How to Extend Hardware Inventory in Configuration Manager
System Center 2012 Configuration Manager hardware inventory reads information about devices by using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). WMI is the Microsoft implementation of web-based Enterprise Management (WBEM), which is an industry standard for accessing management information in an enterprise environment.
In previous versions of Configuration Manager, you could extend hardware inventory by modifying the file sms_def.mof on the site server.
In System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, you no longer edit the sms_def.mof file as you did in Configuration Manager 2007. Instead, you can enable and disable WMI classes, and add new classes to collect by hardware inventory by using client settings. Configuration Manager provides the following methods to extend hardware inventory:
Enable or disable existing inventory classes – You can enable or disable the default inventory classes used by Configuration Manager or you can create custom client settings that allow you to collect different hardware inventory classes from specified collections of clients.
Add a new inventory class – You can add a new inventory class from the WMI namespace of another device.
Import and export hardware inventory classes – You can import and export Managed Object Format (MOF) files that contain inventory classes from the Configuration Manager console.
Create NOIDMIF Files – Use NOIDMIF files to collect information about client devices that cannot be inventoried by Configuration Manager.
Create IDMIF Files – Use IDMIF files to collect information about assets in your organization that are not associated with a Configuration Manager client, for example, projectors, photocopiers and network printers.
QUESTION 72
Your network contains a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager environment.
The environment contains a single primary site.
The primary site has a distribution point and a management point.
You need to recommend a communication solution that meets the following requirements:
– Communication between the client computers in the research department and the management point must use HTTPS.
– Communication between all of the other client computers and the management point must be able to use HTTP.
– Minimize the number of site systems.
What should you do?
A. Configure the existing management point to use HTTPS.
Configure the research department computers always to use HTTPS.
B. Install a new management point and configure the management point always to use HTTPS.
Configure the research department computers always to use HTTPS.
C. Create a new primary child site and configure the site to use native mode.
Assign all of the research department computers to the new site.
D. Install a new management point and configure Windows Firewall to block inbound TCP port 80.
Configure the research department computers always to use HTTPS.
Answer: B
Explanation:
You can have one management point that accepts HTTPS client communication and another management point that accepts HTTP client communication.
Note:
To communicate with a site system role, the client must first locate a site system support the protocol (HTTPS or HTTP) that the client can use. By default, clients use the most secure method available to them. Using HTTPS before it communicates with a site system role that uses HTTP.
When you deploy a site system role includemanagement points, anApplication Catalog website point, astate migration point, or distribution points, you must specify whether clients connect to the site system by using HTTP or HTTPS. If you use HTTP, you must also consider signing and encryption choices.
In a single site, you can have one management point that accepts HTTPS client communication and another management point that accepts HTTP client communication.
You can use one site to manage clients across different network locations that use different communication protocols and security settings.
uk.co.certification.simulator.questionpool.PList@395c82f9
Other client computers can be configured for Internet and intranet client management.
They can automatically switch between Internet-based client management and intranet client management when they detect a change of network. If these clients can find and connect to a management point that is configured for client connections on the intranet, they attempt to connect to an Internet-based management point.

QUESTION 73
You deploy Windows 7 by using Operating System Deployment (OSD).
The deployment task sequence contains steps to install software updates and applications.
The amount of time required to deploy the Windows 7 image has increased significantly during the last six months.
You need to recommend a solution to reduce the amount of time it takes to deploy the image. What should you recommend? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Create a new automatic deployment rule.
B. Synchronize software updates before deploying the image.
C. Upgrade the image from Windows 7 to Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
D. Add an additional Install Software Updates step to the deployment task sequence.
E. Use offline servicing for the image.
Answer: CE
Explanation:
E:
* Offline Servicing: This new capability lets you schedule ConfigMgr to apply updates to an OS image imported into ConfigMgr without actually deploying the image. This potentially removes the need to deploy updates during an image capture or deployment, greatly reducing the time and effort spent on them and ensuring that operating systems deployed by ConfigMgr are fully updated before brought online.
* Whether you use a Build and Capture task sequence to automatically build your images or manually build your images, a great new feature of ConfigMgr 2012 is the ability to install updates directly into an image contained in a WIM file. This functionality isn’t actually new as it has existed in the stand-alone DISM tool from the beginning, but incorporating it directly into the ConfigMgr console makes it more accessible, enables it to leverage the software updates functionality of ConfigMgr itself, and makes it schedulable.
QUESTION 74

The environment contains a primary site server named Server1 and a server named Server2 that runs Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2. Server2 contains the Configuration Manager database. Server2 fails.
You install SQL Server 2008 R2 on a new server.
You name the server Server3.
You need to restore the Configuration Manager database to Server3.
What should you do?
A. Register the Service Principal Name (SPN) for the SQL Server service account of Server3.
From Server1, run the Configuration Manager 2012 Setup Wizard.
B. From Server3, run Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, and then restore the backed up SQL Server database and log files.
C. From Server3, run Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, and then attach the backed up SQL Server database and log files.
D. Register the Service Principal Name (SPN) for the SQL Server service account of Server3.
From Server1, run the Site Repair Wizard.
Answer: A

Backup and Recovery in Configuration Manager
Recover a Configuration Manager Site
A Configuration Manager site recovery is required whenever a Configuration Manager site fails or data loss occurs in the site database. Repairing and resynchronizing data are the core tasks of a site recovery and are required to prevent interruption of operations. Site recovery is started by running the Configuration Manager Setup Wizard from installation media or by configuring the unattended installation script and then using the Setup command /script option. Your recovery options vary depending on whether you have a backup of the Configuration Manager site database.
Site Database Recovery Options
When you run Setup, you have the following recovery options for the site database:
* Recover the site database using a backup set: Use this option when you have a backup of the Configuration Manager site database that was created as part of the Backup Site Server maintenance task run on the site before the site database failure. When you have a hierarchy, the changes that were made to the site database after the last site database backup are retrieved from the central administration site for a primary site, or from a reference primary site for a central administration site. When you recover the site database for a stand-alone primary site, you lose site changes after the last backup.
When you recover the site database for a site in a hierarchy, the recovery behavior is different for a central administration site and primary site, and when the last backup is inside or outside of the SQL Server change tracking retention period.
Further information:
SCCM 2007 needed you to run Site Repair Wizard.

How to Manage User Device Affinity in Configuration Manager
User device affinity in Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager is a method of associating a user with one or more specified devices. User device affinity can eliminate the need to know the names of a user’s devices in order to deploy an application to that user. Instead of deploying the application to all of the user’s devices, you deploy the application to the user. Then, user device affinity automatically ensures that the application install on all devices that are associated with that user.
You can define primary devices. These are typically the devices that users use on a daily basis to perform their work. When you create an affinity between a user and a device, you gain more software deployment options. For example, if a user requires Microsoft Office Visio, you can install it on the user’s primary device by using a Windows Installer deployment. However, on a device that is not a primary device, you might deploy Microsoft Office Visio as a virtual application. You can also use user device affinity to predeploy software on a user’s device when the user is not logged in. Then, when the user logs on, the application is already installed and ready to run.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682177.aspx
Introduction to Collections in Configuration Manager
Collections in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager represent logical groupings of resources, such as users and devices. You can use collections to help you perform many tasks, such as managing applications, deploying compliance settings, or installing software updates. You can also use collections to manage groups of client settings.
..
Query Rule
Query rules dynamically update the membership of a collection based on a query that Configuration Manager runs on a schedule. For example, you can create a collection of users who are a member of the Human Resources organizational unit in Active Directory Domain Services. Unlike direct rule collections, this collection membership automatically updates when you add or remove new users to the Human Resources organizational unit.

Planning for Client Settings in Configuration Manager
Use client settings in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager to configure user and device settings for the hierarchy. Client settings include configuration options such as the hardware inventory and schedule, and the polling schedule for client policy.
All Configuration Manager clients in the hierarchy use the Default Client Settings that are automatically created when you install Configuration Manager. However, you can modify the default client settings and you can create custom client settings to override the default client settings for specific users or devices.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682139.aspx
Introduction to Compliance Settings in Configuration Manager
Compliance is evaluated by defining a configuration baseline that contains the configuration items that you want to evaluate and settings and rules that describe the level of compliance you must have.

Planning a Device Driver Strategy in Configuration Manager
You can add Windows device drivers that have been imported into the driver catalog to boot images. Use the following guidelines when you add device drivers to a boot image:
* Add only mass storage and network adapter device drivers to boot images because other types of drivers are not generally required. Drivers that are not required increase the size of the boot image unnecessarily.
* Add only device drivers for Windows 7 to a boot image because the required version of Windows PE is based on Windows 7.
* Ensure that you use the correct device driver for the architecture of the boot image. Do not add an x86 device driver to an x64 boot image.

Introduction to Collections in Configuration Manager
Collections in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager represent logical groupings of resources, such as users and devices.
You can use collections to help you perform many tasks, such as managing applications, deploying compliance settings, or installing software updates. You can also use collections to manage groups of client settings.
Additionally, System Center 2012 Configuration Manager uses collections with role-based administration to specify the collections that an administrative user can access.
Collection Rules
Direct Rule
Query Rule
Query rules dynamically update the membership of a collection based on a query that Configuration Manager runs on a schedule.
Unlike direct rule collections, this collection membership automatically updates when you add or remove new users to the Human Resources organizational unit.
Include Collections Rule
The include collections rule lets you include the members of another collection in a Configuration Manager collection. Configuration Manager updates the membership of the current collection on a schedule if the membership of the included collection changes.
Exclude Collections Rule
The exclude collections rule lets you exclude the members of another collection from a Configuration Manager collection. Configuration Manager updates the membership of the current collection on a schedule if the membership of the excluded collection changes.
Note: If a collection includes both include collection and exclude collection rules and there is a conflict, the exclude rule takes priority over the include rule.
Default Collections in Configuration Manager
All User Groups

C. The Delete Obsolete Client Discovery Data maintenance task is disabled.
D. The Active Directory sites that are members of boundary groups are modified.
E. Microsoft SQL Server replication to the management points stopped.
Answer: BD
Explanation:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712308.aspx#BKMK_HeartbeatDisc
Planning for Discovery in Configuration Manager – About Heartbeat Discovery
Heartbeat Discovery differs from other Configuration Manager discovery methods. It is enabled by default and runs on each computer client to create a discovery data record (DDR).
Heartbeat Discovery runs either on a schedule configured for all clients in the hierarchy, or if manually invoked, on a specific client by running the Discovery Data Collection Cycle on the Action tab in a client’s Configuration Manager program. When Heartbeat Discovery runs, it creates a discovery data record (DDR) that contains the client’s current information including network location, NetBIOS name, and operational status details. It is a small file, about 1KB, which is copied to a management point, and then processed by a primary site. The submission of a Heartbeat Discovery DDR can maintain an active client’s record in the database, and also force discovery of an active client that might have been removed from the database, or that has been manually installed and not discovered by another discovery method.
The default schedule for Heartbeat Discovery is set to every 7 days. If you change the heartbeat discovery interval, ensure that it runs more frequently than the site maintenance task Delete Aged Discovery Data, which deletes inactive client records from the site database. You can configure the Delete Aged Discovery Data task only for primary sites.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712679.aspx
Planning for Boundaries and Boundary Groups in Configuration Manager
In System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, a boundary is a network location on the intranet that can contain one or more devices that you want to manage. Boundaries can be an IP subnet, Active Directory site name, IPv6 Prefix, or an IP address range, and the hierarchy can include any combination of these boundary types. To use a boundary, you must add the boundary to one or more boundary groups. Boundary groups are collections of boundaries. By using boundary groups, clients on the intranet can find an assigned site and locate content when they have to install software, such as applications, software updates, and operating system images.
When clients are on the Internet, or they are configured as Internet-only clients, they do not use boundary information. These clients cannot use automatic site assignment and always download content from any distribution point in their assigned site when the distribution point is configured to allow client connections from the Internet.
Site Assignment
You can configure each boundary group with an assigned site for clients. Clients join the assigned site of a boundary group that contains the client’s current network location. When a boundary is added to multiple boundary groups that have different assigned sites, clients will nondeterministically select one of the sites. System Center 2012 Configuration Manager does not support this overlapping boundary configuration for site assignment.
If you make a change to the site assignment configuration of a boundary group, only new site assignment actions are affected. Clients that have previously been assigned to a site, do not re-evaluate their site assignment based on changes to the configuration of a boundary group.

Delete Obsolete Client Discovery Data Task Overview
The Delete Obsolete Client Discovery Data task deletes obsolete client records from the Configuration Manager 2007 site database. A record that is marked obsolete typically was superseded by a newer record for the same client. The newer record becomes the client’s current record, and the older record becomes obsolete.
When you enable this task, you should configure the schedule to run at an interval greater than the heartbeat discovery schedule. This allows clients to send Discovery Data Records (DDRs) so that the obsolete bit is set correctly.

Introduction to Client Deployment in Configuration Manager – Monitoring the Status of Client Computers in Configuration Manager
Use the Client Status node in the Monitoring workspace of the Configuration Manager console to monitor the health and activity of client computers in your hierarchy.
Configuration Manager uses the following two methods to evaluate the overall status of client computers.
Client Activity: You can configure thresholds to determine whether a client is active, for example:
Whether the client requested policy during the last seven days.
Whether Heartbeat Discovery found the client during the last seven days.
Whether the client sent hardware inventory during the last seven days.
When all these thresholds are exceeded, the client is determined to be inactive.
Client Check: A client evaluation engine is installed with the Configuration Manager client, which periodically evaluates the health of the Configuration Manager client and its dependencies. This engine can check or remediate some problems with the Configuration Manager client.
Client status uses the monitoring and reporting capabilities of Configuration Manager to provide information in the Configuration Manager console about the health and activity of the client.
You can configure alerts to notify you when clients check results or client activity drops below a specified percentage of clients in a collection or when remediation fails on a specified percentage of clients.
