Hello All, I am wanting to pin a shortcut to All Users start menu in Windows 7 using SCCM. I am able to do this pretty easily in XP by creating a program that copies to relevant folder. I have tried by copying to file to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\StartMenu, but the shortcut doesn't register. Any ideas? Thanks, Paul

Cheers Eswar, worked a treat

Hello All, Thought I would make you aware of a BSOD after installing KB977165 on a number of machines via SCCM. The articles on the MS site say it should only affect Windows XP clients, but I have 2 machines with Win7 that BSOD with the error: UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP It seems to affect a number of machines and not all. A qucik question though, I need to stop this rolling out so have removed the update from teh Deployment Package and Update list, will this stop all machines from recieving it? Or will machines that have already accepeted the policy install it?

Hello All, I am wanting to show a decent progress bar when pushing out particular applications to users. Are there any free third party tools that can do this, or will I need to pay for one? Alternatively, would I be able to do this as a script? Thanks

Hi Eswar, That is exactly what I was looking for. It has worked a treat, thanks Kind Regards, Paul

Hello All, I am wanting to create a monthly report that queries all machines where a standard users has admin rights (a query that will look at the default admin groups and report back the ones that don't meet these) and any new software that has been installed on that machine in the last month. From what I can see, there isn't a report that shows admin rights, but there is one that shows 'changes' to the machine. Will I need to create a custom report (maybe using SQL views). If so, what tables/keys should I be linking? Thanks, Paul

Hello All, I am trying to update the standard boot images in SCCM 2007 R2 to my DP. I follow the following process: New Distibution Points - Select DPs and finish wizard. Update Distribution Points After 5 mins or so, I get the following error: Error: Boot image to update: Microsoft Windows Vista PE (x86) Error: Actions to perform: Add ConfigMgr binaries Disable Windows PE command line support Add drivers Error: Failed to import the following drivers: Error: The wizard detected the following problems when updating the boot image. Unable to import a boot image that is not finalized Unable to import a boot image that is not finalized Unable to import a boot image that is not finalized Unable to import a boot image that is not finalized The ConfigMgr Provider reported an error.: ConfigMgr Error Object: instance of SMS_ExtendedStatus { Description = "Failed to insert OSD binaries into the WIM file"; ErrorCode = 2152205056; File = "e:\\nts_sms_fre\\sms\\siteserver\\sdk_provider\\smsprov\\sspbootimagepackage.cpp"; Line = 3824; ObjectInfo = "CSspBootImagePackage::PreRefreshPkgSrcHook"; Operation = "ExecMethod"; ParameterInfo = "SMS_BootImagePackage.PackageID=\"BUR00001\""; ProviderName = "WinMgmt"; StatusCode = 2147749889; }; I have done a little research on the internet and it is talking about re-installing WAIK. I have done this and rebooted to no-avail. Kind Regards, Paul

Sorry for the late reponse. The file location is at C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\schema The file should look like: <element name="properties"> <attribute name="allowAnonymousPropfind" type="bool" defaultValue="true" /> <attribute name="allowInfinitePropfindDepth" type="bool" defaultValue="true" /> <attribute name="allowCustomProperties" type="bool" defaultValue="false" /> <collection addElement="add" removeElement="remove" clearElement="clear" allowUnrecognizedAttributes="true"> <attribute name="xmlNamespace" type="string" isUniqueKey="true" required="true" validationType="nonEmptyString" /> <attribute name="propertyStore" type="string" required="true" validationType="nonEmptyString" /> </collection> </element> Once done, a restart of IIS should resolve the MP issues

Hello All, How easy is it to setup SCCM to work across multiple domains? Our basic setup is: domaininternal.co.uk domain.ltd.uk All our clients sit in domain.ltd.uk and the SCCM server will reside in domaininternal.co.uk. From what I can gather, I will need to do the following: 1) Extend AD schema for domaininternal.co.uk and give the computer account full control 2) Use my network access and admin accounts (domain\sccmadmin and sccmread)to discovery and application rollout. Do these need to sit in the same domain? As far as I can see, as long as the account have permission between the two domans I should be ok? Thanks in advance, Paul

Morning All, My SCCM testbed as somehow broke itself again? I was having a number of Certificate Issues (Unable to find policy for this computer) during a build. So I followed a guide on another website that recommended a re-create the self signed certificate. I did this, and the task sequences started working. However, now I am unable to Update the DPs for any of my boot images. I get the following error: Error: Boot image to update: Microsoft Windows Vista PE (amd64) Error: Actions to perform: Add ConfigMgr binaries Disable Windows PE command line support Add drivers Error: Failed to import the following drivers: Error: The wizard detected the following problems when updating the boot image. Unable to import a boot image that is not finalized Unable to import a boot image that is not finalized Unable to import a boot image that is not finalized Unable to import a boot image that is not finalized Unable to import a boot image that is not finalized The ConfigMgr Provider reported an error.: ConfigMgr Error Object: instance of SMS_ExtendedStatus { Description = "Failed to insert OSD binaries into the WIM file"; ErrorCode = 2152205056; File = "e:\\nts_sms_fre\\sms\\siteserver\\sdk_provider\\smsprov\\sspbootimagepackage.cpp"; Line = 3824; ObjectInfo = "CSspBootImagePackage::PreRefreshPkgSrcHook"; Operation = "ExecMethod"; ParameterInfo = "SMS_BootImagePackage.PackageID=\"BUR00002\""; ProviderName = "WinMgmt"; StatusCode = 2147749889; }; I have reinstall the AIK, reboot and have tried importing another boot image, all fail with the same error message. Any ideas? SCCM is running in Mixed mode. Thanks, Paul

I am now out of ideas. At first, I thought it was down to not running the MDT intergration wizard. I have now tried re-creating install images, task sequences, collections and trying on different machines. The task sequence falls down at this same stage every time. I didnt think sysprep came into play on a windows 7 image, could it be my install media at fault? Thanks. Paul

I have just ran through the basic procedure as outlined in your guide. The sysprep section is greyed out. Is there a way I can tell it to ignore sysprepping? Thansk

Hi anyweb. I have attached the log to this post. thanks smsts.log

I did yes. I updated it on my main DP. I take it I dont need to distribute it to the PXE images share aswell? Thanks

Morning All, I have followed your guide with the build and capture of a windows 7 machine. The build goes ok, any software is installed and then fails with a 0x00000001 error message when trying to run sysprep. Your deployment guide states: Note: if sysprep fails for you at this point with SMSTS.log file reporting verifycapturerequirements fail 8004001 then simply recreate the ConfigMgr client package from definition, and push it out to a DP then use that client package in your TS I get the above error and have re-created my ConfigMgr client a few times and am still getting the same fault. Am I missing something? Kind Regards, Paul

Thanks Niall, that is now working

Thats great, thanks Niall I will test and get back to you.

Hi Niall, Thanks for the reply. Sorry for my delay getting back to you, just got back to work. I have configured the collection for all machines in a specific AD group as recommended in your article, and the installer now works How do I make the package optional? I can't see an option anywhere. Thanks, Paul

Hi All, I have followed the firefox deployment guide on this site and set up an Advertisment to install firefox to all machines that are a member of the sw-firefox group in my AD. The software is downloaded to the cache folder but isn't installed. The user is not notified at any stage. The application doesn't show in 'Run advertised software' either. This is the same for any package I create. The help would be highly appreciated. Thanks Paul

Hi All, I have managed to fix this by manually enabling the settings within the C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\Scheme\webdav file.

I am also able to connect by running net use * http://localhost Thanks

Hi Guys, I have been following the guide http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/490-how-can-i-configure-sccm-2007-sp1-in-windows-server-2008/ for setting up WebDav to allow the Management Point client to be installed. My setup is exactly the same as above, and I am getting a warning when trying to install the client. when I look at MPSetup.log I see the following: <04-06-2010 14:17:47> checking WebDAV configuraitons <04-06-2010 14:17:48> WebDAV settings is not setup appropriately <04-06-2010 14:17:48> [Allow property queries with infinite depth] should be true (true) <04-06-2010 14:17:48> [Allow Custom Properties] should be false (true) <04-06-2010 14:17:48> [Allow anonymous property queries] should be true (true) <04-06-2010 14:17:48> Allow [All users read access to All content] authoring rule should exist (exist) When I check the Webdav settings on Default Website and IIS, they are set as True, False, True. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Paul

Hi All, I have managed to fix this. Our proxy server was corrupting the file during download. After running setup.exe /download from a machine on the internet, all is working ok. Thanks Paul

Hi All, First can I say what a fantastic site, so far it has been very helpful. I am currently installing the Trial Version of SCCM on a Windows Server 2008 x64 box for our Proof of Concept, however I am having a few issues with installing SCCM. As we can't get an internet connection to the box, I have had to download the prereq files by running setup.exe /download C:\sccmprereqs When I install SCCM, I get a fatal error and the install log shows: Failed hash check failed for C:\sccmprereqs\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x64.exe I have redownloaded the file as recommended at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrsetup/thread/290d364a-a8cb-440b-9732-418430181480 ,but I am still getting the error messages. Has any one else seen this? Thanks in advance, Paul
