This error happened to me when deploying the ConfigMgr 2007 client to a machine who happened to be without certificate (you know, the PKI stuff you setup when installing ConfigMgr 2007, setting up root certificate authority & certificate autoenrollment).
wmiprvse.exe launched ccmsetup.exe which terminated almost immediately. I went on to check the ccmsetup.log file (located in %windir%\system32\ccmsetup) and found on the last line the following item:
State message with Topic Type 800 and TopicId followed by random numbers.
I checked without luck on the net and went on to check if the computer had a proper certificate. I opened mmc.exe, clicked on File, Add/Remove Snap-In.., added the Certficates snap-in and selected Computer then Local account. Then I issued a request for certificate :
- Expand Certificates (Local Computer)
- Expand Personal
- Right-Click on Certificates (under Personal)
- Select All Tasks / Request New Certificate
- Resolve “à la Microsoft” (Next/Next/Next/Finish)
- You’re done!
Push again the ConfigMgr 2007 client and enjoy a coffee cup!
Hi all,
just one little note today: I’ve finally successfully configured and installed Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007. The thing is very tricky to install, mainly because most of the tasks pertaining to PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) that is, setting up the certificate infrastructure on your domain, are barely documented in SCCM 2007 Administrator’s companion. Thankfully, most of this is documented in this Technet article.
Make sure to do everything as mentioned and read it slowly. The most tricky part for me was the IIS certificate. I did it in a totally wrong way – I was probably doing something else at the same moment – and it was quite a mess! Thankfully it was fixed quickly enough. Provided that you reboot the machine.
One thing you should carefully consider is to make sure that your Active Directory domain controller is installed with the Enterprise edition of Windows Server 2003 otherwise you will not be able to deploy certificates using modified templates.
Have a lot of fun!
