Trouble Deploying Windows updates via SCCM 2012

Hello
I'm testing Windows updates via SCCM 2012 - I have successfully deployed updates to 4 test PC's.
I then added another 15 Test PC's into the same group - Not one of them receive updates (they're all within the same Domain and even in the same room)
I reviewed "UpdatesDeployment.log -
1. I highlighted some points that stood out to me
2. I have the Maintenance window set to 24hours for this test
From the Server side and Clients side - What are the best .logs to look at.

Hi,
You could also check Windowsupdate.log on the client.

Deploy Java Updates using SCCM 2012 SP1 and SCUP 2011

What is the best way to deploy Java updates using sccm 2012 SP1 and SCUP 2011?

I didn´t find Kent´s blog useful when talking about Java. I can deploy Adobe products fine, but I have to import Java manually because not having Shavlik certificate. So with that said, I have the fallowing problem;
I have full offline installer unpacked, .msi file and Data1.cab. When I´m importing these binaries to SCUP, I only can point to .msi. Doing that, installation fails in client side fails because of lack of data1.cab fine, which is the main file.
Should I use some other downloaded files of Java? I couldn´t find any Java-update-file only type of files to download.

Deploy Lync 2013 Via SCCM 2012

Dear,
I wants to deploy Microsoft Lync 2013 via SCCM 2012, I have created a new deployment package based on MSI file to install Microsoft Lync 2013 for company machines, during the installation package will install for clients computer perfectly but instead of
install automatically to users, every time message coming user should do it manually for example user should accept the terms of the agreement, kindly I need a way to solve this issue, I need Lync 2013 automatically install without users doing anything, please
see attached snapshot.

Make sure that you are using the right command line using your newly created MSP
ex: setup.exe /adminfile "Lync_Updated.msp"
As proposed, update your DP so that your MSP gets distributed.
You can also follow this guide if you're still experiencing difficulties.

Deploy a shortcut via SCCM 2012 R2

Hello, I have a package that installs a program in C: \ Application but it does not create an application shortcut on desktop.
Is there any of meteodo to deploy the shortcut via SCCM?
Atenciosamente Julio Araujo

You could enable verbose logging for the MSI installation.
Then install the MSI using the local system account with PSEXEC -i -s cmd.exe
http://richardbalsley.com/a-simple-tip-to-test-software-installation-using-the-local-system-account
Have a look at the log file and compare it to a log file installed with your own credentials.
msiexec /i "C:\MyPackage\Example.msi" /L*V "C:\log\example.log"

Manage SCCM 2012 clients in DMZ (OS Deploy, Windows updates) via DP/MP

Hi,
We ’d like to manage (=OS Deploy, Packages,Windows updates) Windows clients (Windows 2008/2012 R2 servers for now, about 20 of them) in a DMZ (= different domain).
There is this article
https://nikifoster.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/installing-configmgr-clients-on-servers-in-a-dmz/ which explains what to do … in 2011. Since then lots of things are changed I guess
Before I dive in, I’d need to have an overview + do some administrative tasks (like asking for firewall accesses).
Current setup DMZ:
Our SCCM 2012 R2 server is on a Windows 2008 R2 OS
Client communication is done via HTTP (not HTTPS)
An extra physical Distribution point is setup (only DP, nothing more) in our current domain
A new Windows 2012 server is setup in the DMZ which should host the DP and probably management point (since it should manage the clients over there)
There are clients in DMZ that are currenlty managed by SCCM 2007 but
this server will be phased out, these client have:
Correct sccm functionality
Correct DNS resolution
My steps/questions, please comment:
Add the DMZ ip range to SCCM 2012 boundary as “DMZ”
Add the network access account to be able to deploy as well clients as distribution point in DMZ
In the DMZ accesses on firewall for server VLAN have to be asked
When we have a distribution point and communication is “HTTP only” then http (port 80) from DMZ to sccm server should suffice, correct? Or are
extra firewall openings needed for management point access/packages and windows updates sync?
Now the sccm clients will be deployed to the servers in DMZ: deploy SCCM clients to hosts in DMZ, how this should be done: we connect a console to the SCCM-server in the DMZ then deploy the discovered clients?
OS Deploy should be made available, but no dhcp is available in DMZ and it is not an option either, therefore we would boot from an ISO then enter an ip (or pre-enter it so there is already filled in an ip?). So tasksequences/deployments
for servers in DMZ, where are they configured/deployed then? Via console access on DMZ management point or can we deploy on our domain SCCM management point (not in DMZ) and it will be synced to the DMZ management point? Not clear
Selective sync of software to this distribution point (howto? not sure), we don’t need any Windows 8 software/drivers to be synced.
Thanks for your input!

No comment;
I think you mean the client push installation account and the site system installation account;
More ports are required, see site server > distribution point and distribution point > management point from the provided link;
The console will always be connected to your primary site server. The client will be pushed from the primary site server and it will provide the initial files. The other files will be downloaded from the local distribution point;
The task sequence deployment will be just like a normal taks sequence deployment. The only difference is the location of the server;
Only the content that's distributed to the distribution point in the DMZ will be available on that distribution point.

Help understanding windows updates with SCCM 2012 R2

Hello all,
I am fairly new to SCCM in general and would like to know if I am doing things right with regard to Windows updates.
My setup:
I have one Windows 7 update group that has all updates as of about 3 weeks ago. That package is deployed to a win7 collection of machines.
I also have an ADR rule to create a new package containing new Windows 7 updates (within the past year) every month and deploy to the same collection. (I chose to create a new package due to the 1000 item limit in a package)
Will this setup work or am I doing something wrong here? I really want to know what best practices are related to configuring update packages/adr for windows updates.

MS SQL Server 2012 Updates via SCCM 2012 R2

I'm trying to determine if SCCM 2012 R2 can manage and deploy Hotfixes, Updates and Service packs for SQL Server 2012. Can someone please confirm that SCCM can manage this, how to download SQL Server Hotfixes, Updates and Service Packs into SCCM and where
I can find instructions on setting up my MS SQL Server computers to receive SQL updates from SCCM.
Thanks.

ConfigMgr absolutely can deploy updates and service packs for SQL. You just need to choose the versions you want in Software Update Point Products and Classifications. It's no different than deploying any other Microsoft updates.
http://www.gerryhampsoncm.blogspot.ie/2013/04/sccm-2012-sp1-step-by-step-guide-part.html
Is it a good idea? I don't think so. I think SQL updates should be part of a carefully planned (and tested) manual upgrade.

Some of the machines are not installing windows updates in SCCM 2012 SP1

I have deployed the current month patches to the machines. But, some of the machines are failed to install.
Most commonly I am getting the below errors in windowsupdate.log ,

Deploying Expired Update in SCCM 2012 R2

We need to deploy an update to Silverlight to allow one of our web based applications to run correctly. SCCM is currently configured to wait 3 months before expiring a superseded update. Microsoft released an update in Decembers patch release which expired
the update that could of been deployed by SCCM. This latest update was subsequently expired by Microsoft meaning I have no updates available to deploy to the clients. My questions are:
1. If I increase the time period of 3 months to wait before expiring a superseded update, will SCCM rescan all updates and then make expired updates available if they fall within this newly configured time period?
2. If I then revert the setting after deploying the update will it then rescan again and make expire updates again that are older than 3 months?

No. The update you speak of, to my knowledge, was not superseded, it was expired directly by Microsoft. As for updates it may in turn have superseded, no, they will remain expired as there is no unexpire process -- once expired, always expired to my knowledge.
Microsoft simply needs to issue an updated update (that of course is not expired).

Deploying ipa file via SCCM 2012 R2 / Intune

Hello Experts,
We recently set up a Windows Intune Subscription in our Configuration Manager 2012 R2 Environment. The MDM part (Configuration Items) and deploying app store deep links is working without any problems.
In our company we have a native iOS App which is currently distributed via a website. (Not App Store!). I tried to distribute the app via configuration manager 2012 r2 but the app doesn't show up in the company portal even after a day. I made the following
steps to distribute the app:
1. Received the ipa and plist File from the Developer.
2. Added the application to configuration manager 2012 r2
3. Deployed the application to my intune user collection (DP: manage.microsoft.com / Purpose: Available)
Did i miss any importent step? One thing i can say is that the app is not signed with our APN Certificate which is used in the Intune Subscription. According to our developer this should not be neccessary?!
Thanks for any advice.

I redeployed the app and the following entries were in the logs:

Ccmcache folder and windows update in sccm 2012

I was looking for a folder that have large size in my c drive .soddenly I've found ccmchache folder with 5GB .I change the cache size on clients nicely to 500 MB.
but after a week that sccm wanted to install update on clients I faced with too many updates about 50 Updates that should be installed .I let them install .after restarting windows I saw some of the Update hasn't be installed .
on the other hand some of updates that I had defined to be required to install and I expect them install automatically But some of them become an available update and waiting for user approve to install .
whats the solution .?please .

I am not getting what are you asking for. You said ,the ccmcache size changed from 5GB to 500MB ? do you think will that be enough to have content downloaded to ccmcache before they install ? why did you change the cache size to lower level ?
If the patches are not installed or failed to do,you can look at software update logs on the client like wuahander.log,updatestore.log,updatedeployment.log and windowsupdate.log for further troubleshooting.
Logs can only help you what went wrong during patch installation.

Trying to deploy a VB Script via sccm 2012 R2

Hello All
This is my first attempt at deploying a script via SCCM 2012 R2 and I seem to be stuck. Essentially what this script does is map a printer. The script on its own works fine. Meaning it works when I double click it and also running it from the command
line. Its when I try to use in sccm things go down hill. I have tried the following from the command line in the package properties.
\\my-sccm-server\Sources\Applications\VBSripts\cscript.exe Impact.vbs
\\my-sccm-server\Sources\Applications\VBSripts\Impact.vbs
Phil Balderos

looks good :)
You can check execmgr.log on the client to monitor the install as it is running.
Thank Richk,
Still no luck. Here is the output from execmgr.log. Its saying that is completed but nothing ever happens. I am about ready to throw in the towel on this one but I just feel like that is should work because its such a simple script.
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\srv-gtt-papercut\followme"
WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\srv-gtt-papercut\followme"
Phil Balderos
Is the script running as an Admin ,if so then you likely set the printer up for the local system user account and not anyone else.

Lync 2013 x64 silent client deployment via SCCM 2012 SP1

Greetings everyone!
I ran into a problem with Lync 2013 x64 silent deployment.
I need to provide every workstation with Lync 2013 client, so i decided to use deployment via SCCM 2012 sp1.
I created 2 msp files with OCT, one based on x86 Office 2013 Proplus, and other based on x64 Office 2013 Proplus.
Added them as applications to sccm software library.
Deployment of Lync 2013 x86 application was a success with over than 80% compliance.
But all Lync 2013 x64 automatic installations finish with different errors.
I created special device collection for workstations with office 2010 x64 and 2013 x64, because i can't install other architecture products once it has x64 product installed.
My membership query-rules for this collection:
Office 2013 x64
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90150000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
Office 2010 x64
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90140000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
My application deployment type points to setup.exe in office 2013 x64 installation folder, where i created msp file in updates folder via OCT and edited config.xml file in proplus.ww folder.
So my installation program looks like this setup.exe /adminfile updates\1lync.msp /config proplus.ww\config.xml
The same configuration works with Lync 2013 x86 deployment, except other setup folders.
When i try running installation program setup.exe with /adminfile and /config parameters locally, it installs successfully without errors or warnings.
I'm trying to find out problem source, does anyone have ideas what I am doing wrong?
Also i'm trying to reduce office 2013 installation folder size, what subfolders are necessary for Office 2013 proplus installation (still installing only lync with common files and tools)? Because now 3.5 GB package is quite hard to distribute to sccm secondary
sites with deployment point.
Thanks in advance.

System task 'policyevaluator_unlock ' returned error code 0x8000fff in windows pacth deployment on windows 7 by sccm 2012 Sp1

hi All,
I have faced mentioned error in Win7's ccmexec.log file doing windows pacth deployment on windows 7 by sccm 2012 Sp1
system task 'policyevaluator_unlock ' returned error code 0x8000fff
Kirpal Singh

Thanks for reporting this symptom. We investigated and found that this error occurs when user unlocks the workstation. Due to this error, ccmexec service doesn’t request for user required policies when user
unlocks the workstation. We will investigate and address this symptom. Other than user unlock, all other user policy scenarios will be functioning as expected. The client will process user policies when user logs on as well as in the regular user policy polling
schedule”.

Lync 2013 client deployment via SCCM 2012 forcing restart

All,
I am attempting to deploy the Lync 2013 x86 client via SCCM 2012 to 158 machines running the Office 2010 suite. My package runs, and the installs complete but they are forcing a restart after the install even though I have gone in to everything that I can
think of to tell the install not to force a restart. I am a newb in the ways of SCCM so I have been self teaching, and I may have missed something.
I have gone into the config.xml and changed the value SETUP_REBOOT to NEVER.
In the program properties I have RUN set as HIDDEN, and AFTER RUNNING set to NO ACTION REQUIRED.
Is there something that I am missing to stop the users machine from restarting after the install completes?

Great, unfortunately it will be because files (usually shared DLLs) are in use as Office is opened, despite it being an older version.
Agree it's not optimal, I usually just tell clients that they will need to reboot, or that it will push out overnight (when I schedule it) and their computer will restart, so make sure they save everything.
