Hello, By doing MS - Date Released within 1 month - Date Revised within one Month - Expired No - Superseded No ==> 16 which seems low as the email from WSUS is 36 (37 counted) patches so I changed to MS - - Date Revised within one Month - Expired No - Superseded No ==> 31 - Date Revised within one Month - Expired No - Superseded No ==> 114 So this shows that there seems to be a gap within these variances of criterai and not really sure which one is the best way to go as for example this month I noticed several patches released 4/13/2010 and revised 7/13/2010... in my search folders they were not picked as I selected the released and revised within the last month ... it is an "AND" not an "OR" Any idea? Should it an OR? Or select only the patches Revised within a 1 month? e.g.:MS10-024 Security Update for Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition (KN976323) Also the patches coming with no bulletin ID are not picked up is it correct? e.g.:"Update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 Junk Email Fileter (KB2202131)" All the one WSUS was listed as "Other Updates" none are picked... Update Rollup 4 for Exchange Server 2010 (KB982639) Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - July 2010 (KB890830) Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - July 2010 (KB890830) - IE Version Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - July 2010 (KB890830) Definition Update for Microsoft Office 2010 suites (KB982726), 64-Bit Edition Definition Update for Microsoft Office 2010 suites (KB982726), 32-Bit Edition Thanks, Dom

Hello, After setting this up it seems the Task: "Backup Configmgr Site Server" does not start by itself. Site Status > Component Status > SMS_SITE_BACKUP is in Manual Statup Type The SMS_SITE_BACKUP service is not running and it is set to "Manual" Should it be automatically changed to Scheduled and the service Started or should it be done manually? Thanks, DOm

Hello, I have created a package to install Forefront Security. I created a package with the following command line: "CLIENTSETUP.EXE CG ForefrontClientSecurity /MS voforefrontcs1" "The program for advertisement "TST2001A" failed )"TST00006" - "XXXX - FCS Client Security"). A failure exit code 1623 was returned. User context: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Possible cause: System Management Server (SMS) determines status for each program it executes. If SMS cannot find or correlate any installation status Management Information Format (MIF) files for the program, it uses the program's exit code to determine status. An exit code of 1623 is considered a failure. Solutions: For more information on the exit code, refer to the documentation for the program you are distributing." What does this mean exactly? When i pass the command manually it works without problem, when I try a package and/or a TS it fails??? Thanks, Dom

Let me create a package but which option(s) in the TS? Run Command Line? Install Software ? ... but why it could not find the cmd file as it is there and available... under \\Server Name\C$\Source Files\Microsoft\Tools... Should I get logs somewhere either option(s) I took? I tried the oackage it says sucessfull in the execmgr.log but nothing happened... I advertised the package to the same collection as the TS the two ads are displayed the TS failing (see attachment) and the Distribution Package succeeding but nothing happened on the machine itself... it seems it just downloaded the package but there is no execution... smsts.zip

Hi Any, Later it will be three tasks but for now I am trying to make the first one working.(Remove Sophos by Script, Reboot, Install Forefront). - No boot image now. For now I am working on the removal of SOPHOS: One task only and it is failing with 0x80070002 which seems directed to a folder or process not found. If I run the script Sophos_uninstall.cmd manually it works. I created the TS by adding "Run Command Line" Sophos_uninstall.cmd then advertise it to one machine. I have only the command line in th TS no Package... Why is it failing with "process, folder ... not found as when running manually it finds everything... Thanks, Dom Removal Sophos -001.zip

Surely from Sherry as for SCCM between her and Garth I was able to solve 105% of my issues This is the content of the MOF files I used: CONFIGURATION.MOF then: SMS_DEF.MOF Troubleshooting links: http://www.myitforum.com/articles/8/view.asp?id=11236 To have more information for inventory: http://www.myitforum.com/myITWiki/SCCMINV.ashx The tool from Mark Cochrane is excellent to create these MOF files by copy/paste http://www.myitforum.com/inc/upload/12336RegKeyToMOF.zip Thanks, Dom

hello Any, Any hope it will opened soon... Thanks, Dom

Hello, I tried http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb892804.aspx Task Sequence: Capture New Image - W2K08 has failed with the error cod (0x00000032). So should I use a bootable CD and a TS or a Capture CD alone or a Capture CD and a TS? Thanks, - Dom

Hello, I created a 'Capture Media' CD and the Capture is done without issue. Exception that I do not have the destination folder i put in the Ts, the file name etc... it did a capture but with default information... So should I use a bootable CD and a TS or a Capture CD alone or a Capture CD and a TS? Thanks, - Dom

Hello, Still the same error I have the error 0x00000032 on the screen. I have cleaned-up all drivers from the server (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrosd/thread/9766ee48-effa-41d3-9040-b55f87c48ced/) and then imported only the one needed by the workstation used. I attached the smsts.log PING, NSLOOKUP, TELNET work Should the machine be in WORKGROUP or DOMAIN? or doesn't matter? Should I boot to CD or Harddrive? or doesn't matter? In the first part of the boot when Initializing Windows PE - Retrieving policy for this computer "Copying/Loading Preinstalation Environment..." is it using information from the CD or from the Task Sequence within the console loaded with the harddrive information? Then after removing the CD the Task Sequence starts.??? I checked already step by step http://blogs.technet.com/smsandmom/archive...ly-reboots.aspx but no clue comes out of it as all tasks requested ran fine... Thanks, - Dom smsts_1.zip

Back to the starting point: Task Sequence: Capture New Image - W2K08 has failed with the error cod (0x00000032). See smstslog attached.. sending with winhttp failed; 80072ee7 from what i read everybody is thinking Drivers but are they different between a Build & Capture and a capture only TS??? I am using the same boot image and it is failing when displaying this step: "Install deployment Tools with a Package where the command line is "sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:sysprep.xml" " so before this step... Prepare ConfigMgr Client for Capture Which one is really failing? As I am capturing an image from a workstation the driver is already on the workstation, it is also in the Boot image, is it not enough? Thanks, - Dom wpeinit.zip

Finally 4 out of 4 workstations got the Build & Capture TS working... everything was in: DNS, Hardware, Processor not recognized..., Network down, firewall... etc... All machines are in a WORKGROUP for now. Is it usual that the 4 WIM files have 4 different sizes? Should I join them to the domain to run the TS for the Capture ONLY... ? I am not sure as the syprep will not work .... Now I will add some customization: one application, one background picture for the company and I will try still the 'Capture only' on the four now... all files sysprep.exe, sysprep.cl, sysprep.xml have been copied to the reference machine under a folder c:\sysprep cross-fingers this time at least one will work... Thanks, - Dom

I re-imaged two machines and I have the same errors on them for now... Image Add the Administrator group containing all Service and Server Accounts Boot from CD Task Sequence seen Remove CD on request Running... Task Sequence: Server Task Sequence has failed with the error code (0x80070002). on the folowing step Running action: Apply Operating System Image Wiping volume C:\ nslookup works fine boths ways both clients. Thanks, Dominique OPPMCCSTRN5_LOGS.zip OPPMCCSTRN6_LOGS.zip

Good news the machine re-imaged picked the TS... bad news it fails later with an error 0x80070002... so now I have only one machine not picking the task but still three errors: - 0x80004005 (the site code is correct on this one now...) - 0x80070002 let me check the new smsts.log for this new imaged machine - do not pick the TS - Should all NIC drivers be on the CD I am booting from? - Does SCCM after booting load the NIC Drivers from the DP updated? Thanks, -Dom smsts.zip

I was able to change the site to the correct one on only one machine using the script of Kent Agerlund thanks Kent. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------You don't need to reinstall the client, you can reassign the site code on the clients.
