    No, this package is only generate during installation of the site.
  2. Peter van der Woude
    I won't call it a best practice, but it shouldn't be a problem to run the cleanup wizard. The reason why you shouldn't touch the console is more based on not changing any configurations.
  3. Peter van der Woude
    Is it configured to first download content? If so, you might see some movements in the CAS.log file.
  4. Peter van der Woude
    Correct.

    Here you've got a starting point. This is a simple HTA that asks for a computername. After pressing the button it will be added as a task sequence variable. <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>© 2012 - P.T. van der Woude - Inovativ</TITLE> <HTA:APPLICATION APPLICATIONNAME="HTASetComputerName" ID="objNewApplication" VERSION="0.9.6" BORDER="thin" MAXIMIZEBUTTON="no" MINIMIZEBUTTON="no" SINGLEINSTANCE="yes"/> </HEAD> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript"> Sub Window_OnLoad() ' Set Window Size and Location Window.resizeTo 450,210 Window.moveTo (screen.width - document.body.clientwidth)/2, (screen.height - document.body.clientheight)/2 ' Set TSProgressUI Object Set objTSProgressUI = CreateObject("Microsoft.SMS.TSProgressUI") objTSProgressUI.CloseProgressDialog() End Sub Sub SetOSDComputerName() ' Set TSEnvironment Object Set objTSEnvironment = CreateObject("Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment") ' Set Task Sequence Variable OSDComputerName objTSEnvironment("OSDComputerName") = newComputerNameBox.value ' Close Window Window.Close() End Sub </SCRIPT> <BODY> <TABLE BORDER='0' WIDTH='100%' ID='AppTable' STYLE="font:12 pt calibri;table-layout:fixed"> <TR><TD COLSPAN='2'><img src="Logo_Inovativ.gif" alt="Logo_Inovativ" /></TD><TD COLSPAN='1'><B>Provide a computer name</B></TD></TR> <TR><TD ID = 'ComputerNameLabel' COLSPAN='2' VALIGN='top'></TD> <TD ID = 'ComputerNameBox' COLSPAN='1'><input type="text" name="newComputerNameBox" size="75" maxLength="15"></TD> <TR><TD COLSPAN='2' VALIGN='top'></TD> <TD COLSPAN='1'><BUTTON style="width:120;height:25" input id=runbutton name="Ok_button" onClick="SetOSDComputerName">Ok</BUTTON></TD></TR> <TR><TD STYLE='font-size:9pt' COLSPAN='2' VALIGN='bottom'><B>Blog:</B> <A HREF="http://www.petervanderwoude.nl">www.petervanderwoude.nl</A></TD> <TD STYLE='font-size:9pt' COLSPAN='1' VALIGN='bottom'><B>Twitter:</B> <A HREF="http://twitter.com/pvanderwoude">pvanderwoude</A></TD></TR></TABLE> </BODY> </HTML>

    I can't explain why you have so many of them. If the packages are not deployed, or attached to a task sequence, it's save to delete them.
  7. Peter van der Woude
    It might me a database corruption. So, if it's your production environment then I would make a CSS call with Microsoft.
  8. Peter van der Woude
    You can simply create a computer association to make sure that the data will be restored on the right computer (User State Migration node in the Assets and Compliance workspace)
  9. Peter van der Woude
    That's possible, but you have to create your own little custom HTA for that.
  10. Peter van der Woude
    Is it update at all? Can it find definitions? Are definitions deployed via ConfigMgr? A bit more information would be good.
  11. Peter van der Woude
    It might work, but not with the offline servicing functionality of ConfigMgr.
  12. Peter van der Woude
    That's not possible. Offline servicing is only for operating system updates.
  13. Peter van der Woude
    It could be of the actions that these HP tools perform to create the different files for this task sequence.
  14. Peter van der Woude
    I thought, in the end, they are registry keys. If that's truly the case you could use compliance settings for that.
  15. Peter van der Woude
    ConfigMgr is the official abbreviation of System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.
  16. Peter van der Woude
    That should be fine. Just create a new deployment and choose uninstall instead of install.
  17. Peter van der Woude
    See: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/78751d25-2e3d-44df-be86-fc1b5b054bf9/password-protect-osd-task-sequence?forum=configmanagerosd

    The default is (I thought) 5Gb. Also, the client will clean up the content it doesn't need anymore. Yes, you can have batch files or EXEs as applications.
  19. Peter van der Woude
    I'm missing a few log files, like clientlocation and locationservices. They might contain some useful information.
  20. Peter van der Woude
    In ConfigMgr you have to start using task sequence variables. In this case your script has to create and set the OSDComputerName variable to your computer name,
  21. Peter van der Woude
    No, unless you create a deployment type without content and specify a installer on a network share as the command line. That way it will run the installer straight from the network location. No. Also, it wouldn't add any functionality, because once a application is installed it will always be validated as installed.
  22. Peter van der Woude
    Not all executables contain a MSI.
  23. Peter van der Woude
    You would always have to specify the computer name somewhere, so if it's not during the deployment you could use a computer variable to store a (new) name. For new systems, simply import them in ConfigMgr and supply a name.
  24. Peter van der Woude
    You should be fine with a temporary ip, because ConfigMgr works with the FQDN of the machine and not it's ip address. Just keep in mind that you can't move a site system from, for example, a primary site to a secondary site.
  25. Peter van der Woude
    I'm sorry, but I don't get the issue(s) you're having... please provide some more information.
