SCCM Unknown computer not able to see Task Sequences after installing Current Branch 1702

This issue was identified as a random system taking the GUID of the 'x64 Unknown Computer (x64 Unknown Computer)' record. As a result it was now a known GUID; as we were only deploying Task Sequences to the Unknown collection none were made available. 'x64 Unknown Computer (x64 Unknown Computer)' record 'x86 Unknown Computer (x86 Unknown Computer)' record To get the GUID of your unknown systems open SQL management studio and run the following command: --Sql Command to list the name and GUID for UnknownSystems record data select ItemKey, Name0,SMS_Unique_Identifier0 from UnknownSystem_DISC Using the returned GUID (SMS_Unique_Identifier0) we can find the hostname that has been assigned the 'x64 Unknown Computer (x64 Unknown Computer)' GUID by running the query below. --x64 Unknown Computers select Name0,SMS_Unique_Identifier0,Decommissioned0 from Sys...

By default SCCM will use the drive in which the Configuration Manager is installed (i.e. Drive E) even if it is running low on diskspace.  But assuming you have a new drive F: with plenty of space the procedure below will details how to change this. Assuming your site code is P01 Launch wbemtest.exe and connect to:  root\sms\site_P01 Click Query and enter: SELECT * FROM SMS_SCI_Component WHERE SiteCode=’P01’ AND ItemName LIKE ‘SMS_OFFLINE_SERVICING_MANAGER%’ Double click the  query result Double click Props (Scroll down second from bottom) Click View Embedded There will be four entries listed. Through a process of trial and error double click each one looking for PropertyName...
