ConfigMgr 2007 RTM\SP1 - Component Status Summarizer acting like a dead duck?
28 August 2008 11:06

This issue won't impact many of you, and to induce the following behaviour you really need to go toggle some values most SMS Admins leave well alone. Hence why this one hasn't been spotted in the wild (there is a technet forum thread on this ...). Have you noticed in your environment that your Component Status Summarization data is not being replicated... Read More...

ConfigMgr SP1 installation causes BSOD
22 August 2008 11:27

Had an interesting problem yesterday, ConfigMgr RTM upgrade to SP1 two thirds of the way through induced a BSOD. Hard to troubleshoot, system reboots and all you're left with is a minidump (depending on your OS configuration for debugging) and a partially completed ConfigMgrSetup log file. ConfigMgrSetup log file indicates that the failure point took place... Read More...

ConfigMgr client install failure - Errors 1708 & 1603 in
22 August 2008 11:13

Seen an interesting issue where the CCMSETUP parameters incorrectly specify MP as SMSMP, resulting in failure and exotic errors appearing in the CLIENT.MSI and CCMSETUP logs: Just need to fire up CLIENT.MSI in SMSTRACE, find Return value 3 and you'll possibly see the following: WARNING: The path passed for the TRK file is empty. SMSMP cannot be specified... Read More...

Looking for a UK based ConfigMgr admin
21 July 2008 12:32

Isn't it funny, as that saying goes, you wait around for a bus and three come along at once. Well I've not been waiting for a bus, instead I've been waiting around for some exceptional ConfigMgr projects to get stuck in too. I'm taken care of now, but wonder if there are any UK ConfigMgr consultants\contractors out there that are twiddling their... Read More...

SCCM2007 - Exam
14 June 2008 11:52

I passed the 70-401 - Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 exam yesterday (13th June 2008). Wasn't as easy as the SMS2003 exam I have to admit. But, I passed with a score high enough to make me buzz all day. I found some of the questions to be really challenging, a lot of NAP and Software Udpates questions, a spread of what I'm calling generic... Read More...

Microsoft have released a SCCM2007 VHD for download at Microsoft Download Center Not too sure why it's saying the download can be between 551.6MB and 7551.6MB when there are several files that seem to be parts of a single archive: WIN03_SCCM.part01.exe - 700.0 MB WIN03_SCCM.part02.rar - 700.0 MB WIN03_SCCM.part03.rar - 700.0 MB WIN03_SCCM.part04.rar - 700...
