  • Different R3 power management settings on different collections?

    If you have defined different power management settings on different collections, and if a computer is in multiple collections that have different power management settings established, which power setting configuration will the client use?

     

    SCCM will use the power setting that has the longest timeout.  So, basically the setting that is least impactful to the user.  Thanks to Josh and Wally for the info.

     

  • What happens if I don't define SCCM site boundaries.....

    This questions comes up periodically, usually when customers want to run separate SCCM hierarchies in the same network or AD environment.  There are issues with client assignment based on this scenario, but what about software distribution?  Will the client think it's in a "fast" or "slow" boundary?  Turns out that the client will always assume it's in a slow boundary if no site boundaries are defined.  And, remember what the default action in the advertisement properties is for clients that are in a slow boundary?  Do not run the program. So, be careful.  

  • Collation in Service Manager

    Service Manager doesn't like the default collation method (SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS).  If your SCSM SQL server is running with that collation mode you will get a warning when you install SCSM.  

    Caution

    If you continue Setup using the default collation (SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS), you will not be able to support multiple languages in Service Manager. In the future, if you decide you want to support multiple languages, you will have to re-install SQL Server.

    The collations in the following table represent the approved collations that were tested.
