SCCM 2012 R2 Rate Limits

I have a SCCm 2012 set up. Got a primary site and a secondary site. My distribution point for the secondary site is on the Secondary Site Server. I need to set the rate limits for this distribution point. How can I do this? The
rate limits tab i snot available on the distribution point as this DP is on the secondary site server. Also, if I go to Hierarchy Configuration, I do not see ADDRESSES to set it there. How do I do this? Thanks

It's not there because the primary site does not distribute content to a DP co-located on a secondary site server. The primary site server only distributes content to DPs in the primary site and secondary site servers. Thus, you need to configure
the rate limits going to the secondary site. This got renamed at some point but I'm pretty sure its under the File Limits node under Hierarchy configuration (this is what used to be the Addresses node but addresses didn't really make sense anymore).

SCCM 2012 R2 CU3 & Intel AMT firmware versions

Hi,
We are in the process of implementing out-of-band management for Intel AMT Computers and have managed to get everything working on some older test computers. Today we realized that the current OOB functionality in SCCM 2012 is seriously limited as it officially
supports AMT firmwares up only to 6.1. The reason for this is that SCCM OOB uses a depricated SOAP interface and not the newer WS-Management interface. Some newer firmwares we have tested seem to support SOAP (like 8.1.40) but atleast 9.x is no longer supported.
Because of this the OOB of SCCM 2012 is not suitable for any real production environment since it does not support the newer firmwares.
We know that Intel offers an add-on to circumvent this limitation, but we would prefer using only "native" SCCM functionality.
Does anybody have an idea when is Microsoft going to add support for recent Intel AMT firmwares and make OOB usable for real-world environments?
Thanks!

When I called CSS about this they told me to use the Intel stuff. I agree with Jason, my opinion is that this feature will not be upgraded.

Providing limited access to SCCM 2012 R2 console

Hi All,
I have enabled Mobile Device support in SCCM 2012 R2. Everything is fine there.
Now question is if I build this solution for one of our customer and allow them to manage the MDM system.
Here our company policy says we can't allow full access to SCCM console, if we do, end user may messed up with settings.
So I am wondering if its possible to step the MDM solution and for the End Customer's administrators provide a subset of the console?
Or something else .... I don't know if its really possible? May I have an expert advise?
N.A.Malik

You did not define "limited" ... Just see
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh427332.aspx#BKMK_ConfigureRBA about using RBA (role based administration).

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:

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.

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
of the site servers, whether CAS or Primary, I'm getting the following error message in the Prerequisites Check:
I've gone through the system requirements and prerequisites over and over again and I can assure you that every possible update, supported OS, feature set, SQL Server, check list, etc,
etc, have been followed as per the official documentation available, however I'm stuck in this point, and surely enough I haven't been able to find out a similar case.Additionally I'm adding
the ConfigMgrPrereq log (the relevant portion of it) in case someone could kindly take a look at it.

-2014 02:07:00> INFO: Detected current installed build version [7711] for sitecode [BRA]. For Upgrade, minimum supported installed build version is [7804].
I confirm that this one site is a secondary one that's attached to a primary site and this log is from the CAS server, I managed to tall it and delete it from that site, but still appears listed
on the CAS management console, any idea how to force the removal of a secondary site that's attached to a primary from the CAS site when it has been removed already from said primary?
I've already tried the
Preinst /DELSITE XXX command but it only works when the site to remove it's attached to the local site and certainly not from a CAS
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,
Thank you.
Marcelo Estrada MCP-MCTS-MCITP-MCSA-MCSE

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'
DELETE
FROMSC_SiteDefinitionWHERESiteCode='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,

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
Damon

Support for Internet based client Management - SCCM 2012

Hi There,
My Company wants to go for Internet based client Management in SCCM 2012 SP1 R2 and here is the design I'm proposing. I'm getting a bit confused at one point and need suggestion....
Everything would work on HTTPS ( PKI Certificate based )... LAN and Internet.
1 Primary ( with non-client facing roles installed ) on LAN with two site systems.
- One Site System configured for INTRANET support only with MP, DP and SUP -> To support LAN users ( Allow
Intranet-only connections )
- One Site System configured for INTERNET support only with MP, DP and SUP -> To support Internet users ( Allow
Internet-only connections )
The INTERNET facing site system is in DMZ network connected to parent Primary via Firewall.
We want internet clients to talk to ONLY DMZ SCCM Site System and no connection to corporate LAN. We cannot open any ports for internet based clients to LAN.
If this is the supported scenario, then why we need to put the Internet FQDN in the Primary server Site System property. This server would not be available to internet. It should only be my DMZ SCCM server client should connect for MP, DP and SUP and only
this DMZ server should be accessible to client over internet.
Also, what least ports should be opened between :
- Parent Primary and its internet facing site system kept in DMZ
- DMZ Site system and internet clients.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Sam

The FQDN has only to be specified on the Internet facing site system. You can leave this field blank on the primary site Server.
Ports to Open:
Internet --> DMZ Site Server:
TCP Port 443
TCP Port 80, if Fallback Status Point is installed
DMZ Site Server --> Primary Site:
TCP 135, 49152-65535
TCP 445
TCP 135, 24158 (fixed with
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb219447(v=vs.85).aspx )
TCP 80, 443
If you have some other roles installed, please consult this page:

SCCM 2012 Client and Workstation Audio and Video Problems

SCCM 2012 SP1 environment.
We have pushed out the SCCM Client successfully to our systems - however we have found that on some computers the SCCM Client is causing an audio/video problem - specifically it appears to be with computers that connect monitors via DVI. As an example,
on my laptop (Dell e6420, Win7 x64) I have a docking station that connects my laptop to 2 external monitors. With the SCCM Client installed I cannot listen to music or watch videos - the result is an unusable choppiness/stuttering listening to music
and with a video the audio and video get out of sync. As well, my mouse no longer functions smoothly - it jumps around. This happens whether accessing content from a website or simply a local file on my computer. If I uninstall the SCCM client,
the issue goes away entirely. I have tried disabling the SMS and Remote control services but doing so does not resolve the issue, only a client uninstall. Note that this only happens when the laptop is on the docking station - with DVI - it doesn't
happen when the laptop is running without an external monitor or if plugged into an HDMI output device.
At first we believed this was limited to this model of laptop in our environment (Win8 or Win7 - both result in the same problem), but now we are hearing about "audio and video issues" on Dell 990 workstations as well. I believe these stations
have DVI connected monitors. Driver updates do not appear to resolve the issue.
Has anyone experienced this in their environment? Note that this happens on imaged workstations and workstations installed from a vanilla Windows 7 or 8 CD.

Try installing the client without Silverlight and see if it helps (this is only used for the Application Catalog).

SCCM 2007 Migration to SCCM 2012

Hello,
I read http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/58ba35e5-d84e-4741-8089-624f5269a2ca/sccm-2012-design-consideration-advice?forum=configmanagergeneral&prof=required with the following notes:
Secondary vs. DP is a subjective call based on two factors: client count and available bandwidth. More clients and/or less bandwidths means secondary site, less clients and/or more bandwidth means DP. Both use a server OS so there's really no cost difference, just some added complexity for a secondary site. Without knowing the bandwidth, no way for me to be able to say one way or the other.
As for IBCM, correct, it's no a primary site server, it's simply a site system that typically hosts an MP, DP, and SUP. The App Catalog Website Point is also applicable.
Are you planning on managing legacy mobile devices or Mac OSX? If not, the Enrollment Proxy Point is not needed -- it's not applicable to IBCM anyway to my knowledge.
Also, the FSP must be on a separate site system so that clients can communicate with it via HTTP.
I have for now two sites:
- 25,000 Desktops on one site
- 1,500 Servers on the second site
in SCCM 2007 I had three sites: One Parent doing the reporting and two child sites handling the inventory, distribution, etc... (No SUP do far)
I have on each child sites 1 DP.
What should be changed for SCCM 2012?
What is "More Clients" or "Less Clients" ?
"More Bandwidth" or "Less Bandwidth"?
Thanks,

Hello Dom,
If you have Two Primary servers you may need to plan for a CAS (Central administration site), in SCCM 2012 when you have more than one primary server you need a CAS to connect them. But remember the CAS does not
process any client data, DPs nor MPs (hardware nor software inventory), and bear in mind that a primary stand-alone can support up to 100,000 clients, and in SCCM 2012 the big idea is to simplify the hierarchy. So if you have a primary site you can manage
a lot of clients, and you can separate them in your case in boundaries, boundaries in 2012 do two things: Site assignment and content lookup, but they only work with boundary groups, in which you set the limits in the boundary, and latter associate it with
a boundary group.
You can then just have a primary server and remote DPs, and decide how the clients will look for content in the DPs with the boundaries and boundary groups. The bandwidth needs to be really important about sending
packages between sites, or if the boundaries are not configured properly the clients can end up looking for content where it should not. Also don’t forget about fallback packages and content, because DPs and packages can be set as fallback, so if clients
cannot find in a local DP they will search those packages.
Below a few references that may help you with your migration.
Any more questions, please let me know.

SCCM 2012 R2 +Intune Subscription

Hi All,
If I subscribe for Windows Intune Subscription, then I will get SCCM 2012 R2 included as part of Intune.
Question is how I can install SCCM in this case on my on-premise server? Will SCCM 2012 R2 stop working if Intune Subscription expires?
N.A.Malik

From Windows Intune Licensing Brief:
Under all Windows Intune licensing scenarios, you are licensed for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager and System Center Endpoint Protection. As a result, you have the flexibility to manage your devices in the most effective way for your organization—whether
in the cloud, on-premises, or a combination of a cloud and on-premises solution.
So you could manage non-Intune connected devices with ConfigMgr.
And:
"System Center Configuration Manager and System Center Endpoint Protection software included in Windows Intune is provided on a subscription, nonperpetual basis. If you cancel your subscription or allow your subscription to expire, you must uninstall the
software."
If you buy Intune licenses for 250 users, you can manage any devices (mobile, PCs) of those users (up to 5 devices/user) in any way you like with Intune/ConfigMgr.
Quite flexible! :-)

Thansk Panu for reply.
If I purchase Intune Subscription then:
SQL 2012 Standard + SCCM 2012 R2 will be free?
Of course maybe limited to mobile devices only.

SCCM 2012 R2 Empty Query in Collection

Now, I just discovered yesterday where I created Collection with query but resulted NONE. I know there's no problem with the query itself because I created the same one within the query itself and it give me the result.
Here's another problem with my CAS & Primary Site SCCM 2012 R2 with CU1:
1. Created X64 (Servers & Workstations) Collection with membership rules:
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM on SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.ResourceID
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.SystemType = "x64-based PC"
It doesn't give me anything (blank no computer names) even after I refresh the collection.
BUT, when I created under \Monitoring\Overview\Queries\Results for X64 (Servers & Workstations)
I could see the result of it.
Is it my SQL has problem? I'm using SQL 2012 SP1.
I even updated with CU2 now in Production but it still the same thing. I have no problem with this query above in my test environment.
Have you come across with this issue? Thanks, Reza

You might have used a empty limiting collection

Can anyone explain how SCCM 2012 applies its firewallpolicy.

Can anyone explain how SCCM 2012 applies its firewall policy?
My understanding is that it does this by altering the local policy on the client computers.
What i am seeing though is that administrators can still change these options manually.
But if i change the options locally sccm overides the option after a while and greys out the option so it can no longer be changed manually.
How do i make sure that a user cannot simply open the windows firewall settings and turn of the firewall?
Do i have to use GPO's?
And is this working as intended?

You're correct ConfigMgr uses local policies to manage everything, including the limited firewall options. If you really want to manage the Windows Firewall on a more detailed level you've got to look at GPO's, as they'll provide you with a lot more options.
For an overview of the capabilities via ConfigMgr, see:

SCCM 2012 - Trying Evaluation version

Hello all,
I'm trying out the 180 day evaluation version of SCCM 2012 R2 downloaded from Microsoft as part of a small POC, (VHD format) which is pre-configured and installed with all the pre-requisites.
As part of this exercise, I wanted to perform a simple discovery of devices in SCCM 2012 but after enabling all the "discovery methods" I do not see any devices in the collection after running the discovery. The VHD format is configured with a
'contoso' domain and this feature is 'locked' as a result I'm not able to configure this 'vhd' format to our internal domain to help discovery.
My question: is there a way to by-pass this domain and perform discovery or is this a limitation in the evaluation version of SCCM? or am I missing something?
Any help on this is appreciated.
thanks

I don't believe so. You should just download the bits from the VLC and install it for yourself. You could have a small test environment in no time at all. Collocate your PS and SQL server, add a DP, and you should be close to lab testing.
Make sure you are not running discovery across your whole environment if this is just a lab.
Best, Jacob I'm a PC.

Client manageability in SCCM 2012

Hi All
I am Planning to have test SCCM 2012 environment and for that i need few architecture suggestions. Kindly suggest me on the same so that i can implement an effective infrastructure design.
Total Number of Clients to Support - 58000
First Draft version of design consist of 1 Primary Site and 3 Seconadry Sites. Kindly confirm if 1 primary and 3 secondary site will be able to cater 58000 clients. As per my understanding secondary site supports 5000 clients and Primary sites can support
25000 Clients.
Also confirm that clients under secondary site will be considered as client of primary site (linit of 25000) or seperately counted (25k +5K).
Regards
Regards Suresh

Kent's book talks about a limitation of 50 000 when using a local SQL server.
