Well, actually I would like to have the catalog, policies, etc. but don't see that as an option. If there is a way to export a policy and import it onto another server that would be great. Being as though I have 18 Master servers in my backup infrastructure, it would be nice to create one policy...

Hi guys, I was notified this morning that one of my master servers in a remote office had a major hardware failure and was being moved to a new server. The old server named NT2 was running 5.1. An attempt was made to upgrade the server to 6.0 around the same time of the hardware failure. The new...

Thank you, I wiil go read through the site now!

I am having trouble figuring out how to get ITMU working. I have downloaded the scan tools etc., updated SMS to SP3 without issue, etc. From what I can tell, it’s installed, the packages were created, collections (Microsoft Update Tool and Microsoft Update Tool (pre-production) Sync, IA64, and...

I should have noted that these are vbs scripts. :D

Here is a script I use when pushing certain apps when the advertisement is dependant on collection membership. Note that the hardware inventory actually does pertain to installed apps. 'force hardware inventory for SMS client On Error Resume Next Set cpApplet =...

I have confirmed that the DPs are not overlapping. I am just curious, do I have to have the remote files servers that I have configured as Remote DPs also configured as MPs? I can create a package and the package is copied to the remote DP without issue. However, if I create a package and...

I'm not sure, where would I check? If I have the site properties open under site boundaries I have all the sites listed, remote and the primary sites. Under Roaming Boundaries all the sites are listed as well. I had them all set to "remote roaming boundary" and changed them to local roaming...

I have read the previous post: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1144499&page=2 (among others) In the locationServices.log the clients are coming across the wan to the Site Server instead of using the local distribution point configured on a file server in that location. I have...

Have you added the account to the SMS Reporting group?

My only problem is I have to uninstall 2 apps reboot and install 2 apps. Can I chain all these together? So I would have a package for App1 and a package for app 2 that would need to run back to back after the uninstall script ran and rebooted the machine.

I am new to SMS and software packaging and have an upgrade to do with an app (Documentum) that is dependant on Adobe Acrobat 4. I need to uninstall the application and uninstall Adobe reboot then install Adobe 6 and the new client and reboot again. I have made an uninstall script for both Adobe...

I understand your point of view. And perhaps my situation is different than most in that I would like to provide certain support staff the ability to leverage the power of SMS 2003 without having a full understanding or privileges of an SMS Administrator. In my situation I am using this to...
