SCCM 2012 R2 OS: central logging?

Hi,
We would like to have OSD logfiles in a central shared location instead on the pc itself.
This way we can find out issues without having to dig into the machine (when machine is down, blue screen ...).

This is what I was looking for, great article: http://schadda.blogspot.be/2012/01/sccm-2012-how-to-catch-errors-in-task.html

This is basically the same as the MDT (CM integrated) task sequences already provide out of the box.

SCCM 2012 R2 MP Registation log error "Rejecting the registration request because Agent Type is ISV Proxy (4). This Agent Type is no longer supported."

Any idea what this message is trying to tell me? ISV Proxy Client Registrations ad worked fine in SCCM 2012 prior to R2. This message in the title is present in MP_RegistrationManager.log. The ISV Proxy Certificate lists as "unblocked".
If this is true, then that was a pretty sleathy move to remove this support.
BAE

Hi BEnsinger,
You should set your proxy agent type = 8. Everything should work correctly if you do. The change wasn't intended to be a "stealthy" move.
This was originally documented in in ConfigMgr 2007 and remains the same in ConfigMgr 2012:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc146744.aspx
The error text may be a little odd - but I'm assuming you're actually registering a client, and according to the SDK docs, you should be using type = 8.

SCCM 2012 creates 4732 event logs for 3 of Servers

Hi,
My problem is SCCM 2012 R2 which I have installed recently is creating 4732 security logs in 3 of our servers for every 5hrs interval which is an audit exposure. When I investigated which gives me local administrator ID is getting added to the NT Authority
Group, which I'm not able to explain. Can some one help me in understanding it or Is there anyway I can stop that?

Hi,
Please provide more information as Torsten said.
Are there Event ID: 4733 messages existed in event log if it creates 4732 logs every 5 hours? Is it the same account being added to the same Group?

SCCM 2012 Replication between Central Admin Site and all Primary Sites is failing

Let me start by saying I have made a mistake and now I am paying for it and attempting to fix it. All of our SCCM servers are virtual and exist on an ESX environment. The mistake I made is I restored our Central Admin Site from a backup without also
restoring the two Primary Sites at the same time. Now the databases between the sites simply refuse to synchronize. I can run the Replication Link Analyzer until I'm blue in the face and even though the data gets replicated once, the replication immediately
breaks and fails after that.
Regrettably I no longer have access to backups that would take me back to a point where the three servers were happy. The problem there is our ESX administrator only keeps a limited number of backups per server (we have in excess of 180 virtual servers in
our ESX environment) and the backups from a point in time where they worked is no longer available.
As I have said I have tried running the Replication Link Analyzer many times. I have also tried going into the SQL server console and running the stored procedure spDrsSendReplicationInvalid.
Can anyone provide me with any assistance on how best to restore replication between the Central Admin server and the two Primary servers?

Just an addition: the option called "Recover central administration site:
Then specify the FQDN of a
Reference primary site" is the one to try first.

SCCM 2012 - Software Center Installation Log / Report

Hi there,
does anyone know how to check the amount of installations via software center?
for example i would like to see a log/report how many clients accessed software center and installed applications.
would be also great to see the top10 list of applications being installed, etc.
is there something a like?

There's no usage data of software center. You could query data listed in add/remove programs using SRS, but you would have to be very creative to find a way to determine the top 10 installation list.

thats too bad though, but thank you very much for your reply.
this will get on my wishlist for sccm 2014

SCCM 2012 OSD: central logging, smsts.log

Hi,
Is there a way to follow an SCCM MDT integrated task sequence in real time?
We configured central logging and this is working fine, though it is only BDD.log that is copied. When task sequence fails or is succesfull the other files are copied too.
We want to have the possibilty to monitor in real time, without needing to go on the machine itself and open smsts.log.
Please advise.
J.
Jan Hoedt

I first created threads about configuring central logging in SCCM, numerous indeed.
That worked fine but then we decided to go to MDT logging, again some threads.
No logging is satisfactory to us, neither is the status message. I don't get the concept of the satus message, why is it there whereas smsts.log is containing all logdata.
We deploy a lot of machines to debug. These are on the central logging share. Loggings like smsts.log also can easily be sent for comment when issues. To be able to debug correctly, we need the smsts.log, it's a struggle each time to go on the machine and
get the smsts.log (when machine is in winpe-phase or has network issues. I don't understand why a simple concept = central logging of smsts.log (not the status messages) is that hard to configure/would not exist at all.

SCCM 2012 MP does not monitor anything but the central site

Hi,
We've tried implementing the SCCM 2012 MP (5.0.7804.1000) to monitor our SCCM 2012 SP1 setup running on Server 2012 from our SCOM 2012 SP1 setup.
Everything imports fine and after ~30 minutes the servers are discovered and appears.
After a while longer the central site and the SDK-service shows up as monitored but the resto of the 5 DPs and all other server roles remains unmonitored even after 3 days.. ..?
All the agents are set to enable proxy.
The SCOM servers runs with one service accounts and the agents with different action accounts.
The SCOM action accounts on the SCCM-servers all run with the same domain service account with administrator-privileges on the SCCM-servers but no permissions within SCCM.
Does the action account need any specific permissions in the SQL DB or in SCCM? To be part of any specific role?
Any advise is greatly appreciated :)

We have resolved this issue, I'm not exactly sure how we resolved it but what I think fixed the problem for us was creating overrides for the object discovery rules contained in the MP.
See my blog on our implementation: http://damonjohns.com/2014/07/01/monitoring-configuration-manager-2012-r2-with-the-scom-2012-r2-management-pack/
My blog contains a screen shot and all the values I changed.
You may ask why we increased the rate at which the hierarchy discovery rule executed with an override? Well
in part it was due to:
A. Us having the issue and
B. I was sick of trying to trouble shoot the event log error that by default only registered every 6 hours.
After I created the overrides, the MP started discovering data. It wasn't immediate though, it took another 6 hours or so for it to start working correctly. I think what might be happening is that one of the discovery rules is not completing correctly which
causes the others to fail - hence no data. I have no idea why shortening the time on the discovery objects made any difference. But...it worked for me.
Cheers

SCCM 2012 R2 Remote DP (w PXE): cannot find SCCM installation path nor logs

Hello All,
I'm deploying a new SCCM 2012 R2 environment.
I've got 1 primary site with a remote DP with PXE enabled.
The PXE point is working: clients can pxe boot.
However, I can't find the SMSPXE log on the server..
I can't find any SCCM related log for that matter on the server..
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? How can it be that I can't find the logs?
The C:\Program Files doesn't contain a Configuration Manager folder neither.
Thanks!
Filip

Hi,
Kent has a blog post on it here:

SCCM 2012 with MDT integrated: dynamic logging to \\servername\share\failed\computername or ...\succesfull\computername

Hi,
I have this SCCM 2012 standard CM task sequence which writes its logs at the end of the task sequence to a folder. When succesfull to\\server\share\success\computername, when failed to \\server\share\failed\computername
It then also sends a mail with location of logfiles.
Please advise on dynamic logging within sccm 2012 R2: how do I configure this? In ini-file, I set the SLShareDynamicLogging to a servershare?
J.
Jan Hoedt

It would be customsettings.ini in MDT and this is not available in native CM12 task sequences. Integrating MDT in CM12 would add that. You can set task sequence variables in CM12 though using computer variables, collection variables, task sequence steps
or scripts during the task sequence.

Upgrade from SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 to R2 Fails - Unsupported Upgrade Path

Hi everybody,
I'm currently upgrading our SCCM infrastructure to SCCM 2012 R2 after have finished with the upgrade from SCCM 2012 RTM to SP1 CU4, thus far everything works fine, but when I try to update any

I've already tried the

Finally, the version, build number and everything is correct, no idea what could be the problem, does anybody know a way to bypass this or force the re-evaluation of this rules, I've got
the impression that it's being cached somehow.
Any help would be highly appreciated,

Hello again everybody,
I've finally managed to fix this up, in the end I had to delete those entries manually from the database as Garry suggested. After this was done the upgrade has gone through as expected with no further ado and has finalized already, now moving on to the
primary sites.
If anybody out there is facing the same issue, what I did was to delete those "stubborn" records executing the following statements over the CAS database:
DELETE
FROMServerDataWHERESiteCode='XXX'

And this is pretty much about it. I'd recommend to take a proper backup first though as best practice.
Thank you all anyways for your answers and comments,

"Enable distribution-point sharing for this source site" did not showing SCCM 2007 DPs as SCCM 2012 content shares for CM12 clients

Hi
We have one central site server and three primary site servers in SCCM 2007 and completed the SCCM 2012 migration as single hierarchy.
During the migration, We have configured SCCM 2007 Central site server as source hierarchy for data gathering process and configured the "Enable distribution-point sharing for this source site" to make SCCM 2007 distribution points
as SCCM 2012 content shares to serve SCCM 2012 migrated clients. Now we are facing a problem that one of the primary site server's data gathering process did not gather SCCM 2007 DPs even though we configured "Enable distribution-point sharing for this
source site" but data gathering process is completing successfully.
Is anyone have idea, why these SCCM 2007 DPs did not appearing as SCCM 2012 content shares under "Shared Distribution Points"
Thanks in Advance

Earlier all the shared DPs are showing under Shared Distribution Points ? Or since starting itself these DPs are not showing down? Have you checked migmctrl.log for some clue?

FEP 2010 Admin Template Breaks GPResult /H on SCCM 2012 clients

We have both FEP 2010 clients, which are being managed by a GPO created from the FEP2010 Admin Template in our Central store, and SCCM 2012/SCEP clients which are being managed by
SCCM but we have noticed when running GPResult /h on the SCCM clients, you get an error in the Administrative Template section:
An error has occurred while collecting data for Administrative Templates.
The following errors were encountered:
Registry value "%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\Logs\Edb.chk" is of unexpected type.
We have discovered the SCCM/SCEP client local policy creates the exclusion paths in the registry as a DWORD but the FEP2010 Admin Template creates the exclusion paths
as a REG_SZ on the FEP 2010 clients. When you run GPResult /h, the templates from the Central Store are used and since the value types are different on the SCCM/SCEP 2012 client, GPResult /H fail.
The current work-around is to create a GPO using the FEP 2010 Admin Template with the exclusion paths that are the same as your SCCM 2012 settings and apply that GPO to the SCCM Clients. That changes the registry keys from DWORD to REG_SZ
and GPResult start working again!!
Running GPResult /Z also works!!
Any one else experience this behavior?

Hi,
I tried and found that the value type is different too. The DWORD value for Forefront Client also works, so the workaround you are currently using is applicable. Anyway, I will record the situation that the ADMX template has a different value type with SCEP
policy value.

Adobe Creative Cloud Enterprise Deployment Issues using SCCM 2012 R2

Hi,
I have been trying to deploy Adobe Creative Cloud Enterprise to Windows 8.1 machines that are identical, using SCCM 2012 R2.
The Adobe package seems fine, because it seems to deploy successfully to some machines. And SCCM 2012 R2 has been configured correctly, as I can deploy other software using it, and again, it deploys Adobe CC successfully to some of the machines.
I have tried comparing the package that is downloaded on the test machine/client machine, with the original package on the distribution point, using Beyond Compare, and there are no differences.
I have contacted Adobe Enterprise Support, and they asked me to send to them log files from Event Viewer, the msi installer, and other Adobe logs, from the machine that failed the deployment. However, after Adobe studying them, they told me that they could not identify any problems... Strange, because I could have sworn that I saw error 1603 pop up over 20 times on different machines indicating that the 'Set-up.dat' file had a problem with it.
After all the testing on over 20 identical machines (same hardware/same software), using different configurations on SCCM 2012 R2 and the client machines, I still can't seem to have a reliable solution to deploying Adobe CC.
The fact that it deploys successfully on one machine and fails on another, or sometimes deploy to two machines and fail on another (simultaneously), is something that I don't understand.
Another thing is that, if I retry the deployment 10-15 times after it failed the first time, it might go through...
Adobe Enterprise Support asked me if they could remote into a machine that failed the deployment to have a look at it and I agreed to that option, but it seems like my issue has been ignored because they never got back to me.
Has anyone had this kind of problem or anything similar before?
I need to be able to deploy this remotely to 100+ machines. So installing manually is not an option.
Any help is appreciated.
This was posted in the wrong section a few days ago. I'm hoping I can get some help here.
Case Number: 1862659812
UPDATE: I spoke to Adobe Customer Support and after 1.5 hours on the phone with a remote session going on, problem was still not solved or identified. Additional log files have been sent and now I'm waiting for a call back.

Hi Robert,
We seem to be having a very similar issue. Our installs would randomly fail with error code 1603 and an error message about a fault in Set-up.dat. Failure rate was near 95% on our 900 machines. Adobe Support and Karl having been looking into our issues but so far no solution has been found.
Having done a lot of investigating we've managed to deploy our package using a schedule task running as a domain admin. This is a nasty solution and we don't intend on using this permanently, but we needed to get the package out.
Are you seeing any of the following:

Installer Log
Indicates it can't find the Media_db. We noticed that the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\caps doesn't get created on the machines were the install fails, so error message is correct in that there isn't a Media_db.db. Sysinterals Process Monitor seems to show that the setup tried to create the folder/files but they don't actually get created. Copying a Media_db into the folder from another machine seems to allow the installation to almost finish, but unsurprisingly you end up with problems later on.
