SCCM 2012 SP1 UEFI, GPT and MBR disks

Hi,
I am currently building a task sequence around Windows 7 x64 Pro SP1, and am having trouble with the partitioning of disks. The model of Laptop is P701/2:
http://globalsp.ts.fujitsu.com/dmsp/Publications/public/ds-LIFEBOOK-P701.pdf
http://globalsp.ts.fujitsu.com/dmsp/Publications/public/ds-LIFEBOOK-P702.pdf
When the TS runs for both machines, it decides it is a UEFI machine, and will only partition with GPT disks. In the smsts.log:
"UEFI: True"
My issue is that for support reasons I must be able to partition with MBR.
These were previously installed with XP on MBR partitions. I can partition with MBR in the TS successfully, but when it tries to apply the OS it is looking for UEFI boot loaders and fails .
"Unable to find the partition that contains the OS boot loaders. Please ensure the hard disks have been properly partitioned
Unspecified error (Error: 80004005; Source: Windows)"
It installs fine when I partition with GPT disks. So, considering the machine is obviously fine with MBR partitions, is there a way of forcing SCCM to ignore any UEFI setting it is picking up and allow me to use MBR partitions?
thanks
J

Ok, thanks for all assistance, I have found the answer to force WinPE not to boot in UEFI mode:
Boot in UEFI mode: To prevent Windows
PE from booting in BIOS mode, remove the bootmgr file
on the root of the media.
Boot in BIOS mode: To prevent Windows PE from booting
in UEFI mode, remove the efi folder
on the root of the media.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn293283.aspx
I remove the EFI folder from my WinPE 4.0 USB stick, and I now get this in the smsts.log:
"UEFI: False"
and it builds successfully on MBR.

Issue with SCCM 2012 SP1 U5 upgrade and client published version

Recently we upgraded our SCCM server to SP1 U5, and our published and available client version is still at 5.00.7804.1000 instead of 5.00.7804.1600. We ran the hotfix to upgrade it and it looked like everything had went through. Does this not also
upgrade the client? It doesn't seem like you can run the hotfix again after you've already installed it once to repair either. Is there another way to update the published version inside the console? We have it as a package right now to deploy to all the systems
but I was hoping we could upgrade the internal one and let it run more automatically. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

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?

Cannot install SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4

Hi,
I just tried to apply CU4 over one of my SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 deployments and I receive the following message during the initial verification phase:
Server update status: This update applies to product version 5.0.7804. The installed version on this computer is 5.0.7958.1000. This update is not applicable to this computer.
Console update status: No serviceable configuration manager role was found on the local system.
If I engage the verification phase on this installation for CU2 and CU3 there is no problem at all, so this must be a CU4 package specific error.
Anybody experiencing the same behavior ?

The latest CU that I see for SCCM 2012 SP1 is SP1 Cumulative Update 3, are you sure you are working with the proper file? .
CU4 was released this week:

SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 migrated DP shows package status "unknown"

I have a SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 environment and have shared SCCM 2007 distribution points.
Today I migrated one of the DP's which seems to work well.
However all my packages shows now the status "unknown" for this migrated DP.
This is a problem which should be fixed in CU4 according to the CU4 description. But it is not :-(
Any idea how to solve this ? R2 install ?

Some additional information:
I noticed that the package sources are still available at the "old" ditribution point share abd not on the new sccm 2012 distribution point share. When performing actions described in step 3 below the package becomes available on the distribution point
share......then i guess i can remove the content from the "old" distribution point share ????
I noticed that when a package got the status "unknown" for de migrated DP the following action fix the problem:
--> i remove the DP from the package and immediately add it again, the package status becomes "Successful".....hummm....ok....maybe a script could be created for this
I noticed that when a package got the status "unknown" and the package is also located on the "distribution point share" then following will fix the issue:
--> edit the package and remove the migrated DP and remove the checkbox for string on the distribution point share. Then add the DP again, click Apply and then set the checkbox for storing on the distribution point share and Apply again. Then wait and package
will become available Successful and the package will become available on the distribution point share
But i have 800 packages and 50 to be migrated DP's.....this is not a solution....but what is ????
Any help, ideas, tips, hints, recommendations ?
My overal thoughts are that migrating of a SCCM 2007 DP is not really working at all !!!!!
Or does someone has other experience with e.g. R2 installed ? If so then I will upgrade first...

SCCM 2012 SP1 is Running on SQL Server 2012 with NO CU

I am working in an org that has SCCM 2012 SP1, it is and always has been running on SQL Server 2012 RTM, with NO CU installed it seems (judging by the file versions 11.0.2100.60, which are not the same as as documented here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2703275).
sigh..........
So before I upgrade to R2 I will ensure I installed SP2 and CU3 onto SQL Server.
However, I am concerned about WHY SCCM 2012 SP1 requires SQL Server 2012 CU2 as a minimum and what damage may have been done as a result of this configuration?
Are there any actions that can be performed as remediation or health check?
Can anyone speculate?

However, I am concerned about WHY SCCM 2012 SP1 requires SQL Server 2012 CU2 as a minimum
Because the Microsoft product group decided it that way. All supported SQL versions are listed here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682077.aspx#BKMK_SupConfigSQLDBconfig
Damage? Hard (impossible) to tell. You would have seen errors in various components if there were problems.

SCCM 2012 SP1 - Evil Folders in Reporting Services - What Are They and How to Remove Them

Hello All,
There are a lot of sub-folders in the http://CentralSiteSCCM/ReportServer. They are like:
<dir> Config_Mgr_CEN
<dir> Config_Mgr_CEN.OLD.0
<dir> Config_Mgr_CEN.OLD.1
<dir> Config_Mgr_CEN.OLD.10
<dir> Config_Mgr_CEN.OLD.100
<dir> Config_Mgr_CEN.OLD.1000
Only <dir> Config_Mgr_CEN is properly populated with the correct set of the default folders.
Would you be so kind to advise on:
What are they?
How to remove them?
What to do in order for them not to appear any more?
Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Mike,
I ran into an issue when I did the SP1 upgrade where a majority of our reports were duplicated. I created a script to delete these duplicate reports and I've adjusted it to work for your situation. You can find the original thread here, if you're interested:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmanagergeneral/thread/dc9aa3b4-cea9-4a07-87ca-2795a2dbc04e
You'll need to know your SCCM site code and the server name to run this script.

Standard disclaimer: While this script worked just fine for me in my environment, I make no guarantees that it will work anywhere else. I've attempted to make this script as user friendly and generic as possible, but it may require slight tweaking to work properly.

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.

WSUS 4.0 and SCCM 2012 SP1 Sync Errors

SCCM 2012 SP1 is installed on a Windows 2012 Std server with the WSUS 4.0 Role installed.
All other links I have found list a 2008 R2 Server with WSUS 3.0 SP2 hence all the "fixes" revolve around hot fixes and patches/settings for WSUS 3.0 or 2008 R2 systems.
WSUS is set for port 8530/8531
SCCM SUP is set for ports 8530/8531
Both are on same machine (single site SCCM 2012 SP1 System)
What does Bad Configuration, SUPs present but no default SUP
mean and how do I fix it?

SCCM 2012 SP1 - Build and Capture - ReCapture impossible

Hi all
i upgrade my SCCM 2012 RTM to SCCM 2012 SP1 yesterday. Today i started a recapture of my Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 Base Image.
For that i have 2 VMs located in different SCCM Collections. And a Build and Capture Task Sequence is deployed to the collections.
Before SP1 the behavior was:
- Reset Required PXE Deployment in SCCM for the VMs
- Start VM
- VM boots with PXE
- VM installs and capture the Installation
And that i could do all the time so often as i want.
Now with SP1 it is the same procedure but just for one time. After one success Build and Capture Task, the vm is unable to do the task sequence again. The VM is booting into the PXE and then i can see in the smsts log:
There are no task sequences available to this computer
But there are. The Task Sequence is set to "Always rerun".
The only "fix" is to completely recreate the computer item in sccm.
What is here wrong? Is this a known bug?

Hi, your problem is that when you deploy the task over the collation you only specified "media and PXE" was available to and probably the machines that you try to capture already had the sccm client. You can try to deploy the sequence task to a collation
including the the option "configuration manager, media and PXE", or you can also deploy the task sequence to de "unknown devices" collation and delete the objects of the two virtual machines in configuration manager

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

Deploy Java Updates using SCCM 2012 SP1 and SCUP 2011

What is the best way to deploy Java updates using sccm 2012 SP1 and SCUP 2011?

I didn´t find Kent´s blog useful when talking about Java. I can deploy Adobe products fine, but I have to import Java manually because not having Shavlik certificate. So with that said, I have the fallowing problem;
I have full offline installer unpacked, .msi file and Data1.cab. When I´m importing these binaries to SCUP, I only can point to .msi. Doing that, installation fails in client side fails because of lack of data1.cab fine, which is the main file.
Should I use some other downloaded files of Java? I couldn´t find any Java-update-file only type of files to download.

SCCM 2012 SP1 and SCEP for Mac

Hello all,
We have SCCM 2012 SP1 with SECP installed and working well for Windows clients.
A request came to me that we have the roughly 10ct Mac computers protected by EndPoint and reporting through SCCM.
Is this possible with what I have now?
Please let me know if you have any clues for me.
Many thanks!

Hi,
There is no way to push the SCCM MAC Client to a MAC Computer, you have to install it manually, threre are scripts available on blogs that can assits but still you have to run those scripts manually as well.
The System Center Endpoint Protection client for MAC is indeed a separate download on the volume licensing site, it is not managed through SCCM it is a standalone antivirus software which download it's defenition files directly from the internet. So there
is now way to manage it centrally.
I hope that answered your questions.
Regards,
Jörgen

How to exclude music and pictures from backing with USMT in SCCM 2012 SP1?

How to exclude music and pictures from backing with USMT in SCCM 2012 SP1?
I know we can use config.xml but I m not sure what all steps to take.
Below is my understanding
1. Create Custom.xml file using below
<component context="System" type="Documents">
        <displayName>Test</displayName>
        <role role="Data">
            <rules>
             <unconditionalExclude>
                        <objectSet>
    <script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("* [*.mp3]", "Fixed")</script>
                        </objectSet>
             </unconditionalExclude>
            </rules>
        </role>
    </component>
</migration>
2. Save as Custom.xml.
3. Copy it to USMT source files package in both the x86 and x64 subfolders and update the relevant USMT package distribution points.
I am confused as where in task sequence will we specify the custom.config file.

Edit the miguser.xml file. The default list is as follows:
-<objectSet>
<script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("* [*.qdf]", "Fixed")</script>

SCCM 2012 SP1 and Exchange 2013 Connector Get-Recipient cmdlet failed

I have been trying to get my Exchange Connector working with SCCM 2012 SP1 for a week or so now. Every post tells me that the Get-Recipient cmdlet failed is a security permissions error. I have given the service account running the connector full Exchange
Server Management rights including Recipient Management and Organization View-Only. I have even tested remote power shell to the CAS server and run the cmdlet with no issues.
For some reason it just does not want to work for me. Has anyone been running into this issue?

Now before you read the following error and say oh this is a permission issue I am telling you it is not. I have given the account full Exchange admin rights and I have even tested the Get-Recipient cmdlet remotely to the Exchange server and it works with
no issues. I have also noticed multiple forum posts with the exact same issues.
I have noticed one thing that stands outs "Cannot bind parameter 'Filter' to the target. Exception setting "Filter": "The value "$true" could not be converted to type System.Boolean"
I believe this issue may be related to changes in the powershell commands with Exchange 2013, but I do not know where or how to edit the ps1 script.
I am getting the error below:
ERROR: [MANAGED] Invoking cmdlet Get-Recipient failed. Exception: System.Management.Automation.RemoteException: Cannot bind parameter 'Filter' to the target. Exception setting "Filter": "The value "$true" could not be converted to
