I have problem in letting pc join the sccm pool.
Somehow our coumputer cannot be staged by sccm, and it needs to be pushing software by the sccm 2012 sp1, So could some one let me know how to let pc join sccm pool? Cuz I have used a cmd-line before, or can it be joined by sccm server interface?
Thanks.

You need an SCCM client installed on a computer in order to push software to it.
Is this PC a member of the domain? If it is, then you can enable System Discovery in SCCM to allow SCCM to pull information from AD. Once this is done, you can go to Assets, Devices and search for your computer.
Right-click it and choose Install Client to push the SCCM Client to this machine.
If remote client push isn't working, then from the system you want to manage, connect to \SCCMServerName\SMS_SITE\Client and run the SCCM Client installer found here.
Once the client is installed, you should be able to push software to this machine.
The following table lists the various methods that you can use to install the Configuration Manager client software on computers.
Client push installation
Software update point installation
Group Policy installation
Logon script installation
Manual installation
Upgrade installation by using application management
Automatic client upgrade
Client imaging

We recently migrated from VS 2008 to VS 2013 including a set of setup projects. One of the setup projects is meant to install a web application. It has one custom action that is meant to check the connection to the database. The code of the custom action has not been touched during the migration and the .msi works perfectly when generated from VS 2008. When I built the .msi from VS 2013 it works perfectly well when installing on our local development server, and throw an error saying that it cannot connect to the db when rolling out in the clients environment.
I'd really appreciate if anyone can point me into direction of search here. I know that I'm passing a correct connection string, and .msi generated from VS 2008 can connect to that db from the same server.
Visual Studio custom actions that are installed for Everyone will run with the local system account. Connecting to a SQL DB will often fail because the DB doesn't allow the system account to connect, or because the DB is on a network share and the system account has no network privileges.
So it could fail because of the security settings of the DB or because the DB is on a network, and it may be nothing to do with the server. It might also connect if the install runs with a Just me setting because the custom actions then will run with the installing user's credentials. There may also be issues with architecture because servers are 64-bit and the 32-bit subsystem is optional, and you didn't say whether you install was x64 or your custom action code.
I want to run BizTalk server 2010 on windows 7. Problem is my company’s management does not want to give local administrator rights to developers. Can I perform BizTalk operations (like start/stop/create/ delete host and host instances, publish website on IIS, deploy services, import/export MSI and bindings, create SSO and BRE entries, etc) without local administrator rights.
I also need to work on ESB toolkit.
I want to confirm that, due to the absence of local administrator rights, would I stuck or be in trouble at any stage of BizTalk service live cycle ? and is there any way around to overcome those issues ?
Thank you,
Best answer: Can they provision a VM of Windows Server 2008 R2 for you where you can be a local Administrator and run BizTalk Server? Even the most security conscious environments I've been in allow this.
To address your specific question: No, you don't need to have local Administrator, but...there are a number of tasks during BizTalk DEV that require a very high level of privilege on the system, such as creating and managing Services, deploying/installing applications, managing the Global Assemble Cache and probably a few more.
So, by the time you get all the system rights to do these, you're pretty close to being a local Administrator anyway.
Either way, a VM is still the preferable option. Technically, it doesn't even have to be joined to a Domain so you'd really be in a sandbox.
I have the Limited Edition of InstallShield that comes with the Professional Edition of Visual Studio.
I want to host my updates on my own server, like you can in the ClickOnce Publication settings.
I would like to have the application autoupdate if a newer version is available on the server.
Is this possible? In the Update Notifications I only see 'Yes - Enable FlexNet Connect with Software Manager 12.01' or 'Yes - Enable FlexNet Connect Without Software Manager'. I don't see any way to have it check a personal FTP site for updates as was available in the ClickOnce settings.
It's not possible with IS LE. It is possible by writing your own infrastructure to poll for updates, download and invoke them.
My company is interested in better integrating our investment in VMWare with our TFS deployment. Currently the company is running TFS2005 SP1, VS2010, and we have a sizeable SAN that we would like to use in environment reproduction similar to what is offered in TFS2010 Lab Management.
Of the features offered by TFS2005, we are currently leveraging only TF Version Control--work items and build automation are handled by separate systems. However, we would like to use the TFS-integrated Symbol/Source server in order to accurately debug the different versions of our product, and that's where we're running into difficulty.
The VMs deployed in VMWare are not joined to the corporate domain, and this means that we run into difficulty when attemping to grab source code information via Source Server and the "tf.exe view" command.
If devenv is run on the VM, it can't authenticate a domain account, and tf.exe view fails when grabbing source info.
If devenv is run on the developer desktop and debugging is done with remote debugger, the vm's local user account fails to access the share exposed by Symbol Server and can't load symbols to begin with, much less retrieve source.
Has anyone done this before?
Yes - You can still do this. If you are using Windows 7 (and I believe Windows Vista) you can always add the domain credentials to the "Credentials Manager" in the Control Panel. This will help it authenticate for the TFS URL whenever it needs to talk to TFS.
BTW, I have a blog post discussing the Symbol Server and Source Server features of TFS 2010 available here: http://bit.ly/SymbolServerTFS
When I try to connect to remote server from a .Net windows service installed on the local machine, it is working correctly, but when install the windows service in the same server where the web application is installed, it gives this error:
"Unable to connect to the remote server"
There are many possible reasons for this.
But this is a guessing game with multiple combinations of choices and paths since you did not describe the context well (which Windows, editions and versions, etc.).
One of the possible reasons is "Loopback check" security feature in Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861
