Installing SCRIPT'S from SCCM 2012 R2
Hello
I am using SCCM 2012 R2 in my environment recently. I am able to install SCEP to most of my computers, but there are around 150 computers that are facing difficulty in installing SCEP because of old incompatible antivirus (Password Protected). The protected
password cannot be removed silently and the old antivirus server is already down. I have made a script which will uninstall old antivirus and installs SCEP, and it is running perfectly when installed locally. When i package it and deploy to my collection,
it is not installed on my clients. When i monitor my deployment the package appears in the error tab. I also searched some resources in the internet but of no use. Pls help
Thanks
Ashok
What product is the old antivirus?
All Configmgr is doing is running your script via command line using the local system account.
Download pstools
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/bb896649.aspx
run psexec -i -s cmd.exe from a command line.
This will open another window, check it's open with the system account by typing whoami.
Then run your script from that command line window and see why it fails.

Reboot require after install the application from SCCM 2012 deployment
Hi team,
I have a application which is having 2 executable files.
1.exe and 2.exe , reboot is require after install every executable file. Please suggest me how can implement this.
Once reboot done (1st executable file installed and reboot), SCCM should start 2nd executable file.No, because when the application will be installed it will evaluate the requirements of the deployment types in the order of the deployment type priority. The first deployment type that can install, based on its requirements, will be installed, after
that the application will be considered installed and it won't process any other deployment types.

For option: "install new versions automatically", we can simply prevent it via GPO or registry (the registry entry can also be deployed via GPO)
Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Internet Explorer - Install new versions of Internet Explorer automatically
Or

¿Is it possible to upgrade from SCCM 2012 a domain controller in Windows Server 2008 R2 TO 2012 R2?
Hi all.
I want to know if is it possible to upgrade a domain controller from Windows Server 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 installing from SCCM 2012.
Thanks.
Regards.Hi all.
I want to know if is it possible to upgrade a domain controller from Windows Server 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 installing from SCCM 2012.
Thanks.
Regards.
Anything is possible if you can script it. You could create a task sequence to do the following (with scripts):
1. Demote 2008R2 DC to member server
2. Remove 2008R2 member server from domain
3. Build new 2012R2 member server and join to domain
4. Promote 2012R2 member server to DC
You can do this. However, why would you? Just because you can doesn't mean you should. In my opinion it's more trouble and testing than it's worth. How many times would you need to do this?

Upgrade from SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 to R2 Fails - Unsupported Upgrade Path
Hi everybody,
I'm currently upgrading our SCCM infrastructure to SCCM 2012 R2 after have finished with the upgrade from SCCM 2012 RTM to SP1 CU4, thus far everything works fine, but when I try to update any
of the site servers, whether CAS or Primary, I'm getting the following error message in the Prerequisites Check:
I've gone through the system requirements and prerequisites over and over again and I can assure you that every possible update, supported OS, feature set, SQL Server, check list, etc,

-2014 02:07:00> INFO: Detected current installed build version [7711] for sitecode [BRA]. For Upgrade, minimum supported installed build version is [7804].
I confirm that this one site is a secondary one that's attached to a primary site and this log is from the CAS server, I managed to tall it and delete it from that site, but still appears listed
on the CAS management console, any idea how to force the removal of a secondary site that's attached to a primary from the CAS site when it has been removed already from said primary?
I've already tried the
Preinst /DELSITE XXX command but it only works when the site to remove it's attached to the local site and certainly not from a CAS
Finally, the version, build number and everything is correct, no idea what could be the problem, does anybody know a way to bypass this or force the re-evaluation of this rules, I've got
the impression that it's being cached somehow.
Any help would be highly appreciated,
Thank you.
Marcelo Estrada MCP-MCTS-MCITP-MCSA-MCSEHello again everybody,
I've finally managed to fix this up, in the end I had to delete those entries manually from the database as Garry suggested. After this was done the upgrade has gone through as expected with no further ado and has finalized already, now moving on to the
primary sites.
If anybody out there is facing the same issue, what I did was to delete those "stubborn" records executing the following statements over the CAS database:
DELETE
FROMServerDataWHERESiteCode='XXX'
DELETE
FROMSC_SiteDefinitionWHERESiteCode='XXX'
And this is pretty much about it. I'd recommend to take a proper backup first though as best practice.
Thank you all anyways for your answers and comments,

Exe application deployment from SCCM 2012 R2
Hi,
is any limitation to deploy the .exe application from SCCM 2012 R2??
Shailendra DevNo limitation. You just need to know how to install it silently. It is a more manual configuration than if you had an MSI.

Question in Installing exchange connector in SCCM 2012 R2
Hi,
I am installing Exchange connector in SCCM 2012 R2 environment. I have Exchange 2010 SP3 in my environment.
While adding the exchange connector wizard, in the Settings page, I am confused which option to select in
"ALLOW EXTERNAL MOBILE DEVICE MANAGEMENT". The options are
Exchange Default, Allowed and Prohibited.
As per my requirement, i just need the mobile device inventory. Nothing else is required. I have found that incorrect settings here will not allow the users to receive mails.
Can anyone please guide me that which option needs to be selected here as all the settings will be managed by Exchange only and SCCM just requires the inventory information.
Thanks.
-AB
-Thanks ABSo, I think the correct option should be Exchange(Default). Please correct me if I am wrong.
You would have to ask your Exchange admin how it is configured. Wally already provided the link which explains it: "If the mobile device synchronizes with Exchange Server, set the Exchange flag
AllowExternalDeviceManagement to ensure that the mobile device continues to receive email from Exchange after it is enrolled by Configuration Manager. If you install the Configuration Manager Exchange Server connector, you
can set this flag by configuring the option External mobile device management in the Exchange Server connector properties" So it has to be set to "allowed" somehow (either by specifying it in the connector's
properties or using the Exchange settings).

How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server
Thanks in Advance
NTRaoHi,
There are numerous ways to change the cache size.
You could deploy a vbscript to a collection of the devices.
On Error Resume Next
Dim UIResManager
Dim Cache
Dim CacheSize
CacheSize=20000
Set UIResManager = createobject("UIResource.UIResourceMgr")
Set Cache=UIResManager.GetCacheInfo()
Cache.TotalSize=CacheSize
Or you could use a configuration item.
http://blog.coretech.dk/heh/configuration-items-and-baselines-using-scripts-powershell-example/
You can also use the right click tools by Now Micro on a collection, if all the servers are on this would be the easiest / quickest way.

Migrating from SCCM 2012 App-V to Native App-V
Hi
I've recently built a full App-V infrastructure ready to take over the delivery of App-V applications from SCCM to improve on a number of key areas. (We have about 50 App-V apps currently being delivered from SCCM 2012)
I found during testing that when I attempt to publish/stream to some test clients that are SCCM managed, publishing failed. I put this down to the
LocationProvider being configured to allow clients to access their applications from SCCM DPs. All sounds fair. When I configured
IgnoreLocationProvider =1, I was able to publish.
I read Thamim's excellent blog here: http://virtualvibes.co.uk/configuration-manager-2012-sp1-and-app-v-5-0-integration-more-than-meets-the-eye/
Right at the bottom this statement became a concern: "Even though you may get the delivery working from App-V Full Infrastructure, sooner or later CM integration
will run the following commands to remove any publishing servers."
So I guess my questions are as follows:
- What is the best strategy for this type of migration?
I guess I'll have to: A) populate my App-V infrastructure with all currently delivered SCCM App-V apps B) Publish them to appropriate AD groups C) Change the App-V GPO to
IgnoreLocationProvider so the clients receive the apps from App-V not SCCM and D) retire the SCCM App-V apps.
- Is there any setting in SCCM that will kick back in and retake control of the App-V client to prevent publishing from App-V Native?
Thanks
David Murphyhaha thanks Rory
Motivation of going to App-V native is stateless VDI.
We will continue to deliver App-V apps to traditional desktops via SCCM however we are getting burned in app delivery times and shortcut management for our stateless hosts. We are working with large clients with hundreds of apps and baking them all into
a single gold image isn't feasible.
App-V native gives us the capability to target users easily and not have to provide an extra config for masking shortcuts (AppSense etc). It's the whole publish to user, stream down, cache to persistent drive (for other users) in a timely fashion that's
driven the decision.
Hope that makes sense.

Satellite Z930-14F - cannot install Win 8.1 from SCCM 2012 R2 environment
Dear all,
Sattelite Z series laptops cannot install OS (win 8.1) from our SCCM 2012 R2 environment.
Either no installation is starting, or pxe boot aborted error is showed.
The environment is used to successfully install OS (win 8.1) on different other vendor computers (dell) and virtual machines (hyper-v and vmware).
I've tried both UEFI and CMS boot options and tried to switch off the secure boot. Please advice.
Also, i've read about the "SCCM installation package for Toshiba". Will it help in my situation or is it just driver packages for SCCM?
Best Regards, Evgeny.I guess you are speaking about this Toshiba package:
http://www.toshiba.eu/services/on-demand/business-computing/sdp120gs-v/
I dont have much experience using such SCCM drive package but it definitely compatible with the Toshiba business notebooks. The Satellite / Portege Z930 belong to the business range and I think the package should be compatible.
This package seems to be for all IT administrators who manage devices on the corporate network with SCCM 2012 R2. Toshiba offers with the new Toshiba SCCM package a solution to integrate other notebook into an existing IT infrastructure quickly and smoothly and all Toshiba Driver and application packages and a demonstration task sequence are integrated.
However, it seems that you could get more details about this package directly from Toshiba [email protected]
By the way: The Win 8.1 installation requires the UEFI mode (in case the UEFI BIOS is available). But booting from another, external source requires the disabled secure boot option.
So maybe you should use the UEFI mode but should disable the secure boot option in order to boot from LAN. -

Native VHD Boot deployments from SCCM 2012 R2
Hi,
Is anyone able to confirm if SCCM 2012 R2 supports deploying a customized Windows 7 Enterprise WIM to VHD for native boot deployments. ?
MDT 2013 seems to have support for this via the Deploy to VHD Client Task Sequence, however I have not found a direct method of achieving this from
the SCCM console and Operating system Task Sequences.
Thanks
Matt.I'm actually having a crack at doing this (deploying Native-VHD Windows Installs) using SCCM's OSD without MDT 2013 Task Sequences.
I made a diskpart script which almost worked, it created the VHD, but OSD still whacked everything in the Physical NTFS volume and didn't see the VHD as drive c.The Apply Operating System step though - unzipped the OS into the wrong disk. I'll test again
with PE command prompt F8 to check to see if the diskpart script isn't the problem (it completes without error).
That's probably my fault for not adding an manual call of BCDboot at the end of the task sequence. Has anyone successfully done this, albeit non-supported?
Update: The script should work, though it hasn't been tested yet. I found it was being ran AFTER Apply operating system in the SCCM task sequence.
I completely broke my SCCM WDS install for a second time trying to replicate a defect in SCCM 2012 R2 CU3, that I'll write up tomorrow. It involves enabling powershell in one OSD boot image, that breaks ALL deployment.
