did you create a new ConfigMgr client package from definition after installing SP2 ?

you could script it, as i said before

what size is the file ?

here's more info about setting the variables

to continue on what Peter said, any package can have a program (or programs, or even none at all) when it comes to advertising a package you get the choice of what program to run, so you could create a separate advertisement for the same package which uses a different program, and the different program is simply the silent install with the relevant uninstall switches if you look at this screenshot you can imagine a new advertisement and the drop down menu for Program could contain your newly created Uninstall program for Firefox appdeploy.com gives a lot of good info on installation/uninstallation switches for apps please give it a try and post your results of same here so that others can benefit cheers niall

wow loads of questions and i'll try and answer some... I would keep os patches in separate packages that way if you someday have to troubleshoot patches back to the originating level it'll be easier to work with, and there are other reasons, but yes, you can keep all os patches together in one big package. yes it can and yes it will just like windows update nope, unless you uninstall the update and its required.. you have to physically delete it, but you can automate it with scripts, if you find one that works for you please share it here, but for a starting point look at this

you could just delete the advertisement and recreate it, that would be the easiest thing for you

could be network driver or HAL related, easiest thing is to update the nic drivers and see

It's October 22 today. A completely random date in the grand scheme of things (we Dutch lost a big naval battle to the Ming dynasty on October 22 1633), but it also happens to be the release date of the newest version of Windows - Windows 7. Since Windows is still the most popular desktop operating system out there, this is pretty big news. The problem, of course, with releases like Windows 7 is that the new operating system has already been torn apart and examined in great detail over the past 10-12 months, so there's little in there that will surprise anyone who has't been living under a digital rock the past year or so. I could list the new features and improvements, but you probably already know everything there is to know. read the whole article here > http://www.osnews.com/story/22378/Windows_7_Hits_the_Shelves

check this out, absolutely genius ! My link

are the images XP ?

finally the moment we have been waiting for, SCCM 2007 Sp2 is out now Get it > http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=3318741a-c038-4ab1-852a-e9c13f8a8140

it doesn't work that way, however you can use the unknown computers collection in R2 to deal with your problem

have you seen this yet ?

yeah but he's running in mixed more, so no need for a PKI structure.. on my sccm lab (mixed) it also has no boot media certificate i tested creating a Capture task sequence and it worked just fine, perhaps his pxe certificate date is expired ?

this should give you some ideas... http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/506-how-can-i-prestage-a-computer-for-wds/

yes it will based on discovery settings and on whether you update the Collection Membership and refresh.

check if the duplicate machine is listed as Obsolete=Yes, if so you can delete it

do as Peter suggests, get your boundaries setup correctly if not your clients will not be manageable..
