SCCM Software Center Installed Software

Two questions:
First, when I go into the Software Center and click on the "Installed Software" tab, it is blank although I've successfully installed a few programs since.
Second, when I uncheck "Show Optional Software" nothing appears, although there are several applications listed in the Software Center "Installation Status" tab that are not required and set as an available user initiated deployment.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Yes we only use applications. However point 2, some application are just available and do show up.
A workaround is to install the available software again through the application catalog. Then it shows up in the Installed Software tab and can my users un-install it.
So what to do? Thanks.
I'm having the same problem. After every restart the installed software list is empty. Any ideas how to solve this (without the install it again workaround)?

The most important is that you have to inventory the applications that are installed and based on that you have to decided which applications you want to remove. For those applications you can create uninstalls in ConfigMgr.

SCCM Software Updates (and SCUP) vs. Application Management for 3rd Party Application Patching

Hi,
We're getting ready to tackle the phenomena known as Java patching, and I was wondering if I could get your personal preference; SCCM Software Updates (and SCUP) vs. Application Management for 3rd Party Application Patching?
I probably should give a little background on my environment; It's a university atmosphere, so unless it's policy, you have to ask nicely...can't tell people to do things they don't want to; multiple version of required versions of Java for what ever reason,
which need to be identified, grouped together, and then upgrade as much as possible without breaking their old applications.
I was thinking that Application Management probably made more sense where it is more robust, especially for removing multiple installs of Java on a single system, but Software Updates/SCUP looks like it was built for this type of patching, so I'm a bit confused
why SCCM would have two components which essentially did the same thing.
Your thoughts?
Thanks,
Bill

For Java version management specifically you can already achieve a lot by using the Application Model in CM12.
You can define supersedence between the different versions, just make sure to opt for uninstall of the older version when defining it.

How to check Edition of SCCM 2012 got installed ?

Microsoft has two different System Center Suite 2012 licensing models
System Center 2012 Standard
System Center 2012 Datacenter
After installation How do I check what Edition of SCCM 2012 got installed?

These are only licensing models. You do not select which to install. There is no difference in the binaries or after installation (it's not like Window Server where you can see this in Control Panel).

SCCM 2012 - Cannot install SCCM Client to workstation

Hi
I have installed SCCM2012 and I'm trying to push out the SCCM client to workstations, but it's keep failing...
I have setup discovery towards AD so all workstation is in SCCM console under Devices, but no SCCM client is installed on any workstations. I right click a workstation and select "install client" but nothing happens, no ccmsetup folder is ever
created in c:\windows folder.
I then checked the ccm.log on the SCCM server and found this:
I don't understand whats wrong. Can anybody help?
I checked WMI using the wbemtest, it works fine. I tested from the SCCM server and another workstation. No problems.
BITS is enabled.
No firewall is installed on workstation.
The workstation is completely new installed.

Hi,
The error translates to "A security package specific error occurred." what if you try and install the client manually on the workstation? any errors then?
Client Push has a lot of dependencies, that is why I prefer to use Jason Sandys startup script instead to deploy the client.

SCCM 2012 R2 Install - Reporting Services Point, Remote SRS Server

Hi all,
Here's a brief run down of the setup so far. SCCM 2012 R2 installed on Windows 2012 R2 (SCCM01). SQL 2012 back end is off box, on a separate cluster (SQL01C01). Reporting Services for SQL 2012 is due to be installed on a different server (SRS01).
My question is, when I come to sort out Reporting Services in SCCM, will I simply need to add SRS01 into SCCM as a Site System Server and install the Reporting Services Point onto SRS01?
I realise I could simply wait for the sql guys to sort the install of SRS and then test it myself but it might be a while before that gets done so I thought I'd ask....Thanks for the help

will I simply need to add SRS01 into SCCM as a Site System Server and install the Reporting Services Point onto SRS01?
Correct, although the other way around. Remember you have to make SCCM01$ a local administrator on SRS01.

But when I try to install Manually Exit code is 0 (no error)

Hi,
Have you checked the log files ccmsetup.log ,ccmsetup-ccmeval.log, client.msi.log and SoftwareCenterSystemTasks.log? Maybe it can give us some clues.

Application status in Software Center "installing" for hours

Hello,
I have sequenced SPSS, application installs on the client and works but... in the Software Center remains status "installing" for hours.
Once the status changes to installed, no errors in aapenforce.log.
CAppV5XHandler::InstallApp() completed successfully.
I have tried many times, App-v 5 and App-v 5 SP2. The same problem so it is application doing somenthing apparently.
How to troubleshoot this?
Where to look ?
Thanks in advance,
Hanna

When I run msiexec on the sequencer I do generate the log file but on the installation on the sequencer runs perfect. Also the log file contains no errors.
The problem is, when I install appv from the Software Center, which in fact is a PS command "Mount-AppvClientPackage", I do not issue any msiexec command at this time and I cannot generate the msi log file.
So, I wonder in which logfile can I see what is going on in the meantime...
In this example it took one hour...while application itself was installed within a minute and you could just open it and use it. See the logfile..

SCCM software updates reporting

we are slowly transitioning from WSUS to SCCM for microsoft updates. I used SCCM to manually update a few servers last night by making a software update group "available" to them.
I installed all the upsdates and rebooted. On the server if i open Software Center there are no more updates to be installed. If I look in SCCM under Monitoring --> Deployments...it still has these servers as "In progress" . I
completed this a day ago. Why wouldn't this be reporting as completed?
Is there a better place to look than deployments for this sort of a report?

Yes, the actual reports. Things in the console tend to lag behind what's actually going on for performance reasons.

SCCM Software Update Agent remains disabled

Dear All,
on single notebooks the Software Updates Agent remains disabled even if the Client Settings policy is set to enale the agent as in the attached images:
Even though if I set e.g. the remote tool agent as disabled, the agent becomes disabled on the same notebooks, where the SUA does not change state. Therefore a communication error is excluded.
Does anyone know where to look after more information about this issue and eventually how to solve it?

SCCM - software updates deployment.

Hi All,
i have adobe acrobat version 10.1.10 installed on my mahcine, when ever i am trying to up deploy an Adobe acrobat 10.1.13 for my machine using but its not gettin updated. Also , one thing that i have seen is even after deployment it is not showing up under
deployment package.
Can anyone help on this, Iam using shavlik higher version of SCUP with SCCM to achieve this.
Rsg,

Hi,
You could troubleshoot software updates deployment by checking logs.
UpdatesDeployment.log
UpdatesHandler.log
WUAHandler.log
%windir%\WindowsUpdate.log

SCCM Software Update's / ADR questions

Hello Technet/SCCM community,
after much scratching of the ol' noggin and lots of internet searches I have been left with a handful of questions regarding SCCM 2012 SP1 and its Software Update Point functionality with emphasis on Automatic Deployment Rules.
1.When creating an ADR if one ADR's updates are the same as another ADR's updates how can we avoid storing/downloading duplicates? Can I store the updates in the same folder and will SCCM be smart enough to share the updates rather than having two copies?
note: one way around the above would be to separate updates into different ADR's, here is my issue with this method: lets say I have one ADR for Win7 updates and one for Office2013/Silverlight etc. Now Im deploying multiple packages to machines causes a
larger update window and possible multiple restarts. So lets say I suppress the restarts, well when users get around to it they will still see the updates being applied and per our policy we have one window to push these and when we wander from the norm users
minds break. i.e. I don't want multiple ADR's deployed to the machines a month and I do not want to suppress restarts.
2. Is there no way to only download the metadata of these updates? Currently updates for my environment are eating up 80 gigs of hard drive space. 40 gigs to the download location which then gets duplicated to the content library which sets me up for my
next question: Why are these updates in both locations essentially doubling the HD space you need for updates. My content library grows gig for gig with my SUP updates store.
3. Scenario: I deploy updates month 1, 100 updates are downloaded and deployed and update group entry is created. Next month I deploy again this time 50 updates are downloaded and deployed, update group 2 created. Questions: Now if I delete update group
1 and do not have a date released or revised rule will the next deploy grab update group 1's updates again? In other words should I always leave the update groups in SCCM so it knows what updates have been deployed and wont download those updates again. And
finally if I should leave the update groups can I still delete the updates from the folder freeing up space but still allowing SCCM to know whats been deployed?
4. Does anyone have an essential Windows 7 workstation updates ADR build they can share. For Workstations I like to deploy everything they need in one ADR, Office 2013, Silverlight, SCEP, and WIN7. So far Ive never come close to the 1000 limit. Server ADR's
are a different story.

I appreciate your clarification of an ADR, I understand what it does and doesn't do, I'm simply using the term ADR to cover the subjects I'm discussing.
This piece of your response answers my questions in full and is very helpful.
"You can use the "Period of time for which all pending deployments with deadline in this time will also
be installed" setting on the Software Updates tab to group deployments together that have slightly different deadline times; however, Office 2013 and SCEP updates generally don't require a reboot."
I had previously set the deadline/restart window to "as soon as possible", I will utilize
the above to resolve my issues with my ADR deployments and I will also use the below for how I group updates.
"I generally configure an ADR for all workstation OS updates, one for Office, one for Server updates,
and one for SCEP. These all reference the exact same update package which I then change on a periodic basis like every 6-12 months. I also create new update groups month for each of these (except SCEP defs)."
Thanks great stuff Jason:)

SCCM - software updates - Not required.

Hi All,
Can some one help with the understanding of "Not Required" software updates. How does actually SCCM decides why a particular software update is not required for a machine.
Rgs,

Hi, The detection method for if an update is applicable comes with the WSUS component so, the WSUS client which is configured by the SCCM client policy to use the SUP as a WSUS servern.
The client downloads infiormation about all updates and how they are detected from the SUP and then it sends the result to the MP that processes which updates are applicable or not into the SCCM DB.
So it it the same way the Windows Update agent uses WSUS and Microsoft Update detects which updates are applicable.

SCCM Software Update Reporting - Understanding the Report

I could use some help in understanding what makes a computer compliant and what makes a computer non-compliant in regards to SCCM’s Software Update reporting.
When I look at a report for a compliant computer and a non-compliant computer, I do not see the pattern which would cause a computer to be compliant or non-compliant.
Example for two computers:
For each report, every item with a check mark in the Approved column also has a check mark in the Installed column.
For each report, if there is a check mark in the Is Required column, there are no check marks in the other two columns for that row.
Yet one computer shows as compliant while the other shows as non-compliant.
So in regards to the three columns in a Software Update report, what should be checked or un-checked to indicate whether a computer is compliant or not?
doyle

Okay,
When you run a Compliance 1 report, the resulting report lists three rows:
One row for “Non-compliant”
The second row for “Compliance state unknown”
The third for “Compliant”
Drilling down into each row displays the computers that fall under the three categories above.
Drilling down further on specific computers within each category shows each update on its own row with three columns, “Approved”, “Installed” and “Is
Required”.
I have been assuming that a computer lacking approved updates would fall under the “Non-compliant” report while a computer with all approved updates installed would
fall under the “Compliant” report. (correct?)
With this assumption, I have comparing compliant vs non-compliant computer reports by looking at the “Approved”, “Installed”, and “Is Required”
column of each. But I am not seeing the pattern that would designate one computer has compliant and another non-compliant.
So it is the report (not me) that is telling what is compliant and what is not compliant.
Am I understanding this incorrectly and if so, please fill me in (details would be great)?
