Error while editing SCCM OS task sequence

Sometime back, we were facing this error while editing OS install task sequence.
"There is not enough memory available to perform the task sequence operation."

Strange, as total available memory was enough.

So, went though this link-
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Enterprise-Mobility-Security/Task-Sequence-Editor-8220-too-many-steps-8221-Issue-and-Solution/ba-p/247122

And made these changes:

-changed memoryperhost to 629145600(600mb) from 536870912
-changed handlesperhost to 8192 from 4096


Also, did a general cleanup of SUGs for Expired/Superseded updates.Changed collection refresh schedules to less frequent one.

This fixed it for us.

Error 0x8024002D-A full file update could not be installed because it required the source

I was facing this error during deployment of Third Party updates through SCCM. Wanted to update Acrobat DC.

On checking the logs, it seemed the Acrobat required the original .msi for update to work. The updates are as you know .msp.
And the .msi got deleted from ccmcache.

The solution is you repair Acrobat DC, from a folder, where the .msi is present-C - :\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Setup Files

So, run this command to repair Acrobat, open cmd and set the source to - C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Setup Files. Run the below command.Then, the update works.

Command=msiexec /fomusv "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Setup Files\{AC76BA86-1033-FFFF-7760-0C0F074E4100}\AcroPro.msi"
