massive software distribution
Hi guys,
Let's say I'd like to distribute more than 4000 packages to one of server DP, what should be prepared?
(assuming my ConfigMgr is working, we have tested one package deployment to the server DP and it's working as well.. just wanted to make sure massive package deployment with size of more than 500GB is not failing :))
Thanks.

We are currently rolling out Windows 7 to our branch offices using Sccm 2007, MDT 2012. We have two offices in each building both with their own ip range and the same set of applications.
The task sequence is the same for both except that one office must get Office 2010 std and the other only to get Outlook, Excel viewer, power point viewer and Word Viewer.
Could anyone tell me how best this can be achieved?

Hello All - I have been trying to Xcopy files from Network share in to my System32 Folder but as a normal user logged in it requires elevated CMD prompt to copy files over .
Is there a way I can achieve the same using a simple Bat/VBS file :
@echo on
rem COPYING SCREEN SAVER FILE TO SYSTEM32 FOlder
If not exist %systemroot%\System32\screensaver.scr" Xcopy "%logonserver%\netlogon\screensaver\Screensaver.scr"/y exit

I cannot register my copy of Microsoft Digital Image Starter Edition. I do have a product ID but it sends me to a "page cannot be found"
we are planning for deployment of new drivers of Conexant 20672 SmartAudio HD for Existing Lenovo T520 systems having Windows 7 x64 OS. Is there any easy method to roll back drivers through SCCM.
Please suggest.

I'm super new to SCCM - still trying to figure a lot of things out.
Nearly all of our applications have post installation steps like applying a registry configuration (via either `regedit /s` or `reg add`), creating directories, copying files (license file, configuration file) and so on. Since I've already created a bunch of applications, leveraging SCCM's nifty little feature that grabs all the app info from the MSIs, I'm now looking for how to accomplish 'the next step': applying the proper configurations.
I realize there are a variety of ways to accomplish this, but, one method I've seen time & time again is to create the application via the MSI, and then afterward change the command line to whatever script I want to run; which does the installation plus the extra actions.
Here's the process I've been following that's resulting in errors in SCCM but *not* in the script [read: batch file] I'm calling:
Calls setup file (actual MSI or setup.exe etc) via relative path and any necessary parameters/arguments etc: "%~dp0Full_Installer\setup.exe" /S /v"/qb SERIALNUMBER=12345 /l*vx c:\Logs\ApplicationName.log"
Performs a variety of operations: xcopy /r /y, md/mkdir, reg add/delete, regedit /s; Each operation is redirected to >>!logfile! 2>>&1
With the batch files tested & confirmed working
Ok, now that all my changes are made, I need to get this into the DP:
With that now complete, I'm ready to test the install/uninstalls via SCCM. So I go to client workstation, load up Software Center & Locate application & click 'Install', and this is where things get strange.
So it actually did install successfully, yet something 'failed', or was translated as a failure, causing Software Center to believe the install failed.
I'm quite perplexed!
As I mentioned above, the install & uninstall errors vary:
Running the batch file to install/uninstall completes without error so either something unexpected is happening that SCCM interprets as an error, or, I made a mistake in the way I created the application. I want to believe its something very simple that I'm missing or just not doing right.
When installing/uninstalling applications via Software Center, I'm looking at task manager to view the actual command line being run for the install, and in some situations, its incorrect. In other situations the command line is correct, but, the actual install batch file (in c:\windows\ccmcache\random) is not the most recent one and/or its missing additional files that were recently added.
Perhaps this is the source of all my problems: The DP is not up to date/doesn't contain the latest changes made to the batch files. (Because remember, as I mentioned above, the install/uninstall batch files currently work without issue when executed manually or in our current deployments.)
So maybe my question should be: If the below isn't the proper method for 'refreshing' the DP with the latest application data (updates to the install package, updated files etc), what is the proper method for doing so?
Lastly, I'm a big log person. All the batches log each operation and redirects the results (1> and 2>) to a log file for review. It makes it super simple to see where something failed down the road. SCCM includes a wealth of log files for various operations, and, in my humble opinion, its great but a bit overwhelming!
I know that the client logs are all stored in C:\Windows\CCM\Logs but there are over 100 logs in there and its not inherently obvious which log corresponds to which component or action of CM. So, all that said, I'm happy to comb through with cmtrace to troubleshoot deeper & get a better understanding of the process, but I'm in need of help finding a good place to start.
Hi,
I'm working mostly in SCCM 2012, now I have an SCCM 2007 in front of me. I'm a little confused on the DataAccess-tab. I read the Microsoft-article but it doesn't make me any wiser (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb693971.aspx). I made a new package
but when I fill it in (yes, location is correct), it does not work, it does work when I don't fill it in.
Please clarify, why it is used, why you should or should not.

Hi,
I have the same issue
And I already tried steps mentioned there except editing the SQL db.
May I ask if there's already a permanent fix for this?
(For me, editing the DB is not an option in large environment.)
Thank you.

Hi
Anyone know of a way to install printers locally on worgroup computers. (Cant install the printer from printserver) I have looked on some vbscript, but seems that they wont run on windows vista or windows 7. I Think powershell is the way to go, but have not found powershell script to do this.

Hi, I am having a difficult time getting any and all software dist. to Windows 7, 64 bit machines. SCCM reports that the advertisement went through ok, but when I check these 64-bit machines, none of the changes I sent are made to the client. 32-bit machines work like a charm. I've looked in execmgr on one of the clients and I see this:

This has been an ongoing problem for several months. Of course, I now need to get a program out to 64-bit machines. grrr... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hi wally
i have been wating a reply from the office forum,but still i didn't got any reply for my issue.thats why i put it again here
if i would summarize my issue
my testing client pc has already installed offfice 2003.i wanna upgrade this to office 2007 professional plus.so i customized it throuh office customize tool.
so i created a package for office 2007 through the office profesional plus cd.and i create a program.for the command line parameter i have given this
setup.exe/adminfile updates\customized.msp
the package is assiging to client.i checked the execmgr.log file. log file is ok.but no upgrade is happening.
as up to this deploying office 2007 through sms r2 guide helpd me a lot.but still im unable satisfy my client requirement.the office customization tool default behaviour is to remove previous product.
i checked this article but it supporting upto office 2003.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/solutionaccelerators/cits/mo/swdist/pmsms/2003/pusmsoff.mspx
for the testing purposes to check the command is working or not i checked like this.
my client has office enterprise suite i tried the command which i mentioned above manualy.it prompts select a product after that the installation is silent and unistalling the office 2003 and installs office 2007.but if i would try SCCM it assign to client after that nothing.i think because it need the user invention to select a product.
i have the office professional plus too so i tried the above command manually it popus it displays"please wait setup prepares the necessary file windows"after that nothing happening.i know this is not a issue in SCCM.i searched several times wally umfortunatly i cound find any article to do this.
is it possible to do this scenario. i need you're help.dont say put this question in to office forum.i dont have anybody to take a support.

Hi!
I'm trying to recreate just a few of the built-in contols in the QAT. I've been succesful with all of them except with Undo and Redo. The Ribbon Control List states that the Redo and Undo controls are gallery controls but when I use the <gallery idMso="Undo"> or redo I get an error warning from Custom UI Editor For Microsoft Office.
I'm wondering what's the correct way to do this.
Thanks in advance.

I am using SCCM2007R3. often time, I have the following problem:
1. I created a big package (bigger than 10GB) at central site server. then I send it to all DPs.
2. often times, for some DPs, after central site's backup job ran or server rebooted, there will be a duplicated sending to those DP, for same package.
3. those DPs, normally have not so good WAN connection.
anyone has similiar experience and if there is any workaround? this problem bothered me for quite long time and it is really annoying because it consumes double WAN traffic...
thanks in advance!
Hi All
We deploy packages using Security groups in our environment.
Each Security group is linked to a collection which has a query.
Based on the security group membership, the machines get added to collections. A advertisement is applied on the collection
There were only 4 machines in the security group/Collection, but somehow got advertised to 9000 machines.
We are unable to figure out how 9000 machines got this advertisement.
If we check the collection, it shows only 4 machines though.
Similar issue happened few times even before.
Package/Advertisement status under System Status is not helping.
How can we figure out how these machines got this advertisement?
Please help.
In my environment, sccm 2007 central server is keep refreshing the packages(more than 100) continiously,
I had see an articlet for hotfix KB978021 but that is also install in server,
don;t know what to do and what to update and remove for stop this package refresh,
even those packages are available in DPs
SMS Distribution Manager successfully created or updated package
SMS Distribution Manager successfully processed package
SMS Distribution Manager successfully processed package
It repeats it self hundreds of times on some DPs, and thousands of times on others. The thing is this is a task sequence, not a package, i'm not sure why or where i ever specified a DP for the TS.
Any ideas on how to clean them up?
