CM 2007 (

In various places, recently I have been suggesting that you do not use SQL 2008 with SCCM 2007. The reasons that I say this is because a very knowledgeable resource at Microsoft stated that the code for SCCM 2007 was not written to work with SQL 2008...
Another great new feature of R2 is the addition of SQL Reporting Services. This rich new tool will allow you to have greater speed and flexibility with your reports. Not only can you convert your reports that come with the standard version of SCCM SP1...
Now that SCCM R2 is available , we should discuss the features associated with the upgrade. R2 has a few key features that were once available in SMS 2003 as a Feature Pack (such as Client Health Monitoring) and also some new functionality that was not...
Secondary sites are used for many reasons and can only report to a primary server in the hierarchy. A secondary site can be used at smaller sites that don't require the power of a primary or have a smaller number of systems to manage. Also, one of...
It's been a long day in several respects. We found out at 10:00 AM that our server bandwidth was too small for the amount of traffic we had with app the people watching the Level 5 Guides. First we moved the cable to a 100MB switch and that was ok...
Having a Task Sequence that does all your work for you is a tough job at times and depending on how many hardware platforms you have will determine how long it takes to make and test your Task Sequence. In this video I demonstrate how to advertise an...
After speaking to the other Level 5 Guide owners, they have all agreed to open their guides during the times I specified in my post yesterday . Our "Open House" day is to let you experience some of the content that we have available. I don't...
We have had a tremendous success rate for our new Level 5 section since it opened in late April. The guide subscriptions are moving at a very good pace, but we want everyone to have a chance to experience the "higher level" of videos training...
Tonight I added 3 new videos to the SCCM Level 5 Guide on Software Updates. I have one more to complete and that should be uploaded in the next few days. The videos show how simple and complex deploying updates can be in SCCM. There is a lot of information...
To start off this post which I have a lot to say, I will use the 2 words "intelligence" and "negligence" in the same sentence. You don't often hear that, but I think it sums up several experiences I have seen so far with SCCM prerequisite...
We want to get some fresh ideas from bloggers on The Blogcast Repository . I would like to make a challenge that we have 50 new bloggers by the end of July . Sharing your experience is a great vent and a place to call home where you can interact with...
As many of you already know, we added the Level 5 section of the website 2 months ago. As of today, we have 75 custom videos available for you to learn from. Each topic is unique and has content unlike many you will find on the Internet and much better...
While it's a simple process to install the console, you DO know that for every version of SMS / SCCM that provides a SP, you need to update not only the client's. but the console too. This has always been a pain point for me, but I wanted to share...
Although we may read up on service packs and other releases, we may not always see everything and Microsoft may not always tell you all the things they improved on. I found this gem just a few minutes ago and thought it was interesting. When you are not...
While Microsoft has a list of error codes that are associated with SCCM, the code 0x80040104 in your log file means that " Could not find reference program policy", " Make sure the reference program policy is downloaded locally. Check policy...

Since going live on the upgraded website a few weeks ago, we now have email notification working again as of today. When you comment in the forums and blogs, you will now receive emails and know when people reply to your posts. I'm very sorry for...
As most of you know, we have a new section of the site called Level 5 on the website. The Level 5 section is a formal "how to" guide on various topics. Not all of our guides are ready to be published, but David Stein has done an excellent job...
Maybe this should be a forum post, but I ran into this today and wanted to share my experience. I built a central primary and a child primary. Under Client Push, the default was always SMSSITECODE=AUTO. Today, I noticed that without my changes, the SMSSITECODE...
The DNS change went into effect a day late, but we had some bugs to work out. We will continue to see some issues and I hope you email me if a video looks bad or sounds wrong. We have a lot of new features add ed to the site and if you are reading this...
