SCCM – Inventory Data Load Failed to Process the delta MIF file

Background:

Installed a new SCCM Primary Site in a new environment. Used SCCM 1702 media. WSUS, SCCM and SQL Server all sitting on the same server.

Got the client installed successfully on all the new devices and left SCCM to do its thing overnight.

Noticed that the devices were not being added to the new Device Collections i created. Double checked that the filters were correct and proceeded to do a Healthcheck of SCCM.

While looking at the SCCM Console and check out the Component Status page, noticed the following errors:

Error:

---

Inventory Data Loader failed to process the delta MIF file……

Solution:

---

The issue as it turns out was a permission issue.

Running ProcMon (SysInternals Tool) and filtering by Access Denied I was able to see Access Denied errors on the D:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\CCM…..

Click Share on the folder (right click > Properties > Sharing tab) and add the relevant service account that is captured in ProcMon.

 

SharePoint 2010 Error – Some or all identity references could not be translated

As part of a Domain migration, moved all servers in the SharePoint Farm to a new

One of the SharePoint Application Servers had to be rebuilt and re-added to the Farm. When trying to add the server to the Farm, got the following error:

Error:

---

Some or all identity references could not be translated.

Solution:

This issue is part of the duplicate SPManagedAccount issue that is blogged here.

But the solution will not work. You wont be able to get into the Service Accounts to change the Farm account to another Service Account.

You will need to rebuild the Central Admin.

Make sure to disconnect all your App Servers and Web Front Ends first before you disconnect the Central Admin server from the Farm.

SCCM Client Install – WMI Corrupt

Recently moving my SCCM Clients to a new SCCM Primary Site.
NP – these clients sit in an untrusted domain.

Used the CCMClean tool to clean up all traces of the old SCCM Client. Then installed the new SCCM Client successfully.

For a handful of clients, the above process wouldnt work.
Errors in the logs indicated a corrupt WMI Repository.

Below details how to fix a corrupted WMI Repository.

Solution:

---

Stop SMS Agent Host.
net stop cmmexec

Stop WMI Service.
net stop winmgmt

Delete WMI Repo.
rmdir /s /q %WINDIR%\System32\wbem\repository

Start WMI Service.
net start winmgmt

Start SMS Agent Host.
net start cmmexec

Install the SCCM Client.

SharePoint 2010 Error – Item has already been added. Key in dictionary.

Currently migrating my SharePoint Farm from one domain to another domain due to unresolvable DNS issues.

While reconfiguring the User Profile Service, came across the below error:

---

Error:

Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: ‘local\svc_SP_Farm’.
Key being added: ‘local\svc_SP_Farm’.

---

Upon further investigation, identified in the Managed Service Accounts a duplicate of my svc_SP_Farm Service Account.

Removing the duplicate account via remove-spmanagedaccount -identify “Local\svc_SP_FARM” failed because the service account is running the FARM. Annoying.

What it looks like is that I updated the Farm Account password via Central Admin GUI, but also had another Central Admin session open on another server, causing the conflict.

Solution:

---

1. Open SharePoint 2010 Management Shell from the Start Menu.
2. Type the following command:
   $spmanagedaccount = get-spmanagedaccount -identity “Local\svc_SP_FARM”

3. Then run the following command:
   remove-spmamanagedaccount $spmanagedaccount[0]
