SCCM 2012 Updates & Packages Not Installing

[FN-GM]

Both New & Old Seem broken.

 

Thanks

@Gatt i am getting the error above on the applying operating system stage. I have tried redistribution the WIM file. Thanks

[FN-GM]

Anything please?

[Gatt]

Is this a captured WIM or a Task Sequence? (If the latter it could be one of your packages that has the mismatched hash)

Could also be a driver package

 

Guessing the SMSTSLog doesn't help much?

[FN-GM]

Its the latter.

 

No the log doesn't help at all.

 

I have removed all packages from my DP but it doesn't seem to be removing the packages from the disk on the DP. Why would that be please? My idea is so i can totally redistribute all my packages from a fresh.

 

Thanks

[Gatt]

Sounds like the DP role is screwed

You may need to remove the packages from the DP and then uninstalled the DP(and maybe the Management Point too), remove it from disk, reboot, and start again.

Also remove any Dist groups, etc from within SCCM.

[FN-GM]

I might backup my existing half working box, and restore onto another. What do you think?

 

Thanks

[Gatt]

Yeah that may be a good idea - though if the fault is with SCCM - yo may be backing up the problem too

Damn I hate software at times

[FN-GM]

I have a backup from just before i started all this so should be ok to get back somewhere.

 

If the problem happens on the new server, i might have to shell out for an MS support ticket

[Gatt]

Ouch - though at least they will help!

I have 2 free tickets still with my TechNet subs - but holding onto them for dear life! lol

[FN-GM]

I have Technet with EEEs licencing, the support site is telling me i dont have support tickets

[FN-GM]

Right i have opened an MS support case. I have 2 that will expire at the end of the month anyways. Will report back

[Gatt]

Hopefully they'll get to the bottom of it for you!

[FN-GM]

Taking a while to get back to me. I need SCCM back

[Gatt]

what's their SLA for TechNet/EEE subscribers?

 

Worst Case = Your DB is screwed... and no amount if SCCM rebuilds will help if that is the case

 

Really hope that isn't the case though

[FN-GM]

I have a backup before i start meddling so we should be ok. I haven't go for the server rebuild yet. Just going to see what MS say.
