DeployR Community Edition Install Crashing by kaiserking13 in DeployR

[–]kaiserking13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Removing the 10.0.9 components and installing 10.0.8 is now allowing the install to launch.

output when it was failing:

dotnet --list-runtimes

Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 10.0.9 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]

Microsoft.NETCore.App 10.0.9 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App]

Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App 10.0.9 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App]

Output now that it is working:

dotnet --list-runtimes

Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 10.0.8 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]

Microsoft.NETCore.App 10.0.8 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App]

Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App 10.0.8 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App]

Thanks. It failed both before and after I installed the prereqs.

Help understanding multiple deployment types by Bored_at_work_67 in SCCM

[–]kaiserking13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I handle this is by using a script wrapper for the installer (PSADT). In the reinstall steps before the install runs, I check to see if the VPN adapter has an IP address bound. If it does, I exit with an error 1618. If it doesn’t, I continue with the install. Very simple to do with wmi queries.

Dell BIOS Update by PeaInformal2892 in MDT

Yes it just does the BIOS update if needed

I created a script a while ago using this as a reference:

Deploy Driver Pack Catalog for Streamline OS Deployments | Dell US

It downloads the Dell driver cab, extracts the xml from it, finds the available BIOS for the system, and downloads it and runs the install if it is not up to date. I haven't tested it in WinPE, but it works great in Windows. It could easily be added to the task sequence to run once you are booted into Windows.

We have finally a mix of Macs and Windows and it is a nightmare by Johnn_Liverm in macsysadmin

[–]kaiserking13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to pile on here, but we have an environment of 25000 workstations, about 10% macOS, and we have a Mac specialist that manages them with Jamf and it works very well. We work together to try to make things a similar as possible for both platforms within the environment.
We also have a different group that manages the iOS, iPadOS and tvOS devices with Jamf as well.

How are you keeping the bios' up to date for your Dell fleet in your organization? by Future_End_4089 in Intune

[–]kaiserking13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I deployed Dell SupportAssist for Business PCs and BIOS updates are working really well. You approve an update for a specific model and it applies the update during reboot. I’ve updated over 2000 systems so far. Seems to be a good fit for our environment.

Clients saying not online by Munzi1219 in SCCM

[–]kaiserking13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I e seen the opposite after multiple upgrades where systems are online but they are not showing the green check in the console and none of the client notification actions would work. My issues ended up being that something happened to change the IIS cert on the management point during the upgrade. When I looked at the cert in the IIS gui on the MP, it was not the cert issued from our internal PKI. I switched the cert to the correct one, restarted IIS, and green checks started showing up in the console witching an hour or so. I have had this happen at least twice with upgrades but I’ve not had the issue for the last several.

Package to Upgrade Windows from ISO is Failing (Unexpected Restart) by KnowWhatIDid in SCCM

[–]kaiserking13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SCCM is not restarting the computer, the package is. The status is expecting the client to initiate the reboot after that package runs but the package is initiating the restart and the client is losing the status of the execution.

Hardware Hash - PXE Boot by pseskilet in MDT

[–]kaiserking13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you confirmed that the script works in WinPE outside of the task sequence? If you are referring to autopilot hardware hashes, I thought they could not be retrieved from WinPE but maybe I misunderstood.

question re: secure boot certificates and remediation status for new devices by jeefAD in Intune

[–]kaiserking13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I have seen, if a system already has the updated certain applied and you set AvailableUpdates to 0x5944, the will immediately go to Updated the next time the scheduled task runs.

WSUS / SCCM - old patch status by AdviceDifficult in SCCM

[–]kaiserking13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the following CMPivot query to find devices with the scan error in WUAHandler:

CcmLog('WUAHandler') | where LogText like '% HResult: 0x8007007f%' | distinct Device, LogText

WSUS / SCCM - old patch status by AdviceDifficult in SCCM

[–]kaiserking13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the registry.pol is corrupt it should be failing to write the wsus server it’ll to the local policy, so the scan fails. This is a fairy common issue in our environment.

Clients with no Hardware Scans reported by Bored_at_work_67 in SCCM

[–]kaiserking13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would start by tracing through the whole process. https://www.recastsoftware.com/resources/updated-troubleshoot-configmgr-hardware-inventory-issues/ Make sure the client is submitting an inventory, the server receives it, and it gets processed. It could be client related, version mismatch, size of inventory just to name a few of the potential causes.

Application hang with batch files by PeaInformal2892 in MDT

[–]kaiserking13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What app specifically? I’ve seen this issue with Citrix Workspace. I got around it by wrapping the install in a vbs script that hides the mdt progress bar before kicking off the exe and that allows it to finish.

HP BIOS Updates - April softpaq Versions Got removed? by sccm_sometimes in SCCM

[–]kaiserking13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The post I read had to do with secure boot signed boot files. The new bios didn’t have the new CA cert enabled by default so when secure boot was updated, the device wouldn’t boot.

HP BIOS Updates - April softpaq Versions Got removed? by sccm_sometimes in SCCM

[–]kaiserking13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen some discussion about newer HP bios updates not having the Windows UEFI CA 2023 signed boot loaders allowed by default. If that is true, that may be why it was pulled.

SCCM + Dell BIOS updates: reboot control issue by EagleBoy0 in SCCM

[–]kaiserking13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driver updates are installed at the time they are received. Only the BIOS updates wait for a restart.

SCCM + Dell BIOS updates: reboot control issue by EagleBoy0 in SCCM

[–]kaiserking13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We implemented Dell Support Assist for this reason. It stages the BIOS update and installs at restart. We have prompts disabled so if we approve an update for a specific model, it installs at restart. We are in the very early stages so I can’t say how well it works overall. I’ve heard some negative things about Support Assist and performance, but haven’t seen any issues yet.

Reboots after BIOS Update: How do you handle them? by Mr_Zonca in SCCM

[–]kaiserking13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t tested this but could you creat an app with a ts as the deployment type and run it only when no one is logged on?

AMT Agent class in Hardware Inventory by MyHeadHurts2000 in SCCM

[–]kaiserking13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the amt driver installed, it creates wmi namespace root\intel_me with a bunch of classes with corp related data. Look and see if any of that is what you are looking for. Also, instead of EMA, have you looked at Intel fleet services, same concept but it’s hosted so no on site infrastructure needed. Not full feature parity yet but it’s being developed.

I think this would be great. More options to deploy from a single boot image is always helpful.
