Hello all, I have been given a project to deploy Project 2010 and Office 2010 to site wide computers, around 830 or so. I am having issues with this deployment and would like some guidance. We have the application in SCCM already and have tested it. I have created a collection of device, and deployed Project 2010 to it. Now, some machines it worked on and some it did not, I should mention this is a test collection of 5 machines. SCCM is showing in its deployments that they have all failed/unknown.

When I add a device to an existing collection which has an application deployed to it, that new machine will also receive the deployment when the policy updates? Also, how can I make an application deploy RIGHT NOW. I have messed around with the times and setting it as required etc and nothing seems to be a sure thing. Im starting to pull my hair out over this and if I could get some steps/insight I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks • • • • •. Also, how can I make an application deploy RIGHT NOW SCCM is not designed to be a real-time system. It is built to asynchronously manage thousands of computers.

The clients update themselves by contacting the server(s), not the other way around. There is a special 'backup' port that is open on clients that the servers can use if the is an emergency and you do need to deploy something right away, but I am unsure of it's configuration or what it is exactly called. A guy I work with used it once and it worked well, but it was with a small application. Try to use this with Office, and your network guys might hate you. My rule of thumb is that whenever I setup a new app in SCCM, I make sure the app/package creates a log file on the client machine during install. For example, the deployment type of an.msi install might be: msiexec.exe /i myappinstall.msi /qn /norestart /log '%temp% myappinstall.log' In the case of MS Office 2010 products, I believe a log is automatically created in the client's system%TEMP% folder.

I don't recall the file names used offhand but if you look by modified date, I'm sure you can figure it out. Find the log files on the failed machines and see what they say. If the logs aren't found, start checking the client's SCCM logs (usually C: Windows CCM Logs) to figure out why the install didn't kick off. The App*.log files are usually helpful. There's not really a rule of thumb on deployments. Everything is on a schedule and then add some randomness in it so that all clients aren't all downloading from SCCM at the same time. It gets complicated fast!

SMS used to also be known as Slow Moving Software:) • You set up your deployment but the machine isn't in the collection yet. Time to wait. • Your machine is in the collection but hasn't downloaded the new policy that includes the deployment. Time to wait. • Your machine has the new policy but hasn't downloaded the content. Time to wait. • Your machine has the content but the machine is in a collection with a maintenance window.

How to deploy Internet Explorer 11 using SCCM 2012 R2 In this post we will see how to deploy internet explorer 11 using SCCM 2012 R2. SCCM 2012, Application deployment silent. When I add a device to an existing collection which has an application. After that I had another deployment attemp.

Time to wait. • Your deployment requires the user to be logged off to install. Time to wait. • Deployment succeeded but the machine hasn't reported the updated statistics to the SCCM server. Time to wait. • SCCM knows about the success of the install but hasn't updated its summarization screens. Time to wait.

See what I mean? Now, you can kick most of all that off manually for testing purposes. You can also tweak a lot of it to meet your environment's needs. However, unless you have users using the App Catalog to install things themselves, SCCM isn't made to deploy software with any high precision immediacy. Yeah I have definitely noticed. Thanks for the reply!

I had some more issues yesterday with my push of project 2010, and I cannot figure this one out. 2 out of my 5 in the collection received the software. I managed to grab the AppEnforce log from the client machine.

Not sure if that is going to tell you anything or not. This is from the Project part of the log from the client.

Ok, so on my one client machine I checked the SetupExe for Project, the first log file came back with a corrupted previous version of 2003, which I noticed yesterday and uninstalled etc. After that I had another deployment attemp(this time with no project on the machine) and this is the log file it created: PERF: TickCount=17248359 Name=OBootStrapper::Run Description=Begin function Operating System version: 6.1.7600.

I was assuming the other advertisements were complete and you had an issue with WMI now. Failed to open to WMI namespace '. Root ccm Policy Machine' (8007045b) execmgr 5:33:41 PM 6844 (0x1ABC) Most of the time the other software install should fail out after the time out period.

Then depending on your settings the machine should scan and attempt to patch again. Watit for the machine to time out and then see if rescans and patches or restart the machine and see what happens. This is an old fix. If you are running SP2 it is not an issue This solution is valid if patch never finish and reg-key below is above zero. It is not valid if the update stops while downloading.

Stop the SMS Agent Host (CcmExec.exe) service on a System Center Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 client computer. Location the following registry subkey and change its value to 0:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Software Microsoft Sms Mobile Client Reboot Management JobCounter Start the SMS Agent Host (ccmExec.exe) service on the client computer. Ok lets assume the windows updater is all messed up. Try this on the machine. • Stop the Windows update service • Delete the Sofware Distribution folder%windir% Software Distribution • Start the Windos update service The folder should recreate and see if it scans and updates. Also have you looked at reinstalling the Windows update agent? If possible, could you please check and post some entires from Windowsupdate.log?

Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread. I see access denied errors and unable to find the WSUS server. So you tried stopping the service and deleting the folder and that didn't help right? If you run the Windows update from the web does it scan and want to patch. See if you can install just one of the patches. Then run the Scan and see if it updates in the Database.

You have tried to repair the client to see if that is the issue right. You can also see about deleting the Patch Cache and restart the machine. It should recontact the server and download it. I dont' think this will solve anything but it is worth a try to see if you can get ConfigMgr to repspond.

Check to make sure there aren't any proxy settings messed up on the machines. You can ping the WSUS / SUP. No DNS error somewhere. What are all the steps you have done so far? The following two messages are appearing in some systems and some are blank. The Windows Installer source paths have been successfully updated on this computer. The Windows Installer source paths on this computer failed to update.

SMS was unable to determine the correct locations for the Windows Installer program. Possible causes: The computer is unable to contact a Management Point to locate the program content; the content location request to the Management Point timed out. Solutions: Wait until the computer is connected to the network and able to contact the Management Point. The update will be retried.

Boot Images and Distribution Point Configuration For OSD In SCCM 2012 R2 In this post we will look at the steps for boot images and Distribution Point configuration for OSD In SCCM 2012 R2. We will enable the PXE support and note that the steps shown in the post needs to be done before you use system center 2012 R2 configuration manager to deploy operating systems. One of the biggest advantage of using SCCM 2012 R2 is support for Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 and support for boot images created by using the Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK) for Windows 7 SP1 and based on Windows PE 3.1.

You can refer to SCCM 2012 R2 step by step guide. Ways to deploy operating systems There are several methods that you can use to deploy operating systems to Configuration Manager client computers.

PXE initiated deployments: PXE-initiated deployments let client computers request a deployment over the network. The operating system image and a Windows PE boot image are sent to a distribution point that is configured to accept PXE boot requests. Multicast deployments: In this method the operating system image is sent to a distribution point, which in turn simultaneously deploys the image when client computers request the deployment. Bootable Media Deployments: Bootable media deployments let you deploy the operating system when the destination computer starts.

When the destination computer starts, it retrieves the task sequence, the operating system image, and any other required content from the network. Because that content is not on the media, you can update the content without having to recreate the media. Stand-alone Media Deployments: Stand-alone media deployments let you deploy operating systems in environments where it is not practical to copy an operating system image or other large packages over the network and in environments without network connectivity or low bandwidth network connectivity. Prestaged Media deployments: Prestaged media deployments let you deploy an operating system to a computer that is not fully provisioned.

The prestaged media is a Windows Imaging Format (WIM) file that can be installed on a bare-metal computer by the manufacturer or at an enterprise staging center that is not connected to the Configuration Manager environment. We will first enable the PXE support for the clients. Launch the Configuration Manager 2012 R2 console, click on Administration, Servers and Site system roles, right click Distribution point and click properties. Click on PXE tab, check the box “ Enable PXE support for clients“.

There is warning box that appears, click on Yes. This will enable the PXE support for clients. When you enable the PXE support for clients the Windows Deployment Services will be installed in the background. You will see the WDS service running when you open services.msc. Enable the option Allow this DP to respond to incoming PXE requests, this will allow DP to respond to the incoming PXE requests. Enable the option Enable unknown computer support, an unknown computer may be a computer where the Configuration Manager client is not installed or it can be a computer that is not imported into Configuration Manager or that has not been discovered by Configuration Manager. To deploy operating systems to any of the computers you must enable this option.

Enable the option Require a password when computers use PXE, it is recommended to provide a strong password for any computers that use PXE. This is more of an additional security for your PXE deployments.

User Device Affinity – This is to specify how you want the distribution point to associate users with the destination computer for PXE deployments. You have 3 options for user device affinity, a) Do not use user device affinity – Select this if you do not want to associate users with the destination computer. B) Allow user device affinity with manual approval – Select this option to wait for approval from an administrative user before users are associated with the destination computer.

C) Allow user device affinity with automatic approval – Select this option to automatically associate users with the destination computer without waiting for approval. For the option Network Interfaces, select Respond to PXE requests on all network interfaces. Here you basically specify whether the distribution point responds to PXE requests from all network interfaces or from specific network interfaces. If you want a specific network interface to respond to PXE request select Respond to PXE requests on specific network interfaces. PXE server response delay – This option is to specify delay (in seconds) for the distribution point before it responds to computer requests when multiple PXE-enabled distribution points are used. By default, the Configuration Manager PXE service point responds first to network PXE requests.

Once you have configured these options click on Apply and click on OK. Boot Images – Before you proceed for OSD, you need to make few changes to the Boot Images too. When you install SCCM 2012 R2, you will find that there are 2 images that are installed by SCCM.

Boot Image (x64) – used when you deploy 64 bit OS, Boot Image (x86) – used when you deploy 32 bit OS. The first step is to enable the command support on both the boot images. Enabling this option helps in troubleshooting OS deployment issues. To enable the command support, in the CM console, click Software Library, expand Operating system, Click Boot Images. Right click Boot Image (X64) and click on Properties.

Click on Customization tab and check the box Enable Command Support (testing only). Click on Apply. After you enable the command support, on the same window click on Data Source tab and make sure the option Deploy this boot image from the PXE-enabled DP.

This is option is enabled by default, if its not enabled please enable it. Click on Apply and click OK. The changes that you made to Boot Image (x64), repeat the same for Boot Image (x86). After you make the changes to the Boot Images you must distribute the content to DP. If you had distributed the boot images to DP previously and in case if you make changes to it post that then you can Update Distribution Points. To distribute the boot images to DP, right click on the boot image and click Distribute Content. Distribute content of both the boot images.

You can check if these boot images are available to DP by checking the Content Status of each boot image. Under Completion Statistics you should see a green circle that indicates that the content is distributed successfully and is available with DP. Network Access Account – In the SCCM Technet forums I have seen users posting questions on OSD error “ Task Sequence Failed with the Error Code 0×80070002“. We see this error during the operating system deployment using SCCM 2012 R2. When you deploy the task sequence to a collection and when you boot the computer from the network, during the step “A pplying Operating System” you encounter the Error Code 0×80070002. To fix the issue Error Code 0×80070002, we have to define the network access account.

The Network Access account is used only for accessing the content and not for running the task sequence. This account should have the minimum appropriate permissions on operating system deployment content it needs to access. This account is important because the computer receiving the operating system does not have a security context it can use to access content on the network. To configure the Network Access Account, open the CM2012 R2 console, click on Administration, expand Overview, expand Site Configuration, click Sites, on the top ribbon click Configure Site Components, click Software Distribution. Click on the tab Network Access Account, choose Specify the account that accesses network locations (by default the option is set to Use the computer account of Configuration Manager client).

Click on the orange icon and add the user account that has enough permissions to access the content which is required while deploying Operating System. Click on Apply and click on OK. Dear Sir, I have a single site installation of SCCM 2012 R2. I am using the system to deploy OS by PXE. Recently I we added a branch office to the network connected to the head office via a WAN link. For my branch office people to deploy OS images I have – Added a server to the SCCM as a Distribution Point. – Distributed the images to the new distribution point and are shown as sucess.

– Created a Boundaries to group the server and client as per the ip sunbet. Note that sites with the respective ip address range exists in AD sites and services When ever we boot the PXE and select the task sequence, THE IMAGE IS ALWAYS DOWNLOADED FROM THE HEAD OFFICE DISTRIBUTION POINT INSTEAD OF THE SITE DISTRIBUTION POINT. This is is not the intended result. Could you please advise. Hi, Kindly guide me, as I’m facing an issue while deploying the OS win7Sp1X86 while booting through LAN, Pc can able to get IP address from dhcp server, it display message: The details below show the information relating to the PXE boot request for this computer Please provide these details to your Windows Deployment Services Administrator so the this request can be approved.

Contacting Server: [IP of Server] For your information VM is of 64bit, also cross verified all steps for same. Thanks Many, Amees. Boot Images – Before you proceed for OSD, you need to make few changes to the Boot Images too. When you install SCCM 2012 R2, you will find that there are 2 images that are installed by SCCM. Boot Image (x64) – used when you deploy 64 bit OS, Boot Image (x86) – used when you deploy 32 bit OS. I’m using SCCM 1606 and installed Windows 10 ADK version 1709 before SCCM.

These boot images don’t appear in “Software Library – Operating Systems – Boot Images”. I’m assuming the boot images are the ones in c: program files(x86) Windows Kits 10 Assessment and Deployment Kit Windows Preinstallation Environment AMD 64 and x86? Can I manually add these boot images?
