    No default boot images available / "Only finalized boot images are supported"

     

    I had this cool error when i upgraded from SCCM 2012 RTM to SP1. Upgrade like a charm apps still deploying, updates still updating.... but wait why my OS deploys not working :D (noticed this later... like days later). During upgrade Mcafee blocked some files in C:\Windows\TEMP\BootImages\{...} in Took me a while before i managed to get bootimages back. There is now a super post about this :)

  6. Step-By-Step Guide to Deploying Lync Server 2010 Enterprise Edition

    in Lync

    Posted

    I'm following this Lync guide...

    DC + Front End + Back End + MA server

     

    I wonder is this all needed or just yours set up

    DC and front server I get

    but back end server en ma server needs to be apart then FE?

     

    any explanation would be helpfull

    thanks guys

    Hei sorry for not answering sooner. If you just install Lync 2010 standard then all u need is dc (as in domain) + 1 server to install Lync itself (standard). If u want high availability then Enterprise version is the way to go. With enterprise you can create pools of frontend servers for instance (with dns triks thouse pools work as load balancing). Also some spoilers from the next version: http://www.zdnet.com...ore-7000001415/ ---> Consolidation of roles; no separate server role needed for monitoring and archiving. Also if memory serves u cant select your own (remote) sql when using Standard (this could be lie as i dont remember no longer).

  7. SCCM 2012 and PKI

    in Configuration Manager 2012

    Posted

    Found this super post about certificates in sccm 2012: http://msandbu.wordp...m-2012-and-pki/

     

    This is going to be a huge post, but hopefully someone will find it useful for future references wlemoticon-smile.png?w=630

    In my previous SCCM 2012 post, I showed how-to install SCCM, but not how to configure it for encrypted communication.

    So out-of-the box SCCM traffic goes unencrypted via HTTP, which is clear text. So if you manage to get inside the LAN, fire up an arpspoof or macof (or any other MITM method) you can

    read the traffic going back and fourth from the client to the site servers. So therefore I’m going to show you how to install your very own Microsoft PKI infrastructure and how you enroll the different types of Certificates that you need in order for SCCM to encrypt traffic.

    Before I start, I want to show you how I designed my lab for this demo. This is in a fully virtual lab environment, much of the setup I do here is not “Best Practice” but in order to make this post readable, I wanted to keep it as short as I possibly could. I have excluded much of the setup regarding CRL, OSCP and config files (If you are unfamiliar with these terms go to this page http://technet.micro...393(WS.10).aspx )

  8. Deploy Lync 2010 by SCCM 2007

    in How do I ?

    Posted

    Hi

     

    I have been deployng lync clients with sccm for months now. All u need to do make a package and set the installer to run just on specified client platworms. You can find it under: Package -> installer --> requirements (dont have time to upload image of it at the moment). After that when u made advertisment it only runs on x86 or x64 :)

  11. using SCCM 2012 in a LAB - Part 7. Build and Capture Windows 7 X64

    in Configuration Manager 2012

    I seem to be having almost the same issue. I also double checked the steps shown above. The message I'm getting is: PXE-E53: No boot filename received PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM Operating System not found This message definitely seems to point something in CM, maybe I did miss something, but I just can't pin point it.

     

    In my case this happens on 2 reasons:

    1) u havent put the computer to the correct advertisment collection

    2) there are no pxe boot files in the pxe server (several ways to correct this, but i found it is just simpler to copy from another pxe server the files and it works :) kinda silly way to fix but i like it.)

    What are some new features of GC in Lync?

     

    The first big change is the Lync GC client has be re-written to support Lync standards such as it leverages the Unified Communications Client Platform (UCCP) API and Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API (UCMA) 3.0.

    1881.image_5F00_thumb_5F00_182E44F8.png

    The look and feel are similar to GC in OCS R2 however there are some changes:

    The Group Chat user interface and its accompanying icons, including its emoticons, have been upgraded and resized to match the Lync 2010 Group Chat user interface. Colors, notifications have been enhanced as well.

    8233.image_5F00_thumb_5F00_5502C6CA.png

    Can open multiple GC windows

    0825.image_5F00_thumb_5F00_2AD318E2.png

     

    Tweaks to the Ego filter such as:

    The Ego filter no longer triggers whenever you type “IT”; for example, “Sara Davis (IT Dept)”. The text can be excluded only if the “bracket pair” in question is closed. For example:

    • “Sara Davis (IT Dept)” becomes “Sara Davis”
    • “Sara Davis (IT Dept” becomes “Sara Davis IT Dept”
    • “Sara Davis [iT Dept (HR Unit)” becomes “Sara Davis IT Dept”

    Other enhancements include:

    Unicode support – Support for Arabic, Chinese, and other UTF-8 languages
