SCCM 2012: install individual patch, not visible in monitoring

Hi,
I was deploying a single Windows patch via SCCM 2012. Now this seems to work fine (I can see the deployment status) BUT I cannot see it in monitoring.
When I add the patch to a "Software Update Groups", I CAN see it in monitoring.
My question: what's the logic behind this? Why would I use an individual deployment if there is no monitoring built in. I'd need to know the KB then look into the software updates, select it and select the deployment status. Then also nobody sees that this
deployment exists since it doesn't appear anywhere else.
In other words fully useless(?)
Please advise.

Hi,
You can follow up a single update using a report or the Software Updates view on required/installed column but not under montioring,.

Migration of a Windows 2008 Domain to 2012 with SCCM 2012 installed

Hey there,
i have been requested to migrate two 2008 Domains to 2012 with a possible merge.
Done this many times, but in this case i have a SCCM 2012 installed in the Environment.
SCCM is not covered by me, but i would like to have some aditional Background on this...
Are there any Special Points to give Attention to?
Any Hints or Ideas on this?
Best regards
Chris
btw: i still found, that i am not "allowed" to migrate the sccm itself, but Need to reinstall it...

Lets say you have two domains - Domain 1 and Domain 2. Both have W2008 DCs. SCCM 2012 has been deployed to Domain 1.
You could just upgrade to W2012 DCs in Domain 1, then migrate Domain 2 resources to Domain 1.In this way SCCM is unaffected.

SCCM 2012 Software Metering is not working

SCCM 2012 Software Metering is not working in our environment. Other than software metering, reports work just fine.
I have created a few simple software metering rules with “Acrobat.exe” and “Outlook.exe”. Rules are enabled. Rules were on at least 6 months.
When I go to software metering reports, Month parameter value is empty and I can’t choose any value.
I ran runmetersumm.exe on our server, it did not work as intended. :
Summarizing data up to 0 hours old.
File Usage Summary added -1 rows in 0 seconds.
Monthly Usage Summary added -1 rows in 0 seconds.
I am stumped. Why would it add minus rows?
Any ideas how I can make software metering work on our environment?
Thank you

Finally figured it out.
mtrmgr.log did not find any rules when I ran executables. So I knew it wasn't working on the server side.
After searching for a while, I found the solution from the link below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8f048512-c357-437e-89ec-cee5356a10b1/software-metering-reports-empty?forum=configmanagergeneral
1. Deleted RULECHG.RTA under policypv.box folder
2. Removed and recreated metering rules again.
Everything is working again now.
Thank you.
I do wonder how to avoid those problems going forward though.

SCCM 2012: F8 debug widow not working (At-least not visible) after entering into the "Currently installed Windows 7 Image": F8 works in winPE

F8 debug widow not working (At-least not visible) after entering into the "Currently installed Windows 7 Image"
F8 option turned on in the boot image.
F8 debug window works in Windows PE.
F8 debug window does not show-up on F8 key-press after entering the 'Currently installed Windows 7 Image" all the way to the end of the task sequence.
But after a 'Restart Step' (and if F8 was pressed) the Task Sequence tends to pause indefinitely as if the
F8 debug screen is open in the background.
I am using SCCM 2012 SP1 (CU 1 is
not an option at the moment).
Any ideas as to how I could get the debug F8 option back?

There have been a couple reported occurrences of this (or something similar) to my knowledge with no resolution in the forums. Your best bet may be to open a case with CSS.
Also note that if you were going to do a CU, why would you pick CU1 instead of CU4? And, can I ask why it's not an option out of curiosity?

SCCM 2012 CU1: client patching needed?

Hi,
We installed SCCM 2012 R2 patch on the sccm server some time ago.
Now I wonder:
-do we need to take specific actions to update existing clients? -probably yes -deploying the package sccm 2012 client that the upgrade installed?-
-new deployed clients take the CU1 update automatically in their deploy, correct (I noticed that somewhere in a log if I remember correct)
-what would be the impact if we do not take actions (as for now no issues).
J.
Jan Hoedt

Yes, you need to deploy CU1 to the clients -- it is in no way automatic (unfortunately).
Here's the official guidance for deploying updates: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj553405.aspx
There aren't any specific negative ramifications of not doing so, but anything added by CU1 -- like fixes -- won't affect the client if the client doesn't have the CU installed also.

SCCM 2012 Install :An error has occurred while attempting to download or verify required pre....

This is not the first time I am installing SCCM 2012 :) , however stuck at this one for some time now.
I have a lab where SCCM 2012 pre-reqs were downloaded during setup and SCCM 2012 has been installed fine.
We are doing another install for this client however SCCM download fails as ISA blocks it. Therefore we are trying to use the old setup files which were previously downloaded. However, this does not work (Files under e:\SCCM...). The log still refers to
downloading the file from the internet.
Here's the log

SCCM 2012 R2 CAS or not CAS

Hi.
Sorry for the noob question but here it goes:
We are planning to implement SCCM 2012 R2 on our organization. We have offices across the country as well as web clients. We have multiple forests and domains that are going to have a 2-ways trusted rellation with a new domain where we're installing SCCM
as well.
The planned hierarchy is to install a primary site on each office, on a DMZ and on the new "mother" domain.
My question is, can I run reports on a primary site and get the full view of the infrastrucure and all clients, software, etc..?
Can I, from domain "A" site "A", get a report on the clients of site "B" domain "B" or is it better (or the only way) to get a CAS?
Thanks in advance

Just to reinforce the above: NO CAS!
Nothing you have stated above requires a CAS and as pointed out, the *only* technical criteria that requires a CAS and multiple primary sites is a managed client/device
count of 100,000+.
ConfigMgr does not in any way care that a client is in a different forest (trusted or untrusted -- the only exception is for user targeted deployments in untrusted forests because ConfigMgr has no way to know about those users).

SCCM 2012 R2 Computer reports not displaying users and domain information for some systems.

I have a recently deployed SCCM 2012 R2 server which has been running well so far.
I have, however, noticed in the reporting (example: "Computers in a specific site" report) that some computers are not showing information like "User domain" and "User Name" (for about 500 of the 1500 computers).
If I go to a collection, select such a computer and right click to properties and go to the general tab I can see that the below fields are blank:
Last Logon User Domain
Last Logon User Name
All other fields are populated similarly for both affected and non-affected agents. Agent versions are the same as well. Hardware/Software inventory appears to be completing on all systems.
Has anyone else seen this type of behavior and found a solution? Appreciate any advice. Thanks.
Edit: Most agents have been installed for close to 2 months.
Hardware inventory: Daily
Software inventory: Weekly

Hi,
Those two values are populated by the Heartbeat agent and if no user is logged on when the heartbeat is sent, then the value is blank so I would say this would be as expected.
If you want to know which user has been using a computer you should have a look at the assett Intelliengence reports with console usage, then you can see who has been using a computer most frequently.

SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot System Service not visible in Central Administration

Hi all,
I want to test PowerPivot 2012 on the following configuration:
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- Sharepoint 2010 - Enterprise edition
- SQL Server 2008 R2
- PowerPivot for Sharepoint<o:p></o:p>
As such, I downloaded SQL Server 2012 Evaluation and tried to upgrade SQL Server 2008 PowerPivot for Sharepoint instance to SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot
for Sharepoint. It didn't work as it's not possible to upgrade from Enterprise to Evaluation edition without a pid.
Next, I uninstalled the existing SQL Server 2008 PowerPivot for Sharepoint and I installed the SQL Server 2012 PowerPivot for Sharepoint.
I started to configure PowerPivot in Central administration (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210609.aspx) , but I got stuck at the 2nd step Create and Configure a PowerPivot
Service Application (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210685.aspx) in Central Administration.
The problem is that both SQL Integration Service and SQL Server PowerPivot System service are not visible in Central administration > Manage
services on server; however they are visible and running in Windows Administrative Tools > Services.
Do you think the services are missing in Sharepoint Central Administration because the Sharepoint configuration database is on SQL Server 2008, while the Powerpivot instance is on SQL Server 2012 ?

Thank you for the suggestion.
Meanwhile I have managed to solve the problem. What I've done:
- remove PowerPivot configuration using the Power Configuration Tool
- uninstall PowerPivot
- reinstall PowerPivot
- run PowerPivot Configuration Tool - I still got the parent service error
- remove PowerPivot configuration using the Power Configuration Tool
- run PowerPivot Configuration Tool - this time I received another error regarding the user that runs SQL Server Integration services
- check Sql Server Analysis Service account in Central Administration > Security > Service accountsManage service account - it seems that it was running under Local System account, although in Administrative Tools > Services it appeared to
be run by my domain account
- set a domain account for Sql Server Analysis Service in Central Administration
- run the PowerPivot Configuration Tool - this time it went smoothly.

SCCM 2012 - Install WSUS Off Box SQL

Hi all,
installed SCCM 2012 R2 CAS on a 2012 server. The SQL is off box on a server cluster. I've installed WSUS through the 'Add Roles and Features'. I configured it to have local storage for the content and a remote DB instance
(called SQL1 on our cluster). All this worked well and the install completed as expected. I checked the SQL cluster and the "SUSDB" database was created ok.
As a final step, i went to Tools in Server Manager and launched Windows Server Update Services. This brought up the 'Complete WSUS Installation' dialogue box. I entered the exact same DB info as i had done when completing
the initial install of WSUS:
Yet when i hit 'run' the following message returns:
The relevant bit of logging is shown here:
2015-01-14 16:58:42 Starting service W3SVC
2015-01-14 16:58:42 Configuring IIS...
2015-01-14 16:58:42 Start: ConfigureWebsite
2015-01-14 16:58:42 System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80070422): The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.
So i guess i have two question;
1] is this Post-installation failure something i need to fix? (I presume it is)
2] If i do need to fix this to get sccm running properly, does anyone have any suggestions as to where i should start?
Thanks

(for three forests which have no trust relationships).
That's not a valid technical reason to have multiple primary sites at all. ConfigMgr does not care about, use, or rely on domain or forest boundaries or client membership in any way for client management. Using multiple primary sites and a CAS will
significantly increase complexity and latency, will add additional points of failure, and will increase overall operational costs.
Concur with Jason here. CAS not needed. You can add in untrusted forests to the Configmgr Console so log as you have an account with permissions in the destination forest, extend the schema, create the system management container and open up any firewall
ports that are need for communication from site server to dc.
Neil Peterson has a great set of blogs on how to achieve this
http://blogs.technet.com/b/neilp/archive/2012/08/20/cross-forest-support-in-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-part-1.aspx
and ports are listed in this TechNet article under site server -- > Domain Controller. Ensure your RPC ports match the OS of the DC.

Final agreement with Jason - push to get that SQL local.

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.

SCCM 2012 Installing Admin console on Windwos 7

I have installed SCCM 2012 Admin Console on a Windows 7 machine. The console installed fine by I'm now receiving this error.
This is from the SmsAdminUI.log

Ideas on what is broke. I have tried with the firewall on and off made no difference.

Hi,

Based on the log, I recommend you use the following way to test SQL connectivity.
You can use a UDL file to test various connectivity scenarios, create a simple text file, rename the extension from TXT to UDL, fill out the necessary information on the connection tab then test the connection, and troubleshoot as necessary
if it fails to connect.
For more information, please review the link below:

SCCM 2012 R2 Clients are not retrieving policy

Hi - I know this question has been asked many times before - but I have tried almost everything and a no closer to solving the problem.
Background: Recently a SCCM 2012 SP1 single stand-alone site was upgraded to SCCM 2012 R2. The site is a single stand-alone primary site with a single DP, single MP, using mixed mode
(HTTP). The R2 upgrade ran without any problem and all SCCM components are showing as healthy.
A few test SCCM 2012 SP1 clients were upgraded to the R2 client using client-push.
However the upgraded clients are not retrieving policy from the Management Point. In the Actions Tab of the SCCM client, only Machine Policy Retrieval and User Policy Retrieval are available. But kicking of those actions does not
result in any of the advertised applications, Task Sequences becoming available. Infact Custom Client Settings are not being set either (e.g. Organisation Name in software Center).
I have checked and rechecked the following:
The upgrade of the client completed successfully (checked ccmsetup.log) and the version number went from 5.00.7804.1000 (SP1) to 5.00.7958.1000 (R2).
The MP health in the SCCM console is showing healthy.
The MP access URL's load correctly when run from SCCm client computers
“http://<ServerName>/sms_mp/.sms_aut?mplist” is ok
“http://<ServerName>/sms_mp/.sms_aut?mpcert” is ok
The SCCM clients are assigned to the site correctly – verified via the SCCM client and
ClientLocation.Log
ClientIDManager.Log is not showing any errors
CCMExec.log and ExecMgr.log don't show any advertisements being executed (Execmgr.log is almost empty and only has "Software ditrbution site settings policy does not yet exist on the client). If the client is not yest
registered this is expected behaviour")
The SCCM clients are Approved and NOT Blocked in SCCM
I have attempted to upgrade the SCCM client and also completely removed and reinstalled - and both have the same result (no client policy dpwnloaded)
I have also deleted the above clients completely from SCCM, Run divoery again and pushed the client to the machines again ...with the same result (SCCM client installs, assigns to correct site and then no policy downloaded)
SCCM 2012 Boundaries are configured correctly and assigned to Boundary Groups correctly
The SCCM client’s do not have the firewall enabled
Changed boundary from AD Site to Subnet to IP Address Range: Same issue exists
Uninstalled MP role and reinstalled it: same Issue exists
Tried to connect to SCCm client using 3rd party SCCM Client center tool but cannot connect
??? Not sure what else to try ???

Hi all - sorry for the late response.
We managed to resolve the issue after logging a job with Microsoft Support.
The issue was that the SCCM 2012 R2 upgrade corrupted 2 tables in the SCCM Database - leading to corrupt SCCM client policies.
I am pasting the resolution email from Microsoft below:
(NOTE: This may not be the exact sypmtoms you are experiencing so do not implement this fix assuming it will fix your problem!)
ISSUE:
- All clients are unable to download policies from the server
CAUSE:
- Bad policies in the Database
RESOLUTION:
-Issue with PADbID - Run below query against SCCM DB to verify corrupt entries:
SELECT * FROM
ResPolicyMap WHERE machineid = 0 and PADBID IN (SELECT PADBID FROM PolicyAssignment WHERE BodyHash IS NULL)
Confirmed Bad policies entries in the SCCM database
Run below query to delete the bad policy after which we resolved the issue:
Delete FROM ResPolicyMap
WHERE machineid = 0 and PADBID IN (SELECT PADBID FROM PolicyAssignment WHERE BodyHash IS NULL)"

SCCM 2012: install individual patch, not visible in monitoring
