Working with Rate Limits on ConfigMgr 2012 Distribution Points

ratelimit

Ever wondered how rate limits on Distribution Points in ConfigMgr 2012 work? When I one day accidentally updated all the distribution points at a customer site it was time to learn quickly.

Came across a weird issue at one of my customers recently where RDP connections would randomly (or so it seemed) drop when users were working on remote machines. They are using Configuration Manager 2012 and have client settings setup so that Remote Control is enabled on all clients. After seeing this post by Wes Kroesbergen and this …

I’ve been working with a customer to create a custom hardware inventory class for a specific registry key recently. As many others I used Mark Cochrane’s RegkeytoMof tool. This works brilliantly, in most cases. In my case I found a bug that made ConfigMgr error out when updating the configuration.mof file. The error was (found …

I recently had an issue completely removing Adobe Flash from computers in my environment.

System Center Updates Publisher Certificate Requirements

Categories:

Uncategorized

by

When using a self-signed certificate with SCUP, remember that the certificate needs to be deployed to Trusted Publishers AND Trusted Root Certificate Authorities on the client. The same applies for the SCUP/WSUS server. I seem to forget the latter when doing my deployments… Jason T. Lewis has made a blog post describing how to make …

Allright, I´m starting to find issues with ConfigMgr 2012 during my first installations. For instance, if you decide to install updates to your 4.0 Framework Client Profile you might find that your Configuration Manager 2012 console will crash (stop working).
