Where is link for Offline installer, scepinstall.exe for latest version, curently 4.7.209 ???????

Where is link for Offline installer, scepinstall.exe for latest version, currently 4.7.209 ???????

I have looked for a link in the past for the scepinstall.exe file and it is always a MAJOR PAIN, if not impossible to find!!!!!!

Microsoft NO LONGER HAS AN EXCUSE FOR THIS LINK NOT EXISTING!!!!!!!!!

They have been told that it needs to exist and the logic for it is without error.

The ANSWER WILL NOT BE IT DOES NOT EXIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is NO EXCUSE FOR THIS NOT TO BE AN EASY TO FIND DOWNLOAD MICROSOFT, NO EXCUSE, except maybe laziness or greed, but no technical or legal reason for it not being made available, obviously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There MUST BE A PERMANENT LINK MAINTAINED BY MICROSOFT WHERE I CAN AT ALL TIMES GO TO DOWNLOAD THE LATEST GREATEST STANDALONE SCEP CLIENT AT ALL TIMES!!!!!!!

Today it would contain version 4.7.209. When the next version is release I will click on the same link and it will down load that new version EVERY TIME, NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been able to capture, during an update the epplauncher.exe file and its accompanying folders etc, but that installer does not support any command line switches like the scepinstall.exe version for the client installer does. Needless to say that is ridiculous and stupid and incompetent of Microsoft to do, but that is what they did so needless to say I need the SCEPINSTAL.EXE version of the client installer that supports the command line switches, x64 and x86 in one file, no need to program in a check for that. And of course a link is absolutely required so that I can always find the latest version and I will never have to re-write my install script every time the install files changes, or a new version comes out, nor spend time trying to capture the file during an update etc. etc. etc.

Also don't tell me to go to the SCCM administrator, because he doesn't have a clue as to where this can be found or even that it exist. (The link given in the forums for finding it on the SCCM server DOES not maintain the latest greatest version at all times so that is also not the answer.)

I should also NEVER have to extract it from the SCCM updates such as "Cumulative Update 4 for ConfigMgr 2012 R2" which is where I found the 4.6.305 version a few months ago.

Thanks for the help, get your act in gear MS,

Ralph

Ralph,

You won't find a link to download as the SCEP update is treated as a Windows Update via ConfigMgr. 

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3036437?wa=wsignin1.0

You could join Connect and log this request with Microsoft by joining the Configuration Manager programme.

https://connect.microsoft.com/

You might want to lay of the exclamation marks when you do so, it would look a bit more professional.

Be aware there have been reported issues with the version of SCEP you are wanting to install.

You realize all the caps and exclamation marks make you look extremely unprofessional, right?

These are community forums, stop trying to take your anger out here.

September 11th, 2015 2:01pm

Sup Ralph. Hey, I think your caps lock key is stuck...

Anyway, there is no full standalone installer (scepinstall.exe) for 4.8 currently. It's only available as an incremental updateinstall.exe from Microsoft Update: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3049560

Nevertheless, here are the direct links should you choose to use them:

x64: http://wsus.ds.download.windowsupdate.com/c/msdownload/update/software/crup/2015/05/updateinstall_a4deb3eebd3ac19f8b465097d818708a0e0d87c7.exe

x86: http://wsus.ds.download.windowsupdate.com/c/msdownload/update/software/crup/2015/05/updateinstall_d2d129a54bd3ab27f2b0d46d7dd2ed2bf093d73e.exe

Perhaps one day your ConfigMgr admin will figure out how to obtain these links for you from the console as I've previously explained in one of your other posts.

In addition to logging a request for direct links to be provided on Connect, you should also post on the UserVoice page: https://configurationmanager.uservoice.com/forums/300492-ideas

Until next time...
