SCCM (Configuration Manager) Update deployment "Description" Message

0
Hello All,
I'm integrating the SCCM 2012 SDK with C# for an internal application to deploy packages automatically.
I need to customize the "Description" message (marked in RED) as shown in below image:-
The "Description" message is currently displaying only the error code. I need to customize it to display the "error code + error message" as well.
I'm unable to find the ways to do it in C#. I searched and found a WMI class "SMS_ClassicDeploymentAssetDetails"
(REF:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh949640.aspx) and "SMS_ClassicDeploymentStatus" (REF: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh949567.aspx) , but there is no methods to modify the "StatusDescription"
property.
Kindly provide/suggest solution to customize and set the "Description" column value in deployment status using C# or Powershell.
Thanks in advance.

SCCM 2007 patch update deployment concern with shutdown PCs

Suppose we have scheduled to deploy MS patch update in SCCM on 1-Jan-14. In deploy software update wizard values provided like
Date and Time = 1-Jan-14 @ 01.00 and Set deadline
2-Jan-14 @ 01.00 .But one Pc from collection was shutdown from 31-Dec-13 To 4-Jan-14 and up on 5-Jan-14. Please let me know if that PC will get updated with Patches?
Till what date patch will be available to install automatically??

Thank you very much. This means no need to do re-deployment on PCs if they are in shutdown phase. All PCs in collection will be get updated whenever they come online.
I am also little confused about exact purpose of below 2 field. Will you please help on this?
Site setting >> Client Agent >> Software update Client Agent >> Update installation form.
1. Enforce all mandatory deployment
2. Schedule deadline - For deployment deadline within

Sccm 2012 window update deployment

Hi
I am trying to deploy the software updates in servers, but the issue i am facing is that when i create the package of 170 patches and deploy on servers 2008, then the advertisement coming at client side is in different batches. Example:- In first instance
50 updates advertisement comes at client end and once i Install them and restart the servers then in second instance remaining server advertisement will come.
As I have taken the downtime, so I want that all the advertisement comes in one Instance, can somebody suggest me how to do this ?????
Thanks and Regards Deepak

Hi Deepak,
For 170 Patches yeah its more than enough but if you take office sp3 patch its around 680 MB ,if all the patches are Security/cumulative patches then i would its more than enough based on the deployments which i have done.
If your system's RAM is 4 GB or more than that i would say it will get installed in a go also sometime like jason said there may be multiple reboot required for patching on few machines.
How you planned the deployment is it mandatory with reboot or mandatory and suppressed reboot?

Problems trying to install configuration manager.

Hi I've been trying to install SCCM 2012 onto a 2012R2 server. It is the second server on the network. The first is the domain controller, DNS and DHCP server. First I try to enable the roles specified BITS etc.
Then I install SQL server 2012.
Then I install ADK 8.1.At this point I install SCCM configuration manager.
The procedure fails here at the prerequisite check, stating that various elements are not installed for example User state migration tool. Windows deployment tools, windows pre-installation environment etc.
All these programs are installed on the sytem yet config manager does not seem to see that the software is in fact installed.
Would you have any pointers to a possible solution?
Brian

What version of ConfigMgr are you trying to install? ConfigMgr 2012 R2 will require the Windows 8.1 ADK to install those components. Make sure you have ConfigMgr 2012 R2 install media.
I hope that helps,

SCCM 2012 All Updates report sql query

Need build sql query for report about all MS Updates like SCCM configuration manager view in window by path:
\Software Library\Overview\Software Updates\All Software Updates.
But I can't find fields that can show "product" (OS that use this patch) and size of each patch in SCCM and WSUS databases. Can anybody help me?

To get file size I create query for files in package:
SELECT distinct ui.Title, ui.InfoURL, ui.DatePosted,
cf.FileName, cast(cast(cf.FileSize as real)/1024/1024 as decimal(10,2)) as SizeMb, uds.AssignmentName, uds.StartTime

Software Configuration Management of Oracle eBS

Hi All
I am setting up a standard configuration management, build & deployment automation and change & release management process for all types of applications including Oracle eBS, Informatica, Siebel, Cognos, Java etc. As you know, SCM for Java and .Net types of applications are very matured, but not for other types of applications such as Oracle eBS.
Can you give me some hint on how to manage Oracle eBS applications from SCM's perspective? For example,
1. How to version control eBS artifacts?
2. How to build eBS artifacts and then deploy to a new environment?
3. How to manage changes?
We have a standard SCM tool called RTC from IBM, which has version control, build and change control functions.
Thanks
Jirong

Hello Jirong,
I did a lot in the configuration management area related to EBS, in terms of concepts and practical implementations.
I would suggest that you take a look at the following material and afterwards, please contact me to clarify any question you might have.
https://blogs.oracle.com/ebs_customization_management/
In terms of technical solutions, I have worked a lot with Oracle AMS (ACMP), different consulting solutions, but also with non-commercial tools. So we will find a solution also together with RTC/IBM.
You can find me in linkedin.
Best Regards
Volker

Issue 2: I'm trying to deploy a couple of Packages/Applications using SCCM 2012 R2 running on Win2K8 R2 with no luck, knowing that I could install the packages
on a test VM “in the DataCenter site”, but when trying to deploy the packages to production PC “in the Office Site”,
the status is packages deployment compliance stuck at 0%
Infrastructure:
3 SCCM servers: CAS, PRI & SEC. Both CAS and PRI are in the DataCenter site, and SEC is in the Office site. The office site has several IP subnets.
Boundaries are configured through Forest Discovery “IP Ranges and AD Sites” since that the AD site should contain all the IP subnets that the AD site contains, Boundaries groups are also configured and a site reference
server is configured for each group respectively.
A OU based Collection has been configured that contains 13 PC "the collection contains the PCs that the packages should be installed.
Packages/Applications are configured correctly since that I could successfully deploy the packages to the test VM which is on the same subnet as the CAS and the PRI servers "the DataCenter subnet". The issue
is that I can't deploy the packages to production PCs in the Office subnet!
Firewall rules are configured and applied via GP, and I even turned Windows Firewall off, and still nothing! I tried to manually initiate Computer Policy download via the SCCM GUI and via a script, still no luck!
I tried configuring IP Subnet Boundaries, still no luck!!
Here are the last 2 lines in the LocationServices.log of a client PC at the Office Site:

Thanks..

Update:
I fixed the issue with the default XXX00002 package - "Configuration Manager Client Package", it will not deploy to the Secondary Site DP. I did that through "Update Distribution Points" option, and after a while the status was 100%.
However; the second issue is still unsolved...
Please help..

"Configuration Manager cannot connect to the site" after site update from SP1 to R2

Our dev SCCM environment only has a single primary site with a remote SQL database. Initially, the dev primary site had SP1 Beta (5.00.7782.1000) installed but as everyone is aware there is no upgrade path available to SP1 or R2 from Beta; so, we uninstalled
the site and removed the database, re-installed SP1 non-Beta (5.00.7804.1000), then proceeded to update all devices with the latest client agent. Afterwards, we attempted to upgrade the site from SP1 non-Beta (5.00.7804.1000) to R2 (5.00.7958.1000).
All seemed well until we attempt to open the Configuration Manager console and we get the following error message:
Configuration Manager cannot connect to the site (Site Name)
The Configuration Manager Administrator console could not connect to the Configuration Manager site database. Verify the version of the console is compatible with the version of the site server you are connecting to and then try to connect again.
So we tried reinstalling the console directly from here...
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\tools\ConsoleSetup\AdminConsole.msi"
still the same error message persisted, so we tried installing it from here...
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\tools\ConsoleSetup\ConsoleSetup.exe"
still the same error message persisted, so then we tried installing it directly from the R2 (5.00.7958.1000) installation media, and afterwards the same error message persisted....
All along, we were checking the AdminConsole log from here:

Once again, we validated we could connect to the SQL database from this box, and that the console was at the same version as the site. Any help or guidance with getting our access to the console restored after the SP1 to R2 upgrade would be greatly
appreciated.

From the Primary Site Server, I tried uninstalling the Admin Console and re-installing using:
consolesetup.exe /q TargetDir="%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Configuration Manager" EnableSQM=0 DefaultSiteServerName=<SiteServerName>
Of course replacing <SiteServerName> with the FQDN of my Primary Site Server. Console installed successfully however the same error message persists.
Also tried installing the console on a clean Windows Server 2008 R2 installation. I tried it from the R2 (5.00.7958.1000) installation media, from the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\tools\ConsoleSetup\" both without any luck, the
same error message persists. I verified I could ping the FQDN of the site server also, and that the firewall between the two permits communication over the ports listed here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh427328.aspx
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Forum FAQ] WSUS Configuration Manager failed to subscribe to update categories and classifications on WSUS Server

Symptom:
You might see an error in Software Update Point Status Message when you run software updates synchronization. (Figure 1)
WSUS Configuration Manager failed to subscribe to update categories and classifications to WSUS Server “Server Name”
Figure 1
When you check the WCM.log, WSUSCtrl.log and wsyncmgr.log. There is an error in WCM.log-“Category Product:6d76a2a5-81fe-4829-b268-6eb307e40ef3 (Windows 7 Language Packs) not found
on WSUS”. (Figure 2)
WCM.log:
Figure 2
Cause:
Windows 7 language packs are available for computers that are running Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 7 Enterprise. The Windows 7 language packs can be installed only from the Optional
Updates section in Windows Update. However, these language packs are not available on the Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server or through the Microsoft Download Center.
For more information, please review the link below:
Windows 7 language packs are available for computers that are running Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 7 Enterprise

Resolution:
Go to Administration -> Overview -> Site Configuration -> Sites -> Right-click CAS -> Configure Site Components -> SUP Products tab, uncheck “Windows 7 Language
Packs”, then sync again. (Figure 3)
Figure 3
After Sync successfully, the “Windows 7 Language Packs” option disappeared. (Figure 4)

Alternative:
About installing Windows 7 language packs, you could use SCCM 2012 Package feature (download manually) or Windows Update.

I managed to fix my issue by coping the Client, ClientUpgrade, and Scripts from the files from SCCM install discs folder SMSSETUP to c:\program files\Microsoft Configuration Manager folder. I noticed that some of the files in the scripts
folder was missing and I copied the other folders over because I felt that maybe my local copy of the Client installer where missing some key files as well. Once I did that and disabled software update push, restarted the wsus computer, and re-enabled
the software update push it was able to publish the client and start installing it that way.
I thing the initial log messages where pointing me in the wrong direction for a few hours because I was thinking it was permissions as well and kept trying to figure that out but in the end I do not believe any of that was the reason I was receiving the
same error as you where.

Deploy Java and Oracle updates using SCCM 2007 Software Updates

Hi Team,
I am using SCCM 2007 to deploy software updates on all my servers. Now i want deploy updates fro third party tools like Adobe, Java etc..Please suggest me on how to deploy these updates using SCCM.
I am looking for other simple solution than SCUP 2011. Please suggest.
Thanks
Siva

Hi,
SCUP 2011 would be the way to do it or a package/program. There are commercial software solutions that plugins to configuration Manager like Secunia
http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/corporate/sc2012_plugin/ ,Solarwinds
http://www.solarwinds.com/patch-manager.aspx and Shavlik
http://www.shavlik.com/products/scupdates/ that offer a subscription of updates for these products for a cost of course.

Deploy SCCM 2012 Monthly updates (not with ADR), updates get expired

Hi,
I’m looking howto use monthly updates in SCCM 2012 R2. This post is showing howto with automatic deployment rules (ADR), but I’d need to do this without ADR.
http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/6799-using-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-part-9-deploying-monthly-updates/
What I do:
1.filter on updates I need
2.add them to an update group
3.distribute these updates as mandatory to our default windows 7 collection
Now everything works fine until some updates in the update group get expired. Then no updates are distributed anymore. Please advise.

Leave the expired updates and group the remaining updates (create software group fo these) and deploy to your clients.
Search the updates in sccm console: Add criteria: Expired NO
Have a look in this post (Software updates deployment without ADR)

SCCM report to find total number of actual patches installed by update deployment on all the machines (present in target collection)

Hi Guys,
I am looking for a sccm report which should provide total number of actual patches installed by us on all the machines (present in target collection). For couple of updates after sync it shows installed already on some machines.
Example:
CName | Total Patches  | Already Installed  | Installation triggered by Deployment   | Collection ID
AW001      (123)               (2)                         (17)                                                    CL00001
AW002      (123)               (1)
(21)                                                    CL00001
AW003      (123)               (1)
(26)                                                   CL00001
I am specially looking for 'Installation triggered by Deployment ' number
I would appriciate very much your the help.
Thanks,
Chandan

Hi Chandan,
You could try to create your custom report based on Software Updates Status views.
