Configuration Manager 2007 Reporting Point – Cannot set application role ‘webreport_approle’

Stumbled over an issue with a Configuration Manager 2007 Reporting point this morning. The customer couldn’t run a report, instead they got this message in the browser: Cannot set application role 'webreport_approle' because it does not exist or the password is incorrect For what-ever reason it turned out the application role has dropped the default permissions in SQL. To fix and verify the problem I: Started SQL Server Management Studio Navigated to SMS_SiteCode, Security, Roles, Application Roles, verified that the wbreport_approle is created Opened the properties for the role and assigned the webreport_approle schema (which is the default setting for [...]

Error installing SQL Reporting Builder 3.0 in ConfigMgr. 2012

It has happen to me before, and it will happen again. I ran my ConfigMgr. 2012 administrator console without starting it as Administrator. When trying to edit a report I got the error message: Report Builder 2.0  is not installed as a click-once application on report server The error message is kind of funny, as I had already configured ConfigMgr. 2012 to launch Reporting Builder 3.0 and not the default 2.0 version. When I finally managed to start the Configuration Manager Administrator console as administrator I successfully launched Reporting Builder 3.0 for information about tweeking ConfigMgr. 2012 to launch report [...]

Configure Client remediation in ConfigMgr. 2012 to monitor only using Settings Management

When you install the ConfigMgr. 2012 client, you also get a scheduled Windows task that run daily health checks on the client, and if needed remediates the client. That is a great feature for most our clients, but maybe not a feature you want to implement on all clients. On some servers you might not allow uncontrolled software installations, even if it is an attempt to reinstall the client. To prevent the client from being remediated configure the NotifyOnly registry key from FALSE to TRUE in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CCM\Ccmeval\NotifyOnly When knowing the registry key and value, it’s easy to configure a CI [...]

Todays big question, can you deploy the ConfigMgr. 2012 beta 2 client to Windows 8

The answer is YES, you can install Configuration Manager 2012 beta 2 on the newly released Windows 8 platform. After a few quick tests I have verified that: The client is installed and Software Center is available Inventory is working Application deployment is working Settings Management is working Software Updates also works. Not that I could test with any Windows 8 updates, I tested with some custom updates from SCUP 2011. Remote Tools works. OSD works.

Configuration Manager shutdown utility

To suppress or not suppress a computer restart when deploying software and software updates that is the question.
