Windows PowerShell 3.0 is now available for download for Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and for Windows Server 2008. Windows PowerShell 3.0 comes in the Management Framework 3.0. You will need to download the appropriate package for your target operating system. Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 must be at service pack 1, while Windows Server 2008 requires service pack 2.
Some of the new features in Windows PowerShell 3.0 include:
- Workflow - Windows PowerShell Workflow lets IT Pros and developers apply the benefits of workflows to the automation capabilities of Windows PowerShell. Workflows allow administrators to run long-running tasks (which can be made repeatable, frequent, parallelizable, interruptible, or restart-able) that can affect multiple managed computers or devices at the same time.
- Disconnected Sessions - PowerShell sessions can be disconnected from the remote computer and reconnected later from the same computer or a different computer without losing state or causing running commands to fail.
- Robust Session Connectivity - Remote sessions are resilient to network failures and will attempt to reconnect for several minutes. If connectivity cannot be reestablished, the session will automatically disconnect itself so that it can be reconnected when network connectivity is restored.
- Scheduled Jobs - Scheduled jobs that run regularly or in response to an event.
- Delegated Administration - Commands that can be executed with a delegated set of credentials so users with limited permissions can run critical jobs
- Simplified Language Syntax - Simplified language syntax that make commands and scripts look a lot less like code and a lot more like natural language.
- Cmdlet Discovery - Improved cmdlet discovery and automatic module loading that make it easier to find and run any of the cmdlets installed on your computer.
- Show-Command - Show-Command, a cmdlet and ISE Add-On that helps users find the right cmdlet, view its parameters in a dialog box, and run it.
The Powershell 3.0 can be downloaded here : http://www.microsoft...s.aspx?id=34595
Supported operating systems: Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2
Windows Management Framework 3.0 requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0. You can install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 at: http://www.microsoft...s.aspx?id=17851
via Microsoft > http://www.microsoft...s.aspx?id=34595

Windows Server 2012 RTM Evaluation Download link : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh670538.aspx?wt.mc_id=TEC_108_1_33.
Currently Available in Standard and DataCenter editions.

Sure, windows 8 and windows server 2012 topics will be seen soon on windows-noob portal..
-
what is the client architecture ? If the architecture of your client is x64 and you use x86 in your Task Sequence then you need to have them both available on your DP.
-
@narcoticmind- The Network Access account is never used as the security context for running programs, installing software updates, or running task sequences, its used only for accessing resources on the network.
-
Since you have shared the folder and provided full access to everyone,I don't think its an access related issue. Check the disk space on the server before you distribute the Boot Images.
-
@Jorgen - I think thats the best way to do..I sync the software updates, add a search criteria by selecting the required product, setting expired = no and superseeded = no. Then select all updates, create software update group and add them to new software group and atlast create a ADR.
-
go through this link :http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/2317-using-vnext-in-a-lab-part-1-installation/
For client installation - the user account should be member of local administrator group of client machine (domain admin user account will also work).
Domain Join - The user account that you create can be delegated to join the computers to domain. If you want to do it, delegate control in AD, select the user and give the permissions to join the computer to domain.
SQL Service Account - After you install SQL server, login to it with Administrator. Expand option Security > right-click Logins > select the user account from Active directory and select sysadmin role.
SCCM Admin - If you are using this account to install SCCM and manage SCCM, then the user account should be member of administrators group on SCCM server.
-
@FalconG - if you have set up a CAS and if primary site is managed by CAS then you can install the reporting service role only in CAS, the CAS will query all the data from other sites. Could you post the status messages of management point ?
-
Check if WSUS is installed correctly, If you are using SCCM to deploy the updates do not configure the WSUS configuration wizard which comes up when you install WSUS. From the SCCM console, click on Monitoring > System Status > component status > check out the messages of SMS_WSUS_SYNC_MANAGER.
-
@Iroqouiz - On your SQL server check the following > Go into SQL Server Configuration Manager / Network
Configuration / Protocols for MSSQLSERVER / TCP/IP and make sure its set to "enable".
Try Restarting the SMS Agent host service.

click on change PC settings and select Wireless, turn on the wireless device.

The RSAT ( Remote Server Administration Tools) was released by Microsoft for windows 8 Preview, however you can install it on windows 8 RTM. As per Microsoft the file cannnot be installed on windows 8 RTM, but i did find a way to install it
:As per Microsoft:
The RSAT for windows 8 can be downloaded at : http://www.microsoft...s.aspx?id=28972
Once the download is complete, if you double click the file you should see this error:
How to Install:
1) open the command prompt (run as administrator) and change the directory to where the package is stored. In my case i had placed it on desktop. Extract the RSAT msu package with the command:
expand -F: * Windows6.2-KB2693643-x64.msu C:\ rsat (note that I had to create the rsat folder before expanding). You can use winrar or 7 zip to extract the .msu file.
2) Now migrate to the directory where the files are extracted, in my case its C:\rsat and execute the command:
pkgmgr /ip /m:Windows6.2-KB2693643-x64.cab
3) The installation takes few minutes.
-
Yes you can save the image on the network. When you boot with a repair disc you can choose where the image is stored (can be a local drive or shared folder on network).
-
attach the mpMSI.log..
-
For a while turn off the firewall and give a try once...
-
You can install the SQL server 2008 SP2 to fix the issue.

have you configured the site boundaries ?
also ensure that full permissions are granted to SCCM server for the "System Management" container.
-
X mark on the updates mean the updates are expired.

I had configured the Out of band management in SCCM 2007. Technet instructions should be clear. I shall very soon post the steps to configure the OOB.

The above error comes up if a proper service pack or cumulative update is not installed along with SQL server.
My Suggestion would be, use SQL server 2008 std edition + sql 2008 service pack2 + Cumulative update 7.
