SCCM 2012: USMT Encrypted Files unavailable options

This is perhaps a difficult question,
As you know Configuration manager has a checkbox for choice in its GUI called “Skip files that use the Encrypting File System (EFS). This forces only one of 2 options:
Checked /efs:skip
Unchecked /efs:copyraw
Question is. Is there anyway to get scanstate to use either /efs:abort or /efs:decryptcopy?
When I use osdmigrateadditionalcaptureoptions, the setting gets overwritten.
Kindest regards.

The TS is running under System context. I donot think the other two options could work.
Maybe you could utilize Run Command Line task to run the scanstate command and append the options.
You need to specify an account that has permission on the encrypted files.

SCCM 2012 and .PCK files - how exactly are they used?

Ok, no one, not even Microsoft engineers can seem to provide a clear and definitive answer on this topic, everyone's understanding of the .PCK file with relation to SCCM 2012 is clear as mud.
I understand what .PCK files are...in the SCCM 2007 world, and how they work, all that jazz, what I don't understand is how/when/why they would be used by SCCM 2012...it seems that sccm 2012 would only need these .pck files during a reassignment of a shared
DP in a migration scenario...even that surmise is sketchy since I've watched very closely the DP content conversion process and at
no time did the server access the .PCK files to populate the single instance store.
I am going to do some more testing on my own, my ultimate goal is to permanent delete the contents (not the folder itself) of the SMSPKG folder, essentially all the .PCK and .DL$ files to save space on my server.
If any soul out there knows..not guesses...the purpose of the .PCK file in 2012, let me know please, don't just copy/paste other people's posts as an answer, explain in clear terms each step of the process that 2012 would utilize a .PCK, or if the answer
really is that 2012 does not use .PCK files at all, let me know.
I have a single primary site with 16 secondary sites in my SCCM 2007 environment, I'm migrating to a single primary with 16 distribution points...so even if .PCK's are used to populate secondary sites, I should not need them since I won't have any secondary
sites once all of my DP's are migrated...yeah?
Thanks!
Terry

Thanks for the reply Torsten, that would make sense if my primary site had any .pck files at all (my sccm 2012 site that is) only my DP's have .pck files. I have no child sites in my 2012 hierarchy unless DP's are child sites (I thought secondary sites are
child..) When my DP's require a package they get them from my primary site, not other DP's. I have no 'Pull' DP's setup.
If SCCM 2012 uses a 'single instance store', which contains 3 folders itself that seem to contain compressed versions of the package files, then there should be no need for another folder that also contains compressed files...just a thought.

SCCM 2012 R2 OSD Task Sequence option

Hi, What to have an Install Applications step option that will identify computer record names with embed names for example
embedded name XXX inside a computer record for example:
Tabletxxx01
Tabletxxx02
Tabletabc01 - this computer record would skip the TS step.
Thanks!

Hi,
Here are an example on a WMI query checking for a computername using wildcards,.

SCCM 2012: USMT Failing

I am still new to SCCM, and we have 2012 SP1 environment. While attempting to deploy a new device, I ran a Capture Only task sequence (TS) on the old device after setting up a side-by-side association. The current progress in ConfigMgr shows as "in
progress".
Next, on the newly imaged device, I added it to at RestoreOnly TS and kicked it off, but it fails with a generic error 0x00004005 after installing. This seems like a rather generic error. This is also my first time using this feature, so I do not know the
last time it was working.
This error has popped up on a second device when attempting to perform the capture only TS. I am attempting to find a way to troubleshoot this but can't find the applicable status message query. So, I suppose my question is has anyone come across this error
before? Can someone point ime n the right direction to troubleshoot this?

Hi,
Is there any relevant error in loadstate.log on the client?
It records details about the User State Migration Tool (USMT) and restoring user state data.
Also, I recommend you check the permission of the resource folder when you are ready to run restore TS.

SCCM 2012 RTM to SP1 Upgrade - Windows ADK 8.1

Hello,
I am after some advice. We have two physical locations containing a single SCCM 2012 primary site server in one location and distribution point server in the other location.
Both servers are also configured as DHCP Servers and DHCP scope options have been configured correctly to allow both DHCP and Windows Deployment Services to co-exist.
OSD was working fine, until I upgraded the primary site server to SCCM 2012 SP1. During the upgrade process, I installed Windows ADK 8.1 which would appear is not supported however no errors were reported during the upgrade process.
Issues I have encountered;
- I can no longer PXE boot with the following error 'PXE-E55: ProxyDHCP service did not reply to request on port 4011'
- The x:\remoteInstall\Boot\Fonts directory is empty suggesting the boots images were not finalised.
- When updating the distribution points with the boot images i get the following error via the wizard;
• The SMS Provider reported an error.: ConfigMgr Error Object:
instance of SMS_ExtendedStatus
• Description = "Failed to insert OSD binaries into the WIM file";
• ErrorCode = 2152205056;
• File = "e:\\nts_sccm_release\\sms\\siteserver\\sdk_provider\\smsprov\\sspbootimagepackage.cpp";

• Operation = "ExecMethod";
• ParameterInfo = "SMS_BootImagePackage.PackageID=\"UKS0003B\"";
• ProviderName = "WinMgmt";
• StatusCode = 2147749889
SMSPXE.log contains the following errors;

The system cannot find the file specified. (Error: 80070002; Source: Windows)
Failed to read ADK installation root registry value
I am looking for some advice on the best way to rectify this issue. Options I am considering are as follows, however I am unsure of the outcome should I attempt these;
1 - Upgrade to SCCM 2012 R2 which supports ADK 8.1
2 - Uninstall Windows ADK 8.1, install 8.0
3 - Attempt to restore back to SCCM 2012 RTM using file system backups and SCCM backups.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank you both for your replies and advice
The configMgr 2012 environment is primarily used for OSD, and software updates for Servers only.
I have followed Peter’ advice, and uninstalled WADK 8.1 and installed 8.0 and I am currently investigating errors within the SMSPXE.log, and I have seen other posts elsewhere within these forums
with the same issue with suggested solutions which I shall investigate.
With regards to DHCP on the ConfigMgr site servers – I could not agree with you more.
Unfortunately, my company use a third party DHCP solution which was incapable of supporting PXE-boot for OSD.
We were therefore required to have a separate Microsoft DHCP solution on the site servers to by-pass this issue.
The intention is to upgrade to Configmgr 2012 R2.
My understanding is that there is no direct upgrade process from SCCM 2012 RTM to R2, therefore I have upgraded to SP1 and would prefer all features are working correctly before progressing to R2.
Many thanks again,
Regards,
JohnRox

SCCM 2012 R2 User State Migration Win XP to Win 8.1 does not migrate Domain User Files

Hi @ all
i'm trying migrate Win XP Sp3 to Win 8.1 using SCCM 2012 R2. So i followed the how to from the SCCM Team.

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>

Cannot publish Flash Updates Verification of file signature failed for file SCUP 2011, SCCM 2012 R2 and WSUS all on same Windows Server 2012 machine

I am attempting to distribute Adobe Flash updates using SCUP 2011, SCCM 2012 R2, WSUS ver4 and Windows Server 2012. Everything installs without error. I have acquired a certificate for SCUP signing from the internal Enterprise CA. I have
verified the signing certificate has a 1024 bit key. I have imported the certificate into the server's Trusted Publishers and Trusted Root CA stores for the computer. When I attempt to publish a Flash update with Full content I receive the following
error:
2015-02-13 23:00:48.724 UTC Error Scup2011.21 Publisher.PublishPackage PublishPackage(): Operation Failed with Error: Verification of file signature failed for file:
\\SCCM\UpdateServicesPackages\a2aa8ca4-3b96-4ad2-a508-67a6acbd78a4\3f82680a-9028-4048-ba53-85a4b4acfa12_1.cab
I have redone the certificates three times with no luck. I can import metadata, but any attempt to download content results in the verification error.
TIA

Hi Joyce,
This is embarrassing, I used that very post as my guide when deploying my certificate templates, but failed to change the bit length to 2048. Thank you for being my second set of eyes.
I changed my certificate key bit length to 2048, deleted the old cert from all certificate stores, acquired the a new signing cert, verified the key length was 2048, exported the new cert to pfx and cer files, imported into my Trusted publishers
and Trusted Root Authorities stores, reconfigured SCUP to use the new pfx file, rebooted the server and attempted to re-publish the updates with the following results:
2015-02-16 13:35:44.006 UTC Error Scup2011.4 Publisher.PublishPackage PublishPackage(): Operation Failed with Error: Verification of file signature failed for file:
\\SCCM\UpdateServicesPackages\a2aa8ca4-3b96-4ad2-a508-67a6acbd78a4\3f82680a-9028-4048-ba53-85a4b4acfa12_1.cab.
Is there a chance this content was already created and signed with the old cert, so installing the new cert has no effect? In ConfigMgr software updates I see 4 Flash updates, all marked Metadata Only (because they were originally published as "Automatic."
No Flash updates in the ConfigMgr console are marked as downloaded. I can't find any documentation on how the process of using SCUP for downloading content for an update marked Metadata Only actually works.
Comments and suggestions welcome.

Error while Creating Prestage Content File for Application in SCCM 2012

Hi All,
I am using SCCM 2012 SP1 on Win 2K8 SP R2 box. Database is SQL 2008 R2 SP1 CU6. I have trying to create Prestaged content for Applications for extracting pkgx files on DP's. I am getting the below error message for random applications(not for all applications
but for random applications).
Content that will be included into the prestaged content file (1):
Citrix Receiver 13.3.0.55
Export all dependencies: 'Yes'
Selected distribution points: 'MPSERVER.GS.WORLD.PRESS.COM'
Prestaged content file: 'G:\pkgxfiles\Application\Citrix Receiver 13.3.0.55.pkgx'
　Error: Distribution is currently in progress for selected packages: HM0000D9. Please wait and try again
But if I see this application is successfully distributed to 2 of the distributions points long ago. If I reupdate the Distribution point and then again try to create prestaged content for this application then pkgx file for that application is getting
created.
Why this is happening and how can I resolve this?
Thanks & Regards Uttam

Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.

Windows 8.1 Mobile Device Management and SCCM 2012 R2 - 'Turn on' option missing

I am trying to test a virtual desktop with SCCM 2012 R2 integrated with Intune. There is no Configuration Manager client on the workstation, the Intune subscription is configured and enabled for Windows enrolment, AD is synchronizing with Intune, DNS has
the enrolment record added and resolves, the user can logon to Intune from the client using Internet Explorer and the client has had the registry key added with the DiscoveryService configured to manage.microsoft.com. The problem is that on
the 8.1 workstation in Workplace Settings the only option is 'Join' and the 'Turn-on' option is missing. How do I get it to appear?

Yes I am using an activated version of 8.1 Enterprise, it is in a workgroup and I am logged in as a member of the local Administrator's group but not Administrator. I even joined the domain again and then removed it. Still there is only the 'Join'
option and no 'Turn on' option. This is driving me nuts.

Sccm 2012 query self encrypting drives

I have SCCM 2012 SP1, does anyone know of a way to query a collection, for self encrypting drives? All I really need to know is; of my "laptop" collection, which ones have Self Encrypting Drives.

For BitLocker you can use the following:

SCCM 2012 SP1 and MDT 2012 Task Sequence Templates, MDT File/Settings Packages

We're setting up SCCM 2012 integrated with MDT 2012 for our OSD. My main issue is finding actual reference material for the MDT task sequence templates when integrated with SCCM. The MDT documentation has a lot of information on variables and task sequences
outside of SCCM integration.
One thing I'd love to find information on is what's actually going on during an MDT Client Task Sequence template. I found this http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/645a77b2-5be6-431d-818c-57d24b1435cc/understanding-mdt-task-sequence?forum=configmgrosd but
it doesn't delve into the kind of detail I'm looking for. I can dig up information through the MDT reference material on some things, but I just can't find anything out there that actually walks you through an SCCM/MDT task sequence template. For instance,
under State Restore what is being referenced in Install Software with base variable name PACKAGES, vs Install Applications and base variable name COALESCED APPS. And, where are you supposed to put these applications? That's just a specific example, I'm hoping
to find some kind of walkthrough.
Two things I'm hazy on are the MDT packages. What exactly are the MDT Settings Package, and the MDT Files Package? What are they used for? What benefits do you get out of using them? And, how exactly do you use them? I know one of them has something to do
with customsettings.ini, but what's the point of using SCCM with MDT if you still have to muck around in the customsettings.ini file?
Either way, it seems like there are a lot of references to SCCM task sequences, and a lot of references to MDT task sequences. But, not together. Which is a bit annoying since the MDT-integrated task sequence templates are very obviously different than either
SCCM or MDT by itself. Any help would be appreciated, even just information on where to look. Maybe I'm just really bad at finding reference material for SCCM/MDT. Thanks.

When MDT integrated with SCCM, We need the following MDT components to be created:
MDT Boot image
MDT Toolkit Files
MDT Settings
The MDT boot image (for example) gives you extra abilities over the standard ConfigMgr boot image such as the ability to display a HTA Refer here:
http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/forum/98-frontends-and-web-services/
MDT Files once created, you will find UDIWizard_Config.Xml file in which you can start User driven Installation OSD using UDI designer.

Thanks, Prabha G
Thanks for the quick reply. But, what about the MDT Settings Package? Also, both have a pretty big folder structure for each package. Surely it does more than just provide a couple xml and ini files? I'm not looking for anyone to spoon-feed me the information,
but at least a pointer in the right direction for finding the reference material. It seems for SCCM/MDT integration you have to go all over the place finding scraps of information to put together.
Also, any info on the SCCM/MDT task sequence templates? Thanks.

SCCM 2012 r2 Deploy USMT Don´t Restore User State

Hi everybody
I am migrating my computers from Win Xp to Windows 8.1,
with SCCM 2012 R2 with HardLink, my problem is that USMT does not restore the user state on all my computers, it does in some and not in others. the only difenrecia between the teams is the computer model and brand (Hp and Dell).
I use USMT 5.0 to capture the user state running on Xp and restored with USMT 6.3 for Win 8.1 (Now run the hotfix from Microsoft http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2910552 and it´s work )
Also try SMP, capture user state ... but not restores either ...
Anyone have any idea what might be happening
