Issue upon upgrading SCCM 2012 rto R2 | Prerequisites failed

Hi,
I'm having this issue upon upgrading our current SCCM 2012 server SP1 to R2. When I reach the prerequisite checker,  it fails to detect the User State Migration Tool (USMT) installed, Windows Deployment Tools installed and Windows Preinstallation Environment
installed. I'm guessing that this is because I have the WAIK for Windows 8 and not the WAIK for Windows 8.1. So I followed the instructions from the prerequisite checker and downloaded the latest version of WAIK. When I installed the WAIK for Windows 8.1,
it prompted me that it can't be installed because WAIK for 8.1 is already installed which is kinda weird. So I tried uninstalling WAIK from the server, but I came to this error. ( see image below)
Does anyone know how to get around this problem? This is becoming a showstopper for my upgrade.

When I open the error log, here is what I saw:
I have tried to use an Enterprise account to try to uninstall the WAIK but still it failed.
I followed the workaround provided in the link you sent and I was able to uninstall WAIK. I disjoined the server to AD and uninstalled WAIK. Maybe there is a GPO policy that is blocking the uninstallation.
Thank you very much for your assistance.

  • Issue while Upgrading vmm 2012 sp1 to vmm 2012 R2

    Hi,
    We are trying to upgrade the vmm setup to 2012 r2 ,we retained the existing vmm database
    While upgrading to vmm 2012 r2 , got the below warning message:
    "The VMM database contains one or more services in a failed state. Upgrading to VMM in System Center 2012 R2 is not recommended. Retry the upgrade after you have reinstalled VMM for System Center 2012 SP1 and repaired or removed these services. Click
    Cancel to exit the upgrade."
    Tried to find the bug using the vmm logs file like
    errlevel
    setupwizard
    vmmserver
    In erlevel log, the entry was "0".
    Any idea what the issue is????

    1. You just need CU3 - these are cumulative
    2. Sure, you can take a temporary snapshot. You need to take a SQL backup also.
    3. Don't forget to test the upgrade process on a copy of your site database (use /testdbupgrade)
    This guide may help you

  • How to Upgrade SCCM 2012 if DB is Corrupt

    I have attempted a couple upgrades to SCCM 2012 SP1 to R2.  In each case it appears my DB is corrupt so the upgrade cannot be accomplished.  /testdatabaseupgrade on a separate system indicates several problems.  
    Is there a means of repairing the DB or am I stuck contacting Microsoft for assistance?  Or do I need to start over with a new instance of SCCM 2012 R2?

    Don't upgrade if /testdbupgrade failed. You have to fix the issues first. Which problems did you see?

  • Upgraded SCCM 2012 SP1 to CU5 - Problem updating Endpoint Protection Client (to V4.5.216.0)

    We upgraded SCCM SP1 to CU5. We got one primary site, on which we had no problems with running the CU setup. After the upgrade we pushed the new administrator console and client.
    SP1 CU5 - console update -> Updated on all administrator users (50 computers)
    SP1 CU5- x64 and x86 client update -> Updated on pilot group (50 computers)
    No problems so far.
    We are having troubles updating the Endpoint Protection Client version. This was V4.1.522.0 before the upgrade. When we enroll a new computer, it receives the new V4.5.216.0, which is the last version.
    But we can't update our older clients. We try to deploy the software update (Update for Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 Client - 4.5.216.0 (KB2952678)) but it doesn't install. After 20 minutes, if I look in the Deployment logs, it says the installation
    was successfull; but it isn't, it's still the old version.
    Strange thing is, we can upgrade to an inbetween version (Update for Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 Client - 4.3.215.0 (KB2864366)). Which installs on a test client.
    If I look to the cache files of the new EP Client update, and use the UpdateInstall.exe manually, the update does install. Then I see in the logfile EndpointProtectionAgent.log it still refers to the version 4.1.522.0.
    EP 4.5.216.0 is installed, version is higher than expected installer version 4.1.522.0. EndpointProtectionAgent 13/01/2015 14:54:00 7808 (0x1E80)

  • Inplace upgrade SCCM 2012 R2 server OS from 2008 R2 to 2012R2 and SQL 2008R2 to 2012

    Hi
    Is it possible to do inplace upgrade?
    I have Windows Server 2008 R2, SCCM 2012 R2 CU1, SQL 2008 R2, WSUS and MDT 2013.
    Can I upgrade to Windows server 2012 R2 and SQL server 2012?
    Are there any catches which I must know before upgrade?
    Do I start upgrade with OS and then SQL?

    The in-place upgrade of the operating system is not supported...

  • SCCM 2012 R2 - Migration TS Failed in Release Request Step with Error Code 0x80004005

    Hi
    I have Upgraded my lab from SCCM 2012 SP1 to SCCM 2012 R2. Now, While I am running TS for Refresh/Replace Migration, its successfully captures all the Data & settings and can also restores all Data & settings, but at release request Step TS got failed.
    In SMSTS log file error was "Release Request Failed with error code 0x80004005".
    Is there any KB released by Microsoft to fix this issue?? Due to this issue I am unable to run any other TS.

    I've seen a few weird scenarios with task sequences after an upgrade from SP1 to R2.
    In most cases I've been able to fix these "problems" by simply creating a new task sequence, and copy all the custom steps to the new task sequence.
    Also make sure to update boot images, mdt packages, usmt etc. to new versions.
    So thats what I'd try first....

  • SCCM 2012 R2 Pull DP fails, works on Update Distribution Points

    I'm seeing some odd behavior out of a DP, in particular around driver packages. The system is running SCCM 2012 R2.  When I create the driver package I deploy it to the DP on the Primary Site Server. That usually happens in a couple of minutes or less.
    I then deploy to a remote DP configured for Pull.  This generates the log entries below in the PullDP.log. Even waiting hours doesn't seem to help. If I do a Update Distribution Points for the package, it runs successfully.  I know
    there was something similar fixed in SP1 CU3.

    We ended up changing the DP back to a standard distribution point.  That allowed the driver package to distribute successfully.  so as a result I can't access the logs any longer.
    I should note for anyone who goes searching for this that we had problems with every one of our driver packages.  As I dug into it I found the contents, it looked like for some reason that it wasn't being transferred from the download location into
    the final DP distribution location.  It almost looked like SCCM was ignoring driver package types.  I don't know if its a bug or just something quirky about this environment.
    We were hoping to use Pull DP to handle our distributions more effectively, but we've backed off on that because of all the issues we've had with it.  I hate say it, but it appears to be another SCCM 2012 feature that sounds like a good idea, but the
    implementation leaves a lot to be desired.

  • SCCM 2012 distribution point install failes with faild to verify disk drive

    I am trying to install remote distribution point on new Windows Server 2012 standard but getting failures. here is the code:
    Failed to find a valid drive on the distribution point
    Failed to install DP files on the remote DP. Error code = 15
    I can created files and folder manually on the server fine on the drive specified during the deployment wizard. I need to know what process SCCM 2012 goes through to verify a disk drive for usage as a remote distribution point

    Hi,
    Did you ever get this fixed?
    In my case, it's a physical server with a 2x 500GB in RAID1.
    Server OS is 2012. SCCM Version is 2012 SP1 cu2
    The disk has been partitioned into 2 logical drives: C-Drive and D-drive
    The distmgr.log states:
    failed to find a valid drive on the Distribution Point 
    Failed to install DP Files on the remote DP. Error Code = 15
    Drive D: is not valid. Error = 15
    Do you have any ideas of how SCCM evaluates drives to be correct?
    I've ran a WMI Query and the partition shows as a Local Hard Disk.
    Do you have any more ideas what I can check?
    Thanks!

  • Very disappointed that Lion is causing major problems with disable students assistive software in the UK. Software suppliers are not issuing patches/upgrades until 2012. Totally unacceptable attitude from Apple in ignoring disabled customers

    This is going to affect a large number of disabled UK students as patches and upgrades for the specialist software are not due for release until late 2011/early 2012.
    Only options they have is to revert to Snow leopard, defficult as Apple have even recall resellers stock and upgraded it to Lion.
    I am contacting the UK educational funding bodies with a view to suspending purchasing of all Apple equipment until such time as the situation has resolved itself.

    Ikrups says "Speaking of getting one's professional act together I would take a look in the mirror if I were you. A professional responsible for maintaining the computer equipment and network of a school system would certainly perform extensive testing of any new operating system upgrade before deploying it. Even the smallest corporations don't just upgrade software willy-nilly. If you had thought to set up a test system and verified what software worked and what didn't before deploying Lion to the entire system you would have been protecting your students from these issues. A professional would have discovered these issues and delayed deployment of Lion until the patches you mention were available. But you didn't and now you are trying to deflect blame from yourself and your staff. And you dare to accuse Apple of incompetence. I call hypocrisy"
    I seem to have ruffled a couple of feathers. I do not remember saying I was responsible for computer systems/networks/school systems. Or accusing Apple of incompetence.
    All I did was state that Apple seems to have forgotten or is not aware about the potential impact of Lion on disabled students in the UK and both apple and the assistive software suppliers failed to act together over this omission.
    During our research prior to the launch of Lion we as a specialist group had identified 22 of the 40 applications used in assistive software that had 'Problems' this was communicated to all interested parties. Still waiting for the 'FIX'
    FYI ALL parties have had similar notices on their BB's NOT just Apple.
    despite being given 2 ears and 1 mouth some people do not listen twice as much as they speak.

  • SCCM 2012 Export Task Sequence fails with generic error message

    We have a complex task sequence comprising of more than 50 applications\packages, 1975 drivers, 18 driver packages etc etc. Its long, it's big and it will not export with it's content.
    We have several environments for development test and live. I am attempting to export the primary task sequence with all it's dependencies from live so that I can port it over to a new development environment.
    I can export the zip file without content and it comes to 92Mb in size. The entire task sequence software set is 50Gb+. When I attempt to export with all dependencies and content the process gets about 60% of the way through and fails with the error
    "Error: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect"
    Googling the error roughly defines the problem as 'the export process cannot access the defined source path for one of the dependant items'
    I wrote a PowerShell script that looks as every application, package, driver, driver package, boot image, os image and software update package in the entire SCCM software library and verifies that each and every package has a valid UNC source directory
    that can be reached using test-path.
    I also wrote another tool that parsed the entire source software library on the server looking for permissions errors (permissions on the structure set at a directory level rather than inherited), directories that were too long, inaccessible or otherwise
    blocked, nothing was found.
    It will take a very long time to go through and check each and every dependency by hand - time I do not have at present.
    I looked in the TaskSequenceProvider.log as that is supposed to contain messages from the export process and found the messages in there far too high a level to use

    ====================
    Is there any way of increasing the log verbosity? I need to see what item is causing the export to fail.
    Is there another log containing the information about the export & what it is doing?
    All out builds that use the task sequence complete successfully, we can edit the sequence fine, make changes etc. so no internal corruption we can find.
    Any ideas?

    Torsten, smsprov.log did indeed prove useful, I could see every package as it was validated. Unfortunately the log was wrapping about every 4 minutes and it takes 3+ hours for the task sequence to reach the fail point so I still cannot see the offending
    package as it wraps before I can get to the log.
    I will increase the size of the log and see if I can maintain some details to investigate.
    There was nothing of note in the event logs, certainly nothing leading me to suspect that WMI might be reaching its limits.
    I will keep looking for the cause and will post here when I find it <= positive thinking :)
