Starting in version 1806, when you update the site, a Kerberos check for client push is enabled. The option to Allow connection fallback to NTLM is enabled by default, which is consistent with previous behavior. If the site can't authenticate the client by using Kerberos, it retries the connection by using NTLM. The recommended configuration for improved security is to disable this setting, which requires Kerberos without NTLM fallback.
This command overrides the automatic configuration that Active Directory Domain Services provides. It doesn't require that you include the client's network location in a boundary group that's configured for client assignment. Instead, the installation specifies these settings:
Include the Client.msi property CCMHOSTNAME= when you install the client, by using manual installation or client push, for example. When you use this method, directly assign the client to the site. You can't use automatic site assignment. See the How to install Configuration Manager clients manually section, which provides an example of this configuration method.
To assign the internet-based management point after you install the client, use one of these procedures. The first requires manual configuration and is appropriate for a few clients. The second is more appropriate for configuring many clients.
Ok guys and gals during OSD, every thing goes good until it gets to the point there it install the Client from what i can tell it install fine, however the client takes forever to finish Initializing, Taking a peak in the logs it appears it waits for the ccmexec to start. Once it finial does finish hours later the client and software center is on the computer.
Looking at one of our installed Windows 10 devices I see that the two "software update..." actions are missing in the configuration manager client.
Uninstalled the CM client on a machine and then installed it again and then I have all the actions and it works as it should.
The size of the cache on disk (CCMCache) for a configuration manager client may exceed what is defined in the Administrator Console if packages 4 GB or larger are distributed. For example, if the client cache is left at the default value of 5 GB, a client could have 6 GB of data that is stored on the disk.
ok - So you will need to goto Software Library > Packages > Create new package from Definition > Select the Config manager package definition > Select "Always obtain source files from source folder" > \\server\sms_xxx\client.
Hello Andre,
When the configuration manager client has been installed on the client computer you can manage these devices from the configuration manager console, and perform operations such as reporting hardware and software inventory information, installing software, and configuring settings required for compliance.
We use BigFix/IEM extensively. For us, client health issues are extremely rare and the majority of issues are during initial installation, not once installed and working. We use BigFix/IEM for not just patching, but configuration & software deployment. We image machines using a custom USB key that installs Windows + Drivers + Patches, joins to the domain (optional), and installs the BigFix/IEM client. We then deploy all software through BigFix/IEM, which can be as much as 100gb or more.
Step 1: Create a configuration item that has a registry value and a compliance rule.
Compliance rules specify the conditions that define the compliance of a configuration item. Before a setting can be evaluated for compliance, it must have at least one compliance rule.
Next step: Create configuration baselines
Step 2: Create a configuration baseline.
Configuration baselines in System Center Configuration Manager contain predefined configuration items and optionally, other configuration baselines.
Step 3: Deploy a configuration baseline to a collection.
After a configuration baseline is created, you can deploy it to a collection so that devices in that collection download the configuration baseline and assess their compliance with it.

Everything starts with boundaries and if you know me, I have never been a fan of boundaries for content location (p2p FTW!). The only boundaries that I configure for content location is when I need to protect a DP in a build center where I do not want other clients outside of the build center leaching off the build center DP. Other than that, who has time to manage boundaries that are constantly changing? Plus, in my environment I could not even tell you how many subnets we have let alone pretend to get it right.
The Computer Agent settings allow you to define general settings for communication between server and client. These include specifying the notification interval for deployments, the default Application Catalog website point, Organization name that will be displayed in software center, displaying notifications for new deployments and more.
If you are using Configuration Manager to deploy Software Updates, then you must configure the client settings for Software Updates. These setting allows us to specify on how the clients handle the software updates deployed through configuration manager. You can set the software update scan schedule and also schedule the deployment re-evaluation.
