  1. The bad news is that we were not successful at figuring this out elegantly. In the end we bit the bullet and rebuilt the cluster in the following way. If I recall, we removed one node leaving only one node in the cluster (our SQL Server SKU allowed only two nodes in the cluster at any time). We then did a fresh install of Windows and SQL Server and then added this new node to the cluster. Then we repeated for the other node — remove, reinstall, re-add the new node. Hopefully your answer @chrisjones123is more successful than the destructive approach we took. I unfortunately no longer have this setup to try your suggestion on!
  2. All site maintenance has been completed successfully. Thank you for your patience!
  3. Smoothwall Express will be OK for labs, but the folks at Smoothwall haven't updated this "community" edition of their product since 2014, in contrast to their commercial offerings (still based on open source, although I think they need to update that page). I'd be worried about security with a firewall product this out-of-date for any production use! I'd recommend something like PFSense that gets regular updates! 👍 I've used PFSense on Hyper-V in some production environments for a while — it works beautifully! Niall has pointed out on YouTube that there are post-install updates apparently still offered at https://sourceforge.net/projects/smoothwall/files/SmoothWall%20Updates/3.1/
  4. A quick update on this — it seems likely that something is wrong with our SQL Server Cluster. I spun up a new one-node Failover Cluster to test this, and found that the PIPE\winreg endpoint did work on this new cluster. I think that makes it fairly clear that this should work and that the problem lies with our SQL Server cluster and not with ConfigMgr. So, we will look at trying to fix the SQL Server Cluster!
  5. Don't try this at home -- obviously this is thoroughly unsupported. I was able to use API Monitor to set a breakpoint on the RegConnectRegistryA API call being made by smsexec.exe and cmupdate.exe and patch the machine name that it's trying to connect to the registry at to point at DB-Cluster instead of DB-Cluster-SQL. There were several calls to RegConnectRegistryA which caused the breakpoint to be hit. Each time, I expanded the string argument for lpMachineName and updated the value (fortunately a shorter string) to point to the correct machine. The prereq check is now happy (albeit suggesting it's OS 6.3 i.e. Windows Server 2012 R2, which is perhaps because this is a legacy check?)! We're obviously cagey about now doing the upgrade from this unsupported state, but I hope this demonstrates the issue really clearly — it is just this particular way of communicating with the registry on the SQL Server cluster that causes the prereq check to fail.

  6. Possibly similar... the SMS_HIERARCHY_MANAGER's hman.log says: The following port [1433,4022,] tcp firewall exception not active on SQL Server [DB-Cluster-SQL.*****]. At this exact time, the smsexec.exe with that same thread ID from hman.log above uses the named pipe to try and evaluate the firewall options on the wrong hostname again, just like the prereq check.
  7. A little background. We have: a single site server (Windows Server 2016 1607) running the various CM roles (CM 1906, site version 5.0.8853.1000) a two-node Windows Server 2019 cluster hosting SQL Server 2016 for the site database server The database cluster has a shared hostname and IP address for the Windows cluster computer object itself (DB-Cluster.our-domain) and another shared hostname and IP address for the SQL Server role (DB-Cluster-SQL.our-domain). We've not had any previous issues with this setup for the last few updates to ConfigMgr, but when attempting to upgrade to 1910, the prerequisites check is failing. ===== INFO: Prerequisite Type & Server: SQL:DB-Cluster-SQL..********* ===== $$<Configuration Manager Prereq><01-10-2020 09:54:31.766+00><thread=11992 (0x2ED8)> <<<RuleCategory: Access Permissions>>> $$<Configuration Manager Prereq><01-10-2020 09:54:31.766+00><thread=11992 (0x2ED8)> <<<CategoryDesc: Checking access permissions...>>> $$<Configuration Manager Prereq><01-10-2020 09:54:31.782+00><thread=11992 (0x2ED8)> INFO: Prerequisite rule 'SQL Server sysadmin rights' will run for easysetup upgrade. $$<Configuration Manager Prereq><01-10-2020 09:54:31.782+00><thread=11992 (0x2ED8)> DB-Cluster-SQL..*********; SQL Server sysadmin rights; Passed $$<Configuration Manager Prereq><01-10-2020 09:54:31.782+00><thread=11992 (0x2ED8)> INFO: Prerequisite rule 'SQL Server sysadmin rights for reference site' will run for easysetup upgrade. $$<Configuration Manager Prereq><01-10-2020 09:54:31.797+00><thread=11992 (0x2ED8)> DB-Cluster-SQL..*********; SQL Server sysadmin rights for reference site; Passed $$<Configuration Manager Prereq><01-10-2020 09:54:31.797+00><thread=11992 (0x2ED8)> INFO: Prerequisite rule 'Site server computer account administrative rights' will run for easysetup upgrade. $$<Configuration Manager Prereq><01-10-2020 09:54:31.828+00><thread=11992 (0x2ED8)> INFO: Retrieving the list of nodeS for cluster <DB-Cluster-SQL..*********> $$<Configuration Manager Prereq><01-10-2020 09:54:31.828+00><thread=11992 (0x2ED8)> CSql Error: Cannot find data for connection type: CLUSTER_NODE_LIST, cannot get a connection. $$<Configuration Manager Prereq><01-10-2020 09:54:31.828+00><thread=11992 (0x2ED8)> INFO: Retrieved nodes: <DB02,DB01> $$<Configuration Manager Prereq><01-10-2020 09:54:31.891+00><thread=11992 (0x2ED8)> INFO: CheckLocalSys is Admin of <DB02>. $$<Configuration Manager Prereq><01-10-2020 09:54:31.891+00><thread=11992 (0x2ED8)> INFO: smstsvc.exe source path is set to E:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT CONFIGURATION MANAGER\CMUSTAGING\E2F7B2F9-4828-4650-9144-5DC7956781B7\SMSSETUP\BIN\X64 $$<Configuration Manager Prereq><01-10-2020 09:54:31.891+00><thread=11992 (0x2ED8)> INFO: File \\?\C:\WINDOWS\smstsvc_test_1.exe does not exist.

Sysinternals Process Monitor reveals that at this stage, the prereq check is trying to access \\DB-Cluster-SQL.our-domain\PIPE\winreg. The Remote Registry service is running on the database hosts and has permissions that permit the user running the prereq check. Accessing the Remote Registry using \\DB-Cluster.our-domain\PIPE\winreg (the Windows cluster name, instead of -SQL) works fine. Other parts of the prereq check appear to use WMI on the DB-Cluster-SQL hostname to access the registry remotely and this works. When this check uses the named pipe instead (and the wrong hostname??), it fails. The failure to access the registry appears to result in this prereq check believing we're running OS version 0 which is an "unsupported OS". Around the internet, similar issues seem to point to remote registry service, or permissions on it, or permissions on the SQL Server, none of which don't seem to be our issue. Does anyone have any ideas on how we might figure this out? We'd like to avoid completely changing our SQL Server infrastructure just to get past this when it's been working fine (including several SCCM upgrades previously)!
  8. I have upgraded Windows-Noob.com today to the latest and greatest version of the IPS Community Suite. We are now on version 4. Among all the other features, this should significantly improve your experience when accessing the site on mobile devices thanks to the responsive theme. If there are any issues that you notice, please post in the Suggestion box.
  9. We have followed the new steps in KB3194588 and, in particular, the new database steps as @RLC-Andrew points out: declare @NotNeededFiles table (FileDigest binary(20) UNIQUE); insert into @NotNeededFiles(FileDigest) (select FileDigest from tbFile where FileName like '%14393%.esd' except select FileDigest from tbFileForRevision); delete from tbFileOnServer where FileDigest in (select FileDigest from @NotNeededFiles) delete from tbFile where FileDigest in (select FileDigest from @NotNeededFiles) It works now! I repeat myself from above, but for clarity here is what we did, in full: Removed the test deployments of the Feature Update Removed the Servicing Plan associated with those deployments (so there are no Servicing Plans) Removed the Deployment Package that Servicing Plan was attached to Deleted the folder associated with that Deployment Package from the disk Rebooted the SCCM & WSUS server Altered the SUP configuration to remove the "Upgrades" classification (Administration > Sites > (Primary site) > Configure Site Components > Software Update Point > Classifications) Altered the WSUS configuration to also not include the "Upgrades" classification: Get-WsusClassification | Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.Classification.Title -Eq "Upgrades"} | Set-WsusClassification -Disable [reference] Ran a Synchronize Software Updates from Software Library > All Software Updates in the SCCM console. Verified that the Upgrades category is off in both SCCM console and WSUS. Removed updates with PowerShell:$s = Get-WsusServer $s.SearchUpdates("version 1607") | Foreach { Write-Host $_.Id.UpdateId; $s.DeleteUpdate($_.Id.UpdateId) } $s.SearchUpdates("version 1511, version 10586") | Foreach { Write-Host $_.Id.UpdateId; $s.DeleteUpdate($_.Id.UpdateId) } Ran the WSUS Server Cleanup Wizard with only "unneeded update files" checked. Ran a Synchronize Software Updates from Software Library > All Software Updates in the SCCM console. Rebooted the SCCM/WSUS server. Altered the SUP configuration to add the "Upgrades" classification (Administration > Sites > (Primary site) > Configure Site Components > Software Update Point > Classifications) Ran the following SQL on the SUSDB:declare @NotNeededFiles table (FileDigest binary(20) UNIQUE); insert into @NotNeededFiles(FileDigest) (select FileDigest from tbFile where FileName like '%14393%.esd' except select FileDigest from tbFileForRevision); delete from tbFileOnServer where FileDigest in (select FileDigest from @NotNeededFiles) delete from tbFile where FileDigest in (select FileDigest from @NotNeededFiles) Ran a Synchronize Software Updates from Software Library > All Software Updates in the SCCM console. Created a new servicing plan "Windows 10 Education 1607 Servicing Plan". It uses a new deployment package. Clicked Run now on this new Servicing Plan. Verified that the content download is in progress: Verified that the two expected upgrades (en-us and en-gb that matched our rule when previewed) are "Downloaded". (Not "Deployed" yet) Got impatient and ran a Software Update point synchronisation to try and get the deployment to appear. Verified that the two expected upgrades are now "Downloaded" and "Deployed": Went to a client that is in the deployed collection and cleared the CCM cache from the Control Panel UI Deleted C:\~WINDOWS.BT from the client (from its previous upgrade attempt) Ran all the Action cycles in the Control Panel UI for the ConfigMgr client Went to Software Center > Updates > Windows 10 Feature Update... and ran the upgrade. The install process then proceeded, with Software Center then requesting a restart. The test client system then restarted into the WinPE part of the upgrade process (what formerly was the "Donut of Destiny" screen). The upgrade completely successfully!
  10. I've now also: Created a new servicing plan "Windows 10 Education 1607 Servicing Plan". It uses a new deployment package. Clicked Run now on this new Servicing Plan. Verified that the content download is in progress: Verified that the two expected upgrades (en-us and en-gb that matched our rule when previewed) are "Downloaded".

We still see the same error on the client after the download and install attempt. Really trying to avoid a SUP reinstall if possible!
  11. Here's what we've done: Removed the test deployments of the Feature Update Removed the Servicing Plan associated with those deployments (so there are no Servicing Plans) Removed the Deployment Package that Servicing Plan was attached to Deleted the folder associated with that Deployment Package from the disk Rebooted the SCCM & WSUS server Altered the SUP configuration to remove the "Upgrades" classification (Administration > Sites > (Primary site) > Configure Site Components > Software Update Point > Classifications) Altered the WSUS configuration to also not include the "Upgrades" classification: Get-WsusClassification | Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.Classification.Title -Eq "Upgrades"} | Set-WsusClassification -Disable [reference] Ran a Synchronize Software Updates from Software Library > All Software Updates in the SCCM console.

Altered the SUP configuration to add the "Upgrades" classification (Administration > Sites > (Primary site) > Configure Site Components > Software Update Point > Classifications) Ran a Synchronize Software Updates from Software Library > All Software Updates in the SCCM console. I've run out of time to continue with this today, so I will update this post when we try to deploy again...
  12. Indeed: our deployment is for the Feature Update to Windows 10 Education 1607. The en-us and en-gb versions of that SKU are the only upgrades downloaded. Our machines believe they are on en-us language pack(?) (although we have UK regional settings). Our Servicing Plan rule: The results of previewing this: Our deployments to two collections:
  13. We are experiencing an issue trying to install the 1607 Feature Update using a Windows 10 Servicing Plan in ConfigMgr CB (5.0.8412.1000). We have a simple single server SCCM infrastructure. The required KB3159706 has been installed on the server, and the additional steps in "More information" at the bottom of that KB article have also been carried out. We've cleared the download of the Feature Update and downloaded it again after verifying the steps. Both the WSUS site and the Configuration Manager site in IIS have the .esd mimetype set to application/vnd.ms-cab-compressed. The deployment appears on clients (5.00.8412.1007 CCM client), and downloads the 2 GB or so judging by the time taken, but fails to apply. We never get to reboot into the WinPE(?) stage to perform the upgrade.

  14. Some of you may have already noticed, but we have a new logo here for Windows-Noob.com. Since our previous 'lifering' style design with the four Windows colours was introduced, a new era of Windows and its visual style is upon us. The red, green, blue, yellow flag is now the Microsoft logo, rather than just for Windows, while the OS itself gets the blue, leaning 'window' design. So, to reflect this new era that Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 brings, Windows-Noob's logo now echoes the new design, while staying true to its 'noob' roots with the "just hatched" design. The 'favicon' should now also render beautifully in several different sizes if your browser is able to take advantage of that, too. We'd love to know your thoughts on the new logo, and hope it helps keep Windows-Noob fresh and with the current developments in the Windows world!
