Slipstreaming CU3 during first installation of SCCM 2012 R2

Hi
I am working on automating a SCCM 2012 R2 installation. During a scripted installation using Powershell I want to install CU3. What I want to know is, can I install CU3 with the same command line I use to install SCCM?
For example:
Setup.exe /Script C:\MyInstallScript.ini Patch=Z:\CU3.exe
or
Start-Process "Z:\SetUp.exe" -ArgumentList "/Script C:\MyInstallScript.ini /Patch= Z:\CU3.exe"
If this is not possible can I install CU3 in the same Powershel script I use to Install SCCM 2012 R2? For example:
Start-Process "Z:\SetUp.exe" -ArgumentList "/Script C:\MyInstallScript.ini" -Wait
Start-Process "Z:\CU3.exe" -ArgumentList "/Quiet" -Wait
Or something like that. Thanks!

Hmm can I run the CU3 exe in the same ps script I use to install sccm 2012 R2? Like so:
Start-Process "Z:\SetUp.exe" -ArgumentList "/Script C:\MyInstallScript.ini" -Wait
Start-Process "Z:\CU3.exe" -ArgumentList "/Quiet" -Wait
Or do I have to run it in two different scripts? Because there is a need for a reboot or something.
The above is small part of the script I use of course.

Fasten the Process of MDT UDI OD Installation in SCCM 2012 R2 OSD

Hi,
I have implemented MDT UDI Task Sequence in SCCM 2012 R2 OSD. The issue which I am facing is the UDI Installation progress is very slow. it is taking around 2 hours to complete the whole Installation.
Is there any way to fasten the Process of MDT UDI OD Installation in SCCM 2012 R2 OSD.
Thanks & Regards,
Sanjay Dubey

Application installs can take awhile - it depends on what applications you're installing, and how many. For instance, installing Office is clearly going to take longer than say 7-Zip. How many applications are you installing during a normal OS
deployment? You can check the AppEnforce.log to see how long an application(s) is taking to install, as the start and end times are recorded.
As for the MDT Settings package, how many times are you calling this package? My task sequence only calls it 5 times, and one of them is before you even get the UDI wizard, while the second and third is an either/or situation, depending on whether
you do a refresh or a fresh PC build.

Cumulative Update 4 installation for SCCM 2012 R2

Hi all,
This is my first time installing a CU update on SCCM 2012.
We have an environment with 15 Servers, 1 is a Primary and the other are Site System Servers.
Would I need to install the CU4 update only to the Primary server? or would I have to deploy the CU4 to the other 14 Site Systems Servers.
I've been reading the following
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3026739
http://dekeukelaere.com/2014/01/30/implementing-configuration-manager-2012-sp1-cumulative-update-4/
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2014/01/29/now-available-cumulative-update-4-for-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-service-pack-1.aspx
And also if they don't have CU3 on them would I need to do that first, or would
CU4 encompass previous updates.
Cheers for any help on this matter.

When they're only site systems with a role installed than those roles will be upgraded with the primary site installation. Here is one of the many nice posts about the installation process (and order):
http://www.scconfigmgr.com/2015/02/03/install-configmgr-2012-r2-cu4-in-your-hierarchy/
Also, you don't have to install CU3 first.

Installation of SCCM 2012 R2 and SQL Server 2014 error

Hello All,
I am attempting to setup SQL Server 2014 and SCCM 2012 R2 but I keep running into an error stating that "Configuration Manager requires Microsoft SQL Server
2008 SP2 w/ CU9........ all the way up to Microsoft SQL Server 2012 with CU2 or higher." I am using all evaluation versions for this configuration as we are looking to test and evaluate the products. I was trying it with SQL 2014 because I was running
into the same error with SQL 2012 and according to "http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2015/03/30/updated-sc2012-configmgr-sp1-and-sc2012r2-configmgr-support-sql-server-2014.aspx" SQL
2014 is supported with SCCM 2012 R2. SQL is installed locally on the same box.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tucker
Update: When running the Pre-Req check these are some of the failed returns.....
SQL Server Edition: Failed: Configuration Manager primary site and central administration site don't support SQL Server Express Edition
Not sure why it is recognizing SQL Express as this is a new machine.
SQL Server service running account: Failed: The logon account for the SQL Server service cannot be a local user account, NT SERVICE\<sql service name> or LOCAL SERVICE. You must configure
the SQL Server service to use a valid domain account, NETWORK SERVICE, or LOCAL SYSTEM.
For the SQL Service I am using a domain account created specifically for this.

This has nothing to do with moving or restoring. The kb article says "This hotfix provides updated versions of the setup files and enables new installations
of the System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager site database role and the System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1 site database role in Microsoft SQL Server 2014"

Automate USER BASED PACKAGE installations in SCCM 2012

Hi All,
I want to automate the installation of software(in my case a user based package) from the Application Catalog.
Here is just some general information:
1. All software(Applications and Packages) deployed to Device Colllections will be published in Software Center
2. All software(Applications and Packages) deployed to User Based Collections will be published in the Application Catalog
3. Once software has been deployed from the Application Catalog, it is also available/visible in Software Centre .. this could be confusing for (scripted) test purposes!
To Automate installations i tested the following (Powershell) methods:
Methode 1 - Install Device Based Packages (This works)
$SoftwareCenter = New-Object -ComObject UIResource.UIResourceMgr
# to show applications
$Application = $SoftwareCenter.GetAvailableApplications() | where {$_.name -like $APPNAME}
# to install an application
$SoftwareCenter.ExecuteProgram($Application.id, $Application.PackageId, $true)
(once an User Based Package has been installed from the Application Catalog, it will be shown in the results of this method .. but initially it don't!!)
Method 2 - Install Device based Applications (This works)
Invoke-WmiMethod -Namespace root\ccm\clientsdk -Class CCM_Application -Name Install -ArgumentList 0,"xxAPP scope IDxx",$True,$False,1,1
Method 3 - Install User based Applications
Invoke-WmiMethod -Namespace root\ccm\clientsdk -Class CCM_Application -Name Install -ArgumentList 0,"xxAPP scope IDxx",$False,$False,1,1
(once an User Based Application has been installed from the Application Catalog, this method can be used .. but initially it can't!!)
Method 4 - Install User Based Packages (NOT WORKING)
This solution is based on an (scripted) installation from the Application Catalog. Information can be found on the following sites:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2012/09/19/extending-the-application-catalog-in-system-center-2012-configuration-manager.aspx
http://allthingsconfigmgr.wordpress.com/2012/10/02/application-catalog-uncovered/#more-284
You can see the usable operations/methodes, by using the following URL in your SCCM 2012 environment:
http://YOURSITE/CMApplicationCatalog/ApplicationViewService.asmx
The method i tried for an installation part is 'installapplication', see example below:
$service.Installapplication($appid, $deviceid, $null)
This syntax is correct because it's giving a result that indicates the my command was correct(when i change the variables it produces an error), but that's it ... no application is installed.
For the record: the operations/methods 'RequestApplicationForUser and GetApplications' are working fine.
There is also log file 'ServicePortalWebService.log' on the Application Catalog Server in
C:\Program Files\SMS_CCM\CMApplicationCatalogSvc\Logs, where i can see that Installation call is (correctly) be done.
To be short:
Is there anybody who can tell me how to automate (with Powershell) an USER BASED PACKAGE installation?
With kind regards,
Hayo Veenstra

Thanks for your reaction.
What i want is creating shortcuts in the startmenu of a user, that initiates a SCCM software installation. We also use this method for our SCCM 2007 environment by initating advertisments. I do not want a required user deployments, because when that user
logs on on another machine (for a short time) .. all his/her software will be deployed. So i do not want to install unnescessary software .. only what a user initiates.
Do you have other suggestions?
I'm not sure about the shortcuts. But, as for required deployments to users installing on all machines they log onto: Not if you have User Device Affinity running for you. You can set a requirement in the application to only install on a user's
primary device. Another option that we often deploy is to use App-V to deploy a virtual version of that app if the device they logged onto is not their primary. When they log off, it goes away. This is all done using User Device Affinity.
This is new in 2012.

Offline installation of SCCM 2012 r2 Client

Hi,
I have to install SCCM 2012 Clients on some VPN client machines VPN Connectivity is slow i have to install the cleints offline.
for this I have copied ccmsetup.exe file on local machines and run below Command to complete the installation....
clients are getting installed but taking a lot of time.. in that case i am still showing some files are downloading from SCCM server in ccmsetup.log
please suggest i don not want to download any files from sccm server for the installation on VPN client machines..
how can i achieve this , i do not want to use any script to make a complex installation just i want to use manual command line as below .. should i copy the complete client folder to VPN client machines for the installation... such things i have also checked
but in that case still files are being downloaded from SCCM Server.
ccmsetup.exe
ccmsetup.exe /mp:SCCM /logon SMSSITECODE=AWS FSP=SCCM
Shailendra Dev

hi Narcoticoo,
here what is my exactly source directory is this D:\SCCMAgent
or Sccm server ??
you mean to say the installation is happening w/o any file copying from sccm server , and local source is in use D:\SCCMAgent
for required file copying.. (that i specified in cmd) ?

ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2nd+OneLinkPro Dock = No IP Address During Imaging (OSD) via SCCM 2012 R2

I'm trying to image a second generatoin X1 Carbon that also has a OneLinkPro dock attached via SCCM 2012 R2.
The USB stick is plugged into the dock, as is Ethernet & power.
When I boot into the preinstallation environment, I don't have an IP address.
The USB stick is fine - works on all 26 other devices here
The network cable is fine - I'm able to get an IP & image from other systems
I tried two OneLinkPro docks, same problem on both
If I use the Ethernet adapter, it works fine
I'm convinced its a driver issue at this point.
I was directed to www.lenovo.com/onelinkdrivers to locate OneLink dock drivers, and I've downloaded the package.
The downloaded EXE (tp_onelink_dock.exe) extracts to C:\SWTOOLS\DRIVERS\Dock by default
In C:\SWTOOLS\DRIVERS\Dock you have another EXE Setup_OneLink_Dock_Lenovo_v10826.exe
This immediately launches an installshield setup (run from %temp%)
There no options to extract the drivers - it just installs the drivers, and none of the switches I've thrown at it have yielded any results.
I found a data1.cab file but I can't seem to extract anything with 7Zip or expand
How are folks with second gen X1 Carbons who use SCCM for OSD successfully imaging those machines with the OneLinkPro dock? (without the use of the Ethernet adapter of course.)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Fauxlution:
Install drivers on an x86 machine
Navigate to C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Onelinkdock (or something like that)
Grab the driver directories & save them elsewhere
Repeat process for x64 machine because the installer will only install drivers for the architecture of the system its run on. (x86 system = x86 drivers; x64 system = x64 drivers)
Clean up the drivers (extra non-essential files in there)
Import both sets of drivers into SCCM
Bake architecture specific Realtek drivers into boot image
Couldn't be simpler.

After SUP install event id 1 appearing after installation of SCCM 2012 R2

I've just built a SCCM 2012 R2 environment. All appears ok, there aren't any noticable errors within SCCM. However since installing the SUPs on my CAS and two secondary sites I noticed the following alert appearing in event viewer.
Event ID 1 - Critical
System.NullReferenceException\r\nObject reference not set to an instance of an object.\r\n at Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.ManagementProvider.WqlQueryEngine.WqlQueryPropertySingleItem.get_IntegerValue()
at Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.AdminConsole.SoftwareUpdateHelper.DisplayUtilities.GetSupSyncStatusIcon(Object sender, ScopeNode scopeNode, IResultObject resultObject, AssemblyDescription& resourceAssembly)\r\n
Has anyone seen this before? Should I be concerned?
(SQL is installed locally. I've used a named instance.)
Thanks

Sorry - my mistake. We have 1 CAS and 2 Primary Sites. We have already had a discussion about our need for a CAS - see link
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/0702f44e-8d8c-47cc-a825-5750d70a4cbd/replication-link-failing-or-degraded?forum=configmanagergeneral
I have checked all the logs above. SUPSetup.log says installation successful and there are no errors in the wsusctrl.log, wsyncmr.log and wcm.log log files.
I haven't yet synchronized the software Updates for one of the Primaries with the CAS, as I was planning to kick this off this evening. The other Primary has sync'd with the CAS no problem.

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.

WSUS installation on SCCM 2012 R2

For the life of us we cannot install WSUS on our SCCM 2012 R2 server.
We tried the \wsusutil.exe postinstall SQL_INSTANCE_NAME="ABC\SUSDB" CONTENT_DIR=X:\WSUS
We keep getting this error message below, and the highlighted part is the problem.
The account we are using has access to 'local admin' rights of the SCCM box. Also access to SQL
We have the proper permissions on the folder, adding also Network Service, etc.
We cannot get WSUS up and running and keep hitting a wall.   It will not create WSUS website
Any suggestions would help.

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
From your log snip-it, it looks like the firewall is causing your problem. Temporary turn off the firewall and see if that solves your problem.

How to obtain hardware key during first installation?

I'm installing SAP Netweaver 7.0 and got stucked when the installer requested Solution Manager Key. I went to SAP site to generate the key and there I was requested the hardware key. As far as I understand, the hardware key may be obtained using saplicense program but I don't have it installed yet.
How can I provide the hardwaer key during installation?
Thanks
Renato

Hi,
You need solution manager system to generate the installer key..
Login into Solution manager system - and enter T-code SMSY
You may need to do the following steps:
1. Create a system by right clicking on System entry and select Create new system.
Enter the System Name i.e., SID (3 chars)
Product = (select from the list you which to install)
Product Version= (select from the list you which to install)
Save the entries.
2. Select Menu Item "System--->Other Configuration" and enter the SID which you have created earlier.
Enter the Server Name(hostname)
Finally click on Generate "Installation/Upgrade Key Button "
The system generates a Key ,copy that Key and paste it in the SAPINST screen when it prompts for Solman Key.

SCCM 2012 installation problem..prerequisite fails

Hi there,
I am trying to install SCCM 2012 on Server 2012 and its seems that the prerequisite checker fails on 3 checks, all related to SQL.
SQL Server service running account
required SQL Server Collation
SQL Server sysadmin rights
And I wonder how exactly the installation of SCCM 2012 is looking for the SQL Server?
Is it through Active directory? What if i had 4 different SQL Servers. How can he knows where to look his server?
I do not remember that i entered during the wizard any SQL Server name.
I think i am getting those errors because, the installation can't find any SQL Server.
I have 3 Virtual machines:
1. Server 2012 as DC
2. Server 2012 as SQL Server 2012 RTM with CU3
3. Server 2012 as Sccm 2012 R2 x64
Any ideas how to troubleshoot this problem?

Try removing Use typical installation options for a stand-alone primary site option.
When using this option, Setup automatically configures the site as stand-alone primary site, uses a default installation path, a
local installation of the default instance of SQL
Server for the site database, a local management point, a local distribution point, and configures the site with English and the display language of the operating system on the
primary site server if it matches one of the languages that Configuration Manager supports.
