Server for SCCM 2012 SP1

Dear All,
I want to ask about installing SCCM on Windows Server 2012, whether
it should be installed on
the Domain Controller
Server? Then, is it
okay if not installed on
a Non-DC? Can
anybody give the reason?
Please enlightenment.
Thank You.

Hi,
Although, SCCM 2012 can be installed on a DC, but it is not recommended configuration. I suggest you install it on a domain-joined server.
Please see the Supported Configurations for Configuration Manager

I am new to database, if i want to create a manual report using sql server report builder for SCCM 2012 SP1, what step should i take.
i want to create a report in which computer name, total disk space, physical disk serial no come together. i already added class (physical disk serial no.) in hardware inventory classes. refer snapshot

Hi,
Here is a guide on how to create custom reports in Configuration Manager 2012, it is a great place to start, change to the data you want to display instead.

SQL Server for SCCM 2012 R2

Hello,
I'm very new to SQL concepts, I have recently installed a backend database for SCCM application with below configuration.
Installed the SQL on VM with 10GB RAM, 50GB(OS Partition), 400GB (SCCM DATA & SQL DATA) and 50GB (SQL Logs)
OS: WIn Server 2012 R2
SQL : SQL Server 2012 SP1 Std
Question: I want to know,how to configure the following things,
01. Limit memory utilization of SQL (Min & Max)
02. limit the maximum size of the log files
03. Limit Disk utilization for SQL etc...

Hi Julie,
My friend Jorge Segarra has a blog about min and max memory that I'd recommend you look at. http://www.sqlchicken.com/2012/02/setting-memory-limits/
the best answer is "it depends", you want to define an amount other than the default. by default SQL Server installs with 2 TB of memory enabled regardless of what is on the source system.
With SCCM and 500 GB data files, you will probably find you have memory pressure with only 10 GB. I would leave a minimum of 1 GB per for every 4 dedicated to the OS, up to 4 GB for the OS. So in your case,
8 GB for SQL 2 GB for the OS. If you can add more for the VM that would be a good idea. Typically you would want 3 x your largest returned dataset in a query. When you do a checkdb or index rebuilds your memory with get thrashed.
Log files, make sure your database is in simple recovery model. Understand the type of backups you need to maintain transnational consistency. Grow them at a minimum of 4 GB increments. Transaction logs
are made up of VLF's and VLF fragmenation will cause slower writes on write heavy systems like SCCM. Here's a great blog for more on VLF's http://blogs.msdn.com/b/blogdoezequiel/
Disk limitation should be based on size. I like 100 GB of free space or 20%, whichever comes first. This will be determined by the amount of history you want to maintain though.

Sql 2012 server for SCCM 2012 - Agent not starting

Hi ,
In our environment we have a Sql 2012, and it was working fine till now. but after installation of RDP role and subsequent installation of certificates for remote desktop in the SCCM server ( SQL 2012 is
installed in it)
we are facing the issue - Sql server management studio not connecting ( windows authenticaltion)
1) A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 233)A
2) I tried starting the sql agent service in services.msc and the below error came
The SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER) service on Local Computer started and then stopped.
Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.
3) In the Sql Server configuration manager also tried starting the sql agent but
The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion.
Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details.
The widows event logs show this error
A fatal alert was generated and sent to the remote endpoint. This may result in termination of the connection.
The TLS protocol defined fatal error code is 20. The Windows SChannel error state is 960.
We have removed the certificate and the RDP role in that .
Can anyone please help on this
Anand M

I would check for error messages in the SQL Server ERROLOG file and also Agent's SQLAGENT.OUT file.

Installing SQL server for SCCM 2012 local vs on its own server (primary site enviorment only)

Hello,
When building a primary stand alone site server does Microsoft consider it best practice to install sql locally or on its own server. Is there an official statement from Microsoft suggesting this?
Thanks ins advance
Phil
Phil Balderos

There is no official statement either way from Microsoft as both configurations are fully supported. Generally speaking, it is easier to collocate SQL on the same system as the Primary Site so long as the server meets the hardware recommendations.
Among the trade-offs are reduced network traffic vs avoiding a single point of failure for the site itself. Since the CM site license also includes the license for SQL, licensing is not really an issue.

Does anyone know if there is a Driver limit for BootImage (x64) for SCCM 2012 sp1

I have been running into the issue when trying to upload new network and Hard drive controller drivers into my existing Boot image it fails. But Curiously enough if I delete out the exact same amount of drivers that I am trying to add it will
update . The only drivers I have in the image are strictly network and Controller drivers. Although there are probably 100 drivers in all to support all the makes and models the company is using. Just Curious if there is a Ceiling.

100 is excessive.
Boot images contain many drivers by default -- in fact, they contain all of the default drivers that their corresponding OS contains; e.g. Win PE 5.0 based boot image contain all the drivers that Win 8.1 does. Thus you should not just add every
NIC and storage driver you come across to the boot images. You should only add drivers to bot images if the boot image doesn't already contain a suitably driver. Discovering this is a simple trial and error process of simply booting a system using your
boot image and see if it gets an IP address and if it can see the local disks.
Thus, honestly, your first step here is to start over and only add drivers that you truly need.

Cannot install SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4

Hi,
I just tried to apply CU4 over one of my SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 deployments and I receive the following message during the initial verification phase:
Server update status: This update applies to product version 5.0.7804. The installed version on this computer is 5.0.7958.1000. This update is not applicable to this computer.
Console update status: No serviceable configuration manager role was found on the local system.
If I engage the verification phase on this installation for CU2 and CU3 there is no problem at all, so this must be a CU4 package specific error.
Anybody experiencing the same behavior ?

The latest CU that I see for SCCM 2012 SP1 is SP1 Cumulative Update 3, are you sure you are working with the proper file? .
CU4 was released this week:

SCCM 2012 SP1 Maintenance -- Random Environments Rebooting Early

Background on my deployment process for SCCM 2012 SP1: I run a Powershell script that sends out a package and configures settings exactly the same for the particular environment set.
The deployment script will call one or several environments at a time, as applicable.
It will take each environment, affix the settings, push the package to be deployed (based on OS) during the specified maintenance window, and repeat. It is a very consistent process.
Last week, I deployed to A-CLOUD (name changed for simplicity purposes), among others.
A-CLOUD went through the same process as the others in the script (see end of paragraph), in which the appropriate settings were checked.
The environment was supposed to update and reboot on Saturday, July 12.
However, A-CLOUD (only) updated and bounced as soon as I sent out the package on Wednesday, July 9.
Also in the same deployment script was B-CLOUD, C-CLOUD, D-CLOUD, and E-CLOUD, which all updated and rebooted as planned on July 12.
I received an alert that A-CLOUD was rebooted by Configuration Manager. I checked the reboot logs in Task Scheduler to compare A-CLOUD with C-CLOUD days later to compare a faulty reboot with one that ran correctly
(both of these environments are on the same site). There was no difference in the log files.
This issue occurs at least one a month and I have only noticed ONE pattern, Server 2008R2 -- however, it is not always the same environment that will reboot early each month, same week, same day, etc. It seems to be
random.
Any ideas?

This is way too generic to be answered. What ConfigMgr object type are you deploying (package? application?)? How is the reboot initiated? How are the deployment settings etc.?

New SCCM 2012 client machines still getting SCCM 2012 SP1 client not the new SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 client

Hi,
I've successfully (as far as I can tell) deployed SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 and all my existing clients are showing a client version of 5.00.7804.1400. But when I setup a new client system recently I noticed that the client version was showing 5.00.7804.1000,
and not 5.00.7804.1400.
For new client systems, do I need to redeploy the packages that were created for SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 so that the new systems get the new SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 client?
Thanks,
Nick

Hi,
Here's some good information to look over:
http://sccmfaq.wordpress.com/2013/09/24/sccm-2012-include-cu-in-osd/
I haven't followed these instructions myself, since I haven't really had any good reason to include CUs during the initial installation process. I use this method instead and I've never run into any problems:

Declaring an SCCM 2012 SP1 server as the "Publishing Server" for App-V 5 SP2

Good morning everyone.
I'm trying to virtualize Adobe Flash 10.3 for IE. That's beside the point but I wanted to mention my ultimate goal.
Sparing you all the App-V stuff I have to go through there's one obstacle that is hindering me at this point.
I've converted completely to CM 2012 SP1 for my App-V deployment functions but find myself needing to specify our main CM server as the "AppVPublishingServer". The ultimate goal here is to set the virtual app attribute of "IsPublishedGlobally"
to TRUE. I need to refer to the Publishing Server's URL in order to use the PoSH command "Set-AppVpublishingserver" to manipulate the "Global" parameters.
Do any of you know how to configure this attrib through CM, or, how to declare the CM server as a Publishing Server (in App-V's eyes)?
Thanks very much.
IAmStrings

Hello,
If using SCCM and the App-V 5 integration, you can never configure a publishing server.
Read this whitepaper for the full-story;
http://blogs.technet.com/b/virtualvibes/archive/2013/04/22/sccm-2012-sp1-and-app-v-5-0-documentation.aspx
It contains step-by-step instructions on howto use the integration.

SCCM 2012 SP1 - OS Deployment - hash could not be matched for the downloded content

I've got a newly deployed SCCM 2012 SP1 running on Windows Server 2012. The W2K12 runs as vm on ESX 5.1. I'm having very odd issues with OS deployment. The TS keeps failing when processing SCCM client installation - it downloads the package but then it fails
straight away with the 80091007 - hash values couldn't be matched error - some extract from smsts.log attached below. It's very consistent, it happens every time - it downloads and applies the image fine straight after that it bombs out.
What is very interesting is that it works perfectly fine when I deploy vms (on the same or different host) - the issue seems to be be only affecting physical machines (laptops desktops). This might suggest some network issues (vSwitch with Cisco switches) but
the config on the switch is very simple and this shouldn't be the case.
I had a few virtualised SCCM 2007 installations (ESX 5 and 4) and it always worked with no problems.
I tried to recreate the package (changing source directory), turn binary differential replication on and off, copy the content of the package to the dist point or not copy. Push client installation (or other package deployments) work fine
When I tried to deploy with no download - sometimes it works but most of the time I'd get the files/folder corrupt error (can't remember the No)
This is starting to drive me crazy - There are some significant changes in the way SCCM 2012 is validating package integrity (like Content Lib folder) but the consistency of this problem is just very odd.
Anyone has any clues?
thanks

Windows 8.1 system with new Office 2013 install not pulling down any Office 2013 updates from my SCCM 2012 SP1 server

Hi,
I've just setup a new Windows 8.1 system and added to my SCCM 2012 SP1 server and all is good and it pulled down all the correct Windows updates and pulls down automatically the FEP updates that are distributed from SCCM 2012 daily.
I just installed Office 2013 on this system and have activated it as necessary. The problem is that the system doesn't seem to be pulling down any of the Office 2013 updates that have distributed thru SCCM. I have other systems with
Office 2013 installed and they have pulled down Office 2013 updates in the past when I published them.
If I look at the Office 2013 updates in the SCCM console software section, I can see that for example it shows that Office 2013 SP1 (x86) is needed by one system and installed on 8 other systems and shows as downloaded and deployed.
I've restarted the new system multiple times and also tried to force a software update check from the Configuration Manager applet but nothing seems to happen.
What can I check to try and determine what the problem is?
Thanks in advance,
Nick

Yes, the 8.1 system is a member of collection where the update deployment is targeted.
Are there any specific logs I should check in the client? If I check the WindowsUpdate.log I can see messages about the machine pulling down the FEP updates but that's all it appears to be doing.
in CCM\logs, focus on the updatehandler and updatedeployment, to begin with

How does this update fit in the upgrade process (add step 7 and install this update on the SCCM Server) , or is it better to leave this update because windows PE5.1 is not supported yet.
I hope someone can give me some good advice

Problem to generat an report on an SSRS for SCCM 2012 R2 SP1. I got error has occurred during report processing.

Hi,
Problem to generat an report on an SSRS for SCCM 2012 R2 SP1. I got error has occurred during report processing.
In general it is no problem to generat SSRS reports, but an custom one i get issue with.
The Error:
An
error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Query
execution failed for dataset 'DataSet1'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
ExecuteReader:
CommandText property has not been initialized

Hi SaiTech,
According to your description, when you render report on SCCM 2012 R2, you got the error message.
According to my knowledge, the issue can be caused by following reasons:
Select permission not granted to ConfigMgr reporting account. We need to open the SQL management console and open the properties dialog box of configmgr db, grant select and execute permission to ConfigMgr reporting account.
Reporting Services Web Service URL or Report Manager is false. Make sure Web Service URL and Report Manager URL are correct. Restart SMS_Executive service and reinstall Reporting Service Point, then please render the report again.
Report timeout. Increase query and report timeout.
If the problem remain unresolved, please provide detailed information of SRSRP.log (default location: %programfiles%\Microsoft and Configuration Manager\Logs) and reporting services error log(default location: %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\<SQL
Server Instance>\Reporting Services\LogFiles), it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

SQL 2012 Enterprise SP1 installation for SCCM 2012 R2

I am just starting to install SQL 2012 with SP1 Enterprise for SCCM 2012 R2.
Does anyone have a step by step guide for this install please
I am planning to install SQL 2012 with SP1 Enterprise as a physical install which I intend to geo cluster later on
Also I am thinking of installing WSUS on a separate server and get my SCCM 2012 servers (1 primary and 3 secondary) to use this server - would appreciate some help on how this can be setup as well

That doesn't make sense to me. Both versions are fully supported on virtual and physical platforms.
Also, I'm with Garth - local SQL all the way.
Here are my thoughts on the subject
http://www.gerryhampsoncm.blogspot.ie/2013/10/configmgr-sql-some-tips.html
ConfigMgr is not a real-time product like Exchange, for example. A certain amount of downtime can be tolerated. I would spend more time implementing a robust backup solution, rather than trying to implement high availability.
You should be able to recover a ConfigMgr site from SQL backup in a couple of hours.
