SCCM 2012 Application Requirement Check and Recheck Interval

Looking for any information regarding the frequency that a Required Application will retry to check it's requirements if it fails to pass
a requirement at a deadline previously.
For example, the latest version of Java 7 Update 55 works best if IE is not up and running on the target machine in order to
install successfully and silently. So we created a requirement using a WQL query to detect if IE is up and running, and if IE is running to NOT install Java. However,
everyone pretty much always has IE up so its going to be tough to capture a time when these systems (85% laptops) meet the criteria for installation. We thought that we could try to install at a logged off state, but these systems are always on the move
and rarely left logged off and up and running so thats not an great option. Since this Java install is a Required Application it will be subject to Application Enforcement cycle which will run every 7 days, but that isn't frequent enough for us in this
example.
Anyone had to deal with something like this yet? Our options look like we might have to prompt the user, or increase the frequency
of the app enforcement cycle.
Appreciate any insight.
Thanks

In this case you indeed completely depend on the Application Deployment Evaluation Cycle.
For something like this I would start look at something like that this:

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?

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.

HT1277 all of a sudden I am not able to send out mail. I have checked and rechecked my account information including incoming and outgoing server info.

all of a sudden I am not able to send out mail. I have checked and rechecked my account information including incoming and outgoing server info. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks

If you're having trouble sending mail, then either the SMTP (outbound) mail server settings — the server, the port, the user, the password, and whether SSL is in use or (unlikely) not — are incorrect, or the mail server is offline or has been reconfigured.
The SMTP (outbound) settings are in Preferences, but are buried rather deeply. Select Preferences > Accounts > select the account > switch the outgoing mail server (SMTP) to Edit SMTP Server List... and then select the SMTP server from the list, and verify that the settings are correct with your ISP, and that your username and password are correct.
The required settings vary by your particular mail ISP; you'll have to check with the ISP for the server and login details.
To test settings, select Window > Connection Doctor > then (when the tests fail) show the details, and (if you can't sort out what happened) sanitize the settings and post the output here.
Caveat: do not repeat password tests with the mail server, as various mail providers can be configured to assume these are a password brute-force attack, and lock out repeated login attempts.
Caveat: never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever not-at-all enter a password when Mail pops up a dialog box with the "OMG YOUR PASSWORD IS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE ENSURE YOU CANNOT LOG IN AGAIN!!!!!" dialog box. (I'm paraphrasing that error dialog box slightly.) The correct answer to that Mail.app password dialog box is almost always "cancel" button. Passwords stored in Keychain generally don't get lost or corrupted, and trying random passwords as that dialog box encourages just gets you locked out of various servers, and...

Can we assign 2 IPs for a SCCM 2012 primary site server and use 1 IP for communicating with its 2 DPs and 2nd one for communicating with its upper hierarchy CAS which is in a different .Domain

Hi,
Can we assign 2 IPs for a SCCM 2012 primary site server and use 1 Ip for communicating with its 2 DPs and 2nd one for communicating with its upper hierarchy CAS . ?
Scenario: We are building 1 SCCM 2012 primary site and 2 DPs in one domain . In future this will attach to a CAS server which is in different domain. Can we assign 2 IPs in Primary site server , one IP will use to communicate with its 2 DPs and second
IP for communicating with the CAS server which is in a different domain.?
Details:
1)Server : Windows 2012 R2 Std , VM environment .2) SCCM : SCCM 2012 R2 .3)SQL: SQL 2012 Std
Thanks
Rajesh Vasudevan

First, it's not possible. You cannot attach a primary site to an existing CAS.
Primary sites in 2012 are *not* the same as primary sites in 2007 and a CAS is 2012 is completely different from a central primary site in 2007.
CASes cannot manage clients. Also, primary sites are *not* used for delegation in 2012. As Torsten points out, multiple primary sites are used for scale-out (in terms of client count) only. Placing primary sites for different organizational units provides
no functional differences but does add complexity, latency, and additional failure points.
Thus, as the others have pointed out, your premise for doing this is completely incorrect. What are your actual business goals?
As for the IP Addressing, that depends upon your networking infrastructure. There is no way to configure ConfigMgr to use different interfaces for different types of traffic. You could potentially manipulate the routing tables in Windows but that's asking
for trouble IMO.

Can we recover SCCM 2012 R2 site Servers and SQL DB from hyper V or Vmware VM snapshot

Hi Folks
Can we recover SCCM 2012 R2 site Servers and SQL DB from hyper V or Vmware VM snapshot
if yes is there any challenges or any document available from Microsoft on Hyper V SCCM VM snapshot recovery.

I've made it work and it "should" work. However it's not the best practice method of site recovery. You should recover using a SQL restore.
See good example
http://anoopcnair.com/2012/07/01/sccm-configmgr-2012-primary-site-server-and-database-recovery-part-1/
Note that you should be using snapshots only on occasions when you are carrying out a risky operation. You can revert it the operation fails. It is not a substitute for a robust backup solution.

How to query requirements of an sccm 2012 application

Dear all
I have some problem to create an OSLanguage or Device_OSLanguage Requirement using powershell script
it seems that the value passed to the script is not assume by sccm because the record is not availble on the console
i tryed with 1033 , en-us and so on with no good result
(the script is running with OS, Space Disk...)
so i would like to query the requirement values attached to the existing applications to check it and to retry to use my script with correct i hope values.
cou'ld you help me to resolve this locked problem of my project.
Many thanks
François

Hi
The trick is to create a CustomCollection of ConstantValue, add each ConstantValue to this CustomCollection then add this CustomCollection to the Expression by using the Int64Array DataType.
I did it like this in VB .Net and I'm sure you can do the same in PowerShell:
Dim aobjOperand As CustomCollection(Of ExpressionBase) = New CustomCollection(Of ExpressionBase)
Dim objOperand As ExpressionBase = New GlobalSettingReference("GLOBAL", "OSLanguage", DataType.Int64Array, "OSLanguage_Setting_LogicalName", ConfigurationItemSettingSourceType.CIM)
aobjOperand.Add(objOperand)
Dim aobjLangues As CustomCollection(Of ConstantValue) = New CustomCollection(Of ConstantValue)
aobjLangues.Add(New ConstantValue(CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("fr").LCID.ToString, DataType.Int64))
aobjLangues.Add(New ConstantValue(CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("fr-BE").LCID.ToString, DataType.Int64))
aobjLangues.Add(New ConstantValue(CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("fr-CA").LCID.ToString, DataType.Int64))
aobjLangues.Add(New ConstantValue(CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("fr-FR").LCID.ToString, DataType.Int64))
aobjLangues.Add(New ConstantValue(CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("fr-LU").LCID.ToString, DataType.Int64))
aobjLangues.Add(New ConstantValue(CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("fr-MC").LCID.ToString, DataType.Int64))
aobjLangues.Add(New ConstantValue(CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("fr-CH").LCID.ToString, DataType.Int64))
objOperand = New ConstantValueList(aobjLangues, DataType.Int64Array)
aobjOperand.Add(objOperand)
Dim objExpression As Expression = New Expression(ExpressionOperator.OneOf, aobjOperand)
objRule = New Rule("Rule_" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString("D"),
NoncomplianceSeverity.None,
New Annotation("Langue du système d'exploitation", Nothing, Nothing, Nothing),

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 R2 Deployment assistance and guide lines required.

Hi All,
We have purchased the system center suit and planed to deploy the below products in our environment.
SCOM - Plan already made and architecture is ready with no issues
SCCM - In planning state.
We are planning to use the same SQL server for both SCOM and SCCM, Which is a SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 CU6. So the database engine service is available to host our database.
But the Business has said we need to deploy reporting on another machine which may be a SQL 2012 SP1.
What i want to know is does SCCM 2012 R2 support using different versions of SQL server for its features? As i see there is no documentation for this.
How ever MS has given the document for SCOM that it is not supported and we need to use the same version of SQL for all the features.
Also is SQL Express edition supported for other Primary sites if i use a licensed SQL in my CAS ?
Does any one have an idea on SCCM 2012 R2 for the above ?
Gautam.75801

Thank you very Grath.
Also my last and the remaining question is about the SQL Server version inter operability.
Does using different versions of SQL work in SCCM ? i.E I use DB Engine SQL 2008 R2 SP1 CU6 and if i use SQL 2012 R2 for reporting.
Will this work in SCCM ? As for SCOM MS has said this in there document that using different versions of SQL's for features is not supported.
So what is the case with SCCM is it the same or is it supported ?
As the Microsoft documents do not talk about this question.
The reason i asked is as the business does not have cost for Hardware for a SQL server and they are asking to use a SQL server in another domain for DB engine.
And another SQL server for reporting as the DB engine server does not have reporting.

SCCM 2012 R2 Prerequisite Check

Hello
I'm stuck with the installation of SCCM 2012 R2. I get stuck at the Prerequisite Check with the following errors:
1. SQL Server service running account
2. Required SQL Server Collation
3. SQL Server sysadmin rights
SQL 2012 SP1 is installed on the same Windows Server 2012 R2 server that I am trying to install the SCCM 2012 R2 on. I did not use the default instance name during the SQL 2012 SP1 setup and created a name myself. I have also applied SQL Server 2012 SP1
x64 CU9 before I proceeded with the SCCM 2012 R2 setup. I have put in credentials for a service account (Domain Admin) for the five SQL Services (SQL Server Analysis Services, SQL Server, SQL Server Reporting Services, SQL Server Agent, SQL Server Browser).
Is it okay if I use the same service account for all 5 services? I have also turned off firewall and disabled the Windows Firewall Service. Why am I getting error number 1?.
I chose "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" as server collation during SQL 2012 SP1 setup. If I go to Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and go to Server Properties, I can see Server Collation is "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS". Why am
I getting error number 2?
I have made the Service Account used for SQL Services, the account used to install SCCM 2012 R2 and also a local group on the same server which has the local computer account to "sysadmin" under Server Roles on Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
Why am I getting error number 3?
Can anyone help me out here please?

Hi,
if you setup a named instance, have to configure SQL Server to listen on an static TCP port. (instead dynamic TCP port)
In SQL Server Configuration Manager, expand SQL Server Network Configuration, and then click Protocols for <instance_name>.
Expand Protocols for <instance_name>, and then click TCP/IP.
Right-click TCP/IP,
and then click Properties
In the IP Addresses tab, under IPAll, set TCP Port (1433).

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 - 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*.)

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.

SCCM 2012 License requirements

Hi all
i'm little confused with SCCM 2012 licensing , :)
i have a environment with 700 users that require SCCM services. 650 client computers 50 servers. mainly required for software update service from SCCM.
i'm going to install single-primary site server (Physical) with SQL server co-hosted. SCCM client will be deployed to 650 client computers (win 7) and 50 servers (physical).
please tell me the licenses that required for this solution (how many system center standards and client ML/ server ML)
Asitha

Hi,
For the clients it is easy, 1 CAL per computer, they are included in both Core CAL and Enterprise CAL if you have that for your clients.
For the Site Server there is no cost, and SQL user Rights are included so as long as you use SQL Server Standard and only use it for System Center 2012 products no SQL Server License is required.
For the servers that you will manage it is more tricky, it is based on VM's per host .. cehck this link for details.

SCCM 2012 Application rollout timings

Just getting to grips with SCCM 2012, have a deployed Adobe Flash 13 to a bunch of users. How does SCCM handle this?
i.e.
Does it deploy straight away once a user logs on or is there other criterea taken into account?

The user has to become member of the collection (if he/she is not yet in it), the client has to retrieve policies (which happens on a scheduled basis, after login or when unlocking the PC). Then it depends on the way you created the deployment: available:
user has to start the installation using the application catalog. required: the application will be installed at the deadline.
