some updates take time to appear in the console and some wont appear at all based on your selection criteria for the software update component Classifications and Products choices

The Configuration Manager documentation library (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680651.aspx) has been updated on the Web and the latest content on the Web has Updated: March 1, 2010 at the top of the topic. This month's updates incorporate customer feedback and What's New in the Configuration Manager Documentation Library for March 2010, which lists all the topics that are new or contain significant technical changes since October 2009. Look out for an announcement to download this with the Configuration Manager 2007 Help File Update Wizard, so that you can run the help file, SMSv4.chm, locally. In addition to the summary of changes, we've also made some revisions based on customer feedback. In particular, we've focused on topics relating to the client - from discovery, to client installation (especially client push) and requirements for clients in another forest, and Windows Embedded devices. We do value customer feedback and try to incorporate it when possible. Although we can't promise to make the docs perfect for everybody, we are committed to continual improvement. So, keep that feedback coming, and feel free to contact us about anything related to the documentation by using our usual address of SMSDocs@Microsoft.com.

for Active Directory guides you can ask members here like Jamitupya, wmmayms or Jaoibh for Exchange 2007 guides ask ITPeder to post some here, all these guys are members here and just need some encouragement to post these, good luck

can you give me an example of how you used it and what are the benefits ?

the ports on the sup should be whatever you set wsus to during the wsus installation, your clients will not get any windows updates from your sup until they have the ConfigMgr client installed and working properly with the SUP agent enabled

get rid of any wsus GPO's they will be handled by the SCCM site server hosting SUP, open the required ports for SCCM traffic or things will not work, the clients need to talk to the server and vice versa follow these posts to identify what to open. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb632618.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb694088.aspx

are you checking on the client ?

ok then can you tell us how you built the image and the task sequence because something is wrong with it

i'd suggest a Side by side upgrade as detailed by Kent here don't reuse site codes ever, it will cause you problems cheers niall

please attach log files as actual files next time, it makes it much easier to read the post.... ok Could not delete the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\OSDGINA.DLL. Error code 5 OSDSetupHook 23/03/2010 17.01.52 1600 (0x0640) are you using any novell client on this image ?

regarding your first point see this post > http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/788-updates-are-not-being-installed-automatically/ the windows updates folder will contain the updates, you can have sub-folders in there for the deployment packages eg: xp updates 7 updates server 2008 updates and so on

I would create a separate task sequence for x64 and x32, it keeps it cleaner and much easier to troubleshoot cheers niall

maybe you need to load the correct NIC/network drivers ? can you post the entire smsts.log file from a failing system

you need to decide what they need access to then create new user rights in the sccm console, then either customise the console views for those users (or groups of users) or give them full view of the console but limited access... check this post by Kim http://blogcastrepository.com/blogs/kim_oppalfenss_systems_management_ideas/archive/2007/09/30/customize-sccm-2007-admin-console.aspx

you cant use offline mode for XP to XP, it's not supported, this is designed for XP to windows 7 cheers niall

tried restarting the wds service ? is wds and mdt and dhcp on the same server ?

you need to add the windows 7 nic drivers to your boot images assuming its sccm 2007 sp2, otherwise its windows vista nic drivers and....... is your account a local administrator on that server ?

nice find, thanks for sharing cheers niall

Here's another great MED-V video for you, this one titled Publishing Different Applications to Different Users of the Same MED-V Image. This video demonstration will show you how to use a common MED-V image to serve multiple users or groups while presenting different applications.
