SCCM Client Not Updating the server - Part 2

Following on from this post the fix I decided to use is again, not ideal but it will get the machines talking back to the SCCM server.

The solution was to create a task sequence in Group Policy Preferences.
"Computer Configuration" > "Preferences" > "Control Panel Settings" > "Scheduled Tasks".

Create a new task with the following settings. The most important one is "Run with highest priviledges". Enter the details of an admin account that can run this on the PC's you want it to as well.



Create a new trigger, I went for "At log on", and delayed this by an hour. So after the user has been logged in for an hour, run this task. I also add a limit to how long this can run, just incase.


Create a new action, "Start a program". You want to run:
C:\Windows\System32\ccm\ccmrepair.exe

I have also added a condition that a network connection must be available. There is no point trying to reconnect to the server if it cannot be reached.

The rest of the settings dont really matter, but the above is what I went for. As long as a machine gets Group Policy, the SCCM client will repair.

Still best to resolve the issue with the build as outlined in this post, but this will fix the ones that slipped through the deployment.
