Task seqence according to departments in a company and MDT 2013

Hi,
I have a problem and I need help from the SCCM community.
So here we go:
I am in a process of upgrading SCCM from 2007 to 2012, great. I have setup lab environment which consists of 2 DC, 1 DB server, 1 SCCM 2012 Server and 2 test clients (Windows 7).
My question is about planning and design of the task sequence for various departments in our company. I have no idea how to approach it or how to implement it. Right now we use HTA script.
The idea is to deploy a set of applications like Skype, acrobat, 7-zip to all windows 7 clients, and then based on what I choose in MDT(this is the actual procedure which we use in 2007):
…have other applications which are specific to the chosen department.
I want to move away from the hta script in SCCM 2012 but I have no idea how to do it. Only thing that I know it MIGHT work would be to make MDT 2013 TS user driven OS deployment TS.
This drags another questions:
Is there anywhere on the internet a guide for this? Youtube or something that I was not able to find.
Would that mean that I would have many Task Sequences?
By that I mean for example.
“Deploy Windows 7 – QA”
“Deploy Windows 7 – DEV”
“Deploy Windows 7 – IT”
“Deploy Windows 7 – CS”
“Deploy Windows 7 – PM”
And if I have windows 8.1 which I will that would mean too many TSs displayed I want to avoid that and have only 1 for windows 7 and 1 for windows 8.1 clients. I want to make a TS which deploys applications according
to what I choose in UDI Wizard Designer (Am I right? Is that being made in UDI?).
I would love to see a solution like this:
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,
I am a bit stuck on the following...
I have created a custom UDI page called Gather data for OSD but i am not sure if I am doing a good job with variables:
I want to enter a name for the computer and for TS to of course give a name that I want to the computer.
I also would like to choose departments because then i can deploy different applications with different departments. I am basically trying to recreate the procedure written in my first post but without HTA:
Am I on the right path or?
Thanks,

  • Task sequence fails after upgrading to 2012 R2 and MDT 2013

    After upgrading to 2012 R2, my task sequence fails after the Setup Windows and ConfigMGR & Restart Computer. Instead of continuing to run the task sequence and load up the MDT Toolkit Package, it just stops at the Windows 7 login screen.
    Do I need to create new toolkit & settings packages with MDT 2013 settings? Or do I just need to create a new task sequence?
    I can't figure out what log to look at on the VM that I am imaging. If someone can point it out maybe there's some useful information. Thanks.
    My task sequence

    It sounds a lot like that it could be failing at the client installation. Please take a look at the client installation logs.
    My Blog: http://www.petervanderwoude.nl/
    Follow me on twitter: pvanderwoude
    Here are the log files from c:\windows\ccmsetup\logs .. I took a glance and things run with success 0 which should mean no error right? The system also has the client installed with the CU2 patch.
    Client Logs
    Searched a bit online and people are saying it's due to the incorrect boot image. I was using a WinPE 5.0 I created on this TS but I'm going to make another and see where it goes.
    This was the solution.

  • Consolidating Company and Profit Centers

    Our business requirement is to consolidate bottom up whereby first eliminating interunit among profit centers below a company and then proceed to eliminate interunit among companies as well as COI among companies.
    EG scenario:
    Company A with Profit Centers A1, A2, A3
    Company B with Profit Centers B1, B2, B3
    Transactions among A1 and A2 and A3 should be eliminated when consol task is run at Company A level. Same goes for B1, B2 and B3 should be eliminated when consol task is run at Company B level.
    Then continue with the scenario:
    Company A buys Company B at 70%
    At our current Matrix Organization settings, it required us to select WHICH profit center of Company A buys which profit center of Company B. But our case, when we want to COI among Company A and Company B, all profit centers should be in (and already eliminated) thus not necessary to specify which profit centers but just need to specify which Company buys which Company.
    Is our current Matrix set up is not right for our business requirement of this scenario? Would appreciate if anyone can advise on a better approach.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Kooi Heng,
    First consolidation happens according to the hierachy either PC pr company code.
    In your case you have to define two hierarchies one for PC and one for Com Code.
    Sobased o these hierarchies system will do elimination.
    Also remember, when you are doing CC hier. cons, system will read only CC data, same for PC also, so dont get confused in creating hierarchies with CC and PC, both are different Charecteristrics all together.
    All the best,

  • How can I use a Lookup task to lookup from my SQL Result set and have a join

    So in my Control Flow, I have an Execute SQL Task which gets my Table result set. I then have a Foreach Loop Container that iterates through the result set and a Data Flow. The first task in the Data Flow is an OLE DB Source SQL Command that retrieves data
    columns associated with my result set. I then do a Derived Column so I can SUBSTRING from one of my data columns and now I want to perform a Lookup to my Application Database.
    How do I code my Lookup task to utilize my SQL Result set variable and match on it? I cannot use the GUI for the Lookup task as my Lookup has to have some JOINS in it.
    Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

    Can you expand on that? I'm sorry but I am new and a novice to the SSIS world and I want to do this as best I can and as efficiently as I can. Are you saying that Rajen's way suggested above is the way to go?
    A little background....external data from a 3rd party client. I'v staged that external data to a SQL Server staging table. I have to try and match that data up to our database using SSN, DOB, and Gender...and if I can't match that way then I have to try
    and match by Name. I need to make sure that there is only one and only one account for that match. If I cannot match and match one and only one, then I'll create rows on a DataAnomaly Table. If I do match, then I have to check and make sure that there is only
    one and only one Member span for that match. Similarly handle the data anomaly and then check and make sure there is a "Diabetes" claim and similarly handle the DataAnomaly accordingly.
    That's where I'm at. Sooooo are you saying to use Rajen's suggestion? I don't think I can do that because I need multiple SQL tasks and I cannot connect multiple OLE DB Source tasks.
    Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Complants about TNT delievery company and Apple online store Hong Kong

    On 6 Aug I've ordered online a powder adapter and also a Mac software online. According to the TNT tracking system, items were collected on 9th and and was supposed to be send by 12th. But nothing has been deliveried on the 12th. I've given a company address for delievery and on Monday 16, I've noticed that TNT has been trying to deliver the items on Saturday. They have left a note. Since then, I've been trying to call them million times but like I've read about other complaints on the discussion, their lines are always busy, or no one would ever pickup. Of course I've also tried to call Apple online store and the same happened, first time I've waited 20 min and second time 30min and still can't talk to anyone to resolve the problem or try to arrange a redeliver. on 19 on the tracking system they said they tried to redeliver, but I've never recieve anything. TNT is a horrible company and I don't understand how Apple can use them!!! Now on the tracking system, seems like my items would be return to the sender. Can someone responisble from Apple explain this and resolve this situtation?? There is no e-mail that I can contact Apple online store as well, and I don't think anyone can stay on the phone all day waiting to talk to someone.... this has been the wrose online shopping experience for me!! Can some helpful user tell me what I can do?? Thank you

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I'm afraid there's nobody here that can assist you, these forums are users helping other users and Apple do not participate.
    Your best approach is to call your local Apple number ((852) 2112-0099) and then ask to speak with someone in Customer Relations then explain your situation to them and let them follow up for you.

  • Questions on Inter-company and Cross-company sales ordering process..

    Hi,
    I understood the delivery plant and the sales org. is not in the same company code might be the process, but i want to know some details especially in SAP system how it is realized and processed, hope could kindly help me on below questions!! thanks!!
    1)what is the difference between inter-company sales and Cross-company sales??
    2)What is the general document flow and config. when in below 2 cases:
    Suppose the 2 company code under same sap client system, then what kinds of company code,plant config within the system for inter-compan and cross-company, and finally what kind of document flow will it be in the system.
    Suppose the 2 company code is under diff sap system, then what kind of doc flow in each sap system for inter-company and cross-company sales process???
    Thank you very much!!!!

    Hi,
    Basically there are totally Three types of scenarios
    1. Intra Compnay Stock Transport Order
    In this type of scenario, the stock is transfered between Two Plants which are under the same Compnay Code. The document type used here is UB. Here in this scenario the owner ship on the stock is not changed thats way there will not be any Invoice. The process as follows
    a. Create Purchase Order with document type UB - ME21N
    b. Create Replenishment Delivery with Document type NL - VL10B
    c. Picking and PGI - VL02N
    Now stock will be shown in Transit, you can check this using T.Code MB5T.
    d. Do MIGO to receive the stock into ordering plant.
    2. Inter Compnay Stock Transport Order
    This is called as Cross Compnay STO. Here the stock is sent from one plant to another plant which are in two different Compnay codes. That means the Ownership on the stock is changed in this scenario, that way there will be Intercompnay Invoice IV is reaised. Here the stock is just moved to one plant to another plant but not to any customer.
    The Process is as follows
    a. Create a PO using type NB - ME21N
    b. Create a Cross Compnay Replenishment delivery using type NLCC - VL10B
    c. Picking and PGI in VL02N
    d. Inter Compnay Invoice IV is raised by Supplying Compnay code to the Ordering Compnay Code - VF01
        for this a customer created in Supplying Compnay who represents the Ordering Compnay and the invoice is raised against to that customer.
    e. MIGO to receive the stock in Ordering Plant
    f. MIRO to do invoice verification and do Vendor account update. This also can be done by EDI triggering, to update the Vendor Account. That means with this step, ordering compnay will update into its vendor account that he has to give certain amount to the compnay who supplied the stock.
    3. Inter Compnay Customer Sales
    This is similer to the 2 process, but here instead of sending to Plant we will send the stock directly to Customer of other compnay code.
    The process is as follows
    a. Customer raises  normal sales order in another compnay code of type OR - VA01
    b. But if the plant of that compnay does not have stock, then in the order the plant is changed to other compnay code plant.
    c. Delivery is created in supplying Compnay against this Order - VL01
    d. Picking and PGI is done - VL02N
    e. But the stock is sent direclty to customer from supplying plant.
    f. Ordering compnay will raise normal invoice F2 to the customer
    g. Supplying Compnay will raise Intercompnay invoice IV to the Ordering Compnay.
    But for all these process there are some configurations can be done, like
    the material should be extended to both the plants
    a customer is created in supplying plant who represents the ordering plant so that IV can be generated to that customer.
    Supplying Plants should be linked to ordering Sales Org and Distribution channel. etc.
    Hope this is clear.
    Thanks

  • Hi, I'm using a Mac Pro here. I am trying to connect it with my NAS hard drive. But i could not connect to it because i have an ethernet which connects to the intranet in my company and Air Port for the internet.

    Hi, I'm using a Mac Pro here. I am trying to connect it with my NAS hard drive. But i could not connect to it because i have an ethernet which connects to the intranet in my company and Air Port for the internet and it could not detect the the ip address after i input the correct address on "Connect to Server" window. Please help! Urgent! Thanks

    I did not say it is not possible.
    I said if your company networks are monopolizing both ports, you should talk to them about what options are available.
    Maybe you can get the company Intranet over wireless if you change some configuration items such as Subnet Mask.
    Maybe you can get on the Internet over Ethernet.
    You really need to ask them, and do not let them blow you off because you have a Mac. If they balk, ask them how it would be done on a PC (becasue it will be the same on a Mac).

  • Looking for an app that will manage all my business contacts (5,000 ) by company and then by name

    I'm looking for an app that will manage all my business contacts (5,000+). Want the app to categorize by company and then by name, kind of like an organization chart
    Ex.     Apple, Inc.
    -John
    -Sam
                                        -Nicole
    I just downloaded "FastContact" for free but its too slow while searching. After more research I saw "ABContacts" but don't want to pay $5 for something I may not be looking for.
    Any suggestions?

    The only thing available to you is the restrictiions section in settings.  Due to sandboxing, apps cannot interoperate with other apps except for sending data files from one app to another if allowed.  There is no app that will help you.

  • TS1702 Fitness HD for the iPad is no longer supported and it keeps saying that it needs to be updated in the badge on my app icon store. Apparently, it was bought by another company and now that company wants to charge me 2.99 to update my app. I

    About a year ago, I purchased FItness Hd for the iPad. Yesterday, it showed up in the app badge as needing to be updated. I clicked it and now it keeps telling me that this app is no longer available for purchase. When I look into the app store, the same app is now for sale 2.99 under a different company. I have tried to delete and reinstall the app thinking it will clear out the badge on the app icon stating that I have one update. This is frustrating. Somehow, this company was sold and my old app/software is causing a conflict with the App store. Help???

    Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, my query is not so much about the sale of the company and the dream. I agree with you on that point. Good for them. My frustration is that this old app has now caused a glitch in my Apple App Store icon. I have a red badge with one update and it is referring to the old app that has been sold that needs to be updated. When I try to update the app it says no longer available for purchase. So I have since deleted that app in hopes that it would resolve the red badge issue. It has not. Somehow, that old app and the new app with the same name but by a different company has caused the glitch. I have reset all settings on my iPad, I have rebooted, I have deleted the app and still the red badge with the one update for the old app is there. Hmmm. . . I guess I need to take this into the Genius bar or wait for ios 7 in hopes that it will fix the glitch. Thanks again for your help.

  • MDT 2013: Wizard Pages by Task Sequence

    Hi,
    I believe what I am trying to do is not possible from previous readings on this forum, BUT then I see something in my MDT 2013 OSD wizard that seems to indicate there might be a way to get it done. So here goes.
    For my own demos, I am trying to develop a deployment share that is much like Johan Arwidmark's hydration kit. Some machines, like a domain controller or a SQL cluster are all well-defined: computer names, IP addresses, etc. are fixed and can be set
    in customsettings.ini or in the Task Sequence with variables. However, I would also like the ability to have to deploy a "generic" machine where I can select roles, applications, etc.
    This would require having different wizard pages shown for different task sequences. From what I've read, this may not be possible without developing a custom wizard (and that might be too much effort). However, I currently have two task sequences and depending
    on which one I select, I see a different number of steps to complete? See screenshots. I don't know what I have currently configured that makes it like that.
     (when I select "Domain Controller 01" task sequence) (Task sequence ID "DC01")
     (when I select the "generic" task sequence)
    Below is my customsettings.ini [the only rules file I have].
    [Settings]
    Priority=TaskSequence,Default
    [Default]
    _SMSTSORGNAME=Demo Deployment
    OSInstall=Y
    SkipCapture=YES
    SkipAdminPassword=YES
    AdminPassword=P@ssw0rd!
    SkipProductKey=YES
    SkipComputerBackup=YES
    SkipBitLocker=YES
    EventService=http://192.168.232.1:9800
    SkipUserData=YES
    SkipTaskSequence=NO
    SkipTimeZone=YES
    SkipBitLocker=YES
    SkipSummary=YES
    SkipFinalSummary=NO
    FinishAction=SHUTDOWN
    SkipLocaleSelection=YES
    HideShell=YES
    [DC01]
    _SMSTSORGNAME=DC01 Deployment
    SkipComputerName=YES
    OSDComputerName=DC01
    SkipDomainMembership=YES
    JoinWorkgroup=DEMO
    SkipRoles=YES
    I would expect the settings for task sequence "DC01" to be applied after I select that task sequence in the wizard. That doesn't seem to work. The first task in the sequence is a "Gather" task that gathers local data and processes customsettings.ini.
    I understand I can't override most settings from [Default] because they would have already been processed but as you can see, that's not what I am actually trying.
    I am not opposed to having multiple rules files if that would work. However, it seems like that doesn't make much difference when it comes to actually seeing different wizard steps active. I've tried adding a second customsettings_dc01.ini file and having
    a Gather step that specifically references that file in the "Initialize" group.
    I've considered some alternatives to making it work this way, such as having multiple deployment shares and "linking" them (although I haven't done this before) so I wouldn't have to copy all the applications.
    I would also set the computer name and all in the task sequence using variables, but that still doesn't address the problem.
    Any insight is appreciated,
    SA.

    SpeedBird186 - There are several assumptions going on here.
    1. by default MDT processes the CS.ini file *before* the wizard, and *after* the Task sequence has started. If you want CS.ini file to be processed just *after* you select your TS in the wizard, use Johan's trick above.
    2. There are about 20 different wizard pages, and they don't appear in *all* scenarios. the wizard framework will attempt to do an intelligent job of filtering out pages that are not relevant to the scenario at hand. For example, in the graphic above, you
    can see that the OS roles and Features page will appear/disappear. This can happen for example if the task sequence you selected earlier does or does *not* have a "OS Roles and Featrues" step in the Task sequence.
    3. For me, the easiest way to process roles would be to create some new "Applications" and to put them in a folder.

  • MDT 2013 Windows 8.1 Task sequence Stops After first Reboot. login

    Hi There,
    The issue I am having is that After the OS gets laid down, and the Windows 8.1 computer reboots, The task sequence does not continue. It fails everytime. There are not any obvious errors that happen in the process that I can see in the logs. But I have
    customized this process quite a bit and I could use some help. We are deploying potentionally to over 30,000 computers.
    The test machine I have been using is the Surface pro 2.
    The interesting part is after a failure is if I start the process over again ,  boots into PE, then run diskpart manually from command prompt to Clean Disk 0, and then reboot and start the MDT task sequence, it will deploy fine.
    I also have a custom step that copies the TS media from the stick to a Recovery partition I create. The user can launch a -re-image or MDT refresh from an Icon/script, which will unhide this "recovery partition", and kick off a lite touch refresh.
    This works succesfully everytime. We have remote locations with very slow links, so MDT over the network or MDT integrated with SCCM is not an option at this time. So this is the solution.
    I am attempting to use MDT 2013 to deploy Windows 8.1 Offline, and using GPT partitions.
    I am using a custom Format and partiition Step, that call the CustomDiskpart.txt script from %deployroot%\Scripts.
    I am also using a Split image, as multi partitioned EFI/NTFS USB sticks are not a possibility for us , also, the USB sticks capable of this are seen by MDT as a "fixed drive" anyways. Which can cause issues in itself. So the LTIAPPLY.wsf has
    been edited to search and apply ther split .swm files.  This works well.
    After the Task sequence failure I have tried launching the Litetouch scripts from the C:\MINNINT folder manually to continue the sequence, but it doesnt  do anything.
    I don't want to always be running Diskpart manually before imaging a new OEM computer. I needa second pair of eyes on this.
    Thank You in advance!

    Hi,
    Thanks Again for taking a look.
    I checked the sysprep log in the image and they look fine. No errors.
    As requested here are some logs. Let me know if I can provide anything else.
    BDD.log
    litetouch.log
    SMSTS.log
    Im not actually attempting to provide a recovery image. What I am doing is leveraging MDT to refresh the computer remotely. We can update the MDT media on the hidden data partition,when required and kick it off remotely. Some of the computers are very
    remote, and without SCCM DP's, plus a combination of slow links and a lack of deskside techs made this a requirement. This works without incident.
    The only issue I have is on a new computer if I run the sequence (offline USB media) it will fail the first time, unless I run a diskpart clean in PE first.. Then it will succeed. Refreshing the computer is fine.

Maybe you are looking for
