.\new-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1 fails to verify OU

2012-01-17T15:33:25Z

So I got this script executed at my Mailbox Server, I’m using Exchange 2010 SP1 by the way. But it can’t verify the Organization Unit (OU).

So to make it work just add a parameter after the command script

.\new-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1 –OU domainname.com/Users mine like this

and that’s it, happy monitoring with SCOM

VMM Naming Convention

2011-09-14T09:28:51Z

This is HILARIOUS!

I’ve got error when installing SCVMM 2012 RC, terribly sorry I didn’t print screen the error, but the same error explanation just like this link :

http://jeffwouters.nl/index.php/2011/06/virtual-machine-manager-cannot-process-the-request-because-an-error-occurred-while-authenticating-srv-scvmm-01-network-lan/

The above link is happening with SCVMM 2008 R2 SP1

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/virtualmachingmgrsetup/thread/46fd012d-f5ac-4025-aac1-29f62f1c6124/

and once again, the above link is happening with SCVMM 2012 Beta, now is happening to me, arrghh

Renaming the hostname is pretty easy, but because this is my lab environment and I put all the roles & services together including AD CS roles!

How to export subnet in a specified Sites?

2011-09-06T05:12:16Z

Active Directory Sites and Services doesn’t provide this, it doesn’t have an export option, so I come to think in mind if there’s no GUI provide, it can by using PowerShell .

So here is the script, just copy paste to text editor and save it using .ps1 extension.

$siteName =  "Default-First-Site-Name"
$configNCDN = (Get-ADRootDSE).ConfigurationNamingContext
$siteContainerDN = ("CN=Sites," + $configNCDN)
$siteDN = "CN=" + $siteName + "," + $siteContainerDN
$siteObj = Get-ADObject -Identity $siteDN -properties "siteObjectBL", "description", "location" 
foreach ($subnetDN in $siteObj.siteObjectBL) {
    Get-ADObject -Identity $subnetDN -properties "siteObject", "description", "location" 
}

DHCP broke the WDS :(

2011-08-12T07:29:57Z

Ok, here the story. I’ve got 1 box SCCM Server, include PXE Service Point (PSP), WDS installed in it too.

First of all the DHCP is using a network device, because limitation of the network device operating system then I decided to install DHCP roles at the SCCM server.

But after the DHCP is up, the Admin guy decided that the DHCP server have to move to Domain Controller. Of course I remove DHCP roles at SCCM server.

Then something bad happen! I can’t deploy OSD again no error issue at SCCM logs, then I go to event viewer Windows Deployment Service, bingo! this error came up:

An error occurred while trying to create the UDP endpoint for WDSTFTP provider on interface 10.1.1.6:69. This can happen if the network interface was disabled or changed, or some other application is already using the port. The provider will not be able to receive requests on this interface.

Error Information: 0x2740

I really think hard what’s really happen with the network interface, what the hell happen anyway?! After some tracing down the event viewer, the error appear after I restart SCCM server, after I remove the DHCP roles!

So I’m guessing the DHCP roles not remove cleanly. The binding to my network interface still there. So the solution is deleting registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\<guid>

Just delete the guid that have DHCP entry in it, crazy huh? But it works, error gone

Maintenance Task status of SCCM

2011-08-12T07:01:59Z

So many maintenance task running at SCCM server, to figure it out, you need a query to your SCCM Database, here you go:

select *,
floor(DATEDIFF(ss,laststarttime,lastcompletiontime)/3600) as Hours,
floor(DATEDIFF(ss,laststarttime,lastcompletiontime)/60)- floor(DATEDIFF(ss,laststarttime,lastcompletiontime)/3600)*60 as Minutes,
floor(DATEDIFF(ss,laststarttime,lastcompletiontime))- floor(DATEDIFF(ss,laststarttime,lastcompletiontime)/60)*60 as TotalSeconds
from SQLTaskStatus

the result just like this, neat isn’t it

2011-04-17T13:36:54Z

Okay, is quite easy to enable agent proxy for single server, but what about you have to enable more than 50 servers ? a bit tiring right ?

So my internet friend Boris Yanushpolsky create a tool that facilitate it so you can bulk enable . How to use it ? pretty easy .

Double clict the application, click File > Connect

Type the RMS name, click Connect

There you go, a lot of group appear, click one of it then at the right pane will list all the server, right click the server that you want to proxy enable then choose Enable proxying

You can download ProxySettings. Enjoy!

Create Collection Windows 7 at SCCM

2011-01-15T12:58:40Z

Menulis agak susah buat saya kalau boleh jujur, kenapa bisa begitu ? Pertama, waktu. Ya, hampir setiap hari pulang tidak tentu dari kantor, sampai rumah sudah letih kecuali ada call untuk VPN ke tempat client . Yang kedua mungkin saya yang malas, he2x .

Malam minggu ini kebetulan tidak pergi, jadi ya saya sempatkan diri untuk nulis di blog. Ok, let’s get it started!. Ketika kita telah melakukan instalasi SCCM 2007 SP2 dan apa yang kita butuhkan tidak ada ? Windows 7 Systems Collection! Oleh karena itu saya akan menjelaskan bagaimana kita membuat collection tersebut.

Pertama-tama buka ConfigMgr Console, expand Site Database, Computer Management, right click Collections, choose New Collection

Maka akan muncul seperti jendela di bawah ini :

Give it a Name and Comment, then click Next. At the Membership Rules, click the tiny icon just like database one Don’t forget to give it a Name

Click Edit Query Statement, click Criteria tab, and then click the yellow star

Configure the following criteria :

Criterion Type: Simple value
Where: System Resource – Operating System Name and Version
Operator: is like
Value: Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 6.1

Click OK three times when you finished.

Click Next three times, and Close. Ok, that’s a wrap, now you can see all the Windows 7 Systems at your ConfigMgr Console

ConfigMgr Users

2010-12-20T12:16:54Z

Skenarionya adalah ketika install suatu produk dalah hal ini adalah SCCM, misalkan user A yang merupakan member Domain Admins. Sampai akhir hayat biasanya user A yang digunakan untuk memanage produk tersebut .

Nah bagaimana mau menambahkan user lain untuk memanage si SCCM, pertama buka SCCM Console, expand Site Database > Security Rights > Users

Klik kanan Users, pilih Manage Users

Maka akan muncul jendela seperti di bawah ini ; Klik Next untuk melanjutkan

Karena saya akan menambahkan user baru, maka saya pilih yang "Add a new user:” ; klik Browse kemudian masukkan user yang dikehendaki, klik Next

Nah di bawah ini adalah jendela dimana user ini bisa dapat hak akses untuk kemana saja, kasarnya bisa ngapain aja sih user si IrvanPr, karena IrvanPr ini mau jadi admin, saya copy dari user demo yang merupakan admin SCCM sebelumnya. Klik Next

Source user adalah demo, klik Next saja untuk melanjutkan

Accept the default value, then click Next

Baca Summary nya kalau mau , klik Next

Tunggu progressnya hingga selesai , Close kalau sudah selesai

Selesai dech, IrvanPr sudah jadi Admin SCCM .
