SCCM 2012 client activity BLANK

Many of our clients aren't talking with SCCM correctly for some reason. If I look at the devices they're all missing client activity, policy request, client check result, status message, management point, etc.. etc.. We have an enterprise of over
2000 machines and it seems like only about 200 are affected. I've looked at boundaries and everything looks good so I'm not sure where to begin. Help!

I have found on some of my sytems this is the result of an incorrect/invalid GUID. The following has worked for me;
* Uninstall the CCM client (or you can stop the CCMEXEC service)
* Rename c:\windows\SMSCFG.INI
* At a command prompt: certutil –delstore SMS SMS (this deletes the SCCM certificates)
* Reinstall the CCM cleint
Client will disappear from Configmgr but eventually (sometimes an hour or more) will show up correctly.

How to enable SCCM 2012 clients to get Windows Updates through SSL VPN

I would like my SCCM 2012 client laptops to get Windows Updates through SSL VPN.
I suppose I need to add VPN Subnet in my boundary and boundary group.
What other setting I need to enable?
At this moment, on the 'Software Update Point Component Properties' "Allow intranet-only client connections" radio button is active. Do I neeed to select "Allow both intranet and internet client connections" and Enable SSL communications
for the WSUS server?
or are there something else I need to check?

No, a VPN client is no different than a client connected internally as far as the network is concerned and as far as ConfigMgr is concerned there is no way to explicitly know any different. Internet clients literally are those that connect via the Internet
using IBCM.

SCCM 2012 Client - Powershell to Patch and Reboot

Powershell script to install all outstanding security patches and reboot server having sccm 2012 client.

If your clients are member of an Active Directory, you could also use a startup script to update the client.
Jason has a very popular script you can use:

SCCM 2012 clients in SCCM 2007 console

Hi
If a Windows 7 system has sccm 2012 client installed, will it get discovered in SCCm 2007 console.
Regards Sushain KApoor

If you enable AD discovery to this client, the client object will be discovered. Anyway, the SCCM 2012 clients cannot be managed by SCCM 2007. See below.
Configuration Manager also checks that you have assigned the Configuration Manager 2012 client to a site that supports the Configuration Manager client version. If you have used automatic site assignment and the client is assigned to a Configuration Manager
2007 site, the client automatically tries to find a Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2012 site. It first checks Active Directory Domain Services and if this is not successful (for example, the Active Directory schema is not extended or the computer
is a workgroup client), the client then checks for site information from its assigned management point. However, if the client was assigned with a specific site code and assigns to a Configuration Manager 2007 site, site assignment fails and you must manually
reassign the client to a Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2012 site.

Upgrading SMS 2003 client to SCCM 2012 clients

How can we upgrade the existing SMS 2003 client to SCCM 2012 client. We are planning to upgrade our existing sms 2003 environment to SCCM 2012. It will be a fresh installation and side by side. My question is ...
1 can we upgrade the existing client to new version? How?
2 can we have both clients on same system?
Want to know the best possible way....for doing this.
Appreciate your suggestions/help....
Ravi.

Ravi,
There is no upgrade path from 2003 to 2012. You can create a package in 2003 to uninstall and then install the 2012 client. There may be better ways to do this but at the moment that is what I have seen done in the past. The only other
solution I have dealt with was an OS refresh since the 2003 client most likely is running on XP systems?
Kris
I faced this situation, where we have old SMS2003 system with XP clients, and W7 migration is planned on 2012. Uninstallation of old ccmsetup is okay, but then offcourse all activity stops and new client is not installed within the same process. I put
everything on the same bat file, like ccmsetup.exe /uninstall and ccmsetup /mp:primarysiteserver... old client goes away, but then nothing happens.

SCCM 2012 Client delpoyment in SCCM 2007 Native world

Hi Team,
In my account I have SCCM 2007 running in Native mode.... we do not support internet based clients there..but work on HTTPS only. Now I have implemented SCCM 2012 R2 there and now testing the client migration so that I can upgrade the SCCM client agent from
2007 to 2012. In SCCM 2012 we have to support internet based clients and so the SCCM 2012 client which we need to install should be compatible on internet and intranet both
The plan is to use the existing SCCM 2007 infra to do that. Send the ccmsetup.exe ( of SCCM 2012 ) in a package to all the clients via SCCM 2007 Software Distribution and trigger SCCM 2012 installation.
Just to do a small test I did this :
1. Created a folder in C drive of a client machine and copied the ccmsetup.exe ( of SCCM 2012 ) in it.
2. Tried to trigger the installation with below mentioned commandlines..... but getting error as mentioned below.... Please help.
Command line used :
Here ABCD.contoso.org is the intranet MP and PQRS.dmzone.org is internet MP
CCMSetup.exe /UsePKICert /NoCRLCheck smsmp=ABCD.contoso.org ccmhostname=PQRS.dmzone.org smssitecode=ABC
CCMSetup.exe /UsePKICert /NoCRLCheck smsmp=ABCD.contoso.org smssitecode=ABC
CCMSetup.exe smsmp=ABCD.contoso.org smssitecode=ABC

SCCM 2012 R2: does the sccm server itself need a sccm 2012 client?

Hi,
The question is simple. Reason, I update my SCCM 2012 R2 forefront clients via automatic update rule. The server itself has also the forefront/SCEP client but no sccm client.
So I wonder if in general it 's a good idea to install the sccm 2012 client to the SCCM server itself.
J.
Jan Hoedt

Hi,
There is no document about installing the SCCM 2012 client to the SCCM server itself.
It's depends on whether you want to monitor the SCCM server.

interview project would be greatly appreciated if you have time.

SCCM 2012 Client was removed but SCCM console still showing the status as "Yes"

Hi,
In a VM, SCCM 2012 client agent was removed and the VM was reverted back to a clean machine. SCCM console still shows the status as "Yes" even after the client agent was removed. Heartbeat Discovery is set to run every 1 hour.
Please guide on this.
Regards, Lorin Davis

It's kind like a person dying (sorry to be a bit morbid) -- how does the phone company know the person died? The dead person certainly can't tell them and the phone company doesn't query every person it services and ask them "are you alive?"
Thus, someone else must notify them of the person's passing. This is no different than a client agent "dying" in ConfigMgr. A ConfigMgr site never initiates communication with clients and thus something else needs to tell the site that the client
agent is dead. You! Or, an automated process (as Torsten mentioned) that goes through automatically marks a client as "dead" that hasn't been heard from in x number of days.

Send SCCM 2012 client or re-send client to individual computer

We have a tech tools web portal and I need to add an item so techs can send the SCCM 2012 client to a machine. This will be used if they have to reinstall the client for some reason.
I had planned to use PowerShell and created the script only to find out that it requires too great a permissions role to connect to the SCCM drive so the cmdlets can be used.
I then thought I could just create a .CCR for a computer. But, the format for SCCM 2007 does not work for SCCM 2012.
Reasons we are approaching this in this manner are:
1) We want to install using the CURRENT client files. And, we don't want to copy those off to some other location and need to remember to update them when we update SCCM 2012.
2) We want the retry capability that comes with using .CCRs.
3) We want the "smartness" of the client install we have found. We have a distributed operation and doing the client install by an SCCM admin from the PowerShell script or via the right-click in the console allows SCCM to find the closest DP and
use client install files from a local source when available.
4) We have a LOT of desktop techs that we do not want having access to the SCCM console. There is just too high a learning curve. We want a simple tool.
One other thing to mention ... we cannot use the Generate CCR tool because we are not turning on client push (lots of valid reasons for this and some the SCCM admins don't think are valid, but the decision has been made for us :) )
Anyone have thoughts on how to have a simple tool to send the client install via script or .CCR?
Thanks in advance!

You can't turn client push off -- you can turn *auto*-client push off though. The Generate CCR tool does not depend upon *auto*-client push though so there's no reason you can't use it.
Here's a blog post on the changes in the CCR process:

Deploying SCCM 2012 Client over DirectAccess

I have not been able to successfully deploy the SCCM 2012 client to any DirectAccess clients when they are not connected to the internal network. I have migrated my collections from SCCM 2007 and all machines connected internally had no issues. I
have added the new SCCM server to the Infrastructure Servers configuration on the UAG and applied the Group Policy. In the CCM logs, I am seeing "the device %computername% does not exist on the network" although I can ping them. The client push
account is a local admin on the machines so I am at a loss as to why they can't connect. Could it be boundary related?

From successfully installation i typically see folders created in C:\Windows\CCM\* but in this particular case there are only a couple .tmp files and other misc. Where should i look next? I have tried ccmsetup.exe /uninstall and then ccmsetup.exe
/mp:<machine> SMSSITECODE=<code> /noservice and also with /service.
I have tried winmgmt /resetrepository
I have checked that BITS service is running.
What else should i look for?
thanks

Did someone able to find the root cause of it and able to it resolve it, i'm currently facing the same issue:
Error 1904. Module C:\Windows\CCM\DCMADQueryProvider.dll failed to register.
HRESULT -2147024703. Contact your support personnel"
This error is not
restricted to any 1 dll but it's random like DCMADQueryProvider.dll,
statusagent.dll, ccmcore.dll
•I'm getting this error while installing
SCCM 2012 client.
Steps i tried:
1.I did try manually registering
oringinally but when the client fails to install, it removes all the source
files including the ccmcore.dll. So, ccmcore.dll doesn't reside on the system
after failing to install the client or at least not that I can see.
2. I
have tried timing it just right so that my "regsvr32 ccmcore.dll" is run during
the install process while the file is in the CCM folder but that didnt work
either.
3. I had manually created the directory CCM\x64\ccmcore.dll and
copied the file from a working client and try to register but it gave me an
error " Failed to load .dll"
4. i have tried uninstalling the client from
ccmclean and tried to reinstall it but still it fails.
Currently not sure what is wrong with the client install, so still
investigating the issue, please help if someone was able to solve the issue.
There are some
articles out there which points to resolving this issue by registering
ATL.dll.
However, in this
case ATL.dll has been registered only 1 times using regsvr32.exe (system32 and
syswow64 folders).
Based on procmon :
HKCR\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{44EC053A-400F-11D0-9DCD-00A0C90391D3}\InprocServer32\
While installing, it was looking for ATL.DLL and found the location from
registry as "“%systemroot%\system32\atl.dll”

SCCM 2012 - Client Installed but No Software Center

Hi Everyone,
I've a strange problem on my Management Point.
The SCCM 2012 client is installed, but there isn't Software Center (on all other Server it has been installed).
I've tryied to install it manually & with the push installation , but no change.
when I try to push it to the server it has an error File C:\Windows\ccmsetup\{181D79D7-1115-4D96-8E9B-5833DF92FBB4}\client.msi installation failed. Error text: ExitCode: 1635
But when I try to install Manually Exit code is 0 (no error)
Cheers

Hi,
Have you checked the log files ccmsetup.log ,ccmsetup-ccmeval.log, client.msi.log and SoftwareCenterSystemTasks.log? Maybe it can give us some clues.

SCCM 2012 Client - missing client actions.

Hi,
I am having an issue with a SCCM 2012 client where I am only seeing the actions:
Machine Policy & Evaluation Cycle
User Policy & Evaluation Cycle.
I click on the Machine Policy Evaluation cycle and nothing happens.
What log file should I be checking to see if the other client actions are
downloaded?
Thanks,
Ward

Hi,
Any errors in these logs?

SCCM 2012 client installation

Hi all,
I am trying to deploy SCCM 2012 client to my office computers using client push installation wizard, however when I random check the log file on client computers, the wizard did not start at all. Anyone know why this happen?
Anyway I can trigger the installation wizard for the clients?
Regards,
Chungb

Hi Chungb,
Please install the FSP Role and mention the same.
Also are you able to access the SCCM Server share from the client machines ? Can you confirm that as well
