SCCM 2012: sysprep from installed machine (with configmgr client)

Hi,
We have taken a sysprep of a vm which had a full sccm 2012 task sequence windows 7 and made a new machine (vmware esxi).
It registered correctly to SCCM 2012, can we consider this as a proper way of working (sysprep a w7, it registers automatically to sccm 2012?).
J.
Jan Hoedt

Sysprep doesn't do anything with the configMgr Client agent because sysprep is a Windows core component like the print spooler and has no knowledge of anything else. Like Peter
mentions you must prepare the Config Manager Client task performs the steps necessary for an agent to be included in an image and is detailed here:

  • SCCM 2012 distribution point install failes with faild to verify disk drive

    I am trying to install remote distribution point on new Windows Server 2012 standard but getting failures. here is the code:
    Failed to find a valid drive on the distribution point
    Failed to install DP files on the remote DP. Error code = 15
    I can created files and folder manually on the server fine on the drive specified during the deployment wizard. I need to know what process SCCM 2012 goes through to verify a disk drive for usage as a remote distribution point

    Hi,
    Did you ever get this fixed?
    In my case, it's a physical server with a 2x 500GB in RAID1.
    Server OS is 2012. SCCM Version is 2012 SP1 cu2
    The disk has been partitioned into 2 logical drives: C-Drive and D-drive
    The distmgr.log states:
    failed to find a valid drive on the Distribution Point 
    Failed to install DP Files on the remote DP. Error Code = 15
    Drive D: is not valid. Error = 15
    Do you have any ideas of how SCCM evaluates drives to be correct?
    I've ran a WMI Query and the partition shows as a Local Hard Disk.
    Do you have any more ideas what I can check?
    Thanks!

  • SCCM 2012 R2 Power Management - Machine Wake Up Time is Randomly Offset

    We have recently migrated to SCCM 2012 R2 from SCCM 2007 R3. Since moving the clients to the SCCM 2012 R2 server I have noticed that the Power Management Wakeup Timer is not working as it used to.
    Power Management is configured as follows:
    Peak Hours: 5:30AM - 6:00PM
    Wakeup Time: 5:30AM
    Previously, all power management configured clients would wakeup at around 5:30AM, some a minute or so before, some a minute or so after. Now they are on SCCM 2012 R2, I'm finding that they are waking up anywhere from 5:30AM to 7:30AM. At first
    I thought this was due to the Deadline Randomization settings, so I set "Disable deadline randomization" to Yes on the Computer Agent. However, the machines are still waking up at random times. To ensure the change was propagated properly,
    I changed the Wakeup Time by 1 min to 5:29AM and updated policy on a few test machines, but no joy.
    Does anyone know why this is occurring?
    Thanks
    Kate

    Hi,
    This setting determines whether the client uses an activation delay of up to two hours to install required software updates and required applications when the deadline is reached. By default, the activation delay is disabled.
    If required software updates and required applications must install without delay when the configured deadline is reached, select
    Yes for this setting.
    For more infomation, please review the link below:

  • I updated SCCM 2012 R2 from CU3 to CU4. Where can I find good directions on what else I need to do to make this work?

    I updated SCCM 2012 R2 from CU3 to CU4. Where can I find good directions on what else I need to do to make this work? I'm assuming I have to deploy the new clients?
    Thanks,

    You have to create different collections (x64 vs x86 clients) because the .msp to be deployed is architecture specific.
    "Distribute content" just distributes binaries to distribution points. You can select a collection there, but that has nothing to do with clients. It just distributes content to DPs that are assigned to collections.
    Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de
    Ok. That is helpful. I appreciate the response. I hate to ask another question, but I', still learning the product. In the Step-by-Step SCCM 2012 R2 CU4 Installation Guide from System Center Dudes, it says to create the collections by using their predefined
    queries. I tried to enter these as queries but I think I am doing so in the wrong area of the collection creation process. Could you break it down for me?
    Do you know of any good training (free) that is video based an breaks SCCM 2012 R2 down into smaller more detailed steps?
    Thanks,

    Please stop asking about that on this forum.
    There are plenty of informations on the Internet if you want to do it but nobody here will help, because is against the forum's rules.
    And, you can't buy Mountain Lion if you do not have a Macintosh with at least Snow Leopard installed.
    There is no physical media. Mountain Lion is provided by Apple through the Mac App Store.

  • SCCM 2012 - Task Seq - Install Lenovo AMT software - Failing with 2147500037 (80004005)

    Hi there
    Wondering is anyone has had any issues installing Intel Management Engine 10.0 software via a SCCM 2012 task sequence?
    We have a number of older laptops which we build via a Windows 7 task sequence from SCCM 2012. As part of the install each laptop gets the appropriate version of the Intel ME software. All well and good.
    We now have a new model to build (Lenovo T440) and for some reason the latest available version of Intel ME 10.0 software keeps failing in the task sequence with a 2147500037 (80004005) error.
    This can mean different things but often means a permissions issue. Not sure what the permissions issue could be.
    This software is installed at the same stage as previous versions of the same software are installed for older laptop models. Same install command too, SetupME.exe -s as per the document which comes with the software (in previous versions it is Setup.exe
    not SetupME.exe but don't imagine the different file name is the problem).
    I will try an older version but really we want to keep up with the latest available versions.
    Anyone had problems installing this Intel ME v10.0 software via a SCCM 2012 task sequence?
    Best regards
    John

    Does the install provide any logging? Does execmgr.log show any other info?
    Per the readme, it should be setup.exe.

    This is for system administrators' use only.
    1. Refer to the Manual Install section, and download and extract the file.
    2. In the step 11 of the Installing files section, uncheck the checkbox next
    to "Install ..... now", and then select Finish to cancel installation.
    3. At the command line, execute Setup.exe with the -s option.

  • Sccm 2012 agent not installing with error CcmSetup failed with error code 0x80041013

    We have sccm 2012 r2 enviroment , when we deploy client agent to one DC , client agent is not getting install with below error .. I can able to install agent to all the machines except one DC.
    CcmGetOSVersion failed with 0x80041013
    CcmSetup failed with error code 0x80041013
    Any idea ?

    The error code 0x80041013 translates to:
    Provider load failure
    Source: Windows Management (WMI)
    Like Briij suggested, you should try to fix the WMI repository.

  • After migration from sccm 2007, there are many systems with no client installed

    Hi Everyone,
    We have migrated our environment from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 , And Manual client push installation has been done by HeadQuarter SCCM admins on site code of our region.
    But as i see , in all systems collection based on OU, there are approx 50% systems with no client installed.
    There may be some stale systems in AD.
    Is there any way so that i can list out all Stale or old computers which are not in use anymore records of systems from Active directory and so that i move them to OU for which system discovery is not enabled.
    Also, it will very useful if i get more information on lastLogonTimeStamp and such more properties which specifies system as stale or OFF the network for some period..

    You could also remove the objects without a client and adjust the settings in the
    Options tab of the Active Directory System Discovery Properties. By tweaking those options you can make sure that you're not discovering those old objects in the first place.

    If the command-line you gave ConfigMgr runs successfully, there's not anything else ConfigMgr can do. Thus the logs above don't add any value. Thus, the issue lies with the MSI. Where did you get it from? Have you tried running it with the /l*v command-line
    option to add verbose logging and then reviewed this log file? Have you tried manually testing using the System account (done using psexec) to more closely emulate how ConfigMgr invokes the command-line?

  • SCCM 2012 Update Group inconsistency Problem with Red marked Updates

    Hi everybody,
    we have a big Problem with our SCCM 2012 R2 CU3 Enviroment, regarding of Update Groups which got out of sync.
    we have a SCCM Site Infastructure with one CAS and 4 Primary Sites and on every Site is the SUP Role installed.
    I don't know when this failure occours but i think it was after the CU3 Installation. The Installation itself went smooth without any Errors or Warnings.
    The Problem is as following. We have some updates in Update Groups (all of them are Core XML Updates) which are out of sync and marked red as an invalid Update on 2 Primary Sites. On the CAS Site and the 2 other Primary SItes they are marked as green (downloaded
    yes and deployed yes)
    We have no Replication issues regarding the Replication Status (everything is synchronized to 100%) and the Replication Link Analyzer does also show no Problems at all.
    I now deleted the Deployments and the SW Update Group waited until the replication was fine and created a new one and downloaded these patches on one of the Primary Sites which had shown this Failure.
    The Result was not good. It looks like before. On the CAS and 2 Primary Sites the Deplyment is shown as downloaded but on the other 2 Sites the Status is again Downloaded=no.
    Does anybody have any idea what to do now ? I checked objmgr.log and rcmctr. log but found nothing what shows me the way in the right direction.
    Thx for your time, and it would be fine if anybody can share knowledge about this failure and how to fix it.
    All other Ideas are also welcome.
    Thx a lot in advance and have a nice bug free day :-)
    Bastian

    Hi,
    Please try to manually synchronize software updates from the CAS and monitor the WSUSCtrl.log, WCM.log and wsyncmgr.log on the CAS and Primary sites.
    Best Regards,

  • SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 ccmsetup runs with SMS Agent Host on the "Service" mmc after upgrading the client to CU4.

    Dear Brothers,
    I have an issue with two (2) of my Site Servers, I have below scenarioa and explained issue details:
    Scenario:
    1. Server1: Windows 2012 Server, CAS, SCCM 2012 Hierarchy Roles: Management Point, DP, SUP, Component Server.
    2. Server2: Windows 2008 R2 Server, Secondary Site Role, SCCM 2012 Hierarchy Roles: Management Point, DP, Component Server.
    Issue:
    After updating the SCCM 2012 Client to CU4 on the actual Site Server, the "ccmsetup" appears also with "SMS Agent Host"
    at the Service MMC. Which I believed this is very unusual behavior.
      The Client however it seems properly installed and working please see below details:
    Questions: I believed the Client installations are still running on the background, even though the Client tends to look working on the Control Panel.
    1. How can I resolved this issue?
    2. Should I need to perform a total Client uninstallation, even depth till removing entries in the Registry levels?
    3. Or this is a normal behavior for the scenario?
    Advance thanks for your future replies, my brothers in technology.

    Dear Brother,
    2 Weeks since I installed the CU4, it seems a little bit to long isn't it? for both the ccmsetup and the SMS Host Agent Services to exist, for the errors on the ccmsetup.log there are some errors after uninstallation since I am trying to removed
    the issue .

  • SCCM 2012 SP1 - Vendors or Publishers with multiple spellings or formatting

    Hey all,
    When trying to do reports by Vendor for example, how can we deal with the fact, for example, that the employees at Adobe are not applying the company name incorrectly.
    When I go to the All Software Companies report I find that there is
      Adobe Systems Incorporated
      Adobe
      Adobe System Incorporated
      Adobe Systems
      Adobe Systems Inc
      Adobe Systems Inc.
      Adobe Systems Incorporaetd [Realy, it is spelled incorrectly]
      Adobe Systems Incorporated
      Adobe Systems Incorporated.
      Adobe Systems, Inc
      Adobe Systems, Inc.
      Adobe Systems, Incorporated
      Adobe Sytems Inc. [Another mispelling]
      Adobe Sytems Incorporated [Another misspelling]
    Heck, even Microsoft has this issue.
    And ever duplicates that may or may not be there.
    How has anybody been dealing with this? It's annoying to have to deal with this when trying to do any sort of drilling down through various canned reports.
    I was thinking about creating a little process that goes through the registry in attempts to find the typographically incorrect names and if found replace with with something more commonplace.
    Thanks for the discussion on this issue.

    Hey Jason,
    Got to say, I looked over the link and it took me a while to finally grasp the scope of where that "Set Names" was it. I tend to leave anything that says "Default" in some areas of System Center alone; mostly because there may not be
    an option available to reset back to default. I would have hoped that when I made a client policy, as suggested in the documentation that all settings would be carried over to it, much like creating a group policy. Is it normal to edit the Client Default Settings? 
    As the documentation says "You can also configure custom client settings, which override the default client settings when you assign these to collections. For information about how to configure client settings, see
    How to Configure Client Settings in Configuration Manager."  I guess somebody in the user interface department missed that bit about overriding default client settings with custom
    settings because custom settings do not have all the settings; such as Set Names.  And hey, I found a post
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/41285bd4-e5b2-4a75-94ce-02669e5df592/sccm-2012-how-i-can-reset-default-client-settings-policy-?forum=configmanagerdeployment" So it would appear that there is no way to reset to default settings should
    something get way out of hand.
    Why inventory EXEs? I thought about that and wanted to know what EXEs are on a computer, from what I understand about software inventory, and perhaps this is from my scripting days. I saw lots of people, in the past, ask how they can use VBS or WMI
    for example to do software inventory, the usual stock answer is something like "wmic product"; which only returns products installed by an MSI source, while non-MSIs usually end up in the registry in either Install or Uninstall area, or both
    as well as MSIs ending up there.  Perhaps I don't need to inventory EXEs, but it's there, and I would like to know what computers potentially have an EXE on them that I might want to look for. For example there are plenty of applications that install
    without an install method; they just simply get themselves copied by the user or some hack of an installer.  I don't go trolling through the reports, but there is an occasion where I may want to see if a computer has an EXE, and if I'm lucky the path
    to the EXE is also captured so that's a bonus, right? I could potentially use that information to find an EXE that is in a user's AppData folder, for example. Right? A virus, or a bit of spyware that the AV product may not know about.
    For example; here's a script that claims to inventory software -
    http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Software-Inventory-of-f66b5bdc
    - The  Win32_Product
    WMI class represents products as they are installed by Windows Installer. A product generally correlates to one installation package. (from
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394378(v=vs.85).aspx).
    What about products not installed via the Windows Installer? Pointless. Is that what SCCM does as well? Or does it look in the registry combining both Win32_Product and what is in the Uninstall/Install registry hive? Working with a school district I've installed
    a lot of software that doesn't use the Windows Installer.
    I did find these posts interesting -
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/23c875b4-0e1e-406d-b28f-ee082a20bbf2/default-software-inventory-not-collecting-any-data-from-client?forum=configmanagergeneral
    It was interesting in that I was having a similar issue where nothing was showing up until I added scan the exes, but maybe that's a coincidence.
    And finally -
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682067.aspx#BKMK_SoftInventoryDeviceSettings
    Taking note of the option to inventory file types within Microsoft's own documentation. A useless feature? Hmm. And why not? Take a look at this -
    https://www.grc.com/oo/program.htm. You will notice that it says there is nothing to install, just run it. Okay, so what there applications follow the just download and run, no need to install it. Sure GRC is
    a security site, but if some user thought it might be good to have it, and they ran it, and started having issues with something that doesn't do traditional installing then we as IT don't have a real clue as to what is really on a user's system.
    You'll have to forgive me, but if Microsoft created a feature, why not use it? It's like the age old debate as to - Should I keep my computer on, or should I turn it off.  Should I deploy images via SCCM using multicast or not.

  • Powershell and SCCM 2012 Collections from AD

    Greetings everyone, I am trying to take a select of groups in a certain OU within AD to make SCCM 2012 user collections from. I been playing around with just creating the collections based upon a txt file which would work and is probably easier. Can someone
    go through this mess I have down here and make this work. I found some scripts that do what I need but they just aren't flowing together well. Thanks for any help you can give. I think the 'DOMAIN\\'$ADName isn't going to work either. Thoughts?

    This forum is meant for general PowerShell questions. Hopefully you'll get a good response from someone here, but the people who are familiar with the ConfigMgr cmdlets will be more likely to see your question in the specialized forum.

  • Move a Excel 2010 Dokument Addin Project (Visual Studio 2012) to another devleopment machine with Visual Studio 2012 , but Office 2013

    Hi 
    we do have the following situation
    on computer A there is a Excel Document Addin development project , Visual Studio 2012, Office 2010 installed. All works fine.
    we would like to bring the project to another machine with Visual Studio 2012, but Office 2013 installed.
    Visual Studio can not build the project. It says that the application is not installed on the machine (though Excel 2013 is installed , but not Excel 2010) It seems to have a problem with the
    vbproj. 
    In other forums I found a hint that "Hostpackage = ..} needs to be set accordingly in the vbproj. I created then a "empty Excel-Addin project" under Visual Studio , looked at
    the Hostpackage entry, put that into the vbproj of "problem project. It still does not work.
    It would be great if anyone could help.
    Thomas

    Hello Eugene
    Problem is that it says that projectboard (the name of the main project) can not be loaded. All other projects in the solution can be loaded. Strange thing is , now that I try to create a empty excel Project it says that according to Excel security settings
    it can not be generated !? 
    I opened then Excel and set all Trust Center settings to "Default" - but no effect. I really have no idea what is wrong ..!?
