  1. Hi Is it possible to migrate from Windows XP x86 to Windows 7 x64 ? Like... Backup Wipe everything Fresh x64 image
  2. Does this help? http://www.petervanderwoude.nl/post/configmgr-2007-updating-a-windows-7-image-with-the-latest-software-updates-%E2%80%93-a-less-conventional-but-very-effective-way/
  3. Yes there is no reason why not to use a task sequence. You can use it also for installation of alot of applications. Only thing is that you need to have the program to run as SYSTEM to be able to access it from task sequence.But again as you point out you can run it as a different user and it will hide the credentials. When you run a command line you can make it hidden, hence hiding any info to the user.
  4. Well since is a command running from command prompt you could create a program having "cmd /c runas <parameters> <your program>. You can see the options available for RUNAS from a command prompt. And yes you can run the task sequence. Right click on the task sequence and select advertise. This will create an advertisment for your TS.
  5. Oh now i get what you wanted to achieve. My bad. What about using the runas command so it will start the installation as administrator?
  6. Hi some more info: The upgrade ID is the same no matter the language, at least on Firefox Msi. But when i view the Resourse Explorer the product ID is Mozilla Firefox (Version) oh well
  7. The script says that package not found so i don't think that continue on error will work. is as if its different upgradecode. Will check again. Well we use IE cause its manageable at work and ofcourse users can not use anything else since im blocking them from the proxy We are mean...
  8. Hi thanks for replying. I actually made a collection based on Add/Remove Programs having %Firefox% installed so i know they have the program. but with the condition removed as well it does not work for a majority. Will have a look again on Monday and let you know if i found anything else.
  9. Hi again. Do you know a way to find any version of a program without the localization. As you can see from my screenshot i am able to uninstall all Firefox en-US but it is failing for GB. Only way is to edit my msi with an msi editor? What is the reason of having a condition if we want to uninstall all versions? If i remove the condition it can not find the software on the client to uninstall it.
  10. Thanks. was thinking of a way to have a general uninstall program for specific software like all versions of Firefox/Chrome. Could use the Uninstall part and keep the next part for future reference. Great post
  11. If the server has two nics you can connect them with two switches and connect your clients on the switch you want them to work. Thats the simplest solution i guess
  12. Is it possible to have SQL 2008 on the new one? will SCCM be able to replicate the SQL on the new server?
  13. maybe you are running the advertisment with SYTEM. Try running the create shortcut with the loggin user. That should work since it will know which user you are using so it will put it on your desktop
  14. Hello. Can anybody point me to the right direction? I want to rename my SCCM 2007 server but this can not be done directly as i read. What can i do to achieve this? My setup consists of one machine (Win 2003) having the SCCM console and SQL database 2005 I read something that i need to create a secondary site and when the data flows down to the secondary site i can promote it and remove the other? SQL will be replicated? What about the site code? Thank you in advance
  15. You can create a collection and enter a query to collect computers not having that select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.Name not in (select distinct SMS_R_System.Name from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS on SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName = "Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007") order by SMS_R_System.Name Replace Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 with the full name of the application as shown on Add/Remove Programs The advertise your AV to them
  16. thx for the info applied in the morning at work
  17. OK it looks like it working perfectly. Strangely although i have WPAD and it working on all clients they don't seem to bypass my proxy to access sccm server. so as a workaround the manual configuration as defined above works for me...
  18. Ok after aloooooooooooooot of searching i manage to figure this out. There is a tool on windows XP (works on windows 7 just need to copy it from an XP) proxycfg that tweeks the below entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Connections\WinHttpSettings What you can do is 2 things; Eithere run proxycfg [-p <server-name> [<bypass-list>]] which sets proxy server and optional bypass list, for example proxycfg -p PROXYSERVER http://sccmserver.mydomain.com or if you have defined in ur browser under local settings, a proxy with a bypass list of IPs/server you can use proxycfg -u to import the proxy settings of the user!Make sure you restart Automatic Windows Updates Open windowsupdate.log and verify 2010-10-26 19:45:55:038 1028 11d4 Agent * WU client version 7.4.7600.226 2010-10-26 19:45:55:038 1028 11d4 Agent * Base directory: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution 2010-10-26 19:45:55:038 1028 11d4 Agent * Access type: Named proxy 2010-10-26 19:45:55:038 1028 11d4 Agent * Default proxy: PROXYSERVER 2010-10-26 19:45:55:038 1028 11d4 Agent * Default proxy bypass: http://sccmserver.mydomain.com No more traffic on my ISA server Will check WSUS tomorrow if i get the correct IP and update you on the matter
  19. How odd; Not in MSDN as well. Bammer! :angry:
  20. Hello. Are you using it only for package deployment? You can add a server and define it as aDP.No need to install WSUS on that.Afterward you can define boundaries for that server, so that when the computers request the package, since it is copied on that DP as well it will sent them locally. Does that help?
  21. Please check this to find out what best suites you; A Server Distribution Point or a Server Share Distribution Point. server\smspkgd$ are the shares created by SCCM when you have added a server and defined it as a Server Distribution Point. Thats the one that it use to distribute the packages. You do not need to create a manual share ie dp$. Now, if you want to create a Server Share DP you will have to create it manually. Your source location is not use on distribution of the package to the user. It is use to create the distribution point packages to be sent to the users.
  22. Well mine was a funny story. This started around Feb 2010 We already got an SMS admin on our company and i started out of curiosity to learn what is new on SCCM since i had no idea how to deploy and everything....was driven so much with it, and we where on the middle of major deployment of Office 2007 in our company ,which we haven't done that before with a major program and i step up to help on it... As we found out we where using SMS DPs in an incorrect way to do the work... Ended up having a super smooth deployment of Office which was a great success and somehow got the title of SCCM admin To sum up i really love the concept of SCCM and i believe now that i got to know it, has become my right hand tool for almost everything! In the next months i will start deploying Windows 7 and i am in the process of changing the way our imaging procedure works ( will start using SCCM ) so thats another challenge for our SCCM. PS. Your guides where the first steps on my SCCM journey so i take this opportunity to thank you Niall
