Depends on client settings how often it is set to scan for updates. If user runs the software update scan on client, it will install it as the software is already available.

Get a user with admin access and ask him to add you back to the role specified

do we really need the scan as for new build system , we know that it requires all the patches. Why not create the package of all the patches and run it

Yes

Its a bit difficult at the moment as MS has not published the SQL DB schema for CM 12. You will have to look for inbuilt reports to get it done.

Have you cleared the computer record from collection (failed installation ) before initiating the build again on the same system

I hope you have a WSUS server which has got all the updates till date. Create an update list with the updates you want and deploy that update list to the collection of machines where its required. You may have to create a collection where the updates are required to be specific that those machines recieve the updates

Select Distinct CS.Name0 ‘Machine Name’, CS.UserName0 ‘User Name’, RU.Full_User_Name0 ‘Full Name’, UOU.User_OU_Name0 ‘Users OU’, RA.IP_Subnets0 ‘Subnet’ From v_Gs_Computer_System CS Join v_RA_System_IPSubnets RA on RA.ResourceID = CS.ResourceID Join v_R_User RU on RU.Unique_User_Name0 = CS.UserName0 Join v_RA_User_UserOUName UOU on UOU.ResourceID = RU.ResourceID Where UOU.User_OU_Name0 = ‘DomainName.COM/OuName’ Order by CS.Name0, CS.Username0, RU.Full_User_Name0, RA.IP_Subnets0 IP subnet part is an additional info here

Could be some issue with disk partition , have u tried diskpart manually by going in cmd prompt while reimaging

this might help http://blogs.technet.com/b/ptsblog/archive/2011/03/08/configure-power-management-with-sccm-2007-r3.aspx

Hi I was planning to do some housekeeping on DPs by removing unsued packages. Got a sql query from somewhere which gives the package details are associated with expired Ads which helped me to find obsolete packages and its easier to remove those from DPs and free some space. SELECT PackageID, Name, Version, Manufacturer, Language, Description, PkgSourcePath AS [source Path], LastRefreshTime, (SELECT COUNT(PkgID) FROM vPkgStatusSummaryDistPts WHERE PkgID = v_Package.PackageID) AS [No of DP] FROM v_Package WHERE PackageID NOT IN (SELECT PackageID FROM v_Advertisement) AND PackageID NOT IN (SELECT ReferencePackageID FROM v_TaskSequenceReferencesInfo) AND PackageType = 0 ORDER BY Name Dont remember from where I got the query but if its from this forum , do excuse me

you can use WMI

Create an AD group and link it with the collection with a SQL query , give access to your IT helpdesk for adding workstations to the AD group.

Hi all Looking for SQL query to generate a report which will list down the packages which does not have an active advert for all the DPs.

There are around 5000 packages which are used by so many businesses across different geographical locations, hence the tasks becomes a bit challenging. I have started with the packages which does not have any adverts, adverts which are not in action for at least in a year. Determining the fact the package is no longer is a bit difficult , because it will take ages if I start chasing each and every business unit asking if they need it. Do you have any specific query whcih can give me result on th packages which are not in action for a long time.

Looking for the approach taken to remove the old packages... does not want to mess up a live package..

Hello All Looking for some best practices for SCCM server space house keeping. Space on my primary and secondary servers is shrinking. I know we have lot of packages which are not used which can be removed. Anybody who might have done this kind of exercise increase the space on the servers. Any other activity which might help in increasing the space on servers. Any suggestions on the topic would be appreciated. Thanks and regards VKS

Hi Looking for some documentation which can explain different error codes which appears in different log files, primarily in execmgr . I tried to look for the information on the internet , but all I get is different kind of log files not the error codes description in those. Example : GetFileVersionInfoSize failed for file C:\WINDOWS\system32\CCM\Cache\package.6.S-1-5-21-3208199719-2002702367-2867066461-496283\msiexec, error 2 Thanks

Finally got it all up and running

hi Yes, I have configured a static ip address which is from the DHCP IP pool from the router. Router IP address : 192.168.2.1 Pool , starting from 192.168.2.2-- 192.168.2.100 Lease : Forever. My clients joined the domain without issues and can access DC. GPO settings are getting implemented on clients as well.

Hi All I have set up a domain controller , however when I am trying to lookup the server FQDN through nslookup, its not recognizing the FQDN. Existing set up. I have a DC on Windows 2008 which is connected to my Belkin router . My internet connection is through a cable where ISP has given me a static IP with DNS settings which I have used in router and internet seems to be working fine. In my DC , I have given the DC ip address as DNS server address . Do I need to change the same in router as well.

If you are trying to reset IE settings for multiple, users , you can check what all settings to change : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/182569 and implement it through GPO
