This is actually pertaining to SCCM 2012 R2 but I'm sure this would apply to SCCM 2012 as well. I'm trying to determine how SCCM handles scenarios where you have two or more software update deployments, and each deployment is configured to deploy to a different collection, and one or more clients are members of each of those collections. Is this a valid scenario or can you only have multiple software deployments going to collections with unique memberships i.e. a client is a member of only one of those targeted collections. The reason I ask this is because it seems that only one software update deployment is going to the first collection that this client is a member of and any other deployments are being ignored or not being processed for this client. To further clarify, this is a Win81 client which is a member of a Win8x Managed Systems collection. I configured a "Deploy Win8x Updates" deployment to the "Win8x Managed Systems" collection and the associated Win81 updates will show up in Software Center on the client system. Now, I also configured a "Deploy Office 2013 Updates" deployment to the "All Managed Client Systems" collection which this Win81 client system is also a member of. This collection contains all the managed systems in our infrastructure and the client OSes are Win7, Win8, and Win81. The Office 2013 deployment deploys to this larger collection (25 systems right now) because the client OS is not a concern but the version of MS Office running on these clients is. I configured the available time for both of these deployments to be "as soon as possible" but I staggered the deadlines by six hours since I wanted both deployments to do a forced install after the deadline which was over the past weekend. The goal here is to have all these updates apply themselves automatically to unattended systems. The problem is that only the applicable Windows 8.1 updates show up in Software Center but the Office 2013 updates do not and I know these Office updates are needed on this Win81 client system. Also, do Software Update Groups with superceded (black X icon ) or invalid (red X icon) updates in them affect the software deployment? Will the deployment not work when the update groups are in this state? Thank you in advance for your help on this! RA

Hi Everyone, Firstly I just wanted to say these forums are great. They have helped so much with my installation and management of Configuration Manager at my site. Yesterday I upgraded from Configuration Manager 2012 SP1 (on Server 2008 R2) to Configuration Manager 2012 R2. I followed this guide on this website: http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/8451-how-can-i-install-system-center-2012-r2-configuration-manager/ I used the actual release version instead of the Preview Release version in the guide above. The installation went very smoothly just like the guide. At the end I had all green checks and everything seemed fine. Very shortly afterwards we tried to image some machines and noticed they were failing. Diving into our logs using the CMTrace tool we discovered lots of red errors. Within the sitecomp.log it looks like the upgrade on the SMSMP failed or is failing: Remove STORM.MERCEDES.WA.EDU.AU from user group SMS_SiteSystemToSiteServerConnection_MP_MCP SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER 23/10/2013 5:42:01 AM 712 (0x02C8) NetLocalGroupDelMembers(MERCEDES\STORM$) failed with (1377) SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER 23/10/2013 5:42:01 AM 712 (0x02C8) Starting bootstrap operations...
