Оказалось, что MTU для моих интерфейсов по каким-то причинам был изменён на 1300. Изменить MTU:

netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces

netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface «имя сетевого подключения» mtu=1500 store=persistent

После изменения MTU на значение по умолчанию — 1500 — установка по сети началась.

Основные нововведения:

• т.н. подход «Green IT», позволяющий экономить средства и снижать влияние на окружающую среду, управляя электропитанием на клиентах;
• поддержка до 300000 клиентов на сайт;
• гранулярные политики, «дельта»-запросы в AD и кое-что ещё, о чём можно почитать по тегу.

На сайте Microsoft Connect доступно для скачивания R3 Release Candidate. Отличия от R3 Beta:

• Changes in Power Computer Activity Report flow which helps admin to better understand trends between computer and user activity and associated drilldowns  
• New report Power Insomnia Report which reports most common insomnia reasons based on number of machines impacted for Vista/Win7 machines not sleeping  
• New report Power Computer Details Report to view all power data for a specific machine (plans applied, capability, inventory..)  
• Admin console improvements

На сайте Microsoft стал доступным для скачивания прошедший вчера веб-каст System Center and the Green Client, посвящённый управлению питанием на клиентах SCCM 2007 и краткому обзору остальных новых возможностей.

Написал обзор R3 beta — http://itband.ru/2010/05/configmgr-2007-r3-beta/.

На сайте Microsoft Connect опубликована SCCM 2007 R3 Beta. Объём 27 Мб. Там же доступен документ, описывающий изменения, которые несёт R3. Если вкратце, то:

· Power Management. Provides a set of tools to allow the site administrator to configure standard Windows power settings across computers

· Supported Clients Per Hierarchy: Configuration Manager 2007 R3 supports up to 300,000 clients per hierarchy when using the default settings for all Configuration Manager 2007 features. This increase in supported clients is the result of improvements to the Active Directory synchronization and Collection Evaluation processes.

Пару недель назад пересдал 70-401 на 884 балла. Не хватило теоретитческих знаний по тому, с чем не сталкивался: NAP, primary/secondary site, mobile device, Wake on LAN, Internet-based client. Итог — 648/1000.
40 вопросов, 80 минут, английский язык, симуляций нет. Вопросы очень лёгкие: «У вас есть инфраструктура с SCCM 2007. Вам нужно получить _какой-то результат_. Какой лог посмотреть/какой мастер запустить/какую роль установить?»
Темы вопросов совпадают с тем, что указано на официальной странице экзамена.

Также удалось побывать на курсе 6451А. Курс упорядочивает знания и даёт много новых, хотя специалисту с практическим опытом, наверное, будет скучно, поскольку внедрение продукта подразумевает под собой вдумчивое чтение TechNet’а и богатый опыт траблшутинга. В версии курса «А» много лабораторных работ не дают нужного результата (от траблшутинга толку тоже нет), хотя лично у меня всё было хорошо. Практический заданий много, что радует.
Курс не рассматривает много тем, включая работу с Windows 7/Server 2008, поскольку изучается функционал «голого» SCCM 2007. Мало времени уделено кастомной инвентаризации (моей любимой теме).

В сентябре этого года выйдет курс 6451B. NAP опять не затрагивается, зато рассматриваются: Internet-based client, SQL Reporting Services, Asset Intelligence, Application Virtualization Packages, SP1, SP2, R2, R3.
Конечно, администраторы SCCM 2007 всё это давно внедрили у себя в компаниях, но лучше поздно, чем никогда.

Кроме отчётов по использованию электроэнергии и новых возможностей при развёртывании ОС, в R3 будут добавлены:
— дельта-сканирование Active Directory на предмет появления новых объектов (пользователи, группы, компьютеры), т.е. информация в SCCM 2007 будет обновляться почти в режиме реального времени;
— динамическое обновление коллекции, завязанное на Resource ID. Например, быстрое обновление коллекции, содержащей компьютеры с какими-то определёнными параметрами «железа»;
— быстрое создание коллекций или добавление компьютеров в уже существующие коллекции.  

 
И чтобы два раза не вставать.
