Want to test OSD in Vmware Workstation SCCm 2012

Which Drivers needed and where to get VMware scsi controller drivers ,I got .flp file but don't know how to extract that
can any one provide link from where I can get Drivers needed for OSD in VMware workstation with SCCM 2012 for windows 7.

Narcoticoo is on the right track. VMWare have a process for this.

You could use HyperV or Oracle VirtualBox - absolutely no drivers required to develop your solution..

VMware has process of it's own, but my method works on every situation if you want to grab drivers from the installed OS.

  • Compliance evaluation cycle in not running as configured in SCCM 2012 R2

    Hi,
    We want to test compliance setting feature in SCCM 2012 R2. We have enable compliance setting in client setting with every 1 hour of evaluation cycle.
    We have configure compliance baseline to check registry key.
    Compliance baseline is configured to evaluate every 1 hour, but observed that clients are not evaluating as configured. Tried to running Machine policy evaluation cycle at client side but still not getting result.
    So please help to understand why not clients are evaluating compliance evaluation cycle every 1 hour or let me know how to force client to evaluate the compliance cycle.
    Also it observed that some clients are evaluating the compliance cycle but not as configured.

    As I mentioned above I have configure baseline to check registry key at client side, If it is 1 then show it as compliant.
    If you configured a simple schedule of every 1 hour, that means each client will run the baseline every hour but exactly
    when will be determined by each client individually so there will be no set time when they run. Can you please elaborate this?
    What will be the best compliance evaluation cycle we can set to give desired result?

  • Windows 8.1 Mobile Device Management and SCCM 2012 R2 - 'Turn on' option missing

    I am trying to test a virtual desktop with SCCM 2012 R2 integrated with Intune. There is no Configuration Manager client on the workstation, the Intune subscription is configured and enabled for Windows enrolment, AD is synchronizing with Intune, DNS has
    the enrolment record added and resolves, the user can logon to Intune from the client using Internet Explorer and the client has had the registry key added with the DiscoveryService  configured to manage.microsoft.com. The problem is that on
    the 8.1 workstation in Workplace Settings the only option is 'Join' and the 'Turn-on' option is missing. How do I get it to appear?

    Yes I am using an activated version of 8.1 Enterprise, it is in a workgroup and I am logged in as a member of the local Administrator's group but not Administrator. I even joined the domain again and then removed it. Still there is only the 'Join'
    option and no 'Turn on' option. This is driving me nuts.

  • Need to make collection Query statement by sccm 2012 sp1 for Count of Licenses by License Status

    I want to make collection Query statement by sccm 2012 sp1 for all windows activated and all non-activated windows.
    Ahmed Sherif

    Have a look at the Software Licensing Product attribute classes when creating a Query - remember to choose
    System Ressource when creating the Query. You would have to enable this class to be collected during Hardware Inventory. Go to
    Client Settings -> Hardware Inventory ->
    Set Classes -> Select Software Licensing Product.
    This Class is part of the Asset Intelligence classes so you could enable it from there as well.
    Another way to accomplish is to use Compliance Settings to get this information.
    Create a Configuration item that query the Win32_WindowsProductActivation WMI Class, if you are using XP and the
    SoftwareLicensingProduct class for later os´s
    Add this Configuration Item to a Baseline ad deploy it to your Collections as needed.
    When the Baseline has been evaluated you can use this information to create query
    Machines reported as compliant is actived and machines reported as Non-Compliant is not activated.
    You can read about the Win32_WindowsProductActivation WMI Class here:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394520(v=vs.85).aspx
    and the SoftwareLicensingProduct here:

  • 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.

  • SCCM 2012- Wake on LAN

    Has anyone tested Wake On LAN with SCCM 2012? I am getting error 0x80072741 in wolcmgr.log. Any help is much appreciated.
    Divya

    Hi, here is the snipped from the wolcmgr.log. Also another update, now during our testing we can see that if the machine is in Sleep mode, they wake up at the time specified. However they don't wake up when they are in Hibernate mode.
    Even though the machines are waking up, but we still get the same errors in WOLCMGR.LOG. Not sure if we can ignore them or if they are something to worry about.
    Any help will be highly appreciated!

  • Problem rebuilding VMWare Workstation 10.0.2 Modules

    Hi,
    today I updated my Kernel to 3.14.2-1 and wanted to rebuild the modules for VMware Workstation 10.0.2. Doing so causes the following error.
    I used this patch before http://pastie.org/pastes/9090538/.
    Has there been major changes between 3.14.1-1 and 3.14.2-1 which cause this problems? It worked before. Someone else experiences this?

  • VMware Workstation 5 & vmware-any-any added to AUR

    As it became clear from comments added to the vmware-workstation 6 package in aur i was not the only archuser that wanted to stay with workstation 5 (license isssues) i decided to make an aur package of it.
    I used the pkgbuilds for vmware-workstation by miklos, romashka & pizzapunk and adapted them.
    During testing the package i found i needed the vm-any-any updates to make it run with the latest kernel (as expected) , so i've made an aur package for that also.
    To avoid confusion with the vmware-workstation package i've named my package vmware-ws5 .

    I managed to get the problem fixed by switching to vmware server 1.0.4. The I mounted the "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Server\solaris.iso" CD-ROM. The CD-ROM contains one file, which I unzipped, and then extracted the single tar file. After reading the doc/INSTALL file I ran the setup script. I accepted all the defaults, and after the script completed things started working fine.

  • VCS ova import fails VMware workstation 8

    Hello all,
    I was recently surprised and excited by the release of the virtual VCS and set out installing!!
    Using VMware workstation 8 I imported the VCS ova file, VMware waits for a while then displays a massive agreement screen which cannot be moved to find the agree screen. The only option to remove this massive browser screen is to alt f4, this then ends the import and the VCS installation fails.
    Can anyone please advise if it is possible to run the VCS on workstation 8?
    (ESXI is not an option as I'm attempting to install on a desktop and esxi doesn't recognise IDE and sata as storage)
    I'm really wanting to get this working ASAP for my personal development and testing so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    For production its anyhow the only way to go.
    For labbing,  if you google a bit then you can find how to run esxi under vmware desktop or fusion.
    I would also not exclude that with some modding you could run the ova on other virtualization
    platforms than esxi, but thats anyhow not supported.

  • SCCM 2012 OSD Retain Computer Name on re-image rebuild

    I am migrating our PC workstation Windows 7 build process from MDT 2010 lite touch to SCCM 2012 zero touch. Everything is working expect
    one thing. 
    When I re image a PC, if the PC is already known to AD I want it to keep the previous machine name, so that it retains its collection memberships
    for software. If I put the PC into the collection that the OSD task sequence is advertised to, the machine successfully rebuilds with the same machine name. Starting from Windows - i.e the configuration manager client.
    If I initiate the rebuild via PXE boot the machine gets a new name. 
    I have read that if the OS is booted from PXE or boot media then the deployment type is new computer. But if the TS is advertised to an
    existing client and initiated from the config manager client, the deployment type is refresh. 
    I'm currently using itx-solutions.nl AutoNameControl to get RIS style naming i.e. PC-123, PC-124 etc.
    When I used MDT and lite touch I used MaikKoster Deployment Webservice and obtained the machine name via the GetComputerNameByNetbootGuid
    service. This worked perfectly. I don't know what exactly sets this in AD, but have noticed the PC's built with SCCM have no value for NetbootGuid so this doesn't work.
    How do I always get the PC to retain the same name on rebuild?

    Thank you are correct - It turns out it was the AutoNameControl. It creates a new name regardless.
    I set a TS variable called ExisitngClient as the first step of my TS - but put a condition on it, to check for the existence of CcmExec.exe on the client. If it exists then I set the variable to TRUE.
    Then later on when the AutoNameControl runs, I put a condition of    IF ExistingCient not equals TRUE.
    Meaning it only runs if it didn't have Config Manager on before the format.
    It seems to work.
    Thanks for the help

  • SCCM 2012 - Windows 7 OSD wrong driver letter?

    Hi,
    I am having issues with SCCM 2012 OSD / MSD 2012 and deploying Windows 7
    I am using a captured WIM and I have noticed that on a machine it deploys
    to the E: drive even if I have not data on the hard disk (I have cleaned it
    with diskpart). So when the task Sequence is finished it the Windows
    directory is E:\Windows which is not what I want.
    Now what I thought I would try is moving the CD-ROM drive to a different
    SATA controller from AHCI port 2 to AHCI Port 3.
    Now this made the OS deploy correctly to C: with the final state being C:\Windows
    1. So my questions are "How" does SCCM determine what the final logical drive that
    windows will be put on?
    2. Is there a way I can force it to be C: drive no matter what port my CD-ROM is on?
    3. Also if I am using UEFI and Bitlocker is the logic the same?
    4. I have noticed when I run diskpart and do list volumes the CD-ROM drive appears?
       in the list is this normal?
    It seems very bizzare the way it works.
    Thanks,
    Ward.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response actually we are already doing that. :)
    Sorry I will re-correct my original post something I did not point out - opps - is we are trying to build these by USB.
    It seems that if there is a clean partition and the system boots and happens to choose allocate either the USB key or DVD rom to C: drive then the OS will install on the wrong drive.
    So my idea of moving it to another controller seems to make it better but not consistently reliable.
    It seems to work if the following conditions are true - need to do a more testing to confirm:
    The DVD rom shows up and USB not using the C: so it seems the it will work.
    If there is already a partition on the drive called C: and it is already allocated then all seems ok as well
    So can I get some more clarity on this - I would like to be able to control it better :)
    Thanks,
    Ward

  • VMWare Workstation 8 did not see any USB devices, only BT dongle

    No errors reported, just no devices available. With 7.1.4 there was no problems, Virtualbox works well too.
    Is it my installation's personal bug or known issue?
    System is Arch x86_64 on Asus Rampage II motherboard (Intel X58/ICH10R).

    Copy it to your system and test, probably will solve your problem.

  • Not able to install server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .

    Dear Team,
    Thanks in advance. 
    I am facing an issue when installing server 2012 R2 on a VMware Workstation 10 .
    This is the error message i get ''windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.'' 
    i have tried changing the initial install option of OS  to ''other''. But still its the same.
    Finally i have installed it without adding the OS disk in the initial setup. But the problem here is that its asking me activation key. 
    if you have the activation key for 180 days please let me know.

    I have the same problem here.
    With VMWare Workstation 10, downloading and using the Windows 2012 R2 ISO evaluation to test.
    Shortly after booting up with the ISO, it complains about this message:  ''windows cannot find the microsoft software
    license terms. make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.''
    BUT, if you uninstall VMWare Workstation 10 and install VMWare Workstation 9, no problem.
    Something wrong with either VMWare Workstation 10 or Windows 2012 R2.
