i wanted to install the sce 2010 console on remote management machine, and have been following underlying post, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb437322.aspx , but now within this line '<ProgramFiles>\System Center Essentials\Certificates folder' the requested folder is there, but its still empty. ive recieved no error during install, and updates seem to be going ok. so why is here the needed certificate missing? or is there also a way to deploy the console trough 'Software update' inside sce2010? becauce i have made a special 'management group' with computergroups and gpo's im running SBS 2011, with SCE 2010

Hello, It seems that you have set up domain-based Group Policy. So you don't need to manually copy and import the certificates. The certificates are only used for Local Policy environment. You can deploy the console through "software Update" inside SCE console. In the package, run the command SetupSCE.exe and add the following parameters: /Silent /Components:UI More details could be found here: How to Use a Command Prompt to Install System Center Essentials 2010 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff603580.aspx Example: Install Essentials console only Description Use the following code example to install only the Essentials 2010 console. Code SetupSCE.exe /Silent /Components:UI Comments: The first time that you run the console after installation, a message asks you to which Essentials management server the Setup program should connect.

Hi, ive followed your directions to create the console package for sce2010, but during the 'Package signing fase' ik get the following error: 2147942402 ive tried to fix this, but the only post related to this type of error is: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/systemcenterdevelopment/thread/67aec156-71c6-41f5-8d19-7a8582338ea5 but when i try to follow this direction, im missing the 'WSUSCodeSighingCert.cer', but due to domain based GPO im not needing any certs. so is there anything wrong with the installation? or is it wsus/sbs2011 based? because the updates and sce agent itself are beeing installed just perfect. thnx in advance for any help

Hi, Have you finished Essentials Initial Configuration after the installation? Essentials Initial Configuration http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff603601 If you install a remote consol on a computer on which the agent has been installed, you don't need to copy the certificates manually. However, if you want to create a software package, 'WSUSCodeSighingCert.cer' is still necessary. The Initial Configuration should create the cert files.
