Application Deployment Management
ConfigMgr 2012 is NOT 2007
Move requirement processing to the client
Use explicit collections for Applications with a REQUIRED Deployment
Do not target App-V Uninstall deployments to All Users/All Systems

5. Understanding your Environment
ConfigMgr client polls for new policy changes
A SPROC is run by the Management Point
The SPROC queries the ResPolicyMap and DepPolicyAssignment SQL Tables
The more records found, the more CPU time required

6. Troubleshooting Approach
MP_GetMachinePolicyAssinment is the SPROC for Machine Policy
MP_GetUserAndGroupPolicyAssignments is the SPROC for the User Policy
ResPolicyMap maps the Resource ID (user/computer) and PADBID (unique ID for the policy)
Count of rows in ResPolicyMap = how many policies to process
DepPolicyAssignment links policies to their dependencies
Used for CI processing (Requirement Rules, DT selection, etc)

7. Demo
How BIG of an issue is it, really?

8. Oops!! What to Do! Reduce the amount of IIS concurrent
connections allowed on each MP to
reduce the load on SQL…
… and WAIT!

9. How to Prevent this in your Environment
Minimise the number of Required Deployments to the All Users/All Systems Collections
Prevent making any large policy changes that target the All Users/All Systems collections
Create an explicit UNINSTALL Collection for each REQUIRED Install Deployment
Base the Collection membership on the compliance state of the application = true and exclude the INSTALL collection
Queries will be posted on ConfigMgrDogs blog post TechEd event

13. Why can they be a problem ?
Secondary sites are now participating in replication
They hand up some data about their replication status and other status type data
The more secondary sites you have, the more data being moved around
Too many and you may find very large replication delays in the secondary site replication groups

14. Technical Details
Secondary Site Data is the replication group in question
It should replicate every 5 minutes
Like all replication groups spDRSSendChangesforGroup is used to pull out all the changes and send them to all members participating in the group

15. Demo
Multiple Secondary Sites

16. Send History Changes to replicate 1 x 100 = 100 100 X 100 = 10,000

17. How to address this ? ConfigMgr 2012 is NOT 2007 Use Remote DP’s
Use AllowedMPs
Upgrade to R2

18. DRS Troubleshooting

19. How to address this ?
Replication Link Analyzer
SPDiagDRS
Rcmctrl.log

20. Demo
