Hi, A maintenance window is not related to the deployment itself it will affect allt advertisements on all clients in that Collection. So if you advertise Lync to a computer with a maintenance window the client will use that when executing the Lync advertisment to. Regards, Jörgen

Hi, Keep in mind that this will affect all advertisements to the computers and not only the IE advertisement. Regards, Jörgen

Hi, I would change the Automatic Approval setting to Automatically approve all, in many scenarios it really doesn't matter if you approve all computers or if you only approve the ones in a trusted domain. Regards, Jörgen

Hi, You cannot use a range of values or wildcards as a condition, so you would have to script it or use for instance MDT where there is a feature that you can use to identify which network a client is on based on default gateway. Regards, Jörgen

Hi, It could be many things, client problems, boundary issues, and so on. I would start by looking at a couple of the computers that are not reporting and check that the client can communicate with the MP, check the locationservices.log file on the client as well. Here are some good tips as well: http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2009/08/10/troubleshooting-issues-where-clients-are-not-reporting.aspx Regards, Jörgen

Hi, the error code translates to " The application was not detected after installation completed. Source: System Center Configuration Manager ----- " Which would indicate that the installation is unsuccesful or your detection method is wrong. For the installation error is it the same for MSI? Regards, Jörgen

Hi, On the client, do the Secondary site work as it should? no errors in the Component status either on the Primary Site server or the Secondary site server? Regards, Jörgen

Hi, Are there anything recorded in the execmgr.log file? Regards, Jörgen

Hi, " not shifted to the correct OU." does that mean that the computer account already existed? The domain join phase will not move any existing computer objects, you need to script that yourself, with something like this: http://ccmexec.com/2010/12/move-computer-to-the-correct-ou-during-deployment/ Regards, Jörgen

Hi, Yes you can deploy Windows 7 on UEFI computer using SCCM 2012 sp1 as long as the computer model has drivers and support for Windows 7 in UEFI, whihc is no the case for instance for the Latitude 10 or HP elitepad 900. Basically the difference is in the Disk partitioning step, Nialls guide is still valid for Windows 7 as well http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/6250-how-can-i-deploy-windows-8-in-uefi-mode-using-configuration-manager-2012/ Regards, Jörgen

Hi, Could it be that you have the SCCM 2007 client installed or have been installed on the server Before installing sccm 2012? http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2013/03/02/ccmexec_global-mof-fails-to-compile-during-configmgr-2012-sp1-management-point-installationfix-number-2/ Regards, Jörgen

Hi, You should be fine with "Data reader" permissions, probably easier to get.. Regards, Jörgen

Hi, I haven't seen one either, here is one though but it covers the Sp1 Beta installation on Server 2012 and SQL server 2012. The CU levels have changed since this guide was written but otherwise it should be ok. http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2012/09/16/install-guide-configmgr-2012-sp1-beta-server-2012-sql-2012-cu-3/ Regards, Jörgen

Hi, You could do just as in my example here: http://ccmexec.com/2010/11/planning-an-upgrade-of-an-application/ there is a Query for an exclusion list. Regards, Jörgen

Hi, Here is a post from Intel on how to pull that information, http://communities.intel.com/community/vproexpert/blog/2011/12/09/identifying-vpro-clients-and-their-amt-status-in-sccm What is really a pre-req is that the AMT driver is loaded on the client otherwise the WMI class does not exist. Regards, Jörgen

Uninstalling WAIk and Installing the ADK and recreate the images should do the trick.. http://blogs.technet.com/b/systemcenterpfe/archive/2013/01/11/updated-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-antivirus-exclusions-with-more-details.aspx Regards, Jörgen

Hi, Basically Update lists are used to make deployment easier of course but, reporting is the main reason I would say. I normally wrap them up during the end of the year and create one for 2012 updates for instance. But it depends on which level you are required/need to be able to produce reports. Regards, Jörgen

Hi, You need to make sure the installation runs silently, so in this case a prompt from the install.exe for instance displays a dialog and the dialog is displayed in system context so you will not see it. If you enable the setting "Allow user to interact with the program" you will be able to see the installation dialog on the client computer and actually run through the wizard. But to install it silently you need to make sure that the installation runs silently, so run install.exe /? and see if you get any help or try Install.exe -s for instance. SCCM only executes the command you tell it to, so if you want the installation to be silent you must provide the command line to install it silently. Regards, Jörgen

Hi, It is documented on Technet in the Troubleshooting Power Management section: If a computer is a member of multiple collections, each applying different power plans, the following actions are taken: Power plan: If multiple values for power settings are applied to a computer, the least restrictive value is used. Wakeup time: If multiple wakeup times are applied to a desktop computer, the time closest to midnight is used http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff977096.aspx Regards, Jörgen

Hi, In the new application Model in Configuration Manager 2012 you actually don't have the option to "run it from the DP" anymore. I would say that it depends totally on what you are deploying when you use a package/program. In many scenarios it is really nice to download it Before to save the network bandwidth, and in some cases where you for instance deploy a task sequence to deploy a office service pack you are benefited from using run directly if possible becuase then you could for instance not download all languages that you don't need on the platform. For a small script I would probably run it from the DP. Regards, Jörgen

Hi, Where in the Task Sequence are you running this command? The error you get is indicating that you run it Before the "Setup Windows and Configuration Manager" step and then you are still in WinPE and the step will not be run against the newly installed Windows OS but the WinPE. Could this be the case? Regards, Jörgen

Hi, It is not possible to add a "second" remoteinstall share, and it is not possible to use a n UNC, what you can do is as you described above. Unitilizae the WDS and then run the Configuration wizard again and add the new path there. Regards, JÖrgen

Hi, Here is great post on how to reinstall the WDS and PXE Point succesfully. http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2011/01/05/troubleshooting-the-pxe-service-point-and-wds-in-configuration-manager-2007.aspx Regards, Jörgen

HI, The SCCM 2007 OSD deployment will overwrite the Changes you make in the unattend.xml file so you should really use the Apply Network settings step. Regards, Jörgen

Hi, I would either go for a MDT solution or use Configuration Manager 2012 to deploy the server as well. For SCCM 2012 there are great guides to get started at this very site. Regards, Jörgen
