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.

  • How can I determine what sites are being referenced within Central Admin Upgrade and Migration Manage Databases Upgrade Status?

    When I go to Central Admin > Upgrade and Migration  > Manage Databases Upgrade Status, I have 2 content databases which have the status:
    Database is up to date, but some sites are not completely upgraded.
    How can I determine which sites are not completely upgraded?

    Manage Databases Upgrade Status will provide you all active and offline DB details, you can get same result
    using below PowerShell cmdlet.
    Get-SPDatabase and Get-SPContentDatabase will provide all active database/Content DB in Farm which include Service application db, central admin DB.
    Get-SPDatabase | Format-Table Name, ID
    Coming back to your question, if you find that there are some site are not completely upgraded then run below command and understand the cause if issue on specific DB.
    Test-SPContentDatabase WSS_ContentDB_Name
    If you find any missing file issue in DB then resolve these issue to upgrade content database.
    (verify all customizations referenced within the content database are also installed in the web application. This cmdlet can be issued
    against a content database currently attached to the farm, or a content database that is not connected to the farm )
    Use the Upgrade-SPContentDatabase cmdlet
    to resume a failed database upgrade or begin a build-to-build database upgrade against a SharePoint content database
    Upgrade-SPContentDatabase WSS_Content

  • 2013 SP Site Collection and Farm Admin permissions and cannot access site

    I am Farm Admin and Site Collection admin on my 2013 SP server and CAN access Central Admin, but CANNOT open the site without being promted for user name and password.  When I enter the user name and password they are not accepted. 
    This is on my production server.  I have NO PROBLEMs with the staging server.  The 2 are set up exactly the same.
    Any suggestions? 

    Discussion
    Farm Administrators are not automatically able to access site collections.  They can however add themselves to the site collection administrators group.  Additional detail:
    Permissions for site collection administrators - scroll down to the
    SharePoint farm administrators section (midway down) and look for the
    Note.
    Resolution
    Add your farm administrators account to the site collection administrators group. You can do this two ways:
    Go: Central administration > Application Management > Site Collections > Change site collection administrators
    Go: [your site collection] > Site Settings > Users and Permissions > Site collection administrators.

    Here's an interesting bit: iTunes will let me restore my iPod touch from backup: it's still running iOS 4.3.3. I figured as much... there's backups showing in the Preferences -> Devices list for both devices (and even my old, long gone iPod touch 2G), but my iPhone (on iOS5) isn't giving me any such option. I remember I had to downgrade before to get the backup restored (something went haywire in the setup assistant, and I couldn't restore a backup from iTunes there)... If it was possible to go to iOS 5.0 rather than 5.0.1 I would just do the same thing again, but iOS 5.0.1 isn't an option. I attached a screenshot. Hopefully Apple can get this nonsense sorted out; I think iOS 5 might be the root of this, somehow.

    Hi Amanda,
    Software applications are usually installed in the Applications folder on the Macintosh HD and are accessible to all users.
    I would advise you to check the Applications folder and see if your software is in there.
    Next step would be to Control Click or Right Click on the application and choose "Get Info" and make sure the permissions are set to "Read & Write" for all users. The article below provides more details:

    You may need to contact Adobe Support if this does not resolve your issue:

  • When using google I am transferred to other web search sites and not the sites I am clicking on.

    While using Google I am being connected to other search sites and not the sites I am clicking to go to.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://

    It has nothing to do with Firefox -- it sounds like the sites you're trying to go to are already taken down. If that's the case, try clicking the Google's results' "Cached" button, or just try the other results Google gave you.

  • SCCM 2012 - Question before deployment (WSUS/SCUP and other feature).

    Hello,
    Sorry for the question but I'm a newbie about Microsoft SCCM architecture...
    I have to deploy a new WSUS (4.0) server for my new servers (Windows 2012) and I ask myself how I can install him correctly with idea of a futur SSCM system.
    About WSUS, this  server is only for the new servers (Windows 2012) which can not receive update by our current WSUS server (Windows 2003 WSUS 3.0 SP1). I think I need also upgrade my AD schema to the 2012 level before ?
    And from what I understood of SSCM especially for software management (deploy and updates), there is a specific role "Software Update Point" which uses WSUS for Microsoft Product and SCUP for the third party tools.
    I am wondering which server configuration is the best for my future SSCM architecture.
    Firstly, can I setup my WSUS to a new server and add the role "SSCM - Software Update Point" on the same server later ? If it's possible, what type of server is recommended ? 
    Just for the WSUS feature I had expected a VM with a dual core CPU, 4GB RAM, 40GB for the system and 100GB only for the update data (a total of 250 servers and clients which can use 2003,2008,2012,XP,7,Office2010,Exchange 2010).
    Regarding SSCM in general, Is it recommended to have multiple server for SSCM for a total of 100 servers and 150 clients ? If yes can we separate them by role ? 
    I think I will have another questions later but it's a good start.
    Thanks in advance for your good advice !
    Have a nice day,
    Clement

    Hi,
    Thanks for your advice, I have many questions because I did not want setup an SSCM now but it seems it's the better solution (my first need is to deploy MS update on my new servers).
    If I install my WSUS service on my server I could not reuse it directly for my SSCM (because I must start with a fresh installation of WSUS?).
    Regarding the hardware,  I thinks that minimum requirements isn't a good idee (see bellow).
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682077.aspx#BKMK_MinHWReqs that 
    Hardware component
    Requirement
    Processor
    Minimum: AMD Opteron, AMD Athlon 64, Intel Xeon with Intel EM64T support, Intel Pentium IV with EM64T support
    Minimum: 1.4 GHz
    RAM
    Minimum: 2 GB
    Free disk space
    Available: 10 GB
    Total: 50 GB
    Do you believe that an dual core with 4GB is correct ? 
    And for the disk at least 100GB just for the WSUS and 200GB for the storage of system image and package deployment (third party tools) ?
    Edit : value is totaly different here :
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh846235
    Stand-alone primary site
    Up to 100,000 clients
    SQL Server is installed on the site server computer
    8 cores (Intel Xeon E5504 or comparable CPU)
    32 GB of RAM
    550 GB hard disk space for the operating system, SQL Server, and all database files
    I thinks if we deploy an SSCM, we will use it for the deployment of system (clients), applications (Office, third party tools), updates (MS and third party tools) but also for the managing of our infrastructure (SSCM seems very powerfull).

  • Sccm 2012 r2 console, devices, column layout and order is reset to default

    Hi :)
    I am running sccm 2012 r2 console on sccm server. I've added some columns into Assets and Management, Devices (beside default name, client, site code, client activity) ie. client version, endpoint protection enabled etc. I've left console open up and running
    and after some when I get back, column layout is reset to default 4 columns :(
    Can you fix please that system center consoles remember column layout and order ? (sc vmm 2012 r2 does not remember only when you add column maximum memory). :(

    This has to be something to do with the consolesettings.dat file. Do you have folder redirection set up on the AppData\Roaming folder? I have managed to recreate your issue using the following method:
    1. Add in some columns to the Devices view.
    2. Go to the \\server\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ConfigMgr10 and deleted the consolesettings.dat file.
    3. Relaunced the console and the columns have reset to default. 
    4. Set the columns again, closed down the console and the .dat file is recreated.
    5. Re launch the SCCM console and the settings are retained.
    I suggest you check either the C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ConfigMgr10\consolesettings.dat. or \\server\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ConfigMgr10\consolesettings.dat and the time stamp of the file. Do some tests and recreate
    the steps above. 
    Somewhere along the line your dat file is being removed with your bespoke settings.
    Cheers

    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I normally use this solution from Chris Nackers to deploy the latest EP definitions during OSD and deploy a custom EP policy, it works great. The policy will be downloaded when the client is registered.

  • Deploying Office 2013 through SCCM 2012 SP1 leaves Office 2010 Tools and Sharepoint behind

    I apologize in advance, but I have searched similar topics to this, but I haven't seen an answer yet that describes where and how to accomplish this.  I'm also a bit new to SCCM and I'm still finding the nuances.
    Scenario:  Running SCCM 2012 SP1.  Office 2013 32bit is added as an application and deployed properly with an accompanied .msp file stored in the source folder.  The configuration is to have Office
    2010 uninstalled silently.  The deployment runs flawless and the user doesn't know otherwise.  Success in anyone's book, right?
    Except... Office 2010 Tools and SharePoint Workspace 2010 are left over.  Manual uninstallation is not an option.  This is for hundreds of PC's in several global locations. 
    I've seen it hinted to write a script.  That's fine I suppose, but what do I write, where do I store the script, and can I have SCCM2012 automatically run it before the installation of 2013? 
    Our favorite IT tool Google hasn't quite returned what I'm looking for.   Does anyone here have ideas or perhaps have experienced a similar issue?
    Thanks,

    1st, save the following content as a XML file on a server share, named as "config.xml".
    <Configuration Product="ProPlus">
    <Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />
    <Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never" />
    </Configuration>
    Run the following script during or before the installation of Office 2013:
    "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE14\Office Setup Controller\setup.exe" /uninstall ProPlus /config \\servershare\Config.xml

  • Multi-Master-Replication between 6.3 (32bit) and 11g (64bit) possible?

    Hello,
    is it possible to run a multi-master-replication between a 6.3 32bit and a 11g 64bit Directory Server instance (both on linux)? I'm running into a
    B1 - Client request contains an ASN.1 BER tag that is corrupt or connection aborted
    message on the 'dsconf accord-repl-agmt' step, while 'dsconf info' works for both servers.

    Edited by: 813510 on 19.11.2010 01:55

    MMR works between 6.3 and 11g and is platform-agnostic so it works across platforms.
    Please check if the max-ber-size parameter is identical on both servers.
