Streamlined Client Management and VDI with Configuration Manager 2012

Hi,
There is an interesting blog about managing ConfigMgr 2012 Clients in a VDI environment.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2011/11/15/streamlined-client-management-and-vdi-with-configuration-manager-2012.aspx
But I didn't find any way or description in the blog on how to prepare the client in the base image used for VDI. Do we still have to make the client unique before shutting down the base image? Or will this be done automatically?
Are these new attributes (IsVirtual, IsMachineChangesPersistent ...) enabled by default?
Thanks!
Gr. Cédric.

No this is handled by ConfigMgr post SP1
Are these new attributes (IsVirtual, IsMachineChangesPersistent ...) enabled by default?
For XenDesktop -no you will need to enable them in the client settings (not sure for other virtual
solutions)
In the SCCM Console go to the Administration workspace; click Client Settings. Right click the Default Client Settings and choose Properties
Choose Hardware Inventory and click Set Classes.
Click the Add button and then click Connect.
Enter the computer name of a master image device that has the SCCM client installed.
Enter root\ccmvdi as the WMI namespace and click Connect.
Select CCM_DesktopMachine. Click Ok.

I'm a Graphic Designer and Animator with a Mid 2012 15" MBP...Programs slowing need up grade

Hey everyoe,
I'm a Graphic Designer and Animator with a Mid 2012 15" MBP. My programs get REALLY SLOW, ToonBoom Harmony and Sometimes Illustrator, HELP! I upgraded my Ram to 16GB LONG time ago and it's made a big difference but still the stuff I make is semi complicated/detailed I can't imagine this is the strength of my MBP I refuse to accept that. WIth that said HELP ME PLZ!!! I have deadlines and I dont know what else to do! Steve Jobs my life is your hands right now man...

Maz0327,
if you boot into Safe mode, log in, and run your graphic design and animation apps, do they run just as slowly then?

Client Auth and SSL with Seeburger AS2 adapter

Hello All,
We are using the Seeburger AS2 adapter in our landscape and I am in the process of setting the same up and have made quite some progress in all my issues.
and I hope that you will be able to help me out.
1. Server SSL on Receiver AS2 adapter
I am sending a message from XI using the Receiver AS2 adapter to my AS2 test tool using Server SSL.
This is working perfectly fine. In my AS2 adapter I have selected HTTPS as the protocol and the message goes via SSL to the target test tool, is processed and the MDN comes back to XI perfectly.
The issue here is :
Irrespective of what is provided in the Server Certificate ( Keystore) , the message goes to my target test tool. I even left this field blank with no certificate entry and still the SSL connection was established and the message went to the target system.
Is there no validation that XI does here? I am lost what is the use of this entry Server Certificate if XI blindly accepts all SSL connections.
I am using a Decentral Adapter Engine with LoadBalancer.
2. Client Auth on Receiver AS2 Adapter
I tried to perform Client Authentication by proving my Server's private key in the AS2 adapter. The corresponding public key is loaded in my partner's Keystore.
XI error's with the error "SSL handshake failed - Bad Certificate" .
I am not sure why XI is erroring out here and I have a feeling that I have misunderstood the use of the fields in the AS2 adapter,
Server Certificate ( Keystore) and Private Key for Client Authentication.
Has anyone tried this? If further details are needed, I will be able to furnish the same.
Regards,
Bhavesh

Hello Jens,
Thanks for your reply.
1. The Encryption and Signature part of the Interface is working absolutely fine and I use the same concept highlighted by you - The Sender always signs the message with his private key and encrypts with message with the partner's public key in the corresponding agreement.
2. Server SSL is also working perfectly fine, i.e, when XI initiates the connection the SSL connection is established to the partner.
3. Mutual Auth was the issue where I was getting the bad certificate issue.
To investigate further I moved the same setup to my Central Adapter Engine and all the issues I had described above seem to have vanished and things work exactly as I was expecting, ie.
The field : Server Certificate (Keystore) is used to provide the Target System's Server SSL's public Certificate.
The field : Private Key for Client Authentication is used where XI provides its own Server SSL's private key for Mutual / Client Authentication.
The problem seems to be with my Decentral Adapter engine and not my central adapter engine and so I guess,
1. I either have the incorrect certificates on my Decentral Adapter Engine.
2. I also have 2 instances of a Decentral Adapter Engine with a Webdispatcher and so maybe the 2 Visual Admin's of the 2 Decentral AE are inconsistent.
3. Maybe it was just a long day and I did something wrong
Will investigate further for the root cause but I am glad that my concepts remain intact and things do work as I expected them to work.
A blog on all this is on the cards sometime soon.
Cheers,
Bhavesh

HT201334 can I push updates and apps with configurator

can I push via 4G updates and Apps to ios devices with Apple configurator?

no apple configuator only works over USB
for OTA updates you'll need an MDM solution such as OSX server profile manager
or simple mdm, meraki, both are free

ECC Client export and import with BW data model

Dear BW Expert,
We are now have BW QAS system which is connecting to ECC600QAS.
Now we are going to:
     First >> Export data ECC600QAS.
     Second Drop this client
     Third Create client with the same logical name as ECC600QAS and then import again with the same logical system name is ECC600QAS. Ofcourse we will re-establish again connection between ECC600QAS and BW QAS.
In this case, do we need to create all data model or mapping data in BW again. Please help on this.
Thanks and Regards,
Kim Cheo.

Hi Reddy,
All your notes do not mention anything about in case Client refresh with the same logical name.
Our case is that we do:
      Step 1:         Export client logical name is "ECC600QAS".
      Step 2:         Drop client "ECC600QAS"
      Step 3:         Import again and create the same client logical name "ECC600QAS".
      In this case do we need to create again all data model, mappying rule or transformation.
      Really, I can not found any idea there in all your note.
Thanks and regards,
Kim CheolYeon Lee.

Diff between Discount and Rebate with configuration Step of rebate

Waht is the deffrence between discount and rebate in SD , Pls provide the Rebate configuration Step

provide the Rebate configuration Step
Please avoid asking like this. Before posting, please search the forum and try on your own.
Coming to your question,
Waht is the deffrence between discount and rebate
discount is as and when you generate billing documents, straightaway, you offer discount on the invoice value, whereas, rebate is once you reach the agreed sales turnover, some percentage of value would be created once in a year or twice depending upon the agreement.

Adobe Reader DC has errors and crashes with Windows Server 2012 R2

We recently installed Adobe Reader DC version of Adobe on our Windows Server 2012 R2 servers and are having issues since the launch. Few of the issues we have seen are as follows:
This version is a bit clunky and hangs.
Has a lot of pop-up boxes that appears each time I open a document.
Each time I open a document there is a Welcome pop-up box
It is a bit slow to respond between clicks
If I click on any options like File. The application hangs and then crashes. (see attached crash message)
Any help to resolve this would be helpful.
Thank you

I just had the same issue on a 2012 R2 Remote Desktop server. I fixed it by creating a registry key called Privileged under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\DC and then creating a DWORD value in that key called bProtectedMode and setting the value to 0. This was on a brand-new server that never had a previous version of any Adobe software on it.
This is a major kludge. Hopefully Adobe will fix it soon. By the way, here's the crash signature we were getting:

VPP needs an extra code with Configurator?

I've got a question about configurator and VPP codes. The help file for Configurator says you import an app and then import the spreadsheet of codes to authorize the apps.
So I purchased 32 copies of an app for the 32 ipads in our cart.
I went into iTunes and redeemed 1 of the codes so that I could download the app.
I imported this app into Configurator.
I sync'd with the 32 iPads.
Configurator says I'm short 1 code, I assume since I used 1 to download the app.
So how am I supposed to download the app without using one of the codes or buying an extra copy of the app? It's not a big deal for a .49 app, but if I was spending 9.99 on each app, I don't want to have to buy an extra code just so I can get the app to download. Do I have to redeem in the AppStore on an iPad instead of in iTunes?
Has anyone else tried this and had this problem?
Thanks for any suggestions

I have also run in to this problem. Considering how large the denominations are of Volume Vouchers, it's unacceptable to think that we should have to purchase one extra of each paid App we'd like.
I also have run in to a corresponding issue with this. After I imported my codes and synced up 4 of my 5 iPads, like you said, all 5 of my codes were used because of the one taken by iTunes. After reading the Configurator instructions, I tried to delete the App from Configurator, re-add it, and re-import my code spreadsheet. Now for all 5 codes it says "This code has been redeemed" and will not even let me reinstall it on an iPad it was previously "redeemed" on through Configurator. If I run the 4 iPads that I've already prepared and supervised with Configurator back through, I'll lose this paid App entirely. Considering it's a $20 App and I'm out $100 total, using Configurator with any paid Apps appears far too risky. Is there no better way to manage Paid App redemption codes? Am I missing something?

SQL Server 2000\2005 compatibility with Active Directory 2012

Hi All,
We are currently using Active Directory 2003 and will be upgrading to AD 2012. I'm trying to determine if there is any known compatibility issues when running older versions of SQL Server (2000 and 2005) when upgrading to AD 2012. I've
read forums from when others went from AD 2003 to AD 2008 and didn't experience any issues. We have the newer versions of SQL but I'm not too concerned about these. Any advice would be greatly appreciated? Has anyone been through
this process.
Thanks,

Hi CraftsmanRobert,
Based on my understanding, you used Active Directory 2003, then it would be upgraded to Active Directory 2012. You wanted to run older versions of SQL Server (2000 and 2005) with Active Directory 2012.
Firstly, there can be a compatibility problem when run older version with Active Directory 2012. SQL Server 2005 (the release version and service packs) and earlier versions of SQL Server are not supported on Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012,
Windows 8.1, or Windows 8. For more information, please refer to this article: How to use SQL Server in Windows and Windows Server environments (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681562/en-us).
Besides, Microsoft doesn’t provide assisted support for SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 already. Please upgrade the existing instance of SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 to a new version like SQL Server 2012. You can download SQL Server 2012 Express
from this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062.

Config Manager 2012 client upgrade (via package with batch commands)

Hello all,
I would like to kindly ask for your help with my question regarding a SCCM 2012 R2 client upgrade (from RTM to R2)
Recently, we have upgraded from RTM version of SCCM2012 to R2 (with the PXE hotfix applied)
During the process, I have choose not to upgrade clients when the SP1 was applied and go straight for the R2, which is not a problem I believe.
My question is regarding the pre-created packages, that are showing up in the console. I believe, that they are the easiest way to upgrade clients via packages in SCCM. (we can't push the installation due network policy)
This hotfix is stored here: \\"FQDN_site_server"\SMS_TSP\hotfix\KB2905002\Client\x64 (in case of x64 version, x86 is the same but x86 in the end)
The executed file from this path is this with this command following:
msiexec.exe /p configmgr2012ac-r2-kb2905002-x64.msp /L*v %TEMP%\configmgr2012ac-r2-kb2905002-x64.msp.LOG /q REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=mous
Anyway, when we install the clients when we deploy it for the first on a machine, that has no client or we reinstall it, we do it with help of this batch command:
set curdir=%~dp0
%curdir%ccmsetup.exe SMSSITECODE=TSP /NoCRLCheck /UsePKIcert /forceinstall SMSMP=HTTPS://CML.LTSPRAGUE.CZ CCMHOSTNAME=CML.LTSPRAGUE.CZ
I just need to know, if I can use the prepared package from the console in our case and if it will keep the settings when the package is deployed.
I belive I have found a similar questin here on the forums:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c9b40687-1843-44c7-b61b-fd26d53ab90b/cumulative-update-3-and-agent-upgrade?forum=configmanagerdeployment
The second answer might the answer I'm looking for, but can you explain that to me like I'm five years old? :)
Please, let me know.
The IT guys from LukOIL

I'm not sure, because of my short time at the company, but there are historical security reasons for setting the push installation off.
Second reason are strict firewall rules used here. SCCM Agent may contact site server through HTTPS - that is a one way communication, so push installation isn't possible.
Don't mix "client push" and "automatic client update". See
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgr_geek_speak/archive/2013/09/09/using-configuration-manager-automatic-client-upgrade-to-upgrade-to-the-latest-system-center-endpoint-protection-client.aspx for further details. (And yes, the article talks about SCEP, but
it also tells details about the entire process)
Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de
Thank you for the article and your, but I find it easier to deploy packages right now.
I have found out, that there is a folder named "ClientUpgrade" in ConfigMgr installation folder.
I used this and made a package out of it. Deployment went fine as well as the installation of the upgrade for the client, but there is a problem now, that I don't see any software in the "Software Center" in "Available Software" - and there should be, since
I have may SW pointed to me and the list was populated before I have done the upgrade to the new version.
This may be a simple problem, but I really don't know what's wrong.

Manage servers in DMZ and IBCM with the same MP/SUP/DP in DMZ

Hi all,
I already asked a similar question on this forum about a month ago. I got some amswers but couldn't make it work and I still need some extra help.
I use SCCM 2012 R2 with CU3, I only have one Primary site installed in my internal domain and a management point in my DMZ domain (different forests, no trust) that serves internet clients.
I also want this DMZ MP to manage the intranet clients in DMZ (Web servers...) and I can't make it work.
I thought I could take advantage of the registry AllowedMPs offered by the CU3 because my DMZ clients are not allowed to communicate with the internal primary site on 80/443.
I would like to avoid using the CCMALWAYSINF switch during the SCCM Client installation and to not treat my servers as internet clients. It works but I don't want the DMZ clients to use windows update to download the updates.
Thanks again for your help.

Hello,
Peter, thanks for your quick answer.
1. I have a client certificate and it works because i was able to connect my DMZ server to the MP as an Internet client.
2. I created the certificated with both names (Internet and Intranet), I used the alernative names filed.
3. The MP and DP allow Intranet and Internet connnection.
Here is the other thread I created a while ago, so you can have all the information

BI 11g with Configuration Manager

Hi,
I have a problem with setting up Configuration Manager with Oracle BI 11.1.1.5. The installation ends with succes but in Oracle Support i can't see any information about my BI platform configuration. Do you have any ideas what may be wrong?

Hi,
The problem is that when i run collect and upload my BI configuration data, I can't see them in Orcle Support Portal. I navigate to the 'System' tab and there is only a little information about host operating system (Widows), no Databases, Middleware and others. My Configuration Manager installation is in MIDDLEWARE_HOME\Oracle_BI1\ccr and I have configured it with my CI number and user name. Is Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.5 supported ??
Thanks,

MDT integrated with Configuration manager

Hi Team,
Just wondering if it is suggested not to open or use MDT console workbench once its been integrated with configuration manager?
I been using it for a while and never faced any issues. I believe it should be fine to use the MDT and configuration manager both even after they been integrated. I generally use MDT workbench for building image and then use Configuration
manager MDT based TS to deploy it. I don't see any technical risk. Any advice\best practice? Thanks.
Regards,

There should be no problem opening up the MDT console on a machine with ConfigMgr installed, they are separate programs.
