SCCM 2012 Site Server Restore

Our Sccm site server needs to be restored from backup, and the site server is a virtual machine. This server holds all site system roles, and connects to a remote sql server that houses the site database. I will like to restore the site server virtual
machine from our vm backup solution. Is this a viable solution for restoring a sccm site server?

Therefore, If I restore a site server from a backup created seven days ago to its original location, are you saying this will not work or it is not a supported recovery option? I don't have a native backup of my site database nor a backup of my site server
via Backup Site Server maintenance task. All virtual machines are backed up via our vm backup solution. What options do I have to recover my site server while the Sql server hosting my site database is completely functional, and none of the requirements for
restoring a site server are available?

  • Is the distribution point role required on an SCCM 2012 site server?

    I am wondering if the distribution point role is required on an SCCM 2012 site server. 
    We have an installation of SCCM 2012 SP1 with a site server, and two remote DPs. 
    I would like to remove the DP role from the site server, and stand up another server (2012) at the same location, making it a DP and also have it hold the WSUS content.
    I was successful in creating the DP on the new server.  I distributed all of our packages to the new server. 
    I then removed the packages from the DP on the site server, and removed the DP role from the site server. 
    After making these changes, we lost the ability to deploy packages, either from the new DP server, or from the previously existing DPs that were at other locations. 
    Deployment status in the SCCM console showed that clients were “waiting for content”.
    I found that adding the DP role back to the site server, and distributing packages to it corrected the problem. 
    Deployment resumed after doing that.  Is it necessary to have packages on a DP on the site server? 
    We want to virtualize the server, and would like to make it as small as possible to facility restores.

  • Is there a way to change an existing SCCM 2012 site server intranet FQDN name to lowercase?

    Does anyone know if there is a way to change the intranet (not internet) FQDN name of an existing SCCM 2012 site server to all lowercase letters?  You used to be able to do this in SCCM 2007.

    I had a problem with WSUS updates not working via SCCM 2012 R2 during an operating system deployment. When examining the c:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log I found the following errors:
    WARNING: SendRequest failed with hr = 80072ee2. Proxy List used: <****:8080;****:8080> Bypass List used : <(null)> Auth Schemes used : <>
    + Last proxy send request failed with hr = 0x80072EE2, HTTP status code = 0
    WARNING: GetConfig failure, error = 0x80072EE2, soap client error = 5, soap error code = 0, HTTP status code = 200
    After a LONG time researching this error I found it was related to the fact we were using a WPAD proxy implementation and apparently this doesnt cope well with uppercase characters for the WSUS server URL. I changed our GPO to be using lowercase lettering
    but when examining the WindowsUpdate log again it still showed as being in uppercase. In the end I found that despite what your GPO setting says, this can get over written by the SCCM site server's own published WSUS location. You can check this by entering
    the following command:
    wmic /namespace:"\\root\CCM\SoftwareUpdates\WUAHandler" PATH CCM_UpdateSource
    Unfortunatelty in SCCM 2012 there is no GUI way to amend the intranet FQDN used for the WSUS location so I then turned to directly editing the database (which anyone will tell you is not recommended, but by this point i was DESPERATE!).
    In the end it solved all my troubles so if anyone finds themselves in this situation, you can fix it by going to the SCCM database and within the table 'WSUSServerLocations', change the WSUSServerName to be in lowercase letters.

  • Windows 8.1 system with new Office 2013 install not pulling down any Office 2013 updates from my SCCM 2012 SP1 server

    Hi,
    I've just setup a new Windows 8.1 system and added to my SCCM 2012 SP1 server and all is good and it pulled down all the correct Windows updates and pulls down automatically the FEP updates that are distributed from SCCM 2012 daily. 
    I just installed Office 2013 on this system and have activated it as necessary.  The problem is that the system doesn't seem to be pulling down any of the Office 2013 updates that have distributed thru SCCM.  I have other systems with
    Office 2013 installed and they have pulled down Office 2013 updates in the past when I published them.
    If I look at the Office 2013 updates in the SCCM console software section, I can see that for example it shows that Office 2013 SP1 (x86) is needed by one system and installed on 8 other systems and shows as downloaded and deployed.
    I've restarted the new system multiple times and also tried to force a software update check from the Configuration Manager applet but nothing seems to happen.
    What can I check to try and determine what the problem is?
    Thanks in advance,
    Nick

    Yes, the 8.1 system is a member of collection where the update deployment is targeted.
    Are there any specific logs I should check in the client?  If I check the WindowsUpdate.log I can see messages about the machine pulling down the FEP updates but that's all it appears to be doing.
    in CCM\logs, focus on the updatehandler and updatedeployment, to begin with

  • Patches not visible in SCCM 2007 Site server even after approving the patches in WSUS

    Hi,
    The patches are not appearing in SCCM 2007 site server after approving the same patches in WSUS.
    Below are the patches.
    MS14-080: Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer - Windows Server 2008 SP2 - IE 7 - KB3008923 [23,186.1]

    MS13-014: Vulnerability in NFS Server Could Allow Denial of Service - Windows Server 2008 R2 Gold/SP1 (x64) [1,7.7]
    I have approved the above patches in WSUS and ran syncronization. The log wsyncmgr.log show that synchronization is done and even all child sites are syncronized. But I am unable to find the above even in the parent site. Checked all the SUP settings and
    all the 2008 server updates are set and marked to download.
    Please help me out on fixing this.

    So you should NEVER approve anything in WSUS. This will cause problems with your clients. Honestly since you approved things in WSUS, I would uninstall WSUS and reinstall it, reinstall the SUP, this will clear up any issues that now exist.

  • SCCM 2012 Site Design with multiple agency seperation

    I have read through some of the other posts, and none quite seem to match my scenario.
    I have a new task to design a new SCCM 2012 Site. At first I thought this was going to be easy, but it seems to have become a bit of a challenge. I have been tasked with designing and implementing a site for about 45k clients that span about 25 agencies.
    all of these machines are part of a top level AD forest, but are broken into domains under that. The forest admins have to be able to mandate software/updates from the top level for all machines, but each agency will have to manage their own machines/content.
    If it wasn't for the political aspect of this project, everything would be easier.
    I originally thought about a CAS/PS scenario, but when I tested this, I found that every PS connected to the CAS shares everything between each other, and that will not work.
    So I need to be able to design a site where each agency will be able to create/manage their own content/machines that is not shared with everything else. They need to have a feeling like they are managing their own PS. And need to have a top level that can
    mandate software/updates to everything and also get a complete inventory of all machines in all agencies. Can this be done with RBA and a single site, or is there a better option for this?
    At this point there is no need to consider bandwidth because most of the systems are on the same campus network, and remote DPs and other site systems can be added and adjusted as needed. I just need to know if and how this can be done best.
    Please let me know if you need anymore information.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hi,

  • Boot an ESX 5.1 VM to my SCCM 2012 (WDS) server?

    Hi folks,
    I just got my SCCM 2012 server installed, configured a distribution point, published new boot.wim to distribution point.
    I am trying to test booting up a 'bare metal' ESXi 5.1 VM to my SCCM 2012 (WDS) server, but fails with attached error.
    Configuration Manager is looking for policy.
    Anyone have a suggestion?
    Thanks, romatlo

    Thank you so much for responding!  I must admit that this is my first install.  :)
    I could not find that option, so I deleted/recreated my task sequence, then found it as part of Deploy option.
    I deployed the task sequence to unknown computers but I still get that message and will not boot up correctly.
    I've pasted last part of my SMSPXE.log in case you see something definitive.
    I did not have my WDS server role installed when enabling PXE on my DP, maybe that messed me up.
    Thanks again, I may snapshot my VM here and start over on install if there is not a clue.

  • How does WSUS work when an SCCM 2012 R2 server is newly installed? Should WSUS be installed and configured on same server?

    Let me clarify.
    We had a functional WSUS server delivering our updates to ours workstations. The location of the WSUS server was pushed out by Group policies.
    Later, an SCCM 2012 R2 installation was installed. The original WSUS server was removed. Now WSUS type services appear to be broken.
    I tried to start WSUS on the SCCM 2012 R2 server and it does not start. (I assume its not configured).
    I want to get WSUS running again but am not sure how to do this safely in conjunction with our SCCM 2012 R2 installation. Do I just reinstall WSUS on the SCCM server and configure? Or is there other preferred methods?
    I was not involved in SCCM's installation, so I do not know what was done.
    Geoff.

    Update functionality is provided via the Software Update Point
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712312.aspx
    ... which requires WSUS to be installed - it basically takes control of WSUS.
    Any existing group policies defining WSUS servers should be removed so that the SCCM client (which I assume is installed on computers already) can configure accordingly. Otherwise you will have group policy and SCCM client over writing one another to configure
    the update server

  • Can I have an SCCM 2012 R2 server and a SCCM 2012 SP1 server in the same site?

    We are currently using SCCM 2012 SP1/MDT 2012 Update 1 to deploy Windows 7, and to migrate existing XP installs to Windows 7 (using the offline USMT functionality in MDT).  We are moving forward with Windows 8.1, and understand that
    we need to upgrade our SCCM infrastructure to SCCM 2012 R2/MDT 2013.  We also understand that this will cause us to lose the ability to migrate XP machines, since MDT 2013 uses a newer version of USMT that doesn’t support XP.
    What do we need to do to continue to support our XP migrations, and enable deployments of Windows 8.1?
    Can we have two SCCM servers in the same Site running different versions of SCCM? Do we need a separate site? 

    You don't explicitly need ConfigMgr 2012 R2 to support Win 8.1. SP1 CU3 will suffice although managing a few things like boot images is a little more difficult: http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/10/21/how-to-enable-windows-8.1-deployment-in-sc-2012-configmgr-sp1-cu3.aspx
    You could create two separate site hierarchies, but that would be painful and involve tons of duplication. There would be other issues also if the systems are located on the same subnets and in the same AD forest.
    The best option is to get rid of XP. EOL is in less than 30 days!
    Next best is to stay on SP1 CU3 until you get rid of XP. I know that sucks, but keeping XP around is the root cause of this and many other coming issues in any organization wanting to keep it around.

  • SCCM 2012 on Server 2012 and WSUS 3.0 SP2 on Server 2008

    We are installing SCCM 2012 SP1 fresh into our development environment - the primary site server and the database (SQL 2012) are both being installed on Server 2012.
    We have an existing WSUS box on a Windows 2008 (not R2) server - the WSUS server version is 3.2.7600.256.  We have set this up as the software update point.
    For the purposes of this discussion, these are the server names (obviously obfuscated):
    Primary site server:  sccm.domain.local
    Database server:  sccmdb.domain.local
    WSUS server:  wsus.domain.local
    On the primary SCCM server, I've installed the WSUS user interface (Install-WindowsFeature -Name UpdateServices-UI), in order to work with the remote WSUS server.
    Updates synchronization appears to be working fine, but when I try to setup client distribution via SUP, I'm getting the following error in the Application event log:
    Log Name:      Application

    Description:

    to the Software Updates Point.
    As well as this in the WMC.log:

    It would seem obvious that this is because of a mismatch in versions between the WSUS server version on wsus.domain.local, compared to the UpdateServices UI on sccm.domain.local.
    Is there a way around this, without having to upgrade the WSUS server to Server 2012?
    Thanks for any thoughts you may have!

    Not really. As mentioned though, even the separate WSUS server is probably overkill. In ConfigMgr, WSUS is used to handle the update catalog and that's it. Clients do *not* report status to the WSUS instance and do *not* download updates from the WSUS instance.
    No management is ever done in WSUS.
    So, in reality, once a month, clients connect to WSUS to download the delta update catalog (delta compared to what they currently have) which usually comes out to about a few hundred KB (yes KB, not MB) -- this download is done via BITS. The server also
    syncs the catalog from the WSUS instance, via the SUP, in a similar fashion. If you are using SCEP, the frequency will be greater, but the deltas will be much smaller.
    EULAs, as needed, are also stored in WSUS and accessed by clients -- these are also quite small only a select few updates requires them.
    That's it. Standing up a dedicated WSUS instance means having a server sitting there doing almost nothing else.
    If you are concerned about load on the site server, then you should create a separate site system that contains the MP, SUP (and WSUS instance), and DP. Then, for HA purposes, you can simply build a second site system with these three roles also and HA will
    essentially be automatic (from a client functionality perspective).

  • SCCM 2012 secondary server

    Hi All,
    I am trying to install secondary site server from primary site server. All the prerequisites like .NET 3.5, 4, RDC, BITS are installed. Primary site server name is added In the local admin on the server. But still the installation is getting failed.
    I got mcafee enabled on the machine. Is it blocking bootstrap file

  • Inplace upgrade SCCM 2012 R2 server OS from 2008 R2 to 2012R2 and SQL 2008R2 to 2012

    Hi
    Is it possible to do inplace upgrade?
    I have Windows Server 2008 R2, SCCM 2012 R2 CU1, SQL 2008 R2, WSUS and MDT 2013.
    Can I upgrade to Windows server 2012 R2 and SQL server 2012?
    Are there any catches which I must know before upgrade?
    Do I start upgrade with OS and then SQL?

    The in-place upgrade of the operating system is not supported...
