If you have deployed an operating system to a system with System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (SCCM 2007), the task sequence is still being advertised to the computer. This means that a user is able to open the “Run Advertised Programs” window and re-run the Operating System Deployment. This may lead to unwanted situations, i.e. when a user accidentally runs the deployment, while he has important files stored locally.
vSphere Virtual Center service starts and then stops again

At the end of backup.bat, I got the following error: "Backing up vCenter Orchestrator configuration failed"
