Running the latest version of SCCM.  Very simple question about ADR (Automatic Deployment Rules), but can't find the answer on-line, and not close to a lab environment to test.

When configuring an ADR to deploy patches, does the deadline date (in number of days) begin counting after the available date, or after the evaluation date?

For example, let's say it's Sunday.  I set up an ADR and run an evaluation on Sunday evening, at 8 pm.  I configure the ADR available date for 1 day.  This means that the patches are available on Monday, at 8pm.  I also configure the deadline date for 6 days.

Does the 6 days begin counting from the available date, which is Monday?  Or does it begin from the evaluation date, which is Sunday?

Thanks for you input!

Greetings all!

My company uses SCCM to deploy software including Microsoft OS and application patches.  We've been having a number of issues with systems not accurately reporting back the various patches via Quick Fix Engineering.  These systems are Windows 7.

We have not yet found the cause of this but a handful of systems are reporting (incorrectly) that only a single patch is installed.  That patch is kb3063109, related to HyperV issues.  We're not sure why that patch was applied to these systems but when I remote into those systems and go to installed updates, this KB is nowhere to be found, and thus, can't be uninstalled.

Googling several variations of 'kb3063109 issues' and 'why can't I uninstall kb3063109' have come up with nothing helpful.

Anyone have any experience with this?   Appreciate the time.

Testing application deployment with SCCM current branch to a user collection. I made a mistake and improperly deleted an application (failed to retire it first, and delete revisions prior to deleting app). I then recreated it with a different name.

What I have in my test user's Software Center is a listing for the now deleted application. The last attempt to install this initial application failed.  The status still shows it as failed. I have rerun all the actions in the Config Mgr client on the test user's computer (namely "Application Deployment Evaluation Cycle" and the "Machine Policy Retrieval & Evaluation Cycle", and even the "User Policy Retrieval & Eval Cycle").

I found one suggestion to delete the DP copy. This is an application. So while I "distributed the content", I don't see a directory that matches the application ID anywhere on my distribution point. So I can't see how to try this.

[update] The test user only sees the deleted application in Software Center from the computer the install was originally attempted (it always failed - which is why I deleted it).  When the test user logs in to another computer, the deleted application is NOT listed in Software Center.


I've seen plenty of posts about this issue. I surely won't delete an application the wrong way again. But I need to make sure this ghost is gone before I start using Software Center for all our end users.

SCCM Latest version

I am unable to push updates to users. Windows updates only finds the config manager client. I have even pushed the latest pre-release client to all users. The computers still only see the one update. 1% of our clients work perfectly fine installing updates. The other 99% never detect the updates at all.

I'm interested in learning how to deploy and use Windows System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) and System Center Operations Manager (SCOM).

I would like to obtain this software that I will use only in my home personal training environment.

What options does Microsoft have for licensing or providing this software for training purposes?

I am a Microsoft Certified Professional and in order to learn how to use and support this software, I need to actually deploy the software in my personal networking environment at home.

Or where can I purchase this software from for a reasonable price?

Hello,

Configuration Manager cannot Connect to Site Database in SCCM

Please see attached logs.

Thank you in Advance.

SCCM windows 10 (64-bit) deployment has mystery task status of "Program rejected (wrong platform)" at the very end of task sequence history report. There are no error codes that I can see in the report. It looks like everything installed correctly. I've tried disabling recently added tasks to see if I can find the culprit, but no such luck.

I don't see anything in the smsts.log. But it's very possible I'm not looking for the right thing.

I've double checked the 64-bit specific package installs to make sure the "requirements" are defined properly.

While I'm trying to find whatever it is I've missed, does anyone have any suggestions on how to find the problem task?

Greetings!

We have 20,000 users and we have upgraded to version 1706.

Now, we want to manually (not through sccm) install the new upgraded client on some test machines. However, when we do, it always installs the older version! We get it from the same place as always: \\servername\sitecode\client

But, no matter what, it still installs the older client. Not the upgraded one. We removed the client first. And he installed it from that location, and still it’s the older client.

Anyone know something that we are missing? Is the new client located elsewhere?

Thank you for your great assistance!

Hello - I currently in the process of upgrading our existing SCCM version. When I look at our current version, I see we have Version 5.00.8239.1000
Build number 8239. Now when I look at our 'Installed' updates, I see that CUM Update 3 for ConfigMgr SP2 and R2 SP1 5.0.8239.1403. This is confusing and I am not sure why SCCM lists an older version. Can someone help me figure out why my SCCM console has older version? How can I make sure I am updated correctly?

Thanks,

Hi i have a problem with SCCM 1802. My problem is that, when it reach applying drivers step on TS, stuck 1 or 2 min here and suddenly , gives me an error( 0x80072EFE) during OSD deployment

Doing inplace upgrade for Windows 7 to Windows 10 Enterprise.
We are using SCCM 2012, have followed this article;
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/upgrade/upgrade-to-windows-10-with-system-center-configuraton-manager 
Have attached the errors i am getting, I have downloaded Windows 10 Enterprise again, but errors are same.
Thanks.

hello,
is their an option in the sccm 2012 that allowed the remote viewer session to have specific period of time by minutes or hours, because when i remote machine in my domain i found it disconnected after 10 minutes and found the remoted machine locked?

my domain is win 2012 datacenter
thanks

We have SCCM 2012 using a separate SQL server on the back end. I can edit reports, create new datasets using only the "SCCM Administrator" user locally and remote.

I had an issue editing the query for the datasets remotely until importing the SQL server's certificate to the local desktop's certificate store. But that much is resolved now.

I have (domain) users who have been assigned a "Report Administrator" rule.  They can create and edit reports remotely.  But they cannot edit queries b/c the SQL server Report Builder prompts for credentials to the Data Source when opening the dialog box to edit the query.

The error is "unable to connect to data source", with details showing that the login failed for the domain user.

I've tried adding a SQL login for one of the domain users but it did not work in my initial tests. Maybe I did something wrong?

I'm new to SQL Report Builder. Can someone walk me through what's missing for these domain users to be able to access the Data Source so they can edit queries?
