SCCM 2012 Application and Packages Distribution

Hi Giants,
Its Great to work with SCCM 2012 with plenty of New Features.
Let me explain my requirement.
1. Office 2010 Professional Plus SP1 with 15 Language Packs included
-----MSP 1. Without Access
-----MSP 2. With Access
-----MSP 3. With Access and Retain Old Version Access
Now My Requirement.
1. We want to deploy Office with Access to "Collection 1" and Office without Access to "Collection 2"
2. If i create Office 2010 as a Application, i can create two deployment type with different command line, but i can select the deployment type while creating Deployment. [ There should of been a drop down option like Packages. :-( ]
3. If i create Office 2010 as a Package, i cannot use the detection method or requirement rules and even i cannot publish it to Application Catalog.
Now the Scenario.
1. I can create 2 application with same source with different command line and deploy to different collection, but if i update the content in the source package, i need to give a update content to both the applications.
2. Its not a big problem to give update content to both packages, but the problem is for 1st application if i give update content, sccm will find the difference and sent the changes to DP, and when i give update content to 2nd application the same process
happens and changes are transferred to DP.
Now the Problem
1. the effort involved in transferring the changes to DP becomes twice, which means 1 GB of changes will make 2 GB transfer to DP and when adding to Content Library, SCCM is smart enough to save 1 GB.
2. Is there any where we can avoid multiple transfer to DP which will eat the bandwidth.
3. Or is there a way to define which deployment type to used in Deployment.
4. Or is there a way to publish Packages to Application Catalog.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Torsten,
Thanks for the reply.
1. if i create a single application with two different Deployment type, that is two different command line, which requirement rules i can use to differentiate them, because there is no logical separation for these command lines.
i.e. DT1. Office with Access and DT2. Office without Access.
this separation is done only for the license and is it possible to create a requirement in a way that only if this specific device in a specific collection user "With Access" or "Without Access"
2. Yes, CM12 is smart enough to save disk space with content library, but that smartness is missing while transferring the content to DP, which mean increase in Bandwidth utilization.
3. Great, i was not aware that Classic Packages can be published to Software Catalog.
Thanks Again,
SithaYuvaraj.

SCCM 2012 application portal: config questions

Hi,
We have setup SCCM 2012 application portal correctly and it's working fine.
However some config questions:
-can we change the name of the configuration portal? Now its servername/CMApplicationCatalog ... what's not userfriendly.
We'd like it to be applicationportal.ourcompany.com. Howto achieve that?
-can we customize layout in a supported way (we could change html pages but after an upgrade of SCCM they would/could be erased)?
-how does flexera (adminstudio?) plugs in into this. I've read this entry
http://helpnet.installshield.com/appportal2014/Content/helplibrary/AP_CreatingCatItemSCCM.htm but what's the big picture here? Anybody using this? What are the advantages?

Jan Hoedt

We want to offer software center for overview of mandatory installs, application catalog for optional software.
On our companies portal, we can then set a link which directs to the application portal. User can then install optional software from there.
My current config works http://applicationportal.ourcompany.com/ goes to the sccm-server but not to the url below.
That would be http://applicationportal.ourcompany.com/CMApplicationCatalog/#/SoftwareLibrary/AppListPageView.xaml
how can I make sure the application portal shows up when this link is opened?
It sounds like you want to perform a URL rewrite?
http://www.iis.net/learn/extensions/url-rewrite-module/creating-rewrite-rules-for-the-url-rewrite-module
You should test this to see if it's what you want - I may have misunderstood your question.
Also, I wouldn't host this module on your AppCatalog server, I'd host the rewrite module elsewhere.

Clients getting Applications and Packages, but NOT Software Updates

I am trying to set up a new SCCM2012 installation and have come across a strange problem that I need help on.
We have a single primary site at one location with distribution points at several other locations. Clients at some of the locations (but not all) are able to get deployed applications and packages from their DP, but for some reason are not able to get Software
Updates from the same DP.
When I look in the LocationServices log, I can see it contact the DP when an application is available. The following appear in the log:
Current AD site of machine is XYZ
Calling back with the following distribution points
Distribution Point='https://<My DP>...,Locality='LOCAL',DPType='Server',Version='7958', etc.
Calling back with locations for location request {<CID>}
But otherwise, the LocationServices log is filled with:
Current AD site of machine is XYZ
Calling back with empty distribution points list
Current AD site of machine is XYZ
I don't understand how the machine is able to locate and work with the DP for Applications/Packages, but not for Software Updates. I'm thinking it must be something with the boundaries/boundary groups, but I have checked and everything seems to be fine,
and they are working for Apps/Packs.

The WindowsUpdate.log seems to indicate that it is talking with the MP:
**START** Agent: Finding updates [CallerId=CcmExec]
*Include potentialy superseded updates
*online=Yes;Ignor download priority=Yes
*Criteria="(DeploymentAction=* AND Type='Software') OR (DeploymentAction=* AND Type='Driver')"
*Search Scope={Machine}
+++++ PT: Synchronizing server updates +++++
+ ServiceId= {<CID>}, Server URL = <My MP with appropriate port>
Agent * Added update {<CID>}.202 to search result
* Found 289 updates and 77 categories in search; evaluated appl. rules of 2711 out of 4339 deployed entities
** END ** Agent:Finding updates [CallerID=CcmExec]
But there is no mention of my DP.

Wifi profiles SCCM 2012 R2 and Windows Intune

Hi All,
A quick question regarding SCCM 2012 R2 and the new Wifi Profiles feature...
Can anyone confirm if you need windows Intune combined with SCCM 2012 R2 to be able to deploy WIFI profiles to users devices i.e Windows 8.1, IOS and Android platforms? Microsoft documentation is not clear on this subject.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards PowerShell90

It not as straight forward as one would hope. I am running the latest version of SCCM 2012 R2 CU2 connected to my Windows Intune subscription. There are a lot of hickups. One is that the direct of management needs to be all or nothing. In other words you
either need to use Windows Intune solely to manage your devices or SCCM 2012 R2 (via connector). If the later then you must do everything from in SCCM 2012 R2. You cannot hybrid manage your devices as this will screw things up.
Android for some reason is left out on a lot of features. I would think that MS Devs would work hard on the market share that being Android, not iOS. Any way, accord to some official MS articles Android is supported, but others claim that not all features
are, these being the important ones like Email and Wi-Fi Profiles. They simply do not work.
I think MS is heading in the right direction but there is a lot of work that needs to be done before this is a competitive product. I could care less if connects to my SCCM 2012 R2 server or not. Here are few things that I sent o a MS Support Rep today that
need to be address.
1. Better response time when updating devices after enrollment (e.g. Name change).
2. The ability to locked down uninstalling Windows Intune from device.<o:p></o:p>
3. The ability to locked down certain features in the Windows Intune app on device (e.g. User can reset device with Windows Intune app, rename, etc...).<o:p></o:p>
4. Ability to rename device in either Windows Intune Admin Portal and/or SCCM 2-12 R2.<o:p></o:p>

App-V 5.0 Reporting Application and Package Information Not Available

I have SQL Reporting Services set up and Excel and am able to interrogate AppVReporting DB using both. The problem is the Application and Packaging DBs do not appear to be populating.
The Client information definitely is and I can see it is updating correctly as it is showing the PCs that have been upgraded to HF4. The other two are empty. The reports run fine just with no content in them.
There is nothing obvious in the Client-Reporting debug log on the client. If I manually do the Send- PS command I get a confirmation it has uploaded successfully. What I can't get is why one part of it appears to be updating correctly but not another but
there is no separation anywhere that would explain it.
I am guessing that it may be something to with a permission issue but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. The only other thing I think a little bit strange when looking through the client settings is Reporting is enabled when I check
in Powershell but if I go through regedit and look at the App-V 5.0 client reporting settings Reporting Enabled =0. May be a red herring but just thought I would include if it rings any bells for anyone.

Hello,
There is a stored procedure that processes the sent information. According to Microsoft it is scheduled to run at 00:00 everyday

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.

Are there any command line utilities(@client machine)/APIs to initate software installtion from SCCM 2012 application catalog?

I'm searching for any utilities / APIs available for SCCM 2012 Application catalog, to initiate a Application installation from a Script(From client machine). Got to know there Client programming is possible, but not able to get good examples. Please help

SCCM 2012 SP1 and MDT 2012 Task Sequence Templates, MDT File/Settings Packages

We're setting up SCCM 2012 integrated with MDT 2012 for our OSD. My main issue is finding actual reference material for the MDT task sequence templates when integrated with SCCM. The MDT documentation has a lot of information on variables and task sequences
outside of SCCM integration.
One thing I'd love to find information on is what's actually going on during an MDT Client Task Sequence template. I found this http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/645a77b2-5be6-431d-818c-57d24b1435cc/understanding-mdt-task-sequence?forum=configmgrosd but
it doesn't delve into the kind of detail I'm looking for. I can dig up information through the MDT reference material on some things, but I just can't find anything out there that actually walks you through an SCCM/MDT task sequence template. For instance,
under State Restore what is being referenced in Install Software with base variable name PACKAGES, vs Install Applications and base variable name COALESCED APPS. And, where are you supposed to put these applications? That's just a specific example, I'm hoping
to find some kind of walkthrough.
Two things I'm hazy on are the MDT packages. What exactly are the MDT Settings Package, and the MDT Files Package? What are they used for? What benefits do you get out of using them? And, how exactly do you use them? I know one of them has something to do
with customsettings.ini, but what's the point of using SCCM with MDT if you still have to muck around in the customsettings.ini file?
Either way, it seems like there are a lot of references to SCCM task sequences, and a lot of references to MDT task sequences. But, not together. Which is a bit annoying since the MDT-integrated task sequence templates are very obviously different than either
SCCM or MDT by itself. Any help would be appreciated, even just information on where to look. Maybe I'm just really bad at finding reference material for SCCM/MDT. Thanks.

When MDT integrated with SCCM, We need the following MDT components to be created:
MDT Boot image
MDT Toolkit Files
MDT Settings
The MDT boot image (for example) gives you extra abilities over the standard ConfigMgr boot image such as the ability to display a HTA Refer here:
http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/forum/98-frontends-and-web-services/
MDT Files once created, you will find UDIWizard_Config.Xml file in which you can start User driven Installation OSD using UDI designer.
Refer these links for better understanding:
http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/5131-using-sccm-2012-rc-in-a-lab-part-16-integrating-mdt-2012-rc1-with-configuration-manager-2012/
http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/5221-using-sccm-2012-rc-in-a-lab-part-17-using-mdt-2012-rc1-within-configuration-manager-2012/

Thanks, Prabha G
Thanks for the quick reply. But, what about the MDT Settings Package? Also, both have a pretty big folder structure for each package. Surely it does more than just provide a couple xml and ini files? I'm not looking for anyone to spoon-feed me the information,
but at least a pointer in the right direction for finding the reference material. It seems for SCCM/MDT integration you have to go all over the place finding scraps of information to put together.
Also, any info on the SCCM/MDT task sequence templates? Thanks.

SCCM 2012 Application Catalog shows ALL advertised to a user independant of the OS they are using

Within SCCM 2007 if a package was to be made available only to the following platforms, it would only show up on those platforms... If a user was using Win XP and had a package meant ONLY for Win7 advertised to them, they would not see it.... It seems as
though in CM12, if a user has advertisements meant for XP, Win7, 64 bit, etc... everything appears in teh application catalog. I also understand that the software center is meant for application publishing and not for regular packages as they were in 2007...
Is there a way to make the packages meant for XP to only appear in the users catalog and NOT show the Win 7 packages?
As we are in the middle of a Win 7 migration, we need to manage this without a lot of work within AD...

Hi,
In Configuration Manager 2012 packages and applications that are made available to users are always displayed in the Application Catalog, the platform requirement is not evaluated until the user actually tries to install the application then the requirements
are evaluated and the installation will not continue if there the requirements doesn't match the plattform.
Software Center will display all packages/programs and applications that are deployed as "available" to devices and not users. User targeted will always show up in the Application Catalog..

Jörgen

Sccm 2012 migration and MDT

In our current environment we have sccm 2007 and MDT 2013 separate to deploy workstation OS images. We have MDT just referencing SCCM package ID's (package path on the DP) to install applications during the build process.
We are currently migrating to SCCM 2012 and because the DP folder structure has changed now - i.e. 'SCCMContentLib' can we still use MDT separately and reference the 'DataLib' directory in MDT or is the best option to fully integrate MDT in SCCM?

Hi,
The following two blog could help you to understand SCCMContentLib structure.

SCCM 2012: Application deployment stuck on 'Waiting to install '

I am setting up many new machines in the last month. But sometimes, when installing applications after rolling out an image. The applications wont install and display the waiting to install message. This mostly last for 1-2 hours but sometimes ever longer.
None of the logs that I have checked seem to give any indication why it will not move forward. Any
thoughts on how to troubleshoot?
For what it's worth, we are setup with a standalone primary site with one distribution point installed. SCCM 2012 SP1.
Thanks in advance.

SCCM 2012 Client and Workstation Audio and Video Problems

SCCM 2012 SP1 environment.
We have pushed out the SCCM Client successfully to our systems - however we have found that on some computers the SCCM Client is causing an audio/video problem - specifically it appears to be with computers that connect monitors via DVI. As an example,
on my laptop (Dell e6420, Win7 x64) I have a docking station that connects my laptop to 2 external monitors. With the SCCM Client installed I cannot listen to music or watch videos - the result is an unusable choppiness/stuttering listening to music
and with a video the audio and video get out of sync. As well, my mouse no longer functions smoothly - it jumps around. This happens whether accessing content from a website or simply a local file on my computer. If I uninstall the SCCM client,
the issue goes away entirely. I have tried disabling the SMS and Remote control services but doing so does not resolve the issue, only a client uninstall. Note that this only happens when the laptop is on the docking station - with DVI - it doesn't
happen when the laptop is running without an external monitor or if plugged into an HDMI output device.
At first we believed this was limited to this model of laptop in our environment (Win8 or Win7 - both result in the same problem), but now we are hearing about "audio and video issues" on Dell 990 workstations as well. I believe these stations
have DVI connected monitors. Driver updates do not appear to resolve the issue.
Has anyone experienced this in their environment? Note that this happens on imaged workstations and workstations installed from a vanilla Windows 7 or 8 CD.

Try installing the client without Silverlight and see if it helps (this is only used for the Application Catalog).

SCCM 2012 Application Catalog Website Point role Status is critical

Hi team,
In a client's SCCM 2012 R2 environment there is a Critical Icon and Status against one of two Application Catalog Website point roles. Looking at the Component status, there are no errors and all the components show as green.
Trying to find any warnings or errors in the messages for the Site System role doesnt show any errors, and I tried to reset counts but this has not changed the status.
I am not sure where to go from here. The application catalog itself works and is up. All the services are running. I am unsure as to where this error status comes from or what it pertains to.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
Please check portlctl.log and awebsctl.log to see if there is any error.
You could also check the thread below.

SCCM 2012 application catalog items not showing up

I have an SCCM 2012 package which is being deployed to a device collection
The users are not seeing this package appear in the application catalog, nor is it appearing in the software centre
Can we no longer deploy (advertise) to device collections for the users to install when needed?

If it is not appearing in Software Center, then either the deployment policy has not been retrieved by the client, it is not in the target collection, or has been filtered out due to platform restrictions (or some other restriction like that). Or the client
is not able to communicate with the MP, which would be a cause of the first option (the policy has not been retrieved by the client). You'd need to check to ensure that all is working on that end.
