SCCM/MECM Stuck at "SQL Server service running account" prereq check
The issue: I'm not getting through the Prerequisite checks for MECM. The biggest struggle is the SQL check stating: SQL Server service running account "The logon account for the SQL Server service cannot be a local user account, NT SERVICE\<sql service name> or LOCAL SERVICE. You must configure the SQL Server service to use a valid domain account, NETWORK SERVICE, or LOCAL SYSTEM." Below a screenshot: The Configuration: This is a brand new CM setup (there was no CM in the past), so I've chosen to Install the primary site as a stand-alone site. All CM Roles on a single server named CM01 Database is a Named instance in our SQL server failover cluster (running with separate Domain accounts for the DBE and SSA) My Toughts: It seems that de CM Setup wizard is trying to perform it's prereq checks assuming that SQL is locally installed, and therefore it fails on this prereq check. What I've already tried/checked: - Of course I've searched the web for solution, and as stated above this has nothing to do with the SQL server instance running with local or system credentials - Double checked if SQL is running with a Static port, and made sure SQL has the right collation - No ports are blocking by Windows Firewall (on CM01 and the SQL server) - No ports are blocked by our network firewall (Checkpoint) - Made sure port TCP:1433, 4022, 1434 and UDP:1434 are open and reachable between CM01 and SQL and vice versa. I know that it's recommended to run the SQL DB on the CM server itself for performance reasons, but in this particular case it's needed to have it installed on the SQL Server Failover cluster (a company compliancy thing) What could be the cause of this issue? I'm really stuck on this one.

Install SCCM trial offline environment
Hello, actually I'm trying to install a SCCM 2103 trial under Hyper-V containing two Windows Server 2019 and one Windows 10 client. All are connected via a private switch so they don't have internet access. Installation, configuration and communication works fine. But when I try to install the SCCM-Client on the window 10 VM via Client Push installation it won't work. The ccmexec.exe starts but wont Install the client. Logfile always says: BG error context is 2 A recoverable error has occurred. A retry attempt will be made. Error 0x80200010 The BITS job always falls to the state 'transient error' and I can't fix that. Network configuration is completely fine and everything else works well. As soon as I change the Switch to a external switch, sccm client installation works perfectly fine. But as long as it is a private switch, it won't work. Does anybody know why it is like this? Did I forget some configuration of my window 10 VM?

Hardware Inventory after staging not immediately triggered
Dear Community I am struggling with SCCM Agent 'Hardware Inventory' not (immediately) running after a client is staged. When reading through the docs and forum a lot of information is spread that this is/should be triggered immediately after a client is successfully staged/deployed. I looked at the local logs (InventoryAgent.log) on multiple clients and i see that Hardware Inventory is often not happening for hours. As most collections are based on queries and not direct assignments you will have to wait for Compliance Settings, Apps and so on until the Hardware Inventory finally happens. Triggering it by hand works but that is not a solution. Has anyone an exact explanation how this works or should work or how i can troubleshoot and fix this behaviour? Many thanks Simon

Microsoft Connected Cache over VPN
Does Delivery Optimization still leverage the Microsoft Connected Cache (MECM Distribution Points) for external clients that have VPN enabled? We obviously don't want Connected Cache flowing over VPN.

OSD Tasksequence vs. update installation
Hi Everybody, In my OSD Task Sequences for deployment of Win 10 20H2 I have steps for the installation of software updates Software Updates are deployed to the collection "All Unknown Computers" The latest cumulative update plus a few other updates for Windows 10 20H2, dotnet fx and others are containded in the Software Update Group that is deployed to "All Unknown Computers" During the mentioned TS steps all updates except the CU for Windows 10 are properly installed. The CU is completely ignored Any hints? This behaviour is not only in connection with the latest CU, I observe it for several months now. Is it a known issue or "by design"? Best Sven
