Gatt Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Will need to raise a Change Request tomorrow to start the tedious process of being allowed to do this at work......
FN-GM Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Good news! It took ages for SCCM 2012 to support Windows 8. It was literally months after.
snagrat Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Good news! It took ages for SCCM 2012 to support Windows 8. It was literally months after. 90 days if I recall. Glad all MS divisions are starting to work together.
Norphy Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Is anyone else only getting a 1MB file when they try to download the 2012 R2 SP1 file? The 2012 file works OK, just not the R2 one.
Arthur Posted May 15, 2015 Author Posted May 15, 2015 Is anyone else only getting a 1MB file when they try to download the 2012 R2 SP1 file? The larger of the two files for 2012 R2 is SCCM. The other is SCEP isn't it? On my phone at the moment so can't check.
altecsole Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Has anyone got the update showing on their MS Volume Licensing site yet? Or is it okay to use the Technet Evaluation version to upgrade an existing installation?
Gatt Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 The larger of the two files for 2012 R2 is SCCM. The other is SCEP isn't it? On my phone at the moment so can't check. Nope: Service Pack Madness (not) - ConfigMgrFTW! 1
Gatt Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Interestingly the SCEP client that comes with this SP is OLDER than the one I just got from WSUS? SP1 Version: 4.7.213.0 WSUS Version: 4.8.204.0
Gatt Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 The SCEP Client wfrom SP1 (Ver 4.7.213.0) now works with Windows 10
Gatt Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 The SCEP Client wfrom SP1 (Ver 4.7.213.0) now works with Windows 10 Or rather it installs, but the native Windows Defender seems to take over...
FN-GM Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Hi, Whats the crack with these Service Packs, it talks about trails and stuff. Also why is the 2012 R2 SP1 so small? Thanks Edited June 1, 2015 by FN-GM
Arthur Posted June 1, 2015 Author Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) What's the crack with these service packs, it talks about trials and stuff. The service packs also double as evals (they won't convert your SCCM site into an evaluation version so you don't have to worry about that ). The non-eval service packs are downloadable from VLSC apparently. Also why is the 2012 R2 SP1 so small? http://blogs.technet.com/b/michaelgriswold/archive/2015/05/14/sccm-2012-sp2-and-r2sp1-from-here-to-there.aspx What may confuse people is that R2 SP1 is a very small file. It is essentially enabling the R2 feature set for those with the correct licensing to do so. An upgrade for R2 won't need it since that proper licensing will be detected from the current install.

free780 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Looks like to have added retries to hopefully get around double reboot updates during OSD.
Fazza Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Great to see they're getting everything ready for the W10 launch to help people who want to, to deploy W10.
FN-GM Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Is the final ADK ready for Windows 10? I would like to update my boot images.
Arthur Posted June 4, 2015 Author Posted June 4, 2015 Is the final ADK ready for Windows 10? Nope. Still RC I'm afraid.
FN-GM Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Since installing 2012 R2 SP1 endpoint protection isn't automatically installing on newly imaged machines. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks
snagrat Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Since installing 2012 R2 SP1 endpoint protection isn't automatically installing on newly imaged machines. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks Ah yes I have. Although I'm only testing Win10 with my new machines so thought it might be a Win10 thing
FN-GM Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Its happening with Windows 7. We have no Windows 10 on the production network yet.
Norphy Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 One thing I've just noticed with 2012 R2 SP1... when you're creating new OSD task sequences, pay close attention to the partition layout the task sequence puts in. The one that it created for me tried to make the main OS partition 99% of the remaining disk size after the EFI/System Reserved partitions and make the remaining 1% a system recovery partition. This was making my task sequence fail on the diskpart section. Removing the recovery partition and making the main partition 100% of the remaining space fixed it for me. 1
altecsole Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Many thanks for this tip Norphy. I was trying to deploy to VMWare Workstation and kept getting a failure during partitioning - removing the recovery partition sorted it. Interestingly, no problem deploying to Hyper-V though.
snagrat Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Since installing 2012 R2 SP1 endpoint protection isn't automatically installing on newly imaged machines. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks Did you manage to find the problem and resolve it?
FN-GM Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Yes, i rebooted the Site server and it kicked back into life.
