SCCM 2012 Distribution Communication issues

I need help to see as to why all of the sudden I have lost communication to all my DP, I can not copy any content to the DPs except one...sorry I have omitted all the names of the DPs.

Is there something specific about the one that is working? Is it the DP on the Primary Site Server? Has someone been tinkering around with the local administrators group on the others (perhaps trying to implement Restricted Groups)?
Have there been network changes - firewalls (including Windows local)??

SCCM 2012 Client Communication Issue with SCCM 2007

My Clients was installed SCCM 2007 client version but somehow those clients reporting to SCCM 2012 Server
Note : My SCCM 2007 Server still active mode . and the SCCM 2007 client IP boundaries was not added into SCCM 2012 server
But still communicating to SCCM 2012 , what is the root cause ?
Best Regard's Krishna

Either, during the client installation the client was manually assigned to the ConfigMgr 2012 site (by specifying the site code), or during the client installation the client was auto assigned to the ConfigMgr 2012 site (that can only happen when there
is an overlap in the boundaries and that doesn't have to be the same type of boundary).

SCCM 2012 Distribution Point Issue

Dear Team,
Hi, we deploy another Distribution point on other server on same subnet/LAN. but it show errors and progress run daily but not successful.

Hi, did have some issues before when installing remote distribution points. More about that can be found here:
http://henkhoogendoorn.blogspot.nl/2014/07/installing-remote-distribution-point.html
It mentions: I did choose "Install and configure II if required by Configuration Manager" during installation, but IIS was installed already on servers. I did install BITS on servers also, because this seems to be needed (installation can be failing
otherwise). Strange thing, because BITS is no prerequisite at all? What I did NOT however is installing RDC as a prerequisite. Therefore files couldn't be replicated after all.
The issue described above where you can only add 2 roles is not known to me. Maybe server must be restarted or prerequisites are not in place? Like to hear the answer as well..

Internet Information Services (IIS) becomes Disabled automatically on SCCM 2012 Distribution Points

Hi !
Internet Information Services (IIS) is getting Disabled automatically on all of our SCCM 2012 Distribution Points.
Please help and share configuration steps.
Thank you.

This is not anything ConfigMgr is doing. The cases I've seen similar to this have had a GPO responsible for this behavior from which the site systems needed to be excluded.

That's not something ConfigMgr does. Examine eventlog and see if there are GPOs or whatever is disabling it.

SCCM 2012 R2 ADR issue with proxy authentication

Hi,
We're migrating SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 R2.
In SCCM 2007, the proxy server is configured with user authentication, and this works.
In SCCM 2012 R2, the Software Update Point is installed locally and connected with a local WSUS 4.0 (Server 2012)
We use a proxy with user authentication for Update Deployment. (This user is the same as configured in SCCM 2007.)
The Proxy Server is Blue Coat SG.
The proxy account is used for:
The Synchronization works, but Automatic Deployment Rule (ADR) doesn't work.
When an Automatic Deployment Rule is started, it tries to authenticate 3 times.
The Patchdownloader.log shows:

It seems that the ADR uses a wrong password when authenticating with the proxy, but this same user works when synchronizing with WSUS.
We performed the following actions with no result:
run the ADR manually and automatic,
reinstalled WSUS and SUP,
changed proxy user account.
Regards,
Matthias

Currently, the command shows:
Current WinHTTP proxy settings:
    Direct access (no proxy server).
We've been testing with:
upddwnldcfg.exe /s:<proxyserver>:<port> /u:<user> /allusers
psexec -i -s iexplore.exe, set Internet Explorer proxy manually
All with same result, proxy user getting locked when ADR runs.
(These settings have been removed after the test.)
I think dekac99 would suggest netsh winhttp set proxy or import proxy.
then turn off proxy use on the role SUP (this way not SCCM will send auth but all winhttp will use proxy)
the problems with that for me are:
- if MS implemented role-based proxy usage, why set at http layer - of course this might work as a workaround for the time being so it might be a good idea but I'm just not sure what unwanted issues it may cause
- the other thing is where I'm not sure, with set proxy you cannot define authentication account. if you use import from IE and the IE prompted for proxy auth, the stored credential will be used on winhttp layer (though I'm not 100% sure of that) - so this
is just too uncontrolled for me
- upddwnldcfg.exe will need to run in the name of system account (it stores credentials under HKCU so far I know it will be a per user based setting)
--> what confuses me, the catalog synch works which should use the same configured proxy and account(?), only ADR does not work. shouldn't they both use the same process for sending account auth info?

SCCM 2012 Distribution Point without IIS

Hello. My environment is SCCM 2012 SP1. I need to set up distribution points on several Windows Server 2003 machines. These machines have certain security requirements. One of which is no IIS. In SCCM 2007, I was able to create DPs without installing IIS.
This prevented the use of BITS extensions but was acceptable. I cannot seemed to do the same with SCCM 2012.
As a test, I performed three steps to test a DP without IIS on a Windows Server 2003 machine 1) Made the primary server a local administrator on the Windows Server 2003 machine, 2) Installed RDC using the msrdcoob_x86.exe file, 3) in the admin console, I
created a new site system server with the distribution point role. I did not check allow it to install IIS to install/configure during the setup. The distribution point reports a successful installation status but I get three errors when I try to distribute
a package. The first error message is Failed to create virtual directory on the defined share or volume of the distribution point. The second error is Distribution Manager failed to connect the the distribution point. The third error is Distribution Manager
failed to process package "Package Name". I know that installing IIS with BITS extensions and WebDav support would fix this problem. However, I would like to use the DP without IIS like I did in SCCM 2007.
Looking at the supported configurations, I see the below. This leads me to below that it is possible. Does anyone know if this is possible? If so, what I am missing in my steps.
With System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, the distribution point site system role does not require Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS). When BITS is configured on the distribution point computer, BITS on the distribution
point computer is not used to facilitate the download of content by clients that use BITS

BITS is a client side technology and has nothing to do with the server side of a DP or IIS and thus is irrelevant.
WebDAV was built into the relevant components of ConfigMgr obviating the need for the Windows Server WebDAV component so that's not needed for 2012 at all and thus N/A.
Ultimately, no, this is not possible. IIS is required on a DP in ConfigMgr 2012. This is clearly listed at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682077.aspx#BKMK_SiteSystemRolePrereqs.

SCCM 2012 distribution

Hi Team,
In SCCM 2012 we can select more than one package and distribute to distribution point or content share. My question is
When I select 20 package and distribute to 20 distribution point
How many job is start to sent and how many for waiting/inprogress.
I well know it will not sent all the 20 package jobs to distribution point. may be five will start rest of then wait/progress..
May I know exact count

Depends on the configuration of the Software Distribution Component. On the
General tab you can configure the Content distribution settings. These settings determine how many packages are processed at the same time.

QUERY TO FIND FREE DISKSPACE IN SCCM 2012 DISTRIBUTION POINT

this is the query to get free disk space on distribution point ,but this is not working for sccm 2012 ,please help
Select
Distinct
SD
.Name0,
SR
.RoleName,
LD
.DeviceID0,
LD
.FreeSpace0
* 100
/ LD.Size0
'Free Disk Space'
From
v_R_System SD
Join
v_Gs_Logical_Disk LD on SD.ResourceId
= LD.ResourceId
Join
v_SystemResourceList SR on SD.Netbios_Name0
= SR.ServerName
Where
LD.DriveType0
= 3
and
SR.RoleName
=
'SMS Distribution Point'
ankith

you're probably getting 0 rows...
v_SystemResourceList.ServerName contains the netbios+domain name, while v_Gs_Logical_Disk.Netbios_Name0 only contains the netbios name (no domain), therefore the join doesn't find any matching rows...
You need to trim the domain name from the field {LEFT(SRL.ServerName,CHARINDEX('.', SRL.ServerName)-1)}
try this query instead:
SELECT DISTINCT
SYS.Name0 As 'Device'
,SRL.RoleName As 'Role'
,LD.DeviceID0 As 'Disk',LD.FreeSpace0,LD.Size0
,LD.FreeSpace0 * 100 / LD.Size0 As 'Free Disk Space'
FROM
v_R_System As SYS
Join v_Gs_Logical_Disk As LD on SYS.ResourceId = LD.ResourceId
Join v_SystemResourceList As SRL on SYS.Netbios_Name0 = LEFT(SRL.ServerName,CHARINDEX('.', SRL.ServerName)-1)
WHERE
LD.DriveType0 = 3
And SRL.RoleName = 'SMS Distribution Point'
Additionally, if you notice that the LD.FreeSpace0 field returns NULL, you need to enable the hardware Inventory collection of this information [ client settings > hardware inventory > Logical Disk (SMS_LogicalDisk) > Free Space (MB) ]... Then initiate
the hardware Inventory cycle action and it should show results...
I don't have this field inventoried, so I cannot confirm the accuracy of the query...

SCCM 2012 Distribution Point server in a workgroup as well as the clients

HI,
It is possible to have a distribution point set up by SCCM 2012 R2 which resides in a workgroup to manage workgroup users.
Basically, SCCM 2012 R2 is setup within a domain and a forest, The clients in the workgroup resides in a DMZ. The server in the DMZ is also within the workgroup.
For some reasons, at this time, it is not possible to add the server to the Active Directory to push it the distribution point role and therefore managing thoses clients within the workgroup.
Is there a way to set up the distribution point role to a server in a workgroup?
Thank you
E

SCCM 2012 distribution point install failes with faild to verify disk drive

I am trying to install remote distribution point on new Windows Server 2012 standard but getting failures. here is the code:
Failed to find a valid drive on the distribution point
Failed to install DP files on the remote DP. Error code = 15
I can created files and folder manually on the server fine on the drive specified during the deployment wizard. I need to know what process SCCM 2012 goes through to verify a disk drive for usage as a remote distribution point

Hi,
Did you ever get this fixed?
In my case, it's a physical server with a 2x 500GB in RAID1.
Server OS is 2012. SCCM Version is 2012 SP1 cu2
The disk has been partitioned into 2 logical drives: C-Drive and D-drive
The distmgr.log states:
failed to find a valid drive on the Distribution Point
Failed to install DP Files on the remote DP. Error Code = 15
Drive D: is not valid. Error = 15
Do you have any ideas of how SCCM evaluates drives to be correct?
I've ran a WMI Query and the partition shows as a Local Hard Disk.
Do you have any more ideas what I can check?
Thanks!
Filip

SCCM 2012 Network Discovery Issue

Dear Team,
I want to discover my client less devices (routers, switches, & printers) in SCCM 2012 R2 via SNMP or Subnet Mask, we don't have DHCP in environment. How do I discover this client less devices what are the settings require on SCCM server & on
client less devices (routers, switches, & printers)

The subnet information can be retrieved from a device specified on the SNMP Devices tab or you need to configure the subnet manually in Subnet tab, then Network Discovery will query the network devices.

SCCM 2012 Client Communication

Hellooo,
Migrated my clients to SCCM 2012 but still reporting to SCCM 2007 Server only .
Why so ?
Note : MY SCCM 2007 Server still active mode only . Am sure
Best Regard's Krishna

A ConfigMgr 2012 client can't communicate with a ConfigMgr 2007 site. The client will show active for a couple of day's, but you should already notice that the last communications were not very recent (see the times of the latest policy refreshes and the
latest heartbeats).

SCCM 2012 Distribution Point in workgroup

I am trying to install a SCCM 2012 SP1 DP on a Windows 2008 workgroup server.
Some parts are working but during installation I get errors....
The question is: is it supported what I am trying to do, a workgroup (not part of a domain) server using as DP in SCCM 2012 SP1 ?

Distribution Points must be domain members

You can manage workgroup clients though.
