Windows 8.1 Custom Tiles - Deploying SCCM 2012 R2

Confused.
In Hyper V, I created a Windows 8.1 Enterprise image while in sysprep audit mode.
I configured the tiles exactly how I wanted them.
Captured the image and deployed.  When I login, the tiles are all set to default.
Found a Microsoft site that said I could copy the AppsFolderLayout.bin file from the default image and then copy it to the default directory.   Tried that manually and through a task sequence and it still shows the default screen.
I tried exporting the bin file through powershell and then importing through SCCM task sequence and same thing.

What is the best way to accomplish this?
Thanks
Rick

Make sure you follow the steps exactly.

When the AppsFolderLayout.bin is copied to default profile, it will be copied to any new user profiles upon initializing first user logon. You could also manually copy the file to a user's profile to verify AppsFolderLayout.bin layout file.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Can I use SCCM 2007 to deploy SCCM 2012 Agent

    I was reading the scenarios for deploying the SCCM 2012 agent here
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682132.aspx
    I have been planning to deploy the 2012 agent using an SCCM 2007 deployment package. I am not migrating any data/packages/collections/anything from SCCM 2007. 
    I am looking for a sane way to deploy 2000ish clients a day for 2 weeks and be done. 
    I figure they are all SCCM 2007 clients so lets deploy 2012 agent using SCCM 2007.
    I read the following in the link above and it sounds like the way I want to go – use SCCM 2007 software distribution…
    Upgrade installation by using application management
    Upgrades clients to a newer version by using Configuration   Manager application management. You can also use Configuration Manager 2007 software  
    distribution to upgrade clients to System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.
    Then later in the same document there is this…
    How to Upgrade Configuration Manager Clients by Using a Package and Program
    You can use Configuration Manager to create and deploy a package and program that upgrades the client software for selected computers in your hierarchy. A package definition file
    is supplied with Configuration Manager that populates the package properties with typically used values. You can customize the behavior of the client installation by specifying additional command line properties.
    You cannot upgrade Configuration Manager 2007 clients to System Center 2012 Configuration Manager by using this method.
    In this scenario, use automatic client upgrade, which automatically creates and deploys a package that contains the latest version of the client.
    What???!??  There is no Automatic client upgrade feature in 2007 – so how does that even make sense?  In one section, it says I can deploy the 2012 Agent using SCCM 2007 software distribution, and then later in the same document, it
    says I can't.  I am probably misunderstanding somthing.
    Is it possible to make a package/program in SCCM 2007 that will make targeted clients upgrade to Agent 2012 and join the new SCCM 2012 Site?

    I tested this (deploying 2012 agent using existing 2007 SCCM infrastructure) with a few test systems at my desk and it seems to work pretty smoothly.  I made a package to deploy SCCM 2012 SP1 and added it to my SCCM 2007 Site.  Then I deployed
    the 2012 agent from 2007 and it worked great.  If it works this well in production, I will be able to migrate all of my clients in less than a weeks time. 
    I have not published the 2012 site information in AD - and I don't plan to.  We would have some overlapping site boundaries - and in 2012 it seems its unnecessary in a single site hierarchy.  I AM planning to use boundaries to assign
    DPs, but thankfully site and DP boundaries have been separated.  It works great to just specify the site in everything and not worry about auto discovery.  My clients don't move among sites since I only have one large site.
    Sorry that I somehow posted this same question twice, and thanks for cleaning that up.
     In my installation, I just called ccmsetup.exe with the following command line...
     /mp:myMP.mydomain.com CCMLOGMAXHISTORY=5 CCMLOGMAXSIZE=1000000 SMSCACHEFLAGS=PERCENTDISKSPACE;NTFSONLY SMSCACHESIZE=10 SMSMP=myMP.mydomain.com SMSSITECODE=CCM
    I am not sure that I need to specify the MP twice, but it is working to do so.  I'm also not sure whether the log and cache flags will be honored since there are existing settings from SCCM2007 agent.  I think that the 2012 install will not change
    these settings upon installation, but it does not appear to hurt the process to include them just in case it does work.

  • Whats the best method to deploy sccm 2012 client

    Hello what is the best method to deploy SCCM 2012 client, is there a script that should be used as sometimes the client push fails. In particular pushing the client to server 03 /08/12 types.
    Thankyou
    SCCM Deployment Technician

    Ultimately, the best method is whatever works for you. Every environment is different and has unique constraints and requirements. You first need to learn out each of the methods and what they do to be able to properly evaluate which will work best for you.
    Kind of like mining for gold, who cares how you got it out of the ground, once you get it out, you're rich :-) But if you rely on someone else telling you what the best way was for their mine, you may not be doing it the best way for your mine thus you need
    to geological surveys, exploration, trial and error, etc. In other words, you need to do some real grunt work.
    Often, using multiple methods is best though because each has its pros and cons (yes, even my startup script -- thanks for the cheerleading Michael and Tim). But as mentioned, it all comes down to you learning about your environment and the different
    methods available to make the best choice. If there was only one "best" way to do it, there wouldn't be multiple available and none of us would really be needed.

  • Can I go to SCCM 2007 after deploying SCCM 2012?

    About a month ago I deployed SCCM 2012 in my Lab environment. 
    The testing I conduct supports a Security Engineering team.
    I’m running 100 servers, 2003 & 2008 R2, and 40 XP and Win7 Clients (most Win7). 
    After a month of troubleshooting it still will not function correctly. 
    30% of the clients show failed Client Health status, I can’t get the system to auto install via GPO, and of the simple MS updates I’ve pushed, only about 20% clients work.
    I’ve had a ticket with MS open for over a month now on the Client install piece but they have largely ignored me. 
    It’s been two weeks since I spoke with a MS tech, and that was after requesting the case be elevated. 
    After bouncing a few emails back and forth the Tier II Tech has never called me during my work Hrs. 
    8-5 EST.
    Is it possible to install SCCM 2007 once you have expanded the Schema to install SCCM 2012? 
    Absent that I’ll be forced to scrap SCCM and go with WSUS for updates for the short run.
    This issue is starting to really impact production issues and has to get either solved or bypassed.
    Regards,
    Bryan

    I'd recommend that you run the Schema Expansion tool that comes with Configuration Manager 2007.
    The reason being is that 2012 has done away with the SLP, meaning that this may or may not be included in it's version of the schema extensions. However, Configuration Manager 2012 does not have anything 'new' in its schema expansion, so you can safely 'downgrade'
    to 2007, but as I said, run the 2007 schema extension tool just in case the SLP attributes are not included in the 2012 schema expansion.
    I am more curious as to the problems you're experiencing with 2012 though, if your having problems with 2012 I don't see how reverting to 2007 will resolve the problems?

  • Distribute Customer Updates in SCCM 2012 (CU's) using a Task Sequence

    I want to utilize a Task Sequence to Distribute Customer Updates to SCCM 2012 Clients.  I currently have 2 collections for pre-CU 4 clients, one for 32 Bit Clients (x86) , one for 64 Bit Clients (x64).  I have a package pertinent to each collection
    which I use to distribute the updates.
    However, instead of segregating them by collection, I would like to have one big collection, and have the Task Sequence sort out which package should load on which collection.
    I've tried using the RUN COMMAND LINE, and INSTALL PACKAGE options to no avail.  Is there a way to utilize a Task Sequence for this undertaking, or should I just continue the way I'm currently doing it.
    Thanks ,
    Dan

    You can set Collection Variables for the two collections, then add running condition in the Task Sequence Steps for corresponding collections.

  • Deployed Windows 7 Image failing to start -SCCM 2012 SP1

    Hello, I am deploying windows 7 image using SCCM 2012 SP1, the installation goes thru fine but when it is in the process of restart, a blue screen is displayed for a split second and then it tries to reboot again with same results. Are there any logs on
    the SCCM server I can check to see where the problem may be?

    This generally means inaccessible boot device. How are you partitioning the drive and applying the image?
    This is one way to do it

  • Deploy SCCM 2012 Monthly updates (not with ADR), updates get expired

    Hi,
    I’m looking howto use monthly updates in SCCM 2012 R2. This post is showing howto with automatic deployment rules (ADR), but I’d need to do this without ADR.
    http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/6799-using-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-part-9-deploying-monthly-updates/
    What I do:
    1.filter on updates I need
    2.add them to an update group
    3.distribute these updates as mandatory to our default windows 7 collection
    Now everything works fine until some updates in the update group get expired. Then no updates are distributed anymore. Please advise.

    Jan Hoedt

    Leave the expired updates and group the remaining updates (create software group fo these) and deploy to your clients.
    Search the updates in sccm console: Add criteria: Expired NO

    I am using SCCM 2012 to deploy critical and important updates through Automatic Deployment Rule it works fine but i have noticed recently on the client machines i see the same KB / update is installed multiple times.
    Why would this happen? Please suggest.

    Hi,
    My computer also have duplicated updates installed. I uninstalled one of them that needed a restart. Then uninstall another one after restart, it hadn't asked for restart and the uninstall process was very fast. So I think the update only installed one time,
    the others are duplicated records.

  • Deploying SCCM 2012 Client over DirectAccess

    I have not been able to successfully deploy the SCCM 2012 client to any DirectAccess clients when they are not connected to the internal network.  I have migrated my collections from SCCM 2007 and all machines connected internally had no issues.  I
    have added the new SCCM server to the Infrastructure Servers configuration on the UAG and applied the Group Policy.  In the CCM logs, I am seeing "the device %computername% does not exist on the network" although I can ping them.  The client push
    account is a local admin on the machines so I am at a loss as to why they can't connect.  Could it be boundary related?

  • Windows XP extended support patches through SCCM 2012

    My question is how do customers that  have signed up for extended support agreement with Microsoft for Windows XP get any NEW Windows XP security updates through SCCM/WSUS?
    1. How are these NEW security updates released to the customer?
    2. How can they deploy these through SCCM 2007/2012?
    3., If updates are released through another mechanism , I presume the customer woyuld need to manually deploy these through SCCM?
    Appreciate if anyone has had experience recently around this?

    There is another channel that these updates are released that has nothing to do with WSUS to my knowledge. I have no idea exactly how it works or if these updates can be integrated into ConfigMgr. You should talk to your TAM.

  • Deploy Windows 8 To Go through SCCM 2012 SP1

    First a little backgroud:
    I have SCCM 2012 SP1 with MDT 2012 Update 1 integrated. I am using an MDT UDI task sequence to deploy windows 8 and it works perfectly. My Windows 8 image is fairly thin (only containing OS updates and C++ runtimes), and I am using the MDT database
    and an MDT task sequence in SCCM 2012  to dynamically set a list of SCCM Applications to install as well as settings based on location. 
    Now I want to get Windows To Go provisioning working in SCCM 2012 SP1. I had a powershell script that preparied the drive and applied a thick image (including office and other apps) to it then updated unattend.xml with a computer name and the domain join
    info.  That worked for me however I'd like to levarage the dynamic task sequence that I described above to build these To Go sticks the same as my other Windows 8 machines without having to keep updating the thick image evertime something changes. 
    There isn't much info out there that Iv'e found on setting up SCCM 2012 SP1 to provision windows to go here are the two that I have found 
    http://ixrv.blogspot.com/2012/10/provisioning-windows-8-to-go-with.html
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj651035.aspx
    I followed the instructions in the first link and was able to run the Windows to Go Creator program and apply the prestaged wim to the USB stick. I rebooted from the USB stick Windows PE started and started to run my task sequence then it errored out on
    the apply image step. At this point it occured to me that the MDT SCCM task sequence was probably not setup for prestaged media and or Windows To Go. 
    So my question is am I on the right track? Do I just need to examine each step in my task sequence and make sure that it will work properly with my Prestaged/Windows To Go stick? If so has anyone actually gotten this to work that could give me some advice?
    Or is it asking too much to have a dynamic Windows To Go task sequence and I should just be building a thick image and using a second task sequence specifically for Windows to go? 
    are there any other resources for Windows To Go with SCCM that I'm missing? 
    Thanks, 
    Tony

    First of all sorry I missed your last three posts I have to check my email notifications. I'll try to answer all of them even though I think the last part is the only one where you are still stuck. 
    When I created my prestaged media I didn't put anything into it except for the the OS image and my PE image. On the Select Application and Select Package screen in the prestaged media wizard remove any application or packages that are added automatically.
    The task sequence is supposed to be smart enough to know if the version of the package that is on the prestaged media is out of date and go to a DP to get it but that didnt work for me. The only way I was able to get it to work was to remove all the packages
    from the prestaged media even the Customsettings package, the MDT toolkit package, USMT, etc.. 
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrosd/thread/d729d0ff-829f-4af8-91af-2131b3355fd0/
    This thread which is about prestaged media in SCCM 2007 helped me to understand how prestaged media is supposed to work. Basically what I learned is that once the computer is rebooted from the ToGo stick into PE the task sequence will run the same as any
    other task sequence installing any applications and setting up your ToGo stick just like any other computer that runs the task sequence they dont need to be in your prestaged media for this to happen. 
    You shouldn't need to worry about partitioning WTGCreator.exe will partition the ToGo stick for you I'm just using the standard MDT Integrated partitioning in my task sequence. The one thing that I did was set the Windows To Go Creator package to "run from
    distribution point" which speed things up because then it didnt download the prestaged wim then apply it to the USB drive. 
    Is it booting into PE then rebooting? Did you check the "Allow unattend operating system deployment" check box when you made your prestaged media? If so it wants you to have set the task sequence to run in a task sequence variable SMSTSPreferredAdvertID
    to the task sequence ID you want to run. I'd just remake the media and leave that box unchecked. 
    Good luck and let me know how it works for you. I'll check back sooner this time I promise. 

  • SCCM 2012 SP1 - OS Deployment - hash could not be matched for the downloded content

    I've got a newly deployed SCCM 2012 SP1 running on Windows Server 2012. The W2K12 runs as vm on ESX 5.1. I'm having very odd issues with OS deployment. The TS keeps failing when processing SCCM client installation - it downloads the package but then it fails
    straight away with the 80091007 - hash values couldn't be matched error - some extract from smsts.log attached below. It's very consistent, it happens every time - it downloads and applies the image fine straight after that it bombs out.
    What is very interesting is that it works perfectly fine when I deploy vms (on the same or different host) - the issue seems to be be only affecting physical machines (laptops desktops). This might suggest some network issues (vSwitch with Cisco switches) but
    the config on the switch is very simple and this shouldn't be the case.
    I had a few virtualised SCCM 2007 installations (ESX 5 and 4) and it always worked with no problems.
    I tried to recreate the package (changing source directory), turn binary differential replication on and off, copy the content of the package to the dist point or not copy. Push client installation (or other package deployments) work fine
    When I tried to deploy with no download - sometimes it works but most of the time I'd get the files/folder corrupt error (can't remember the No)
    This is starting to drive me crazy - There are some significant changes in the way SCCM 2012 is validating package integrity (like Content Lib folder) but the consistency of this problem is just very odd.
    Anyone has any clues?
    thanks

    is this the only indication of a problem in your smsts.log file ? did you apply the
    authenticode hotfix or have you
    downloaded the SP1 media after that hotfix was applied ?

  • OSD: TS deployed to Vista SCCM 2012 client, reboots then doesn't find network drivers

    Hi,
    We deploy SCCM 2012 client to a SCCM 2007 Vista pc.
    We then deploy a task sequence to install Windows 7.
    Everything works fine on a vm, it reboots in winpe then starts the task sequence. On a laptop however, it does not work. F8 shows it does not get an ip address, it seems as if no network adaptor is recognized.
    However, the same task sequence works fine on the same laptop when pxe booting + I added the driver to winpe. Didn’t help. Please advise.

    I think I know what the root cause is, but not how to solve it.
    In diskpart, I can see 3 volumes:
    *Volume 0 = D-drive, DVD-rom,
    *Volume 1 = no drive letter, partition of 400 GB
    *Volume 2 = C-drive, label "Configuratio", type "removable" 4 GB
    It should install to the 400 GB drive but it seems that its installing to the removable drive.
    Not sure what that is since there is no USB attached. Probably it is the winpe temporarely mounted(?)
    The behaviour I have is described
    here and is also referring to USB.
    => I guess I have to tell the temporarely mounted drive to be f.e. Z when installing in full OS.
    Any idea howto do this?
