Windows 10 systems pulling from Akamai CDN servers even though a GPO is configured on them to pull from the SCCM SUP.

$

We have a couple of Win 10 Enterprise systems that were just newly imaged and for some reason they keep trying to pull from the Akamai CDN servers for updates rather than from the SCCM DPs and I have no idea why. 

These two systems are killing the circuits when I connect them to the network, so I really need to understand why these are the ONLY systems doing this when other systems are just fine. 

Can someone please offer some guidance here?

Thank you 


DCM Compliance script

Hi,

Can you anyone help me to get a vb script to check the below security policy using DCM.

Network Security: Force logoff when logon hours expire

I have a powershell script to check the compliance of the server however our environment there are many servers doesn't have powershell version 2.0 and dotnet 3.5 hence we got discovery error on this particular policy. To fix the below error msg we need to install powershell engine v2.0 on the server.

Can you please share the vbscript if anyone have it.

Thanks,

VJ

SCCM client not receiving updates

$

I'm trying to test out a new SCCM environment I created, SCCM 2012. Some software updates will be sent to the client computer, whereas other updates will not. Applications for the most part send to the client a few hours after they are supposed to.

I am able to send Google Chrome to a client, as well as some MS Windows 7 software updates. However, when I try to send a whole update package it doesn't receive on the client end. 

When I look at LocationServices.log I receive the following errors:

<![LOG[Could not load logging configuration for component ClientLocation. Using default values.]LOG]!><time="16:30:56.310+420" date="09-19-2016" component="LocationServices" context="" type="2" thread="3556" file="stdlogging.cpp:480">

Windows 10 anniversary update fails 0x8000FFFF

$

0

Created a CB service plan and ran it.  It populated the Package and created the Software update group.  The contents of the SUG is "Feature update to Windows 10 Enterprise, version 1607, en-us".  It shows downloaded and deployed.

On the client side, the client sees the update and downloads it.  The contents of the ccmcache folder are these two files: 

"WindowsUpdateBox.exe"  and a rather long filename ending in "CLIENTENTERPRISE_VOL_x64fre_en-us.esd"

Client is 1511.  SCCM is 1606.

When in software center, it begins to install but will fail almost immediately.  The software change returned error code "0x8000FFFF" (which seems to be a catastrophic failure).

The WUAHandler.log shows this:

Going to search using WSUS update source. 
Synchronous searching started using filter: 'UpdateID = 'af57b397-b222-494e-ab73-17ddddd6e44e' AND DeploymentAction = *'...

Installation job encountered some failures. Error = 0x80240022. Commit Result = 0x00000001.

Things I have tried:

Removed the update group, package and Service Plan and then re-created them and re-downloaded the Win10 feature update.

Disabled Upgrade classification, removed feature upgrades related to 1607, enabled Upgrade classification, re-sync.  Same issues.

Windows 10 Office 2016 Products do Not appear in SCCM

I currently updated to Current Branch and have installed all updates on my server (Server 2012 R2 and SCCM CB 1607)  In WSUS I can finally see the options for Windows 10 and Office 2016 products in the products and clasifications tab however when I am in SCCM under Sites Roles- Component Settings- SUP those checkboxes are nowhere to be found.  I am sure I am missing something simple but I've tried just about everything I can think of.  I have even uninstalled and reinstalled my SUP and WSUS to no avail.  Any assistance would be helpful.

New Patching Model

Hi All

I need a bit of guidance on the new patching model from MS

I am running SCCM2012 R2

I have read this article from Michael Niehaus  - thank you

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/windowsitpro/2016/10/07/more-on-windows-7-and-windows-8-1-servicing-changes/

I am however a bit confused about what KB's should be installed and what not - you go from one set of pre-requisites to the next ending up downloading a whole lot of updates

so my question is

what updates do I need and what are the order in which to install them -apologies if this seems like a real daft question but I think there are a lot of confusion out there

thx Mike

Using the Invoke-WsusServerCleanup cmdlet to clean out obsolete updates in WSUS on my SUP.

$

Is there a way to know what the progress is when I run the following command on my SUP?

Get-WsusServer | Invoke-WsusServerCleanup –CleanupObsoleteUpdates -CleanupUnneededContentFiles -CompressUpdates -DeclineExpiredUpdates -DeclineSupersededUpdates 


When I run it, it just sits there with a blinking cursor which tells me I must have quite a bit of obsolete updates that need to get cleaned out.

It has not timed out, but it appears that it is running. 

BTW, it has been running for the last 6 hours. 

I got this from Kent Agerlund's blog post here: http://blog.coretech.dk/kea/house-of-cardsthe-configmgr-software-update-point-and-wsus/

I also ran exec spGetObsoleteUpdatesToCleanup in SSMS on my SUP and it showed that there were over 9,000 obsolete update - YIKES!!

So this probably explains why the command is taking so long to run, but I just would like to know if there is any way I can follow its progress?

Thanks


Is it ok to use one deployment package for all windows updates?

$
0
0

Hi,

I was wondering if it is best practice or at least feasible to have only one deployment package for all software updates? Example, for year 2016, would it be ok to have 1 deployment package for Jan to Dec software releases? We don't do specific deployment per OS or application here in our environment. What we do is whatever release there is in a month, we package it as one and deploy it per collection (Server, Desktop, Custom, etc.)

If having one deployment package for all release is possible, would it have any significant effect on the clients or distribution points?

Thanks!

Windows Updates through WSUS (sccm) and Windows 8.1 : PTError: 0x80244007

Hello, We are having issue's on some of our clients not getting windows updates.

We are using sccm 2012 R2 to deploy updates with wsus.

Done so far

Resetted bits, reinstalled client, uninstalled all recent updates except on that couldn't. ran sfc /scannow succesfully, resetted wmi, directly connecting to windows update server works fine. wsus settings are correct. And most machines (99%) do get updates with exact same setup.

Does anyone have any idea what could be done to resolve this?

Hi,

Is there any good blog/recommendation for Monthly rollups install, Oct 2016 onwards via SCCM 2012?

Should the same patch management process to be followed even for monthly rollups October onwards that we have been following till September 2016? Or any other special catch is there?

SCCM Internet-Based-Client-Management DMZ

$

Hi All, 

I`m currently experiencing a strange issue where I can see internet based clients on my SCCM primary console connected and reporting Policy Requests, Hardware Scans etc. which has DMZ site server as a assigned management point. 

I can deploy applications to these devices and I have previously been able to deploy Windows updates from the DMZ Site system which has MP, DP and SUP roles installed. Reviewing the logs on the DMZ site system everything appears to be fine.

The problem is I have multiple 401 entries in my IIS logs on port 443 from all the clients attempting to authenticate to the server, I have a PKI infrastructure and all these devices have enrolled successfully, the DMZ site system has the correct certificate enrolled and assigned in IIS (mpcontrol confirms this).

Due to the above my clients are now struggling to find a MP and is assigning the SCCM primary (internal) server for WSUS according to the following logs and errors;

LocationServices:

DMZ Site System FQDN - ERROR_WINHTTP_SECURE_FAILURE 

ClientLocation:

Current internet management point is the only internet management point.

IIS Logs:

"Client", -, 10/14/2016, 11:25:40, W3SVC1, "SCCM Site server hostname", "SCCM Site Server IP" 484, 129, 282, 401, 5, HEAD, /ccm_system_AltAuth/request, -,

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott.

Security Monthly Quality Rollup or Security Only Quality Update in a ADR

So what are other folks doing with their ADRs for Windows Updates? You definitely don't want to install both per this post;

https:// blogs.technet.microsoft.com/windowsitpro/2016/10/07/more-on-windows-7-and-windows-8-1-servicing-changes/

I've figured out how to exclude either, but I'm still on the fence a bit on which way to go.

Add the Title parameter to your ADR and configure it with either a  -Security and Quality Rollup or -Security Only Quality Update depending on which way you decide to go.

I think the .NET rollup needs to be treated the same way.

-Security and Quality Rollup or -Security Only Update

What are you guys doing? Thanks.

Recently we have deployed the software update. after fetching the states-5 "States for an Update in Deployment" we have listed out the "update is not required" status clients and we checked the machines manually but we can install the same updates without any issue.

SCEP definitions package keeps growing?

I have an ADR with SCEP definitions only. Released = last 1 day and superseeded = NO.

The package keeps growing in size and currently is 1.6GB. It seems that all definition updates are included since the package was created 11/8-2016. Can I remove all files manually or force SCCM to cleanup the package?

I have DP located in different remote geo location with high latency and slow connection and syncing this package is not working well.

impact of a SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 site server down during workstation windows update installation deadline.

I have plans to upgrade my SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 site server O/S from server 2008 R2 to server 2012 R2.  My question is related to windows updates that have already been deployed to my workstations cache and are waiting for their installation deadline to occur before they are installed.

If my site server is not available during the installation deadline will that prevent the workstations from installing their windows updates from their cache folder? 

All machines are showing Client check passed/Active. Help please! :)

Howdy,

SCCM 2012 R2, Windows 10, Server 2012 R2.

All of a sudden, starting in August, all of our machines in SCCM are showing as Client check passed/Active when I check my software update groups for Windows Patches.  Prior to this we were always around 80% compliance and for August and September it shows 0% because everything is Unknown.  This is happening for our servers and laptops.

What's the best way to figure out what the problem is here as this just seemed to come out of no where.

Let me know what other information I can provide and I'll post it right away.

Thanks
