Is MDT must have for OS deployment in SCCM 2012

I know that existing MDT could be integrated to a new SCCM.
Is MDT must have for OS deployment in SCCM 2012 or SCCM has its own engine for OS deployment?

Thanks for the answers.
one more question...
I am going to start SCCM deployment in test environment.
For OS deployment part:
if MDT is planned for integration with SCCM should I configure OS deployment in SCCM before adding MDT.
Or in this scenario OS deployment in SCCM could not be touched.
After all previous answers I understand that OS deployment module is part of SCCM installation and is independent from MDT.

Lync 2013 x64 silent client deployment via SCCM 2012 SP1

Greetings everyone!
I ran into a problem with Lync 2013 x64 silent deployment.
I need to provide every workstation with Lync 2013 client, so i decided to use deployment via SCCM 2012 sp1.
I created 2 msp files with OCT, one based on x86 Office 2013 Proplus, and other based on x64 Office 2013 Proplus.
Added them as applications to sccm software library.
Deployment of Lync 2013 x86 application was a success with over than 80% compliance.
But all Lync 2013 x64 automatic installations finish with different errors.
I created special device collection for workstations with office 2010 x64 and 2013 x64, because i can't install other architecture products once it has x64 product installed.
My membership query-rules for this collection:
Office 2013 x64
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90150000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
Office 2010 x64
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90140000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
My application deployment type points to setup.exe in office 2013 x64 installation folder, where i created msp file in updates folder via OCT and edited config.xml file in proplus.ww folder.
So my installation program looks like this setup.exe /adminfile updates\1lync.msp /config proplus.ww\config.xml
The same configuration works with Lync 2013 x86 deployment, except other setup folders.
When i try running installation program setup.exe with /adminfile and /config parameters locally, it installs successfully without errors or warnings.
I'm trying to find out problem source, does anyone have ideas what I am doing wrong?
Also i'm trying to reduce office 2013 installation folder size, what subfolders are necessary for Office 2013 proplus installation (still installing only lync with common files and tools)? Because now 3.5 GB package is quite hard to distribute to sccm secondary
sites with deployment point.
Thanks in advance.

How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server

How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server
Thanks in Advance
NTRao

Hi,
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.

select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID, SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType, SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name, SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier, SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup, SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.OperatingSystemNameandVersion like '%6.2%'

A MUST HAVE FOR ICHAT WITH iSIGHT!!!!!!

If anyone who buys an iSight to use with iChat or any other application you must get iGlasses! If you have ever thought that wow the video is really dark or boring you must try the demo atleast of iGlasses. I spent the 9 dollars or something and bought this program because i would be talking to my dad with all the lights off using the night vision feature.
b It is a must HAVE! The link below is the iGlasses for Macs.
http://www.ecamm.com/mac/iglasses/
Jon
PS Have fun. I had alot of fun making videos with my iSight using iMovie!!! Try it.

Hi Gil,
any known compatibility issues with iGlasses?
Assuming you mean iSight compatibility, not since these.
All in all, a good app if you want or need the features it adds. I have read no negative comments, and the price is certainly right.
I admire the try-before-you-buy period, too. Who could complain about that?

The new i photo won't let me manually sort my own photos. . . a must have for my business! can i revert to the prior i photo, or???

the new i photo won't let me manually sort my own photos. . . a must have in my line of work! can i revert to the old i photo, and if so how? if not, what are my options?

I have no idea what you are doing - folders in iPhoto do not hold photos - they only hold other folders or albums - and albums can be sorted manually - and again have no idea what you mean by you hade to "minimize the size" - adding photos to albums has nothing to do with their size
iPhoto is really easy - but does have a learning curve - under the help menu there is an iPhoto help section that contains several very good videos to helo you get started with learning iPhoto - the owuld be well worth the time to watch

WinPE Error Capture and Deploy Win7 - SCCM 2012 R2 w/ CU1

Hi Forum
Deploy and Capture: Windows 7 x64
SCCM Primary single site server: Server 2012 R2
Version: SCCM 2012 R2 w/ CU1
Environment is Hyper-V on Windows 8.1, deploying to a Gen1 VM with a legacy adapter.
I am running into an issue whilst building a lab environment. I have built a Capture and Deploy TS (using the standard TS, ie not MDT although this is integrated) and deployed to an imported machine using the MAC address via PXE. Custom Client package has
been created and put against the TS.
The machine picks up the PXE response and boots into the SCCM WinPE environment and I choose the TS. The only currently available TS is the Build and Capture.
It runs through the TS restarting at various points as expected and then after the Client Manager package is installed it restarts and runs the TS... at this point it starts saying. "Initiating Hardware Devices.." (or something to that effect).
It does this for about 15 seconds before I get this error:
Windows PE initialization failed with error code 0x8022001B
Seen here:
I am unable to get the cmd prompt up at this point and it will restart and carry on a normal build, no TS running, meaning no capture.
If any can advise, please do.
Thanks in advance
NN

Hyper-V should work fine without any drivers injected, and you did your VM correctly.
During this error, what you see in a back ground, ConfMgr wallpaper or Windows 7 black first-run screen "preparing/first run"? I´m just thinking, is there any chance, that you have additional restart step set to boot to WinPE, instead of booting
to default OS?
Otherwise, you will need to be able to Access CMD with F8 for more troubleshooting. Make sure you have F8 command Support enabled on boot image and re-distrubute it. Or create new boot image as Peter suggested.

Cannot publish Flash Updates Verification of file signature failed for file SCUP 2011, SCCM 2012 R2 and WSUS all on same Windows Server 2012 machine

I am attempting to distribute Adobe Flash updates using SCUP 2011, SCCM 2012 R2, WSUS ver4 and Windows Server 2012. Everything installs without error. I have acquired a certificate for SCUP signing from the internal Enterprise CA. I have
verified the signing certificate has a 1024 bit key. I have imported the certificate into the server's Trusted Publishers and Trusted Root CA stores for the computer. When I attempt to publish a Flash update with Full content I receive the following
error:
2015-02-13 23:00:48.724 UTC Error Scup2011.21 Publisher.PublishPackage PublishPackage(): Operation Failed with Error: Verification of file signature failed for file:
\\SCCM\UpdateServicesPackages\a2aa8ca4-3b96-4ad2-a508-67a6acbd78a4\3f82680a-9028-4048-ba53-85a4b4acfa12_1.cab
I have redone the certificates three times with no luck. I can import metadata, but any attempt to download content results in the verification error.
TIA

Hi Joyce,
This is embarrassing, I used that very post as my guide when deploying my certificate templates, but failed to change the bit length to 2048. Thank you for being my second set of eyes.
I changed my certificate key bit length to 2048, deleted the old cert from all certificate stores, acquired the a new signing cert, verified the key length was 2048, exported the new cert to pfx and cer files, imported into my Trusted publishers
and Trusted Root Authorities stores, reconfigured SCUP to use the new pfx file, rebooted the server and attempted to re-publish the updates with the following results:
2015-02-16 13:35:44.006 UTC Error Scup2011.4 Publisher.PublishPackage PublishPackage(): Operation Failed with Error: Verification of file signature failed for file:
\\SCCM\UpdateServicesPackages\a2aa8ca4-3b96-4ad2-a508-67a6acbd78a4\3f82680a-9028-4048-ba53-85a4b4acfa12_1.cab.
Is there a chance this content was already created and signed with the old cert, so installing the new cert has no effect? In ConfigMgr software updates I see 4 Flash updates, all marked Metadata Only (because they were originally published as "Automatic."
No Flash updates in the ConfigMgr console are marked as downloaded. I can't find any documentation on how the process of using SCUP for downloading content for an update marked Metadata Only actually works.
Comments and suggestions welcome.

Office 2013 Professional Plus - 32 bit Deployment takes an unacceptable time to deploy in SCCM 2012 - SP1 CU3

We recently migrated over to SCCM 2012 SP1 - CU3 the first of the year from SCCM 2007 SP2. We have used SCCM in the past to deploy Office 2010 and had deployed Office 2013 to our IT Dept. before moving over to SCCM 2012. The deployment went as
expected. Now that we are ready to start deploying Office 2013 to our corporate workstations, the deployment time is running 4.5 hours to 5.5 hours from the local site server DP. I am afraid to find out what time we are looking at for remote DP's.
The three factors that are different is that our SCCM site server is virtual, it is running 2012 for the OS, and obviously SCCM 2012-SP1 - CU3. We are using the same package source files. Previous to a successful deployment we were
seeing hash mismatch errors which MS support pointed us to the nic driver on the VM was using E1000E and to change it to a VMX something driver.
So I guess my question is anyone else out there deploying Office 2013 ProPlus - 32 bit from this type of environment? Our previous deployment time for office was a little over an hour (not five hours). Any suggestions where to look to improve
the deployment time?
I am expected to deploy this in one week and have been working on these issues for weeks.

I see now that you are using a combination of scripts and ConfigMgr package/program.
The AppEnforce.log file is for use with the new ConfigMgr Application model.
Is there any reason that you don't use the new model for deploying Office 2013? It's a single step process and perfect for it. If you use the Office Customisation Tool you can customise what you like. The process will then uninstall Office 2010 and install
Office 2013.
This is how you do it

Handling of pending reboot, exclusive updates for patch management with SCCM 2012

Hello,
Planning to use SCCM 2012, I would like to understand how smart is SCCM 2012 when dealing with specific patch management situation.
Assuming I have the following:
- A given server to be patched is missing a lot of updates, several being mutually exclusive. This typical case will require several reboot / patching to properly obtain a server fully up to date.
- A given server to be patched is in pending reboot state because the local admin installed new software and has not restarted the server yet as requested
- Those servers have configured maintenance windows of 2 hours during each night. I scheduled a deployment of missing patches authorizing restart.
--> when the maintenance window will be reached:
- will the server first be restarted to clean the pending reboot ?
- will the the server be patched / restarted several times as required to fully meet the updates to be deployed.
Another scenario on workstation side:
- can I enforce deployment of updates at a given time, do not automatically restart the workstation during patch deployment, but after deployment schedule a mandatory restart with a countdown if there is a pending reboot... From end-user perspective, it
would have the following behavior. For instance:
- patches are automatically installed on Monday at 10 AM
- as soon as deployment is done, warning message is displayed to ask users to reboot
- then user has up to 48h to restart his computer by himself. If he does not do it, it will be automatically done after countdown expires.
--> Can such a scenario be managed by SCCM 2012 ?
Regards.

Hi,
I have a related question about deploying Microsoft Security Updates to workstations via SCCM 2012. Is there a way to deploy the MS updates to workstations and only suppress reboots for machines with users logged on or locked? There seems to
be only 2 different options for reboots, Suppress them all or don't suppress them at all. We would like SCCM to reboot the machines that are logged off, but suppress the reboot for those that are logged on, while at the same time, provide the user with
a notification that their machine needs to be rebooted (at their convenience).
We've tried applying the Domain GPO "No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations" (Enabled) and "Configure Automatic Updates" (Disabled), but the logged on/locked machines still receive the restart countdown with no
option to postpone or delay.
This is a show stopper for us since we have an environment where we are absolutely not allowed to reboot a logged on machine.
For a little background, we are coming from SMS 2003 and the Distribute Software Updates (ITMU) way of deploying MS Updates, where we could always set the program to run "Only when no user is logged on".
Please tell me there is a way to achieve our desired result.
Thanks,
Dan

CRM2013 Silent deployment through SCCM 2012 R2

Hello.
First of all im sorry, if im posting in the wrong Forum - but this seemed as the correct one.
I want to deploy CRM 2013 Outlook Client, through Software center - but i cant seem to get it working.
I cant seem to find a way, to disable / accept the License Agreement automatically, so that our Domain Users can enjoy a completely silent CRM deployment.
I have tried several guides, and i have also tried with SetupClient.exe /A - and the "guide" completes, but theCrmClient_32.msi dosent work.
I would really appreciate, if some of you guys would help me out :)
We are using SCCM 2012 R2
Datatechnician

Looks like you need the /Q switch for this
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh699665.aspx
/Q
Quiet mode installation. This parameter requires a configuration file in XML format. The /i parameter contains the name of the XML configuration file. No dialog boxes or error messages will appear on the display screen. To capture error message information,
include the log file parameter (/L or /LV).

Improvements for Client Remediation in SCCM 2012 R2

Hello,
Is there any information available about Client Remediation improvements in SCCM 2012 R2 over previous versions?

If by previous version you mean ConfigMgr 2007, then yes, they added a health feature that runs as a scheduled task.
Remember though that nearly all agent health issues in ConfigMgr are not ConfigMgr's doing, they are the result of WMI. So really, it's about the OS you are using. If you are on XP (God help you) you are pretty much always going to have WMI issues for a
variety of reasons (including stupid user tricks). If you are on Win 7, then you're better off but you should also deploy KB2775511. Win 8, to my knowledge, is pretty solid as far as WMI goes.

Steps to create MDT based Build and capture TS in SCCM 2012 R2

Hi ,
I have MDT2012 update 1 with Config manager 2012 R2 integrated. If I try to create MDT task sequence in config manager console, I don't see and template for build and capture. Anyone using the build and capture, pls. share steps with me . Any help will be
appreciated. Preferably UDI based if possible. Thanks in advance.
Regards,

MDT 2012 Update 1 is for SCCM 2012 SP1
MDT 2013 is for SCCM 2012 R2
So you need to upgrade your MDT installation. After that, make sure to install the ConfigMgr integration from the start screen (menu)
