Hi all, A problem that seems to be occurring more and more frequently in the environment I'm currently working in is content not successfully distributing to Distribution Points.  We have over 130 secondary site servers in the environment and it's common to find "Invalid" content when using the Content Library Explorer tool. If a piece of content is "Invalid" I normally can't successfully remove it via the SCCM console as it then goes into a orphaned state in the content library.  If left for any period of time and then re-distributed to the problem DP, the files never go through the despool.box yet the distribution status pie chart will show green and the content library explorer changes back to "Invalid".  If I try to "re-distribute" the content from the SCCM console it just evaluates to already be there and stays in an "Invalid" state.  Sometimes updating the content version number and redistributing can fix the issue but 9 times out of 10 it just changes the version number in the content library but the content remains "Invalid" I've been scouring the net trying to find a WMI/Powershell cmd to trigger a full resync of content for a specific package but I can't find anything.  Is there a way to do this either via WMI, Powershell, or directly in the SQL DB?  Even if the best solution is to delete the files directly from the content library I just need to find a reliable way to fully re-sync "Invalid" content. We're using SCCM 1802 but this isn't a new problem, it's been knocking around for a long time. I hope someone has a script or a trick that can help me sort this issue. Thanks in advance, Westy

Hello, I use AD-groups when deploying applications and I want to create an automatic uninstall when the computer object is not included in the AD group (removed from the group).
I created a collection and query that checks if the application is installed but the computer object is not included in the group.

This is what I got so far: select SMS_R_System.ResourceId, SMS_R_System.ResourceType, SMS_R_System.Name, SMS_R_System.SMSUniqueIdentifier, SMS_R_System.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup, SMS_R_System.Client from  SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS on SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ProdID like "{34624CAC-1434-468E-56DC-2A7D44D5F49F}" and SMS_R_System.SecurityGroupName != "MGT\\App-install-Adapt"
  It does not work properly - some computers are listed even though they are in the install AD-group.   Thanks in advance
 

Hi guys, 
I've been struggling with this one for over a week. I updated SCCM from 1710 to 1806. Had some trouble with AV software, but all in all the update finished with success. All components seems to be working (OS deployment, Software updates, Application Installation...). But hardware inventory just won't work, neither on workstations and neither on servers. In InventoryAgent.log there always appears the same message:

steps I have tried so far:
- Repair CM Client
- Uninstall/install Client
- Created custom HINV setting and deployed, but still same error
- Forced a full HW inventori via WBEM https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com...p-forcing-a-full-hardware-inventory-for-sccm/
I am managing arround 4000 clients, and HINV doesn't work on any of them. Also there is no SCCM Hardware inventory task in Task Scheduler. On the other hand, software inventory works fine.

Previous to the upgrade, Hardware Inventory worked.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction to solve this problem.

Hi, I've updated to 1806 with all the hot fixes applied and decided to turn on "Enable a PXE responder without Windows Deployment Service"  unfortunately it doesn't work and I've had to turn WDS back on which works.  Below is the lines from the SMSPXE log.

Hi Administrator,   Hope you are doing good, Can you please guide me how I can fix KB4465865 installation error?

Hi All, We are running SCCM 1806 and Windows 10 1709 clients and currently have an issue where we try to image a machine using PXE we get the following error:     Previously it was working fine (about 6 weeks ago) but it has now just stopped.

Hi All, I have a large number of satellite sites all with there own domain which is untrusted to our main Domain with our Primary site although connectivity to these sites are all serviced via the same underlying network. What are the basic steps for me to discover these workstations in my Sccm current branch1806 environment. I was thinking about testing with one of these sites, firstly by manually creating a boundary group for one of the untrusted subnets, adding a network access account to the primary site, system or network discovery? I'm looking for recommendations for the best approach.   Any assistance would greatly appreciated
