Turn off the firewall, does it work? Have you add the CM site server computer account into local admin on the WSUS server? What about WSUS admins?

Interesting, so you know I have to ask, what do you need this for?

Check your network ports for the WSUS server and what is set within CM07.

You don't need to apply all of them, IMO I wouldn't bother upgrade them to CM07 R3, instead I would work on getting them up to CM12 R2 CU2. Why put all this effort in to CM07 when you are just going to replace it shortly?

As I stated on the TechNet forum, http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/99152c1f-1a85-457d-8b83-523d633e82cc/content-transfer-between-wsus-and-sccm-client-on-port-8530?forum=configmgrsum port 8530 is for the WSUS catalog. No updates should be approved within WSUS.

You have the right idea, import the WMI classes into CM12, then you can report on them, deploy scripts based on the results, etc. These two blogs will point you in the right direction. It will be hard for anyone to give you much more than this as you haven’t given any details for anyone to work with. http://be.enhansoft.com/post/2012/05/29/Importing-MOF-settings-into-System-Center-2012-Configuration-Manager.aspx http://be.enhansoft.com/post/2012/10/24/Adding-a-WMI-Class-to-CM12-From-a-Remote-PC-Webcast.aspx

I have seen you post here and on TechNet, honestly my question is "Why does it matter? so what if someone send that content to your multicast DP, how will it hurt anything?" IMO it seems like you are trying to protect yourself from something that will have little to no impact on anything, so why care about this at all? Why not once a month manually clean up the extra content?

Hum it a hard choice but lia is a better picture! Although Niall, IMO the picture above is a better picture of you then your current profile picture. ;-) As the shy person that I'm, I almost never have my picture taken.

So $15 sound like the SRP price, since you don't know the exact price this tell me that you haven't actually evaluated either product. And therefore don't know what volume discounts are available to you. It is a shame that you haven't evaluated either product, did you know that with Nomad, it has WOL option that will wake all of its peers? You are defiantly wrong on the cost for you to create your own ACP, it will never be free, it will cost your time which is NOT free. This is one of my pet peeves, people like to ignore the cost of their time and maintenance over the long term. Don't under estimated how long it will take to create a ACP and integrate it with CM. Based on my experience this will easily be a full time job for months.

If you have 50k of device and only 3 DP, you have a problem. Each DP will only support 4K of device. So by my calculations you are 10 DP short. IMO you should re-evaluation 3rd party solution or at bare minimum look at Branchcache. You need to purchase 10 new servers just to come to a support situation with MS. If you assume that each server is 5k-7k you already have 50-70k of your 3 party solution. Even better yet you never have to worry about network port between network, you only need BITS open from the 2 DP to each LAN segment. Plus you have get PXE point at remote sites too, if needed. If you are not into BDP then use secondary site and DPs on them, Again this will cost $$s, again this is a good case to support 3rd party solutions. IMO don’t turn off BITS this is will allow for checkpoint restarts vs NBT which you will need to start from the begin again. Again, IMO it does not make sense to create your own ACP for CM, why because who will support it over time, Who will update it? How long will it take you to do this vs 3rd party.. Keep in mind, I will not make a dine from either Adaptiva / 1e.

There isn't much more that I can tell you, that is what error message means.

Have you seen this. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/39a6ea3b-e4ba-4d46-930b-f2955a02ec16/sccm-task-sequence-error-code-0x80070570?forum=configmgrgeneral

What does you query look like? If I remember right, the data will get clear out based Aged Inventory History task.

You need to wait for each Service Pack and it will get updated during that process only.

Did you talk to the guys over there to see what they can do to help?

If you want MS to make a change then you should submit the change request via MS connect site.

What is wrong with using the built-in reports and then manually determining the details of the PID? You are only talking about 6 version of the software.. It would take longer to write the query and test it than just manually looking up the 6 version of the software.

This will get you started. http://smsug.ca/blogs/garth_jones/archive/2008/02/04/basic-all-in-one.aspx

When you drill on the folder do you get more folders?

Can you access the report via the web interface? I never recommend accessing via the console too much overhead. Are all reports affected or just some?

You need to setup "relaying" or unauthentic email sending on your Exchange server. Once that is done everything will work great.

Jason is right you are comparing apples and oranges. SSRS does not use SQL mail CM12 Alerts and SSRS report are not the same thing and doesn’t use the same method to send emails This is clearly as Exchange issue. Why do you think that SSRS can send test message, where did you do this action? Have you review the Exchange server logs to see why the email has been rejected?

Without knowing what got changed, there is no supported way to fix this, you need to contact CSS for support or re-build your whole site.

Absolutely, it can be security. CM server itself requires DBO to the db and administer on the SQL server. No exceptions. If you think it is permission, then it is likely someone play with the permission on the SQL server and they has messed up your CM db. This is one of the main reason why I will not recommend having SQL remote from CM itself. IMO you still need to call CCS this is NOT something that anyone can help you with as editing the db is unsupported.

It look like you are having MAJOR SQL problems and therefore you should contact Microsoft Support (CSS) ASAP. This is NOT something that can be handle within the forums.
