Just a friendly reminder for anybody using SCCM 2007 or SMS 2003 SP3. Microsoft released a security bulletin, and a patch, for a vulnerability in both of the mentioned products. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms12-062

My company wants to start appending company wide image based email signatures on emails. I hate this idea. Can anyone give me a list of reasons to bring up on why this is such a lovely decision so I can attempt to shut this down before it even starts?

You can't copy/paste the text out if you want to *do* anything with it. It's going to look like poo poo unless the file size is so big that it puts a strain on your servers/bandwidth.

Because when sending emails internally a signature is just a waste of space, especially when reading on a phone. Because unless it's created in an automated fashion people are unlikely to update the mailto: with their details.

I'd probably just stick to "if it's not plain text it should go straight to trash/spam". God i hate html-emails.. I'm currently, by hand, migrating old emails from the old crm to our new, i've filtered out .gif, .jpg and .png just because it's 99.999% certain that it's a logo or stupid stuff like that, it's just a picture showing the company logo and you'll _NEVER_ want to watch it anyway.

Don't be overly dramatic about that storage space. 100 emails per user times 100kB per image times $15k per TB is 15 cents per day and user. And those are extremely generous numbers. Give management that number and they can decide for themselves whether having prettied up emails is worth a couple hundred additional expenses per day. If marketing says that they will get more customers with pretty pictures in the signature and that it will be worth it in the long time, then let them try.

I'm slowly getting enough time to finish configuring our SCCM2012. One thing that came to my mind and didn't quickly find an answer in google, and since i'm not at work i cannot check for a setting. How do you configure new update notifications in SCCM2012? It's a setting somewhere in SCCM2012 since you don't configure WSUS when you install it?

 ???You need to push your software updates, not just "approve" them like in WSUS. Notification just pops up in the corner saying you have something to update.

While not technically "software", has anyone seen or heard of a script that can take a list of Dell service tags and grab a list of installed components such as CPU, Memory, HDD, etc off of the Dell website at the Dell Support Website?

Spiceworks automatically creates a clickable link from the service tag that opens a new browser tab to the Dell site so it must be a fairly simple URL. You'd still have to do some page scraping to pull out the specs though.

Ach, i wrote my text poorly, i should have mentioned that i mean the email notifications for new updates synchronized from Windows Update. WSUS was able to send email notifications of all new synchronized security patches and i would believe SCCM2012 is also able, i just haven't been able to find the setting yet.

We're slowly changing to Active Directory from eDirectory. We have GPOs to give different computers different DNS suffixes (so one may be it.domain and another budget.domain). While the policy immediately takes effect on the computer, confirmed with ipconfig /all, it takes a few reboots of the computer for DNS (server 2008) to move the record to the correct location. Is this normal? Soon we'll get SCCM and Forefront and all that good stuff. The only people that don't like Dameware for remote control are the people that won't be using it. They are trying to convince us that using Windows Remote Assistance will be easier somehow. We already use VNC so if we don't go with Dameware we'll just stick with VNC. It looks like SCCM also provides remote control so maybe we'll just go with that if it works well.

Anyone ever use Frontrange? Their stuff looks pretty nice. http://www.frontrange.com/client-management/ We had a demo and were pretty impressed. They have some cool tricks like LANProbe, which, when you install one client in a subnet, it will scan neighbors to do discovery. Seems to quite popular in Europe. Scores middles of the pack in the dreaded Magic Quadrant. We have to move away from from SCCM because it is too expensive, which I totally don't get. Supposedly we have a Microsoft EA, they even get content from our company, we have 5,000 desktops/laptops and 3,000+ servers/VMs. MS should practically be giving it to us.

Yaos posted:Thanks for the information. I was reading some threads where people said it was awful but that was on the older versions of SCCM. It works pretty good. The only bug I've found in it so far is down to multiple monitor configurations. If the primary display is not the uppermost left display then you'll get artifacts on the screen and some remote display corruption. It's usable still, but kinda annoying. It's also a bug in the base RDP protocol, which the SCCM product team have stated is not in their scope to fix. If you're not running multiple displays on clients though, it's great. Doesn't seem to support clipboard sharing though, which can be annoying.

I don't know about 2012, but in 2007, you couldn't pass a UAC prompt through remote control (or I was too dumb to know how to figure out how to make it work).

Has anyone ever had a machine that loses it's secure channel every 30 days without fail? I've got this one server that loses it's secure channel to the DC every 30 days and I can't figure out why for the life of me. many other servers on the domain are not experiencing this issue. The machine is able to authenticate users and make use of SQL services etc on other servers during those 30 days, it syncs time from the PDC without issue but without fail it loses the secure channel at 30 days. I don't have a clue as to why it's failling to change its machine password. any tips?

Error logs are showing Netlogon errors "The session setup to the windows NT or 2000 domain controller x for the domain y failed because the domain controller did not have an account for <machinename>" I did however just notice that someone had set the Machine Accounts Primary Group to Domain User rather than Domain Computer which wasn't even in the list of groups for that account. I'm going to guess that's the cause. I can see the machine account has been set up with access to the SQL server, an application on this machine needs that to access it's database :/ Would I be right in assuming that it should have sufficient access rights to the DB if it's primary group is Domain Computer but with a secondary group of Domain User or something more sensible? theperminator fucked around with this message at 06:54 on Oct 2, 2012 |

So how do Office 2010 updates work? I have an install package that I made that includes SP1, which I did by just dumping all the MSPs into the Updates folder. I'd like to keep that up, but I can't really figure out if there's an easy way to do that. In theory I suppose I'd just get a cumulative update to get it up to date, then every month dump that months patch into the folder as well. But the monthly patches seem to be security updates and the cumulative updates seem to be only hotfixes? I'm so confused. E: What I'm trying to do is cut down on the insane number of patches my SCCM task sequence installs each time (currently 125) because it automatically times out after a half hour. So the more I can offload those patches into previous installs (aka applying all the patches in the Office install rather than during the Install Software Updates sequence) the better. The overall time will still be the same, but it will be less time spent in Install Software Updates. And here's the 30 minute timeout I'm talking about : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2009754 FISHMANPET fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Oct 15, 2012 |

How do you guys manage drivers in SCCM? I've had to step up and take over the apps/drivers/OSD stuff at my work recently (I'm teaching myself as I go) and it seems a lot of people think creating driver packages/using WMI queries is the best way to go in an environment with many different models of PC. At the moment we basically rely on Auto Apply Drivers to choose and install the right drivers, and whenever I mention changing things our SCCM consultant tries to talk me out of it, mostly because of the increased overhead involved.

If it is for one off things (non-automated), take a look at this script someone put together one the spiceworks forums. You put in a PC name and it will show everything in the add/remove programs window with options to uninstall or silent uninstall (if available). I have used it a handful of times over the past year for little things here and there and it has worked fine. http://community.spiceworks.com/scripts/show/915-remote-uninstall-software-hta

We have DA rolled out in my organization using UAG. It mostly works fine, but if your users need to use some websites that allow traffic from a certain ip, then DA can cause some problems. Personally i'm very satisfied with DA.

I use WMI queries and "Install Package" because it allows me to keep the file structures as they are from the HP packages, which makes updating easier and removing superceded drivers actually possible. If I receive a HP driver update email for a PC model that I have in use I can just look up what package that replaces and swap them out instead of having to go fish for multiple drivers in a 1000+ list. Besides, not all drivers play well with "auto apply". Case in point is the Quick Keys driver for the EliteBook 2540p. If you have that in SCCM and use auto apply, the 2530p will try to install that driver and then bluescreen on the next boot. peak debt fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Nov 6, 2012 |

I don't believe you can install both a service pack and then additional updates when running Office setup. You best way to cut down on the amount of patches is to inject them into your captured WIM file. ConfigMgr 2012 has this functionality within the UI or you can also use command line tools such as DISM.exe

Yeah, I got really excited about the feature when I saw it. We're waiting on a new VMware cluster to upgrade to 2012. And while that cuts down a lot of Windows updates, that still doesn't help integrating Office updates into the Office package, unless 2012 has a way to do that as well.
