Thank you for your answer!

According to the SCCM 2012 guide of the forum it is necessary to open the TCP port 1433 and 4022 for SQL replication, if setting up a hierarchie. So it is not necessary to do this step if I set up a standalone primary site, right?

Thanks!

Is it possible to change the domain membership of a CM primary site server without a complete reinstallation?

? But I want to determine that e.g. MS Word icon is on the left side and the MS Excel icon is on the right side....how to realise that? Do I need a script or whatever?

But how to align the icons at a certain postition on the desktop?

Thanks for your help, I gonna try it by creating a GPO.

Ok Thanks! But I guess I will avoid to use SCUP for my small size network.

My problem: After deploying several apps the desktop icon of them will appear randomly...is there a way to determine the exact position for the desktop icons? I want to create a user friendly, unified desktop surface.

Hi Matt_B, can you send me some links with the mentioned blogs? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks!

After deploying the OS, drivers and apps I want to change user permissions for specific folders. How can I do that? Is there a function in SSCM or do I have to use a group policy?

As already mentioned I would create a task sequence to deinstall the old version and install the new one. I am just afraid of the workload if using SCUP for third parties update.

I guess I need a task sequence to copy the files to a certain location. How can I do that? Thanks for your patience...

That means I can name the devices by importing the machines with an CSV (which contains name, GUID,MAC). Right? I am a bit confused. What is the easiest way to name 100 devices which are not yet imported in Configuration Manager?

Hi Peter, thanks for your help again. How can I extract a zip via a command line and ceate a desktopn icon at the same time?

Hi Peter, I know that I've posted my issue twice because I realised too late that there's also a SUP subforum. But I've already report that to the moderator!? Back to topic: I don't know if it does make sense to update my third party apps via SCUP because it seems pretty complicated to me and my network with around 100 devices. To mention is that all my devices will have exactly the same configuration and software.

I don't use MDT.... The way to name a device which I know so far is to create a task sequence: http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/5542-how-can-i-easily-prompt-for-a-computer-name-in-configuration-manager-2012/ And afaik I only need to name a device once right? When I deploy the image once again it will migrate the device name. So I am only interessted in naming a device with non running OS.

I have around 100 new PCs which I want to manage with SCCM 2012 in the future (within this month) and every single device needs a specific device name. The plan is to deploy a captured image to the devices. My question: Is the given name in the csv file automatically the device name in Windows? I am searching the best way to name the devices.

I need some help to deploy an application in *.zip format. The application doesn't need an installation, it only needs to be extract to a certain folder. How can I do that using SCCM 2012?

Due to the great tutorials on this site I could handle it to deploy Microsoft Updates.But my question atm is how to deploy software updates of non Microsoft applications? My former idea is, just to deinstall the older version od the app and install the newer one in case there is an update. Nowadays I have heard about the System Center Update Pubisher and I ask myself if it's worth to use it. It sounds pretty complicated. Has anyone some experiences with it and would you recommend it to use it?

Hi anyweb, once again another great tutorial! My question: Is it possible to give the PC's the device name in this way? E.g. if I have a PC without an OS and I want to name it...can I do it by importing the computer via a csv file and set the name in it or do I have to use a task sequence to name every single PC? The disadvantage by setting the name via task sequence is that I have to type it in every time when I want deploy a OS,right?

I could already find a solution for that problem! For everybody with the same issue here the solution: 1. In the Configuration Manager Console, select the Task Sequence and the from Actions pane select Edit. 2. The Task Sequence Editor will open. In the left pane select Partition Disk 3. Double click on the first item under Volume to bring up the Partition Properties. Under Formatting options, select Quick Format and under the Advance Options in the Variable field, type BOOTPART. Click OK. 4. Double click on the second item under Volume to bring up the Partition Properties. In the Partition options, select Use a percentage of remaining free space. The Size(%) should be set to 100. Under Formatting options, select Quick Format and under the Advance Options in the Variable field, type OSPART. Click OK. 5. Select Apply Operating System. Change the Image drop down menu from 1-1 to 2-2. Select from the Destination drop-down menu Logical drive letter stored in variable. In the Variable name field, type OSPART. Click OK. 6. Click on the Apply Data Image 1. Click on the Options tab and select Disable this step. Click Ok.

I have captured a Win 7 system using capured media. Of course on the Win 7 system there were 2 partitions, the first one was the 100MB "hidden" partition and the second one was the rest of the hdd. How can I create such an "hidden" 100MB partition in my task sequence? I guess it should be set in the task sequence point FORMAT HARDDISK, but how to create the "hidden" one? I could create two partitions, but at the end it will appear as C: and D: in Windows GUI. Hope somebody can give me some advices!
