What client settings for BIOS or MEBx do I need preconfigure for Out Of Band Management in SCCM 2012?

Hi,
On the Client:
What BIOS or MEBx setting do I need preconfigure for Out Of Band Management in SCCM 2012?
Or can I remotly configure BIOS or MEBx settings from SCCM 2012 or Intel SCS?
/SaiTech

Thanks,
Now I see, with Intel SCS add-on for SCCM 2012 it will be the most simple solution. Even better than to have Intel scs standalone, that was an complex setup on dhcp and so on...
Just one thing more, When you configure AD for AMT you have to set a OU. but if you have computers in two ou, I cant see how I can configure that?

Question about creating Certificates for Out of Band management

I would like to use out of band management for supporting clients in remote offices. I am following the instructions at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/230dfec0-bddb-4429-a5db-30020e881f1e#BKMK_AMT2008_cm2012 in the "Deploying Certificates
for AMT" section. It says:
If you cannot complete steps 18 or 19, check that you are using the Enterprise Edition of Windows Server 2008. Although you can configure templates with Windows Server Standard Edition and Certificate Services, you cannot deploy certificates using modified
certificate templates unless you are using the Enterprise Edition of Windows Server 2008.
My Certificate Authority server is Server 2008R2 Standard. When I right click on Certificate Templates -> New -> Certificate Template to Issue, I do not see the ConfigMgr AMT Provisioning and ConfigMgr AMT Web Server Certificates. I know
the box says 2008 Standard isn't supported, but I am using 2008R2 Standard, not 2008. Why am I not able to see either certificate. If it is because I am using the Standard Edition, than how can I create the certificates needed? Upgrading
to Enterprise is not an available solution (cost reasons). Does this mean that OOB management certificate creation is not supported on Server 2008R2 Standard, and so I will not be able to use ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 for out of band management because I am
unable to generate the required certificates?

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
In order to use the cert template, you must use an Enterprise version of Windows. Only the Enterprise (or datacenter) version have the right version of the Certificate server.

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

What QT7 settings do I use to export a 1080p video for playback on iPhone4? I'm using the iPhone to playback 1080p video on 1080p monitor. Is this possible?

Does anyone know what settings I should use to export a 1080p video for playback on iPhone4? I'm hoping to use the iPhone4 to playback 1080p video on 1080p monitor. Is this possible?
I have previously saved my .mov file as Apple TV, but the quality is reduced from 1920x1080 to 960x540. I was unable to sync the higher quality file to my phone (and am worried this is the limitation of the hardware). I added this file to iTunes, added to a playlist, and sync'd to my iPhone. The playback works but the resolution is obviously a lower quality.Is it possible to keep the higher quality for playback through a 1920x1080 hd monitor? Otherwise, would I be able to sync a 1920x1080 mov file to a new iPad or other device? Thanks in advance to your answers.

No. Only the iPhone 4S, iPad3, and TV3 currently support 1080p30 content. Even then the 1080p30 playback support for your monitor may depend on how the device is connected. The iPhone 4 is limited to 720p30 playback.
Is it possible to keep the higher quality for playback through a 1920x1080 hd monitor? Otherwise, would I be able to sync a 1920x1080 mov file to a new iPad or other device?
Not on your current device. As previously stated, the latest generation of iPhone, iPad, and TV devices support a maximum 1080p30 playback capability but may be limited to lower resdolutions depending on your method of connection to your monitor. This information can be found on the Apple web site TechSpecs page for each respective device.

Client manageability in SCCM 2012

Hi All
I am Planning to have test SCCM 2012 environment and for that i need few architecture suggestions. Kindly suggest me on the same so that i can implement an effective infrastructure design.
Total Number of Clients to Support - 58000
First Draft version of design consist of 1 Primary Site and 3 Seconadry Sites. Kindly confirm if 1 primary and 3 secondary site will be able to cater 58000 clients. As per my understanding secondary site supports 5000 clients and Primary sites can support
25000 Clients.
Also confirm that clients under secondary site will be considered as client of primary site (linit of 25000) or seperately counted (25k +5K).

How to convert Unmanaged SCEP clients to Managed in SCCM 2012 SP1

We recently started installing SCEP clients from the .exe and a preconfigured .xml file to client machines in a domain setting. This was done from a USB drive, going from machine to machine, with a .bat file.
This was a stop-gap until we were able to install and configure SCCM 2012 SP1.
PCs that already had the SCEP client (prior to SCCM coming into production) are showing up as unmanaged. PCs that have had SCCM install SCEP all are listed as managed.
I've searched, but have yet to find a definitive answer as to how get the manually installed SCEP clients to register as managed in SCCM.
AD Domain with WIN 2008 R2 DC, SQL 2012 Standard, SCCM 2012 SP1

Also, make sure the Endpoint Protection Point is installed properly on SCCM and the Client Setting for SCEP is enabled.

Remote out-of-band management for my me3400

Dear all , I need to solve a little anoying situation at work.
My me3400 that work as a big layer2 traffic conentrator for 5 500mbps radio links and is located very far from the head-end office.
Every time I need to make a change on the configuration I have to use telnet access through the same main traffic link ,(in-band-management).
It is really frustrating when you apply a wrong line and your management session goes down .... In my case I need to take the car and drive many kilometers to the site , connect to console port and rollback.
So ...Im thinking , one solution could be some kind of protocol converter ethernet-serial , so I can leave the device near my me3400 and connected to a different link of course.
I saw this :
http://www.perle.com/products/techspecs/IOLAN-SCS-diagrams.shtml
IOLAN solution seems to be good, is there any other way to achieve this ? Other idea ?
THX,
Leo.

Leo, ethernet-serial is a great solution and there are various ways of accessing your me3400 out-of-band.
As a Cisco dev partner, we(WTI) make a variety of OOB console servers with either dual ethernet(using maintenance or production network), built-in dial-up modem or 3g modem support that give you telnet, ssh or web access. There's no need to drive to the site as you will have multiple ways to access the console port even when production network is down.
Ethernet-Serial:
https://marketplace.cisco.com/catalog/products/1401
In some cases the rollback will also require a hard power reboot, which can be done with a console server + power reboot combo.

Hope that helps!

I purchased elements for windows by mistake and I need it for mac! What do I do?

I need the Mac version however I purchased the download windows version.

russellj
From whom did you purchased Premiere Elements? Can we presume that you are referring to Premiere Elements 13, the latest version?
If you purchased from Adobe, Adobe needs to sort out the details of your purchase. This is not Adobe, rather user to user.
I suggest that you make contact with Adobe Chat Orders. Please click on the following link
Contact Customer Care
Premiere Elements
Membership, Account, Payment

Chat Panel
If the link does not hold its set, then you will need to navigate to the Chat Panel using the above titles as guides.
There is also an Adobe document on the matter which you might want to check out also.

Hi, is this the right product for enabling flash contents? I need support for my Harvard e-learnings pls. After downloading Presenter, I get an error message 'Not a valid presenter' when I add the Harvard url. Need help.

Hi
Is there anothe product for enabling flash content.

Pallavi,
Adobe Presenter is a plug-in application to MS PowerPoint that allows you to add video, audio, Flash and quiz content in to a presentation and then author it out as a Flash based presentation that can the be delivered to others via the web. You are asking about enabling Flash content. In what browser/application are you needing to enable Flash Content?
The 'Not a valid presenter' message is most likely due to you not have the rights to author content to Harvard's e-learning system, but without knowing if the URL is for a Connect account or some other e-learning platform, it's hard to give any useful insight.

HT4009 How long does it take for apple to return with the needed code for in app purchases. We have a developer working through elance that states he submitted a finalized version last friday to apple and is still waiting to get the code back from Apple?

We are being told by our elance developer that he is just waiting on apple to return the code for in app purchases with our app. he says he had to submit a complete version before they would give it to him and that he did that last friday. Needless to say i don;t beleive him. Can anyone validate for me the process of getting the code installed into our app and how long it should really take.

I'd say an average of one week, depending on backlog. Expect two if you are outside the US.
The outage has caused some lingering effects that seem to be delaying things for some, however.
Patience is key in all things when it comes to being a developer

HP Software for the HP Pavillion dv6-6117dx (Need to recover system without Recovery Manager

So I installed Windows 8 but was forced to delete all partitions, then I installed Linux Mint 14 Nadia, now I'm back to Windows 8 and I want to get Windows 7 Home Premium back or Windows 7 Professional (Microsoft Downgrade Rights)
And I cannot download the software HP provides when you first setup the computer, but now I do not have HP Recovery Manager or Support Assistant so I need that to reinstall all the programs and get back to Windows 7 Home Premium. But I do not want to spend any money on it like spending $15 on 2 stupid recovery discs, what a rip off! Ok can someone help ASAP also Im on Windows 8 Professional
This question was solved.
View Solution.

If you did not burn your Recovery Disks using HP Recovery Manager before deleting all partitions there is no way to download the files now. Ordering Recovery Disks is best option.
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft Windows 7 license key attached to bottom of laptop , you can download a Windows 7 ISO file to burn to a DVD.It must be the same version that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker. Windows 7 Home Premium
Link to the Windows 7 ISO file downloads:
http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-from-digital-river/
Get ImgBurn to burn the iso image to DVD using slow burn speed.
Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to convert the ISO file to a Windows installation on DVD or USB flash drive.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
Next go to your support and driver page to install the drivers you need.

Client Settings Sharing the Same Priority

I have a dozen Client Settings and noticed that two of my Client Settings share the same priority (Priority 5) and one of them skips two priorities (10 & 11), see screenshot. Increasing or decreasing the priority
on these dose not seem to reset the priority number, i.e. if I decrease #9 it moves to #12 and #12 to #9 and the same if I increase #12. I was hoping increaseing #12 would reset it to #11 but that's not the case. The same goes for the two #5's,
they stay no mater what I do.
Anyone seen this? Any thoughts? I do not know if it is effecting anything and the 9/12 ones don't consern me as much as the two 5's do. I'm not sure which #5 has more priority then the other.

Hi,
I recommend you delete the Client Settings then recreate them.
Below is a workaround for your reference. You’d better call CSS first, as this workaround is not a supported configuration and not eligible for official support.
Connected to Database CM_XXX.
Run the following query :
select * from dbo.clientsettings
Take the Client agent setting's uniqueid
Run the following query :
Update dbo.ClientSettings set Priority=5
where UniqueID='{A38602E1-AEC1-43F9-B3E1-CF2155099D2E}'
Check the priority on the console now.

Support for Internet based client Management - SCCM 2012

Hi There,
My Company wants to go for Internet based client Management in SCCM 2012 SP1 R2 and here is the design I'm proposing. I'm getting a bit confused at one point and need suggestion....
Everything would work on HTTPS ( PKI Certificate based )... LAN and Internet.
1 Primary ( with non-client facing roles installed ) on LAN with two site systems.
- One Site System configured for INTRANET support only with MP, DP and SUP -> To support LAN users ( Allow
Intranet-only connections )
- One Site System configured for INTERNET support only with MP, DP and SUP -> To support Internet users ( Allow
Internet-only connections )
The INTERNET facing site system is in DMZ network connected to parent Primary via Firewall.
We want internet clients to talk to ONLY DMZ SCCM Site System and no connection to corporate LAN. We cannot open any ports for internet based clients to LAN.
If this is the supported scenario, then why we need to put the Internet FQDN in the Primary server Site System property. This server would not be available to internet. It should only be my DMZ SCCM server client should connect for MP, DP and SUP and only
this DMZ server should be accessible to client over internet.
Also, what least ports should be opened between :
- Parent Primary and its internet facing site system kept in DMZ
- DMZ Site system and internet clients.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Sam

The FQDN has only to be specified on the Internet facing site system. You can leave this field blank on the primary site Server.
Ports to Open:
Internet --> DMZ Site Server:
TCP Port 443
TCP Port 80, if Fallback Status Point is installed
DMZ Site Server --> Primary Site:
TCP 135, 49152-65535
TCP 445
TCP 135, 24158 (fixed with
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb219447(v=vs.85).aspx )
TCP 80, 443
If you have some other roles installed, please consult this page:

"package" ARD and VNC client settings?

Hi-
I work in a school, and manage @ 1,100 student iBooks. I'm trying to figure out how to create a package that performs the same functions as the "Change Client Settings" feature under the "Manage" Menu. We use external HD's to reimage the computers, and add packages to this HD that are installed post flight. Right now I have to do the reimaging, then use the "Change Client Settings Feature" seperately, then finally run a package that pushes out the VNC password, (com.apple.VNCSettings.txt) that is in the /Library/Preferences folder.
We set up the computers so VNC is enabled, and the teacher account on the machine can use ARD.
Any thoughts, ideas, or it can't be done's would be great.
Thanks!
Jim
Mostly iBook G4's and G'3's Mac OS X (10.4.7) I use a MacMini w/ ARD 3.1 Admin

I have found that reverse DNS entries, especially when they are wrong, can really mess things up. If you haven't already, in your ARD scanner windows, right-click and add the "DNS Name" column, and adjust the columns so you can see it. Whenever you have problems connecting in ARD, that's always a quick thing you can check. If the DNS name does not match your computer name, you'll have problems.
I don't think you gave enough detail of what is and isn't working, but in general, you can try connecting both with dns names and IP addresses, and connecting to Macs sometimes works better by putting their name as macname.local instead of macname.yourdomain.com.
If you try to connect with VNC via IP address, and the IP addresses on your servers are static (should be), and it doesn't work, it very likely could be a firewall setting. Even if you have the firewall off or ports open, you'll want to run a port scan against the server in question to test what truly is open.
This is all general stuff. Post something more specific if none of this helps (detail of OS versions, programs used, ports set open, any error messages, etc).
Good luck
