More to follow.. Leave feedback on your successes


Resolution: In my case I was using PXE Everywhere v2.2 which will support laptops with UEFI as well as Legacy boot options. However, tablets like the Venue 11 Pro are native UEFI and this is currently not supported! I big surprise considering the demands on Enterprise IT to deploy Windows 8.1 as just another OS (JAOS we'll see if it catches on).  1e reported that in v2.3 due later this year (todays date: 22/09/2014) UEFI native will be fully supported.

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

Soon after installing SCCM CB 1702 we were unable to see Task Sequences deployed to the unknown collection. 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...

Windows 7 Offline files will not go Online when connected to network

Issue Several laptop users move between networks, domain, home, etc and when they attempt to access DFS shares explorer status is working offline.  The issue only resolves it self after a reboot. Connecting directly to the share works and i am able to ping network resources.  This behavior occurs for VPN users as well. Possible Causes "slow-link mode". In win7 (with default settings) a client will enter slow-link mode if the latency to the server is above 80ms. In slow-link mode all writes are made to the local cache and a background sync only happens every 6 hours.  Depending on your connection the default slow link detection speed is 64,000 bps On client computers running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, a shared folder automatically transitions to the slow-link mode if the round-trip latency of the network is greater than 80 milliseconds, or as configured by the "Configure slow-link mode" policy. After transitioning a folder to the slow-link mode, Offline Fil...
