Introduction

As we all know that MS released the latest version of SCCM 2010 with a lot of added features into it and we all would like to upgrade our existing SCCM 2006 infrastructure to 2010 without any delays. So I started doing it for my test site and was noticing some strange behavior that you may or may not see but we will discuss it here so it can be beneficial for others and save their time.

Patch My PC

Issue FIX ConfigMgr Upgrade Download Error

First thing I noticed was that there is no “Configuration Manage 2010” version in my console. Strange. Clicked “Check For Updates” under Administration – Updates and Servicing a couple of times but still the same.

Jumped to logs because the message says to check DMPDOWNLOADER.LOG as soon as you click “Check For Updates”.
Found below error in DMPDOWNLOADER.log. More details about SCCM Logs.

Came to know there was a new PALO ALTO installed. Now what? Shall I wait to whitelist the required URLs by the network team for my current task? I selected the answer as “NO“. Let’s calculate all of our available options.

If we try to pass the traffic via proxy after proper authentication then there might be a chance to get things going. So the first thing I did is found the proxy server information and added the same to “IE – Tools – Internet Options – Connection – LAN Setting – Use Automatic Configuration Script” and entered the Address there. Now the next time you open IE and try accessing the internet then the traffic will pass through the proxy and it will ask you to enter the credentials.

The next step would be to configure SCCM to use the proxy.

Configure the proxy for a site system server – FIX ConfigMgr Upgrade Download Error

In the Configuration Manager console, go to the Administration workspace. Expand Site Configuration, and then select the Servers and Site System Roles node.

Select the site system server that you want to edit. In the details pane, right-click the Site system role, and select Properties.

In Site system Properties, switch to the Proxy tab. Configure the following proxy settings:

Use a proxy server when synchronizing information from the internet: Select this option to enable the site system server to use a proxy server.

Proxy server name: Specify the hostname or FQDN of the proxy server in your environment.

Port: Specify the network port on which to communicate with the proxy server. By default, it uses port 80.

Use credentials to connect to the proxy server: Many proxy servers require a user to authenticate. By default, the site system server uses its computer account to connect to the proxy server. If necessary, enable this option, click Set, and then choose an Existing Account or specify a New Account. These credentials are the site system proxy server account.

Choose OK to save the new proxy server configuration.
