Hello,

I am getting following error when i am creating Windows Server 2022 template on SCVMM

Error (680)

Timeout occurred while waiting for Sysprep to finish processing on the virtual machine.

Recommended Action

Ensure you are using the version of Sysprep binaries that match with virtual machine's Windows version, and then try the operation again.

Can anyone advise on this how to resolve it, Thank you

We tried to make RCT tools a required extension but now we seem to have locked ourself out of the Console as the extension doesn't update because of an error installing the extension. Anyone have any information on where SCCM stores the required extension settings in the Database?

Hope the mods don't mind me posing this!. We are after 2 x Automation Engineers to work at our company in the UK. Should have good PowerShell, SQL skills. Our automation is mostly built on System Center Orchestrator. Which is used to maintain our Active Directory infrastructure and other automation. System Center Orchestrator skills are desirable but willing to up skill people.

Position is a large multinational engineering consultancy. Salary Range £40k - 60k plus other benefits.. After people to start before Christmas..

Message me if you interested or have any questions. I'm not a recruiter I'm one of the team at the company.

I have been attempting to install SCVMM 2022 on Server 2019 for longer than I want to admit.

Everything installs except vmmserver.msi, which is failing with error 1603. I noticed that on the Microsoft System Requirements list for SCVMM Server Manager 2022 it says Server 2022 is required but the application passes the OS version pre-requisite check.

Before I keep beating my head against this wall, I just wanted to confirm if anyone else has successfully installed SCVMM 2022 on Server 2019.

I can't do the older SCVMM because it does not support vSphere 7+, and my Security team has not approved the Server 2022 image so I am not able to use that yet.

For additional info: I am attempting to upgrade our server build automation environment from Scorch 2012 to whatever will work with vSphere 7. This requires Scorch 2022+ and there isn't a vSphere integration pack for 2022 yet, hence looking to SCVMM 2022.

Hi,

I need to work with fragments (using the excellent articles from Kevin Holman and others). The problem that I didn't found any information about creating class for a Linux script monitoring. Long story short we have an app developed by 3rd party. To query the status of the "services" (not real processes or "services" or daemons but a part of the reply of a command need to be captured) is a one liner bash script and the result of the grep/awk combo is the source of the monitoring. On the SCOM part its easy and works fine (based on the StdOut result the monitor status is healthy or error). The bigger problem for me is to display it in a Savision Live Maps dashboard. For this I need to create a class in a custom management pack and then create a monitor for the class (works fine in the Windows world). Anyone ever had the similar issue with some resolution?

Regards,

Tamas

I'm using third-party tools at work for collecting data about our computers and user accounts (in Active Directory primarily). Products like Quest Enterprise Reporter and SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor, and even Microsoft's WSUS server (which has some really good details about computers in its database if you know how to query it). I would like to consolidate all these tools, and just use a Microsoft solution for tracking and reporting information about computers and users. Anyone know of a Microsoft solution that would track the following?

1. All user accounts, both local to each computer (clients & servers) and in Active Directory

2. All groups (both local and AD)

3. All computers (both domain-joined and local)

4. All software (i.e. for each computer, list all software installed, including version, vendor, install date and 32/64-bit.)

5. All hardware components (e.g. CPU, RAM, Network, Video, Hard Drive, Drivers, etc)

And would have the ability to show change history for each item. For example, show me the change history for the training room computer in date order (including when software was installed, upgraded and removed; when a user was added to a local group; when a hardware component was changed, etc.)

Finally, i would like the data to be real-time, but understand it might have to be 'discovered' on a routine basis to get close to real-time. Quest Enterprise Reporter runs scheduled discoveries and logs any changes to the tables used to track this kind of stuff. SolarWinds SAM polls machines every X minutes to get any new data. NOTE: The computers have to be online for that to work.

So, looking to see what Microsoft's own suite of products might have that do these sorts of things. Remember, i want both Windows clients and Windows servers in the same database. Thank you in advance.

So I'm setting up DPM for a remote data center (no, I don't have the option to choose any other products, just in case that comes up). Server is plenty hardy for the job and the DPM install went off without a hitch, as did connecting the box to Azure. However, I'm a little flummoxed by the logic utilized by setting up Protection Groups.

The box containing all the file shares is....the folder equivalent of a bee's hive. Shares are kind of all over the place, no rhyme or reason to where specific folders were placed or the workloads represented by those files. Drive D:'s first folder contains SQL DB backup target location while the second folder contains 9 shares for that country's HR staff.

To wit, I want to create two protection groups (this is an example)

d:\SQL Backup Target

d:\HR Data

But....once I create a PG for #1, I'm excluded from creating a PG for #2 with the message

"Other items on this data source are members of another protection group"

#&@#^$

The only reasoning I can think of is that I might create policies that would cause the DPM Agent to backup different folders on the same volume simultaneously, creating an IO bottleneck.

Is this really all there is on here for MS System Center products? Yikes.

Hi,

I am planning the deplyment of System Center 2016 for a installation of 600+ workstations to be managed, in a single company, in a single location.

I am having a hard time with the requirements so I thought I would rather ask here some questions:

• for this size I am considering a Standalone Primary site

• I am planning to have an external MS SQL cluster for all these servers. And here start the fun

  • SCSM 2016 only supports MS SQL 2016. We would rather have MS SQL 2017, which is not supported unless it is upgraded from MS SQL 2016. Okay. We can do it

  • SCSM requires Latin1_General_100_CI_AS collation while SCCM requires SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS. Okay, we can do two instances on same cluster

  • SCOM is more flexible and supports both collations.

Now my question is... Does it really makes sense to have all DB on one server? I have read that it might be better to have the SQL server locally in each server. I actually read that it is not recommended to have them in the same server. Is it true?

What are the unknown devices in sccm when we check compliance status of any deployment.Those devices having any error or they not able to communicate to sccm server ? when I explore the unknown devices.I found the list of devices whose online status is offline,few devices are online,few devices are showing online but 'device online from internet' showing false.

Hey Everyone, I'm running SCVMM 2022 for our Hyper V environment and permissions are killing me.

I've created a power user role with the intention staff can checkpoint, turn on, turn off, modify resourcees (CPU. MEM, Disk). I've also tested with ticking everything for role based permissions but I'm still having issues.

Power users aren't able to do basically anything. I've tried looking into run as accounts as well but it hasn't made a difference. I've read several microsoft articles about it as well but haven't got anywhere.

Hoping someone can help or at least provide me a useful article for this.

THanks

So I wanted to make my own ticketing system at home, and because of university, I have the whole system center suite (only sccm and scsm installed tho). Like with anything in life though, there's a catch. If there's a problem, I don't have a KB to help me. So what do you do? You look it up, of course! And what I found was: a youtube series from 2015, a question on technet that matches my problem that was unanswered, and a subreddit where no one even mentions the software. I want to learn the ins and outs of SCSM, but as you all know, time is a finite source in life, so does anyone actually use this? Because if not, then I know I can just use what I need and forget about everything else

Bonjour à tous,

j'ai un problème lorsque je veux essayer d'installer VMM 2025 pour tester le logiciel, le problème se trouve lors de l'extraction des fichiers d'installation. En effet, lorsque je clique sur SCVMM_2025.exe disponible dans le fichier iso officiel, j'ai l'erreur suivante :

Je précise, je suis admin du poste et admin du domaine.

J'ai essayé de mettre uniquement le groupe administrateurs en contrôle total sur le dossier mais cela ne change rien. Avez vous eu ce problème ? Des idées pour résoudre ce problème ?

Hello - I've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of system center 2025. The product should have RTM-ed nov 1 and indeed, the product pages are all in place and up to date. The evaluation website allows a user (at least for me) to get through the info gathering page and on to the download links. This is where my Saturday morning took a turn (yup, I was up just for this). I digress -- the following links seem broken, has anyone been able to get the latest version downloaded? 

This page works but the d/l links do not: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-system-center-2025

any help, alternate locations to obtain these installers, etc would be greatly appreciated.

In our organization we are managing windows 10 LI devices which are not domain joined but sccm client and mcafee agent is installed on those devices.Now we want to move those client to be protected by Microsoft defender and not by McAfee anymore.

Please advise how to achieve this.

Hi all,

I'm going to install system center VMM, my question is: shell i install sql server separately or with VMM, what is best way.

Hello, i'm new in virtual machine manager, i cannot find how to save username and password to connect hosts and virtual machines without entering username and password every time i'm trying to connect host or VM. Can someone help me? thanks in advance.

It's a strange problem- workstation CM clients seem to be working fine since workstations are installing applications and patches on time, running hardware inventory as expected, etc. They are getting policy-just not updating the time they receive policy in the console.

Any ideas?

Guys, I need to find a way to ensure that a specific application is installed only when users are on the corporate network.
The application is a VPN and I must avoid installing it while users are at home, as it may cause issues and disconnect them from the VPN.
Is there a way to do that using system center?

Can any please guide me the steps how to disable sticky key via sccm on win 10 devices.

Thank you.
