Preferred SUM in SCCM?

I was wondering how and what others are doing. My preference was always on single package with multiple Deployment Groups or ADR, since this way I never got duplicate updates reusing the same package and starting fresh every year.
What are others doing?

Concur with Garth. There's no technical reason for using lots or just a handful of packages. There could be some duplication in the actual source files for the packages, but honestly, you should be using cheap storage for that anyway which should be pennies
per GB.
The only guidance I typically give is to not use one big package. If you stand-up a new DP or if the one package gets corrupted, then distributing or (re)distributing the package will be painful. How you organize the multiple packages is really arbitrary
but I generally recommend based upon some calendar criteria; e.g., semi-annually.

SCCM 2012 Operating System - is it the recommended OS today

I would like to confirm that the 2012 server Operating System is the preferred OS for SCCM 2012 at this time.
Is it performing well without issues?
I would like to upgrade from SCCM 2007 using 2003 OS to SCCM 2012 with 2012 Server Standard.
K. Smith

All supported OSes will work, but I'd use the lastest one (Server 2012 R2) if possible.

Hello, I'm new to spiceworks, I've been asked to create a plugin to help a friend out at work. He showed me some basics and what not, and I have most of the plugin figured out....
Except for one part, If you go into the settings you can add a custom attributes manually to tickets in the help desk.
I would like to make it so that my plugin creates one of it does not already exist, and if thats not possible, thats fine, I will just have it as part of setup to create this attribute,
The most important thing, is that I need to be able to edit and read attributes. How can I do this? Any and all help would be much appreciated!

Okay, I'm sure you've read my thrashing concerning Windows 8 and the slight pep I had towards Windows 8.1. Now we have Windows 10. I'll keep this brief. (Probably not.)The good:Total download and installation time? About 2.5 hours. Once installed, nothing was lost or unfamiliar – unlike Windows 8. Classic Shell was promptly uninstalled – by me.Installation and upgrading was near flawless. Kudos to the Dev team for that! (Only hiccup was a false message saying I was low on memory, which I'm sure an update will rectify posthaste since this is not the case.)Compatibility was not an issue. Everything works thus far.Start menu is back; however, at the last minute, Microsoft decided to hide/remove a needed Start menu tweaking tool which would enable the user to re-arrange the Start menu. (Removing options is bad. See my review of Windows 8.)...

SCCM 2012 R2 Configuration Manager Client Package - stuck "In Progress"

Hi Team; I’m having 2 issues with SCCM 2012 R2:
Issue 1: I'm having a strange issue with the default XXX00002 package - "Configuration Manager Client Package",
it will not deploy to the Secondary Site DP. The console is saying "In Progress" - below is the output from the
distmgr.log file.

Issue 2: I'm trying to deploy a couple of Packages/Applications using SCCM 2012 R2 running on Win2K8 R2 with no luck, knowing that I could install the packages
on a test VM “in the DataCenter site”, but when trying to deploy the packages to production PC “in the Office Site”,
the status is packages deployment compliance stuck at 0%
Infrastructure:
3 SCCM servers: CAS, PRI & SEC. Both CAS and PRI are in the DataCenter site, and SEC is in the Office site. The office site has several IP subnets.
Boundaries are configured through Forest Discovery “IP Ranges and AD Sites” since that the AD site should contain all the IP subnets that the AD site contains, Boundaries groups are also configured and a site reference
server is configured for each group respectively.
A OU based Collection has been configured that contains 13 PC "the collection contains the PCs that the packages should be installed.
Packages/Applications are configured correctly since that I could successfully deploy the packages to the test VM which is on the same subnet as the CAS and the PRI servers "the DataCenter subnet". The issue
is that I can't deploy the packages to production PCs in the Office subnet!
Firewall rules are configured and applied via GP, and I even turned Windows Firewall off, and still nothing! I tried to manually initiate Computer Policy download via the SCCM GUI and via a script, still no luck!
I tried configuring IP Subnet Boundaries, still no luck!!
Here are the last 2 lines in the LocationServices.log of a client PC at the Office Site:

Is there something wrong with the Distribution point on the Secondary Site server?

I fixed the issue with the default XXX00002 package - "Configuration Manager Client Package", it will not deploy to the Secondary Site DP. I did that through "Update Distribution Points" option, and after a while the status was 100%.
However; the second issue is still unsolved...

C drive keeps getting full for SCCM Server

I have a small issue with my SCCM server. The C drive keeps getting full in the sccm server I kept increasing and it just keeps getting maxed out. I have checked all the files and cannot seem to
find what the problem is. I have looked up in the web and everyone seems to have the same issue with their sccm servers as well do
you know any information on this or how to clean up the C drive? The Partition which holds the images and the distribution point is all good its just the C
drive which gets filled up. <o:p></o:p>

I found the following:
All things you have in the console with content (Applications, packages/programs, SUM deployment packages, OS Images, etc.) will make a copy of the source in the Content Library.
The Content Library is cleaned up as these items are removed from ConfigMgr.
Your options are to either delete unneeded objects from ConfigMgr with the console (which will remove their content from the Content Library), or to
move the Content Library to another drive with ContentLibraryTransfer.exe from the
Configuration Manager Toolkit.
Try this link which is discussing about your scenario.

[SOLVED] How to Patch Base OS WIMs in a non-SCCM Environment?

My new employer doesn't have SCCM but they're at least using MDT, even if it is 2010. We (System Engineers for servers; Desktop Engineers for workstations) have historically been using Windows Update to patch the machine in question, but that (a) requires
a bit of baby sitting, (b) takes ages and (c) is done every time a new server is stood up or new image is built.
Being one of the new guys, I've been asked if there's a way to automate the installation of OS updates for Windows 7 up to Server 2012 R2. My process has been to mount the WIM and apply as many updates as I can offline by pointing DISM to a directory
full of updates.
However, I've been in situations where updates break the WIM because dependencies weren't in place, namely .NET which can't be installed offline. And its such a hassle to go through that troubleshooting process narrow it down to the offending update
- augh!
Having said all that, I'm in need of some advice for how to handle
stock WIMs from stock Microsoft ISO's.
What process do you experts follow for getting that WIM fully up to date?
I'm talking all the [recommended] updates offered via Windows Update: from updates for Windows, IE, .NET; standard security updates to IE upgrades (e.g. from 9 to 9, 9 to 10, 10 to 11), MSXML updates, Silverlight etc..
Does update installation order matter?
Is it safe to point DISM to a directory of cabs for offline updates & let it rip or does it require a bit of structure?
I'm sort of doing a hybrid: Pulled down over 200 updates from the Microsoft update catalog, extracted the cabs into a centralized location & separated them into two groups, group 2 being updates that
seem to cause problems when done offline or can't be done offline due to a prerequisite. (Group 1 is bit more than 200 updates, Group 2 is about a dozen including 2685811, 2685813, 2533552, 2819745)
Can I assume that for updates like WMF 4.0, UMDF 1.11, KMFD 1.11, MSXML and straight upgrades like .NET 4.5, IE 10/11, you're laying down the OS, installing the pre-requisites, installing the updates - maybe even running Windows Updates, then capturing?
I'm just really curious as to how far off the mark I am, how I can automate as much of this as possible and of course doing it right! :)
Thanks

Although it is possible to install many updates offline, some just must be performed online, as you mention above.
My recommendation (and that of Niehaus, Arwidmark, Nystrom, Hunter, MCS, et. al.) is to create a MDT deployment share ( called the create share ) with task sequences for each image type. Install the OS, update the machine (via WSUS or Windows Update),
install your favorite applications, (UPdate again), and then Sysprep and Capture. All done within a Virtual Machine, preferably Hyper-V.
If you can automate all of your applications, then you can pretty much do the entire process with a single click.
I have a beefy i7-4771 with 32GB of ram, and *TWO* speedy SSD Drives. Imaging *8* machines in parallel takes about 4 hrs.
Keith Garner - Principal Consultant [owner] -
http://DeploymentLive.com
I need a moment to collect myself after reading your hardware.
Seriously though, I'm down with doing it with MDT in a VM because its the cleanest it can be at that point. My only concern were those 'gotchas':
Is DISM smart enough to know the proper installation order of the updates in that directory? If not do I have to run DISM multiple times (pointing it to the same collection of CABs) to make sure I got everything?
Is there a fairly comprehensive list of updates that should be handled with special care/attention?
Anything else I didn't think of.
I really appreciate your responses - thank you kindly for putting up with me Keith. :)

SCCM noob!

Hi,
I'd be grateful if someone could point me at a kind of "...For Dummies" intro to SCCM 2012 (preferably in video form).
We're investigating whether SC as a whole could replace our current asset management tool and add a few extras (like VMM for example). I've installed CM on a test server (stand alone site) and it's gone fine... but I can't actually get it to do
anything. I had a look on MVA but couldn't really see anything suitable.
I know SC will need a lot more planning than this to actually go live, but right at this second I could do with seeing some of the basics like... Remote Control, packages etc.
Many thanks,
Rhidian

Any advice on count when sum 0

Hi there
We would like to have 1 sql such that
count when sum of value in column > 0 . Problem is sum an aggregate function and also count.
As example imagine 2 customer records, one has a -ve value e.g -4 and 1 a positive value of +5 so sum of these values = +1. Such a customer we would like to include in the count and can't simply use having clause as we wish to include in report all sales reagrdless of whether > 0 but a separate count field to highlight the ones which are greater than 0
Current sql
select sum(value), cola..
from table
group by col1..
can't say
select count(case when sum(value) > 0 then distinct cust_id end)
as get ora-message about nested group by functions..
Anybody done such a thing before - would analytical functions work in this situation.
Many Thanks

Hi there,
Thanks very much for the replies.
One problem though, unfortunately the reporting tool we use is quite constrained and we can't implement the solutions proposed in it - they would have been preferable.
Example of data
table called transaction with all different types of transactions
Main fields, trans-code, cust_id, product_id, trans_qty, trans_date
Each row has a different trans code, e.g supply code, return code.
We wish to identify no of custs sold out. A customer could have several supply transaction records for the same product and potentially several different return transactions.
If the sum of all the supply transactions for a customer/product > 0 and the sum of all the credit transactions for a customer/product = 0 then we count this as a sell-out.
Is it possible to code this as an analytical function - if so how?
Many Thanks

a) Infospoke, Badi enhancements
b) New cube to caliculate abouve things and then infospoke
c) Query and useing RSCRM... tool to run the query to dump into .CSV
Thanks for your valuable time.

Another possibility is taking a snapshot to a transactional ODS using the APD. This creates an outbound layer that you can then use Open Hub to push out.

SCCM 2012 R2 not show Threat item in Malware Detected Report.

I had no "Malware detected" items fount.
There are no report abount virus that Endpoint Protection client finds.
I try to test be creating file with this test content: "X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*", my Endpoint Protection find this file, logging it in its journal, but SCCM not show this Theat.
My computer was discovered, Endpoint Protection was automatic installed, Antimalware Policies work fine...
....but in "Monitoring/Endpoint Protection Status/System Center 2012 R2 Endpoint Protection Status" my collection with my computer(this is test collection), show me: "Endpoint Protection agent
not yet installed: 1"
There are many collection with many devices, but no one give me report about "Malware Detected", but virus was found in our company.
SCCM 2012 R2 was upgrade from older version(i have not this information).
What log must i fount about this issue?
What cat i do to fix this problem?

SCEP client is installed by policy successfull.
Policy applied succesfull too.
but i guess that data do not copy from SCEP to SCCM
or data do not inserted in database.

SCCM Get Collection Member Fails "Failed to get members of collection. The SMS Provider reported an error"

Full Error is: "Failed to get members of collection '{Collection Name from "Initialize Data"}'.". The SMS Provider reported an error. Details: Generic failure
Orchestrator 2012 R2 7.2.84.0
Using Integration Pack 7.2 for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager
I have a Runbook that is setup to use Get Collection Members from SCCM. The fields are:
Collection: {Collection Name from "Initialize Data"}
Collection Value Type: Name
When I use the Runbook Tester (or when I try to run it myself) I get the error:
"Failed to get members of collection '{Collection Name from "Initialize Data"}'.". The SMS Provider reported an error. Details: Generic failure
I have tried using the Collection ID and I get the same error. From the Collection Property in Get Collection Members I can browse and see all the collections in SCCM, so I know the connection is working.
An example of a collection I am trying to use is this: SUM - Patch and Reboot Server - 3rd Sat 1AM . I have tried using it with quotes and single quotes as well and I get the same error.
The log file for SCCM looks like this when it fails:

SCCM 2012 - Network requirements for Client communication to primary in a Cross Forest Environment

Hello, I have been trying to get some definitive answers on what network traffic is required between a client and a primary site versus a secondary in a cross forest scenario.
Here is the scenario:
Company A has an existing SCCM 2012 primary Site. Company B (Separate Forest) has now been brought in. One subnet on each side can route to each other and using that one subnet a two way forest
trust has been setup. But the remote offices have IP address overlaps between companies. At some point in the future all assets on company B will be re-IP and brought over to Company A domain. But in the interim it would be nice to get SCCM cross forest clients
working. Upgrading to a CAS model with two Primaries would not be preferred here as this is a temporary solution.
My questions are as follows.
If a secondary site is deployed into Company B Forest/Network. I have seen people online elude to that clients will still need to communicate to the Primary located at Company A, even though they
are assigned to a secondary on Company B’s network. Is this true? Is there any workarounds for this? Is a NAT back to the primary acceptable, or is reverse lookup required?
Will the Primary need to communicate directly to the clients in Company B? If this is in fact a requirement, then this would be a show stopper. But if its only needed for things like client pushes,
then we could work around it.
Thanks

"But the remote offices have IP address overlaps between companies"
Technically, this is unsupported because clients, depending upon your boundaries, will not be able to find a local DP since they use IP addresses for this. The only way to work around this is to use AD Site boundaries.
"though they are assigned to a secondary"
Clients are *never* assigned to a secondary site -- that's not what secondary sites are for. Yes, clients require communication with an MP in the primary site where they are assigned. There is no way to change this or work-around this except to put
an MP from the primary site closer to those clients and use the new MP affinity option in R2 CU3.
Reverse lookups are only used to verify names by applications that wish to have this type of functionality (which are very few in number) and have nothing to do with true network traffic. NATing is an issue for the reason I gave above -- DP location.
Remote control, client push, and WoL won't work either because there is no way for the traffic to reach the destination behind the NAT.
All client *agent* communication in ConfigMgr is client initiated in ConfigMgr (remote control, client push, and WoL -- as just mentioned -- are sort of exceptions to this but they don't really involve the client *agent*.)

Setup of PXE boot for SCCM 2012

I have setup SCCM Server on a test network with IP 192.168.9.10. I have also setup a DC which is running AD, DNS and DHCP and its IP is 192.168.9.2
On what server do I install WDS and how do I configure WDS/DHCP to point SCCM 2012 to enable PXE boot

If the client is in the same subnet as the PXE enabled DP no further network configuration is necessary. If it isn't you have to configure
1. IP Helper on your switch/router to direct the request to the PXE enabled DP (preferred)
OR
2. Add DHCP Scope option to direct the request to the PXE enabled DP
See how to do it here

Shadow Instance Left Behind in SLD After Using SUM

Hello,
Is there a standard procedure for removing the SLD information left behind by the creation of shadow ABAP instances when using SUM to update or upgrade systems? Should SUM have some final step for this built in, or should the update instructions include a step to go into SLD and delete the shadow instance information manually?
My situation is as follows. I recently updated the support package stack for my Solution Manager 7.1 system from sps4 to sps12 using SUM (this was for a new installation of Solution Manager). Afterwards, I used SOLMAN_SETUP to perform the System Preparation and Basic Configuration steps, and now I have progressed to Managed System Configuration. The first managed system to configure is Solution Manager itself, and in working on the SolMan ABAP instance, in step 6, 'Enter Landscape Parameters,' I noticed that there is an extra ABAP instance, DVEBMGS03, showing up as a landscape object node. I was puzzled for a bit about this, as there is no instance 03 in my SolMan system, only 00, 01, and 02. Eventually I figured out that SOLMAN_SETUP gets this landscape information from the obvious place, LMDB, which in turn gets it from SLD, and sure enough in LMDB and SLD I can find the "AppServer 03" instance defined.
That's when the light bulb hit. SUM creates a shadow ABAP instance when updating the support package stack (unlike using SPAM), similar to as it does during an upgrade. It deletes the shadow instance at the end of the update, but in the meantime the system has synchronized itself to SLD, and now SLD has a definition for that shadow instance that doesn't go away when the instance is deleted.
It's easy enough to manually delete it in SLD, of course, but that leads me to wonder if there's a preferred option for handling this other than manual manipulation of SLD data.
The version of SUM I used was 1.0 sp11 pl9.
Regards,
Matt

That's right, although for a support pack update, I'm not sure if the jobs even get suspended. In the past, when doing this with SPAM, there was no shadow instance to worry about, so it wasn't an issue. In upgrades, when there typically is a shadow instance, things are much more "shut down" in the system (jobs suspended, etc) than is often the case with support pack updates (though perhaps those should be just as much "shut down").
So in future I will definitely keep an eye out for it. Stopping the data supplier should be added to the tool and/or listed as a manual step in the guide to prevent inconsistent landscape and software component data from being replicated (or perhaps it already is and I missed it). I'm going to tag Boris Rubarth to get his take on it, as he is a key player in the development and maintenance of the SUM tool.
Deleting the extra instance in SLD was very easy, and I watched it replicate to LMDB very quickly, and it immediately disappeared upon refresh from the managed system configuration tool. However, it later showed up in diagnostics agent administration, as well, as a warning about a system path not being reachable by the agent (it was trying to reach \usr\sap\SID\DVEBMGS03, which doesn't exist), and so I had to edit the agent landscape paths to remove that as well).
Although the problem is long since solved in my system, as described above, I will keep the question open for a few more hours to see what Boris or others may have to add.
Regards,
Matt
