Hi Garth, the hardware inventory is set on a simple schedule. I'll make the changes recommended in your article and see if that helps. Thanks for your suggestions.

Hardware is scheduled to run weekly. I use this report to locate PCs that a user has logged on to. It's come in very handy in the past, and when I realized that a huge number of my users aren't listed to run the report against it made me start to question where this was all breaking down.

Thank you for getting back to me, I really appreciate your insight. What I'm really struggling with is that there are at least 20000 users that aren't represented in this report. I figured it had to do with my discovery data but as I mentioned before, all my users show up correctly in my "All Users" collection. At some point I'm sure the HW inventory ran with one of these 20000 users logged on. I'm just stumped as to where I need to look next. Thanks again for taking the time.

Thanks Garth, fair enough. Do you have any ideas as to why my canned report for "computers for a specific user name" wouldn't have any data on a large portion of my users?

Hi Garth, thanks for your reply. Here is the query I found online. SELECT SMS_R_System.LastLogonUserName, SMS_R_System.Name, SMS_R_System.LastLogonUserDomain, SMS_R_System.LastLogonTimestamp FROM SMS_R_System WHERE SMS_R_System.LastLogonUserName = ##PRM:SMS_R_System.LastLogonUserName##

Hi there, I've run into an issue with the canned report for "computers for a specific user name". When I run the report I can only see a partial list of the users in my organization. I thought it was related to my discovery configuration but my generic "All Users" collection is a complete list of all my users. I created a query manually using info I found online and it gives the same kind of results. The query returns results on some users but not all. This leads me to believe that SCCM hasn't got this data stored in it's database, but it has got the users discovered as displayed in my "All Users" collection. My question is, can anyone point me in the direction of getting all my user data available to query? I have no idea why it's only partially working. Thank you for your assistance, and for running a great forum.

No I have not applied this fix. When I first read about it I didn't think it really applied in this case but after reading the description it just might. I'm hesitant only because I have 40 other servers as distribution points all configured the same and I have never run across this issue. Clearly I botched something in this servers config but I'm really stumped. I really appreciate your response. This is an outstanding forum. Cheers!

Thank you for your response. The server NIC is set to auto and linked at 1Gbps. When I copy files to and from the server in question I can max out it's gigabit connection. This issue occurs only when serving an image to clients.

Hi there, I have a strange issue I haven't been able to resolve. I have one distribution point in our SCCM 2012 R2 environment that will not exceed 100 Mbps when clients are being imaged. For example, 5 clients PXE boot to the DP and begin running a task sequence. Each client gets 20 Mbps. When one client completes, the remaining 4 clients get 25 Mbps, and so on. This DP was not configured to behave this way intentionally and I have been unsuccessful trying to locate any setting to manipulate it. I have read posts about rate limiting inside IIS but none of that is configured. During client imaging while the server NIC is "stuck" at 100 Mbps, I can easily copy large amounts of data to the server and max out the 1 Gbps connection it is on. All of our distribution points are identical and I'm really stumped so I've come here for help. If anyone has any insight on how to troubleshoot this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi there, I've been trying (struggling) to modify the pre-canned report "Computers with low memory (less than or equal to specified MB) in a specific collection". I have very little experience with SQL reporting but am trying to pick up what I can. My first goal with this report was to modify it so that a collection could be specified at runtime and that works. Now I would like to add 2 additional columns to the report for Computer Manufacturer and Computer Model. I am able to get those columns to show up with data in them but the data doesn't match up with the existing columns. These 2 columns seem to be ignoring the collection restriction and are populating with all computers. Here is the query: SELECT Distinct Manufacturer0,Model0,SYS.Netbios_Name0, SYS.Operating_System_Name_and0, MEM.TotalPhysicalMemory0/1024 As C083 FROM v_GS_SYSTEM_ENCLOSURE, fn_rbac_R_System(@UserSIDs) SYS JOIN fn_rbac_GS_X86_PC_MEMORY(@UserSIDs) MEM on SYS.ResourceID = MEM.ResourceID join v_fullcollectionmembership fcm on fcm.resourceid=sys.resourceid WHERE fcm.collectionid = @COLLID and MEM.TotalPhysicalMemory0/1024 <= @variable I have bolded in red the additional parts of the query that I would like to populate the 2 new columns with. I know this is incorrect but I am stuck in my troubleshooting. Could some please assist in making this all happen? As always, thanks for your assistance.

Hi there, for the past few months I have been running a trouble-free SCCM 2012 SP1 environment. I have started to explore some additional functionality and decided that I would like to have the ConfigMgr client installed on my remote distribution points so I can do some patch management on the servers. As soon as I installed the client on the DPs, WDS stopped working. The only way for me to get WDS to load back up is to disable multicast on my DPs. This is not ideal as I would really like to continue using this feature. This has all been working great for months and this is the only change I have done. I really don't want to have to manually manage patching these servers so I'd like to be able to keep the client installed on these servers. Does anyone know if there is some compatibility issue between the ConfigMgr client and WDS Multicast? I have had very little success searching for answers so I thought I'd post here. If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. Thanks!

Well it looks like I spoke too soon. Imaging is back to not working again. Same timeout error message as before. It was nice while it lasted...

OK so I just wanted to post an update. I changed one setting on all of my distribution points; I unchecked "Allow fallback source location for content". This setting has been enabled and working fine for 3 weeks so I don't know what happened, but now my imaging works again. I have successfully deployed 5 workstations since unchecking that option. It may be a coincidence but since making that change everything is back to working. Anyway, I'm keeping that setting disabled and I'll post back with an update if anything changes.

I checked with our network guys and we do run spanning tree, but what really bothers me is that this was a working setup up until yesterday. It's been running really well for at least 3 weeks and out of the blue it craps out like this. I've been working on this all day today with no joy at all. The only thing that is consistant is that the image download will fail at a random % every time with the 0x80072EE2 error. Bummer... I'll update if I discover anything new. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi there, I just wanted to bump this to say I just starting experiencing this as well. My system has been running fine for approx. 3 weeks and then all of a sudden this starts happening. SCCM 2012 SP1 running on Windows Server 2012 + all Windows updates Primary Site Server - Windows Server 2012 SQL Server - SQL Server 2012 34 Distribution Points - Windows Server 2012 The whole system has been working amazing, then I start getting calls about OSD not working. It seems to have broken on multiple DPs with the error code 0x80072EE2. This is across multiple locations on multiple networks. I don't know if it's broken on all DPs but there have been reports from multiple locations. Imaging will fail at a random % with error code 0x80072EE2 which seems to reference a "network connection failed" type message. I haven't been able to track down the culprit yet so if anyone has a suggestion, it would be most welcome. Thank you.

So I thought I'd post back just to say that my migration went well. I just jumped in and did it and the built in migration tasks worked out great. The only thing that failed was migrating any task sequence that had MDT components in it. Even thought I had done the MDT Update 1 on my new server prior to migration it failed every time. Not sure if that's expected or not, and I honestly didn't spend too much time troubleshooting that. Anyway, if anyone out there is faced with migrating a ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 install to a new site/build/hardware, the tools work well. I've not contributed much to this forum but it has helped me out a lot so if I can give something back I'm happy to. Cheers!

Hi there, after spending countless hours trying to troubleshoot all the issues I have run into post-SP1 I am considering a full site rebuild. Currently my site looks like: 1 - Primary Site ( Windows 2008 R2 SP1 ) 1 - SQL Server ( Windows 2008 R2 SP1, SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 10.50.2861 ) 11 - Distribution Points ( Windows 2008 R2 SP1 ) Pretty simple setup... Anyway, I'm stuck with a few issues post-SP1 that are really driving me crazy and I have an opportunity in about 2 weeks to take the system down and start over. I have Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012 available for use if I want to so I was thinking of at least using Server 2012. I have some concerns that my database isn't entirely sound. I've got some values in my inventory that don't make much sense. I was wondering if it's possible to set up a new site and do a migration the same way I did when I migrated from 2007 using the built in tools. I was hoping to create a new empty database and migrate all my packages/collections/task sequences. I thought I might just let the new site rediscover all my client data. So the point of this post is to get some feedback. I'm sure some people in this forum have done a ConfigMgr 2012 to ConfigMgr 2012 migration but I didn't have much luck searching for info. Understandably, most info I found dealt with 2007 to 2012 migration. Thanks for reading. Any info/insight/advise/warnings are all welcome. Cheers!

No problem, I appreciate you taking the time to look.

Thanks for the response. Here is the ccmsetup.log as requested. Please let me know if I can provide any further info. Thank you. http://sdrv.ms/11H6w2g

Hi there, I've updated our site to SP1 which was a total nightmare. After correcting all the issues I am still stuck on one major one. My PolicyAgent.log file on my clients is full of the following errors: Signature verification failed for PolicyAssignmentID {GUID} Followed by: Raising event: instance of CCM_PolicyAgent_PolicyAuthorizationFailure { ClientID = "GUID:9cc7d533-db8f-4cf9-a874-97c174d06649"; DateTime = "20130212164743.208000+000"; PolicyNamespace = "\\\\computername\\ROOT\\ccm\\Policy\\Machine\\RequestedConfig"; PolicySource = "SMS:sitename"; ProcessID = 664; ThreadID = 6580; }; I have read through more troubleshooting posts than I care to think about and I'm still stuck. I've gone through the logs that keep getting mentioned and this PolicyAgent.log is the only one that shows me errors. The certificates were set up as outlined in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682023.aspx and the logs seem to indicate they are working OK. Of course, the error I'm having trouble with also seems to be certificate related so obviously I missed something. I've been going in circles trying to get to the bottom of this so I've decided to post. If anyone has any suggestions on where to start troubleshooting this I'd love to hear them. Thanks for all your help!

Hi there, we've been running ConfigMgr 2012 for a few months pretty successfully. We used to run ConfigMgr 2007 and had a few queries for system chassis type to locate desktops and laptops. I recreated the queries in ConfigMgr 2012 and didn't get any results. I have checked the client settings to verify that the "System Enclosure - Chassis Types" is enabled and I have verified that hardware inventory is working correctly. When I check the "System Enclosure" value in any clients' "Resource Explorer" the column headings and values don't have any of the data I would expect. I have attached a screenshot of what I see. Most of the values just say "System Enclosure" and none of them report the chassis type. Has anyone else experienced this, or have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue? I really miss having the chassis type query so I'd love to get this working again. Thanks for your help!

Hi there, I've got a question about boundary groups, multicast and multiple DPs. I have a boundary group that consists of multiple IP ranges. In this boundary group there are 2 DPs: 1 x Windows Server 2008R2 - multicast enabled 1 x Windows 7 SP1 - multicast not supported These 2 servers exist on different networks. The main reason for having the Windows 7 DP is for OSD at a small location. Can I leave the WIM file multicast-enabled, or do I have to turn that off now? The reason I ask is because my deployments are failing with a hash incorrect error unless I disable the multicast option on the WIM. The clients on the same physical network as the WIndows 7 DP will try the multicast option from the Server 2008R2 box first and fail. I was hoping that they would fail over to the Windows 7 DP at their location but that's not happening. When I disable the multicast option on the WIM they try the Windows 7 DP first and all goes well. Maybe I'm trying to do something that isn't supported. I've already thought of a possible workaround but I just wanted to ask first. Lastly, I just wanted to say thank you for all the support this forum has provided me. Absolutely invaluable. Cheers!

Thank you both for your suggestions. Peter, yes the client is within the boundary group of the DP.

Thanks again for the suggestion. This is a "deploy" TS, not a "Build and Capture". I've got my TS running successfully now after I switched everything back to packages. Weird that my "Applications" work fine through the Application Catalog though. Any further suggestions are always appreciated.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I've tried that but it just fails on the next "Application" in the TS. I've resorted to going back to the "Package" method of app deployment until I can get this resolved. I'd still love to hear more input on this as I would love to take advantage of the new "Application" deployment. Another interesting thing to note is that my "Applications" install fine through the new Application Catalog web service point. I can only assume that this means the "Applications" are configured correctly. Thanks again for the input.
