Prestaged OSD using SCCM 2012 SP1 windows Partition variable is not being set

Hello All I need some assistance with a workaround.
I am using a presaged task sequence created from a working network / PXE deployment TS for windows 7.
This TS sets a variable for the OS partition called "Windows" and the value is set in the Partition Disk task.
Problem is this value is not being read from a prestaged due to the OEMMedia condition skipping this partition and format task.
Question is how do I get it to read and or set the value for that partition?
From what I have found on Google this was an issue in beta of MDT but was fixed in RTM. I am not using MDT TS but I do have it installed. Any idea if this is a known issue with SCCM 2012 sp1 TS?
Edit: also noticed that the variable's case is different and will not let me change it.
Variable under format is "windows" variable under Apply OS is "Windows" when I change them to be the same then close and reopen they revert back to the above. Are these variables case sensitive?
Edit: for now I have changed it from variable to next available partition. I tested it twice so far it seems to be using the correct partition and it remains to be called the C drive. For now this will be my solution.

When you say "presaged task sequence created from a working network / PXE deployment TS" are you saying this is still a network boot process? Or have you done "Create Task Sequence Media"?

yes when i say prestaged that is using the create task sequence media then selecting prestaged.

How to configure SNMP on all managed client using SCCM 2012 SP1

hi ,
do you know How to configure SNMP on all managed client using SCCM 2012 SP1?

As a side note, I made an interesting discovery last week: the SNMP Service is deprecated in Windows Server 2012. Why would you want to use SNMP on an actual Windows OS though? There are far better ways available to monitor Windows. I'm sure that lines
up with why they deprecated it.

Deploy Java Updates using SCCM 2012 SP1 and SCUP 2011

What is the best way to deploy Java updates using sccm 2012 SP1 and SCUP 2011?

I didn´t find Kent´s blog useful when talking about Java. I can deploy Adobe products fine, but I have to import Java manually because not having Shavlik certificate. So with that said, I have the fallowing problem;
I have full offline installer unpacked, .msi file and Data1.cab. When I´m importing these binaries to SCUP, I only can point to .msi. Doing that, installation fails in client side fails because of lack of data1.cab fine, which is the main file.
Should I use some other downloaded files of Java? I couldn´t find any Java-update-file only type of files to download.

SCCM 2012 SP1 - OS Deployment - hash could not be matched for the downloded content

I've got a newly deployed SCCM 2012 SP1 running on Windows Server 2012. The W2K12 runs as vm on ESX 5.1. I'm having very odd issues with OS deployment. The TS keeps failing when processing SCCM client installation - it downloads the package but then it fails
straight away with the 80091007 - hash values couldn't be matched error - some extract from smsts.log attached below. It's very consistent, it happens every time - it downloads and applies the image fine straight after that it bombs out.
What is very interesting is that it works perfectly fine when I deploy vms (on the same or different host) - the issue seems to be be only affecting physical machines (laptops desktops). This might suggest some network issues (vSwitch with Cisco switches) but
the config on the switch is very simple and this shouldn't be the case.
I had a few virtualised SCCM 2007 installations (ESX 5 and 4) and it always worked with no problems.
I tried to recreate the package (changing source directory), turn binary differential replication on and off, copy the content of the package to the dist point or not copy. Push client installation (or other package deployments) work fine
When I tried to deploy with no download - sometimes it works but most of the time I'd get the files/folder corrupt error (can't remember the No)
This is starting to drive me crazy - There are some significant changes in the way SCCM 2012 is validating package integrity (like Content Lib folder) but the consistency of this problem is just very odd.
Anyone has any clues?
thanks

How to Deploy exe application using SCCM 2012 SP1

Hi,
While creating deployment type wizard (for exe application deployment) , i am not able to see the "Windows Installer (native)" option in the drop down menu. Kindly refer snapshot. If i select "script installer" , deployment is not working.
I am taking it for adobe reader 9.1 exe application. Can anyone please suggest which option should i take.
Regards
Manish

I believe the thinking was that most people wrap their .exe in an .msi anyway, so that would have been way more common.
Really?
That seems bizarre to me. I guess, if this thinking occurred, it might have been based on the idea that lots of people are using Group Policy Software Installation (Intellimirror), since GPSI does a less-horrible job when you use MSI.
But, a lot of software I've seen, uses a setup.exe bootstrapper to launch one or more MSI's.
So, MSI wraps EXE wraps MSI would be the outcome of this thinking.
Which is why I chose the word... bizarre.

SUP in untrusted forest using SCCM 2012 SP1

Hi, I have a single primary site in a single domain/AD forest. I also have a single site system in an untrusted forest behind a firewall.
I have installed a DP and an MP onto this server in the untrusted forest and have now installed WSUS and added the SUP role. The SUP role has been installed, however the SUP in the untrusted forest isnt synching its catalog from the SUP in the primary
site.
In the Software Update Point Synchronisation Status, its source is specified as Microsoft Update, rather than the name of the Priamry Site server with the SUP role.
The relevant ports 80/443/8530/8531 are open between the two forests, but it doesnt appear to attempt to sync from the primary site.
How do I get this SUP to sync from the Primary site? I've tried setting a WSUS Server Connection Account, but this doesnt appear to make any difference.
Thanks for your help.
Carl

I had to remove the use of the proxy server at the primary SUP so that it downloads directly from the internet without the use of a proxy.
As soon as this was removed the untrusted SUP synchronised successfully. Even though the proxy isnt specified in the SUP properties of the untrusted site system, it still appears to use this when performing a sync.

[SCCM 2012 R2] Windows Update Agent do not scan correctly thus SCCM has bad reports

Hi All,
My colleagues reported that after manual download and installation of update Office 2010 SP2 ... SCCM still do not report as Installed:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2687455
KB2687455 update on SCCM is reported as:
Update ID: 9c5e43a3-3ae9-434d-b105-a9d7902d5f9f
Update Title: Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2687455) 32-Bit Edition
Test Computer:
After investigation I found out that Windows Update Agent (verbose logging) is reporting that this update is really not installed: Agent Update {9C5E43A3-3AE9-434D-B105-A9D7902D5F9F} is deployed for scan, and is installable. It will be reported
as installable.
Update KB2687455 is shown in Programs and Features/Installed Updates as installed on this computer.
Question:
This update is MSP (not standard update) so it cannot be queried by win32_quickfixengineering WMI class. How to query all installed updates on system (registry, API, ...)?
How WUA query ALL installed updates?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
You could check the version number. The version number of Office 2010 SP2 is greater than or equal to
14.0.7015.1000.
The script in the blog below could get List of installed Windows / office Updates.
http://www.blackforce.co.uk/2013/01/27/get-list-of-installed-windows-office-updates-command-line
The sample in the following article can be used to determine if a critical security update is installed on a computer. If the update isn't installed, the user can ensure that the update is downloaded and installed. The user can also ensure that
they are notified about the status of the installation.

SCOM 2012 SP1 - Windows operating system is not monitored in a SCOM agent

Hi All,
I have an agent with windows 2012 operating system that i am trying to monitor.
At the "Windows computers" view the "Windows operating system" column is empty ("Agent" column is Healthy).
Why SCOM doesn't recognized that the agent have operating system?
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,
On workgroup servers, you have to make sure you've used the momcertimport tool to import the certificate into the SCOM service.
In addition, I would like to suggest you go through the below article to monitor non-domain servers with SCOM:

Deployed Windows 7 Image failing to start -SCCM 2012 SP1

Hello, I am deploying windows 7 image using SCCM 2012 SP1, the installation goes thru fine but when it is in the process of restart, a blue screen is displayed for a split second and then it tries to reboot again with same results. Are there any logs on
the SCCM server I can check to see where the problem may be?

This generally means inaccessible boot device. How are you partitioning the drive and applying the image?
This is one way to do it

SCCM 2012 SP1 SUP on Windows Server 2012

Hi sccm guys,
I'm having Troubles to get the SUP role working on my Windows Server 2012. I'm using SCCM 2012 SP1. I installed (and did not configure) the WSUS role from the Server Manager. I Chose to install the DB on the local SQL instance (no WID instance).
Then I added the SUP role to the Server and configured it with the seperate wsus Administration site (Ports 8530 and 8531).
WSUS gets configured partially (Proxy Settings and "Products and Classification" Options only for Office and Windows)
The folowing error pops up in the wcm.log
Failed to set Subscriptions on the WSUS Server. Error:(-2147467259)Unspecified error
Any clues?
Cheers

SCCM 2012 SP1 errors when downloading updates

Currently using SCCM 2012 SP1 with CU2 and I am having some update download issue with Automatic Deployment Rules.
The Environment is:
Server 2008 R2
SCCM 2012 SP1 CU2 (Upgraded from SCCM 2012 CU2)
I created an Automatic Deployment Rule for Adobe Flash. Since I was having the same issue with Adobe Reader, when I published via SCUP to WSUS I chose not to sign the updates.
After publishing to WSUS I then sync SCCM, I see the updates and then in the ADR I had it download the updates and I see this error:
Authentication of file C:\Windows\TEMP\CABDEC5.tmp failed, error 0x800b0004 Software Updates Patch Downloader 8/15/2013 6:49:43 PM 3712 (0x0E80)
ERROR: DownloadContentFiles() failed with hr=0x80073633 Software Updates Patch Downloader 8/15/2013 6:49:43 PM 6876 (0x1ADC)
Failed to download the update from internet. Error = 13875 SMS_RULE_ENGINE 8/15/2013 6:49:43 PM 6876 (0x1ADC)

Now the funny thing is if I go to the update itself within update group that Flash is a member I can right click it and choose download and the error doesn't occur.
I observed that the UNC path for ADR Adobe flash, when the rule is ran, is populated with folders that have a name something like 44738297895427890.1 or 423154325378u867234789.1. I have come to realize that those are failed downloads. So for the
heck of it I then right clicked the update itself and chose download and it downloaded without issue. Now I'm guessing that when I chose to download directly from the update maybe the system is getting the update from adobe and not from wherever the rule was
trying to get it from. I then see the .1 removed from the directory name and there are updates within them.
Just for clarity here are the steps I go through from SCUP to Syncing...
Log in to WSUS server
Run SCUP as administrator
Get notified there are updates from Adobe and let SCUP download updates
Find the updates the specify the following publishing options
Full Content
Sign all software updates with a new publishing certificate .... (Is this necessary by the way?)
Then click Next
After that's done I then go to SCCM Manager Console and go to Software Updates and right click to Synchronize them.
After that's done then I run the ADR for Adobe Flash and when it goes to download the updates that's when the error occurs.
What am I missing?
Also, while I wait for help I just recently added the WSUS SCUP certificate to the SCCM server to see if by chance that fixes stuff. If it does then I'll post the results of adding the certificate to the SCCM server.
One other thing, is there a way to delete updates? When I was having this issue in the past, I went in to SCUP I marked the updates as expired and then deleted the updates. Went to SCCM and synchronized the updates and they went from not expired to expired
then I waited, maybe 30 days or so before I could add the updates back in.
Thanks for the help!

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?

Can I have an SCCM 2012 R2 server and a SCCM 2012 SP1 server in the same site?

We are currently using SCCM 2012 SP1/MDT 2012 Update 1 to deploy Windows 7, and to migrate existing XP installs to Windows 7 (using the offline USMT functionality in MDT). We are moving forward with Windows 8.1, and understand that
we need to upgrade our SCCM infrastructure to SCCM 2012 R2/MDT 2013. We also understand that this will cause us to lose the ability to migrate XP machines, since MDT 2013 uses a newer version of USMT that doesn’t support XP.
What do we need to do to continue to support our XP migrations, and enable deployments of Windows 8.1?
Can we have two SCCM servers in the same Site running different versions of SCCM? Do we need a separate site?

You don't explicitly need ConfigMgr 2012 R2 to support Win 8.1. SP1 CU3 will suffice although managing a few things like boot images is a little more difficult: http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/10/21/how-to-enable-windows-8.1-deployment-in-sc-2012-configmgr-sp1-cu3.aspx
You could create two separate site hierarchies, but that would be painful and involve tons of duplication. There would be other issues also if the systems are located on the same subnets and in the same AD forest.
The best option is to get rid of XP. EOL is in less than 30 days!
Next best is to stay on SP1 CU3 until you get rid of XP. I know that sucks, but keeping XP around is the root cause of this and many other coming issues in any organization wanting to keep it around.

SCCM 2012 SP1 + WSUS + Server 2012 + SQL Server 2012

Hi all;
I installed SCCM 2012 with Sp1 for my site server and everything is going well.. And than i installed the WSUS role on my Windows Server 2012 and SCCM 2012 SP1 it gave an error message which is "Fatal Error: The schema version of the database is from a newer
version of WSUS than currently installed. You must either patch your WSUS server to at least that version or drop the database." My database server is SQL Server 2012... Do you know any pathc for WSUS or SQL Server 2012 doesnt support WSUS yet???
Thank You...

Normally if you are going to install SCCM 2012 SP1 +Windows 2012 with SQL 2012, Then you better use the SQL 2012 sp1.
also when you are installing the WSUS version 6.2 which come with server 2012 make sure you leave the default settings as it is. it shows in the below article.
also when you are giving the path to save the WSUS contents make sure the drive you going to create the wsus folder and the place where you going to download the updates is having free disk space and its formatted with the NTFS volume. Also the service account
you are using for this configuration should have the admin rights to the location of the wsus folder you going to create,
Thanks

SCCM 2012 SP1 - How many servers do I need?

I'm planning a SCCM test environment using SCCM 2012 SP1 with the goal of using DCIP 3.1. DCIP 3.1 only supports up to SCCM 2012 SP1. I'm new to SCCM and I'm planning to follow Kevin Holman's ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 -QuickStart deployment Guide (Sorry, I can't
post links on the forum yet.)
I'm using a virtual environment to build this out so I can create more machines as needed.
In the guide two systems are used, DB3 and CM1 each with designated services. Could those services be safely installed on one machine instead of two? Why choose to split the SQL and Database Services, from the Primary Site Server, Management Server, and Web
Console Server?
Thank you!

For a lab and most small(ish) production sites you can get away with 1 server.
