For me this worked just fine for few (4) test workstations... still waiting for one test deployment to complete... and many workstations to go. I would like to be in control of this deployment. I want to tell to SEPM when to start upgrade for certain group of computers. I don't want to give some timeframe and wait that upgrade happens. Is there any way to force upgrade to happen now, not within hour or so?

Could it be done in this way... Disable "Upgrade schedule" and set "Distribute upgrades over: 0 days, 0 hours"? Does anyone have better idea?

This works fine for me on 30 clients.

Here is some tricks.
1) After migrating the server. Reboot it. (this forces the clients to reconnect)
2) Force the client to update it's policy. (forces a reconnect)
3) Append a notification message, because I think by default it's silent.
4) Wait. It took ~24 hours for all my clients to upgrade. I think this is why they give you the option of updating over night.
5) Just be patient.

Ok, lets suppose that I have succesfully upgraded few clients. During the upgrade I had those "test clients" in own group on SEPM. Now when I am satisfied with the upgrade results, I move these "test clients" to a group where I have other workstations which needs to be upgraded. What happens if I create an upgrade task for this group which contains few of these clients which are alredy upgraded? Is there enough intelligence in the SEPM that it won't try to upgrade already upgraded clients?

Hi!

I've run into the same problem. I got the full.zip in the SEP installation folder on the workstation after pressing the "Download"-button that appeared on the client bu the setup is not starting. I've checked the Event Viewer on the client but nothing is shown there. The Upgrade Schedule is set to 00:00-23:00 just to make sure and the distr over 0hrs 0 min.

Any ideas?

Re-installing over GP or other AD/network-based systems is not possible as we are an ISP not a corporate network!

Best regards and thank you all in advance!

Hi !
We have the same problem here.
We have installed SEPM MR1 and we need to upgrade about 80 PC.
I did a group update but nothing happens.
When we launch the package setup, nothing happens too.

hello all,

i used to get this problem, and tech support recommand me to change that :

" -Change the default user for the pool appllication in IIS from "Network service" to "IWAM_USER""

and all my users suddenly get updated ( iss and sep restart on the server) to MR1!


maybe it could help you !

regards

open iis manager.

expand your computer,

go to "application pool" folder.
 ( you shoud see "defautlAppPool and some other stuff)
then right clic, on properties.
last tab  : identity

clic on configurable and then choose the user (IWAM_...)

appy , stop/start IIS
