SCCM 2012 R2: How-to change the default Report Banner

By Ronni Pedersen on August 17, 2014 Configuration Manager, Enterprise Mobility

When you first install the Reporting Services Point in System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager (SCCM), it comes with 468 built in reports, and all these great reports uses the default System Center banner. The default banner is a really nice banner, but I often get the question from some of my customers “How to we replace the default SCCM report banner with our company branded banner?”. So I decided to make this blog post that explains how this can be done. Actually, it’s a really simple task, but it can’t be done directly from the UI. First we need…

SCCM 2012 R2: Where is the SMSTS.log located?

By Ronni Pedersen on August 12, 2014 Configuration Manager, Enterprise Mobility, Windows Deployment

Allmost every time I get a call from a customer, or want to answer a question in the TechNet Forums about OS Deployment, I always start by asking for logfiles. There are MANY log files when it comes to ConfigMgr 2012 R2, and most of them are normally located in the same folder every time you need them. But when you are troubleshooting OS Deployment using, one of the most common log files you almost always want to check, is the SMSTS.log.

SCCM: Failed to Get Client Identity (80004005)

By Ronni Pedersen on August 12, 2014 Configuration Manager, Enterprise Mobility, Windows Deployment

This morning, one of my customers called me and told me that they bought some new Lenovo laptops (Lenovo ThinkPad S540), but they was unable start OS Deployment using SCCM/PXE. Normally when I see this behaivor, it’s caused by a missing driver in the boot image, so I told them to verify that the driver was loaded correct. Here is a guide to verify the network driver in a SCCM Boot Image: https://www.ronnipedersen.com/2009/04/importing-network-drivers-into-the-windows-pe-boot-image/ But the driver was loaded correct, so I requested the SMSTS.log and found another common issue. The SMSTS.log file can be found here: https://www.ronnipedersen.com/2014/08/sccm-2012-r2-smsts-log-located/ In the SMSTS.log…

SCCM 2012 R2: No Source Pull Distribution Point available

By Ronni Pedersen on July 25, 2014 Configuration Manager, Enterprise Mobility, Enterprise Security

A few weeks ago I was working with a customer on a global SCCM Project where the use of Pull Distribution Points would be a huge benefit to reduce WAN traffic between some of the major sites. So we ordered a few new (virtual) servers and installed the Distribution Point Role. Everything looked ok, so we moved on and enabled the Pull Distribution Point option, but we couldn’t specify any source for the Pull Distribution Point. I went back to my lab, where I tried to reproduce this behaivor, but in my lab everything worked just fine. But my lab…
