Hi,

The Configuration Manager documentation library (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680651.aspx) has been updated on the Web and the latest content on the Web has Updated: December 1, 2009 at the top of the topic.

What's New in the Configuration Manager Documentation Library for December 2009

The following information lists the topics that contain significant changes since the November 2009 update.

Planning Configuration Manager Boundaries

- Updated to clarify that supernets are not supported as boundary configurations when they are defined as an IP Subnet or an Active Directory site.

Certificate Requirements for Native Mode

- Updated for the information regarding the client certificate, which is not used for authentication to the software update point. Unlike the other native mode site systems, the software update point doesn't use mutual authentication and uses server authentication only.  Other topics have been updated to clarify this exception, including Benefits of Using Native Mode.

About Network Access Protection Remediation

- Updated with the information that a server locator point can act as a Network Access Protection remediation server when it is used by clients for site information or for locating the management point.  This clarification is also added to Determine Which Site Systems Are Boundary Servers for IPsec Network Access Protection and Configuring Remediation Server Groups for Configuration Manager Network Access Protection.

About Network Access Protection in Configuration Manager Hierarchies

- Updated with the important clarification that you cannot create NAP policies on a site that is inheriting software updates from a parent site. When you configure software updates synchronization with Microsoft, make sure that you configure this synchronization on the site from which you want to create Configuration Manager NAP policies.

About Configuration Manager Client Installation Properties Published to Active Directory Domain Services

- Updated to clarify that when CCMSetup reads client installation properties that are published to Active Directory Domain Services, the default management point is always returned as the location from which clients download installation files.  This means that if clients are within the boundaries of a secondary site that contains a proxy management point, they will still download the client source files from the primary site.

 Hi,

Windows Server 2008 Administrator's Pocket Consultant, Second Edition [Updated for R2], by William R. Stanek It’s all about William Stanek this week. Here’s an excerpt from William’s Introduction to this book: Introduction Welcome to Windows Server 2008 Administrator’s Pocket Consultant, Second Edition. Over the years, I’ve written about many different server technologies and products, but the one product I like writing about the most is Windows Server. From top to bottom, Windows Server 2008 Release 2 (R2) is substantially different from earlier releases of Windows Server. For starters, many of the core components of Windows Server 2008 R2 are built off the same code base as Windows 7 rather than Windows Vista. This means that you can apply much of what you know about Windows 7 to Windows Server 2008 R2. That’s good news, but you still need to learn how Windows Server 2008 R2 is different from previous releases of Windows Server, and while some of these differences are small, others are very important. Because I’ve written many top-selling Windows Server books, I was able to bring a unique perspective to this book—the kind of perspective you gain only after working with technologies for many years. Long before there was a product called Windows Server 2008 Release 2, I was working with the beta product. From these early beginnings, the final version of Windows Server 2008 R2 evolved until it became the finished product that is available today. As you’ve probably noticed, a great deal of information about Windows Server 2008 R2 is available on the Web and in other printed books. You can find tutorials, reference sites, discussion groups, and more to make using Windows Server 2008 R2 easier. However, the advantage of reading this book is that much of the information you need to learn about Windows Server 2008 R2 is organized in one place and presented in a straightforward and orderly fashion. This book has everything you need to customize Windows Server 2008 R2 installations, master Windows Server 2008 R2 configurations, and maintain Windows Server 2008 R2 servers. In this book, I teach you how features work, why they work the way they do, and how to customize them to meet your needs. I also offer specific examples of how certain features can meet your needs, and how you can use other features to troubleshoot and resolve issues you might have. In addition, this book provides tips, best practices, and examples of how to optimize Windows Server 2008 R2. This book won’t just teach you how to configure Windows Server 2008 R2, it will teach you how to squeeze every last bit of power out of it and make the most from the features and options it includes. Unlike many other books about administering Windows Server 2008 R2, this book doesn’t focus on a specific user level. This isn’t a lightweight beginner book. Regardless of whether you are a beginning administrator or a seasoned professional, many of the concepts in this book will be valuable to you, and you can apply them to your Windows Server 2008 R2 installations. Who Is This Book For? Windows Server 2008 Administrator’s Pocket Consultant, Second Edition covers the Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Web, Datacenter, and Itanium-based editions of Windows Server 2008 R2. The book is designed for the following readers: • Current Windows system administrators • Accomplished users who have some administrator responsibilities • Administrators upgrading to Windows Server 2008 R2 from previous versions • Administrators transferring from other platforms To pack in as much information as possible, I had to assume that you have basic networking skills and a basic understanding of Windows Server. With this in mind, I don’t devote entire chapters to explaining Windows Server architecture, Windows Server startup and shutdown, or why you want to use Windows Server. I do, however, cover Windows server configuration, Group Policy, security, auditing, data backup, system recovery, and much more. I also assume that you are fairly familiar with Windows commands and procedures as well as the Windows user interface. If you need help learning Windows basics, you should read other resources (many of which are available from Microsoft Press). Note: This book has been completely updated for Windows Server 2008 R2. If you are using Windows Server 2008 RTM, features and procedures will vary slightly.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Administrator's Pocket Consultant, by William R. Stanek Again, please enjoy this excerpt from the Introduction of William’s book: Introduction Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Administrator’s Pocket Consultant is designed to be a concise and compulsively usable resource for Exchange Server 2010 administrators. This is the readable resource guide that you’ll want on your desk at all times. The book covers everything you need to perform the core administrative tasks for Exchange Server 2010, whether your servers are running on Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2. Because the focus of this book is on giving you maximum value in a pocket-size guide, you don’t have to wade through hundreds of pages of extraneous information to find what you’re looking for. Instead, you’ll find exactly what you need to get the job done. In short, this book is designed to be the one resource you turn to whenever you have questions regarding Exchange Server 2010 administration. To this end, the book zeroes in on daily administrative procedures, frequently performed tasks, documented examples, and options that are representative although not necessarily inclusive. One of the goals is to keep the content so concise that the book remains compact and easy to navigate while at the same time ensuring that the book is packed with as much information as possible—making it a valuable resource. Thus, instead of a hefty 1,000-page tome or a lightweight 100-page quick reference, you get a valuable resource guide that can help you quickly and easily perform common tasks, solve problems, and implement advanced Exchange Server 2010 technologies such as EdgeSync subscriptions, database availability groups, Outlook Anywhere, SMTP connectors, and Active Directory site links. Who Is This Book For? Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Administrator’s Pocket Consultant covers the Standard and Enterprise editions of Exchange Server 2010. The book is designed for the following readers: • Current Exchange Server 2010 administrators • Current Windows administrators who want to learn Exchange Server 2010 • Administrators upgrading to Exchange Server 2010 from Exchange 2007 • Administrators upgrading to Exchange Server 2010 from Exchange 2003 • Administrators transferring from other messaging servers • Managers and supervisors who have been delegated authority to manage mailboxes or other aspects of Exchange Server 2010 To pack in as much information as possible, I had to assume that you have basic networking skills and a basic understanding of e-mail and messaging servers. With this in mind, I don’t devote entire chapters to explaining why e-mail systems are needed or how they work. I don’t devote entire chapters to installing Exchange Server 2010 either. I do, however, provide complete details on the components of redundant and highly available messaging environment. You will also find complete details on all the essential Exchange administration tasks. I also assume that you are fairly familiar with Windows Server. If you need help learning Windows Server, I highly recommend that you buy Windows Server 2008 Administrator’s Pocket Consultant or Windows Server 2008 Inside Out.

Hi,

If you have this configuration or this problem ...

The file was locked by a service called dsmcsvc.exe which was from IBM Tivoli backup software (it was named TSM Scheduler in Services). It is possible other software could have a lock on the file as well, this is just one example.

Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 Content

The following topics in the Documentation Library contain new Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 content:

• What's New in Configuration Manager 2007 SP2
• Out of Band Management in Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 and Later

The following section describes what's new in the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Documentation Library since April 2009. The topics listed in the table are new or contain significant technical changes to Configuration Manager 2007. Topics that contain minor changes to Configuration Manager 2007 are not listed.

Planning and Deploying the Server Infrastructure for Configuration Manager 2007

Certificate Requirements for Native Mode: Updated to reflect that SHA-1 is the only supported hash algorithm for native mode certificates.

Overview of Internet-Based Client Management: Updated to include task sequences as one of the features that are not supported when clients are managed on the Internet.

Out of Band Management and Double-Byte Character Sets: New topic that lists the considerations and limitations for using double-byte character sets and extended ASCII characters when you use the out of band management feature in Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 and later.

Planning and Deploying Clients for Configuration Manager 2007

How to Create a Fallback Status Point in Configuration Manager: Updated with clarifications such as the security best practices for production networks, a reference to installing IIS for Windows Server 2008, a list of log files to check for successful installation, and how to install the fallback status on a new server.

How to Enable or Disable Certificate Revocation Checking (CRL) on Clients: Updated to clarify that the client functions that run as a result of task sequence actions always check the certificate revocation list (CRL) in a native mode site, even after following the procedures to disable CRL checking on clients. This limitation does not apply to Configuration Manager 2007 SP2.

Configuration Manager 2007 Features

Prerequisites for Out of Band Management: Updated to clarify changes that are relevant to Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 and later, including the following:

• Links to the supported configurations documentation for AMT version information.
• A recommendation to disable AMT on computers that cannot be supported by Configuration Manager, such as workgroup computers and computers with a disjointed namespace.
• Information about how the security right of Modify Collection Setting is required to configure in-band provisioning, to remove provisioning information, and to update AMT management controllers.

How to Provision Computers for AMT: Updated with a revised query for the collection that is used for in-band provisioning so that membership contains computers with an AMT status of Detected or Not Provisioned if they are also approved and not blocked.

AMT Provisioning Issues for Out of Band Management: Updated with a reference to the Intel vPro Expert Center: Microsoft vPro Manageability Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=132001), which should be checked for issues that are specific to AMT. (Such issues include behavior differences between firmware versions, how to install and configure the Intel translator, and how to configure AMT). Additionally, new troubleshooting information in this topic includes the following scenarios:

• Configuration Manager Fails to Provision Computers with a Disjointed Namespace
• Computers Fail to Provision Out of Band Because the Computer Has Been Discovered by Configuration Manager

Out of Band Management Console Issues: Updated with new troubleshooting information that includes the following scenarios:

• The Out of Band Management Console Running on Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP1 Fails to Connect to AMT-Based Computers
• The Out of Band Management Console Fails to Connect to AMT-Based Computers That Were Successfully Provisioned Out of Band and Do Not Have an Operating System Installed
• IDE Redirection Fails When the Out of Band Management Console Runs as a Low-Rights User
• Unexpected Behavior with Blocked Configuration Manager Clients
• Slow Responses to AMT-Based Computers Using IPv6

Troubleshooting General Operating System Deployment Issues: Updated with the new entry "Security Registry Keys for Native Mode Remain in Captured Images”, which includes the prescribed additional steps to take if you capture an image from a native mode client.

Troubleshooting Task Sequence Initiated Operating System Deployment Issues: Updated with the new entry "Task Sequence Always Performs Certificate Revocation Checking in Native Mode Site", which explains how to identify a known issue with task sequences always checking the certificate revocation list (CRL) in a native mode site, even after following the procedures to disable CRL checking on clients.

Prerequisites for SQL Reporting Services: Updated with information about creating SQL Reporting Services report models by using SQL Server 2008.

Security and Privacy for Configuration Manager 2007

Out of Band Management Security Best Practices and Privacy Information

Updated for revisions that are applicable to Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 and later, including the following security best practices:

• Request customized firmware before purchasing AMT-based computers.
• Manually revoke certificates and delete Active Directory accounts for AMT-based computers that are blocked by a Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 site.
• Use a dedicated certificate template for provisioning AMT-based computers.
• Use a dedicated organizational unit (OU) to publish AMT-based computers.
• Use Group Policy to restrict user rights for the AMT Accounts.
• Use a dedicated collection for in-band provisioning.
• Retrieve and store image files securely when booting from alternative media to use the IDE redirection function.
• Minimize the number of AMT Provisioning and Discovery Accounts.

Maintaining Configuration Manager 2007

How to Back Up a Secondary Site: Updated to remove the procedure to back up a secondary site because you cannot restore this backup by using the Site Repair Wizard. Instead, you must reinstall the secondary site. This information was also added to About the Site Repair Wizard.
