Understanding background work for software distribution in SCCM 2012

Hi Team,
1.I want to know site to site communication for SCCM 2012.. and
2. want to know about package transfer to secondary site or content share background process.
3. In many of the content share server 200 package out of this 90 still showing inprogress.. I checked distribution point but no error.. I checked conponent status " saying xxx001 package processed.
Can some one answer this three question?

Hi,
Configuration Manager uses file-based replication to transfer packages between sites in your hierarchy.
Reference:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712701.aspx#BKMK_File_based
The blog below is talking about the Site to Site Communication in SCCM 2007, but it can help you understand the process of packages transfer to secondary site.

You could check Distmgr.log and sender.log to get more information. It should take some time in order to transfer so many packages.
Best Regards,
Joyce

Guys We are working for a mining company SCCm 2012 implementation need design idea

we have globally 40,000 users but dont have more then 600users in same place but in same region we have
A) London-12000 in one country
B) paris-5000 in one country
C) china-3000 in one country and
D)India-2000
E)Maxico-5000
F)3000-Norway
G)10000 -USA
but in all these regions these all users divided in multiple locations we dont have more then 600 in same building dont know how to design the hierarchy we have good connectivity all over the palces but someplaces we have WAN connectivity.
Guys these all are in Multiple forest and multi domain environment.

Unlike Torsten I generally will give some suggestions on design questions in the forums.
I usually do - *if* it can be answered here in the forums. I just don't recommend anything that's based on speculations ;-)

Client not receiving the software update FROM SCCM 2012 R2

We have SCCM 2012 R2 installed and configured for SUP.and i have synchonice the SUP with WSUS server in the same which is there in the same machine.
Now i can able to deploy the software update from SCCM 2012 R2 without any erro to the windows 7clients, but client side when i check there is no update installed in the clients , but seems there is no error in the client logs

Hi,
I'd start with running a "Software Updates Scan Cycle" from the configuration manager control panel applet and check the log file Windowsupdate.log, WUAhandler.log.

Hi Friends,
we are deploying the SP1 via SCCM 2012 , and the success rate is around 50 %, its a Light touch installation where user will initiate the installation via Software Center ( Web based )
i was able to gather few errors , and this are the errors which failed during SP1 Installation 0x800f0828,
some errors which sccm reports display are
11171
10008
10021-
17031 -
1602 - User Cancelled installation
113 - No more internal file identifiers available
10070 - File handle reference is no longer available
10050 - A socket operation encountered a dead network
11170 - The task sequence manager could not successfully complete execution of the task sequence
i could not find the reason for some of the errors, also i am looking for a fix/woraround if any
Also i have noticed that in few computers the task seq failed at a place where after the sp1 installation a reboot happens and then PGP BYPASS utility is uninstalled, it did not start the PGP bypass uninstall after reboot
is there a way to cut short the Task seq and keep it simple ?
right now its like this
1. checking for prerequisite : checks for OS Name and OS version
2. installs PGP Bootgaurd Bypass
3. System Restart
4. Installing Windows 7 Service Pack 1
5. Final Restart
6. uninstall PGP Bootgaurd Bypass

How would I rollback or remove a problematic software update using SCCM 2012?

How would I rollback or remove a problematic software update using SCCM 2012?
Primarily I'm thinking these patches would be Windows Vista/7/8 OS patches, but would include other Microsoft updates as well (eg. Office, etc.).
Thanks,
Bill

Hi,
You need to uninstall it using software distribution like a package/program, here is a script that can help you with the uninstallation.

Is MDT must have for OS deployment in SCCM 2012

I know that existing MDT could be integrated to a new SCCM.
Is MDT must have for OS deployment in SCCM 2012 or SCCM has its own engine for OS deployment?
--- When you hit a wrong note its the next note that makes it good or bad. --- Miles Davis

Thanks for the answers.
one more question...
I am going to start SCCM deployment in test environment.
For OS deployment part:
if MDT is planned for integration with SCCM should I configure OS deployment in SCCM before adding MDT.
Or in this scenario OS deployment in SCCM could not be touched.
After all previous answers I understand that OS deployment module is part of SCCM installation and is independent from MDT.

How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server

How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server
Thanks in Advance
NTRao

Hi,
There are numerous ways to change the cache size.
You could deploy a vbscript to a collection of the devices.
On Error Resume Next
Dim UIResManager
Dim Cache
Dim CacheSize
CacheSize=20000
Set UIResManager = createobject("UIResource.UIResourceMgr")
Set Cache=UIResManager.GetCacheInfo()
Cache.TotalSize=CacheSize
Or you could use a configuration item.
http://blog.coretech.dk/heh/configuration-items-and-baselines-using-scripts-powershell-example/
You can also use the right click tools by Now Micro on a collection, if all the servers are on this would be the easiest / quickest way.

UDI Wizard or MDT Database for software distribution during (post) OSD

I am in the process of standing up our System Center 2012 R2 environment. We will be migrating our SCCM 2007 over to 2012 R2. WE currently have MDT installed but have never set up the database. I was wondering if this would be a good time
to set up the DB and use it to create user and machine profiles for software installed as part of the imaging process, or continue to use UDI for that.
Any and all comments are welcome. Thanks.

Hi,
If you want to perform mass deployments like this and customize what drivers, features or applications are installed according to the computer's hardware, location or role, you can accomplish this with MDT by using the MDT database. The MDT database is basically
a Microsoft SQL Server-based version of the CustomSettings.ini file that can be used as a central repository for storing the configuration settings used to deploy multiple computers using MDT. Without the MDT database, you would need to create a separate CustomSettings.ini
file for each computer.

Sales BOM is not working for one Distribution Channel

HI Gurus
In VA01, Line item, for material A Sales BOM is working ( Bom exploded ) for one distribution channel but not for other distribution channel.
Material A is defined already for other distribution channel ( for which sales bom).
Sales BOM ( CS01) is also define.

this is solved by myself. Component ( child ) material was not defined for that Distribution channel.

Handling of pending reboot, exclusive updates for patch management with SCCM 2012

Hello,
Planning to use SCCM 2012, I would like to understand how smart is SCCM 2012 when dealing with specific patch management situation.
Assuming I have the following:
- A given server to be patched is missing a lot of updates, several being mutually exclusive. This typical case will require several reboot / patching to properly obtain a server fully up to date.
- A given server to be patched is in pending reboot state because the local admin installed new software and has not restarted the server yet as requested
- Those servers have configured maintenance windows of 2 hours during each night. I scheduled a deployment of missing patches authorizing restart.
--> when the maintenance window will be reached:
- will the server first be restarted to clean the pending reboot ?
- will the the server be patched / restarted several times as required to fully meet the updates to be deployed.
Another scenario on workstation side:
- can I enforce deployment of updates at a given time, do not automatically restart the workstation during patch deployment, but after deployment schedule a mandatory restart with a countdown if there is a pending reboot... From end-user perspective, it
would have the following behavior. For instance:
- patches are automatically installed on Monday at 10 AM
- as soon as deployment is done, warning message is displayed to ask users to reboot
- then user has up to 48h to restart his computer by himself. If he does not do it, it will be automatically done after countdown expires.
--> Can such a scenario be managed by SCCM 2012 ?
Regards.

Hi,
I have a related question about deploying Microsoft Security Updates to workstations via SCCM 2012. Is there a way to deploy the MS updates to workstations and only suppress reboots for machines with users logged on or locked? There seems to
be only 2 different options for reboots, Suppress them all or don't suppress them at all. We would like SCCM to reboot the machines that are logged off, but suppress the reboot for those that are logged on, while at the same time, provide the user with
a notification that their machine needs to be rebooted (at their convenience).
We've tried applying the Domain GPO "No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations" (Enabled) and "Configure Automatic Updates" (Disabled), but the logged on/locked machines still receive the restart countdown with no
option to postpone or delay.
This is a show stopper for us since we have an environment where we are absolutely not allowed to reboot a logged on machine.
For a little background, we are coming from SMS 2003 and the Distribute Software Updates (ITMU) way of deploying MS Updates, where we could always set the program to run "Only when no user is logged on".
Please tell me there is a way to achieve our desired result.
Thanks,
Dan

Cannot publish Flash Updates Verification of file signature failed for file SCUP 2011, SCCM 2012 R2 and WSUS all on same Windows Server 2012 machine

I am attempting to distribute Adobe Flash updates using SCUP 2011, SCCM 2012 R2, WSUS ver4 and Windows Server 2012. Everything installs without error. I have acquired a certificate for SCUP signing from the internal Enterprise CA. I have
verified the signing certificate has a 1024 bit key. I have imported the certificate into the server's Trusted Publishers and Trusted Root CA stores for the computer. When I attempt to publish a Flash update with Full content I receive the following
error:
2015-02-13 23:00:48.724 UTC Error Scup2011.21 Publisher.PublishPackage PublishPackage(): Operation Failed with Error: Verification of file signature failed for file:
\\SCCM\UpdateServicesPackages\a2aa8ca4-3b96-4ad2-a508-67a6acbd78a4\3f82680a-9028-4048-ba53-85a4b4acfa12_1.cab
I have redone the certificates three times with no luck. I can import metadata, but any attempt to download content results in the verification error.
TIA

Hi Joyce,
This is embarrassing, I used that very post as my guide when deploying my certificate templates, but failed to change the bit length to 2048. Thank you for being my second set of eyes.
I changed my certificate key bit length to 2048, deleted the old cert from all certificate stores, acquired the a new signing cert, verified the key length was 2048, exported the new cert to pfx and cer files, imported into my Trusted publishers
and Trusted Root Authorities stores, reconfigured SCUP to use the new pfx file, rebooted the server and attempted to re-publish the updates with the following results:
2015-02-16 13:35:44.006 UTC Error Scup2011.4 Publisher.PublishPackage PublishPackage(): Operation Failed with Error: Verification of file signature failed for file:
\\SCCM\UpdateServicesPackages\a2aa8ca4-3b96-4ad2-a508-67a6acbd78a4\3f82680a-9028-4048-ba53-85a4b4acfa12_1.cab.
Is there a chance this content was already created and signed with the old cert, so installing the new cert has no effect? In ConfigMgr software updates I see 4 Flash updates, all marked Metadata Only (because they were originally published as "Automatic."
No Flash updates in the ConfigMgr console are marked as downloaded. I can't find any documentation on how the process of using SCUP for downloading content for an update marked Metadata Only actually works.
Comments and suggestions welcome.

Script For Deleting Computers in SCCM 2012

Dears,
I need script to remove all the remain computers in SCCM 2012, sometimes we are going to delete some computers in active directory but the computers still remain in SCCM 2012, so I need script or query to find all the computers which removed from active
directory but still remain in SCCM 2012, because I don't want to go remove them manually one by one.'
Thanks..

Thanks for article but below are not clear for me. I know only meaning of site code which I replaced with the script but is not working. My site code is "S01"
1- why there is two site codes?
2- Why there is two local domain names?
3- What dose mean by installdrive and why we have two?
# $sitecode = "<sitecode>:"
# $sitecode = "PS1:"
# $installdrive = "<ConfigMgr Admin Console installation>"
# $installdrive = "C:"
# $loglocation = "<loglocation>"
# $loglocation = "D:\Logfiles\"
# $localdomain = "<domainname>"
# $localdomain = "ConfigMgrLab"
# $maxdevices = <maximum number of devices in your ConfigMgr environment>
# $maxdevices = 2000

Are there any command line utilities(@client machine)/APIs to initate software installtion from SCCM 2012 application catalog?

I'm searching for any utilities / APIs available for SCCM 2012 Application catalog, to initiate a Application installation from a Script(From client machine). Got to know there Client programming is possible, but not able to get good examples. Please help

What are the Query criterion property attributes to search for KB's in SCCM 2012

A client is ask what servers might have a particular hotfix(ex: KB2798040) installed. The Hotifx is not in our WSUS catalog because it is not a critical security patch so it is not downloaded. What is the SCCM 2012 R2 Query criterion property attributes
to find a particular KB?

Depending on the OS of the client, that information may not be collected by default.
Rather than collecting all of the HotfixID class, instead, consider using DCM for this single HotfixID.
Sherry has previously posted about ways to do this,
http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/skissinger/archive/2011/08/17/non-security-hotfix-detection-for-windows-7-2008.aspx
and here's a post by Nick which seems to be based on the very same approach:
