Deploying Office 365 Pro Plus using System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1

Hello,
I am trying to deploy Office 365 Pro Plus to my client machines (more than 100) via. System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1. It will use one administrator account for installation. But as per the licensing, we can install Office for up to 5 PCs/Macs
and 5 more Windows tablets/iPads with one Office 365 Pro Plus licenses. If this is the case, then I cannot install Office 365 Pro Plus with one admin account to my 100+ machines, as it will violate the licenses of O365 Pro Plus.
So, what is the alternative approach?
Thanks
Raj

If this is the case, then I cannot install Office 365 Pro Plus with one admin account to my 100+ machines, as it will violate the licenses of O365 Pro Plus.
Hi,
this is incorrect.
There is no licensing restriction/control for the *installation* account at all, the licensing is related to who is *using* Office365ProPlus *after* installation is performed. This control, is implemented by the Microsoft Account, or OrgID, used to sign-in/activate
to Office365 when *using* Office365ProPlus.

VHD for System Center Configuration Manager 2012 R2

I just downloaded of TechNet the VHD of System Center Configuration Manager 2012 R2. However when you bring it online it is in the domain Conteso. I have searched all over TechNet and the web, but there is no record of the admin password nor is there
any documented instructions with the download.

IBM Endpoint Manager / BigFix Versus System Center Configuration Manager

Hi All,
My organization's security team (which I'm not on) has been tasked with researching patching solutions for our environment which includes mostly Windows workstations but a good amount of Linux systems as well. Total amount of workstations covered
is approximately 13,000 spread across about five main sites.
We've been using SMS 2003 / SCCM 2007 for over a decade but unfortunately the out-of-the-box Linux support in the patching arena remains to be relatively limited even in the most recent versions of SCCM. We've also had SCCM client health
issues which has hindered the deployment of some patches and/or patching status reporting. Recently, we've written a few scripts to help with the client health issues but the Linux support issue still remain.
The current proposal, which I'm reviewing, is to move all Linux and Windows patching over to use the IBM Endpoint Manager (BigFix) product. To this end, I've got a few questions to throw out there for general feedback.
1) Has anyone had any real-life positive or negative experiences with IBM Endpoint Manager they'd like to share, especially in relation to the patching component?
2) Has anyone had any real-life positive or negative experiences with using SCCM + another plugin product for SCCM that they'd be willing to share?
3) Has anyone attempted to integrate BigFix patch deployment into SCCM OSD deployment and/or have thoughts on how to prevent SCCM mandatory deployments from interfering with BigFix activity.
Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up.
You should post this question in an IBM forum
There are lots of blogs that talk about using CM07 with 3<sup>rd</sup> party patching tools. There is where I would start.
This question should be posted to a Bigfix forum.

System Center Configuration Manager input reports in Sharepoint

This might be a tricky one.
I have a report that I use, and input is the user name. The username gives me the PC name, and that gives me the option for copy / paste the PC-name into my remote viewer.
Is it possible to implement Computers for a specific user name into my sharepoint?
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

It does not depend on the number of distribution points.
That marketing material you link to is from 2009 and was inaccurate even back then. Take a look at the Gartner research - Altiris is a dying product that's stopped even trying to compete with ConfigMgr.
If you want things to deploy fast, that is certainly possible to do. There are customers who expect software to be installed in less than 5 minutes by ConfigMgr. This is achievable, but has trade offs. ConfigMgr is designed to manage hundreds
of thousands of devices, so by default it isn't set up to do things instantly.
How often are your clients checking for policy?
How often is the collection you are deploying to updated?
As soon as the client finds out about a required deployment (by downloading policy about being in a collection with a deployment), it will start trying to download the content for the deployment from the distribution point and then run the program. Make
sure the device gets in the collection right away and have the client check in more often, and the install will start quicker. But, that will put more load on your management points.

SQL Server 2012 deployment with System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2012

hi,
we have tried to deploy the SQL Server 2012 to our development machines with SCCM 2012 without success.
Commandline parameters or Configuration.ini in either case the installation failed without any useful errorlog.
Exists any howto which covers this scenario?
regards
genne

Hello,
Please see the following article about some requirements for SQL Server instances intended for SCCM 2012:
http://www.sqlcoffee.com/Tips0019.htm
Could please check to see if a Summary.txt log file exists after those installation attempts? The following article may help you locate the file on disk:

Please share this log file with us, if possible.

SCCM 2012 : Deploying System Center Configuration Manager 2012, Required Desinging Help.

Hi,
I required some one to help designing an SCCM 2012 Solution. I dont have any knowledge on Design Part, This is my first deployment
My goal: Interconnect 3 remote offices and The infrastructure is as follows:
Primary Site Server ( HQ ) : 1000 users
Secondary Site ( Location1) : 2000 Users
Secondary Site ( Location2) : 2000 Users
Link Between Primary and Secondary Sites : 8 MBPS MPLS link
Database will be installed on a remote SQL 2012 Server.
Please let me know is there any tool to generate Design document.
If possible please design and put the Image on the blog.

Why using a remote SQL server? I'd install it locally. There is no tool available.
Just make sure that you are using a standalone primary site (therefore no CAS) and place a secondary at location 1 and 2.

Someone sorted out this issue by installing API 1.2 and copying the dll files to the service manager server ,service folder and replacing it with API 2.0 dll files.
Also, your question is related to SCSM, please post at SCSM forum if you have further question.

Upgrade System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 CU6 -- 2012 RTM issues (Assembly related exception in log)

Hi guys
I am currently performing a distributed, complex upgrade with a customer:
4 management servers (1 being RMS), both databases (OM & DW) on a single SQL Server (2008 R2 SP2)
We moved over the RMS role to another server and decomissioned the old one due to it being a 2003 server.
Then we upgraded all non-RMS management servers.
We had some issues with them as well (same error in the log), but when we reinstalled the 2007 R2 binaries & patches and redid the upgrade it came through fine.
The RMS however keeps throwing the same error. Things I tried:
- Full clean of the server including momclean and msizap, then reinstall the RMS and retry the upgrade
- Reregister of the msiexec server
I am suspecting some issues with assemblies and / or GAC, but no clear proof on that, only that it crashes after performing assembly operations.
Below an extract from the RemoveMOMServer.log (the error occurs when uninstalling SCOM 2007 R2)
Can anyone help out or give me some pointers on possible causes?
Many thanks in advance!

Extending System Center Operations Manager Classes & Discovery SCOM 2007 R2

I want to add some additional attributes to SCOM that are populated from information in another database.....for example.
I have a CMDB that contains information about the support level for each server (i.e. gold, silver, bronze), i want to be able to display this information in the SCOM console. This needs to cover both Windows and Unix/linux servers.
I have played around with creating a custom MP and have created a new class, and custom script discovery using a vbscript to query the CMDB SQL database containing the info that i want....I have got to the point where i can see the new column in SCOM console
but cannot get it to populate with any data.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks

System Center Service Manager 2012 SP1 upgrade install error

I am trying to upgrade my SCSM 2012 front end app server to SP1 and am getting these failures in the log when it fails with the error "Service Manager is not in a valid state"

Can someone tell me how to get this rectified? The WCS portal is installed and running and has been for months. The DW is upgraded but I cannot get the SharePoint self service portal or the App server to upgrade due to this error.

Hello
One question you have the website installed on the same
server on which you have the Server Management
Server, so if you can
not make your upgrade to
SP1, this changed because
a prerequisite of System Center Service
Manager 2012 SP1 in which you can not have
the server Mangement and
website on the same server they have to be
separate.
