whats the error message when you update the deployment share ?

@aaronfenwick - Go ahead and document it. It would be really interesting to see this change.

Similar kind of issue happened when i was deploying the windows XP sp3. Thought the files were there is deployment share, the error popped up saying that the files were missing. the solution to this is change the media and get a new one or delete the OS folder from deploymentshare/operating system and import it again.

Updated Download link for MDT 2010 Update 1 : http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=2932

I believe you should use SSD hard disk for faster performance, RAM 16 GB is fine, Processor intel i7-3770k is really good.

I had read in a blog that Microsoft is trying hard to prevent making any changes to start button of the windows 8.Initally with the windows 8 release preview users wanted the start button to be included. Lets wait and see what new features would/can be added to windows 8.

What edition of Server 2008 R2 have you installed ??

Is there any query to find the current user logged into the computer. I have set of workstations in a domain, i want to know which user is logged in to which machine. I have heard that there is SQL query which resolves this issue. Any idea how it can be done (through sccm or SQL). Please help me out. I am currently using sccm 2007 R3.

I have deployed SCCM 2007 R3 in my company.. I have created collections for laptops and Workstations. We have symantec antivrus clients (12.1) installed on laptops and workstations. Can i write a query to find the computers where symantec AV clients are not installed. I wrote query to find symantec AV installed, its working fine. But how do i find computers where symantec AV is not installed. Please help me out...

congrats .... even i shall dream of becoming MVP

the software will not be installed unless you manually create a package and deploy it on a collection.

can you tell me which edition of the SQL server is this ???

Compatibilty mode is to view the IE pages in one of the compatible modes... it has to be specified by the user every time the IE is launched.

i would rather suggest kaspersky av... spyware detection and removal works good when there is no rootkit/worm inside your comp.

i did face a similar issue, i had symantec AV client updated with latest definitions, but the worm still penetrated into my computer.. strange..

TDSS is a very complicated piece of malware and the cybercriminals have created an ingenious propagation tool for its loader. Hi All, I am sharing some info on TDSS worm and its removal. I have faced with this issue recently and will be sharing info on removal of it. INFO: The TDSS loader was named Net-Worm.Win32.Rorpian and has two methods of propagation: Via removable media Via a LAN When propagating via removable media, the worm creates the files setup.lnk, myporno.avi.lnk, pornmovs.lnk and autorun.inf. These files contain a link to the file rundll32.exe whose parameters reference the worm’s DLL. This is a standard technique used in many malicious programs. The worm uses the following methodology when working with a LAN. To infect a computer, the worm checks if a DHSP server is used in the network. If the victim computer is located on a network using the DHCP protocol, the worm starts scanning the network to see if there are any available IP addresses. After that, the worm launches its own DHCP server and starts listening to the network. When a DHCP request from a computer in the local network arrives, the worm attempts to respond to it before the “official” DHCP server does, and species the following: An IP address from the pool of available IP addresses The main gateway specified on the infected computer The address of the malicious DNS server belonging to the cybercriminals After these manipulations, whenever the user tries to visit any web page, they will be redirected to the malicious server and prompted to update their web browser. The user gets notification for an update and when updated the user downloads Net-Worm.Win32.Rorpian. After infecting the user’s computer, it changes the DNS settings into a Google server address and lets the user browse. The IP address is usually of 188.xx.xx.xx range and the DNS server IP is 8.8.8.8. REMOVAL : Coming to the cleaning part of this worm, I feel this is the most painfull job. The affected devices must be first disconnected from the network. The devices would work fine if given a static IP, but the worm is more active when there is a DHCP server. Kaspersky provides a tool to identify and kill the TDSS worm. The tool can be found at the link : http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/avptool2010?level=2. With this tool we need to scan all the systems and clean up the malware.

turn off the firewall and give a try...

okay try this .. turn off windows firewall on both SCCM and Client.... (test purpose)....

Nice one and very important.. Thanks anyweb

where have you copied the OS ??

Thanks anyweb, i was looking for this..

as an alternative, you can add a domain user to the local admin group so that it can also be useful while troubleshooting... i will post your requested script very soon...

if you find the process running in task manager then wait for it to complete the installation. You can check in programs and features (appwiz.cpl).

what permissions are set for on the Mapped drive for the clients ??
