Send SCCM 2012 client or re-send client to individual computer

We have a tech tools web portal and I need to add an item so techs can send the SCCM 2012 client to a machine. This will be used if they have to reinstall the client for some reason.
I had planned to use PowerShell and created the script only to find out that it requires too great a permissions role to connect to the SCCM drive so the cmdlets can be used.
I then thought I could just create a .CCR for a computer. But, the format for SCCM 2007 does not work for SCCM 2012.
Reasons we are approaching this in this manner are:
1) We want to install using the CURRENT client files. And, we don't want to copy those off to some other location and need to remember to update them when we update SCCM 2012.
2) We want the retry capability that comes with using .CCRs.
3) We want the "smartness" of the client install we have found. We have a distributed operation and doing the client install by an SCCM admin from the PowerShell script or via the right-click in the console allows SCCM to find the closest DP and
use client install files from a local source when available.
4) We have a LOT of desktop techs that we do not want having access to the SCCM console. There is just too high a learning curve. We want a simple tool.
One other thing to mention ... we cannot use the Generate CCR tool because we are not turning on client push (lots of valid reasons for this and some the SCCM admins don't think are valid, but the decision has been made for us :) )
Anyone have thoughts on how to have a simple tool to send the client install via script or .CCR?
Thanks in advance!

You can't turn client push off -- you can turn *auto*-client push off though. The Generate CCR tool does not depend upon *auto*-client push though so there's no reason you can't use it.
Here's a blog post on the changes in the CCR process:

"Enable distribution-point sharing for this source site" did not showing SCCM 2007 DPs as SCCM 2012 content shares for CM12 clients

Hi
We have one central site server and three primary site servers in SCCM 2007 and completed the SCCM 2012 migration as single hierarchy.
During the migration, We have configured SCCM 2007 Central site server as source hierarchy for data gathering process and configured the "Enable distribution-point sharing for this source site" to make SCCM 2007 distribution points
as SCCM 2012 content shares to serve SCCM 2012 migrated clients. Now we are facing a problem that one of the primary site server's data gathering process did not gather SCCM 2007 DPs even though we configured "Enable distribution-point sharing for this
source site" but data gathering process is completing successfully.
Is anyone have idea, why these SCCM 2007 DPs did not appearing as SCCM 2012 content shares under "Shared Distribution Points"
Thanks in Advance

Earlier all the shared DPs are showing under Shared Distribution Points ? Or since starting itself these DPs are not showing down? Have you checked migmctrl.log for some clue?

Microsoft Intune and SCCM 2012 R2 Integration - Windows 7 clients.

Hi All,
This is our scenario I am trying to find out more about Intune integration with SCCM 2012 R2 and what solution is best for us.
We have a SCCM 2012 R2 instance up and running which services/monitors machines on our internal network. All of these machines are Windows 7 OS. We have laptops that travel frequently and need for these to report back to our SCCM server whilst connected
via internet connections. Also we have multiple "off domain" machines (ie workgroup machines) which we also need to report back to the same SCCM server.
I have read a lot about Intune integration with SCCM but it appears to be targetted at MDM not around PC management.
What would be the best way for us to move forward?
Thanks in advance.

Just see my reply in the ConfigMgr forums.

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: package update, when will clients have it?

Hi,
We have a deployed package which we needed to change/upate. We updated the source and distributed the (existing) package to the distribution point.
The package is set as available. When can we be sure that when client run it, they'll have the latest package (and not the one in cache)?
Please advise.

Jan Hoedt

The package is set as available. When can we be sure that when client run it, they'll have the latest package (and not the one in cache)?
Keep in mind that clients that already installed it won't re-run it automatically then.

Automatic Install of Endpoint Protection fails on windows 8.1 clients with SCCM 2012 R2

Running SCCM 2012 R2 and deploying CM clients and Endpoint Protection via software updates. CM client and EP install fine on Windows 7 clients. CM client installs fine but endpoint protection fails on Windows 8.1 clients with the following from the
endpoint protection agent log:
<![LOG[Create Process Command line: "C:\Windows\ccmsetup\SCEPInstall.exe" /s /q /policy "C:\Windows\CCM\EPAMPolicy.xml".]LOG]!><time="12:22:02.560+240" date="08-13-2014" component="EndpointProtectionAgent"
context="" type="1" thread="4260" file="epagentutil.cpp:607">
<![LOG[Detail error message is : [EppSetupResult]

Description=Cannot complete the System Center Endpoint Protection installation. An error has prevented the System Center Endpoint Protection setup wizard from completing successfully. Please restart your computer and try again. Error code:0x80070643. Fatal
error during installation.
So on the win8.1 client I run the above command line manually in a command window and receive Access is denied. Then I run the same command in an elevated command window and EP installs fine. Does this have something to do with why the automatic
EP client install fails with the 0x80070643 error code? If so, what is the fix?

Query about SCCM 2012 R2 Client Installation

Hello I had one SCCM 2012 RTM environment with 1000+ clients,
Now on the same machine I have uninstalled everything and installed fresh SCCM 2012 R2 software with same site Code etc..
Kindly suggest me an easy way to upgrade all my SCCM clients to 2012 R2? and How do i verify the same?

Hi,
Currently, the clients cannot accept the policies from SCCM 2012 R2 MP, so Push installation, GP installation and manual installation should work. After upgrade, the GUID of clients will remain.

SCCM 2012 64 Bit Client

Does SCCM 2012 have a 64 bit client? I think that 2007 was only 32 bit but has that changed?

Yes - ConfigMgr 2012 have a native 64 bit client. And you are right - in ConfigMgr 2007 there was only a 32 bit client

SCCM 2007 Migration to SCCM 2012

Hello,
I read http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/58ba35e5-d84e-4741-8089-624f5269a2ca/sccm-2012-design-consideration-advice?forum=configmanagergeneral&prof=required with the following notes:
Secondary vs. DP is a subjective call based on two factors: client count and available bandwidth. More clients and/or less bandwidths means secondary site, less clients and/or more bandwidth means DP. Both use a server OS so there's really no cost difference, just some added complexity for a secondary site. Without knowing the bandwidth, no way for me to be able to say one way or the other.
As for IBCM, correct, it's no a primary site server, it's simply a site system that typically hosts an MP, DP, and SUP. The App Catalog Website Point is also applicable.
Are you planning on managing legacy mobile devices or Mac OSX? If not, the Enrollment Proxy Point is not needed -- it's not applicable to IBCM anyway to my knowledge.
Also, the FSP must be on a separate site system so that clients can communicate with it via HTTP.
I have for now two sites:
- 25,000 Desktops on one site
- 1,500 Servers on the second site
in SCCM 2007 I had three sites: One Parent doing the reporting and two child sites handling the inventory, distribution, etc... (No SUP do far)
I have on each child sites 1 DP.
What should be changed for SCCM 2012?
What is "More Clients" or "Less Clients" ?
"More Bandwidth" or "Less Bandwidth"?
Thanks,
Dom
System Center Operations Manager 2007 / System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2 / Forefront Client Security / Forefront Identity Manager

Hello Dom,
If you have Two Primary servers you may need to plan for a CAS (Central administration site), in SCCM 2012 when you have more than one primary server you need a CAS to connect them. But remember the CAS does not
process any client data, DPs nor MPs (hardware nor software inventory), and bear in mind that a primary stand-alone can support up to 100,000 clients, and in SCCM 2012 the big idea is to simplify the hierarchy. So if you have a primary site you can manage
a lot of clients, and you can separate them in your case in boundaries, boundaries in 2012 do two things: Site assignment and content lookup, but they only work with boundary groups, in which you set the limits in the boundary, and latter associate it with
a boundary group.
You can then just have a primary server and remote DPs, and decide how the clients will look for content in the DPs with the boundaries and boundary groups. The bandwidth needs to be really important about sending
packages between sites, or if the boundaries are not configured properly the clients can end up looking for content where it should not. Also don’t forget about fallback packages and content, because DPs and packages can be set as fallback, so if clients
cannot find in a local DP they will search those packages.
Below a few references that may help you with your migration.
Any more questions, please let me know.

SCCM 2007 Secondary to SCCM 2012 Secondary Site

we are planning to upgrade SCCM 2007 secondary to SCCM 2012 Secondary Site, As per the TechNet document that I understand i can't do in place upgrade of Secondary site. I can do only upgrade
of 2007 DP to 2012 DP,
This is what I plan,
1. Install a SCCM 2012 Secondary site
2. Enable DP sharing in 2012 and share the DP of 2007
3. Upgrade the 2007 DP into 2012 DP on 2012 Secondary Site.
My question is,
1. How to copy the DP package to 2012 Secondary Server DP, it will happen during the upgrade or we need to use Export/extract Content feature in SCCM 2012
2. How the client migration will happen? Do we need to distribute the 2012 client prior to DP update or we can use client push to upgrade old client.
3. before share the DP, do i have to remove the MP, PXE role on the 2007 secondary?
Thanks for your support

I have already few packages available in that DP that I am going to migrate
The second shared DP that I want to migrate to 2012, but it is not working.
Do I need to specify any thing in reassign distribution point wizard, because I only select the site code where I want to migrate the 2007 DP, and all other option I leave default and client on next.
This is what I am trying to do.
I have build a SCCM 2012 Primary and Secondary Server and I am trying to move the DP from exiting SCCM 2007 Secondary Site DP to 2012 Secondary Site.
I set a source hierarchy for primary server with enable shared DP then I am trying to reassign a DP.

SCCM 2012 -two machines with same name

Hi,
In SCCM 2012, when I do a search for a computer, the results bring up two machines with the same name and mac address.
Why is the machines in SCCM 2012 twice?
How do I resolve it?
Thanks,
hm087ster

You should have one machine mark as obsolete.
A record that is marked obsolete typically was superseded by a newer record for the same client. The newer record becomes the client's
current record, and the older record becomes obsolete.

SCCM 2012 Disk Space

Hi
I prepare to migrate SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012, i create one server "stand -alone" (SCCM 2012), i have around 8000 clients.
On SCCM 2007:
Drive C: 60 Go
Drive E: SMSPKGE$ = 300 Go, SMSPKG = 250 Go. (Sources another server).
Did i forget something when calculating disk space?
Thanks

My plan for a new server (4 vCPU, 32 Go RAM, C: 800 Go) just C: drive because SQL 2012 and sources packages on another server (source don't move), on C: drive install only OS and SCCM 2012?
Hi,
Your disk space is enough.
There is a blog talks about SCCM 2012 hardware requirements. You could have a look.

SCCM 2012 R2 Upgrade - Side by Side

Hi All,
I'm new to SCCM. I have a scenario where I suppose migrate (side by side) SCCM 2012 R2 from SCCM 2012 RTM and upgrade it client and remap with new setup.
Configuration Settings: 01 Primary Site with inbuild SQL, 2000 client and will be used only for software update.
Question: Kindly someone help me with the High level steps with reference document to proceed?

You can only migrate from R2 to R2 according to
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg699364.aspx
That document also covers the steps needed.

SCCM 2012 Upgradation

Hi All,
I have a SCCM 2012 RTM environment with 500 clients (desktop). I would like to format the server and install SCCM 2012 R2 on the same machine with same site code.
Kindly help me with the things to be taken care.
01. Will it work fine
02. How do i upgrade my Clients
03. what are all the things to be taken care here.
Note: I'm using it only for Software update Point

My OS version is Windows Server 2008, So I believe I'm not left with any other option. So i will format the machine the will give the same computer Name and Site COde.
As suggested Torsten, I have to delete the System Management Container and recreate it, correct me if I'm wrong?
One more Query, Can we configure Auto patch deployment in SCCM? Say whenever any new patch is avail it should auto approved(will enable the setting in WSUS), it should deployed to all clients(I have created single collection) ?
You do not need to delete the container, just fix the permissions.
Don't reuse the site code unless you are restoring from backup. This will break things.
