Migrating from Marimba 8.1 to Configuration Manager 2012 R2

Good morning all,
I have been tasked with architecting a migration from Marimba 8.1 to Configuration Manager 2012 R2 and I noticed that there is almost no material available in the web about this, can someone provide whatever insight information possible?
Thanks in advanced for your help on this matter

Jeff,
I agree with you on some of your thoughts, I should've describe the situation better.... I am not trying to migrate anything from Marimba, I am architecting an entire ConfigMgr 2012 R2 infrastructure altogether, what I am trying to do is (because I have
to rationalize and normalize their DSL) see if I can salvage any applications and some level of their customization to convert them into ConfigMgr applications.... they have about 3000 apps and not all of them are in .msi format, Marimba uses a very strange
folder format for this.... trying to see if anyone out there has dealt with this before.

Version of SQL Server Express for a Secondary Site in Configuration Manager 2012 R2

Hi,
I want to install a secondary site in my Configuration Manager 2012 R2. I want to install the SQL Server Express in a diferente drive. To do so, I want to previous install the SQL Server Express.
Can I use the SQL Server 2014 Express?
Thanks in advance...
Dmsousa

Sorry, going to be blunt here, but this is why "best practices" are useless. If you don't know the "why" of the best practice and when to apply it, it will cause you to do things that simply aren't necessary (or even harmful) by
blindly trying to apply them. It is simply is not necessary for secondary sites for perf or any other reason. Also, if this is a VM, then your virtual disks will most likely be on the same physical disks which means you do *not* in any way gain any perf benefits
anyway (perf benefits come from have additional physical spindles -- logical separation is just that *logical*).
You have far bigger challenges ahead of you, push the easy button on this one, let ConfigMgr deploy SQL Express for you and move on.

VHD for System Center Configuration Manager 2012 R2

I just downloaded of TechNet the VHD of System Center Configuration Manager 2012 R2. However when you bring it online it is in the domain Conteso. I have searched all over TechNet and the web, but there is no record of the admin password nor is there
any documented instructions with the download.

[Intune / Configuration Manager 2012 R2] Android Enrollment

Hello
I have a problem with my hybrid configuration (Intune / CM12 R2).
I can't enroll Android Devices.
What i've done :
- Subscribe an account to Windows Intune
- Activate AD synchronization
- Change UPN in my Active Directory
- Make a synchronization between my on-premise AD and Azure
- Install Configuration Manager 2012 R2
- Add Intune connector
- Authorize my user collection 'Intune-user' to enroll devices
- Add Windows Intune system role
- Authorize Android management
When i try to enroll my android device (i first add company portal), i can log on with my user but i have a message that say : "We can't add this device. If this message open up again, contact your support ...".
The only clue i have is in the dmpdownloader.log :
ERROR: Service health log: Failed to load Enrollment Policy for accountId *********************************, userId ***********************************
And in the dmpuploader.log :
Ping cloud ... SMS_DMP_UPLOADER
10/12/2013 16:50:14 4736 (0x1280)
Ping cloud returned nothing
Gaëtan

Hello Gaëtan :)
Did you succeed with Android device enroll ?
I'm also done all steps you have mentioned but could not enroll Android device :(
What is correct CNAME for EnterpriseEnrollment.MyDomain enroll:
is it EnterpriseEnrollment.manage.Microsoft.com or is it only manage.Microsoft.com ?
Also here is excerpt from companyportal_1.log I've sent to my mail from android device:

Configuration Manager 2012 SP1 CU4 Console - Content Status very slow

I have a SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 environment running.
When using the console and viewing the Monitoring / Distribution Status / Content Status it took about 10-15 minutes to get the information.
How can this be speed up a bit ? By adding additional indexes in SQL ?
Any tips, hints are very welcome.

Hi,
Have you seen this previuous thread on the topic?
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7935143e-21a8-4770-83bf-7e1938d9defd/configuration-manager-2012-content-status-slow?forum=configmanagergeneral
I would run the script from Ola that reports back on the indexe defragementeation and what I normally see as well is that more than one TempDB file increases performance greatly. It is most likely covered in the session mentioned above by Tim.

Deploying Office 365 Pro Plus using System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1

Hello,
I am trying to deploy Office 365 Pro Plus to my client machines (more than 100) via. System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1. It will use one administrator account for installation. But as per the licensing, we can install Office for up to 5 PCs/Macs
and 5 more Windows tablets/iPads with one Office 365 Pro Plus licenses. If this is the case, then I cannot install Office 365 Pro Plus with one admin account to my 100+ machines, as it will violate the licenses of O365 Pro Plus.
So, what is the alternative approach?
Thanks
Raj

If this is the case, then I cannot install Office 365 Pro Plus with one admin account to my 100+ machines, as it will violate the licenses of O365 Pro Plus.
Hi,
this is incorrect.
There is no licensing restriction/control for the *installation* account at all, the licensing is related to who is *using* Office365ProPlus *after* installation is performed. This control, is implemented by the Microsoft Account, or OrgID, used to sign-in/activate
to Office365 when *using* Office365ProPlus.

Streamlined Client Management and VDI with Configuration Manager 2012

Hi,
There is an interesting blog about managing ConfigMgr 2012 Clients in a VDI environment.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2011/11/15/streamlined-client-management-and-vdi-with-configuration-manager-2012.aspx
But I didn't find any way or description in the blog on how to prepare the client in the base image used for VDI. Do we still have to make the client unique before shutting down the base image? Or will this be done automatically?
Are these new attributes (IsVirtual, IsMachineChangesPersistent ...) enabled by default?
Thanks!
Gr. Cédric.

No this is handled by ConfigMgr post SP1
Are these new attributes (IsVirtual, IsMachineChangesPersistent ...) enabled by default?
For XenDesktop -no you will need to enable them in the client settings (not sure for other virtual
solutions)
In the SCCM Console go to the Administration workspace; click Client Settings. Right click the Default Client Settings and choose Properties
Choose Hardware Inventory and click Set Classes.
Click the Add button and then click Connect.
Enter the computer name of a master image device that has the SCCM client installed.
Enter root\ccmvdi as the WMI namespace and click Connect.
Select CCM_DesktopMachine. Click Ok.

MDT 2012 to Migrate from Windows 2003 32 Bit to Windows 2012 R2 64 Bit

I have used MDT for so long however only for client OS upgrade - XP to Windows 7/8.
We wish to use MDT to migrate from Windows 2003 32 Bit to Windows 2012 R2 64 Bit. All servers are virtual on HyperV or VMWare - plan is to use USMT hardlink Migration.
Is this supported? Has anyone used this for server migration?
Regards, Vik Singh "If this thread answered your question, please click on "Mark as Answer"

Thanks Keith for your reply.
Even is USMT does not work, we are ok. SMIGdeploy will be helpful.
Basically, want MDT to run some scripts on the Windows 2003 server, post which install Windows 2012 and join it to the existing domain with the same computer name.
Then hydration kit to help with the installation of features etc. Also, we would like to take a complete backup to a WIM before migrating.
I am sure this is workable.

How Does Configuration Manager 2012 R2 Endpoint Protection Stack Up to the Competition (Bit9, Symantec, McAfee, etc.)?

I have a client in the financial services sector that owns System Center 2012 R2 (just Operations Manager 2012 R2 deployed so far) that is being courted by Bit9 for its "superior" endpoint protection. Can anyone point me to some credible resources
for comparing Microsoft's Endpoint Protection (component of Configuration Manager 2012 R2) to the competition (Bit9, Symantec, McAfee, etc.)?
If Microsoft's Endpoint Protection is "good enough" (and has a credible long term product roadmap), it probably makes sense to deploy that since it has already been purchased/licensed. Any feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Is there an IPD for Configuration Manager 2012?

I am getting serious of SCCM 2012 and start collecting information about it.
Looking into the recent IPD in Technet I could only find IPD for SCCM 2007 R3.
I am just wondering is there an IPD for SCCM 2012 and where can I find it, or is it coming?
Thanks

Hi,
AS the latest published IPD was for OPSMGR 2012 Beta, my own assumption is that there will be no IPD for COnfiguration Manager 2012 published.

Configuration Manager 2012 SP1 Prerequisite Checker returns "Migration active source hierarchy" error

Hello,
I am getting "Migration active source hierarchy" error in the SCCM 2012 SP1 prerequisite checker on the CM 2012 primary site. The error says "There is an active hierarchy configuration for the migration. Please stop data gathering for each
source site in the source hierarchy." However, actually there is no migration source hierarchy configured and there are no migration jobs displayed in CM 2012 console. We used to configure this feature to migrate CM 2007 to current CM 2012 without service
pack two years ago and we have deleted these configurations.
In migmctrl.log, the following record is being generated every 60 minutes.

How about specifying a source hierarchy with the same name and password of the hierarchy before in the console, then click Clean Up Migration Data?
