Planning an upgrade to ConfigManager 2007 SP2? It can mess up your Management Point

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 05:00:00 GMT

So, after I heard the great news that Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 would release at the same time that Windows 7 went retail I was of course very excited! I promised myself that I would do the upgrade when I got home, but first I had to finish my work day. I received a phone call from a customer who had also been excited about the SP2 upgrade, and of course the possibility to start deploying Windows 7. Unfortunately this customer had already experienced trouble with the upgrade process for ConfigMgr 2007 SP2.

Caso ainda não conseguiu testar a nova versão do SCCM, o SP2, esta é a hora, veja abaixo os links para download, tanto da versão completa (com 180 dias de teste) quanto da versão apenas para atualização de um ambiente com o SCCM 2007 SP1.

· ConfigMgr07SP2Eval_RTM_ENU.exe (1.3 GB) Completa (teste de 180 dias)

· ConfigMgr07SP2Upgrade_RTM_ENU.exe (1.3 GB) Atualização para SCCM SP1

Nota do Editor

A versão para instalação completa tem cerca de 1.3 GB no tamanho do arquivo, e a versão apenas para a atualização do SCCM SP1 para SP2 tem o mesmo tamanho, interessante isso, não é mesmo? J

Obrigado pela leitura e até a próxima publicação,

SCCM R2 e SP2 – Atualizar o SCCM Client ou não?

CleberMarques — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 05:00:00 GMT

Durante estes dias tenho participado de uma discussão bem saudável (J) em que o assunto era: No SCCM R2 devemos atualizar o SCCM client ou não? A resposta rápida é NÃO, no SCCM 2007 R2 não existe atualização para o cliente do SCCM. Para entendermos melhor este assunto leiam as comparações e explicações abaixo:

Quando o SCCM 2007 foi lançado (versão RTM), a instalação ocorria de forma normal nos computadores e servidores, incluindo os componentes do SCCM assim como o cliente. Quando o SCCM SP1 foi lançado tínhamos um pacote pré-definido na console para distribuir uma atualização para o cliente. Logo do SCCM RTM para SP1 deveríamos atualizar: Sites primários e secundários, consoles e clientes instalados na versão RTM.

Já trabalhando com o SCCM SP1 foi lançada a versão R2, e para atualizarmos deveríamos seguir um passo a passo, com os componentes corretos a serem atualizados. Os componentes atualizados aqui eram apenas os Sites primários, secundários e console.

Atualizando de SP1 para R2 (Original em inglês)

After installing the Configuration Manager 2007 R2 feature update release on the primary site server, Configuration Manager 2007 R2 Setup should be run on secondary site server computers and on any associated Configuration Manager consoles to allow Configuration Manager 2007 R2 features to be displayed.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc161948.aspx

E agora com o lançamento do SCCM SP2 nós devemos seguir mais um procedimento de atualização, esteja o ambiente em SCCM SP1 ou SCCM R2. Os componentes que devem ser atualizados são: Todos os sites, desde o central até os secundários, a console e os clientes.

Atualizando de SP1 or R2 para SP2 (Original em inglês)

After upgrading the central site, upgrade the rest of the hierarchy from the top down. After the primary sites are upgraded, begin upgrading their associated secondary sites, administrator consoles, and clients.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee344152.aspx

Sendo assim, do SCCM RTM para SP1 existe atualização para o SCCM Client, do SCCM SP1 para R2 não existe atualização para o cliente e de qualquer versão para SCCM SP2 existe uma nova atualização para o cliente (com muitas melhorias que pretendo comentar em breve).

Obrigado pela leitura e até a próxima publicação,

Abraços.

This is the first in a series of setting up your environment to deploy Operating Systems. From Windows XP to Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008, it’s all possible with the Operating System Deployment feature in SCCM.

In this series we will be looking at how to setup Operating System Deployment (OSD) in SCCM 2007. We will go from the tool required in this post to the final one where we will have a task sequence to deploy our Operating System. However before we get stuck in lets talk about what is required.

Service Pack 2 for Configuration Manager 2007 delivers new platform support for Windows 7 client, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008 SP2. In addition, Service Pack 2 delivers continued innovation with Intel vPro technology, support for Branch Cache enabled environments, and continued development for 64 bit architectures.
Feature Summary

New Operating System Support

Windows 7

Windows Vista Sp2

Windows Server 2008 R2

Windows Server 2008 SP2

In addition to providing feature parity with SP1 and AMT firmware versions 3.2.1, 4.0 and 5.0, the following new features are supported:

Wireless management with up to 8 wireless profiles

End point access control: 802.1x support

Audit logging

Support for different power states

Power control options at the collection level

With Service Pack 2, the requirement to have the certificate has been removed, so any customer can configure their Asset Intelligence capabilities to connect online and update their catalog. Software Assurance is not required for this functionality.

64-bit Architecture Development
Service Pack 2 will also continue to deliver new support for x64 architectures, including the following:

X64 support for Operations Manager 2007 Client Agent

All References Add-in helps find all management pack elements that reference the specific element chosen. For example, the ability to right click a class and find all rules, monitors, overrides, as well as anything else that targets that class is provided. This tool works on most management pack elements.

Workflow Analyzer

The Workflow Analyzer provides the ability to statically analyze all types of workflows. It also allows users to trace workflows running on any Health Service.

Workflow Simulator

The Workflow Simulator provides the ability to test certain types of workflows such as discoveries, rules, and monitors without a Management Server and Management Group. Key functionality includes the ability to test workflows as well as view and validate output prior to signing and importing the MP into a Management Group for additional testing.

Management Packs

Three management packs which are frequently used as dependencies are provided as part of the tools installation. These MPs are necessary to allow the Authoring Console to open most MPs available online in the System Center Operations Manager MP Catalog. The provided MPs are:

Microsoft.SystemCenter.DataWarehouse.Report.Library

Microsoft.SystemCenter.InstanceGroup.Library

Microsoft.SystemCenter.ServiceDesigner.Library
