Hmmm, I never thought about it, but it's not surprising. From what we've been told, the only significant thing is the DB and the site restore process only uses the DB regardless of how the DB was backed up. Thus, even if you are using the built-in backup maintenance task, only the DB is used and the rest is ignored. Given that the configuration.mof file is not in the DB, it's ignored and the default is rebuilt, re-extracted, or something similar.
J From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Spinelli, Robert J Sent: Friday, September 6, 2013 12:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] Restore doesn't restore configuration.mof - SCCM 2012 SP1 I was doing some work in the lab and performing a restore and was surprised to see that our custom configuration.mof that was backed up wasn't actually restored. The restore process put back the default configuration.mof Can anyone else confirm they had to drop their custom configuration.mof back into inboxes\clifiles.src\hinv after performing a restore. Thank you.
