  1. First of all, the ConfigMgr agent will never automatically remove software. It will only remove software if you deployed something that would perform the removal. Also, yes, you can configure an Application in ConfigMgr to detect the installation of an application, even if it's not installed through ConfigMgr. A good detection method is the key.

    true, I know. But when you are deploying a new version and you're replacing the old version (supersede) then it will remove and install the new version - I assume... (assuming that we create a relation between both applications and retire the old application) ? But also, each MSI has it own key product, correct? So if I install a new version, the key product will be different - I also assume? If for some reason I'm not using MSI and I've to lookup for files that can tell me the right version of the product, I would test the DLL or EXE for each version and compare on each side...

  2. Hi all,

     

    Doubt:

     

    deploying an application that already exists in your workplace (let's say Google Chrome) and now you've to deploy a new version BUT, like I said, the application already exists in your workplace and it wasn't deployed in the past by CM.

     

    If I deploy an application that already exists, will the agent remove and install this new version or in the detection method I've to add additional methods (like file versions or something else) to make sure the application is installed?

     

    example: google chrome version 44 and now you need to install the 46.

     

    Thank you all!

  3. If you have installed a new ADK, yes you've to recreate MDT boot images. And yet, you can still used the old ones, but I'm pretty sure that if you try to used them with Windows 10, the TS will fail.

     

    The current Tasks Sequence will continue to work as they are. If you add a new TS to build and capture or to install Win10 image, then you have to use a boot image from the ADK10 and not from the old.

     

    Got it? :)

  4. Hi all,

     

    Following your guides on here a few years ago we got SCCM 2012 up and running and last year upgraded it to SP1.

     

    I recall at the time having to re-do some of the boot images etc.

     

    We've just upgraded to SP2 which all went fine, however we can no longer PXE boot - we have installed/upgraded to MDT 2013 and moved to the Windows 10 ADK...the point of the upgrade was to allow us to look at Windows 10 deployment which I believe needed these two additional steps. I assume(s) we can also still roll out Windows 7 which we were successfully doing before.

     

    What are the expected next steps I should be doing to ensure the Win7 PXE boot still works? At the moment no boot image is being sent out when I try a PXE boot on a networked computer, but all the boot images still exist in the SCCM console as before.

     

    Hopefully I can get this bit sorted as at the moment it all looks fine within the console but I'm guessing I've missed a step :)

     

    Thanks,

    Hi Chris,

     

    I think it'll depend in the order how you install things.

     

    I've done like this and didn't had any issues, nor have to add the boot images manually or change PXE settings:

     

    - remove adk 8 and install adk 10 rtm

    - install CM SP1/CUxx

    - Restart server

     

    Doing like this, the upgrade package should add automatically the boot images and you shouldn't have any problems. Nevertheless, I've read in some forums where something went wrong and people had to add manually the boot image, change PXE, etc. But keep it simple like this and you should be fine! :)

     

    Regarding MDT I think you need to recreate the images (using the MDT to create a new boot image, new packages and settings). Don't forget to distribute the content.

     

    P.s. use ADK 10 RTM and not 10.0.10586.0

  5. install the ADK RTM, otherwise you will get into a lot of problems.

     

    Regarding the point 4, I guess you have to create new boot images, packages and settings.

    Have fun! :)

  6. Thanks for the reply -

     

    I guess it's just a big change from the environment I'm used to. This morning I created an IEAK IE11 installer which was 160mb on my workstation. When copying it to the source share on the primary (to create an Application) it took about 90 seconds. Just used to it taking about 2. What I don't understand is how OSD and larger apps are going to work well (plus have the perfomance they expect) in this environment.

     

    Also, you said "Make sure you don't "distribute content"". To any of the 3 total DPs? Whatchoo talkin about Willis? (For those unfamilier, a reference to an 80's show: Different Strokes)

     

    Thanks

    What I meant was... Don't redistribute content many times, because the packages or programs will be distributed to your DPs and sites... (unless you really need it... )

     

    If you start a TS and the content is already distributed in all sites, then the traffic that you will see between your client (that is running the TS) is connecting to your MP and Primary site.... You can always schedule the moment that your DPs can distribute the content and I think you can also create priorities:

    Have a nice weekend! :)

  7. I am having problems too. SCCM is 2012R2 SP1 CU2 so fully up to date.

     

    I thought the driver install was working as most drivers are installed but they are not the W10 ones I have added.

     

    It is picking older drivers in preference to newer W10 drivers in some but not all cases.

     

    This is across 3 models of hardware so far, Surface 3, Lenovo X240 and HP 800 G1. All of these have manufacturer support for Windows 10.

     

    I am about to log a Premier call on this so will report back.

    does the driver have a installer ? Like a MSI ? You can always create a package with that installer and run it after the agent is installed. That's another approach to the issue.. :)

  8. I good one is..:

     

    - updates are installed only during maintenance window;

    - reboot is suppress;

    - pop-up message 60 minutes (configured in the agent settings (restart));

     

    But of course this also depends on the risk and importance of each department. For low-risk areas/departments:

     

    - updates are installed at the deadline;

    - reboot is not suppress;

    - pop-up messages to restart in 90 min (check the agent configuration again and maybe create a different policy for low-risk devices);

     

    but again... it all depends on your requirements and what is defined as patch plan (written and communicate) ;)

  9. Driver-signing policy cannot be configured on this operating system. An administrator must always authorize the installation of unsigned drivers or a driver from a publisher that is not yet trusted. OSDDriverClient 2/9/2016 9:29:16 PM 1444 (0x05A4)

     

    Doesn't this means that you have allow unattended installation for unsigned drivers?! I would suggest to install the driver as a package program... But that's me! ;)

  10. use the monitoring, deployments run summarization for that deployment. However, you should consult the execmgr.log and troubleshoot if there are any issues with that package! Check if you don't have maintenance windows set for some of the computers, otherwise the packages/applications won't run ;)

     

    p.s. look at the "maximum time" that the program or application can run, otherwise it can conflict with your maintenance window! ;)

    Hello all:
    A couple of weeks ago I received a 7270 for deployment testing. My company currently runs SCCM 2012 SP1 (not R2/no CU's) with the ADK for Windows 8.0 and we deploy to a variety of Dell laptops including the 7240 and 7250. When I tried to boot the 7270 using our existing boot media it did not detect the network adapter.
    I downloaded the latest WinPE driver pack from Dell, injected the drivers into our boot image, and still no luck. I then created a WinPE using the ADK for Windows 10. Booting from this image also resulted in the network adapter not being detected, but when I injected the Dell WinPE drivers manually it finally showed network connectivity.
    Figuring the necessary network driver is definitely in the WinPE driver pack from Dell, I have tried several different tests to get the driver into our boot image for OSD to no avail.
    Is anyone else testing the 7270 and having any luck?

     

    what version of ADK10?

  12. ah I forgot you are using CM1511 ? that's a bug.... as explained here

    Oh jesus!!! One day I'll be bald... this is a huge time consuming just for small bugs in the CM1511... At least I learn for myself that ccmrepair during the TS resolves the issue or if you capture the image manually (using your guide step by step) the bug is not there and the image works perfectly! Thanks again Niall!
