[mssms] High network utilisation on site server

2015-01-26 Thread Corkill, Daniel
This afternoon I've deployed the January updates to ~1400 systems and for about half an hour the site server was completely unreachable - not responding to pings, reports not working, admin console unresponsive, unable to RDP. When I log on to the console I can see that the network utilisation i

I'm certainly not a SQL expert, so others can correct me, but the main point is being able to read and write data in parallel and thus make that data available in parallel to the processors. Parallel processing comes from the processor and splitting tasks among multiple file can thus be benefici

Thanks for the explanations Phil. Really appreciate it! It does raise other questions: QUESTION #1 I attempted to use the HashiBashi tool, copying the URL path right out of the event log e.g. http://CMSERVER.DOMAIN:80/SMS_DP_SMSPKG$/Content_a33c2e1c-c1a8-4fe3-8f6c-cadd57a07570.1/sccm?/uninstall.

For flashplayer, I usually just keep current and -1 around; and I expire the older ones. For anything else, unfortunately you'll have to do trial and error. For some updates (like adobe reader) there have been times when you could go straight from version x.1 straight to x.latest; and other ti

I believe Adobe Flash CABs get expired automatically in their catalog you will just need to import the latest CABs when you get notified there's been update to their catalog in the "Recent Alerts" section. You will then probably want to publish the expired updates to WSUS so clients don't poten

I was on the impression that multiple files allows SQL to process in parallel, so not better because of different volumes but better for multiprocessing. Not? I plan to do some IOPS measuring, but in general I would have gone with all of SQL on one volume for that size. That was a yes, right?

Just an update on this issue - Someone suggested that I just leave the Trusted Root CA setting in SCCM blank, and that this would allow clients with either age of certificate to register properly. Sure enough, that worked. Apparently this setting is optional, and setting it restricts which CA's a

No, not for 1,500 different clients. Also, LUNs are meaningless. LUNs are simply logical separation of disk space and have nothing to do with perf. If you were going to do this, you would need to ensure that you split the files onto separate physical disks otherwise the perf gains are negligible

A single primary would run on Hyper-V guest and also has the WSUS and MDT DB. Would you bother to split the different parts of the CM DB to different volumes, if that serves max 1500 clients and if we have a rather good SAN? Given that we would use different LUNs, but should I bother at all fo
