We have a large environment with 1 CAS, 4 Primaries, 16 MP's and over 700 DP's.  We build our DP's in a build centre and then ship them to site to alleviate the WAN bandwith of building a DP across the WAN. Say we have buit several DP's a while ago. These have been switched off in shipping and can be for months at a time. In this time when they were off we have upgraded our environment from SCCM 2012 to SCCM 1702. We the have brought our DP's online a few months after the upgrade and n

I am currently working on creating an application to force restarts based off the scripts here (https://mickitblog.blogspot.com/2016/02/laptop-mandatory-reboot-management.html).  The issue I am running into is that I have updated the Default Settings policy so the "Computer Restart" tab is set to the following "Display a temporary notification to the user" = 240 and "Display a dialog box that the user cannot close" = 120. When the app runs and requests an reboot I get the notification for 9

We replaced our WSUS server and used SCCM Software Update point instead . All updates are working fine except for update history on clients on Windows 7 clients update history completely appear but it appears in machine system locale "Arabic" which is weird because we choose only English in all updates in Software update point language settings and this behavior wasn't occurring with WSUS server before converting to use SCCM SUP.Windows 10 clients update history doesn't completely appear or some

HI Everyone I'm testing a new deployment of Windows 10 1803, everything works fine, except when I first logon, i get the 'Preparing Windows' screen it looks to be attempting to log in then, without warning we are back to the login screen. Try again and I get logged in straight away. I have updated the Unattend XML with the following OOBE settings, as I was trying to get rid of the ever helpful cortana - lets get connected etc.           <OOBE>                 <HideEULAP

Hi all,   I have an unusual problem in that my employer is purchasing old Supermicro blade servers. They don't support SAS and as such I'm using large SATA drives and I'm pretty sure these are BIOS only as I didn't see anything in BIOS setup that looked like I could enable a UEFI boot mode (they are over 7 years old and cheap.) Currently, I've run down to 3TB and above and my 2016 installations are failing as SCCM is forcing initialization to GPT to use the 3TB capacity.  I need these

I've been at this for a couple weeks and haven't had any lucky resolving it myself. I'm around ready to give up and rebuild or primary site. SCCM Ver: CB1802 Our old WSUS server was 2012R2 running WID and we wanted to move it to 2016 and SQL. I removed the SUP role, removed the server from SCCM, then decomed the server. I rebuilt the WSUS server on 2016, connected to SQL DB, installed SUP role, and synced WSUS. In SCCM everything appears to be functioning normally, I can see updates, m

Hi everybody, First of all, thank you so much for all the information available on this site in order to understand and master on the SCCM adventure. We have a new request because our partner has their primary site in AWS and they don't want to replicate all software updates from AWS to their local DP every single month. We would like to know how we could setup their environment in order to download all software updates from Microsoft Update directly to their DP. How could this be done

Hi everyone, it's so nice to meet you all! I have run into some problems on a Win 10 OSD Task Sequences recently and am wondering whether I could get some advises. Here's the background for our environment, we have SCCM 1710 installed on a primary server with a DP and I have been having success deploying Win 10 version 1709 through Task Sequences until now. Lately my colleague reported the TS stopped working and returned a generic error 0x80004005 when it was trying to install an applicatio
