Question about Client Push Installation configuration

Hello,
I am trying to configure client push installation. Can you please tell me what is needed for the field "Network Share"? I see sample examples listing <server name>\admin$ or server\share. My admin share on my server
is c:\windows. Is there a directory that is needed here such as the client software? If so, I see a directory under C:\program files\Microsoft configuration manager\client. Please advise on the next step. Thanks for any help.

Are you talking about this?
This is optional. You don't need to use this at all. It's just to verify that the account details you have entered are valid (ie test connection).
Note that your client push installation account has to be local administrator on all devices on which you want to install a client.

SCCM Client Push installation comms/ports

Hi all,
I've done a bit of reading of articles/resources and I'm not quite clear on communication requirements. I read that ICMP ping is required in addition to various TCP ports for client push installation. Our setup is a hub and spoke design with firewalls which
we don't administer between premises (convenient how 'site' is a key word in SCCM grrr) :)
I thought we would be able to have Distribution Points/Management Points on remote premises and have the clients on those premises do all necessary communication with the local server in their same subnet in order to deploy the SCCM client and report status.
Do I require ping etc through to the main server before it will use the local Distribution Point to deploy and report via the local Management Point?
We have a few clients manually installed at a couple of remote premises which are reporting but can't push the client and we have many clients at our central premises which have had client push installation and reported back successfully - presumably because
they are in the same subnet with no firewalls between.
I also have a couple of manually installed clients at remote premises which are not reporting client activity but I'll look into that further once the main client push feature is working.
Thanks for any clarification, I'm building my SCCM knowledge!

Hi Gerry,
Thanks for your response and the resources on your blog.
I have looked at the link but I'm still not clear on instances (if any) where direct communication is required between the client and the primary site server.
Should clients be expected to be able to communicate only with their local distribution point/management point which is in the same subnet if they are firewalled from the primary site server as I have? How does SCCM know to have a remote distribution point
do the communication to a client that is local to it without knowing the IP address? My servers have exceptions setup between them but the clients are fairly restricted to their own premises.
My boundaries are configured per AD Site but unless SCCM checks DNS for IP address would it be able to determine the AD Site to have the nearest DP/MP handle all the client interaction?
My query about ICMP was based on this link https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682180.aspx which says:
"In addition to the ports listed in the following table, client push installation also uses Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request messages from the site server to the client computer to confirm whether the client computer is available on
the network."
Edit: I see Jason has partly answered my question above - I spent too long typing this post :)
Thanks

Best practise for installing patches for SCCM Client 2012 (Both x86 and x64)) - OSD and Client Push Installation

Hi All,
What is best practice for automatic installing of SCCM 2012 client Patches
(using Patch switch) during installation of SCCM 2012 clients? The challenge is that now there are two versions of clients and updates (x86 and x64).
I need information for:
OSD
Client Push Installation
Thank you in advance.
Regards,

Not everything that can be or is supported or not supported is documented (or ever can be):
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/jj643252.aspx
Your expectation here needs to be adjusted. No one recommended contacting support. William just mentioned that *if* you have an issue and needed to contact support, they may decline to help you because you've done something explicitly unsupported.
For clientpatch, here's the specific documentation noting it as unsupported:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2009/04/08/automatically-applying-hotfixes-to-the-configuration-manager-2007-client-during-installation.aspx
Additionally, I've also been in contact with the sustained engineering folks responsible for the CUs and they've reinforced the statement.
What can happen? Who knows? Microsoft does not test against unsupported configurations and features -- that's the definition of unsupported. It's not tested so no one really knows. They did find a couple of explicit issues (outlined in that post above) so
know that at least those exist and probably more since it is, as mentioned, abandoned code.
Why does it matter what can happen though? If the folks who write and support the code tell you shouldn't do it, you are simply asking for problems by doing it. Ultimately, you're asking a question that has no defined answer (except "bad"/unsupported things)
that really doesn't matter if you follow the explicit guidance. If you don't, as William points out, that's a risk for you take and an answer for you to discover.

How to change my client push installation version

I have one primary site server. I have updated it to 5.00.7958.1401 and this is the version shown if i check "about system center configuration manager".
When i push the client to machines by right clicking and choosing "install client"...SCCM installs client version 5.00.7958.1000.
How can I change it so my client push installs the CU3 version 1401?
Thanks

If you were to mess with the files in the client folder of the site server's installation path, you would place your self in an unsupported state, though this is simple...
how about using the PATCH parameter for ccmsetup.exe? You could configure it in the Client Push Installation / Installation Properties tab...

SCCM Client Push Installation Wizard does not install the client. CCMSetup folder - not created

Hello,
I have tried running the Client Push wizard for a single computer or a pilot collection of 8 computers, the result is always
the same - no SCCM client is installed on any computer.
The computers are running 32-bit Windows XP SP2.
The Windows firewall is disabled.
The client push installation account is setup and have domain admin and local admin privileges. Client Push automatic method
is not enabled.
The domain is AD WIndows 2000.
The SCCM server is running Windows 2003 R2 SP2 64bit Standard.
The AD schema has been extended.
MP, and SLP are installed and published. (MP is published in DNS as well.)
FSP is installed.
MP, SLP and FSP are running on the same server.
SQL 2005 server is running locally.
System management container is created and all rights and permissions delegated.
With the Push installation account I can access C$ share on the client computer from the SCCM server.
RPC, Remote registry, WMI services are running on the client machines.
All prerequisites are installed from the client folder on SCCM server- latest BITS 2.5, Windows installer 3.1 and MSXML6.
All computers are in the same IP subnet which is listed in the boundaries.
Yet, the client is not being installed.
No CCMSetup folder is created on the client machines in Windows\System32 folder, so it is really difficult to troubleshoot
what the is the issue. I do not see anything helpful in the ccm.log on the server.
I have tried running the CCMSetup.exe manually on one of the workstations and that was successful and reported back to the
SCCM server / console.
What else I should check / try? I really want to push agents via the wizard.
Thank you,
Peter

Hi Wally,
I have changed 2 things:
1. Enabed automatic push installation (so I am not usign the wizard any more)
2. Changed the IP subnet to IP ranges in the site boundairies.
After runnignt the discovery, I was able to see some activities in the ccm.log. A ccmsetup folder is now created but the agent is still not instaleld. Here is the ccmsetup.log

Enable Automatic site-wide client push installation

Hi,
We are configuring sccm 2012 next to sccm 2007. We want to push SCCM 2007 clients automatically to pc's in a certain OU. Can this be done via "Enable Automatic site-wide client push installation".
So will it deploy to only the discovered devices in this OU we configured to discover or really install site wide (probably not but need to be sure)?
J.
Jan Hoedt

Automatic client push will initiate a push to all devices that are discovered (where client = 0) and that are assigned to the site (-> boundaries).

Sccm client push installation problem

in my company 22000 users and install sccm 2012(1 primary site in main dc and 4 site system server in branch )
i enable automatic site-wide client push installation . only sccm client installed in 11000 computers during 7 month and increment installation it very slowly 2-10 per month
how i install svvm client in another computers automaticly
please help me

Yes. You can also manually create boundaries. Each client must fall under a boundary (eg IP Subnet, IP Range, AD site). You need to check that all are covered. Boundaries have to be added to boundary groups which are configured for site assignment.

Automatic client push installation not working

I created one secondary server and replication with CAS is active. Boundary also configured and enabled automatic client push installation.
Daily i am checking some machines, but agents are not getting installing automatically . But manual client installation is working fine without any issue. Anyone can help on this to find outwhy automatic clients push installation is not running on client
machines

Which site code is showing, for your secondary or for your primary?
If secondary, then as Joyce pointed out, you need to check ccm.log on the secondary site server needs to be checked because that's where the client will be pushed from.

Sccm 2012 client push installation error 120 & 1350

what i can do to resolve this problem a lot of client push installation skipped and get error 120 & 1305

Hi Alaa,
The problem is when you initiated your client push for these clients you forgot to force it.
The machines you are trying to deploy to already have a CCM client or a failed/corrupt installation.
You must re-initiate the client push install for the failing machines, and remember to tick off the
'Always Install the client software' option. This repairs failed/corrupt installations also.
The error code 120 tells you this way:
120 - Mobile client on the target machine has the same version, and 'forced' flag is not turned on. Not processing this CCR ,target machine already have cm client and no force install selected(always install).
1305 - is just that the client push cannot detect which version that is already installed.
All the best, Jesper Hassing - MCTS SCCM 2012 - MCSA 2012 Server - MCP

Firewall Ports directions for Client Push Installation

Hello,
i take offer a running SCCM 2012 R2 Client Management but there is no Client Push implemented.
So i will now use Client Push and we open the Ports 135 and 445 now i have one Question to use RPC Dynamic Ports,
they are only from Server -to-> Client or both direction?
I read a lot of them but nobody wrote about the directions, my problem is that our SCCM 2012 is installed in a management network and the connect to the clients are controlled with a Firewall and now for a change i must known the direction to change it.
The Port description from MS i read often but not very helpful with direction. :)
with best regards
André

To add-on to Torsten. It is also possible to restrict your dynamic RPC ports, as explained at articles like these:

Follow me on twitter: pvanderwoude
Have you ever successfully done this? I tried once early in CM07 and it didnt' work. Submitted my findings to MS and a reference from the CM docs to the article you posted was removed from the CM docs.

Question about ERMS push

Hi Guru,
I am prototyping the ERMS push solution in CRM7 and have some questions about the solution SAP help provided.
Below is the detail about ERMS push:
Here the e-mail is first handled by the e-mail pull mechanism: it is converted into a
SAPoffice mail and analyzed by ERMS to find out more details about the mail (like language and certain keywords).
Then the mail (including the additional information from the ERMS analysis) is transferred to the
CMS (Communication Management Software). The CMS determines the appropriate agent team and
dispatches the mail via the push process to an available agent of that team.
Below is the sap help link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/EN/0e/6a22b86821468691bd5abb51dfd81e/content.htm
I have below questions about the solution in the help link:
1. It mentioned about the email profile (set the agent inbox as email provider) and I changed the u201Cdefaultu201D profile delivered by sap. I setup the rule policy according to the help and assigned it in the service manager profile. The purpose of ERMS push is to push email to CMS instead of sending to agent inbox using ERMS. Which business role should this email profile be assigned to? Is it IC_agent?
2. The help also mentioned about setup u201CERMS_ACTIONu201D as communication system ID in CRMM_BCB_ADM. Does this ID need to be added in the CMS profile? If so, which business role should this CMS profile be assigned to? Is it IC_Agent?
3. The ERMS uses workflow WS00200001. After the email is pushed to CMS, what status should the workflow be, in progress or complete? Also does it suppose to have agent assigned in the workflow task?
4. After the CMS pushes the email back to CRM, it will be a pop up for agent to accept or reject. Will it create an interaction record once the agent clicks the accept?
It would be great if you could shed some light on this.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Zhijie,
Let me see if I can help address some of your questions.
1) It doesn't matter which business role you use. You can copy IC_AGENT for example. The important thing is, as Mariusz mentions in this thread, [ERMS email push: problem with CAD and transfer;,your E-Mail profile must be set for E-Mail Provider = 2 (Agent Inbox).
2) No, this ID itself does not need to be added to any business role (as I assume it is hardcoded in the SAP workflow as Mariusz mentions).
3) From what I remember, the ERMS Push emails are not set to complete by the system, and therefore can still get inadvertantly routed to agents! I recommend to have a second rule in your Rule Modeler policy to route the ERMS Push emails to a special, separate queue where you can close them out easily without worrying about them getting assigned to any agents!
4) Yes, the email will arrive like a phone call with the accept/reject buttons flashing (though it will show as an email, not a phone call). And yes, when the agent accepts an Interaction Record will be created by the system automatically.
I hope this helps you!
Regards,
John

Client Push Installation

Does the site wide automatic client push just try one time to install the client? If it fails, does it retry?

Agree with Michael. No, it won't retry automatic if the deploy agent failed until to rerun it from pending management.

Question about Windows repair installation

Hello,
I have searched through the forum, but am still a little confused as to the use of expert recovery mode on my Toshiba recovery CD.
I cannot boot Windows at all. I haven't backed up any of my data (foolish!).
I currently have a single partition.
Is it possible to create a second partition using expert recovery mode, and re-load Windows to that. Would this only format one partition, allowing me to subsequently retrieve files from the first partition?
Or will this format the whole drive, load Windows, and then create the partitions?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Fitz.

Hello Fitz
Expert mode allows you to do two things:
1. Install OS on already persisting partition (if the HDD has already two of them)
2. Create own partition (in this case the whole content will be erased)
Please try to boot up using SAFE mode (press F60). If this doesnt help you can do the follow to save your data:
1. Connect the HDD to other PC as external device (using USB HDD box)
the HDD should be recognized automatically and you can copy all your data to other PC HDD
2. You can try to use Partition Magic tool. Start it using external FDD and create two partitions. After doing this start your notebook with start disk and try to copy all the data to second partition.
Detailed explanation about expert mode installation and how to create own partition you can find under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=4462&messageID=14518
