Novell GINA removed after R2 upgrade to ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 client

I am working with a customer and we just noticed an issue when upgrading some of their SCCM 2012 SP1 clients to R2.  After the upgrade, everything appears to work fine, but as soon as a restart happens, the Novell GINA is replaced by the Windows GINA. 
These machines were running Windows XP SP3 with Novell Client 4.91 SP5.  This did not occur when installing the ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 client originally, but appears to happen every time when the ConfigMgr client is upgraded to R2.  I wouldn't have
thought the ConfigMgr 2012 R2 client upgrade would have anything to do with the GINA, but we can replicate the issue. 
It's not due to Windows Updates getting installed in the background while the client is temporarily unmanaged, which was my initial thought.  We ensured the policy to disable Windows Updates was correctly in place and that no updates were installed. 
The only fix so far is to completely remove the Novell client and reinstall it. 
Has anyone else run in to this?
Thanks!

Yes, I have seen this when we took over a group that had Novell. It was ConfigMgr 2007 at the time.  We only had to keep Novell long enough to completely remove it later.  So your process is correct.

  • Problem upgrading from SCOM 2012 SP1 to R2 (near impossible to uninstall SCOM agent from Management Server)

    I'm trying to upgrade our SCOM 2012 SP1 environment to R2, but I have a heck of a problem getting there.
    We currently have an test installation with SCOM 2012 SP1 with Management Server and Console on a single 2012 Standard server. The database are located on a remote server. The R2 setup stopped mid way through the setup, because the SCOM 2012 SP1 agent is
    installed. And I could NOT remove it my any normal means. I've tried "misexec.exe /x productcode", the setup, powershell uninstall and so on. Nothing works, because the management server installation is blocking the uninstall. The uninstall says
    I have to remove the management installation first. And that's not gonna happen.
    I had to follow this guide to finally getting through the setup: http://www.opsman.co.za/forcibly-removing-a-scom-agent-that-cannot-be-uninstalled-by-normal-means/
    In addition to searching for the agent msi install key in registry, and deleting everything. After I did this, the setup is working, and the SCOM management server, console and DB are up to date. However, the Microsoft Monitoring Agent are STILL there in
    Control Panel. And this can NOT be the most healthy way of getting through the setup.
    I'm about to upgrade to R2 in our production environment with 3 management servers, and I would hate to go through this sketchy process there as well. Just for the record, I have no idea why the agents are installed on our management servers.
    Any of you have tips as to how I can get rid of the agents more gracefully?

    Hi
    Thanks for the replay guys!
    None of those links touch my problem I'm afraid. I have followed the Upgrade guides you pointed to, step by step. But the setup does not Complete. There's problems during the actual software Upgrade of the management servers (3'rd step in the Upgrade page).
    I've dived into the Application logs and installation logs, and as far as I can tell, it stops because it has trouble upgrading while the server has the 2012 SP1 Agent installed. I do not remember the actual error text right now, but I can get it in a few
    days.
    Anyhow, the setup DID move on once I removed most of the registry information of the agent installation. So. that leaves me to the conclusion that the agent IS in fact stopping the setup. Either the agent are malfunctioning, or the setup do not expect the
    agent to be present on the management servers. I suspect the latter to be the the most plausible. At least until Yan Li told me this was normal.
    So, I'm not sure what to think. I'm pretty much forced to remove this agents, as this is the only thing allowing me to continue the setup. At least untill I'm told otherwise. But I hate to do it this way. It's so dirty. The registry is pretty much cleaned,
    but there's still Application files present, and the agent is still in the Control panel and can be started. It's not something I would like to do in our prodution environment.

  • ConfigMgr 2012 R2 client on Windows 7 SP1 x86 causes "Program Compatibility Assistant" to appear

    After I upgraded to R2 I am seeing the message below on newly installed Windows 7 SP1 x86 machines when I go to Control Panel and open the Configuration Manager Properties and then close it. This seems to only happen on 32-bit Win7 not on 64-bit.
    I have created a new package for the client from definition and I also tried building new images using my Build and Capture task sequences. In this case I get the same message on the x86 Windows 7 SP1 machine if I log on after the Build & Capture is
    done. My Build And Capture sequences uses the RTM-image for Windows 7 SP1 that has been patched using Offline Servicing.
    Has anyone else seen this? Everything is working normally on the clients and if I click "This control panel works correctly" the message goes away. However, if I click "Open the control panel using recommended settings" that results in
    admin-rights being required to open the Configuration Manager Properties under the Control Panel.
    Regards,
    Carl

    I just pinged the product team and they are not aware of this issue at all so please someone open a support case with CSS where the issue can be worked.

    I'll be opening a support case first thing monday :)

    Hi Tim
    How did you go with this? We're still seeing this issue migrating Windows 7 x86 machines from the ConfigMgr 2007 SP2 R3/ConfigMgr 2012 client to the ConfigMgr 2012 R2 client in multiple environments.
    Cheers
    Sam
    Ticket opened with Microsoft Support, still no fix but I will keep you all posted.

  • Leave Data Drive (D:) Untouched During Rebuild In ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 Task Sequence

    Windows Server 2008 R2, ConfigMgr 2012 SP1
    I'm looking for a way to put logic on a Task Sequence that will only format/wipe the OS partition during a rebuild i.e. leave the Data Partition (D: drive) untouched.
    I have removed "Format And Partition Disk" task then which
    option should be selected in "Apply operating system images" task.
    SourabhR

    Thanks Peter, Its worked for me :)
    After proceeding with this approach got another block.
    how could i avoid such cases as shown below where another partition is available before the boot partition. According to
    Next available formatted partition option,highlighted partition will be wiped and will get the OS.
    Is there any way like preflight checks (TS variable or wmi queries,conditions),so i can avoid this type of scenarios.

  • Failed to resume task sequence / ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 vs. R2

    We have two configMgr environment at customers place.  A Lab Environment and production Environment. Till July 2014 both environment were at the same Version level (ConfigMgr 2012 SP1).
    We create the WIM-Image in LAB to use this WIM in the production. There were no problems till yet. Some months before we updated our
    LAB to ConfigMgr 2012 R2 CU2. The Production is still
    ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 CU3. Now if we create a new image in our LAB we can't use this Image in Production.
    OSD ends after 'Setup Windows and ConfigMgr' step. There is an error:
    Can't we use an captured Image from a ConfigMgr 2012 R2 environment in a ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 environment?

    I am not 100% if this is really supported (even if the versions were equal). I've seen situations where you can still see references to the MP and sitecode of the test environment when having a close look at the logs (although it did not cause real issues).

  • Server 2012 X64 R2 DNS Server keeps shutting down after inplace upgrade from Server 2012 X64

    Hi,
    ever since upgrading from Server 2012 X64 to Server 2012 R2 X64 my dns server keeps shutting down every several minutes before having to do a restart.  When viewing the event log this is all I see..
    The DNS Server service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 497 time(s).  The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
    if I look in the Application Error Log,  I will also find the following:

    I have tried removing and then reinstalling the DNS Server role, but the same situation occurs..
    thanks,

    Hi,
    I'm going crazy,  I've upgraded my Server 2012 Standard to Server 2012 R2 Standard and now my DNS server keeps crashing since the in place upgrade.  I have finally narrowed it down to it only crashes after several minutes if I load the data from
    a file instead of the registry.  As a test I:
    -1- killed all my dns data,
    -2- uninstalled the dns server role
    -3- deleted the /windows/system32/dns directory
    -4- reinstalled the DNS server role
    -5- used the wizard to create a DNS server and a forward zone.
    everything works okay, no crashes,  then I change the advanced propertied of the DNS server to load from file, restart the DNS server and once again it crashes every 2 minutes..
    Please help,  this is killing me..
    thanks in advance..

  • SMS_Exec service crashing repeatedly after upgrade from SCCM 2012 SP1 to 2012R2

    SCCM 2012R2 is running on 2008R2 in the primary site. After the upgrade to R2 we noticed that none of the stats or collection memberships were updating. We also couldn't manually run summerization on any deployments.

    Hi,
    I agree with Jason.
    You'd better contact product support so that they can track the crash to see if there is a common theme
    around it, thus the need for a hotfix. Or maybe there is already a hotfix for this that has not been made public yet.
    We
    are trying to better understand customer views on social support experience, so your participation in this
    interview project would be greatly appreciated if you have time.
    Thanks for helping make community forums a great place.

  • Upgrading a ConfigMgr 2012 Secondary site

    Hello All,
    Just to get a clarification, Is it possible to upgrade or promote an existing ConfigMgr 2012 Secondary site to a Primary Site. I didn't install any seoarate SQL server for secondary site. Am using the default SQL configuration.
    Please help.
    V I S H N U

     I didn't install any seoarate SQL server for secondary site. Am using the default SQL configuration.
    That is not true. Secondary sites require SQL Server and will automatically install SQL Server Express.
    Can you please elaborate on why you are trying 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,
    etc, have been followed as per the official documentation available, however I'm stuck in this point, and surely enough I haven't been able to find out a similar case.Additionally I'm adding
    the ConfigMgrPrereq log (the relevant portion of it) in case someone could kindly take a look at it.

    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

    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.

    Hello 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,

  • ConfigMgr 2012 R2 Client Failes to Install on HP EliteBook laptops with Synaptics Touchpad drivers

    I've come across a fairly frustrating issue that has been taking up way too much of my time that past week or so. The issue started a little after some of our larger sites were migrated from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012. I started getting complaints that one of
    our technical workstations (HP 8770w) was not deploying properly. I started investigating the issue and the problem involved the removal of the old ConfigMgr 2007 client and install of the new SCCM 2012 R2 client.
    The Windows 7 x64 OS WIM that I am using is one that was migrated from the 07 to 2012 environment and it has been working fine. During the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step the old client is removed and the new one for the 2012 environment installs. There
    has not been any issues with this, but I feel something has changed now that we are deploying the 2012 R2 client.
    Back to the issue, what happens is that the ConfigMgr client fails to uninstall the old client. Looking in the client.msi_uninstall file you will see that it is unable to locate a couple of SCCM 2007 configmgr client patches that were installed so it can
    uninstall it. I get the "Couldn't find local patch ''. Looking for it at its source." line in the uninstall file. When I look for that under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Patches the ENTIRE directory structure is empty. There is not a single item
    listed under patches.
    Since the only thing that happens in between the pushing down of the WIM and installing the configmgr client is the drivers that is where I started to look. I started over with the basics (disk and network driver) and it was able to complete the OSD process
    (like the other 30+ models we currently support). I added drivers one by one having the system re-image each time. When I got to the Synaptics TouchPad drivers the issue would return. I've tried around 5 different drivers offered from the vendor and they
    all result in the same behavior.
    I'm still actively troubleshooting how to FIX this issue, but I have no idea why this is going on. I thought I would share with the community on this issue and see if anyone else has observed this VERY odd behavior.
    Here is a snippet from the client.msi_uninstall log:

    @Narcoticoo
    I've not used the tool. This issue has also expanded since the original title as I'm getting the same behavior with the driver package that does not include the Touchpad driver anymore. I'm currently going back to just the network and storage driver to see
    if it works or not.
    However, this is the bigger issue I have:
    I have an older build called Build 5.7 internally. Using that WIM and the same driver package (original one that has the Touchpad driver included) it works without issue. Never had a problem.
    The new build is called Build 6.0 internally. This WIM and the same driver package has not been working at all.
    We support about 35 models with our current Windows 7 x64 image and I am having the same failure issue on four different HP models. They are the 8770w, ZBook 17, Z600 and Z820. The majority of the other systems are Dell devices. Just for transparency sakes,
    nothing Dell specific is in the core WIM that is captured.
    So, Build 5.7 can deploy just fine on all pieces of hardware with their old driver packages. The new Build 6.0 intalls on almost every platform fine with their old driver packages. These four HP systems are nothing but trouble though. I've opened a case
    with HP to see if they have noticed anything internally. I'm not too hopeful, but at least it is something. Maybe there is some odd conflict with a newer Windows patch or some odd dependency on older HP drivers. The new image has .NET 4.5.1, IE 10 and so forth.

  • Upgrade of scvmm 2012 sp1 to scvmm 2012 r2 fails with "Access to the path 'C:\ProgramData\VMMLogs\SetupWizard.log' is denied"

    I had a working scvmm 2012 sp1 installation, and am attempting to upgrade to 2012 r2.
    The old SCVMM product was removed (retaining the database), as well as ADK 8.0.  I then installed ADK 8.1.
    The install fails after a number of minutes with "Access to the path 'C:\ProgramData\VMMLogs\SetupWizard.log' is denied".  From my reading of the log, that was the only obvious failure, and that the VMM server MSI installed successfully. 
    It doesn't appear to get so far as to upgrade the database.
    The OS is Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, with all updates applied.  I have tried the install many times, noticed that the McAfee virus scanner was pushed to the box at some point, so I removed it, but still no dice.

  • ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 module on runbooks servers

    Let me come out the gate stating I am very new to Orchestrator and somewhat new to powershell.
    I want to start testing the ConfigMgr SP1 cmdlets via runbooks.  I found a blog that shows some gotchas on how to run the .Net script action which is great, however all the examples I see show importing the module from an installed management console
    directory.
    I am assuming that when I run a runbook that needs to reference Configmgr cmdlets that the module must imported from a local path on the runbook server(s) itself.  I am really hoping that this doesnt mean I have to install the SCCM 2012 SP1
    admin console on my Orchestrator Runbook Servers?
    Am I just missing something obvious here?  I tried copying the entire bin directory that contains the psd1 and all the associated dll's, etc. to another machine and importing the module, but unfortunately it fails with:
    Import-Module : The 'C:\tmp\SCCMPowershell\ConfigurationManager.psd1' module cannot be imported because its manifest co
    ntains one or more members that are not valid. The valid manifest members are ('ModuleToProcess', 'NestedModules', 'GUI
    D', 'Author', 'CompanyName', 'Copyright', 'ModuleVersion', 'Description', 'PowerShellVersion', 'PowerShellHostName', 'P
    owerShellHostVersion', 'CLRVersion', 'DotNetFrameworkVersion', 'ProcessorArchitecture', 'RequiredModules', 'TypesToProc
    ess', 'FormatsToProcess', 'ScriptsToProcess', 'PrivateData', 'RequiredAssemblies', 'ModuleList', 'FileList', 'Functions
    ToExport', 'VariablesToExport', 'AliasesToExport', 'CmdletsToExport'). Remove the members that are not valid ('HelpInfo
    URI'), then try to import the module again.

       nException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Modules_InvalidManifestMember,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ImportModuleCommand
    Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks!!

    So I partly answered my own question.  The above error message was due to having Powershell 2.0 on the test machine and not 3.0 which is required.  I updated the powershell version and was able to import without error (and without installing the
    full admin console).
    So I guess my question then comes down to what is the best practices for things like this?  Certainly do not want to install admin consoles for every SC product on my runbook servers.  It appears that with SCCM I can simply create a directory (standard
    on all runbook servers of course) and copy the files there and import from that location.  is that the preffered method for handling this?
    Thanks!!

  • How to Upgrade Service Manager 2012 SP1 with Windows 2008 R2 to SCSM 2012 R2 with Windows 2012 R2

    Hi,
    We are using Service Manager 2012 SP1 UR2 with Windows 2008 R2.
    I am planning to upgrade Service Manager to R2 with Windows 2012 R2. I found the steps to upgrade SCSM 2012 Sp1 to R2 but need assistance to upgrade with 2012 R2 OS.
    Please suggest how to achieve the above mentioned objective.
    Regards, Syed Fahad Ali

    Virtualization solves this problem handily, by allowing you to create a new server to run the new program on the same hardware. it also solves the related problem of moving off unsupported hardware without changing OS or application. VMware is my personal
    favorite, but Hyper-V, Xen, and VirtualBox all have similar capabilities.
    Compare the cost of work and confidence in success of a upgrade, where any of thousands or millions of uncontrolled settings could cause an issue, to the cost of work and confidence in success of installing a new OS instance and configuring a known state
    for the new environment.
    In short, upgrades should no longer be a thing. there are just too many ways they can go wrong, and it's far too easy to create a new OS with minimal expense and effort.
