SCCM uninstalled on clients in organization - windows

In my organization a project has begun to install SCCM on every computer. My job is to filter out computers which do not have SCCM installed on them (that part is done), find out why and try to install.
Unfortunately, I’m inexperienced with SCCM logs and find it hard to locate the problems (if there are any) and there is a huge number of devices I have to check all by myself and accessing each computer’s C$ will take years.
The OS of the problematic computers are Windows 10/7/XP/Server 2016.
Can anyone help me with these issues please?
Thanks in advance

The client install logs on the local machine are here C:\Windows\ccmsetup\Logs. You could script something to pull the logs and dump on a network share.
You can pull the CMTrace.exe from the server install directory to read the logs.
They are most likely failing for the same reason, I would start with looking at the firewall and make sure WinRM is enabled.
There are 3 methods to installing the agent GPO, Login Script, or from the console.

VM & MS access - ExportWithFormatting PDF not working while in background

I have a problem that i have a difficult time explaining, which makes any online search very hard. Here is my dilema.
I'm migrating a VM. The purpose of this machine is to compile send out daily/weekly/monthly reports. I know there are other ways (like Power BI) but this is the situation we are in right now. The older machine has win10 pro and office 365 installed while the new has win10 enterprise version and office 2016 installed. This machine runs 24/7 in the background running specific tasks (via system scheduler app) at given times, that is it's a Virtual machine and has done so without issues since it was created. The reason for the migration is because we need to domain change and bring the machine under a new corporate policy and we don't want to do this on a live server.
We've set it the VM's the same way, same programs and same settings. Everything seams to be running smooth expect for this one thing, and here is the problem i have a hard time to explain or figure out:
MS Access will update the tables and the computer will run the tasks as set but it will not export the data to pdf unless i have a remote desktop connection open. Will not export the pdf's otherwise. MS Access uses a autoexec macro where the pdf export is set with ExportWithFormatting. This works without issues on the old server.
We thought this to be a permission or user specific issue at first but even re-creating the tasks did not work and changing paths. Otherwise also i expect we would have problems with tables updating, specially since it works when you have an active remote desktop conn running.
I'm lost and therefore hoping this community will be able to help or guide me to a solution.
I believe that we found the reason for this. It was caused by windows easy print and the printer drivers of the machine. It worked for some reason differently between the servers. after reinstalling the printer drivers and a few restarts it started working. It exports now from access again.
This is at least solved.

The Go Server service on Local Computer started and then stopped

I am trying to install GoCD Server 19.1.0 64 bit on my Windows 10 64 bit machine. Installation went through without any issue, however, I am getting the following error on starting Go Server service.
I tried to run service under Local System Account as well as specific admin account but not luck so far.
I also tried setting NoInteractiveServices registry from 1 to 0 (at \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows) but still getting the same error.
Please let me know if any of you have faced this error and know the solution.
Services
The Go Server service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.
OK
Thanks in advance,

You should look at GoCD's Log files to find out what happened, and why GoCD stopped.
Thanks #moritz for the info. I did not find any files under logs folder as it was failing with Access Denied error while writing to logs files. Not sure what was the reason behind that but this is how I fixed it.
I re installed the Go Server, this time I have selected C:\Program Files (instead of default C:\Program Files (x86)) and selected Open Java instead of providing path of JRE installed locally.
This worked in my case, however, feel free to let me know if you see any problem in this approach.

Trying to create dev with SPEasySetUp and VMWare

I am trying to create a dev box for SharePoint 2010 Server utilizing the following:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cjohnson/archive/2010/10/28/announcing-sharepoint-easy-setup-for-developers.aspx
So first of all this is new to me. I understand that these are instructions are for dual boot in Windows Native, but I am more interested in using a VHD/image of the OS to run on VMWare.
I have tried creating an image of a running virtual machine with sysprep tool, but hit a dead end with capturing the image to a file that I can reference within the running machine to run the scripts against.
I took a look at Diskpart on TechNet, but as I am new to this, I am not sure this is what I want to do?
I tried installing to the local host (virtual machine that is running) and am getting an error there also; fails at Windows Identity Framework.
It is a clean install of Windows 7 (literally nothing else), and the UAC has been disabled.
Is there any insite, help, or advice anyone can provide me regarding this? I would really appreciate it as I have to get working on the development aspects of SP (workflows, web parts,etc), and need a dev env, and I can't seem to get anywhere with this.
Thanks

WinCvs Client setup

Dear all, I am using gcvs-1.11 version. My cvs server in RHEL ,i have some RHEL machines and some Windows Xp machines as client.RHEL cvs clients are working fine but from windows i couldn't able to access cvs server. In installed WinCvs 2.0.24 in windows. when i am trying to login from windows machine it doesn't respond for my request.I am getting
"Unable to initialize the CVS process: The system cannot find the file specified. The CVS used is : cvs.exe" as result. How to setup WinCvs client to access gcvs. Thanks in advance
To resolve it I reinstalled CVSNT this time allowing the CVSNT Server to be installed. This fixed the problem although I now had to manually disable the unwanted CVSNT services.
(I have not tried. Please let us know whether it successes or not.)

Please try "Run as administrator". It works on Windows 7 when I experienced the same situation.

Visual Studio Remote Debugging on XP Embedded - tried everything, please help!

I need to debug some C# code on a remote machine running XP Embedded. I did remote debugging on several occasions on different Windows operating systems and all worked well, but I think that the XP Embedded OS is missing something.
I'm popping my brains out in the last couple of days, reading and trying stuff, but nothing seems to work. So if you have been in the same situation and found a solution, please help. Here is what I did up to now:
Successfully established a remote debugging connection to an XP Professional environment, so I know that there's nothing wrong with my remote configuration.
Started the same services on the Embedded environment that are running on the Professional environment.
Configured DCOM permissions, firewall, local users with same name and passwords on both local and remote machines. Gave local users administrator rights.
Started msvsmon.exe both as an application and as a service, under the local user account, wich also has log on as a service rights.
Triple-checked that there is no other firewall between the machines that could drop remote debugging packets.
If I use the No authentication (native only) mode on the Embedded machine, the remote debugging works and I can see the processes. Otherwise, I get an error:
Unable to connect to the Microsoft Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor named '[NAME]'. The debugger cannot connect to the remote computer. This may
be because the remote computer does not exist or a firewall may
be preventing communication to the remote computer. Please see
Help for assistance.
Thank you for the time you took to read this and any suggestion may help. Thanks!
Can you use WireShark to capture the data going to the remote XP embedded device? If you get a TCP acknowledgement, at least you'll know it's not a firewall problem.
Did you tried to start msvsmon.exe with admistrator rights ? Maybe that is the issue, a post by John Robbins explains it : http://www.wintellect.com/CS/blogs/jrobbins/archive/2010/06/15/vs-remote-debugging-across-workgroups-or-domains.aspx.
