Recommended BITS default client settings?

I will be pushing out the SCCM 2012 R2 client to our client systems across our domain. One single SCCM server that is also acting as the DP for ~1500 clients.
I would like to get some feedback on what would be a prudent default BITS setting.
Our average package size is ~50MB in size and we have approximately 1500 Windows 7 clients connected to the SCCM server via a 1GB (best effort, not guaranteed) WAN connection. To avoid over saturating the connection I would like to keep the default setting
conservative during the business hours.
I realize every case is difference but given the above would a 1,024 Kbps be over the top? It would obviously be best if I have branch cache enabled on clients to take the load off of the WAN and the SCCM server.
How do you have your client setting configured?
Do you generally leave the above at default and control it by GPO?
Also, once you have configured the above and deployed the SCCM client can you control this setting via the SCCM console or only by GPO after deployed?
Thank you.

I concur with Ronnie here in general.
Ultimately, it comes down to how quickly do you want content to get to your clients, how saturated your WAN link already is, and what the ramifications of adding different amounts f load to that link are. We can't really answer any of those questions
-- only you can.
If you are concerned that you may add an unacceptable load to the link, then throttling BITS makes sense. To what level depends upon the factors listed above. If you want to be very conservative, start with something restrictive and gauge that against your
desire for content download responsiveness, how saturated the link really gets, and the impact of that saturation. Of course, do lots of base-lining along the way so that you have empirical data showing where the sweet spot is that maximizes the response per
your expectations while also minimizing the impact on the link.

What are the settings for the "Default Client Settings"?

What are the settings for the "Default Client Settings"? I changed them instead of creating a new policy and would like to fix that.

How to manually retrieve Default Client Settings again

I have a question about Default Client Settings in SCCM 2012.
In our Default Client Settings we've added two AD groups for Viewers of Remote Control and Remote Assistance (Administration>Client Settings>Default Client Settings>Properties>Remote Tools> Permitted viewers and then Set Viewers).
When I logon to a client computer and open Local User manager I can see these two AD groups added to the local group "ConfigMgr Remote Control Users".
For testing I removed one of the member groups that was added.
Now the question; How does the removed group come back to the client? I've ran all the Configuration Manager Actions on the client but this doesn't work. It doesn't add the member which I removed. I also waited 60 minutes to see if it would come back automatically,
but no. Of course I can manually add this group again, but that is not what I want.
Or is the local group for Remote Control only filled the first time the Configuration Manager Client is installed on a computer? Or maybe there is another mechanism which takes care of filling the Remote Control Users group?

Today I added a new AD group to "Viewers".
After that, I ran the machine policy retrieval on my client on which I previously removed a group. After I ran this, de ConfigMgr Remote Control Users group was filled again. This time with 3 AD groups. So the group I removed before was added again and my new
group was also added.
Conclusion; if I make a change to the Default Client Settings it will push all the settings again to a client. But if you make a change locally, like removing a group, SCCM won't update this group again. It seems it doesn't do a verify on local settings
unless something has changed in SCCM itself. Indeed it seems to imply a bug.

Client Settings

Hi,
I have a Default Client Settings and a Custom Device Client Settings.
Custom Device Client Settings is deployed only to a collection named "test" and default client setting is not deployed to any collections at all. I enabled hardware inventory in Custom Device Client Settings to see some reports regarding installed
Programs on computers which are in test collection. I was expecting to see computers only from test collection but I see computers which are not in test collection. If we dont deploy any client settings to a collection, do that collection get default client
settings?
Yavuz Selim Atmaca

Correct. Default Client Settings are by default applied to clients.

Client Settings and RBAC

When we first setup RBAC, we created a Departmental Admin role that could create, modify and delete...basically was given all of the permissions for the Client Settings class since the objects are securable via scope therefore Departmental
Admins could not modify or delete the Default Client Settings or any of the Custom Client Settings outside their scope. This was working for us for the last 6 months and now all of a sudden, those same Departmental Admins now have the ability to modify
the Default Client Settings rule but still not any custom client settings outside their scope and I can't figure out why? It's as if the scope for the Default Client Settings rule as changed and I have no idea on how to tell since the console
doesn't show any scope for the Default Settings? Any idea on how this might have happened or how to fix it?

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?
Within the CM12 R2 Toolkit, look at RBAview, this will help you understand what each user can or can’t do.

Deployment and client settings issue

I have a VDI collection that I no longer want SCCM to deliver deployments too. All deplyments are user targeted by WMI query for the relevant AD Group.
I would still like use SCCM for remote control and software metering. So I have configure the following settings for the client and targeted the VDI collection.
However when I log onto VDI deployments are still processed and applications are being installed when they shouldn’t.
Any thoughts?
Thank you
Nick

Just to add a comment, un-checking a page in the client settings doesn't mean you've disabled something, it just means that that specific client settings package has no setting for those options and targeted clients will receive the settings from elsewhere
(typically the default client settings package but that depends on what you all have set up) but even then, many settings have default settings on the clients themselves. This is very similar to Group Policy: not configured doesn't mean don't do anything,
it just means do the default.

PI 7.0 default client Implications

Hi all,
We have installed my production server PI 7.0 earlier and it is currently operating for some projects. But the problem is the client on which the production system working now is 001 (i.e default client). This we have just noticed that it is operating in client 001, so do we need to change this default client to some other custom client or is it right if we leave it as such.
What can be its implication?
Regards,
Nithiyanandam

Hi Pratheek,
S you are right. When we installed the client has been defaultly mapped with 001, But now we are just thinking whether it will have any implications on further activities.
Because it has been provided in SAP HELP as
Production preparation client (001)
The production preparation client is identical to the SAP Reference client, i.e. you cannot use this client in production processing either. The Customizing settings are made in this client. You Customize it into your test environment.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm32/helpdata/EN/7e/c8189452c511d182c50000e829fbfe/content.htm
Also I refered sap notes 1115280 & 940309 which shows the info as
The integration server is by default installed and configured in client 001. In most cases there is no need to change this and it is not recommended to do so. However, in some rare cases you might have to run your Integration Server client in another client than 001.
So how could it be valid, so do we need to change tht client from 001 to XXX as indicated or we can leave it as such as we are already runnung few transactions in it.

Nithiyanandam

Running in 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client installed

I have seen many postings on this issue but none of the suggested solutions have helped me.
I am running visual studio 2010 professional with SP1 on windows 7 64 bit machine. When I try to run a web service locally and call it with SoapUI, I get the following error message during OracleConnection.Open().
Attempt to load Oracle client libraries threw BadImageFormatException. This problem will occur when running in 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client components installed.
I have tried setting up the build configuration and the project settings to target 32 bit but that has not helped. I have also tried removing the reference to System.Data.OracleClient that shows being under Program Files (x86) and add a new reference to the dll under GAC_64. That too did not work.
I only have the 64 bit client installed on my machine.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you

1. Visual Studio any version is 32 bit ONLY irrespective of hardware or OS bits. So to DEVELOP with Oracle Client you MUST install 32 bit Oracle ODAC components. Task manager will show devenv.exe *32 (to confirm 32 bit Visual Studio application).
2. You can run your web application inside IIS/IIS Express in your PC which independently can be either 32bit or 64bit. If it is 64 bit, you MUST also install 64 bit Oracle ODAC components which means you'll have to install both 32bit and 64bit in your 64 bit Win7 running on 64bit hardware.
3. In Visual Studio if you compile with "AnyCPU" as target, the resultant binaries (Web/NonWeb) can be both 32bit or 64bit. So if target PC is "AnyCPU" or "x64", you MUST install Oracle ODAC 64 bit in the target OS if that target OS is 64bit. You don't have to install 32bit ODAC in the target PC.
4. One more catch to above scenario is the target OS could be 64bit simulated OS on a 32bit hardware. In such case you MUST install both 32bit and 64bit ODAC components.
So while you ask your network team to download ODP.NET/ODAC Components make sure you ask them to download both 32bit and 64bit. Total nearly 600MB.
Hope this helps many people out there.

What is the recommended number of clients per Mac server? Also what are some recommended specs when purchasing an Apple machine that will have Mac OS X server installed?

What is the recommended number of clients per Mac server? Also what are some recommended specs when purchasing an Apple machine that will have Mac OS X server installed? We have around 300 clients that need to be enroled on the Mac server. I want to know what is the recommended amount of clients a Mac server should contain. Also what are some recommended specs to make sure the server will flawlessly?

Hello cpreasbeck,
Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
I was able to find the following transition guide for Xserve that provides some workload guidance to determine performance when planning a server deployment.
Transition Guide Xserve
http://images.apple.com/xserve/pdf/L422277A_Xserve_Guide.pdf
On page 9, Performance there is a chart that provides maximum numbers of connected users for various activities such as file sharing, mail, web, calendar, directory services and Time Machine and the CPU used as a server (Xserve, Mac Pro, Mac Mini). This information is a bit dated as the referenced software is Snow Leopard Server (OS X 10.6), and the hardware is older also, but it should give you a general idea of what you might need to look for.

How to configure default parental settings for all users (10.7)?

Hello,
I've made a silent installation of iTunes using MSI files and it works well.
I need to enable parental controls and configure it. Users must be preventing of changing these settings.
At the end of the iTunes installation I automatically created registry keys :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls]
"AdminFlags"=dword:001b7ac5
"AdminMoviesLimit"=dword:000000c8
"AdminTVShowsLimit"=dword:000001f4
"AdminRatingSystemID"=dword:0000000b
"AdminGamesLimit"=dword:0000012c
According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2102 it is the procedure to set default parental settings for all users and to lock these settings.
When iTunes is first launched, parental settings are not set nor locked.
I use iTunes 64 bits on Windows 7 64 bits.
Where is the mistake?
Thanks in advance.

Change the default margin settings for the MS word!

Hi All,
BI Publisher version:latest 10.1.3.4
DB:10.2.0.4
Oracle Apps:12.0.6
OS:AIX
We are facing an issue of which description is as below:
RTF output is being uploaded through "XML Publisher" Responsibility.
3.1.9 Header and Footer Margin from Edge Not Preserved in RTF Output
This issue applies to Versions 10.1.3.3, 10.1.3.3.1, 10.1.3.3.2, 10.1.3.3.3, 10.1.3.4, and 10.1.3.4.1.
Microsoft Word provides a Page Setup option for specifying the margin for the headers and footers from the edge of the page. This option is available by choosing the File menu, then Page Setup, then the Margins tab, and the From edge box. This margin setting is not retained when the output format is RTF. The output is created with the default margin settings instead. The margin settings do work correctly for other output formats such as HTML, PDF, and Excel.
So, the "default setting" mentioned here is around 1/2 inch for MS Word which is getting added in the output, even if the margin in template is zero.
Expected output:
So what we need to do is -
1. Check the MS word installation on the application server
2. Change this default margin setting as top and bottom 0 on the server in the MS word page setup. (I can give you steps to do this in word if required)
We have tried setting this margin to 0 on client side and generating the output and it makes no difference, so it must be coming from the server.
We need to know how could we modify the settings and need to know te source and Check the MS word installation on the application server?
Could anyone please share such an issue faced before!
Thanks for your time!
Regards,

Hi All,
Moreover,
Our understanding about the RTF output is this -
When we generate an RTF report output from Oracle EBS, the word document that is generated is with the settings of MS word that is installed on application server.
This understanding could be wrong as we have never faced such situation before! We have come to this conclusion because the default settings that we do on client machine do not work.
And as per the documentation of BI publisher the RTF should always be generated with the default settings of MS word.
So what you could help us with is this -
1. See if the MS word application is installed on application server ( if you think this is not application server, but any other server then please check there!)
2. Change the default margin settings for the MS word.
Regards,

Client Settings Sharing the Same Priority

I have a dozen Client Settings and noticed that two of my Client Settings share the same priority (Priority 5) and one of them skips two priorities (10 & 11), see screenshot. Increasing or decreasing the priority
on these dose not seem to reset the priority number, i.e. if I decrease #9 it moves to #12 and #12 to #9 and the same if I increase #12. I was hoping increaseing #12 would reset it to #11 but that's not the case. The same goes for the two #5's,
they stay no mater what I do.
Anyone seen this? Any thoughts? I do not know if it is effecting anything and the 9/12 ones don't consern me as much as the two 5's do. I'm not sure which #5 has more priority then the other.

Hi,
I recommend you delete the Client Settings then recreate them.
Below is a workaround for your reference. You’d better call CSS first, as this workaround is not a supported configuration and not eligible for official support.
Connected to Database CM_XXX.
Run the following query :
select * from dbo.clientsettings
Take the Client agent setting's uniqueid
Run the following query :
Update dbo.ClientSettings set Priority=5
where UniqueID='{A38602E1-AEC1-43F9-B3E1-CF2155099D2E}'
Check the priority on the console now.

Push default printer settings from server - setprinter.exe ?

Hi,
I need to push out some new default printer settings (mono and duplex) for 300 printers across about 12 x 2003/2008 print servers. All of these devices are already mapped by around 2500 WinXP/7 users, so reconnecting the devices for everybody is not
an option, nor is redeploying via GPO. I've read the following thread, which appears to explain what I need to do:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverprint/thread/a0a9bb3f-db24-417d-9905-c310d068d3c6/
Firstly, I need the latest version of setprinter.exe, as the one I've got is date stamped April 2003, which I assume is the one that fails to work with devmode 9. Does anybody know where I can get this from?
Secondly, I think it says that the clients will periodically update themselves with the server's default settings. This is perfect, if correct. However, would anybody please be able to explain when these periodic updates take place?
Many thanks in advance !
Andy

Hi,
There is a tool named "setprinter.exe" tool in the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit.
Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit can be downloaded from the link below:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9D467A69-57FF-4AE7-96EE-B18C4790CFFD&displaylang=en
As far as I know, there is no Windows Server 2008 Resource Kit for download, some of the MS Press have some books include Windows® Server 2008 Security Resource Kit
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/book.aspx?ID=11841&locale=en-us
Windows Server® 2008 Resource Kit (bundle)
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/book.aspx?ID=10345&locale=en-us
You may find ll the entire RESOURCE KIT on CD attached with the book.
Windows Server 2008 R2
==================
No resource kit Tools & Support tools are available for 2008R2...everything is on the OS already
Secondly, I think it says that the clients will periodically update themselves with the server's default settings.
>> Do you mean group policy refresh? By default, computer Group Policy is updated in the background every 90 minutes, with a random offset of 0 to 30 minutes. In addition to background updates, Group Policy for the computer is always updated when the
system starts.
Hope this helps!

CTC DI all-in-one fails at Step: Upload Default ACL Settings

Hi,
i need your help.
I tried to install a NWDI on a SolMan (Rel. NW7.01 SP06).
I deployed the necessary SCAs (DI_CBS, DI_CMS and DI_DTR =7.01SP6).
At the next point I'd like to use the wizard for the initial setup (DI all-in-one) and here are my problem.
At the step "Upload Default ACL Settings" it aborts with the error: Not a valid URL: Unexpected character found [':' at position 7]
Here an an excerpt from the log:

I checked the default Users. The NWDI_ADM, NWDI_DEV and NWDI_CMS (The NWDI_CMS was manuel created) exists and have the expective roles/groups and actions (e.g. NWDI_ADM = Group NWDI.Administrator = Role NWDI.Administrator + Action LcrInstanceWriterAll)
I checked the log/protocol and the strange argument there is dtrUrl : http://:/dtr.
I think the wizard is missing the right hostname an port for the as java. I tried to execute the Wizard with FQDN, simple hostname, localhost and edited also the host-file (like in other threads proposed).
The check of the SLD-Connection in the SLD-DataSupplier in the VA are OK (the http-settings and CIMClient Test works fine).
I spent a lot of time at the VA and configtool to finde the possible key with the missing value for the host an port, However with no success.
So now im here and hope some of you can give me an advice.
Best regards
Denis

Hello Denis
I have checked the attached error together with our expert for the DI
configuration wizard and found that the problem is most liked caused
by some variables that are not properly set by the underlying
framework (CTC framework) due to problems with the data bindings.
To investigate the problem in more details it is important for us to
know how the engine was being setup. Can you please let us know if you
directly installed the engine or if you upgraded an existing
engine? In case of an upgrade can you please tell us
which SP had the engine before the upgrade?
So if you upgraded from an earlier SP this might explain
your problem and we would directly know in which area to look.
Unfortunately we cannot offer automatic configuration
after an upgrade case (see our central CTC note: 923359) exactly for
such reasons (besides of that CTC don't know the state after the
upgrade). Configstore does not offer to add new parameters only to
modify.
As workaound you can try to run DI template and everytime where it
stops, do the step manually and skip the not working step.
Thanks
Kenny

Changing default cursor settings

Hi,
I need to change the default cursor settings on an xy graph. Currently the cursor positions itself at the beginning of each data set. See attached. You should be able to see the cursor displayed in bright yellow. How do I change the default conditions for displaying the cursor at the beginning of each data set from say: 04:19:38 PM, 09/28/12, (as in the attached example) to say: 04:19:38 PM, 09/28/11. I just changed the two digit year - to keep it simple! Thank you. John

Hi John,
It sounds like you may not have your VI updating to show changes to controls when they are changed. I would recommend using an event structure in a while loop to poll for changes to the cursor and update them on the graph. I attached an example I wrote (opens in LabVIEW 2010 and more recent) to show you what I am talking about.
It is hard for me to understand what you are talking about with the small snippets of your code I am seeing. If you have further questions, please post an entire VI (or a smaller example VI that reproduces the issue) so it will be easier to help you.
