SCCM 2012: Reinstall remote distribution point?

November 14, 2014, 3:49 am

Hi,

We have a remote distribution point to which we can't deploy packages anymore. Several attempts to repair it failed.
I'd like to remove the distribution point and reinstall it via SCCM 2012 console.

However, I'd like to know the impact since it contains GB of packages already.
Note: the DP has been removed for clients (temorarely) so no impatc there.

My questions:
-what is best practises: can I just remove and add it in 1 go (or need to wait before re-adding, reboot needed in between)?
-will all data be pulled in again (I activated pull and would reactivate it after reinstall)?
-what's your experience in this procedure? does it work in general or is it preferrable I continue troubleshooting the current situation?

Please advise.

Hi,

We have a deployed package which we needed to change/upate. We updated the source and distributed the (existing) package to the distribution point.
The package is set as available. When can we be sure that when client run it, they'll have the latest package (and not the one in cache)?

Please advise.

Deploying an Application to a number of different computer models

Hi,

I have an application that I would like to deploy to a number of the older Dell models on my network. I have been looking at Global Conditions but for some reason it just isn't working.

I have created my requirement like this:

But when I try and deploy it to the test machine I get this:

If I edit the requirement to "Detect Model Equals OptiPlex 745" then it installs fine so I know my GC is returning the model correctly... But, why is it not matching the Actual Value to the Requirement when I select 'One of' as my operator?

Please tell me where I'm going wrong.

Thanks.

In ConfigMgr 2007, I could go to 'System Status / Advertisement Status / "advertisement name"/ Show Messages' to see detailed installation status info for advertisements.  Where is the equivalent location in ConfigMgr 2012 R2?

Thanks.

Hi,

We'd need to manage pc's in a different domain. What 's the best way to do this with least of impact?
F.e. can we install a remote distribution point that can handle all the sccm-tasks? Currently we have 1 sccm-server setup as a primary site.

Please advise.

Advanced logging for Task Sequence in SCCM

I am running SCCM 2012 R2 with MDT.  I have a very long task sequence (TS) for our current OSD.  I was wondering if there was any way to make the smsts.log file a little more readable and helpful in finding exactly where the process failed. I am using cmtrace to find where it failed, but some times seeing the failed message does not tell me what in my TS failed. 

I am just looking for suggestions or ideas on what i can do to add some more information to these logs or some way to add comments to the log so it puts some relevant information that I can understand.

Thank you,

Required deployments installing only outside business hours

 Hi experts,

    We have a following problem over here in our SCCM 2012 infrastructure - any application deployment, even set to Required is never installing right away, unless you do it during the weekend. During normal working days nothing happens (application is not even detected with App Dep Ev Cycle) until 22:00. Then all the applications scheduled with the deadline during the day will install (we can see, that the files' timestamps are from 22:00). Any thoughts? No maintenance windows configured for those clients...

Hello Guys,

Am installing Office Package through SCCM. I have an extra requirement to show a dialog box to user, that installation has completed. I used a Vb Script for that, Please find the attached image.

Am using a Install.bat script to

1. Command line to install Office (START "" /min /WAIT %WORKING%setup.exe /configure %WORKING%install32ny.xml)

2. Command line to Run VB Script to display the message. (START "" /min %WORKING%Launch.vbs)

Issue is am not getting the dialog box after my application installation.

My package's Program properties below:

Command Line: Install.bat

Run: Normal    (tried Hidden option also)

After Running: No action required.

Note: When i run the script manually in a cmd it perfectly, (i installed via System Context with psexec.exe only the way which SCCM also do)

Please let me know what i need to take care for the VBS to run and display the attached dialog box.

Or is that in SCCM we have inbuild feature to do these tasks.

Please suggest.

Problem with uninstalling Office 2013 SCCM 2012 R2

Hi, I am in a process of learning SCCM 2012 R2. Currently I am focused on application management so I started by deploying Office 2013 to test collection with only one member - direct rule membership by computer name. Deployment process finished without any problems - I kicked off installation from Software Center on client machine. Having installed Office 2013 I tried to uninstall it but I got an error: Setup can't find or validate an installation file. Please try reinstalling . . . . In SCCM server I entered:setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus /config .\ProPlus.ww\Uninstall.xmlin uninstall program line. Uninstall.xml file is nothing special:

<Configuration Product=”ProPlus”>

<Display Level=”basic” CompletionNotice=”yes” SuppressModal=”yes” AcceptEula=”yes” />

</Configuration>

I tried to uninstall Office 2013 from cmd line but I got the same error. I can manually uninstall Office 2013 by running setup.exe file and following wizard but that does not mean anything to me except it proves installation files are not corrupted. Office 2013 installation .iso file is downloaded from MS Volume Licensing Service Center.

Hey,

We're currently embarking on an '07 to '12 migration of SCCM.  Being that Silverlight features heavily with much of the front end, is it at all possible to customize components such as AppCatalogue and Software Center with corporate branding etc etc?

Hi to everyone. I am learning SCCM 2012 R2 using book Mastering SCCM 2012 R2 in addition to various video trainings and online resources. Currently I am focused on application deployment. I created Foxit Reader application - msi deployment type, distributed it to DP and deployed it to device collection containing only one test computer (Win 7 Pro SP1 x64). Having done all these steps I went to client's Software Center and Application Catalog. Foxit Reader app is visible but as soon as I click on Install button I receive an error:

The software change returned error code 0x87D00607(-2016410105).

I deployed Office 2013 a few days ago (although I am struggling to uninstall it silently) without problems. Meanwhile I did not change anything related to boundaries, boundary groups and DPs. I have only one SCCM 2012 R2 server (Primary stand-alone site). I hate these situations when I follow along some official learning material such as this book, doing everything the same as it is done there and it does not work at all.

Unfortunately I can not afford official MS training, my company does not invest in their system engineers so we are on our own. It is nice to learn something by yourself but situations like this take too much time - probably on official training it would be solved immediately.

Network access for application install in system context

November 17, 2014, 4:04 am
$

I may be approaching this all wrong, but I thought I'd throw it out there and see what help I can get.

The application is quite old but still usable and useful.  It was made for Windows XP, but has been working in Win 7 with a manual install by an administrator using XP SP2 compatibility mode for the installer.  Once installed, it runs fine.

I have written a powershell script to set compatibility mode by changing the registry and can get the installer to run from an elevated prompt while logged in as an admin.

The problem I have is that there is a network component to the software which lives on one of our servers.  The client requires the server name during the install, and tries to verify the servers existence (I'm assuming by hitting a share on the server). When I try to install the app in a system context, it fails with an error stating that it cannot see the server.

I'm assuming that this is because the system context has no network rights, and I'm wondering what approach I can take to give it some.  I was vaguely hoping that I could use the network access account credentials for this purpose.  Perhaps give that account permissions on the network share it is trying to hit?  I'll give that a shot when I get back in the office, but I'm open to alternatives.

The user does not have sufficient permissions to edit the registry, so I'm not sure how the user context would be helpful to me.

Any thoughts?  Thanks in advance.

The task sequence fails randomly with the exit code -2016411115

I am having issue with the TS installing Adobe creative suite. CS suite volumes to 3.7 GB and all together 4.5 gigs. Individual deployment of each package is successful but fails with TS. I'm running CM2012 and tried out all possible settings in TS deployment and Program run behavior. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

My TS has below steps:1,2,3 & 4 installs the redistrubutables

5 - Install Adobe acrobat

6 - Install CS6 Suite

7- Reboot

Tried disabling step 6 and the TS completed successfully. On a random the same error came on Step 5 when Acrobat failed.

Content distribution is handled by adaptiva one site downloader.

Deployment options is set to - Download all content locally before starting task sequence.

TS history report has the below status for the step failing, which is the last one in TS:-

Problem with option: enable this distribution point for prestaged content

Hi, for past few days I have been focused on application deployment with SCCM 2012 R2 (I am learning SCCM 2012 R2 reading books, watching video trainings . . .). Having followed allong book Mastering System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager I also did deployment of Microsoft Office 2013, Adobe Reader 11, Foxit Reader 4.2 and Notepad ++ to test collection containing one Windows 7 computer. In one of examples prestaged content file is created for Foxit Reader application. In order to do so, if I am right, option Enable this distribution point for prestaged content has to be checked on distribution point and I did that.

Problem is that I noticed deployment of any application to test collection failed every time - system waits for prestaged content file if this option is selected. Then I have to delete deployment of given application, application itself, deselect optionEnable this distribution point for prestaged content and create app, distribute it to DP and deploy to test collection - then everything works well.

To make things worse, having deselect option Enable this distribution point for prestaged content (I did it yesterday and I checked that several times) this morning I checked again and this option is selected again. What might be the cause of this behaviour? I expected this option to be deselected - this is weird to say at least.
