It's been a long day in several respects. We found out at 10:00 AM that our server bandwidth was too small for the amount of traffic we had with app the people watching the Level 5 Guides. First we moved the cable to a 100MB switch and that was ok...
Having a Task Sequence that does all your work for you is a tough job at times and depending on how many hardware platforms you have will determine how long it takes to make and test your Task Sequence. In this video I demonstrate how to advertise an...

As I stated in my other post , building a TS which will to just about everything in one TS is the key. Rather than having a few or dozens of Task Sequences, we want to have one or two that will work on all your hardware platforms. The following Level...

To start off this post which I have a lot to say, I will use the 2 words "intelligence" and "negligence" in the same sentence. You don't often hear that, but I think it sums up several experiences I have seen so far with SCCM prerequisite...
While I'm big on having WSUS 3.0 SP1 on a separate server when it comes to SCCM, I have to do what the budget calls for sometimes. In large sites where you will have thousands of clients getting updates, you may need one or more SUP servers. In a...
We want to get some fresh ideas from bloggers on The Blogcast Repository . I would like to make a challenge that we have 50 new bloggers by the end of July . Sharing your experience is a great vent and a place to call home where you can interact with...

While it's a simple process to install the console, you DO know that for every version of SMS / SCCM that provides a SP, you need to update not only the client's. but the console too. This has always been a pain point for me, but I wanted to share...
Although we may read up on service packs and other releases, we may not always see everything and Microsoft may not always tell you all the things they improved on. I found this gem just a few minutes ago and thought it was interesting. When you are not...
When you have the SCCM console open and you then open help, you may find information that is not correct. The reason for this is because the same help file was used during the beta release and before SP1 went RTM, Microsoft attempted to remove all the...
While Microsoft has a list of error codes that are associated with SCCM, the code 0x80040104 in your log file means that " Could not find reference program policy", " Make sure the reference program policy is downloaded locally. Check policy...
Upgrading to SCCM SP1 requires more than the expected configurations. You need to make sure you have a proper backup and have backed up some of the existing files before the upgrade. The guide shows what files to backup and the proper prerequisite checks...

While I love to think I have all the answers for most questions, I was very surprised by this "tid bit" today. Why, after 10 years working with SMS have I not seen this before???? I created several different security groups and had various permissions...
As most of you know, we have a new section of the site called Level 5 on the website. The Level 5 section is a formal "how to" guide on various topics. Not all of our guides are ready to be published, but David Stein has done an excellent job...
Maybe this should be a forum post, but I ran into this today and wanted to share my experience. I built a central primary and a child primary. Under Client Push, the default was always SMSSITECODE=AUTO. Today, I noticed that without my changes, the SMSSITECODE...
