You mention the 1 day collection scan - why not just do AD discovery?
Anyone setup SCCM 2007 SP2?
- Thread starter m4cc45
- Start date
Yup they do
Obviously never had to setup and use old sms 2.0 stuff then
The product has gotten better with each version.
I really can't understand why you've had so many problems, I've never had an issue with any of my installations with all this kind of thing, it's always just worked.
Having worked with SMS then SCCM for the last 7 years or so, with a brief stint as an SMS+SCCM contractor, I've seen my fair share of naff installations!

In large deployments it would be better to put your DP on a seperate box to your MP anyway

Have you ever deployed SCCM 2007 on Windows 2008? I had a lot of issues actually getting the remote admin consoles to connect (had to edit DCOM for remote execution).
I can't import the AD because we have an existing server out there which I can't replace until this is properly tested. It's a pain (and probably hindering the deployment) but that's life.
The permissions seem all over the place and doesn't seem to like groups (DCOM certainly doesn't). There's groups on the server, groups on SCCM and then the DCOM group.

P.S. Never had to install SMS2 but certainly helped with the deploymetn - client deployment was a nightmare!
In the console we added groups (i.e. Domain\ServerTeam) if we copy the Admin role (which is created by default) they can't access it. If I give the individual, who is a member of the group, the rights he's fine yet the groups cant access it (and yes they are in the local SMS Admin groups).
Same with the DCOM issue.
It's only been up a day - need to look into it properly tomorrow (and yes I know it's Saturday - bah!)

Finally got it all running (only manually deployed to one client but that's working well).
It really does not like x64 edition operating systems. Found another problem with reporting which was only fixed when converting the IIS app pools back to 32 bit mode.
Anyway I'm a lot happier than I was last week and I have learnt a lot about how ever it is! But at least it's working now!

We switched from Altiris to SCCM 2007 R2. I was installing it mostly blind, so it was my own fault, but it was a real pain to get working. The setup didn't seem to check for pre-reqs like SQL or Exchange installers do so it installed happily and nothing worked. Spent the next months or so going back to it resolving each issue as I went.
That said now it's all in, I've had no major problems with it. Don't like the update deployment compared to WSUS though, and one of our old servers is stuck installing the management point over and over again. The next version looks interesting and appears to resolve my gripes!

Well... now it's been in a few days and everythings green I'm happy to say it seems to be working. I have a minor problem whereby the deployment from the client management is very, very slow (believe this to be a BITS problem as BITS downloads it and then takes 2 hours to download and a couple of minutes to install - I've checked my settings in the console and they're all on 9999 Kbps transfer rate so it's something I need to look into).
It now seems rather stable. I still believe it's the worst way to install a program ever (you install it then fix it).
