Have you captured network traffic from the client to verify what is happening 
when the ConfigMgr client contacts the site to get the updates?

Subject: [mssms] HELP - Windows Defender updates not working

We have a small number of clients on a PCI network, so they’re pretty 
restricted to where they can communicate. We have firewall rules allowing 
communication to our management point, and Windows updates are working fine. 
But Defender updates are not. I have an Endpoint Protection policy assigned to 
these machines that specifies to use our server as the first update source, but 
these machines keep trying to connect to some version of 
*.update.microsoft.com, which gets blocked. Even then, it never tries any other 
sources, even though I have them all checked (see below). I’m attaching the 
WindowsUpdate.log from one of these machines. You can see there are errors when 
I tries to update. There is a successful update near the end, this is when we 
disconnected it from the PCI network and connected to a regular port.

Any advice appreciated!

I see this issue frequently, but have not found a solution either. One

I am having the same issue as well. I came across the same articles as you and 
the suggested fix didn’t help.

I’ve also tried replacing the ApiClient.dll file from a computer that is 
updating correctly to a broken one with no success.

I’m curious who else is having this problem.

Hi,

I’ve been trying to get Office 365 updates deployed through SCCM. Unfortunately 
I keep getting 0x87D0024A "The job is already connected" errors when the SCCM 
client tries to download the updates from the DP.

I’m running Deferred/Semi-annual channel on the client, but (for the purposes 
of testing) deploying all of a month’s updates through their own Software 
Update Group and Deployment Package. All updates are listed in SCCM as 
Downloaded and Deployed, and I can see the content in the Package Source 
folder. The updates are listed in Software Centre but with a status of failed. 
I’m seeing this on both Win7 and Win10.

UpdatesHandler.log contains the following information:

Subject: RE: [mssms] TPM, BitLocker, and ConfigMgr

That’s not quite true.

I am using a powershell script to manipulate WMI to clear it programmatically.  
I am pretty sure I copied the script form someone else but can’t find the 
source right now.  There also seems to be a better way provided by Microsoft, 
see below, but I haven’t tried it yet.  Clearing the TPM may still require 
physical presence though.  Some BIOSs will allow you to turn off that 
requirement though so you could turn it off, clear, the turn it back on.  My 
experience with Dells has shown me that this is a hit or miss depending on 
Model/BIOS version/and phase of the moon.

$TPM = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_TPM -Namespace 
root\CIMV2\Security\MicrosoftTpm

# Enable, activate the chip, and allow the installation of a TPM owner.
$TPM.SetPhysicalPresenceRequest(10)

If(!(($TPM.IsEndorsementKeyPairPresent()).IsEndorsementKeyPairPresent)){

   # Enable the TPM encryption
   $TPM.CreateEndorsementKeyPair()

}

# Check if the TPM chip currently has an owner
If(($TPM.IsEndorsementKeyPairPresent()).IsEndorsementKeyPairPresent){

   # Convert password to hash
   $OwnerAuth=$TPM.ConvertToOwnerAuth("temppwd")

   # Clear current owner
   $TPM.Clear($OwnerAuth.OwnerAuth)

   # Take ownership
   $TPM.TakeOwnership($OwnerAuth.OwnerAuth)
}

Hi all,

Last week we pushed out an application that performed an agent upgrade for one 
of our security tools. The deployment was configured as required with a soft 
were available time of 5:00 pm. UTC. The deadline was configured as soon as 
possible after the software available time.

However, the deployment actually started to kick off several hours before the 
scheduled time. There is no maintenance window configured on the target 
collection.

I need some help provide an explanation as to why and how this happened. I 
reviewed some of the client log files and could see that the deployment have 
checked off in some cases six hours prior to the 5:15 PM available time. But 
this does not answer the question as to why.

Are there any settings I should be looking at in reviewing? Did I overlook 
something?

What could've caused the deployment to kick off earlier than the time I 
mentioned above based on the settings are used?

Thanks,

Brian

We have a brand new out of the box Dell E7270 Latitude. The machine comes with 
UEFI already configured and we are imaging it with Windows 10.

We PXE boot the machine, go through our SCCM task sequences to image the 
machine and everything appears to be great.

We take this same machine we just imaged, remove it from SCCM and go to reimage 
this machine and right after we choose our Win10 Task Sequence we get the 
following message every time:

“The task sequence was unable to locate a logical drive. The hard disk will 
need to be partitioned and formatted. Click OK to continue or Cancel to exit 
the task sequence”

We have a bunch of older machines, that we do a BIOS to UEFI (which works fine) 
TS then image the machine same as above but again, when we want to reimage the 
same machine we get that same error each time.

What we have done in the past is before we have to put in our SCCM TS password, 
we hit F8 and do a diskpart manually to wipe the disk, but this seems counter 
intuitive as the task sequence should be able to wipe the drive anyways as part 
of the task sequence.
Plus when we do this, it does not seem to image properly after words meaning it 
fails each time.

Has anyone seen this issue before? Is there something different we need to add 
to our TS in order for this to work?

Thanks,

[mssms] Re: [MDT-OSD] UDI not reading variables

[Jeff Poling]

I spent more time on this today.  As I said, one issue was variables being 
pulled from an errant customsettings.ini.  With that resolved, what I see now 
is an issue with the domain join variables related to UDI.  If I use collection 
variables or variables set in the task sequence, UDI gets "corrupt" values 
(basically a string of random characters).  If I set those domain join 
variables in customsettings.ini, it works without issue.


Ultimately, I think I am going to do as David mentioned. . .rely on the apply 
network settings step in the TS and not UDI for the domain join credentials.


Thanks,


Jeff

I made some progress with this.  My settings package had a default

the rogue file, UDI gets the proper variables.

[mssms] RE: [MDT-OSD] UDI not reading variables

[Jeff Poling]

None of the pre-defined variables are being populated in UDI.  For example, the 
domain join account is pre-populated in a locked field.  But it shows as a 
series of random characters, not the correct domain join account.  We also set 
the computer name with a variable, and UDI shows the MININT name, not the 
expected computer name derived from the asset tag.

I will check out the pause….thanks

We have a robust software certification process. The operational teams 
basically have a rule, if it's not certified, it doesn't get installed.

Some installs require our Security teams approval before each install.

Some installs have special approvers like a license manager or the IT Owner of 
that application.

We are slowly working towards all installs using the PSADT and SCCM as well.

My notes indicate that we uninstalled/reinstalled the ADK prior to

Side note:  1606 is or will soon be--released in media so that you don't
have to do 1511, then 1602, then 1606.  If you haven't yet done so--what's
your rationale for starting with 1511 and doing 2 upgrades instead of
starting with 1606?

Another side note--because it has to be said.  :)  You didn't mention how
many clients you support with those 5 primaries.  are you SURE you need all
5--or can you, prior to upgrading to Current Branch--move clients around to
get rid of one (or 3... the fewer you have, the better off you are for
DRS).  Or of course... do you need a CAS at ALL ? :)

[mssms] Deployment status discrepancy

[Jeff Poling]

ConfigMgr 2012 R2 SP1….if I go to Monitoring | Deployments, an application 
deployment’s completion statistics show one number for errors.  If I click 
“View Status,” to get details, the error number is much lower.

If I use the software distribution reports, I see that the Application 
Deployment Status report has three rows for each type of error…basically 
tripling the number of errors, even though they are for the same user.

Has anyone seen this before? How do I troubleshoot this? The site status is 
healthy overall, from everything I looked at.

Subject: [mssms] SCCM OSD failures

Hi,

I have rather weird OSD issues we have been battling for a long while and I’m 
hoping the list can help me out.

Our environment is pretty simple, a single SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 /w CU3 (Site 
Version 5.00.8239.1000) server doing everything running on Server 2012.


The symptoms presented appear to contradict each other below and have been 
ongoing for around 6 months. We have now upgraded to CU3 with no difference.

Symptoms

· OSD error code “download failed error 87d00267” or “access denied” 
when client tries to download the packages

· OSD will fail on either Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8.1 x64

· Sometimes it will fail on Java or Silverlight or Adobe Reader or 
other applications. Re-running an OSD will usually fail at a different 
application. Disabling a package means that it fails on the next application.

· Running two machines at the same time, with the same TS can have 
different results. i.e one will work and one will fail

· Always fails during an application install, i.e after WIM is applied, 
drivers applied and SCCM agent is installed

· I have tried it on hardware (Lenovo P500 – Xeon with SSD and Lenovo 
T460s with SSD) and VMs (Hyper-V)

·  Re-Running the OSD usually has a different package that fails or it 
might succeed

Changes to SCCM

· I have added some new driver packs-testing confirms drivers are 
working as expected. Appling or not Appling as expected.

· Changed back the TFTP setting to 4096 – only slowed PXE booting down

· Rebooted SCCM server multiple times

· Doubled CPU to 4 cores on server

· Increased RAM to 24GB – it is only using ~8GB

· Confirmed free space

· Tried a delay in the Win81 TS - 
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c0e01eed-7beb-4e18-bc09-bb153c7082ad/osd-failing-on-random-application-installations?forum=configmanagerapps

· Applied CU3

Observations

· Server is not wanting for grunt and can be monitored using 500-600mbs 
network throughput to the client during WIM/driver pack download.


Thanks Mike

[mssms] RE: [MDT-OSD] Slow Windows Update

I added the July 2016 update rollup (KB3172695) which, I think, includes 
updates to the Windows Update agent.  After doing so, the ZTIWindowsUpdate 
script appears to be working better.  The only issue is that there is a known 
problem with that update that affects Bluetooth software from intel.  So I may 
need to update Bluetooth software packages as well.

· Collections

o   Direct membership changes kick off Full Coll Eval!

o   Incremental updates are allowed when done right!

o   Have a CAS?

§  Coll Membership gets updated multiple times by each Primary!

§  Don't manage Collections on primaries, each Primary evals separately

o   Coll Graph - include, exclude, depend upon

§  Look for *graph* in the CollEval.log

o   Using CEViewer

§  Anything >60 seconds = BAD

§  Looks at v_Collections in SQL

o   Full Coll Eval

§  creates a temp table in SQL

· Limiting collections are the WHERE clause

§  Builds dependency graph

· Runs against v_r_system_valid in SQL

o   Incremental Coll Eval

§  Runs against changed resources in Collection Notification (CollNot) table

§  Changed resources have triggers named CollTrack

§  Resources are changed by HINV, SINV, Discovery

§  Hard limit in the SQL SP = 10,000,000

· (# of inc coll eval * rows in CollNot table)

· 10,000,000 / # Coll * .07 = ~ 200 incremental collections total

§  Everything in CollNot table is cleared after running SQL SP

§  Increasing the Coll Eval time doesn't add # of Inc Coll you can have!!

§  Lower Coll Eval time almost better (Dev said he wanted < 1 minute)

§  If collections are based on HINV, SINV, Discovery it counts as incremental!

o   Case of never ending Coll Eval

RE: [mssms] Help with Detection Method

[Jeff Poling]

As you stated, you can wrap the install in a script.  For the facilitating 
detection, you have a couple options:
 
* Create a file on the file system and detect the existence of the file
* Write to the registry as you said and detect the registry entry
 
Those are the two methods I have used most.

I’m creating a deployment type for an application I’m working on and its not 
the main app install, it’s a small script compiled to an .exe (written by the 
vendor) that needs
 to be run beforehand. The script just deletes some file associations (which 
ones, I’m not clear on) and I’m trying to figure out what I can use for the 
detection method. As far as I can tell, it doesn’t create any files, it doesn’t 
create anything in Add/Remove,
 and without knowing which files associations it’s modifying, I have nothing to 
detect. I’ve reached out to the vendor so waiting on a response from them. 
Assuming they can’t help, any ideas? I thought about using a Powershell script 
to read from the event
 logs (Applocker execution events) to see if its been run. I also thought about 
wrapping it in a script that writes something to the registry which can be used 
for detection. Before I went down that road, figured I’d see if there were any 
other ideas.

 
Thanks!

The local windows Remote Desktop Users group has nothing to do with Remote

The user must be a member of a group specified in Client Settings for Remote

I'm getting more requests to allow folks that are in charge of specific 
applications to be able to remote in to end users' PCs to shadow them, and 
help troubleshoot issues.  Historically, we would add those folks to the group 
that has local admin rights on PCs in the organization, and they were then able 
to do this.  I'd really like to move away from that.  In testing, I added my 
test user to the Builtin\Remote Desktop Users group, thinking that would give 
them the permissions needed, then add them to the Remote Tools Operators group 
in SCCM.  I'm not having success with this.  What rights does someone need, to 
be able to use the Remote Control tool through SCCM?

That may be true – but even the ConfigMgr sessions that have been announced are 
99% level 300 or lower, so not much in depth.
 
And it’s February! – Ignite is in May and they still haven’t firmed up the 
sessions? I don’t think so..
 
If you’re planning to attend conferences as part of your training most folks 
need to know well in advance what’s on so that they can get authorization and

I think you are being a little swift with your assumptions.  The full session 
catalog has not been completed and Ignite has mentioned that they are going to 
be adding much more to the catalog
 including System Center stuff.  There are quite a few of us from the ConfigMgr 
community who will be attending the conference.

[mssms] USMT, Hardlinks, and multiple runs of TS

[Jeff Poling]

I am working with a task sequence specifically for a refresh scenario.  The TS 
uses USMT and hardlinks to capture user state data.  After a successful run of 
the task sequence, I am using usmtutils.exe to remove the state store with /rd 
/y.  That all seems to work well.
 
Now if I attempt to run the task sequence on the same machine again, the task 
sequence fails with the error:
 
The task sequence execution engine failed executing the action (Use Toolkit 
Package) in the group (Initialization) with the error code 2148077575

Has anyone seen this before and have a solution?
 
Any insight is greatly appreciated!

The app was named differently before. I deleted all deployments, renamed it, 
made some changes to the script in the deployment type, then deployed again to 
the same collection. Should I just nuke the app entirely and recreate it?

Have you validated the app is not deployed to another collection containing 
those systems?

I would hesitate to take the nuclear approach with your MP.

Subject: [mssms] Old application deployments still showing in Software Center

I’m experiencing the same issue as mentioned in the article below. I deleted a 
deployment a while back, but some computers still see it in Software Center. 
I’ve reinstalled the ConfigMgr client, deleted cache, updated machine policy, 
etc., still shows up. The systems will download the old (now non-existent) 
application files, even though I’ve completely redesigned the app and the files 
no longer are the same.



This article says to remove the MP role and re-add it. This seems a bit extreme 
to me, any other ideas?

[mssms] Move single primary site server

[Jeff Poling]

I am curious for the community's take on moving to a new site server.  What 
options are there? Is it best to stand up a new site/server/etc. and migrate? 
Or is restoring from backup to a server with the same name best?
 
I realize best is subjective. . .just looking for experiences and options.
 
Thanks,
 
Jeff

Do you remember how you include the port? I can't seem to find anywhere in the

I confirmed that configuring the source hierarchy is failing due to the CM07 
database server using an instance configured with a custom port.

 
Based on some research and community feedback, I tested connectivity using UDL 
(see
http://blogs.technet.com/b/michaelgriswold/archive/2014/01/06/the-easy-way-to-test-sql-connectivity.aspx).
 
If I specify the SQL Server instance with the port (like this, 
SERVER\INSTANCE,1542), the test succeeds without issue.  If I specify it 
without the port, like the migration tool does, it fails.
 
The migration tool tries the connection like this (note the data source does 
not include the port):
 
Connection string = Data Source=SERVER\INSTANCE;Initial 
Catalog=SMS_ABC;Integrated Security=True;Persist Security 
Info=False;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=True;Application
 Name=Migration Manager.


The SQL Browser service is running on the SQL server, so I thought that would 
allow clients to automatically determine the port?

 

Has anyone run into this before?

 

Thanks!

RE: [mssms] CM07 - CM12 Migration Error

[Jeff Poling]

A colleague helped me figure this out (I think). . .
 
I set up a SQL alias using c:\windows\system32\cliconfig.exe.  When configuring 
the alias you can specify the port number for SQL.
 
Doing that allowed the migration wizard to connect to the DB.  It then 
encountered another error related to the 2007 site that I am troubleshooting 
now.
 
Hopefully this helps anyone else who might encounter this (and I now feel kind 
of silly that I did not know about this before  )

From an elevated command prompt, run psexec -s -i command line
 
Another alternative is to run the following from an elevated command prompt:

This will open a command prompt as system and then you can run whatever

Subject: [mssms] RE: Deploy PowerShell script


 
Why are you calling it via sysnative? Does your script only work with 64-bit 
PowerShell? If you are going to do that, don’t try to control it via the 
script, let SCCM determine the proper architecture.

 
What happens when you run your script manually with psexec –s? This will 
emulate the SYSTEM account, just like deploying from SCCM.

Subject: [mssms] Deploy PowerShell script


 
We are running SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 with Windows 7 64bit clients.  I have a simple 
script that I am trying to deploy as a package/program.  The command line is:

 
%WINDIR%\Sysnative\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -executionpolicy 
Bypass -file .\Remove2010LNK.PS1 

 
If I manually run the script from within powershell, it works fine.  If I 
deploy it from SCCM, it says it runs successfully but I can tell it does not, 
and it also completes in seconds when it should take a couple minutes.  I’ve 
tried sending
 it out via a task sequence with the same result, it says it runs successfully 
but it isn’t.  The only odd thing I noted in the EXECMGR log is:
 
Running C:\Windows\sysnative\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe 
-executionpolicy Bypass -file .\Remove2010LNK.PS1 with 32bitLauncher
 
Should it still state “with 32bitlauncher” if I am telling it to use the 64bit 
one?
 
My last recourse may be to take the script lines and shove it into a CMD batch 
file, but I’d really like to figure out why this isn’t working.  Thanks.

Did you try using psexec -s -i?

Using that will simulate running in the system context as it would using the 
configmgr client.

I did prime the registry and have that part all taken care of.  If I run the 
command and or program manually from the workstation works like a dream.

The problem is it does not when deploying through SCCM.  I know it has to do 
with the user context it is running it under.  What I do not know is how to fix 
this.  I have tried everything that I can find online and nothing works.  Again 
the problem is when it is ran through SCCM.   I have tried running it as the 
user and that does not work, as the administrator and that does not work.

I am at a loss, maybe it’s not possible to run it from sccm?

Sherry is correct.  You have to make sure the registry is primed with your 
settings before this will work.

I wrote a brief article on this February 2005. There really isn’t much 
description there regarding how I did it, but attached to the article is a zip 
file that contains my SMS Installer script.  You can open that, preferably with 
SMS Installer and see the registry entries I set prior to running cleanmgr.

Also, if you use this Google query, you’l find a number of folks who have 
shared how to get this done.

, because way-back-when I recall having to do a sageset sagerun type of thing.  
I worked around the goofiness that was required with the sageset by figuring 
out the regkeys to set that corresponded to what I wanted, then the sagerun 
would know what to do.
That was in the way way back machine... SMS 2003.  so...first of all, I barely 
recalled I had used sagerun/sageset.  So don't ask me for how I did it!  That 
was a decade ago or something!

I have not done this, but according to the following article:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/253597?wa=wsignin1.0

 

You have to run the command with the /sageset:n option prior to running 
/sagerun:XX

 

Did you do that step?

 

Thanks,

Good afternoon All!  I need some Help or I’m going to be bald from pulling my 
hair out!  I am trying to run Cleanmgr.exe /sagerun:XX from within a program or 
a task sequence.  I have tried
 everything and it will not run.  Has anyone successfully done this or can you 
suggest how I do this?

try removing the cmd.exe and giving the full path to cleanmgr.exe. . . i.e, 
c:\windows\system32\cleanmgr.exe

Also, you can use psexec from Sysinternals to test.

psexec -s -i cmd.exe
Then run your script or command line in the resulting command window

Looking at the log, it shows that the program executes a VBscript:

Executing program cscript.exe clean.vbs in User context

Is the VBscript executing cleanmgr.exe?

Have you tried just a batch script to run cleanmgr.exe with the desired 
parameters?  Simplicity is better - eliminate as many variables as possible to 
troubleshoot it.

[mssms] Download of MDT package slow

[Jeff Poling]

In a ConfigMgr 2012 R2 CU3 site with a GigE network, the MDT package download 
takes 5+ minutes.  HTTPS is enabled on the DP, MP, etc.  Has anyone seen this 
before? If I view the smsts log, the client validates the certificate before 
downloading every file in the package.  Is that expected behavior?

[mssms] Importing Computers, Limiting Collections, and RBAC

[Jeff Poling]

For a PC replacement scenario, we are manually importing the new PC into 
ConfigMgr by MAC address.  Unfortunately, in this environment, the PC team does 
not have access to All Systems.  So, we have a collection for the new PCs to 
which a task sequence is deployed for imaging and restoring user state.  The 
imported PCs only show in that collection if it is limited to All Systems.  But 
if we limit it to All Systems, then the PC team cannot add members to the 
collection. . .seems like a catch 22. . .has anyone encountered a scenario like 
this?
 
I did find the following article:

 but even using those steps, the imported PC does not show up in the collection 
when added.
 
Any insights or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

You could create a collection with all systems that have no client installed 
and give them access to it. They will have to wait a few minutes after 
importing to add the computer to your imaging collection, but they would 
eventually be able to do it.

there is also some odd behavior around the available times. sometimes it

GO set the available time back by 24 hours.
Generally speaking they should show up in just a few minutes.

Here is some SQL you can run to see what would be returned to a specific
user if they went to the catalog


Select User_Name0,SID0 from V_R_User

 I have seen that before, assuming you've validated that your account is
 actually in the collection it is deployed to. :)  I've waited for hours for
 one to show up only to finally give up and go home and then it was there in
 the morning.  Sometimes it seems like you just have to go out an recreate
 the application.  You can try running 'exec usp_BuildCatalogPropertyTable'
 from SQL  If there is an DB issue rebuildling the catalog that will let you
 see it.  But I think under heavy load it can just take a while.

Yes, those are checked.
 
I checked that folder location…good tip.  I’m only seeing two boot images.  
Both are x86 ones.  One is a 6.2 version, and another the 6.3 version that came 
into
 place after the 2012R2 upgrade.  I take it I should be seeing the x64 and I’m 
not.  Not sure why.

Has anyone seen that show up in the SMSPXE log before?  I’m in a situation 
where I can’t PXE boot.  Even though both the x86 and the x64 boot images are 
checked off for PXE deployment, I still
 get a failure.  Even more strange, I can create a bootable USB drive and it is 
boots the task sequence selection just fine.
 
This actually all started because I was getting a winload.efi error, perfectly 
screenshot  by Niall here:
 
http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/11135-why-do-i-get-a-winloadefi-status-0xc359-error-when-using-uefi-network-boot-in-system-center-2012-r2-configuration-manager
 
The only difference is I indeed had both x86 and x64 checked off.  As a test, I 
unchecked the x86, tried to PXE, it failed due to the requirement both x86 and 
x64 be available, and then rechecked
 the x86 image availability again, and then now I’m getting this.  I’m tired 
updating the distribution points on both images, but I’m still stuck with 
nothing to boot.
 
Any ideas?

The PowerShell cmdlet Set-CMClientPushInstallation can be used to enable

I looked, and yes the package is set to copy to the package share.  It is a 
very small package, maybe 1Mb or less and all the clients are on a well 
connected
 LAN.  I only have 55 clients on the SCCM 2012 server so there is no resource 
contention.  I can see that there is some kind of pause between when the client 
starts the program for execution and when it actually kicks off, but I can’t 
figure out what logs are
 relevant to figuring out what is happening for those 20 minutes.
 
It worked better on subsequent nights – so that points to it being a caching 
issue, but the advert is set to run from the DP so I don’t get it.
 
 
 
It is an autoit script that checks to see if the computer needs to reboot due 
to pending file renames or if the CCM SU status is pending reboot and then 
notifies
 the user via a countdown that the computer is going to reboot unless someone 
hits cancel.  If the timer reaches zero, then it reboots.  If it is canceled, 
it just exits without rebooting.  There is a collection of machines that are in 
reboot pending mode that
 is based off a DCM baseline for pending reboot, so if the DCM doesn’t clear 
the machine from the pending reboot status, the machines stays in the 
collection and reboots the next day.
 
The collection is set to run the reboot computer process every day at 3:00AM.  
This lets us reboot computer in off hours, and lets the users here postpone the
 reboot if they are using the computer. I know it sounds like overkill, but I 
work for a large hospital and need to make sure the computer is not in use 
before rebooting it.

[mssms] PS App Deployment Kit and MSI Source

[Jeff Poling]

I am using the PowerShell Application Deployment Toolkit to wrap an install 
that does the following:
 
*  Uninstalls a supporting application
*  Installs the primary application
*  Installs the supporting application again
 
Once installed, I would like for both applications to be able to be repaired 
from Programs and Features.  Since there are multiple MSIs involved and my 
ConfigMgr application is actually the App Deployment Toolkit executable, I 
can't see a way to use Windows Installer source management.  Is there another 
way to prevent the MSIs from using the ConfigMgr cache location as the source 
for repair/modify of the apps?
 
Hopefully that explanation makes sense 

here's one 
way.http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/rzander/archive/2008/08/11/sms-sccm-commandline.aspx
grab the line for full hinv at next scheduled time. using whatever you want, a 
task sequence with one cmd line, or package/program, send that out to 
collections, probably collection(s) where lastworkstationstatus.lastscan is 
older than some date.
you could then (if you want) follow that up with a custom client agent setting 
of hinv every 4 hours. if you have the collections do a update every 3 hours… 
as those boxes report successfully, they'll fall out of the collection, and no 
longer deserve either the advert nor the hinv every 4 hours.  
I see this cleaned up overnight if those boxes are online and your servers can 
handle the full hinv coming in.  if you're concerned about that, split it up 
into diff collections til it cleans up most of the way.

Subject: [mssms] Hardware Inventory Issues


 

I am having an issue with hardware inventory in ConfigMgr 2012 at a customer.  
Numerous machines are not getting good HW inventory and have MIF files that get 
placed in the BADMIFS directories. 
 The site was recently upgraded to SP1 and from there to R2 CU3.  The ivnentory 
issue existed prior to the SP1 to R2 upgrade.

 

I see numerous dataldr warnings and errors:

 

Inventory Data Loader failed to process the delta MIF file XHLI3TFB3.MIF and 
has moved it to D:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration 
Manager\inboxes\auth\dataldr.box\BADMIFS\Outdated\dru1e5aq.MIF.

Possible cause: The file attempted to update inventory information in the site 
database that does not already exist, or the file contains invalid syntax.

 

Inventory Data Loader failed to process the file D:\Program Files\Microsoft 
Configuration Manager\inboxes\auth\dataldr.box\Process\HRHNGT8D.MIF because it 
is larger than the defined maximum allowable size of 500.

 

I know I can increase the maximum allowed size of the MIFs, but I do not 
understand why they are so large.  THe customer did have the AI class for 
InstalledExecutable enabled, but we turned that off since no one knew why it 
was enabled.

 

Also, as a possible side effect of this, the data in the SMS_G_System_SYSTEM 
class does not seem to be correct.

 

Is there a good way to determine the root cause of the various HW inventory 
failures?

 

Thanks,

 

Jeff

 

 

 

 


 










  

  

RE: [mssms] Question - how can I prevent Sccm from install the client on a specific drive?

[Jeff Poling]

That is correct - just remember that any time the client needs updated 
(cumulative updates, major product releases) you will need to take the Deep 
Freeze machines into account.  The client updates will need to be installed 
during a time when the machines are thawed.

happen during a thawed window, you have no problems with the client on C:?  You 
didn't do anything else to make it work?

This is how we do it. We also match the maintenance windows in Deep Freeze with 
the maintenance windows in SCCM. Every night, Deep Freeze thaws the computers 
automatically, the SCCM maintenance window opens and SCCM does its work, the 
SCCM maintenance window closes, and Deep Freeze freezes the computers again.



It works well.

Does no_sms_on_drive.sms work for the client itself?  It hasn't in my
limited testing.  I need to prevent the client from installing on drive c
on a subset of client machines.  I install the client to a 2nd partition
using a batch file and arguments of ccmsetup.exe, but if those clients
become stale, they are rediscovered and the client tries to install on C.
This is a bad thing, because the C drive is locked by software that
prevents modification except when unlocked by an administrator.  The
software is called DeepFreeze by Faronics.  Anyway,  this is why I want to
prevent this from happening.  Any ideas, anyone?

I have not tested it with Quicken, and so am only providing a potential

Unfortunately, no. Been doing manual installs until someone figures it out and 
posts it on the web. In previous years, I could use this method -
http://virtualapppack.com/?p=5 – and after going through all those steps, oddly 
enough the install “completes” but it only installs the secondary components 
(Database Server Manager, File Manager, etc) and it never
 installs the program itself. I’ve yet to reach out to Intuit because I know 
their answer already but I may do it just to communicate how absurd it is that 
they don’t support unattended installs. If you have any luck making it work, 
please let me know. I’ll
 do the same.

RE: [mssms]Kernel Mode Driver Framework

I looked a little deeper at what I did - it works successfully.  I have the 
steps to inject the KMDF directly after the Apply Operating System Step and 
prior to installation of any other driver packages.
 
It's working successfully at the one client where I implemented it.  As others 
have said, it's likely easiest to use DISM to update your WIM; however, I was 
not in a position to do that at the time I implemented this.
 
So, try moving your KMDF steps to just after the OS gets applied and see if 
that helps.

I tried Dustin’s method as well, because of new models that needed the KMDF and 
we were not ready to rebuild our base image.

 
We could never get it to work, when the machine would run through windows setup 
the update would install and then windows setup would bomb because this update 
was needed.

 
If I rebooted the machine and looked at the image from WinPE, DISM showed the 
update as ‘Install Pending’.

 
We ended up rebuilding our image.

It might be related to drivers in your boot image.  Can you:

RE: [mssms] Cleaning up IIS logs

[Jeff Poling]

I implement a power shell script to clean up the IIS logs.  Like you, I've not 
used them; however, they can be handy for troubleshooting DP issues when 
certain file types get blocked.

Subject: [mssms] Cleaning up IIS logs

My site server is filling up with IIS logs and I've come across an article 
stating there are two options for dealing with this: implement a script which 
maintains 7 days worth of IIS logs and deletes the rest, or, simply disable IIS 
logging. Just wanted to run these options by everyone to see what others are 
doing. Personally I've never accessed the IIS logs so I'm inclined to just 
disable logging (unless there's an important reason not to).

Re: [mssms] Security Updates not showing up in Software Center

[Jeff Poling]

Was the deployment done manually or with an automatic deployment rule?
Either way, I believe that you can sepcify how the deployment interacts
with software center.  I am not in an environment today that has a SUP or I
would check and confirm the exact options. . .

 Looking for ideas.

 I have a Windows 7 client that I'm trying to deploy updates to. The client
 hasn't been patched since May. For some reason I cannot get updates that
 are made available to show up in Software Center. I have reviewed the
 PolicyEvaluator.log file and cannot find the corresponding Deployment ID,
 so I'm thinking the client isn't getting policies. However, if I deploy an
 application/package to the machine, It will show up in software center.

 WUAHandler.log file indicates the following, Received
 SuccededWithErrors code from WUA during search. Check WindowsUpdate.log
 in Windows Directory.  I don't see any errors in the WindowsUpdate.log file.

 BTW - this is the first time I've worked on getting updates implemented in
 my environment. Looking for some ideas on what I can investigate to look
 into this further.

 Thanks,

 Brian

Re: [mssms] what's the deal with the configuration manager client package?

[Jeff Poling]

This thread has taken a winding road. . .Ryan, have you made any progress
on resolving the challenge? If not, have you looked at the logs and does
anything stand out in them? Perhaps that is where you are seeing the
initial error, but smsts.log would be the first place to look.  If you are
PXE booting to WinPE, you can get to a command prompt with F8 (if that is
enabled on your boot image) and then look at smsts.log in
X:\Windows\Temp\SMSTSLog.  It will give you an idea of where the system is
trying to go for content.

The other thing you mentioned is that this is a migration from 2007.  Are
all migration jobs complete successfully and everything you expect
migrated?  I guess also, is the client in question looking at the correct
site?


Thanks,

Jeff

 It is a built in package,

 SCCM controls it. Have to hack the DB to refresh it

 that's a package problem (in wmi) on whatever dp it's referring to, i
 would revalidate the package on that dp or use smsdpmon to validate it, if
 that doesn't help, remove the package from the dp, and then re-add it

   Hi - I don't think it's necessary to create another client package from

 The Configuration Manager Client Upgrade package is also pre-defined, and
 can be deployed to systems to upgrade them from say SP1 to R2, for example,
 and where applicable.



 As for the OSD task sequence indicating that it can't find the client
 package, have you tried to update the content on the distribution points?
 This might also be helpful, if you run into not being able to distribute
 the client package:

 Hi:

 So we’re getting errors in our OSD task sequences saying the task
 sequence can’t find the files needed for the Configuration Manager Client
 Package.  We do have such a package available, it appears to have been
 created when SCCM was set up but I really can’t change any of the options
 for this package.  In doing some web research I’m finding this is by design
 for some reason, and you’re supposed to create a new Configuration Manager
 client package from definition.  So I guess two questions.  First, what’s
 the point of the Configuration Manager Client Package in the first place if
 you can’t do anything with it, and if you’re supposed to create a new
 Configuration Manager Client Package from definition how is that done?  I
 have definitions for Device Management Client Transfer and Configuration
 Manager Client Upgrade.  Should I use the Configuration Manager Client
 Upgrade definition?

 Thanks a lot for any help, finding this very confusing.

 Ryan
