After Installing R8 for Notification Server

After Installing R8 for Notification Server

Just a heads up... After installing R8 for Notification Server all seemed to go well, but after one day the console threw an error every time we opened it stating it couldn't connect to the database, and when you ran nssetup it failed.

Turns out the coresettings.config file gets corrupted after install (sometimes...most times) so you need to run a repair on the NS and the service pack.

Schedule this Query to run at least once a week to auto merge your duplicate computers (computers with the same GUID). This automatically takes the most recent data and merges the two records together. This is a great way to keep your environment clean.

SQL Query to See the NOT RUN Status for Software Delivery Tasks

networkchic's picture

Instead of viewing the 'Status' tab on a software delivery task (which is never reliable) use this query to see a list of computers which have the status of 'Not Run' - meaning they have not received the Task or have not delivered any status on the task. Use the Collection Guid in your where clause.
