I had an issue within my lab with deploying Windows 8.1 drivers to Windows 10 with SCCM 2012 R2 SP1. It isn’t possible to make all Windows 8.1 drivers compatible with Windows 10 within the SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 console with just one click. Because I was running within a lab environment and I only had 2 driver packages for Windows 8.1 x64, I was able to make the drivers available for deployment to all platforms.

I was deploying Windows 10 with SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 and the task sequence failed after “Installing device drivers” with error code 0x80070032 (or 80070032). The “Auto Apply Drivers” task works fine, but doesn’t install a lot of drivers. The smsts.log file: Dism failed with return code 50 Failed to add driver to driver store. Code 0x80070032 Failed to provision driver. Code 0x80070032 Exiting with return code 0x80070032 Solution:

I was doing a migration project from System Center - Operations Manager 2007 to System Center - Operations Manager 2012 R2. Some computers had troubles with the upgrade of the agent. I first tried to do a client push deployment. 80 % of the installations succeeded, but I had a couple of computers with failed installations/upgrades. 1. Start the agent installation manually on the failed computer. Run the MOMAgent.msi installer. 2.

I had a small issue with my Remote Desktop Services Lab environment. I wanted to add a by my PKI infrastructure signed certificate to the Remote Desktop Roles. I created a certificate template like in this post. When I was importing the certificates into the wizard, the certificate looks fine because the state after selecting the certificate says “Success”. When you reopen the screen afterwards, it was like no certificate has been selected.

I was looking for a way to deploy and automatically domain join a VM in Azure. The solution was quite simple: Azure Automation. I found the blog post of DexterPOSH very useful, but the script doesn’t work for me. Follow the steps on his blog and use this script below. I’ll update this post if I find some improvements. Don’t forget to update the domain in the Add-Computer part. To-Do list: - Custom static IP as variable.
