  2. Creating a New Win7 boot wim for SCCM 2012 SP1

    in Configuration Manager 2012

    Posted

    It's funny you ask in that way, lol. I used pretty much the same sentence when I emailed the support agent back myself. In essence yes they have and another TechNet user received the same response on a similar opened ticket. I am using the following thread on TechNet forums as the current forum for discussing this issue and possible solutions:

     

    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmanagerosd/thread/8faa337b-a648-49b4-8431-49c022b96e04

     

    i'll try to update this thread as information comes to me as well. If you read the post by adflet999 , he mentions a possible hack that involves ripping SCCM 2012 SP1 info using DISM from WinPE 4.0 boot images and integrating these components back into a 3.1 image to in essence trick SCCM into thinking the 3.1 image is in fact a 4.0 image. A novel idea and hopefully something comes of it as we are struggling with this one ourselves

     

    Regarding the response from my support rep...they have essentially responded word for word as they did to adflet999 and have refunded us for the support call as this was a design change and there is no official workaround, nor plans to release one in the near future.

     

    Thanks

  4. Deploy Office 2013 SP1 SCCM

    in Deploy software, applications and drivers

    Posted

    The way I do it:

     

    1: Copy the source fes for offi e 2013 to the source folder mine is \\server\source\software\office2013

     

    2: run setup.exe /a you should be able to create an msp and place in the updates folder of you office source, make sure it is the first in the list alphabetically, I achieve this by puttin a # symbol at the start of my file name, alternatively there is a switch toucan use to specify the path to the msp file

     

    3: create an office package / application referencing setup.exe /s as your command line

     

    4: advertise it to a device / user

  5. Creating USB Boot Media Problem

    in Deploy 7

    Posted

    Why is your wim so big? Create a base image fully updated with windows patches and then install your packages / applications via software install tasks, that way the wim size limitation won't be an issue and all of the other packages will be included later when cretin the boot media

  7. SCCM 25k-50k client environment running entirely virtual

    in Configuration Manager 2007

    I would consider hosting sccm ad SQL on seperate vms, in fact I would highly recommend it. You will more than likely suffer a performance bottleneck otherwise.

     

    Regarding your io performance, this has not historically been an issue for us, typically CPU allocation has caused is our performer problems if any. Are you planning I deploy distribution points? Do you have multiple sites seperate a hy slow links?

  10. Trouble redeploying an Image

    in Deploy 7

    Posted

    your very welcome, cmtrace and trace32 will be your friends, if you open .log files with either it will highlight errors in red and makes troubleshooting a breeze, from that point its just knowing which log files to check, 9 time out of 10 Task sequence troubleshooting can be narrowed down by checking smsts.log

  11. Trouble redeploying an Image

    Further I would add that the Driver packages that you added were probably not distributed correctly to your distribution points as that is all that you changed in the TS between it working and not working, I assume one or both of the driver packs are what the TS is failing to find as referenced by:

     

    Failed to find CCM_SoftwareDistribution object for AdvertID="P0120080", PackageID="P0100037", ProgramID="*"

  12. Trouble redeploying an Image

    in Deploy 7

    Posted

    These are your two problem lines as highlighted by CMtrace / Trace32:

     

    It looks like the TS cant find the following package ID that it references

     

    Failed to find CCM_SoftwareDistribution object for AdvertID="P0120080", PackageID="P0100037", ProgramID="*"

     

    Subsequently if a TS dependancy cant be found it will reboot the TS immediately as stated by the following:

     

    Failed to resolve selected task sequence dependencies. Code(0x80040104)

     

    Thanks

  14. Custom Reports fail to run

    in How do I ?

    Posted

    Not sure what to tell you, I run custom reports in my environment and they work fine...

     

    To say life's to short to waste it on Microsoft's products is part of the reason why they may in your view be so dodgy, Microsoft relies heavily on community feedback when developing their lines. While I agree that they very often have shortcomings, and trust me I have had my fair share of glitches, I wouldn't classify them as dodgy, lol.

     

    From my point of view I find their documentation to be extremely useful, I have also found it evolves constantly, in my view for the better, It was TechNet and WindowsNoob that took me from knowing nothing about SCCM to what I know now, TechNet formed the framework, WindowsNoob filled in the holes. I try as best I can to offer my input from real world experiences to give back to the community

     

    If you want to see dodgy companies I invite you to look at Intuit, and Sage, both seem to be in a competition to see who can make life hell for Administrators trying to deploy their applications in network environments. They blatantly package their applications to make them impossible to run silently...

     

    I thrive on making dodgy products work for me, so maybe that's where our personalities differ.

     

    If you decide to give it another shot i'd be happy to try and help you work out your problem further in whatever way I can
