  1. Hello, I have recently trying to learn how to complete reports based on ADR Rules for Windows Updates as well as Office Updates. I run it against a ADR for a specific date (patch tues) against All System. I am running one Called Software Updates - A Compliance. When i do so the report comes bac with 3 states Compliant - Compliance state unknown and Non-Compliant. Just trying to understand what these mean with regards to if the clients have received the required updates. Trying to figure out the difference between the 3: Does the following mean Compliant - They received all of the updates required? Compliance State Unknown - Don't know the status at this time if updates have been installed? Non-Compliant - Never received the updates? Trying to figure at what compliant really means? Thanks for you help... Craig T
  2. What i am getting on the server where SCCM resides is this error message. Wondering if this could be the issue, Saying that the permissions on the directory are incorrect. Any help would be greatly appreicated.. Craig
  3. In my organization we use ADR Rules for monthly software patching and have been doing so for the last 2-3 years. I noticed for the Month of February 2024 that there has been no updates pushed. I see not errors for the ADR for Windows 10 updates in the console. However when I check show members in the deployment packages for it shows only the pervious month of updates dating back to patch tues on Jan 9, 2024. How my ADR are setup from the beginning is to check and download 2 days later on that thurs which was the last time it downloaded any updates which was Jan 11, 2024. I did try recreating a test ADR rule with the same outcome figuring it was an issue with the ADR that we have been using for quite sometime. I have checked the ruleengine.log file and there are a couple of errors which when i look up online there is not alot of information out there. Very general. Here is one of the errors CRuleHandler::CreateFailureAlert - Alert ID = 16777448 SMS_RULE_ENGINE 3/1/2024 10:03:20 AM 10100 (0x2774) I have attached a screenshot of the ruleengine.log file for your viewing. Any help would be greatly appreciated as i need to get this patches applied for the month of Feb. Thank you, Craig
  4. Hello, We are currently running MECM 2309 and I have a couple of co-workers in my IT department that would like to manually reboot their system after the end time we have set to reboot systems after the required time which is currently set to 48 hours. They are running certain processes on their PC's that have sometimes in the past halted their processes due to a reboot. Is there a way to single out 1 or 2 machines not get the required reboot after updates have been applied? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Craig
  5. Thanks again for your help. What i did was I downloaded the WINPE from this link https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000108642/winpe-10-driver-pack Created a driver package called it WinPE x64 A32 and then loaded it into the new boot image which appeared to inject the drivers successfully. I assume that is all the the network and storage drivers for most if not all dell models. One question is when i create a new boot image it ask me what directory so i added it to the currrent .wim file that was associated with the other boot image. I am not sure if i am suppose to do this or should I create a new .wim file for the boot image. Essentally i just pointed it at the same .wim file as the previous boot image was pointing to. I assume it loads all the the drivers into that wim file for pxe boot? I have one dell model still after do all of this when i pxe boot it just brings up the configuration manager screen with no wizard to continue to name the machine and pick the task sequence and it eventually reboots. I would think it points to the network or storage driver. Any thoughts... If i connect a docking station or a usb ethernet it works fine. It has the Intel 219-LM Nic. I loaded the latest version of the driver in the boot image and still no luck. Thanks, Craig
  6. Is this common to have duplicate drivers in the boot image as seen in the picture. Is it okay to have mulitple versions or should i just have the latest version as well there are multiple drivers with the same version. Not sure if this can cause issues or not. Thanks
  7. Another question would i unchecked the deploy this boot image from a pxe enabled distribution point and enable command prompt testing on the older boot image that was used previously? Thank you, Craig
  8. Thank you so much for this. You have helped me so much. One question is when you start pxe boot how does it know what boot image to use due to the fact you don't pick the task sequence until after you are booted into configuration manager? If you can clarify that for me that would be much appreicated. It is my general thinking that you would use the proper boot image before you pick a task sequence as the computer model would need the correct network drivers to pxe boot. Thank you, Craig
  9. Thanks I will try that. It was suggested that i create another boot image which i dont think that is the case as i have surpassed the winpe. One question when you create a new boot image and do you tell it to use that boot image. I cannot find it anywhere in configuration manager. Thanks Craig
  10. Hello, Recently we have be having issues deploying task sequences on some dell models one being the precision 3660. When deploying Windows 10 22H2 on the 3660 it boots and goes through some of the task sequence I assume and then it hangs on waiting with the circle going around. This may happen for a day or two finally windows will be installed however it has not finished the task sequence as it has not joined the domain and installed any software in the steps of the task sequence. The local administrator account is enabled and i can logon and i check the device manager and all devices drivers there are no conflicts there. I have tried injecting the network drivers in the boot image which is successful but i get the same outcome. If we plug an external usb ethernet adapter or use a dell docking station it appears that it will work however it hangs for sometime and will eventually finish the task sequence. So as a test i created a task sequence with Windows 11 23h2 grab the driver pack from dell created the driver and did not inject any drivers into the boot image. I ran the task sequence and had no issues all of the software was loaded joined to domain and so forth. I did use the internal ethernet card with no issues. I am at a loss here and been trying to find a fix for this for sometime now. The current version of Configuration Manager is 2309 and the ADK and PE is 10.1.18362.1. I am thinking of upgrading the ADK to the latest version of Windows 11 which we are currently not deploying at the moment only as a test case. Would anyone have any suggestions as to if they would think this maybe the issue or should i be looking elsewhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thank you, Craig
  11. Hello, I am trying to push a task sequence to one of our labs of 30 machines. I have created a device collection and added the devices to the collection. I then created a task sequence which i know it works if i pxeboot from a machine. and i set it to required outside the maintenance window and I said to systems with the configuration manger client which is installed on the machines. For some reason it is not pushing. I am trying to find out what logs to look at to see if i can find out why it is not working. I assume the log files should be on the server side as there hasn't been anything happening on the client side. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Craig
  12. Hi, I am working in a university and we want to apply PC Shared Mode to about 150 public labs systems. I have created the ppkg with Windows Configuration designer and will push it out with SCCM once tested. I am having issues applying it to our labs computers. I tried installing it with a powershell command please see attachment with command and error it gets. I also tried installing it within the GUI interface under access your work or school. Its shows error on the provisioning package please see screenshot. I did some investigating online to see if I could generate some MDM log files and it shows to click on the the domain account and there should be a info tab but there is no tab there. I also have a screenshot of this attached as well. To give you some background information these systems due to the nature of some of the specialized software required we had to install all the software and then use capture media through SCCM. We had some issues with the microsoft store apps that it couldn't be pre-provisioned for all users when the capture media tired to run sysprep. So we had to run a powershell script to remove all windows store apps, disable the microsoft store in order to capture the media. I am thinking this may have something to do with why the preprovisioned package (PC Shared Mode) will not work. I know the package works due to the fact I can take the same machine and install another task sequence and it installs without any issues. Any Help or insight as to how i would fix this issue or obtain log files would be greatly appreicated. I have searched and search online and I cannot find any solutions. Thank you, Craig

  14. Hello, I am trying to push a task sequence to approx 100 computers (Dell Precison 3620. I have create a device collection and added those systems to the device collection. I create a task sequence and deployed it as required. It don't seem to work. However if I manually pxe boot it does come up with that task sequence. My question i have is we have a password set for task sequences. Would this be causing the issue? Thanks, Craig
  15. Hi Naill, I was reading an article on how to do this a they showed the limiting collection to All Systems. They made me concerned as well if I hit the wrong button so to speak and deployed it to the whole organization. I have since changed this. Thank you for clarifying that. Yes the computer is in the collection I just checked it again. It is the only one in there right now. I checked to make sure that I entered the correct MAC and GUID while importing it into SCCM. The task sequence is deployed to Only Media & PXE. These are brand new systems and don't have the client installed. Do I need to install the client? I am thinking that I should be able to force a PXE on the system. You can clarify that for me. Secure mode is turned on and the network stack is enabled. I am thinking where it is required i shouldn't have to reboot the machine myself it should do it automatically. Any help or advice would be greatly appreicated. Thank you, Craig
  16. Hello, I have approx 100 Dell 3620 Precision systems that I need a task sequence pushed out to. Right now I am in the testing phase. 1. I added the machine by mac address using a .csv and gave it a name which worked sucessful 2. I create a device collection and made my limiting collection to all systems 3. I added that system to that device collection 4. I made my task sequence which is tested and working and deployed it as required set the time for it to be pushed with no expiry date. 5. There has been no activity to that machine My question is there something that I may be missing and are there any log files on the server that i can look at to find out what the issue is? Thank you, Craig
  17. Hello, I work in a university and we have to upgrade all of our classrooms and labs from office 2013 to office 2016. I tired a couple of different ways to do it. One was removing previous versions of office through the Microsoft Office Customization Tool which removes most of the office applications but not all. When you go to the start menu it shows Microsoft Office 2013 with the remaining products that were not uninstalled and office 2016 which will be confusing to the end user. Open office 2016 (Word, Excel, PP, Outlook, etc.) works fine but we also have word perfect installed on there so the first time you open one of the office applications it asks do you want office to be the default program. Is there a way via script or registry key I can make it default so the end user will not be prompted? Another question is there a way to remove the remaining office 2013 office programs? The second way i tried it was to use the office scrubb script to remove the office first then install 2016 which removes all of the previous version of office however when you open one of the applications in office 2016 it says please waiting to configure office which can take 5 mins and then it requires a reboot to complete. After the reboot when opening one of the office applications it shows configuring office which is about another 5 mins then it opens asking if you want it as the default program you say ok and it works fine. This will be very confusing and too many steps for the end user. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have to push this out to 150 computers and I don't want to have to log into each one to do the initial setup when running office first which defeats the whole purpose of SCCM if i have to do so. Thank you, Craig
  18. Hello, I am working in a university and we currently have office 2013 32 bit in our classrooms and we what to install office 2016 64 bit. Can anyone give me some insight of the best way of removing office 2013. I have been reading online and some said to use offscrb in order to do this. Reading through the article it kind of lost me as it was not clear how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Craig
  19. Hi, Lately I have been having issues with some of my task sequences fail on installing driver packages. Even the task sequences that were previously working on the same model machine. We created another step in install drivers where it goes to the SCCM server to look for the drivers. My concern if it is getting the proper drivers or if it is just the generic drivers for that particular model. Does anyone have any insight to why this is happening all of a sudden. I have attached the step where it goes out a polls the SCCM server for the drivers. Thanks, Craig
  20. Hello, I have been having issues only on some models of task sequences. What happens in this instance I have a Dell Optiplex 5050 and I have a good known task sequence working in our environment that I use on other models we have. I take the task sequence copy it rename it to the model and then go to the vendor and download the driver package, create the driver package in SCCM distribute the content to the DP and then add it to the task sequence. What is happening it is only installing the OS and it does not proceed to the other steps like joining the domain, installing the software list in the task sequence. However it does install the Configuration Manager Client on the system. When I run the task sequence after trying several things I decided i would watch the whole process so I sat in front of the screen and it looking like everything was being installed it looks like all the steps went through without any errors. When the system reboots I can logon as local admin but there is no software install or domain joined. I look into the device manager and it appears that the drivers installed. I am at a loss here. I may take the same model and it may work. This has happened to me with other models I have had. If anyone can shed some light on what the issue could be it would be greatly appreciated. I have attached a screenshot of the task sequence for you viewing. Thanks, Craig Note: In the task sequence you will see the install application step greyed out I thought it may be the reason why the software packages were not installing due to the fact they were under the one step so I added each software package as a individual step as you can see.
  21. Hi Community, I work at a university and I have some specialized software that I am trying to install in a task sequence using zero touch. These programs require some interaction like asking for a password and then clicking next and following the bouncing ball until you finish. Both files are .exe Do you know of anyway to customize having all of this information without user interaction. Or if there is a product you could recommend. One of the programs is HydroComp and the other one is GHS Companion. Or is there some type of program that i can record my steps and then save that as a configuration file? I have tried the silent and quiet switches but all it does is it opens up the UI in order to complete the installation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Craig
  22. Thanks for the post I finally found a solution and it worked for me using a powershell script and creating a package. Here is the link. https://msitproblog.com/2015/10/14/enabling-net-framework-3-5-1-in-windows-10-osd-using-configuration-manager/ Thank you, Craig
  23. Hi, I have some cad programs that require .net 3.5 on many clients windows 10. I have tried many things running it from the cmd prompt in a task srquence and I am not successful. I have written a batch file that works when I run it on a local machine. The only thing is UAC prompts you to hit ok which when running on a local machine is fine. However when I run it as a batch file in a task sequence you can see that it appears to run with no errors. I guess it is waiting for UAC to say ok. Is there a way in the batch file to automate that to say ok in order if it to proceed. Or if there is another way to do this please share. I have attached the batch file which you will see if run if you click on it. But you have to click Ok for UAC and it finishes the batch file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Craig dotnet.bat
  24. Hi, Yes I am trying to do it using a command but it does not run. Please see my attached pic and see if there is anything in the command link or anything else I am missing. I did try to run it on a local machine in the cmd prompt and it was successful. I am thinking I am missing some here in sccm.
