RTM, I will probably update to SP1 soon though.Help/about shows that the policy has been applied and the virus definitions are up to date. Software distribution and updates are working on these computers.

Yes.

Question about SP1. If I install it on my Primary server, will it automatically update all of my DP's and Secondary sites? Will it also update my clients? Is the update easy to do? Does it also update my SQL server?

I have over 100 clients that have SCEP installed on them but SCCM doesn't show them as being managed or having them installed. How do I get SCCM to show that it is installed and managed? Is there something that I need to run on the client?

I also just looked at an old WUAHandler.log file and even when it was working, it was showing that the settings were overwritten by a higher authority.

Yes and yes. There are group policies controlling the WSUS location (to the stand alone server) but it was working before, why would it not work now? All I found from the troubleshooting section is that the WUAHandler.log file shows that the policy is set from the domain controller (group policy).

I follow Part 6 of Anyweb's guide (http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/6106-using-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-part-6-adding-the-endpoint-protection-role-configure-alerts-and-custom-antimalware-policies/) but I'm having problems with the definition update. First, a little background. I had SCCM up and running in my environment but something screwed it up. I ended up removing my servers and recreating them. I was using SCCM with SCEP without a problem. I also have a stand-alone WSUS server as well as a SCCM integrated SCUP. My servers are pointing to my stand-alone server for Windows updates but my antimalware policy is for the servers to only use ConfigMGR for SCEP updates. This was working fine before. Now that I've redone my servers and have all of the settings the same (at least I don't see any that are different) my servers aren't updating. Some of them are but the majority of my servers aren't updating. Anyone have any idea's why this worked in the past but not now?

Thanks!

I had two SCCM secondary sites that I told SCCM to delete and uninstall the secondary site. It is now stuck on "deleting" and the secondary servers have SCCM uninstalled on them. How do I remove those sites from the primary server so that I can re-add the servers?

How do I create a collection that lists all the computers with a program installed? I'm not concerned about the version of the program though. I have one that I was trying but it doesn't seem like it is working. Does the "like" statement not work?

All of my sites are trying to copy a package that has been deleted. I've tried to remove it from the despoolr.box directory on the servers but it keeps coming back. I think it is screwing up some of my other package distributions. How do I get rid of the package for good?

It is possible to have remote distribution points hanging off of secondary site servers? I have my primary site servers at my primary off and a secondary site server at a remote office. That remote office will have 4 satellite offices connected to it via different speed internet connections. Can I have small servers at those satellite offices that have remote distribution points on them that communicate with the secondary site server in my remote office?

Not really. Updates started working on those systems but I didn't do anything. A couple of my other clients are now having the same issue though.

I set up a remote site server but clients don't seem to be using it. I can find the smsts.log file. What log file should I look at to see why the clients are connecting to it?

Thanks. Going this method, how often will clients communicate with my main site server? How much bandwidth would it us? How do I have the computers are the remote sites use my remote site server when it installs the SCCM client? I have it set up to push the install out now and it looks like it uses the sms_<site code> share, which doesn't exist on my remote site server. Also, how does installing the management point role on the remote site server effect all of this? Sorry for the repeat questions and such, I just want to make sure I fully understand this before I go to my boss.

I don't see a smsts.log file on the client, at least not in c:\windows\ccm\logs. Where should it be? When assigning a boundary group to my remote site, should I check the box for "Use this boundary group for site assignment"? If so, should I select my main site?

Do I need to create a site code and whatnot like with Secondary Sites? How can I tell that the clients are using that remote site and not my main server?

Are there any instructions/documentation on having remote distribution points? What about remote management points? Everything that I've been able to find talks about secondary sites.

Thanks.

I'm testing SCVMM 2012 SP1 CTP2 with a couple Hyper-V 2012 hosts. These hosts don't use shared storage. Using the native Hyper-V Manager, I get the option to configure a replica server for DR purposes. Can I do the same in SCVMM? I looked but don't see an option but I could just be over looking it.

Is there a way to have a task sequence run a Software Inventory scan after a piece of software installs? This way, the task wouldn't run a second time (based on my groups and how it is triggered).

Do I use boundaries to tell my clients with SCCM server or DP to connect to, even if they have the same site code?

For the site code, should I create one for my remote site or have it use the site code for the primary SCCM server?

Thanks. Is there anything special that needs to be done in order to set it up so that clients install the CCM client from their location?

I currently have secondary sites installed at all of my remote sites. In order to save some money, I'm thinking about switching to remote distribution points. I have a few questions first though. Can I also set up remote management points? If so, can they be on the same box (preferably Windows 7) Is there a way to have clients at the remote sites install the CCM client from the computer above? (I.E. Not pull the installation files over the WAN) Can I have a Software Update Point at the remote site? Does it need to be Server 2008R2?
