SCCM 2012 - Maintenance Windows Issue with Update Deployment using Task Sequence

Hi Guys,
I have a question for you!!
We use a Task Sequence to deploy "Patch Tuesday" security fix; we use the integrated step "Install Software Update" and the Task Sequence run during Maintenance Windows (1 hour).
We notice that the time remaining is not recalculated on every software update installation occur (http://blogs.technet.com/b/csloyan/archive/2010/10/24/maintenance-window-calculations-explained.aspx);
it's correct?
The formula indicated in the link above is not considered in this type of software update deployment (Install Software Update task sequence step)?
Thanks a lot.
David

Hi,
Any update?
Is the time remaining recalculated after each update is installed when using the Software Update Group directly as Torsten said?

Joyce

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.

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 R2 - OSD issues after update to CU4

Over the weekend, I updated my SCCM environment from RTM to CU4.
All seems to have gone well, except for OSD
When attempting OSD, I receive the following error:
"An error occurred while retrieving policy for this computer (0x80004005)..."
So, a quick look over at smsts.log and I see the following:
I did some bing'in and googling around for this and found plenty of pages about this error and all pointed to incorrect BIOS times. I checked the BIOS time on the system I was trying to image, and it was correct (including date). Just in case,
I tried two more machines and I had the same issue. Each machine has the correct BIOS date/time as well, so the issue I have doesn't seem related.
... and that brings me here. Does anyone have any insight as to what might be causing the issue?
Thanks!

I noticed two thing in your log file that are worth a check:
I noticed a 404 error in your log file that might indicate an issue with some files that can't be found. Check the IIS log file for more information;
I noticed that you're using HTTPS. I've seen weird issues after a CU update in which the distribution point certificate got missing. In that case, check the distribution point properties and update the boot image.

Follow me on twitter: pvanderwoude
I did miss the 404 message... silly me.
This definitely pointed in the right direction. What we found was that it wasn't an issue IIS or the https certificate, but our certificate chain had issues. We cleared out the certificate chain issues and re-installed the MP role. This
cleared the issue immediately.
Thanks Peter for the guidance!

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 SP1 errors when downloading updates

Currently using SCCM 2012 SP1 with CU2 and I am having some update download issue with Automatic Deployment Rules.
The Environment is:
Server 2008 R2
SCCM 2012 SP1 CU2 (Upgraded from SCCM 2012 CU2)
I created an Automatic Deployment Rule for Adobe Flash. Since I was having the same issue with Adobe Reader, when I published via SCUP to WSUS I chose not to sign the updates.
After publishing to WSUS I then sync SCCM, I see the updates and then in the ADR I had it download the updates and I see this error:
Authentication of file C:\Windows\TEMP\CABDEC5.tmp failed, error 0x800b0004 Software Updates Patch Downloader 8/15/2013 6:49:43 PM 3712 (0x0E80)
ERROR: DownloadContentFiles() failed with hr=0x80073633 Software Updates Patch Downloader 8/15/2013 6:49:43 PM 6876 (0x1ADC)
Failed to download the update from internet. Error = 13875 SMS_RULE_ENGINE 8/15/2013 6:49:43 PM 6876 (0x1ADC)
Failed to download ContentID 16845337 for UpdateID 16841530. Error code = 13875 SMS_RULE_ENGINE 8/15/2013 6:49:43 PM 6876 (0x1ADC)
Now the funny thing is if I go to the update itself within update group that Flash is a member I can right click it and choose download and the error doesn't occur.
I observed that the UNC path for ADR Adobe flash, when the rule is ran, is populated with folders that have a name something like 44738297895427890.1 or 423154325378u867234789.1. I have come to realize that those are failed downloads. So for the
heck of it I then right clicked the update itself and chose download and it downloaded without issue. Now I'm guessing that when I chose to download directly from the update maybe the system is getting the update from adobe and not from wherever the rule was
trying to get it from. I then see the .1 removed from the directory name and there are updates within them.
Just for clarity here are the steps I go through from SCUP to Syncing...
Log in to WSUS server
Run SCUP as administrator
Get notified there are updates from Adobe and let SCUP download updates
Find the updates the specify the following publishing options
Full Content
Sign all software updates with a new publishing certificate .... (Is this necessary by the way?)
Then click Next
After that's done I then go to SCCM Manager Console and go to Software Updates and right click to Synchronize them.
After that's done then I run the ADR for Adobe Flash and when it goes to download the updates that's when the error occurs.
What am I missing?
Also, while I wait for help I just recently added the WSUS SCUP certificate to the SCCM server to see if by chance that fixes stuff. If it does then I'll post the results of adding the certificate to the SCCM server.
One other thing, is there a way to delete updates? When I was having this issue in the past, I went in to SCUP I marked the updates as expired and then deleted the updates. Went to SCCM and synchronized the updates and they went from not expired to expired
then I waited, maybe 30 days or so before I could add the updates back in.
Thanks for the help!

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
Have you seen the note at the bottom of this page about this error?

App-V 5.0 SP2 user applications published via SCCM 2012 to VDI workstations with roaming only

Hi,
The environment consists of App-V 5.0 SP2 (KB2956985) user based applications published via SCCM 2012 to Windows 7 VDI snapshotted workstations that are reset at user logoff.
When a user logs on the SCCM 2012 client initiates App-V client package publishing. After a couple of minutes after logon the shortcuts appear and the user can launch their applications.
The issue is that at logoff, even with roaming enabled, the publishing information disappears. This causes the next logon process for that user to repeat, the applications are not available until the SCCM client has completed it's publishing cycle.
Roaming profiles are implemented. %APPDATA% is redirected to a UNC path. The following registry key is set
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Integration\PreserveUserIntegrationsOnLogin=1
U-EV, global publishing of applications, and AppLocker rules are not an option. Also, I have read this already - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn659478.aspx#BKMK_PE
I do not want to wait for the SCCM client to kick in prior to the user applications being available. What do I need to roam or run to create a seamless transition for the user between sessions?
Eddie.

Hi Tywin (bad username considering the last GoT Episode ;))
If you ask Microsoft, they always recommend using SCCM for deploying App-V packages and reuse your current SCCM infrastructure if that is already in place. Problem is, as you now experience, is that there is some big caveats both in regards to publishing
time and to roaming of settings.
As Nické states I would suggest looking into the Full Infrastructure Model for App-V 5.x, which gives you much better performance in what I call "from no apps" to "being able to click the shortcut" - the add and publishing phase. If you don't have the time/budget/whatever
to start looking into that, you could look into some community tools like App-V Scheduler which is developed specific by Citrix guys to ease the publishing and management in a Citrix world.
Microsoft have a great article about Performance Guidelines, which you have read, but it mostly presumes you work with Full Infrastructure. Have you looked into Steve Thomas' session from TechEd NA? It talks about "implementation trends".

Having issues with update to iOS 8

Having issues with update to iOS 8, wheel keeps spinning with 9 hrs remaining to complete update. What are my options?
<Re-Titled By Host>

I am a windows/mac user... And I was Linux user for several years... And so far I have been really happy with apple but this problem is frustrating.
I don't understand:
1)Why can't I go back to iOS7 since this was apparently the most stable version for my iPad ?
2) Why is apple not doing anything about it, ?
3) If the problem is that my iPad's can't fully support the features of iOS8, why on earth have they made it available to iPad 2?
Any way, I will just wait a bit longer and probably start looking in to a Samsung tablet or something....
Cheers,

Issue with Update of Table VARINUM

Hi,

Thisi is quite old, but not answered properly yet, so there you go:
SAP generates a new job and temporary variant on report RSDBSPJS, for each HTTP call,which creates database locks on table VARINUM .
This causes any heavyweight BSP application to hang and give timeout errors.
The problem is fixed applying OSS note 1791958, which is not included in any service pack.

How to make column headers in table in PDF report appear bold while datas in table appear regular from c# windows forms with sql server2008 using iTextSharp

The above code executes well with no problem at all!
As you can see the file to which i create and save and open my pdf report is
AssignedDialyzer.pdf.
The column headers of table in pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp are
"Reprocessing Date","Patient Name","Dialyzer(Manufacturer,Size)","No.of Reuse","Verification" and
"DialyzerID".
However the problem i am facing is after execution and opening of document is my
column headers in table in pdf report from
c# and datas in it all appear in bold.
I have browsed through net regarding to solve this problem but with no success.
What i want is my pdf report from c# should be similar to following format which i was able to accomplish in vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp.:
Given below is report which i have achieved from vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp
I know that there has to be another way to solve my problem.I have browsed many articles in net regarding exporting sql datas to above format but with no success!
Is there is any another way to solve to my problem on exporting sql datas from c# windows forms using iTextSharp to above format given in the picture/image above?!
If so Then Can anyone tell me what modifications must i do in my c# code given above so that my pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp will look similar to image/picture(pdf report) which i was able to accomplish from
vb6,adodb with ms access using iTextSharp?
I have approached Sound Forge.Net for help but with no success.
I hope anyone/someone truly understands what i am trying to ask!
I know i have to do lot of modifications in my c# code to achieve this level of perfection but i dont know how to do it.
Can anyone help me please! Any help/guidance in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
I hope i get a reply in terms of solving this problem.

Reasons for not deploying applications using Task Sequence

Hi guys!
Could you provide me with some reasons why I shouldn't be using Task Sequences to deploy all of my applications? I like the idea that I can deploy multiple applications and packages at the same time, as well as being able to perform other tasks in the same
Task Sequence if needed. I also really like the progress bar window which shows end user the company and name of application being installed.
The SCCM Unleashed 2012 book mentions that while this is an available option it's not a good practice because "applications are meant to be state-based". Would someone be able to elaborate on that statement?
Is using Task Sequences for deploying applications generally a bad practice that I should try to avoid?

Hi,
here is a description for state based:
Depending on the deployment purpose you have specified in the deployment type of an application, System Center 2012 Configuration Manager periodically checks that the state of the application is the same as its purpose. For example, if an
application’s deployment type is specified as Required, Configuration Manager reinstalls the application if it has been removed. Only one deployment type can be created per application and collection pair.
If you deploy your applications by using task sequence you bypass this feature. You will install the application. but after this initial installation there will be no further check for the app to be still present on device.
You can use task sequences, but should be aware of the features you bypass in this scenario.

Application Deployment vs Task Sequence for MS Office 2013

Afternoon All,
I'm in the process of Deploying MS Office 2013 onto our fleet of machines using SCCM 2012
Our current fleet has MS Office 2010 installed
I have created a custom .MSP file for my MS Office 2013
I'm currently just deploying MS Office 2013 by just selecting device collections and it seems to work (besides removing sharepoint workspace 2010)
I have been trying to streamline the process to clean up MS Office 2010 - I have been told to create a custom task sequence and set it as below
1. Use Office 2010 Application package set as uninstall
2. Use Office 2013 Application package set to install
They say this makes for a more clean process as it's two individual tasks being completed.
Just want to see how others went from MS Office 2010 to MS Office 2013 using SCCM 2012

Also note that using task sequences for application installs is currently not supported by Microsoft. It may still work, but it is not supported.
