http://blogs.technet.com/b/hhoy/archive/2012/03/07/role-based-administration-in-system-center-2012-configuration-manager.aspxRole-Based Administration in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager

In Configuration Manager 2012, Security Roles are used to collectively group objects and permissions (operations) for assignment to an Administrator. Instead of anindividual permission set on a single instance of object, the Security Role provides a single Role assignment to an administrator; reducing the overall complexitywith permission management. An “object” in the Security Role is something that you want to manage access to and “permission” is the operational functions, suchas Read, Modify and Delete.

Connect the Configuration Manager 2012 primary site as a child primary site of the Configuration Manager 2007 primary site.

Correct Answer: ASection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Answer : Assign the computer account of the Central Administration site server permission to the Configuration Manger 2007 site. Assign the computer account of the Central Administration site server permission to the Microsoft SQL Server database instance.

Explanation : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712991.aspxDetermine Whether to Migrate Configuration Manager 2007 to System Center 2012 Configuration Manager

In Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, the built-in migration functionality replaces in-place upgrades of existing Configuration Managerinfrastructure by providing a process that transfers data from active Configuration Manager 2007 sites. The functionality provided by migration helps you maintaininvestments that you have made in configurations and deployments while you can take full advantage of core changes in the product introduced in System Center2012 Configuration Manager. These changes include a simplified Configuration Manager hierarchy that uses fewer sites and resources, and the improvedprocessing by use of native 64-bit code that runs on 64-bit hardware.Migration can transfer most data from Configuration Manager 2007.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg681981.aspxPlanning for Migration to System Center 2012 Configuration Manager

You must first install a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager hierarchy to be the destination hierarchy before you can migrate data from a supported sourcehierarchy.After you install the destination hierarchy, configure the management features and functions that you want to use in your destination hierarchy before you start tomigrate data.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712313.aspxPrerequisites for Migration in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager


To migrate from a supported source hierarchy, you must have access to each applicable Configuration Manager source site, and permissions within the SystemCenter 2012 Configuration Manager destination site to configure and run migration operations.

Required Configurations for Migration..

Data GatheringTo enable the destination site to gather data, you must configure the following two source site access accounts for use with each source site:

* Source Site Account: This account is used to access the SMS Provider of the source site. * For a Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 source site, this account requires Read permission to all source site objects.* For a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager source site, this account requires Read permission to all source site objects, You grant thispermission to the account by using role-based administration.

* Source Site Database Account: This account is used to access the SQL Server database of the source site and requires Read and Execute permissionsto the source site database.

You can configure these accounts when you configure a new source hierarchy, data gathering for an additional source site, or when you reconfigure thecredentials for a source site. These accounts can use a domain user account, or you can specify the computer account of the top-level site of the destinationhierarchy.

Security Note: If you use the Configuration Manager computer account for either access account, ensure that this account is a member of the security groupDistributed COM Users in the domain where the source site resides.

When gathering data, the following network protocols and ports are used: NetBIOS/SMB – 445 (TCP) RPC (WMI) - 135 (TCP) SQL Server - 1433 (TCP)

...

QUESTION 9Your company uses System Center 2012 Configuration Manager to deploy applications .

The company purchases a new application named App1 . App1 can be installed only on client computers that run Windows 7.

You need to ensure that App1 is installed only on Wind ows 7 computers that have at least 2 Gb of memory a nd 300 Gb of free disk space.

What should you create?

A. a Query objectB. custom client user settingsC. a configuration baselineD. a query-based collection


Explanation/Reference:Answer : a query-based collection

Personal note : Previous experience with this question is that the answer should be "a requirement rules".However, since this question does not provide that possibility, the next best thing is "a query-based collection".

Explanation :


http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682177.aspxIntroduction to Collections in Configuration Manager

Collections in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager represent logical groupings of resources, such as users and devices. You can use collections to help youperform many tasks, such as managing applications, deploying compliance settings, or installing software updates. You can also use collections to manage groupsof client settings. ..Query RuleQuery rules dynamically update the membership of a collection based on a query that Configuration Manager runs on a schedule. For example, you can create acollection of users who are a member of the Human Resources organizational unit in Active Directory Domain Services. Unlike direct rule collections, this collectionmembership automatically updates when you add or remove new users to the Human Resources organizational unit.

Further information :http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682073.aspxPrerequisites for Compliance Settings in Configuration Manager.. To run queries related to compliance settings: Read permission for the Query object.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712688.aspxPlanning for Client Settings in Configuration ManagerUse client settings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager to configure user and device settings for the hierarchy. Client settings include configurationoptions such as the hardware inventory and schedule, and the polling schedule for client policy.

All Configuration Manager clients in the hierarchy use the Default Client Settings that are automatically created when you install Configuration Manager. However,you can modify the default client settings and you can create custom client settings to override the default client settings for specific users or devices.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682139.aspxIntroduction to Compliance Settings in Configuration Manager..Compliance is evaluated by defining a configuration baseline that contains the configuration items that you want to evaluate and settings and rules that describe thelevel of compliance you must have.

QUESTION 10Your network contains a Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server . All client computers are configured as WSUS clients . All of the client computers have Windows Firewall enabled . Windows Firewall is configured to allow File and Printer Sharing . Users are not configured as local Administrators on their client computers . You deploy System Center 2012 Configuration Manager .


You need to identify which methods you can use to deplo y the Configuration Manager client to an of the cli ent computers .

Which client installation methods should you identify? (Choose all that Apply.)

A. a logon script installationB. a manual client installationC. a software update-based client installationD. a Client Push InstallationE. an Active Directory Group Policy-based installation

Correct Answer: CDESection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Answer: a software update-based client installation a Client Push Installation an Active Directory Group Policy-based installation

Explanation:The Logon script runs with the user's credentials.Manual installation also runs with the user's credentials.Software update point uses the local SYSTEM account and All client computers are configured as WSUS clients. So the firewall should not affect functionality.Client Push Installation requires File and Printer Sharing and runs with the local SYSTEM account.Group Policy Installation requires File and Printer Sharing and runs with the local SYSTEM account.

Further information:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682191.aspxDetermine the Client Installation Method to Use for Windows Computers in Configuration Manager

The following table outlines the advantages and disadvantages of each client installation method to help you determine which will work best in your organization:Client push installation

Can be used to install the client on a single computer, a collection of computers, or to the results from a query.Can be used to automatically install the client on all discovered computers.Automatically uses client installation properties defined on the Client tab in the Client Push Installation Properties dialog box.

Can cause high network traffic when pushing to large collections.Can only be used on computers that have been discovered by System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.Cannot be used to install clients in a workgroup.A client push installation account must be specified that has administrative rights to the intended client computer.


Windows Firewall must be configured on client computers with exceptions so that client push installation can be completed.You cannot cancel client push installation. When you use this client installation method for a site, Configuration Manager tries to install the client on alldiscovered resources and retries any failures for up to 7 days.

Software update point-based installationCan use your existing software updates infrastructure to manage the client software.Can automatically install the client software on new computers if Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and Group Policy settings in Active DirectoryDomain Services are configured correctly.Does not require computers to be discovered before the client can be installed.Computers can read client installation properties that have been published to Active Directory Domain Services.Will reinstall the client software if it is removed.Does not require you to configure and maintain an installation account for the intended client computer.

Requires a functioning software updates infrastructure as a prerequisite.Must use the same server for client installation and software updates, and this server must reside in a primary site.To install new clients, you must configure an Group Policy Object (GDO) in Active Directory Domain Services with the client's active software update pointand port.If the Active Directory schema is not extended for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, you must use Group Policy settings to provision computerswith client installation properties.

Group Policy installationDoes not require computers to be discovered before the client can be installed.Can be used for new client installations or for upgrades.Computers can read client installation properties that have been published to Active Directory Domain Services.Does not require you to configure and maintain an installation account for the intended client computer.

Can cause high network traffic if a large number of clients are being installed.If the Active Directory schema is not extended for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, you must use Group Policy settings to add client installationproperties to computers in your site.

Logon script installationDoes not require computers to be discovered before the client can be installed.Supports using command-line properties for CCMSetup.

Can cause high network traffic if a large number of clients are being installed over a short time period.Can take a long time to install on all client computers if users do not frequently log on to the network.

Manual installationDoes not require computers to be discovered before the client can be installed.Can be useful for testing purposes.Supports using command-line properties for CCMSetup.


No automation, therefore time consuming.


The environment contains a primary site server named Server1 and a server named Server2 that runs Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2. Server2 contains the Configuration Manager database .Server2 fails .You install SQL Server 2008 R2 on a new server. You name the server Server2 .

You need to restore the Configuration Manager database to the new server.

What should you do?

From Server2, run Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, and then restore the backed up SQL Server database and log files.D. From Server1, run the Site Repair Wizard.


Explanation/Reference:Answer : From Server1, run the Configuration Manager 2012 Setup Wizard.

Explanation : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712697.aspxBackup and Recovery in Configuration Manager

Recover a Configuration Manager SiteA Configuration Manager site recovery is required whenever a Configuration Manager site fails or data loss occurs in the site database. Repairing andresynchronizing data are the core tasks of a site recovery and are required to prevent interruption of operations. Site recovery is started by running the ConfigurationManager Setup Wizard from installation media or by configuring the unattended installation script and then using the Setup command /script option. Your recoveryoptions vary depending on whether you have a backup of the Configuration Manager site database.

...

Site Database Recovery Options


When you run Setup, you have the following recovery options for the site database:

* Recover the site database using a backup set: Use this option when you have a backup of the Configuration Manager site database that was created as part ofthe Backup Site Server maintenance task run on the site before the site database failure. When you have a hierarchy, the changes that were made to the sitedatabase after the last site database backup are retrieved from the central administration site for a primary site, or from a reference primary site for a centraladministration site. When you recover the site database for a stand-alone primary site, you lose site changes after the last backup.

When you recover the site database for a site in a hierarchy, the recovery behavior is different for a central administration site and primary site, and when the lastbackup is inside or outside of the SQL Server change tracking retention period....

The following task sequence steps can be added to a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager task sequence:..

Install Software UpdatesUse the Install Software Updates task sequence step to install software updates on the destination computer. The destination computer is not evaluated forapplicable software updates until this task sequence step runs. At that time, the destination computer is evaluated for software updates like any otherConfiguration Manager-managed client. In particular, this step installs only the software updates that are targeted to collections of which the computer iscurrently a member.

This task sequence step runs only in a standard operating system. It does not run in Windows PE.

In Configuration Manager 2012, Security Roles are used to collectively group objects and permissions (operations) for assignment to an Administrator. Instead of anindividual permission set on a single instance of object, the Security Role provides a single Role assignment to an administrator; reducing the overall complexitywith permission management. An “object” in the Security Role is something that you want to manage access to and “permission” is the operational functions, suchas Read, Modify and Delete.

Correct Answer: MSection: (none)Explanation

Explanation/Reference:Answer : Install Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) on Server3.

Explanation :http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682168.aspxIntroduction to Software Updates in Configuration Manager

Software updates in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager provides a set of tools and resources that can help manage the complex task of tracking andapplying software updates to client computers in the enterprise. An effective software update management process is necessary to maintain operational efficiency,overcome security issues, and maintain the stability of the network infrastructure. However, because of the changing nature of technology and the continual


appearance of new security threats, effective software update management requires consistent and continual attention.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712312.aspxConfiguring Software Updates in Configuration Manager

...Step 1: Install and Configure a Software Update Point

The software update point is required on the central administration site and on the primary sites in order to enable software updates compliance assessment and todeploy software updates to clients. The software update point is optional on secondary sites. The software update point site system role must be created on aserver that has WSUS installed. The software update point interacts with the WSUS services to configure the software update settings and to requestsynchronization of software updates metadata. When you have a Configuration Manager hierarchy, install and configure the software update point on the centraladministration site first, then on child primary sites, and then optionally, on secondary sites. When you have a stand-alone primary site, not a central administrationsite, install and configure the software update point on the primary site first, and then optionally, on secondary sites. Some settings are only available when youconfigure the software update point on a top-level site. There are different options that you must consider depending on where you installed the software updatepoint.

You can add the software update point site system role to an existing site system server or you can create a new one. On the System Role Selection page of theCreate Site System Server Wizard or Add Site System Roles Wizard , depending on whether you add the site system role to a new or existing site server, selectSoftware update point, and then configure the software update point settings in the wizard....

Explanation:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712290.aspxHow to Extend Hardware Inventory in Configuration Manager

System Center 2012 Configuration Manager hardware inventory reads information about devices by using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). WMI isthe Microsoft implementation of web-based Enterprise Management (WBEM), which is an industry standard for accessing management information in an enterpriseenvironment. In previous versions of Configuration Manager, you could extend hardware inventory by modifying the file sms_def.mof on the site server. ..In System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, you no longer edit the sms_def.mof file as you did in Configuration Manager 2007. Instead, you can enable anddisable WMI classes, and add new classes to collect by hardware inventory by using client settings. Configuration Manager provides the following methods toextend hardware inventory:

Enable or disable existing inventory classes - You can enable or disable the default inventory classes used by Configuration Manager or you can createcustom client settings that allow you to collect different hardware inventory classes from specified collections of clients. Add a new inventory class - You can add a new inventory class from the WMI namespace of another device. Import and export hardware inventory classes - You can import and export Managed Object Format (MOF) files that contain inventory classes from theConfiguration Manager console. Create NOIDMIF Files - Use NOIDMIF files to collect information about client devices that cannot be inventoried by Configuration Manager.Create IDMIF Files - Use IDMIF files to collect information about assets in your organization that are not associated with a Configuration Manager client, forexample, projectors, photocopiers and network printers.

Explanation :http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682201How to Monitor Applications in Configuration Manager

In Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, you can monitor the deployment of all software, including software updates, compliance settings,applications, task sequences, and packages and programs. You can monitor deployments by using the Monitoring workspace in the Configuration Manager consoleor by using reports.

Applications in Configuration Manager support state-based monitoring, which allows you to track the last application deployment state for users and devices. Thesestate messages display information about individual devices. For example, if an application is deployed to a collection of users, you can view the compliance stateof the deployment and the deployment purpose in the Configuration Manager console.

An application deployment state has one of the following compliance states:Success – The application deployment succeeded or was found to be already installed.In Progress – The application deployment is in progress.


Unknown – The state of the application deployment could not be determined. This state is not applicable for deployments with a purpose of Available. This stateis typically displayed when state messages from the client are not yet received.Requirements Not Met – The application was not deployed because it was not compliant with a dependency or a requirement rule, or because the operatingsystem to which it was deployed was not applicable.Error – The application failed to deploy because of an error.

...

Explanation/Reference:Answer : Create a new set of custom client agent settings for the marketing department and include the custom registry information.

Explanation :http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712688.aspxPlanning for Client Settings in Configuration Manager

Use client settings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager to configure user and device settings for the hierarchy. Client settings include configurationoptions such as the hardware inventory and schedule, and the polling schedule for client policy.

All Configuration Manager clients in the hierarchy use the Default Client Settings that are automatically created when you install Configuration Manager. However, you can modify the default client settings and you can create custom client settings to override the default client settings for specific users or devices.

When you create a set of custom client settings, you must assign it to one or more collections for the settings to be applied to the collection members. If you apply multiple sets of custom client settings to the same user or device, you can control the order in which these settings are applied according to the order that youspecify. Custom device or user settings with an Order value of 1 are always processed last and will override any other configurations. The Default Client Settingshas a permanent order of 10,000, which ensures it is always applied before any custom settings are applied. When there is a conflict of settings, the client settingthat was applied last (with the lower order value) overrides any previous settings. You can view the resultant client settings for a user or a device by using theSystem Center 2012 Configuration Manager reports.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682067.aspxAbout Client Settings in Configuration Manager

All client settings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager are managed in the Configuration Manager console from the Client Settings node in theAdministration workspace. A set of default settings is supplied with Configuration Manager. When you modify the default client settings, these settings are applied toall clients in the hierarchy. You can also configure custom client settings, which override the default client settings when you assign these to collections.

You manage all client settings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager from the Client Settings node in the Administration workspace of the ConfigurationManager console. Modify the default settings when you want to configure settings for all users and devices in the hierarchy that do not have any custom settingsapplied. If you want to apply different settings to just some users or devices, create custom settings and deploy these to collections.

Note:You can also use configuration items to manage clients to assess, track, and remediate the configuration compliance of devices.

Because editing isn't that easy. It is common sense, that you just add another client setting and deploy it to the collection.Why? All settings can be separately deleted and especially named. Easier to handle.


Exam D

QUESTION 1Your network contains a single Active Directory domain . You plan to deploy System Center 2012 Configuration Man ager . The hierarchy will have a Central Administration Site and five Primary Sit es.

You need to ensure that you can target user groups for software distribution . The solution must minimize network traffic .

Which Configuration Manager discovery method should you use?

A. Active Directory User Discovery on the primary sitesB. Active Directory User Discovery on the primary sites and Active Directory Group Discovery on every siteC. Active Directory User Discovery on the Central Administration site and Active Directory Group Discovery on the primary sitesD. Active Directory User Discovery and Active Directory Group Discovery on the Central Administration site


Explanation/Reference:Answer : Active Directory User Discovery on the primary sites and Active Directory Group Discovery on every site

Personal comment:From my point of view, the correct answer would be Active Directory User Discovery and Active Directory Group Discovery on the primary sitesThe remaining possible correct answers might be: Active Directory User Discovery on the primary sites and Active Directory Group Discovery on every siteor Active Directory User Discovery and Active Directory Group Discovery on the Central Administration site

Update:It seems that more recent exams contain the answer "Active Directory User Discovery and Active Directory Group Discovery on the primary sites " So if you are lucky and have it, choose this one.

Explanation : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712681.aspx#BKMK_ChooseCASDetermine Whether to Install a Central Administration Site

Install a central administration site if you plan to install multiple primary sites. Use a central administration site to configure hierarchy-wide settings and to monitor all


sites and objects in the hierarchy. This site type does not manage clients directly but it does coordinate inter-site data replication, which includes the configuration ofsites and clients throughout the hierarchy.Use the following information to help you plan for a central administration site:..

You can manage all clients in the hierarchy and perform site management tasks for any primary site when you use a Configuration Manager console that isconnected to the central administration site.

..You can configure discovery operations throughout the hierarchy from the central administration site by assigning discovery methods to run at individual sites.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712308.aspxPlanning for Discovery in Configuration Manager

System Center 2012 Configuration Manager discovery identifies computer and user resources that you can manage by using Configuration Manager. It can alsodiscover the network infrastructure in your environment.

Discovery Methods in Configuration Manager

Before you enable discovery methods for Configuration Manager, ensure you understand what each method can discover. Because discovery can generate a largevolume of network traffic, and the resultant DDRs can result in a significant use of CPU resources during processing, plan to use only those discovery methods thatyou require to meet your goals. You could use only one or two discovery methods to be successful, and you can always enable additional methods in a controlledmanner to extend the level of discovery in your environment...

Active Directory User Discovery Discovers user accounts from the specified locations in Active Directory Domain Services.

Active Directory Group DiscoveryDiscovers local, global, and universal security groups, the membership within these groups, and the membership within distribution groups from the specifiedlocations in Active directory Domain Services. Distribution groups are not discovered as group resources.

..

About Discovery Data Records

Discovery data records (DDRs) are files created by a discovery method that contain information about a resource you can manage in Configuration Manager. DDRscontain information about computers, users and in some cases, network infrastructure. They are processed at primary sites or at central administration sites. Afterthe resource information in the DDR is entered into the database, the DDR is deleted and the information replicates as global data to all sites in the hierarchy.

The site at which a DDR is processed depends on the information it contains:DDRs for newly discovered resources that are not in the database are processed at the top-level site of the hierarchy. The top-level site creates a new resourcerecord in the database and assigns it a unique identifier. DDRs transfer by file-based replication until they reach the top-level site.DDRs for previously discovered objects are processed at primary sites. Child primary sites do not transfer DDRs to the central administration site when the DDRcontains information about a resource that is already in the database.


Secondary site do not process discovery data records and always transfer them by file-based replication to their parent primary site.

DDR files are identified by the .ddr extension, and have a typical size of about 1 KB.

..

Decide Which Discovery Methods to UseDiscover Users

When you want to discover information about users, you can use Active Directory User Discovery. Similar to Active Directory System Discovery, this methoddiscovers users from Active Directory and includes basic information in addition to extended Active Directory information. You can use this information to buildcomplex queries and collections similar to those for computers.

Discover Group InformationWhen you want to discover information about groups and group memberships, use Active Directory Group Discovery. This discovery method creates resourcerecords for security groups.

You can use this method to search a specific Active Directory group to identify the members of that group in addition to any nested groups within that group. Youcan also use this method to search an Active Directory location for groups, and recursively search each child container of that location in Active Directory DomainServices.

This discovery method can also search the membership of distribution groups. This can identify the group relationships of both users and computers.

When you discover a group, you can also discover limited information about its members. This does not replace Active Directory System or User Discovery and isusually insufficient to build complex queries and collections or serve as the bases of a client push installation.

Decide Where to Run DiscoveryWhen you plan to use discovery in Configuration Manager, you must consider where to run each discovery method.

After Configuration Manager adds discovery data to a database, it is quickly shared between all sites in the hierarchy. Because there is no benefit to discovering thesame information at multiple sites in your hierarchy, consider configuring a single instance of each discovery method that you use to run at a single site instead ofrunning multiple instances of a single method at different sites.



Best Practices for Discovery

Run Active Directory System Discovery and Active Directory User Discovery before you run Active Directory Group DiscoveryWhen Active Directory Group Discovery identifies a previously undiscovered user or computer as a member of a group, it attempts to discover basic details for theuser or computer. Because Active Directory Group Discovery is not optimized for this type of discovery, this process can cause Active Directory Group Discovery torun slow. Additionally, Active Directory Group Discovery identifies only the basic details about users and computers is discovers, and does not create a completeuser or computer discovery record. When you run Active Directory System Discovery and Active Directory User Discovery, the additional Active Directory attributesfor each object type are available, and as a result, Active Directory Group Discovery runs more efficiently.

When you configure Active Directory Group Discovery, only specify groups that you use with Configuration ManagerTo help control the use of resources by Active Directory Group Discovery, specify only those groups that you use with Configuration Manager. This is becauseActive Directory Group Discovery recursively searches each group it discovers for users, computers, and nested groups. The search of each nested group canexpand the scope of Active Directory Group Discovery and reduce performance. Additionally, when you configure delta discovery for Active Directory GroupDiscovery, the discovery method monitors each group for changes. This further reduces performance when the method must search unnecessary groups.

..

Run Active Directory Discovery methods at primary site that has a network location that is closest to your Active Directory domain controllerTo improve the performance of Active Directory discovery, it is recommended to run discover at a primary site that has a fast network connection to your domaincontrollers. If you run the same Active Directory discovery method at multiple sites, it is recommended to configure each discovery method to avoid overlap. Unlikepast versions of Configuration Manager, discovery data is shared between sites. Therefore, it is not necessary to discovery the same information at multiple sites.

Explanation : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712991.aspxDetermine Whether to Migrate Configuration Manager 2007 to System Center 2012 Configuration Manager

In Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, the built-in migration functionality replaces in-place upgrades of existing Configuration Managerinfrastructure by providing a process that transfers data from active Configuration Manager 2007 sites. The functionality provided by migration helps you maintaininvestments that you have made in configurations and deployments while you can take full advantage of core changes in the product introduced in System Center2012 Configuration Manager. These changes include a simplified Configuration Manager hierarchy that uses fewer sites and resources, and the improved


processing by use of native 64-bit code that runs on 64-bit hardware.Migration can transfer most data from Configuration Manager 2007.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg681981.aspxPlanning for Migration to System Center 2012 Configuration Manager

You must first install a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager hierarchy to be the destination hierarchy before you can migrate data from a supported sourcehierarchy.After you install the destination hierarchy, configure the management features and functions that you want to use in your destination hierarchy before you start tomigrate data.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712313.aspxPrerequisites for Migration in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager

To migrate from a supported source hierarchy, you must have access to each applicable Configuration Manager source site, and permissions within the SystemCenter 2012 Configuration Manager destination site to configure and run migration operations.

Required Configurations for Migration..

Data GatheringTo enable the destination site to gather data, you must configure the following two source site access accounts for use with each source site:

* Source Site Account: This account is used to access the SMS Provider of the source site. * For a Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 source site, this account requires Read permission to all source site objects.* For a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager source site, this account requires Read permission to all source site objects, You grant thispermission to the account by using role-based administration.

* Source Site Database Account: This account is used to access the SQL Server database of the source site and requires Read and Execute permissionsto the source site database.

You can configure these accounts when you configure a new source hierarchy, data gathering for an additional source site, or when you reconfigure thecredentials for a source site. These accounts can use a domain user account, or you can specify the computer account of the top-level site of the destinationhierarchy.

Security Note: If you use the Configuration Manager computer account for either access account, ensure that this account is a member of the security groupDistributed COM Users in the domain where the source site resides.

When gathering data, the following network protocols and ports are used: NetBIOS/SMB – 445 (TCP) RPC (WMI) - 135 (TCP) SQL Server - 1433 (TCP)

...Over here, we can clearly see that it failed to verify if the SMS Agent Host Service exists and it failed with error code 5 (Access Denied). Other than this, we canalso see that few other evaluation tasks did not run because the tasks they were dependent on failed.


Once this evaluation was complete, I checked the ConfigMgr Console to see what all is shown over there. So we go to ConfigMgr Console > Monitoring > ClientStatus > Client Check. Over here we get graphical view which gives summary of Client Checks.

So now, I can see that there is 1 machine which failed the Client Check. if we click on the Red/Green Area of the graph, it takes us to a Temporary MonitoringCollection. I clicked on the Red Area and it took me to a collection named “Clients that failed client check from “All Desktop and Server Clients”

So we can see that there is one machine which failed the Client Check. At the bottom on the screen, I clicked on Client Check Detail Tab


So now, I can see that “Verify SMS Agent Host service exists” task failed with the error “Access is Denied” and this caused 3 other evaluation tasks to fail becausethey were dependent on the first task. Pretty Nice Thing!!

We can even configure alerts based on Client Checks. For this, I opened the properties of the collection my client is a part of and went Alerts Tab.


Click on Add


I selected the option “Client check pass or no results for active clients falls below threshold (%)”. After clicking OK it took me back to the Properties of the Collection.


Now, we get an option to select the Severity of the Alert and SLA. I selected “Warning” as he Severity and 90 as the SLA. So whenever the Client Check FailPercentage falls below 90%, I’ll get an alert in the console. Now, if we go to Monitor > Alerts. We can see that an alert has been created.


..

Further information :http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh427334.aspxConfiguring Alerts in Configuration Manager

Alerts in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager are generated by some operations when a specific condition occurs. Typically, alerts are generated when anerror occurs that you must resolve. Additionally, an alert might be generated to warn you that a condition exists so that you can continue to monitor the situation.You can configure alerts for some Configuration Manager operations, such as Endpoint Protection and client status, whereas some alerts are configuredautomatically. Additionally, you can configure subscriptions to alerts for client status and Endpoint Protection that will be emailed to you.

Personal comment:"Create an alert subscription." is not a correct answer because it only reffers to e-mailing alerts.

Explanation/Reference:Answer : Register the Service Principal Name (SPN) for the SQL Server service account of Server3. From Server1, run the Configuration Manager 2012 SetupWizard.



Recover a Configuration Manager SiteA Configuration Manager site recovery is required whenever a Configuration Manager site fails or data loss occurs in the site database. Repairing andresynchronizing data are the core tasks of a site recovery and are required to prevent interruption of operations. Site recovery is started by running the ConfigurationManager Setup Wizard from installation media or by configuring the unattended installation script and then using the Setup command /script option. Your recoveryoptions vary depending on whether you have a backup of the Configuration Manager site database.

...

Site Database Recovery OptionsWhen you run Setup, you have the following recovery options for the site database:

* Recover the site database using a backup set: Use this option when you have a backup of the Configuration Manager site database that was created as part ofthe Backup Site Server maintenance task run on the site before the site database failure. When you have a hierarchy, the changes that were made to the sitedatabase after the last site database backup are retrieved from the central administration site for a primary site, or from a reference primary site for a centraladministration site. When you recover the site database for a stand-alone primary site, you lose site changes after the last backup.

When you recover the site database for a site in a hierarchy, the recovery behavior is different for a central administration site and primary site, and when the lastbackup is inside or outside of the SQL Server change tracking retention period....


SCCM 2007 needed you to run Site Repair Wizard.

What should you do?

A. Configure the existing management point to use HTTPS. Configure the research department computers always to use HTTPS.

B. Create a new primary child site and configure the site to use native mode. Assign all of the research department computers to the new site.


C. Install a new management point and configure the management point always to use HTTPS.Configure the research department computers always to use HTTPS.

D. Install a new management point and configure Windows Firewall to block abound TCP port 80.Configure the research department computes always to use HTTPS.


Explanation/Reference:Answer : Install a new management point and configure the management point always to use HTTPS. Configure the research department computers always to use HTTPS.

Explanation : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712282.aspx#BKMK_Site_System_RolesPlanning for Site Systems in Configuration Manager

Optional Site System RolesOptional site system roles are site system roles that are not required for the core operation of a Configuration Manager site. However, by default, the managementpoint and distribution point, which are optional site system roles, are installed on the site server when you install a primary or secondary site. Although these two sitesystem roles are not required for the core operation of the site, you must have at least one management point to support clients at those locations. After you install asite, you can move the default location of the management point or distribution point to another server, install additional instances of each site system role, andinstall other optional site system roles to meet your business requirements.

The optional site system roles are described in the following table:..

Management pointA site system role that provides policy and service location information to clients and receives configuration data from clients.You must install at least one management point at each primary site that manages clients, and at each secondary site where you want to provide a local pointof contact for clients to obtain computer and user polices.

..

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682060.aspxHow to Assign Clients to a Site in Configuration Manager

Locating Management PointsAfter a client is successfully assigned to a site, it locates a management point in the site.

Client computers download a list of management points in the site that they can connect to. This process happens whenever the client restarts, every 25 hours, andif the client detects a network change, such as the computer disconnects and reconnects on the network or it receives a new IP address. The list includesmanagement points on the intranet and whether they accept client connections over HTTP or HTTPS. When the client computer is on the Internet and the clientdoesn’t yet have a list of management points, it connects to the specified Internet-based management point to obtain a list of management points. When the client


has a list of management points for its assigned site, it then selects one to connect to:When the client is on the intranet and it has a valid PKI certificate that it can use, the client chooses HTTPS management points before HTTP managementpoints. It then locates the closest management point, based on its forest membership.When the client is on the Internet, it non-deterministically chooses one of the Internet-based management points.

Personal comment:From my point of view, the correct answer would have been:

Configure the existing management point to use HTTPS or HTTP . Configure the Research Department client computers to use PKI certificates ; considering the fact that the client chooses HTTPS management points beforeHTTP management points, that would have ensured the requirements.

However, if there is a dedicated Management Point for the Research Department, that guarantees the requirements and makes the above answer the only correctone.

efore System Center Configuration Manager 2012, Configuration Manager 2007 had concepts called native mode and mixed mode: The philosophy behind nativemode was to secure the site server and all its site systems, in addition to securing all site-to-site communication. This involved configuring a site signing certificateon all installed sites, plus there was an added restriction that a native mode site must always report to a native mode site.

During the planning phase for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, we listened to customer feedback and revisited this native and mixed mode model, anddebated our previous concept of securing the site. The result was client computer communication.

Key concepts for client computer communication:Client computer communication is about securing end points. The two end points in this case are the client and the site system roles that the client talks to.A client can communicate by using either the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. HTTPS requires the client and site system roles to be configured with valid PKIcertificates for mutual authentication.Intelligent client behavior: This enables the client to select the most secure communication option available:

1. If the client is configured with a valid PKI certificate and there are HTTPS site system roles available, the client uses HTTPS.2. If the client is configured with a valid PKI certificate and there are NO HTTPS site system roles available and the client is configured to use HTTP, theclient uses HTTP to communicate with site system roles.

You need to receive an email message every day that lists all n on-compliant clients .

What should you do?

A. Create an alert subscription.B. Configure a Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) report.C. Configure an in-console alert.D. Create a ConfigMgr query.



Answer : Configure a Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) report.

Personal comment:My first option was "Create an alert subscription.".However, the question says that you need to receive an email "every day ", not instantly. You might call it a daily digest.When you set up an alert subscription, you receive an email alert instantly, whenever that alert happens. So this might not be the answer that this question islooking for.I've noticed that this test emphasises somewhat on the "SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio" and the "Reports Builder".

You create a report named Report1 . Report1 is used by multiple users . Users report that it takes too long to load Report1.

You need to reduce the amount of time it takes to load Report1 .

What should you do?

A. Enable caching for the report.B. Decrease the Size of the ReportServer database.C. Decrease the session timeout value for the Reports website.D. Increase the size of the ReportServerTempDB database.


Explanation/Reference:Answer : Enable caching for the report.


Explanation :http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb522786.aspxPerformance, Snapshots, Caching (Reporting Services)

Report server performance is affected by a combination of factors that include hardware, number of concurrent users accessing reports, the amount of data in areport, and output format. To understand the performance factors that are specific to your installation and which remedies will produce the results you want, you willneed to get baseline data and run tests.

General principles to consider include the following:Report processing and rendering are memory intensive operations. When possible, choose a computer that has a lot of memory.Hosting the report server and the report server database on separate computers tends to provide better performance than hosting both on a single high-endcomputer.If all reports are processing slowly, consider a scale-out deployment where multiple report server instances support a single report server database. For bestresults, use load balancing software to distribute requests evenly across the deployment.If a single report is processing slowly, tune report dataset queries if the report must run on demand. You might also consider using shared datasets that you cancache, caching the report, or running the report as a snapshot.If all reports process slowly in a specific format (for example, while rendering to PDF), consider file share delivery, adding more memory, or choosing a differentformat.To find out how long it takes to process a report and other usage metrics, review the report server execution log.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155927.aspxCaching Reports (SSRS)

A report server can cache a copy of a processed report and return that copy when a user opens the report. To a user, the only evidence available to indicate thereport is a cached copy is the date and time that the report ran. If the date or time is not current and the report is not a snapshot, the report was retrieved fromcache.

Caching can shorten the time required to retrieve a report if the report is large or accessed frequently. If the server is rebooted, all cached instances are reinstatedwhen the Report Server Web service comes back online.

Caching is a performance-enhancement technique. The contents of the cache are volatile and can change as reports are added, replaced, or removed.

Explanation :http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682139.aspxIntroduction to Compliance Settings in Configuration Manager

Compliance settings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager provides a unified interface and user experience that lets you manage the configuration andcompliance of servers, laptops, desktop computers, and mobile devices in your organization. Compliance settings contains tools to help you assess the complianceof users and client devices for many configurations, such as whether the correct Windows operating system versions are installed and configured appropriately,whether all required applications are installed and configured correctly, whether optional applications are configured appropriately, and whether prohibitedapplications are installed. Additionally, you can check for compliance with software updates, security settings, and mobile devices. Configuration item settings of thetype Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), registry, script, and all mobile device settings in Configuration Manager let you automatically remediatenoncompliant settings when they are found.

Compliance is evaluated by defining a configuration baseline that contains the configuration items that you want to evaluate and settings and rules that describethe level of compliance you must have. You can import this configuration data from the web in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager Configuration Packsas best practices that are defined by Microsoft and other vendors, in Configuration Manager, and that you then import into Configuration Manager. Or, anadministrative user can create new configuration items and configuration baselines.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712331.aspxHow to Create Windows Configuration Items for Compliance Settings in Configuration Manager

Create configuration items in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager to define configurations that you want to manage and assess for compliance on devices.There are different types of configuration items:

Application configuration itemUsed to determine compliance for an application. This can include whether the application is installed and details about its configuration.

Operating system configuration item Used to determine compliance for settings that relate to the operating system and its configuration.

Further information 3:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682191.aspxDetermine the Client Installation Method to Use for Windows Computers in Configuration Manager

The following table outlines the advantages and disadvantages of each client installation method to help you determine which will work best in your organization:Client push installation

Can be used to install the client on a single computer, a collection of computers, or to the results from a query.Can be used to automatically install the client on all discovered computers.Automatically uses client installation properties defined on the Client tab in the Client Push Installation Properties dialog box.


Can cause high network traffic when pushing to large collections.Can only be used on computers that have been discovered by System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.Cannot be used to install clients in a workgroup.A client push installation account must be specified that has administrative rights to the intended client computer.Windows Firewall must be configured on client computers with exceptions so that client push installation can be completed.You cannot cancel client push installation. When you use this client installation method for a site, Configuration Manager tries to install the client on alldiscovered resources and retries any failures for up to 7 days.

Software update point-based installationCan use your existing software updates infrastructure to manage the client software.Can automatically install the client software on new computers if Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and Group Policy settings in Active DirectoryDomain Services are configured correctly.Does not require computers to be discovered before the client can be installed.Computers can read client installation properties that have been published to Active Directory Domain Services.Will reinstall the client software if it is removed.Does not require you to configure and maintain an installation account for the intended client computer.

Requires a functioning software updates infrastructure as a prerequisite.Must use the same server for client installation and software updates, and this server must reside in a primary site.To install new clients, you must configure an Group Policy Object (GDO) in Active Directory Domain Services with the client's active software update pointand port.If the Active Directory schema is not extended for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, you must use Group Policy settings to provision computerswith client installation properties.

Group Policy installationDoes not require computers to be discovered before the client can be installed.Can be used for new client installations or for upgrades.Computers can read client installation properties that have been published to Active Directory Domain Services.Does not require you to configure and maintain an installation account for the intended client computer.

Can cause high network traffic if a large number of clients are being installed.If the Active Directory schema is not extended for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, you must use Group Policy settings to add client installationproperties to computers in your site.

Logon script installationDoes not require computers to be discovered before the client can be installed.Supports using command-line properties for CCMSetup.

Can cause high network traffic if a large number of clients are being installed over a short time period.Can take a long time to install on all client computers if users do not frequently log on to the network.


Manual installationDoes not require computers to be discovered before the client can be installed.Can be useful for testing purposes.Supports using command-line properties for CCMSetup.

No automation, therefore time consuming.

Explanation :http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712688.aspxPlanning for Client Settings in Configuration Manager

Use client settings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager to configure user and device settings for the hierarchy. Client settings include configurationoptions such as the hardware inventory and schedule, and the polling schedule for client policy.

All Configuration Manager clients in the hierarchy use the Default Client Settings that are automatically created when you install Configuration Manager. However, you can modify the default client settings and you can create custom client settings to override the default client settings for specific users or devices.

When you create a set of custom client settings, you must assign it to one or more collections for the settings to be applied to the collection members. If you apply multiple sets of custom client settings to the same user or device, you can control the order in which these settings are applied according to the order that youspecify. Custom device or user settings with an Order value of 1 are always processed last and will override any other configurations. The Default Client Settingshas a permanent order of 10,000, which ensures it is always applied before any custom settings are applied. When there is a conflict of settings, the client settingthat was applied last (with the lower order value) overrides any previous settings. You can view the resultant client settings for a user or a device by using theSystem Center 2012 Configuration Manager reports.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682067.aspxAbout Client Settings in Configuration Manager


All client settings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager are managed in the Configuration Manager console from the Client Settings node in theAdministration workspace. A set of default settings is supplied with Configuration Manager. When you modify the default client settings, these settings are applied toall clients in the hierarchy. You can also configure custom client settings, which override the default client settings when you assign these to collections.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682109.aspxHow to Configure Client Settings in Configuration Manager

You manage all client settings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager from the Client Settings node in the Administration workspace of the ConfigurationManager console. Modify the default settings when you want to configure settings for all users and devices in the hierarchy that do not have any custom settingsapplied. If you want to apply different settings to just some users or devices, create custom settings and deploy these to collections.

Note:You can also use configuration items to manage clients to assess, track, and remediate the configuration compliance of devices.

-Create a new set of custom client agent settings for the marketing department and include the custom registry information.


- Edit ClientSettings2 and include the custom registry information. <--- probably not

Because editing isn't that easy. It is common sense, that you just add another client setting and deploy it to the collection.Why? All settings can be separately deleted and especially named. Easier to handle.

How to Manage User Device Affinity in Configuration Manager

User device affinity in Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager is a method of associating a user with one or more specified devices. User deviceaffinity can eliminate the need to know the names of a user’s devices in order to deploy an application to that user. Instead of deploying the application to all of theuser’s devices, you deploy the application to the user. Then, user device affinity automatically ensures that the application install on all devices that are associatedwith that user.

You can define primary devices. These are typically the devices that users use on a daily basis to perform their work. When you create an affinity between a userand a device, you gain more software deployment options. For example, if a user requires Microsoft Office Visio, you can install it on the user’s primary device byusing a Windows Installer deployment. However, on a device that is not a primary device, you might deploy Microsoft Office Visio as a virtual application. You canalso use user device affinity to predeploy software on a user’s device when the user is not logged in. Then, when the user logs on, the application is alreadyinstalled and ready to run.
