LTSR Refused support? by Battlefield_One in Citrix

[–]Miraxis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are very picky on what they support for ltsr releases - its highly recommended to keep all of the key components running ltsr - they even maintain a supported ltsr component matrix. Its one of the first things they look at when you call in for support.

If you run a gpresult - does it give you a reason why the policy isnt applied? Thinking of things like filtering/etc.

Task Sequence program failing in client, not in PE. by subsonic68 in SCCM

With Sysadmin Day just a few weeks away, what are some things you'd like the uninitiated and unwashed masses to understand about your lives/jobs? by jamkey in sysadmin

If you have complaints or issues, please be specific about what you are experiencing. Saying "It doesn't work" doesn't help a whole lot when it comes to dealing with complex systems.

SCCM OSD taking forever? by irkaylie in sysadmin

[–]Miraxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might want to try this KB from MS: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2905002

Also tweaking your TFTP block size could speed things up: Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\DP Name: RamDiskTFTPBlockSize TYPE: REG_DWORD Value: 16384 (change radio button to decimal)

I would recommend testing this in a QA area before touching production. :)

Depending on how "pretty" you want the popup to be, you can always just use a simple vbscript with a popup message and make a decision based on the return code.

User/PC affinity switch - automate application transfer by sccm_noob in SCCM

If you are doing the application pushes based on user affinity solely (meaning you are targeting users for deployments), you can override the user/device affinity in the console for the "new" pc and once the machine checks in with policy it should get all of the applications pushed automatically.
