    I don't know what parameter you are talking about nor do I understand what you mean by your last sentence, can you explain a bit more?
  2. GarthMJ
    Yes, You can do both.. in a nutshell if the data exists within CM database you can do anything with it.
  3. GarthMJ
    Clients are always assigned to primary site.

    Keep in mind that MW will never be greater than 24hours. If you ever set a MW for these PCs, they will never install anything as the download time is greater than the MW itself. Honestly I would force reboot them at 2pm on Friday afternoon and start the deployment on Monday @ 10am. No client can say they didn't get enough time to install the SU with that much time.
  5. GarthMJ
    Yes that is a good idea to use Security groups and no it should no re-deploy the application to those computers.
  6. GarthMJ
    Yes you can delete the zip file. it is not need any more.

    How did you determine which OU was causing your problem?
  8. GarthMJ
    You are welcome to have a remote SQL server but as a consultant I always add 15 days to any project with remote SQL server. Remote SQL servers always give you headaches.

    I am happy to announce that you can now pre-order my new book entitled, System Center Configuration Manager Reporting Unleashed. What I love about this book is that there are so many demonstrations. These demonstrations help reinforce the topics discussed within the chapters. Reporting Unleashed will show you from start to finish how to create a ConfigMgr report. Best practices for report design and creating report templates are noted, and all of the listings, code snippets and RDLs can be found within the online content. There is even a section on how to create Role-Based Administration (RBA) reports, along with lots of helpful troubleshooting tips. This book has been years in the making. It stayed on the back burner for a long time and without the help of Kerrie Meyler @kerriemeyler, Dan Toll @DanToll and the Enhansoft team, it would still be on the back burner of my desk!

    The steps are the same for CM1511 and for CM12. But it is recommend to keep SQL with CM1511 and not remote to it.
  11. GarthMJ
    yes.. why complicate life?
  12. GarthMJ
    You are not getting results in CM12 it means they are NO scanning for SU using CM12. Review the log files on the client side to figure out what is going one. You should NOT be looking at WSUS as this can cause problems.
  13. GarthMJ
    The easiest way to is to. On a new server/VM install Windows 2012, SQL 2014, WSUS, CM1511. Migrate any existing packages from your old CM12 server. Migrate your client to the new server. Decommission the old CM12 server. Done
  14. GarthMJ
    Backup and restore is really your only option. Unless you want to built net new then you can troffer settings from one site to another but all of you client will need to be reinstalled. At this point I would go with CM1511.
  15. GarthMJ
    Having not used SCORCH, I'm going to say you need to do this via PowerShell/VBS and add one computer at a time into a collection.
  16. GarthMJ
    Everything you need is within the CM07 SDK. heck on myitforum or my old blog there might be a vbs script to export this a CM07 PDF. it wouldn't take long to make this a xml file.
  17. GarthMJ
    What version is updating? What do the log say? did you enable the client setting to deploy the new Software Center?
  18. GarthMJ
    What make you think this has anything to do with CMCB?
  19. GarthMJ
    It doesn't look like you can within the console. I would make the suggestion on the user voice site. I would then post the link back here so that others can vote it up. https://configurationmanager.uservoice.com/forums/300492-ideas

    All I will say is test it.. as a consultant this is not what I would recommend. With 8000 computers, it is recommend to have at least two DPs.
  21. GarthMJ
    err. yes it does...
  22. GarthMJ
    IMO There are of things that can be done better. Like "bandwidth" has nothing to do with using ADR or not. The same is true for you deploys as they happen now, aka there is no need for middle of the night deployments. Why not use BITS?? Why not use Branchcache??? How are you DPs laid out? etc., etc., etc...
  23. GarthMJ
    I see no advantage of updating each SU with a custom then have ARD come into play, this seem like a lot of manual work. Why set hundreds of SU to have a custom severity, instead of just creating a SU group and deploy it? Why not simply: Create SU Group Deploy it to your pilot group 4-5 people Deploy it to your test group (~1-3% of your computers) Deploy it to 1/3 of your computers Deploy it to the next 1/3 of your computers Deploy it to everyone. This ensure that you are always testing against the same SU group and therefore there are no surprise. if there is a problem you can stop it and you don't affect everyone.
  24. GarthMJ
    This statement contradicts itself. ADR be definition automatic push out SU to computers. This is the risk as no testing is done on the SU. Hence the reason why I only use ADR for SCEP updates. It sound like you are trying to use ADR instead of setting up SU groups and deploying them in a tested and staggered fashion.
  25. GarthMJ
    As a consultant I would never recommend use ADR for anything other that SCEP update. IMO it is a bad idea with too much risk.
