@Gardinho did you ever resolve this? I'm have a similar issue.

I have my SCCM 2012 R2 up and running, deploying images nicely, along with my core packages (MS Office, etc) I have an issue with some packages/applications where I have deployed them as required etc, but for some reason they are showing as "Past Due - Being Retired". The Past Due bit I can understand as the installation deadline has past, but the I dont understand Being Retired. Package A - Installs fine on 32bit OS but shows Being Retired on 64bit OS Package B - Installs fine on 64bit OS but shows Being Retired on 32bit OS The packages are all 32bit - when I created the packages I ticked the option to install as 32bit Application on 64bit Computer. Any ideas? Cheers Mark

Got image building nicely and installing updates. I've created a collection based on a Query on an OU and deployed a packages to that collection. Am I right in thinking that the package should deploy to the computers in that collection?

Ahhh.......... I see......... Slightly confused becuase if no longer a supported method, why include the options :confus At least I stop backing my head on my desk

From what I understand looking at the tutorial (and I very well may be wrong) the Operating System Installers are to install a fresh instances of Windows to allow you to create a custom image etc. - The Operating System Images are custom WIM images captured from the Installers (if that makes sense) If I tried adding the extracted Windows ISO as an Operating System Image - It looks for a WIM file. Cheers

Ok, so Ive just setup SCCM and all going well, imported some previously captured images from my MDT box and I can deploy those no problem. I've extracted and copied both 32/64bit Windows 7 to a share on my SCCM box (same share used by the othe images) Ive added them as OS Installers and distributed them to the distribution point and they are showing green. I go to create a new Task and select Build and Capture a Reference OS Image, select a Boot Image, click next. The screen asks me to select an Image Package, so I click on Browse - but only my previously captured WIM images appear - not my OS Installer. Any one any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I've followed the guide on Windows-Noob. Cheers

Have a look at this - Install KB2910552 hotfix for ConfigMgr 2012 R2 client during OSD | System Center ConfigMgr I'm having the same issues and just about to try it.

Long story short - my existing Exchange 2010 server is somewhat on it last lets. - It has issues! Ive installed a Exchange 2013 (Mailbox and CAS) on a new VM and all seems happy My plan is....... move the 2010 mailboxes to the 2013 box reconfigure the Exchange 2013 for OWA access using the existing OWA address Point Smoothwall and DNS to the new Exchange 2013 server Shutdown old Exchange 2010 server Does that seem sensible?

Looking to migrate our existing Exchnage 2010 to Office 365 as my time is taken up with planning a new network design. (and I have no idea what is involved) I have full control over our external DNS settings etc Currently have email journaling in place for all emails and would like to retain that either within Office 365 or a freshly installed Exchange 2013 server. Budget is tight so depending on cost will determine if this can be done by the winning quote. Feel free to PM me with any questions and quotes.

Currently running Joomla version 2.5.20 and is being reported as the latest version (according to the admin interface) Looking at the Joomla website, support for 2.5 ended December 2014 which is why I was saying it is outdated.

It has recently come to my attention that when searching for our school website, google has placed "This site may have been hacked" next to our search result. I've gone through Googles security checks and it reports back as being clear and no malicious code being seen/found. So I'm at a bit of a loss. I've asked Google to re-evaluate our site and I'm waiting to see if anything changes. In the mean time, our webserver is running Centos6 and Joomla 2.5 - so both are out dated and need updating with newer versions. Can anyone recommend any sites which can check for malicious code/sql injections etc. Cheers Mark

The script below lists all mailboxes by size, it doesnt fit what your after but should help. Your will need to change "YOURSERVER" to the name of your exchange servers. $DateStamp = get-date -uformat "%d-%m-%Y" $filename = 'D:\' + $DateStamp + '_MailBox_Sizes.txt' Get-MailboxStatistics -Server "YOURSERVER"| where {$_.ObjectClass –eq “Mailbox”} | Sort-Object TotalItemSize –Descending | ft @{label=”User”;expression={$_.DisplayName}},@{label=”Total Size (MB)”;expression={$_.TotalItemSize.Value.ToMB()}},@{label=”Items”;expression={$_.ItemCount}},@{label=”Storage Limit”;expression={$_.StorageLimitStatus}} -auto >>$filename

Just tried on scrolling on Youtube on Chrome and IE and no real issue other than IE being slightly juddery now and then.

Currently using approx 40xL300 with VSpace on a 2008R2 Server. Usage/Logon times were slow until SP1 was installed and that seemed to cure speed issues. Usage is mainly Office and Internet Usage.

About to start re-jigging my backups and wondered how people using MS DPM backup their VMs. Our VMs are on a SAN within a HyperV Cluster. Im currently backing up the VMs as if they are physical servers, this probably isnt the best way of doing it but I was new to DPM at the time. I know some people may suggest Veeam but as Budgets stand I cannot afford it - but I am using the Free Edition on my testing rig - not sure if the Free edition would be suitable for backing the Cluster.... or would it? So..... open to suggestions as to which method works best for most people.

HP Definitely getting a call on Monday!

Received an email alert from my SAN with the following alerts P2000 G3 iSCSI Warning: DRIVE_DOWN P2000 G3 iSCSI Error: FRU_PROBLEM P2000 G3 iSCSI Warning: ARRAY_DEGRADED P2000 G3 iSCSI Warning: SCRUB_ARRAY_COMPLETE I'm new to using SANs so in need of advice and help! I've just remoted in and checked the SAN. It is reported as degraded, but all the discs are reporting as healthy. I have noticed that one of the discs is showing as LEFTOVR. I have no idea what this means. Apart from contacting HP, what else should I be looking at? Cheers Mark

I had this, turned out I had s space at the end of the licence code. Found the server side of things a hell of a lot easier that the iPad installs! Major pain in the arse!!

Just checked and running SQL2012 Full, with Intouch. Person who does the cover first noticed it, mainly when she tried to save staffing changes, it would mention the failure, she would try resaving where SIMS would then crash but strangely SIMS does save before crashing. Anyone with these messages also running Discover? Wonder if it reporting this to Capita if several people are getting this.

I need to check which version of sql as not really touch the sims since I started 2 and a bit months ago

Very interesting..... this was reported to me couple of weeks ago, couldn't find any reason for it other than putting it down to old switches. Seems to come and go randomly. Not had chance to investigate further yet as not in school this week.

on an SCCM course all week as well as answering emails and the odd remote session....... evening when I'm not in work i'm working
