There was not way to do this in CM07 that I'm aware of short of creating a Collection and adding the PC/User to the collections and Advertising the package out to that collection. The process is the same in CM12.

It might be possible to do this, read these blog AND particularly the TechNet docs listed within the blog post. http://be.enhansoft.com/post/2014/01/14/Upgrading-SCCM-2012-R2s-Site-Server-Operating-System.aspx http://be.enhansoft.com/post/2013/12/05/Upgrading-Configuration-Manager-2012-Database-From-SQL-2008-to-SQL-2012.aspx If not then you will have to rebuild you site from the ground up.

Why do you have ISS file on a UNC share? Why not included it with the packages? It will cause you problems if you don't.

It means that the role is already installed. and Please stop yelling in the forums.

Check the log file to ensure that CM12 Client is health, Reinstall the client if necessary. And Please stop yelling in the forums.

This simple answer is people don’t configuration their SQL server correctly. If you have a remote SQL server it should be dedicated to CM12, with a dedicated fiber connection between the two servers. It is added complexity and in 99% of all cases slower performance. There are long winded answer but you will find that most senior CM Administrators will highly recommend that you keep SQL local. Heck the biggest CM12 environment (400K) is using Local SQL.

Yes it need to the know the real path. No, it must the real DB files I believe that the DB file must be local to the SQL server and therefore you can't use UNC paths to the db. BTW Remote SQL server is NOT generally recommend.

The WSUS server can only be for CM12 or itself, it can't be both.

Here is the original 2007 version. You will notice that the step are the same, the log fie have very minor name changes. http://www.myitforum.com/articles/8/view.asp?id=11236

Until you read the logs file and find an error there is nothing more anyone can do to help you.

If you add the Class "B" as boundaries to the CM12 server then they will be considered Intranet and everything will work fine.

CM07 does support Windows 7 and Windows 8. You need to review the logs files to determine what the problem is. This blog post will help you. http://be.enhansoft.com/post/2013/07/25/Troubleshooting-Inventory-Flow.aspx

Because it take 2 second to run and it give you last logon user details. Hardware Inv should also be daily. Software Inv should be turn off or set to every 14 days as it is useless.

Based on your other post within the Technet forums. This info come from Heartbeat discovery. I always recommend that this be set to Daily.

BTW, Rob is in the UK too. ;-) He is (or was) the user group leader for the SCCM user group in London. He is a good guy to know, if you live in the UK.

All I do is increase the log file sizes until you get 3-5 days worth of logs. I don't understand your first comment. Retries of what? if you inboxes are overload it sounds like you either have aggressively settings or underpowered server with not enough IOPS. You second comment doesn't make sense when you take about Primary in CM12. Primary site are NOT security boundaries like they are in CM07. Remember that alot of stuff is global data and therefore share between primary site and therefore one group CAN affect the second group even if their are two primary site. Also remember that it is STRONGLY recommend that all administration be done at the CAS not at the Primary sites. ONLY RBA can use to resolve this problem (I have used to several places for this exact reason) OR Two completely different primary sites that don't talk to each other at all, again would be far similar that adding a CAS into the mix.

It is not possible. Why would you want to discovery disabled users?

A CAS will NOT protect you in this situation, there are no, if, and, or, but about it. With 5000 devices you need to stay with a simple primary server and use RBA to preform role separation.

Yes.. :-) You need to 2 datasets if you want to create a drop down menu. You need only 1 dataset if you want freeform text box. or if you want to hardcode the Collection. Personally I would go with two, it make the report much clearer looking.

You can do this using dbo.v_FullCollectionMembership the SQL view and preforming a inner join on ResourceID between both SQL views.

Don't worry about it. Best of luck getting this fixed up.

Ok, Now I see where you are trying to go and what the issue is. No one will be able to answer this question without first looking at the query you are trying to run to grab the data for your CMDB. Assuming that you are populating your CMDB every 24 hours, it could take ~48 hours for data from CM12 to get into your CMDB. There are a number of variables that will increase or decrease this time. IMO this is starting to become something that can't be easily answered within a forum and as such you should look at hiring a CM expert that can help grab the data from CM12 and get it into your CMDB.

I'm completely confused. At the beginning of this post you talk about discovery taking days for a PC to show up but later in the post you say a PC shows up within 10 minutes. Go back to the beginning, exactly what problem are you trying to solve? aka why do you think that there is a problem at all?

Again, where are you looking for these details? Resource Explorer, Reports, Collection, ????

If you have you HW inventory set to daily then it will happen every day, once the CM12 client is installed. BUT... That does NOT mean that it will show up within all collations within 24 hours. Hence the reason why I asked where are you looking for this details. Are you looking for it within the All Systems Collection? On top of that it could take a while for the PC to get the CM12 client installed. So why do you think that it take 4 days for the client to show up? Exactly what troubleshooting steps have you taken? Have you confirmed that the PC is listed in AD? Have you confirmed that the PC name is resolvable by DNS? Have you confirmed that the CM12 client has been installed? How is the CM12 client getting installed? Exactly where are you looking for the client in CM12?
