Updated 7/3/2013 - see workaround #1
We have confirmed an issue with Cumulative Update 2 (CU2) for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Service Pack 1 that affects new secondary site installations.
This issue does not affect upgrades of existing secondary sites, or any other aspects of the Configuration Manager hierarchy.
Problem Description and Symptoms
- You installed System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1.
- You applied the Cumulative Update 2 (KB2854009) in the hierarchy.
- You installed a new secondary site or tried to recover an old secondary site using the Installation Source Files option: “ Copy installation source files over the network from the parent site server ”.
The ConfigMgrSetup.log file will contain errors similar to the following after an installation attempt:
//
INFO: SQL Server Script: Creating object spupdatemessageactivity~
INFO: Configuring database replication tables..
*** [42000][50000][Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]Object 'PullDPResponse' does not exist : spConfigureReplication
ERROR: Failed to execute dbo.spConfigureReplication.
ERROR: Failed to configure SQL Server replication tables.
//
Workarounds
You can use either of the following workarounds to install a secondary site.
- Using the Create Secondary Site Wizard , change the Installation Source Files setting to another location, instead of the parent primary site.
- Create a shared folder with the System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1 CD and Redist folders. Download the prerequisite distributable files for the Configuration Manager installation and copy them to <SP1CDShare> SMSSETUPRedist . (update 7/3/2013: Copy sqlncli.msi from redist folder to smssetupbinx64) For additional instructions see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712320.aspx#BKMK_InstallSecondarySite .
- Run the Create Secondary Site Wizard to install a secondary site.
-
On the page
Installation Source Files,
choose
“Use the source files at the following network location”
, and specify the CD share folder.
Or
- Replace the ReplicationConfiguration.xml file on the primary site with the original one from the SP1 CD.
- Find ReplicationConfiguration.xml on the SP1 CD, and overwrite the file on your primary site (<SMSROOT>binx64) with the version from the SP1 CD. WARNING: DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE as editing will change the timestamp and prevent future servicing updates to the file.
- Restart the SMS_EXECUTIVE service.
You should be able to deploy the secondary site on a clean machine now.
If the secondary site installation has failed, you will need to manually clean up the following before you attempt to reinstall. To do this:
- Delete the SMS registry key on the secondary site machine - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftSMS
- Delete the database created on the secondary site machine to ensure the data files are removed.
- (update 7/5/2013) If the database is a SQL Express version, uninstall the "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (64-bit)" from Add/Remove Programs (ARP).
Note: you still need to apply the Cumulative Update 2 on your secondary site after the installation.
We will update this blog entry with additional details when available. Thank you for your patience.
