Trying to enable Wake on LAN to a mass amount of already deployed workstations. I pulled down Dell's CCTK. Enabled the Wake on LAN feature for all models and dumped out an EXE from the software. Packaged it in SCCM, and it successfully gets pulled down. However, when SCCM is running the install execmgr.log keeps telling me: Script for Package:CU100103, Program: Dell BIOS Settings Wake On LAN failed with exit code 10 The advertisement status on the console tells me the same information. Has anyone had much experience deploying CCTKs this way? I have included images of the packages program settings; as it might be something in the manor I am telling it to run. Any help is appreciated. Also, Windows Noob is a job saver.

Help with reporting in 2007, not sure which report I want and 500 error
caseyj3350 posted a question in Reports
Hello - I'm new to SCCM, and trying to run a report for management to see which systems need upgraded. I tried to run the report "Search for Computers" and put in the collection "Workstation and desktops", and comes back with a 500 internal server error. It works fine with other reports, but this one will be about 17000 computers. Just need computer type and computer name.. Thanks!!! -
I'm having an issue imaging one of my desktops. This is a standard Windows 7 64 bit image and I genearally use it a couple times a week with no issue.

Hey all, I'm looking to use Powershell to list all collections a particular Computer is a member of. I have a way of listing all the members of a particular collection, but I don't have the reverse, which would be listing all the collections a member is in. I'll post what I've got. PS C:\> (get-command Get-CollectionMember).ScriptBlock Param($CollName) $SiteCode="ATL" $SCCMServer="SCCM" # Get a list of collections and find the object to build the collection list. $Collection = Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $SCCMServer -Namespace ` "root\sms\site_$SiteCode" -Class 'SMS_Collection' $MyCollection = $Collection | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq $CollName } # Grab the Resource ID of the collection $MyCollectionMembers = Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $SCCMServer -Namespace ` "root\sms\site_$SiteCode" -Query "select * from SMS_CM_RES_COLL_$($MyCollection.CollectionID)" #Echo member of the collections to screen Foreach ($member in $MyCollectionMembers) { $oldErrCount = $error.Count $Name = $member.Name.ToString() $Name } I found this code somewhere online and modified it to fit. Now, this will list all of the members of a specified collection, but can't be used to find all the collections a member is in. Anyone have any ideas?

Hello, I have a problem installing SCCM 2012 on the SQL 2008 R2 cluster. When it goes through the prerequisites, and I specify my SQL server, it connects fine, but when it comes to creating the database on the server it fails, saying that it can’t connect to the server. I tried a different approach and installed a local copy of SQL 2008 R2. SCCM installed fine. I moved the database to the SQL cluster, tried to re-point to use cluster and it failed again. Here is some log from the attempt to re-point to cluster: INFO: SQL Connection succeeded. Connection: clustername.domain MASTER, Type: Unsecure $$<Configuration Manager Setup><04-27-2012 10:32:34.107-60><thread=4056 (0xFD8)> INFO: SQL Server clustername.domain is clustered. $$<Configuration Manager Setup><04-27-2012 10:32:34.193-60><thread=4056 (0xFD8)> *** [08001][-2146893022][Microsoft] SSL Provider: The target principal name is incorrect.~~ $$<Configuration Manager Setup><04-27-2012 10:32:34.202-60><thread=4056 (0xFD8)>*** [08001][-2146893022][Microsoft][sql Server Native Client 10.0]Client unable to establish connection $$<Configuration Manager Setup><04-27-2012 10:32:34.202-60><thread=4056 (0xFD8)> *** Failed to connect to the SQL Server. $$<Configuration Manager Setup><04-27-2012 10:32:34.202-60><thread=4056 (0xFD8)> INFO: SQL Connection failed.

Advertisments not being picked up by clients in SCCM 2007
flyinghaggis posted a question in How do I ?
We've been been experiencing a problem whereby advertisments (whether they're for OS deployment/software/etc) aren't being picked up by and of the client computers on our network. I've tried checking through the logs and through some of the troubleshooting guides on this website but I can't see anything that could be causing it? There don't seem to be any obvious error messages and we haven't made any changes/updates that I can link back to when this started happening. Worryingly this is affecting every computer on our network and it means we're unable to re-image computers or deploy software so I'm just about at the point where I need to log a support call with Microsoft! Is there anything obvious we should try/check before we do? -
Hi all, First and foremost, I love this site, it is such a fantastic reference guide and a boon to IT people like myself. I'm working on a new image, (actually, the same one I tweeted you about last week, Niall! As it turns out, we'd been using an incorrect NIC driver which was causing the port to take a long time to come online, and the PXE TFTP transfer was timing out as a result), for an HP 8560p Elitebook, and I've gotten it to boot through PXE to WinPE and get through the Apply Driver Package step of my Task Sequence. Install is Failing at Setup Windows and ConfigMgr with the following: -In setupact.log Now, I've looked through SCCM for the driver in accordance with directions found here: http://support.micro....com/kb/2012889 and I don't see this drive, oem79.inf. I decided to look further and discovered that the file in question is johci.inf, a 1394-Firewire driver, which I would not deem boot-critical, though evidently the installer believes this to be the case. I looked in SCCM and can't find a matching driver, but instead find many variants, all of which are signed. I then checked my boot image and this driver is not added to the boot.wim image either. So, before I disable and remove this driver from the Driver Packages for this model, do you guys have any thoughts? Thanks again for all of everyone's help.

Hi there, WQL and SQL totally escapes me so I was wondering if someone could help. I'm after creating a report that will show users that have logged on to multiple machines and also list these machines... My Project manager asked spcifically for a report that displays users that have (in their possession) both a desktop and a laptop but I'm guessing my method would be easier. I believe you can also report on the primary user depending on the % of time a user has been logged on to a machine - maybe this could help narrow the results down further?? Hope someone can help - or at least understand my request ) Chris.

I am attempting to capture an x64 image of Windows 7 using SCCM and an image capture disk. I am getting an error that indicates that the user account that I am using to capture and write the image to a directory on the SCCM server does not have proper permissions to to write images to the directory in question. I have checked the NT permissions for the account that I am using and it does in fact have full permissions (this is a Domain Admin acocunt) Here are the steps I am following to failure - insert the disk - enter unc path to directory .wim file is to be written to - enter some other info (version, notes, etc...) - start the image capture process - watch machine reboot - watch the death of my SCCM x64 dream as I see the 0x800704cf one more time All indications that I have fond searching Google are that the account doens't have permission but it does. Any help or even useful ideas would be most appreciated.

I have been setting up SCCM 2012 in a lab environment and to be completely honest, I have no idea what I'm doing regarding the patching aspect. I took a beta 4 day in-class class and have my book, so I'm not totally running blind, but I'm still lost. I setup a site server named LAB-WSUS that had WSUS 3.0 SP2 installed and downloaded updates. Why does it appear my SCCM CAS is going directly out to Microsoft.com for updates? Shouldn't it be going to the WSUS server? Isn't that the point of the SUP site server? When I downloaded the patches, it asked me where to put the "package.". It just downloaded all of the patches onto the SCCM CAS server (per my direction). I setup a deployment package and chose to deploy to one of the device collections I have setup. I have no GPOs set to point those servers to the appropriate WSUS server, but why do they have to? It appears that my SCCM server is doing all the work. Thanks in advance!!!! Juice -
Building an environment as I type this, but for planning I would like to know the following in advance. With SCCM 2012 managing App-V packages is there an option to pre-load the package into the cache at time of deployment (preferably in the OSD or a short time after)? Running in a wireless environment we try to pre-load all packages to reduce wait times. Currently we achieve this through copying a zipped archieve of the cache onto notebooks as part of the OSD. I am hoping there is a better alternative in the new version.

How to deploy Terminal Server on Server 2008 R2 via TS
capriguy84 posted a question in Deploy Server 2008 R2
Hello folks, How can I include the terminal server build in a TS? I have around 20 apps to install and for Terminal Server(Remote Deskop Services) the role has to be installed first and then set to ''change user /install" to install apps and then revert back to " change user /execute". I ran as TS step as command but it failed with no apparent reasons. The log is very vague, so hoping someone already went thru this. Thanks!! -
Migrating SCCM 2007 from one server to another
XistEnCe posted a topic in Configuration Manager 2007
Hi there! So this is the case: I have an "old" SCCM2007+FEP server. This server is taking its last breaths and I wish to migrate it over to a new virtual host. How/What is the best practice on how to do this? Is there any way to just install the clean server from scratch - then migrate all settings over? Any pointers on this subject is more than welcome! -
Hi, firstly I'd like to say that this a great forum with hundreds of useful posts. Up to now I've just been a spectator as most of the answers to my questions have been answered already. My question is regarding BITS. I have a small SCCM installation with a Single Primary Site, separate SQL server and two secondary site servers with distribution points. I have noticed that when adding new packages to the infrastructure, that it seems to take quite a long time before they are copied to the DPs. I checked on the Primary site server and I can see a temp folder with the files that increases in size until it reaches the size of the package in question. I presume this folder is SCCM creating the BITS package before it copies it over to my DPs. My issue is that I added a 15GB windows 7 wim to my infrastructure the other day and it took about 10 hours to create and copy the package to my DP. The server does appear stressed out at all either CPU, RAM, Disk IO or network so I presume that BITS has a limit of some kind. I also noticed that I could not update any smaller, existing packages to my DP as they seemed to queue behind the large wim file which can be quite inconvenient if you need to get something out urgently. I wondered if anyone had seen this and if there was a way of processing multiple BITS packages at the same time or if there is a way of speeding up the creation of a single BITS package? Do people use BITS for large packages or should I be turning it off? I have looked at the site settings for the senders but these are already set to process multiple packages simultaneously. This is the same for all site servers. Please help. Many thanks Spencer

I am trying to find a way to run a script in SCCM 2007 against a collection to confirm that the AV service is running, checking the hardware inventory to every machine (5 estates, 2000 machines per estate) is time consuming and I need to find a more productive way to do this. any help or advice gratefully recieved.

Hi, I have a 50GB WIM file containing multiple Win7 images. Is there a way to have SCCM only download one particular image during OSD, and not the entire WIM file? Here is my problem: The machines I’m planning to image come with 160GB disks (actual size is 149 GB). The image I want to apply to them is 23GB and expands to 60GB. The last step in my Task Sequence is to perform a complete local backup using WBADMIN. So in the task sequence I define 2 partitions: C: - 89GB and D: - 60GB, apply the OS to C:, do some housekeeping, and then run WBADMIN to do a backup of C: to D. This works well when I use the 23GB capture WIM file. But when I use the 50GB WIM file into which I merged several images, there is no longer enough space to hold the 60 GB backup partition + the 50GB WIM file + the 60 GB to which the image expands on C:. Thanks, Edrik -
Set Task Sequence Variable to Device Property
mt204 posted a question in Troubleshooting, Tools, Hints and Tips
I'm using MDT Task Sequences with SCCM and am trying to get a proper Computer Description set. It was easy to do with OSDComputerName and check if a computer was already named properly in AD for whether or not a popup would ask for a new name. Now I've tried using the same method for setting the computer description. I've made sure that my Discovery settings includes the Description property, so I can see the AD Description in my Devices properties. The problem is how to set a task sequence variable to use the variable assigned to my device. I thought setting a variable: OSDComputerDesc with a value: %Description% would do it, but that was a bad guess. How do I bring in the Device Property Value and give it to my new TS Variable? -
A few questions on maintenance windows for SCCM 2007 collections. I have created a Parent collection that finds all of the servers I need to work with. I then have created child collections that feed off of the parent and split them based on other selections like so. Servers I Manage - (Parent) Domain Controllers - (Child)Windows 2008 - (Child)Windows 2003 - (Child)SQL Servers - (Child)Misc Servers - (Child) Now, if I set a maintenance window on the Parent Collection (Servers I Manager) and then deploy a package or update to the Child Collection (Windows 2008). The server that resides in both collections should not see the maintenance window from the parent collection as I am deploying to the child which has no maintenance window. I have read that "Maintenance windows are not inherited by subcollections." and the above would be true as there is no inheritance, but I've seen some discussion in that because the server itself resides in both collections, it will take the maintenance window from the Parent (Servers I Manage). Is this True? Thank you for any and all of your thoughts Regards, Yarrokon

Afternoon All Long time fan of these boards have helped me out many times, but i have been stumped with this one any help would be a massive help to me, this is the following error im getting The program for advertisement "MMC20006" failed ("MMC0000E" - "Install"). A failure exit code of 2 was returned. User context: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Possible cause: Systems Management Server (SMS) determines status for each program it executes. If SMS cannot find or correlate any installation status Management Information Format (MIF) files for the program, it uses the program's exit code to determine status. An exit code of 2 is considered a failure. Solution: For more information on the exit code, refer to the documentation for the program you are distributing. Im deploying Adobe Digital edition 1.8

Hi, We are currently using SCCM 2007 R3 and the way that we use OSD is to create a virtual machine, build Windows 7 Enterprise on it, run all windows updates, install office 2010 and a few other utils that are standard to our builds and then capture it and run other programs (like Google Chrome etc..) from a task sequence. However, from time to time we need to update our base WIM file images, so what we do is to deploy the standard image (minus the task sequence programs) and then update the image, then re-capture it using the capture ISO. We then re-add the image on our server and go from there. This is not ideal as I believe that you can our capture a win 7 machine 3 times? so, after that, if we try and capture an image, it fails and we have to build an image from scratch again. I know there are other ways around this like snapshot our image once complete before capturing and then use that to update, or just having a windows 7 base image and deploy all software in the task sequence but I was wondering if there was any other advice anyone could give us about the best ways to update our windows images? Note that this is not just windows updates, but Autodesk DWG Trueview updates, java updates, flash updates etc... Thanks for your help in advance!

Is anyone having issues building and capturing an OS with RC2? I was redoing lab 7 and RC2 will not create the .wim file for some reason. I recall doing lab 7 for RC1 and it worked fine. I recall from RC1, that the TS step in lab 7 took a couple of minutes to comlete, but in RC2 it takes just seconds and when I check the path specified for saving the .wim file...the folder's empty. Any suggestions?

First I want to say that I am relatively new to SCCM. My office is looking at using it to deploy Windows 7. However a different office is responsible for installing software updates and patches. They will also be using SCCM 2007 to accomplishe these tasks. I want to know if SCCM 2007 can be configured with different rights based on the user accessing it. For example - I would like to set it up so that Operator1 can only deploy Operating System Images but cannot istall software updates and Operator2 can deploy software updates and patches. Is this type of stylized control available in SCCM 2007? Chuck Vinnedge
