[mssms] Easy way to add/remove all packages from DPs?

[ODONNELL Aaron M]

We are in the process of replacing some servers that host our distribution 
points. The new hardware is in place, right next to the old servers which will 
still be active until they're ready to be decommissioned. Is there a powershell 
(or some other automated way) to remove all packages from a distribution point? 
I'm hoping to save a million or so clicks and not be forced into going into 
every single application/package properties and removing them from the old DP 
and then adding it to the new ones.


Thanks,

For the preference, no, I mean subnet. Just as is depicted in that older 
flowchart. The client will order all DPs in all of its boundary groups by 
certain things and the first is subnet.

We weren’t 100% sure on removing the DP from the secondary site server. I 
thought it couldn’t be done in a supported way and he thought it could be. I’m 
not sure which is the correct answer here. I now an MP can’t be removed. Never 
tried a DP though.

Thanks for the info Jason,

could you clarify these though, just so im sure?

  *   Since DPs in the same subnet are preferred, the remote DP could be placed 
in the same subnet as the clients at that same remote location. – You mean 
boundary Group here I hope? We have 1000s of subnets across multiple forests. 
The remote dp’s are in the same boundary group – but that has a few 100 ip 
range boundaries. 2007 we used to use AD sites but Microsoft told us not to mix 
and to go with IP Ranges now.

Remove the DP from the secondary site server and use an additional site system 
for the DP role at the same location as the secondary site server. – So  Dev 
confirmed this config would be supported? “You cannot remove the DP or MP role 
from a secondary site server (at least not in a supported way).”

So I just talked to one of the devs and he confirmed what I’ve said. Today, 
there is no way to separate the DP from the MP when specifying the site system 
associated with a boundary group. Thus, this is a shortcoming in the current 
design. You have two potential ways to address this scenario today:


  *   Since DPs in the same subnet are preferred, the remote DP could be placed 
in the same subnet as the clients at that same remote location.
  *   Remove the DP from the secondary site server and use an additional site 
system for the DP role at the same location as the secondary site server.



We talked through the scenario though and the dev understood it and why they 
can’t do anything else today. *Today* of course is a keyword here though and he 
feels that planned improvements in near future releases will address this. No 
guarantees and no specifics of course (as that’s all NDA).



As for documentation, you can suggest (and even contribute to) all of the 
current branch documentation hosted on docs.microsoft.com.



For lots more details and fun with boundary groups (more fun than fun with 
flags even) come to our session (Kerim and myself) at MMS on Boundary Groups.

I think Microsoft needs to get some updated documents similar to those you 
provided but updated.  The flow chart one would be fantastic.  I see now way to 
get it working properly  without throwing out the entire design.

So we did set up a secondary site because we wanted MOST of the traffic to flow 
to the secondary site.  That was the entire reason we went with a secondary 
site.  We then set up a bunch of DP’s  across multiple wan areas that we wanted 
to flow to that server (even though I know it sends a few things up to the 
primary MP Most traffic went to our secondary site)

So just before this update – we had 1 Secondary server MP + DP.  Then we had 3 
other servers setup across fairly well connected wans (Each in their own 
boundary group with 1 server + relationship)  that serviced a few 1000 pc’s.  
The Systems all used those DPs’ locally and the Secondary Sites Server was set 
up as a fallback.  This worked really well and when you went to the console – 
you could see all those clients withint that boundary group  was set to that 
Secondary Site MP.

Example – Atlantic Secondary Site Boundary group – 1 server no relationship  - 
all atlantic boundaries –ip ranges
New Brunswick boundary group – 1 server 1 relationshp to atlantic – NB Ip ranges
Nova Scotia boundary group - 1 server 1 relationshp to atlantic – NS Ip ranges
Newfoundland boundary group -1 server 1 relationshp to atlantic – NL Ip ranges


Now after the change it seems no matter what we do – the clients all show up 
with our primary site MP (and it seems all traffic around policy and inventory 
and status messages is going there)

Just to let you all know we have successfully implemented Upgrade Readiness 
with System Center Configuration Manager.

The documentation is not great (hasn't been updated to reflect recent changes) 
and there doesn't seem to be a single end-to-end document from Microsoft, but 
we found a great article by Nickolaj Andersen and it mostly matched the process 
we needed to follow:

Setup a connection between Upgrade Analytics and ConfigMgr Current 
Branch

Some noteworthy points are:

* The OMS workspace can be specifically configured with the 'Free' data 
plan (500MB daily upload limit, 7 day data retention, 90 day activity log and 
500min/month runbooks)

* Make sure you assign the App permissions to the resource group and 
the OMS workspace

* We found although the documentation says the script will return exit 
codes, it does not in all cases e.g. returns 0 if a pending reboot is required 
(not very helpful) so we made some minor tweaks to the PowerShell script to 
ensure the our detection rules and return codes were meaningful in ConfigMgr

* When you run the script it can take around 48 hours before the data 
is visible in OMS

* The ConfigMgr connector has a default weekly synchronisation schedule 
so it can take 7 days before ConfigMgr gets the data after OMS

We are using it. It's very simple to setup. All you need is a free OMS account, 
and an Azure Subscription.

Once you setup your Azure Subscription, make sure you go into the Azure Portal 
and change the subscription to Pay as you go. We confirmed with our TAM and an 
Azure SME that there is no cost as long as the only service you add in OMS is 
Upgrade Readiness.

Did your clients update to the latest agent?

Subject: [mssms] 1702 - Software Center settings and notification messages for 
high-impact task sequences

I recently upgraded from 1602 > 1702 without issue. I want to take advantage of 
the new notification messages during an OS upgrade task sequence but I can't 
seem to get it to work. I also don't seem to be able to get the custom Software 
Center properties to show up for the new task sequence either.

Here are the steps I took to test this - I created a new OS Upgrade task 
sequence and I modified the User Notification tab with custom text and made 
sure the check box was in this is a high impact task sequence. I then deployed 
the task sequence to a client expecting to see the custom Software center 
properties settings as well as the custom user notification text when I kicked 
off the task sequence. Instead I saw all of the default values in Software 
Center as well as the default notification text letting my users know they were 
going to lose all of their data and settings. :)

Here are the screenshots of my task sequence settings and what I see in 
Software Center.

Any idea where I should start troubleshooting this issue?

Actually it was a brand new task sequence, but yes I do the same thing as you. 
I change the title slightly and then force a sync and verify that I see the 
change in software center.

Small thing, but could it be that your Software Center was not updated with the 
latest information on your task sequence deployment?

During testing, I usually add a number or letter to the end of the Task 
Sequence name so that when I go to the Software Center I am sure I have the 
latest changes.
