System Center 2012 Configuration Manager has many great built-in requirement rules that will help you to get the right deployment type installed for the current environment. For most of my applications the built-in rules can get the job done, but some times we need to create our own Global Conditions, to fit the requirement rules for an application/Deployment Type. One example could be a 3rd. party add-on for Microsoft Office, where you need to install a Deployment Type that matches the architecture of Microsoft Office. All clients with a 32-bit OS will always have the 32-bit version of Office installed,…

Last week I was presenting at Microsoft Campus Days in Copenhagen. During one of my presentations on Application Management using Configuration Manager 2012, I got a question on dependencies, and how to see what applications (Deployment Types) depends on a specific application, before you retire or delete an the application. On the References tab for the application, you can see which Applications that depend on this application. I don’t remeber who asked the question but here is the answer. Enjoy.

Really great post by Minfang Lv over at the System Center Configuration Manager Team Blog. Read the full post here. This post describes how and when you might see duplicate records when you use unknown computer support with Active Directory Delta-Discovery in Configuration Manager 2007 R3, what problems you might see, and some suggested workarounds. Unknown computer support is an operating system deployment feature that was introduced in Configuration Manager 2007 R2.

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.

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.
