OSD Architecture from SCCM 2012 R2
We have happily run SCCM 2012 SP1 for years. In SP1 all of our OSD task sequences used an x86 boot image and based on its collection membership would load 64 or 32 bit Windows without a hiccup.
This weekend we upgraded to 2012 R2. After the upgrade, I made new boot images for each architecture with matching driver sets as I always have. After doing this we assigned all of the OSD task sequences to the newly created x86 boot
images.
The problem is that now only 32 bit windows works in these same task sequences. If you attempt to load a 64 bit OS, the machine will BSOD and die immediately after the OS is applied. If you flip the assigned boot image to our new x64, the 64 bit machines,
load just fine but obviously, this configuration will kill any attempt to load a 32 bit OS.
Long story short is prior to upgrading the interoperablility of x86 boot images applied and now we seem to be limited to having to match the boot image architecture with the OS which sucks.
Any ideas?
The architecture of the boot image should have absolutely nothing to do with the architecture of the deployed operating system if you are using a BIOS-based device.
Have you started researching the blue screen? If you own MDOP, you can analyze the memory dump with DART. Or, googling the stop error should get you started.
If it turns out the driver injection steps aren't working as expected, you'll want to post logs.
It wouldn't hurt to try updating both of your boot images again. It could be that something went wrong when building the x86 one that is causing the inject drivers step to fail.

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.

-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,

¿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?

Client not receiving the software update FROM SCCM 2012 R2
We have SCCM 2012 R2 installed and configured for SUP.and i have synchonice the SUP with WSUS server in the same which is there in the same machine.
Now i can able to deploy the software update from SCCM 2012 R2 without any erro to the windows 7clients, but client side when i check there is no update installed in the clients , but seems there is no error in the client logsHi,
I'd start with running a "Software Updates Scan Cycle" from the configuration manager control panel applet and check the log file Windowsupdate.log, WUAhandler.log.

Gc.HanumareddyHi,
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
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]

Exe application deployment 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.

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.

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.
Luke
Diskpart script:
rem work around any USB disk left in or any CDROM detected by PE as drive D
select volume D
assign letter=F noerr
rem select the formatted volume and reassign it's drive letter
select volume C

rem create and setup VHD file

Sending Email from SCCM 2012 R2
Is it possible to send an email from SCCM server once a job is completed for example Task Sequence completes, Software Deploynment completes etc.
For eg in Altiris my client has sequence which sends email at the end:
bmail -s mailhost.nb.com -t [email protected] -f
[email protected] -h -a "%COMPNAME% has completed %CALLINGJOBNAME%" -b "%CALLINGJOBNAME% submitted by %JOBUSER% has been completed"
Can we implement the same in SCCM 2012 R2?You could run a powershell script using the send-mailmessage cmdlet.
Here's the PS line I use :
Send-MailMessage -To [email protected] -From [email protected] -Subject "OSD Complete for $env:COMPUTERNAME" -Body "OSD Complete for $env:COMPUTERNAME" -SmtpServer xxxx.xxxx.com
Use status Filter Rules based on Message ID 11171. -

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:

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.
