Endpoint Management (SCCM / Intune)
ConfigMgr, Intune, WSUS, OS deployment, client health and patching.
guys pls help picture a new hardware batch arriving, the boss asking when theyll be ready, and every machine doing this when you try to network boot:
Picture finally scheduling the maintenance window for the ConfigMgr site update, getting change approval, and then the prerequisite check comes back like this: two failures and two warnings... the window is tonight. i dont want to start installing random…
To add some context: picture building a nice dashboard on top of hardware inventory data, only to realise half of it is months old:
imagine patch week, opening All Software Updates in teh console, and noticing the newest updates are from last month. then you open wsyncmgr.log:
long time lurker first post lol imagine finishing an in place OS upgarde on the primary site sevrer over the weekend, feeling proud, and then on Monday morning opening teh console to this: what am i doing wrong??
hmmmm ok inherited a ConfigMgr single pirmary site :) The previous admin warned me that WSUS is 'fragile'. Now the sync fails every night: ive restarted the server... it worked once, then failed again... id love to understand whats going on rather than…
PXE was working last week at the imaging bench. then teh network team swapped a switch, and now Surface devices show this: They say teh network is fine... i say it isnt. Whos right?? Ive already redistributed teh boot images and restarted teh WDS service on…
not gonna lie this is driving me nuts PXE was working last week at teh new building. then teh network team swapped a switch, and now Surface devices show this: They say the network is fine. i say it isnt. Whos right? ive already redistributed the boot images…
long time lurker first post lol rolling out 40 laptops. the client install via the task sequence fails over and over: the error is 0x80004005 😂 our consultant set this up years ago and left... i know just enough ConfigMgr to be dagnerous... where should i…
ugh. question for endpoint people: we're halfway through moving workloads with a hybrid workforce. Co management works, but we're running two systems. Is that a stable long term state, or should we commit to one? Some people on the team are very attached to…
ok weird one rolling out 40 laptops... the client install via client push fails over and over: the error is exit code 1603 😭 our consultant set this up years ago and left. I know just enough ConfigMgr to be dangerous. where should I start? We have a single…
we manage a mostly remote team and are planning a migration. leadership asks if we can rteire ConfigMgr and go Intune only. I like the idea of less infrastructure, but we rely on things like task sequences and detailed reporting. has anyone fully made the…
so annoyed rn we need to image virtual machines at the main office. They start a network boot and then: the distribution point has PXE enabled and the boot images are distributed. other locations work fine... i have a stack of boxes and a deadline... where…
We deploy the ConfigMgr client with teh task sequence, and teh new kiosk PCs just won't get it. The console shows: ccmsetup.log ends with 0x800706ba, other machines in teh same OU installed fine.. 🤦 ive been staring at logs for two hours and Im going in…
inherited a ConfigMgr environment behind a proxy, the previous admin warned me that WSUS is 'fragile', now the the console shows teh last sync as falied: Ive restarted teh server. It worked once, then failed again. Id love to understand whats going on rather…
im literally losing my mind here curious how others decided which workloads to move first. several branch offices, planning a migration. Compliance and Windows Update policies look easy 🔥 Apps and OS deployment look scary. Im especially nervous about app…
not gonna lie this is driving me nuts PXE was working last week at a remote warehouse. then teh network team swapped a switch, and now new Dell laptops show this: They say the network is fine. i say it isnt. Whos right?? ive already redistributed the boot…
long time lurker first post lol question for endpoint people: were planning a migration with a few hundred laptops. co management works, but were running two systems. is that a stable long term state, or should we commit to one? some ppl on teh team are very…
ok so question for endpoint ppl: were halfway through moving workloads with a few hundred laptops. Co management works, but were running two systems. Is that a stable long term state, or should we commit to one?? Some people on the team are very attached to…
long time lurker first post lol our site with a remote SUP sync times out halfway. Heres what i see: No new updates in teh console, deployments look stale, and security is asking why the patch reports are flat. Is it teh network, WSUS itself, or ConfigMgr?…
hmmmm ok inherited a ConfigMgr single primary site :) the previous admin warned me that WSUS is fragile... now the no new updates since last month: Ive restarted teh server. It worked once, then failed again. Id love to understand whats going on rather than…
guys pls help some new Dell laptops at the imaging bench PXE boot, some don't. The failing ones end like this: same VLAN, same DP. the only difference i can see is firmware settings, but i dont know which ones matter. the working and failing machines are teh…
we need to image new Dell laptops at a branch site. they start a network boot and then: The distribution point has PXE enabled and the boot imgaes are distributed. Other locations work fine 🙏 I have a stack of boxes and a deadline 🙏 Where do I look? The…
in our site with a remote SUP, teh software update point sync has been stuck for days: The console just says the sync failed. I need teh latest updates for this month's deployment and I'm running out of time 🤦 Which logs actually matter here?? WSUS runs on…
ok so odd one. software update based installation reports success on the site server, but the devices never show a client: on one machine i found ccmsetup.log ending with 0x87d00227. is there a checklist Im missing? im not even sure whether teh push really…
