WSUS installation on SCCM 2012 R2

For the life of us we cannot install WSUS on our SCCM 2012 R2 server.
We tried the \wsusutil.exe postinstall SQL_INSTANCE_NAME="ABC\SUSDB" CONTENT_DIR=X:\WSUS
We keep getting this error message below, and the highlighted part is the problem.
The account we are using has access to 'local admin' rights of the SCCM box. Also access to SQL
We have the proper permissions on the folder, adding also Network Service, etc.
We cannot get WSUS up and running and keep hitting a wall.   It will not create WSUS website
Any suggestions would help.

Fasten the Process of MDT UDI OD Installation in SCCM 2012 R2 OSD

Hi,
I have implemented MDT UDI Task Sequence in SCCM 2012 R2 OSD. The issue which I am facing is the UDI Installation progress is very slow. it is taking around 2 hours to complete the whole Installation.
Is there any way to fasten the Process of MDT UDI OD Installation in SCCM 2012 R2 OSD.
Thanks & Regards,
Sanjay Dubey

Application installs can take awhile - it depends on what applications you're installing, and how many. For instance, installing Office is clearly going to take longer than say 7-Zip. How many applications are you installing during a normal OS
deployment? You can check the AppEnforce.log to see how long an application(s) is taking to install, as the start and end times are recorded.
As for the MDT Settings package, how many times are you calling this package? My task sequence only calls it 5 times, and one of them is before you even get the UDI wizard, while the second and third is an either/or situation, depending on whether
you do a refresh or a fresh PC build.

Installation of SCCM 2012 R2 and SQL Server 2014 error

Hello All,
I am attempting to setup SQL Server 2014 and SCCM 2012 R2 but I keep running into an error stating that "Configuration Manager requires Microsoft SQL Server
2008 SP2 w/ CU9........ all the way up to Microsoft SQL Server 2012 with CU2 or higher." I am using all evaluation versions for this configuration as we are looking to test and evaluate the products. I was trying it with SQL 2014 because I was running
into the same error with SQL 2012 and according to "http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2015/03/30/updated-sc2012-configmgr-sp1-and-sc2012r2-configmgr-support-sql-server-2014.aspx" SQL
2014 is supported with SCCM 2012 R2. SQL is installed locally on the same box.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tucker
Update: When running the Pre-Req check these are some of the failed returns.....
SQL Server Edition: Failed: Configuration Manager primary site and central administration site don't support SQL Server Express Edition
Not sure why it is recognizing SQL Express as this is a new machine.
SQL Server service running account: Failed: The logon account for the SQL Server service cannot be a local user account, NT SERVICE\<sql service name> or LOCAL SERVICE. You must configure
the SQL Server service to use a valid domain account, NETWORK SERVICE, or LOCAL SYSTEM.
For the SQL Service I am using a domain account created specifically for this.

This has nothing to do with moving or restoring. The kb article says "This hotfix provides updated versions of the setup files and enables new installations
of the System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager site database role and the System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1 site database role in Microsoft SQL Server 2014"

Automate USER BASED PACKAGE installations in SCCM 2012

Hi All,
I want to automate the installation of software(in my case a user based package) from the Application Catalog.
Here is just some general information:
1. All software(Applications and Packages) deployed to Device Colllections will be published in Software Center
2. All software(Applications and Packages) deployed to User Based Collections will be published in the Application Catalog
3. Once software has been deployed from the Application Catalog, it is also available/visible in Software Centre .. this could be confusing for (scripted) test purposes!
To Automate installations i tested the following (Powershell) methods:
Methode 1 - Install Device Based Packages (This works)
$SoftwareCenter = New-Object -ComObject UIResource.UIResourceMgr
# to show applications
$Application = $SoftwareCenter.GetAvailableApplications() | where {$_.name -like $APPNAME}
# to install an application
$SoftwareCenter.ExecuteProgram($Application.id, $Application.PackageId, $true)
(once an User Based Package has been installed from the Application Catalog, it will be shown in the results of this method .. but initially it don't!!)
Method 2 - Install Device based Applications (This works)
Invoke-WmiMethod -Namespace root\ccm\clientsdk -Class CCM_Application -Name Install -ArgumentList 0,"xxAPP scope IDxx",$True,$False,1,1
Method 3 - Install User based Applications
Invoke-WmiMethod -Namespace root\ccm\clientsdk -Class CCM_Application -Name Install -ArgumentList 0,"xxAPP scope IDxx",$False,$False,1,1
(once an User Based Application has been installed from the Application Catalog, this method can be used .. but initially it can't!!)
Method 4 - Install User Based Packages (NOT WORKING)
This solution is based on an (scripted) installation from the Application Catalog. Information can be found on the following sites:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2012/09/19/extending-the-application-catalog-in-system-center-2012-configuration-manager.aspx
http://allthingsconfigmgr.wordpress.com/2012/10/02/application-catalog-uncovered/#more-284
You can see the usable operations/methodes, by using the following URL in your SCCM 2012 environment:
http://YOURSITE/CMApplicationCatalog/ApplicationViewService.asmx
The method i tried for an installation part is 'installapplication', see example below:
$service.Installapplication($appid, $deviceid, $null)
This syntax is correct because it's giving a result that indicates the my command was correct(when i change the variables it produces an error), but that's it ... no application is installed.
For the record: the operations/methods 'RequestApplicationForUser and GetApplications' are working fine.
There is also log file 'ServicePortalWebService.log' on the Application Catalog Server in
C:\Program Files\SMS_CCM\CMApplicationCatalogSvc\Logs, where i can see that Installation call is (correctly) be done.
To be short:
Is there anybody who can tell me how to automate (with Powershell) an USER BASED PACKAGE installation?
With kind regards,
Hayo Veenstra

Thanks for your reaction.
What i want is creating shortcuts in the startmenu of a user, that initiates a SCCM software installation. We also use this method for our SCCM 2007 environment by initating advertisments. I do not want a required user deployments, because when that user
logs on on another machine (for a short time) .. all his/her software will be deployed. So i do not want to install unnescessary software .. only what a user initiates.
Do you have other suggestions?
I'm not sure about the shortcuts. But, as for required deployments to users installing on all machines they log onto: Not if you have User Device Affinity running for you. You can set a requirement in the application to only install on a user's
primary device. Another option that we often deploy is to use App-V to deploy a virtual version of that app if the device they logged onto is not their primary. When they log off, it goes away. This is all done using User Device Affinity.
This is new in 2012.

SQL 2012 Enterprise SP1 installation for SCCM 2012 R2

I am just starting to install SQL 2012 with SP1 Enterprise for SCCM 2012 R2.
Does anyone have a step by step guide for this install please
I am planning to install SQL 2012 with SP1 Enterprise as a physical install which I intend to geo cluster later on
Also I am thinking of installing WSUS on a separate server and get my SCCM 2012 servers (1 primary and 3 secondary) to use this server - would appreciate some help on how this can be setup as well

That doesn't make sense to me. Both versions are fully supported on virtual and physical platforms.
Also, I'm with Garth - local SQL all the way.
Here are my thoughts on the subject
http://www.gerryhampsoncm.blogspot.ie/2013/10/configmgr-sql-some-tips.html
ConfigMgr is not a real-time product like Exchange, for example. A certain amount of downtime can be tolerated. I would spend more time implementing a robust backup solution, rather than trying to implement high availability.
You should be able to recover a ConfigMgr site from SQL backup in a couple of hours.

Remote WSUS integration with SCCM 2012

Hi,
We are currently having WSUS already in place for Patching , but not used at all its just installed.
can remote WSUS be integrated with SCCM 2012 server which is on different server ? what is the best practice ? is it to have WSUS on same server as Primary server?
or I decommission it and install a new WSUS on same server as SCCM server.
what steps have to be taken care if remote WSUS is integrated ? any documents or steps to be taken care .
Thanks in Advance

When you install SUPs, they automatically configure the underlying WSUS instance to sync from an upstream server based upon your ConfigMgr hierarchy.
A couple of notes here though:
- You generally shouldn't use an existing instance of WSUS for ConfigMgr. Once integrated into ConfigMgr, WSUS should no longer manage approvals, update binary downloads, or update binary distribution as these are all handled by ConfigMgr separate from WSUS.
Using an existing WSUS instance where this was the case can be problematic at best and will cause unexpected behavior and results.
- Clients do not choose SUPs based upon boundaries or location so using a remote SUP is typically not beneficial and in many cases will cause additional network load. The exception to this is if the SUP is within a secondary site.

clients are getting installed but taking a lot of time.. in that case i am still showing some files are downloading from SCCM server in ccmsetup.log
please suggest i don not want to download any files from sccm server for the installation on VPN client machines..
how can i achieve this , i do not want to use any script to make a complex installation just i want to use manual command line as below .. should i copy the complete client folder to VPN client machines for the installation... such things i have also checked
but in that case still files are being downloaded from SCCM Server.

Cumulative Update 4 installation for SCCM 2012 R2

Hi all,
This is my first time installing a CU update on SCCM 2012.
We have an environment with 15 Servers, 1 is a Primary and the other are Site System Servers.
Would I need to install the CU4 update only to the Primary server? or would I have to deploy the CU4 to the other 14 Site Systems Servers.
I've been reading the following
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3026739
http://dekeukelaere.com/2014/01/30/implementing-configuration-manager-2012-sp1-cumulative-update-4/
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2014/01/29/now-available-cumulative-update-4-for-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-service-pack-1.aspx
And also if they don't have CU3 on them would I need to do that first, or would
CU4 encompass previous updates.
Cheers for any help on this matter.

When they're only site systems with a role installed than those roles will be upgraded with the primary site installation. Here is one of the many nice posts about the installation process (and order):
http://www.scconfigmgr.com/2015/02/03/install-configmgr-2012-r2-cu4-in-your-hierarchy/
Also, you don't have to install CU3 first.

Kindly suggest is any other settings need to be done on server side.

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?
From your log snip-it, it looks like the firewall is causing your problem. Temporary turn off the firewall and see if that solves your problem.

Slipstreaming CU3 during first installation of SCCM 2012 R2

Hi
I am working on automating a SCCM 2012 R2 installation. During a scripted installation using Powershell I want to install CU3. What I want to know is, can I install CU3 with the same command line I use to install SCCM?
For example:
Setup.exe /Script C:\MyInstallScript.ini Patch=Z:\CU3.exe
or
Start-Process "Z:\SetUp.exe" -ArgumentList "/Script C:\MyInstallScript.ini /Patch= Z:\CU3.exe"
If this is not possible can I install CU3 in the same Powershel script I use to Install SCCM 2012 R2? For example:
Start-Process "Z:\SetUp.exe" -ArgumentList "/Script C:\MyInstallScript.ini" -Wait
Start-Process "Z:\CU3.exe" -ArgumentList "/Quiet" -Wait
Or something like that. Thanks!

Hmm can I run the CU3 exe in the same ps script I use to install sccm 2012 R2? Like so:
Start-Process "Z:\SetUp.exe" -ArgumentList "/Script C:\MyInstallScript.ini" -Wait
Start-Process "Z:\CU3.exe" -ArgumentList "/Quiet" -Wait
Or do I have to run it in two different scripts? Because there is a need for a reboot or something.
The above is small part of the script I use of course.

After SUP install event id 1 appearing after installation of SCCM 2012 R2

I've just built a SCCM 2012 R2 environment. All appears ok, there aren't any noticable errors within SCCM. However since installing the SUPs on my CAS and two secondary sites I noticed the following alert appearing in event viewer.
Event ID 1 - Critical
System.NullReferenceException\r\nObject reference not set to an instance of an object.\r\n at Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.ManagementProvider.WqlQueryEngine.WqlQueryPropertySingleItem.get_IntegerValue()
at Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.AdminConsole.SoftwareUpdateHelper.DisplayUtilities.GetSupSyncStatusIcon(Object sender, ScopeNode scopeNode, IResultObject resultObject, AssemblyDescription& resourceAssembly)\r\n
Has anyone seen this before? Should I be concerned?
(SQL is installed locally. I've used a named instance.)
Thanks

Sorry - my mistake. We have 1 CAS and 2 Primary Sites. We have already had a discussion about our need for a CAS - see link
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/0702f44e-8d8c-47cc-a825-5750d70a4cbd/replication-link-failing-or-degraded?forum=configmanagergeneral
I have checked all the logs above. SUPSetup.log says installation successful and there are no errors in the wsusctrl.log, wsyncmr.log and wcm.log log files.
I haven't yet synchronized the software Updates for one of the Primaries with the CAS, as I was planning to kick this off this evening. The other Primary has sync'd with the CAS no problem.

WSUS Issues in SCCM 2012 environment

Hi Folks
I have a WSUS server running in a secure environment. Because i have no access to the internet from this server i use an upstream server for my update source. We have used another WSUS server as our upstream box for a while without issue but our company
has now gone to SCCM 2012 and i so i am now using this as my update source. This works well with synchronisations working without issue.
My problem is that within the wsus console the computers are showing with updates available but when i go to the computer and run windows update it states no updates are available. also looking in the windowsUpdate logs it states 0 updates found!!
I thought this was because i was using a w2008R2 wsus server so i have built another wsus server based on w2012r2 and this has exactly the same results. if i point the server back to use my other wsus server as an upstream server it all works and updates
are available on the computers.
Has anybody else had this issue and more importantly is there a fix? i dont want to use sccm for updates direct so i need to get this working.
my computers looking for updates are all w2008r2. my wsus server is w2008r2 and i also have a w2012r2 wsus server for testing. the sccm 2012 server is based on w2012r2 box all are x64
thanks

Hi,
>>My problem is that within the wsus console the computers are showing with updates available but when i go to the computer and run windows update it states no updates are available.
Please make sure that the Update is approved for the specific group and the client are in the correct group.
Beside, please check if the update file has been downloaded on the WSUS server. The update will be available until it has been downloaded.
Best Regards.

Proper WSUS+SCUP on SCCM 2012 SP1 with SQL 2012

Been pulling my hair out a new build.
System:
Windows 2012
SQL 2012 SP1
WSUS 4.0
SCUP 2011
WSUS itself will synch if I set source= Microsoft Update.
SCCM SUP will synch with if I set source= Microsoft update.
SCUP will not connect to "update server" in this config.
SCUP will not connect if I check connect to local update server. Nor will it when i try to connect to itself as a remote (ie local host or fqdn in Update server screen)
Now whats weird is if I throw a proxy on my spare machine and aim WSUS and SCUP to use it try SUP to FQDNof SCCM host:8530....I can connect
The problem is with the proxy in play I cannot download Dell catalogs as it used FTP not HTTP (Adobe will download though)
Every so often just for fun it will throw "request for principal permission failed.
Anyone that has this working can you please tell me what you have on each of the SUp. WSUS and SCUP screens

Try running SCUP as administrator. This is usually necessary when SCUP is installed on the ConfigMgr/WSUS server and UAC is enabled. heres a guide that may help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyEGWSFWyy0 using Group Policy is the easiest wat to deploy
the certificates as well.

Certificate Registration Point Role Installation Errors SCCM 2012 r2 cu3

Hi Everyone I am trying to get this role installed but having errors when I check the logs.

Interesting as this is my 1st time installing this role and it looks like it is a matter of waiting...as I now see

How does WSUS work when an SCCM 2012 R2 server is newly installed? Should WSUS be installed and configured on same server?

Let me clarify.
We had a functional WSUS server delivering our updates to ours workstations. The location of the WSUS server was pushed out by Group policies.
Later, an SCCM 2012 R2 installation was installed. The original WSUS server was removed. Now WSUS type services appear to be broken.
I tried to start WSUS on the SCCM 2012 R2 server and it does not start. (I assume its not configured).
I want to get WSUS running again but am not sure how to do this safely in conjunction with our SCCM 2012 R2 installation. Do I just reinstall WSUS on the SCCM server and configure? Or is there other preferred methods?
I was not involved in SCCM's installation, so I do not know what was done.
Geoff.

Update functionality is provided via the Software Update Point
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712312.aspx
... which requires WSUS to be installed - it basically takes control of WSUS.
Any existing group policies defining WSUS servers should be removed so that the SCCM client (which I assume is installed on computers already) can configure accordingly. Otherwise you will have group policy and SCCM client over writing one another to configure
the update server
