SCCM 2012: howto switch from available to mandatory deploy?

Hi,
If we have some software we need to deploy, we always deploy (package) it as available at first, so testers can check whenever it suits them.
When ok, we push the same install mandatory to a collection. Here we want to prevent a reinstall from happening but the mandatory instal also triggers an install for the already installed pc's.
In SCCM 2007 we could change the available install to mandatory, in SCCM 2012 the deploy option is greyed out.
Please advise howto have the same functionality in SCCM 2012.

You can't change the deployment behavior once the deployment is created.
Creating a new deployment should not be a problem, not even with old-school package. That's because the combination of the package id and the program name are used to be determine if a program is installed (and not the deployment itself).

Loading the SCCM 2012 R2 Cmdlets from within a module

Hi together,
In the following article was described how to load the Powershell Module for SCCM 2012:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/03/27/powershell-connecting-to-configuration-manager.aspx
I've taken the code to build a function to load the Powershell Module which works fine when i directly integrate it in my scripts.
Currently i build a Module called SCCM-HelperFunctions.psm1 and the above mentioned function is one which i want to integrate, i named it "Import-Cmdlets". The Import of my Module works fine, the function "Import-Cmdlets" is available
trough IntelliSense and the command ends with no errors in the context of the given Site (ex. "PS CM1:\") but when i try to use SCCM Cmdlets the Command is not found.
I've checked if the Module was loaded successfully but it isn't. Following is the function included in the Module:
Function Import-SCCMCmdlets {
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Lädt die SCCM Cmdlets und wechselt in den Kontext der angegebenen Site.
.DESCRIPTION
Die Funktion Import-SCCMCmdlets lädt die Powershell Cmdlets und wechselt in den PSDrive Kontext des angegebenen Sitecodes.

.EXAMPLE
$SiteCode = "P01"
Import-SCCMCmdlets -SiteCode $SiteCode
#>

[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
$SiteCode
$null = Import-Module ($env:SMS_ADMIN_UI_PATH.Substring(0,$env:SMS_ADMIN_UI_PATH.Length – 5) + '\ConfigurationManager.psd1')
Set-Location "$($SiteCode):" | Out-Null
if (-not (Get-PSDrive -Name $SiteCode))
Throw "Beim Versuch das Powershell Modul zu laden und auf das PSDrive $Sitecode zu wechseln trat ein Fehler auf."
The exact same function works when i copy it to the ISE and run it.
Does anyone have any ideas and can point me into the right direction? (eventually different workspaces when the function runs from within the module or something like that?)
Best regards
Rolf

Getting "Error: 0x80070654" when trying to install SCCM 2012 R2 Console from Software Center

What I did:
Created a Package Source share on the Site Server
Gave the Package Source Share the following Share permissions: SCCM Admins: Full Control, Domain Computers: Full Control, Local Admins: Full Control.
Copied the "Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\tools\ConsoleSetup" folder to my package source (Since the Package Source is actually on the site server, I just copied the ConsoleSetup folder to it that is on the same drive)
Created a package and a Standard Program
Command line: ConsoleSetup.exe
I deploy it to my collection
Run Machine Policy and Reevaluation on my Right Click Tools
Go to one of my clients and open up Software Center and click the Install button
It fails with ""Error: 0x80070654"
I open up execmgr.log on the client using CMTrace and I use the error lookup tool and it shows that the 0x80070654 error is "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer
package"
I also see a red highlighted line in the execmgr.log file with the following entry: "Script for Package:PRI00013, Program: SCCM 2012 R2 Management Console failed with exit code 2147944020"
I can run ConsoleSetup.exe using a command line to the package source.

Cool, mate it is then.
Yeah it either changed or there is a typo.
I re-created everything and I still get that same 0x80070654 error.
This is really frustrating

SCCM 2012: import objects from AD/manually

Hi,
We have an SCCM 2007 environment in which we want to update the sccm clients to SCCM 2012, then managing within new SCCM 2012 environment/installing a new OS to it. AD discovery happens and also an import of pc’s was done (mac).
We have duplicate entries: one with automatic discovered objects of AD, one with manually imported items.
Both should merge to 1 object. Just to see if we're doing this right. If we deploy a task sequence, we should deploy it to the manually imported object, since that one contains the mac-address, right?

Jan Hoedt

You can try to change the setting on "CAS" (if you've one) or "stand alone Primary" level from “Automatically resolve conflicting records” to “Manually resolve conflicting records” and implement a Status Filter Rule, that automatically
merges duplicate records.
There are scripts around to fix the conflict issue.
I don't know whether you wanted to fix the duplicate record issue or you're more concerned about finding the correct/working object. When you've a duplicate objects then I don't think it would be very easy get things worked.

Sccm 2012 create report from recently installed software on clients

SCCM 2012 R2 update from 2012 in VM on SDC and secodary DNS server

Hi there,
I'm currently running SCCM2012 (not R2) on a secondary domain controller and secondary DNS Server. Bought a license for this in 2013. Would like better separation from above functions and deploy R2 version. Two questions:
1) Is it recommended to install SCCM R2 in a VM on a machine running above applications?
2) Do I need a new license to go from SCCM 2012 to SCCM 2012 R2?
Thank you for an answer, Marcel

Actually, for #2, that's not true. ConfigMgr 2012 and ConfigMgr 2012 R2 are separate SKUs and require their own licensing. Just because you have ConfigMgr 2012 does not entitle you to 2012 R2. It depends upon how you licensed it in the first place. If
you have Software Assurance (SA), then yes, your current licensing applies. You should check with your LAR or call the Microsoft licensing helpdesk to figure out if you are licensed for R2.

SCCM 2012 - Missing device from custom collections

Hi to all,
I have installed SCCM 2012 SP1.
I have created some custom devices collections to group different servers based on roles.
When I add a computer manually (Direct Membership) to a custom collection it doesn`t show in the SCCM Console for a long time, even if I re-open the console or click on Update Membership\Refresh. I can see the computer on the Membership Rules tab of the
Collection immediately.
Also I have noticed this strange behaviou ons collections with query membership.
Usually, this happens after I have installed the SCCM client.
Obviously, the device exists on SCCM: I can find it on "All Systems" collection.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Regards
Daniele

Hello,
Have you looked at the Collection Evaluator queue?
If you have a large number of Collections, or many Collections that are set to a quite frequent update frequence, this will cause new additions to a Collection to be queued up.
By connecting to the site, using CEviewer, you should be able to quickly determine whether or not this is the cause of your issue.

SCCM 2012 OSD; Not finding driver package during deployment

I've been having some trouble setting up my OSD deployment using SCCM 2012 and hope someone can point me in the right direction. Specifically I am having trouble with device driver deployment while deploying my reference image.
I am running SCCM Config Manager 2012 SP1 CU2. This is running on a Server 2012 VM with SQL 2012.  I am building an OSD deployment and have successfully captured my reference image. I am not sure if it matters, but I manually built a reference
PC and using capture media (USB stick), I successfully captured my reference image. I have imported my drivers for the target PC into Config Manager and into a driver package. The driver package has been deployed to the distribution point
(DP).  I checked the status of the driver package within the console and verified it has been deployed to the DP.   I created a new task sequence (TS) to deploy the captured wim. Within the TS, I added an "Apply
Driver Package" step and pointed it to the aforementioned driver package. I added a WMI query to the step as follows
select * from Win32_ComputerSystem where Model like "HP Probook 6570b%."
Incidentally, I did a wmi query on the target PC to verify the model. I deployed the TS to the unknown computers collection and PXE booted the target PC. I ran through the OSD wizard and while OSD is verifying the deployment prerequisites,
the deployment fails with the error, "The task sequence cannot be run because a package referenced by the task sequence could not be found." I checked the smsts.log log and found the following:
Failed to find CCM_SoftwareDistribution object for AdvertID="CT120043", PackageID="CT100044", ProgramID="*"
After some research I found this error means Config Manager cannot find the driver package (PackageID="CT100044")
for deployment. After more research I have done the following:
Deleted the Driver Package and recreated it and updated the TS step to point to this package.
Deleted and recreated the TS along with the driver package.
Recreated the driver package and distributed content, only importing the NIC drivers as a way to make a simple test.
When distributing content I verified it was successfully completed each time as per the console.
Each time I recreated the driver package and the OSD failed, smsts.log is showing the appropriate package ID in the error. If I disable the Apply Driver Package step and configure a Apply Device Drivers step to install the best matched compatible drivers
and limit the driver matching to the specific driver package, the OSD completes but the drivers do not install. It is as if Config Manager is not seeing the imported drivers at all.
I have run out of options to try and hope someone can help point me in the next direction to take.  After reading numerous forums and guides, I am sure I am doing the OSD steps correctly but I am apparently missing something.
Thanks in advance,
Mike G.

Thanks for responding.
Yes after I posted the question I right-clicked on the driver package, and selected to update distribution points. I checked now (about 12 hours later) and the package is showing it has not finished updating. I checked the content status and
it is "waiting for content." I looked at distmgr.log and I found an error "Failed to start DP health monitoring task for package 'CT100044'. Error code: -1". This error would occur every 30 min after each time the DP retried to process
the package. After some research I found a post stating a file called "Microsoft" or "Program" on located on the root of the site server could cause this and renaming or deleting the file would resolve this. I renamed the file and after the next time
it retried, the error cleared, however the package status is still waiting for content. I tried doing a validation on the package but so far there has been no change.

Remove sccm 2012 client package from task sequence

Hello, is possible to remove the sccm client package from task sequence ? i am deploying OS to workgroup computers and i dont want install the sccm client . I am using MDT to create the task sequence.
Erickson Martinez

No, if you are using a task sequence in ConfigMgr (MDT integrated or not) then a client package is mandatory. The only way to get rid of the client is to deinstall it at the end of the task sequence (for example by using the SMSTSPostAction variable).
Another option, if you don't want the client, is to use MDT to deploy those machines. But that would cause an extra deployment mechanism to maintain.

SCCM 2012 Remote Control - from Queries

Hopefully I can find out what's going on with my query configuration.
I've created some Queries for my Help Desk personnel. When using the default "Last Logged On User" query, It gives me the results for the user's computer, but when right-clicking on the computer the option for "Remote Control" is greyed out.
Resource Explorer and the others are available and work properly, just not Remote Control. However when I view any of the collections, Remote Control works perfectly. For now, my guys are running the queries, recording the computer name, then searching
the collections. Even as a Full Administrator I experience this. Any suggestions or possible items I have not enabled?
Thanks for any info.
Charlie Hawkins

Same issue here.
I have completely customized my columns it to add lots of useful information from different class and now EVERYTHING is grayed out.
so I tried all of your suggestions, and some functions did come back. not all. However, now the Queries are useless to me. I need to see the model of the computer, last logon user, last heart beat, install date, OS name that's not a number
but the Caption that says Windows 7 instead of 6.1 that makes sense to the upper management etc.
so, I took the original out of the box query that works perfectly fine and once I added "SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Model" , it broke the query.
I see this as design flaw of Microsoft and reported to be looked at. or am I wrong?
any ideas?

IBCM not working after SCCM 2012 R2 Upgrade from SP1

Just upgraded to CM2012 R2 from SP1, 1 primary site and 1 internet facing MP for IBCM in DMZ - both are on Server 2008 R2. PKI has already been setup and was functional before upgrade. After R2 upgrade, my internet clients cannot
communicate. CcmMessaging.log on the client states: "Post to https ibcmsiteserver,domain,com/ccm_system/request failed with 0x87d00231". LocationServices.log shows: "LSUpdateInternetManagementPoints: Failed to retrieve internet
MPs from MP ibcmsiteserver,domain,com with error 0x87d00231, retaining previous list"
(Had to edit the links to allow post)
Has anyone run into this before and how do I resolve it? Thanks,

CRL checking setting was enabled, not sure if this was enabled before the upgrade or not. Once I disabled CRL checking, the internet client still wouldn't communicate until it was connected to the domain network and received the new policy settings
(I assume).
Now, the question is how do I update the rest of my internet clients without them connecting to the domain network? (VPN is not an option)
Thank you for the help!!

SCCM 2012: no task sequence available because of approve?

Hi,
We're loading some machines again and again to test deploys.
Now sometimes we see the machines appear two times in the list, we delete one and TS works again (not sure why, it 's not always the case).
Now we discovered sometimes the machine is to be approved. No clear reason why because there's an automatic approval. When approved TS runs again.
Any idea?
Pls advise.
J.
Jan Hoedt

Workgroup clients have to be approved by default, so you might run into the situation where the domain join fails, resulting in a workgroup client that has to be approved then.

Hi Jason
See below. The problem is that on some of our laptops not anywhere geographically close to our IT department, the laptop has been setup with 2 partitions and on some only with 1 partition (we used another deployment system 2 years ago), so I am trying
to prepare all our corporate laptops for Bitlocker encryption. The reason why I made this task sequence was to hit all those laptops that is not being reinstalled / installed again in the near future.
Do you have any suggestions, should it help to remove the cmd.exe /c in front of the Bitlocker cmd line ?
We have tried the MBAM solution, but in my opinion too many problems with the MBAM client.

Deploying the FEP client (SCCM 2012 R2) on computers that already have the FEP client from a previouse failed site installation

Hello All
I am in the process of rebuilding our SCCM 2012 R2 site server (single site). The FEP client from the previous sccm 2012 r2 deployment was successfully installed on all of our endpoints and communicating with no issue with the site server. Since losing that
server we are in the process of deploying a one. My question is, when I configure FEP and the site server attemtps to deploy the FEP client will the current one be reinstalled even though its same version? Or will SCCM just recognize there is already
a compatible client installed. I asked a similar question about the SCCM client in another post which was very helpful.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

No, the Endpoint Protection client is still a separate client. By, enabling the client settings the ConfigMgr client will make sure that the Endpoint Protection client is installed and makes sure it will be 'managed'. After re-installing the ConfigMgr
client, the ConfigMgr client will see that Endpoint Protection is already installed and the new ConfigMgr client will start 'managing' the Endpoint Protection client.

Powershell and SCCM 2012 Collections from AD

Greetings everyone, I am trying to take a select of groups in a certain OU within AD to make SCCM 2012 user collections from. I been playing around with just creating the collections based upon a txt file which would work and is probably easier. Can someone

Hi,
I highly recommend asking this question in the ConfigMgr 2012 SDK/PowerShell forum:

This forum is meant for general PowerShell questions. Hopefully you'll get a good response from someone here, but the people who are familiar with the ConfigMgr cmdlets will be more likely to see your question in the specialized forum.
