Today I was installing FEP 2010 at a customer. At the prerequisites verification page I got an error on a pending restart. Well… That’s not unlikely so I restarted the server, but I got the same result. To work around this problem you have to modify the registry. Open PendingFileRenameOperations key from “HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession Manager”. Delete (or copy its content to notepad) and save the key. Restart FEP 2010 Setup (or re-run the prerequisite checker) and then everything should be just fine. At least it for me J Thank to Kenny Buntinx, for helping me out on this issue.

From time to time I spend time on troubleshooting Active Directory and SYSVOL replication at my customers. The built in replication schedule are great, but some time it’s nice to force replication on all Domain Controllers to minimize the waiting time… This script will force an instant replication on all domain controllers.

Earlier this year Microsoft released an update to USMT 4.0, adding support for Office 2010 and a few other minor updates: The XML rules included in the default Migapp.xml file are updated to include new rules that support migrating Office 2010 application settings. Changes that resolve an issue that creates many temporary files, that does not correctly remove the temporary files in a hard-link migration, and that causes poor LoadState performance. An issue that prevents migration in certain time zones is corrected. You can download the update from Here.
When running certain applications and commands through the “Run Command Line” task sequence in System Center Configuration Manager 2007 for a 64-bit Operating System you might find that the task will fail. This is true for applications that don’t fully support 64-bit mode. Some commands are not available by default when running in 32-bit mode, for example “manage-bde.exe” or “winsat.exe. To work around this issue, simply disable the “64-bit file system redirection” in the task sequence when running such applications or commands.

Mikael Nyström (aka The Deployment Bunny), has a new blog post on some of the undocumented Properties in MDT 2010 Update 1. Read the full blog post here. Once again, at 33000 feet over the Atlantic Ocean on my way back from TechEd NA in Atlanta I started to think about all the different properties in MDT 2010 Update 1 that I use which are not really documented, trust me there are “some”. Some of them is, well, not really so useful, but some of them I really use and so should you. So this post is solely made for…
