Ran into a problem today, during windows 10 inplace upgrade, machine didn’t continue upgrade after reboot, it was about 70% of the update, machine shutdown and won’t restart again. Trouble shooting… yes I did find where is the issue. Because I have tested my Task Sequence like hundred times, I know what steps are 100% work and what might failed. In this case, I was 100% sure nothing wrong with my upgrade task, nothing wrong…
We successfully did Windows 10 In-Place Upgrade for hundreds machines, but few of them went into infinity restart loop at the end. Troubleshoot wasn’t easy, especially do it remotely. Yeah, you are right, how to troubleshoot and fix a computer that reboot itself and also has bitlocker and bitlocker PIN? Sounds mission impossible, but WE DID IT!!! Make a Dart 10 ISO file, upload it to somewhere. Let’s hope you have the bitlocker key for…
Last friday one customer said their users didn’t get any applications from Software Center. So I started to check what is the issue, or if there is any issue. Applications are deployed to user collections as mandatory. Based on reports, applications are installed to some users successfully, there is no errors in the reports, but mostly shows just unknown. So I think, well “maybe people are in holidays, maybe machines are just not online, user…

I know you are going to laugh why did I write this post, this is not new, but once again I forgot it and spent few hours wonder why my SCCM package didn’t work. (Maybe shouldn’t do any SCCM stuff after vacation. I was on one week holiday trip in Tenerife. :D) The job was simply, copy one file to C:\Windows\System32 folder use SCCM package, not application. What…it didn’t work ?!?! 👿 Why?!?! Well, because…
How is this related with SCCM? No, it doesn’t 😀 But because of Adobe Reader was deployed by SCCM, and there is print problem, so it became “SCCM package” problem, and it became my problem. 🙂 So the problem is when open a pdf file in IE, when you click this little “print” icon in IE, we got an error from Adobe Reader “Bad parameter.” Although I am 100% sure nothing wrong with our Adobe…
Setup my test lab in this weekend to test SCCM TP 1609, and my PXE boot failed. SMSPXE.log shows: RequestMPKeyInformation: Send() failed. Unsuccessful in getting MP key information. 80004005.

So what happend? Well, because I uninstalled WSUS (not ask my way, I had my reason. 😀…
This morning, I noticed in our SCCM Primary server, all components Type and Availability shows “Unknown” After awhile, “Type” and “Availability” shows correctly, about 60 minutes later, it shows “Unknown” again, and it just repeatedly changes itself. We rebooted the server, but it didn’t help. Investigating further, I saw that the compmon.log on the site server displayed the following errors: “Failed to read the required Operations Management component registry key values on local computer; error…
Perhaps not many people have this issue, but I would like to mention it here. The system date and time setting on a computer that is running Windows 10 Version 1511 (build 10586.xx) incorrectly reverts to a date and time that is at least one day in the past. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3160312 If your envirment is in a private network or proxy, I suggest you run this step in your win 10 image capture process: Net stop…
