Is it possible to access content directly from distribution point when deploying applications.

I have found the setting in the package deployment but not in applications, if so how do I do it?

Thanks

I have tried to make sense of all the restart options and I'm still having difficulty. Since the restart options are very limited for deploying applications (i.e. no suppress restart options) we are looking at the Maintenance Windows option. However, I have not been able to find out what happens if the Maintenance Window is missed consistently (if the computer is shutdown or whatever). I know the most common answer is use WOL to boot the computer, but we have 5,000+ computers and so far very few of them have WOL configured and our area techs are somewhat hesitant to depend on it anyway.  Basically we need a way to install apps/packages/updates whenever the computer is powered on, but not have the computer restart. We then either need the computer to be allowed to be shutdown by the user at the end of the day or reboot it outside of business hours. 

We have had some success with the software updates using the suppress option, at least in keeping users happy that there computers aren't going to immediately restart. However, I can't find information on when what happens next - the 2 machines I tested it on seemed to reboot themselves after about 2 days, but they did it during business hours so that would have been bad if it had been regular machines. Can someone shed some light on the issue for me and give me some ideas on how to least impact our users? They tend to get freaked out with unknown balloon tips and reboot prompts.  Thanks again.

Hello

SCCM newb here, we're deploying an application (batch file) to a user collection. The logic behind the deployment is that the script will only run on the user's primary machine, in this case, it will add the user to the local admin group of their primary machine. 

The application requirements require that it runs on the user's primary machine, we did this by adding a requirement type (Primary device=true). The script is a simple batch file, net localgroup administrators %username% /add. The installation behavior is"install for system". We're noticing that UAC is preventing the script from running, even though it's apparently set to run at the system context which should be exempt from UAC. The deployment works fine on computers with UAC disabled.

Any suggestions on how we can get around the UAC problem on this deployment without having to disable UAC all together? Many thanks in advance for everyone's time and support. 

Hi guys, a quick question. If for some reason your Primary Site VHD is corrupted and you have a working backup of that VHD that was created a few days ago, you used that VHD and your secondary site failed to replicate (after having run Replication Link Analyzer) with your primary site because the secondary site server has up to date SQL log files than the Primary Site, how do you go about resolving this please?  Thanks~!

Hi there

I'm working with SCCM 2012 SP1 and creating application (not packages). I need an application to be installed on the user's computer if another application has been installed. I'm aware of the Detection Method and Requirements settings, but let me give you an example to illustrate what I need and then I'll explain the problem. Again, this is just an example:

1. Adobe Acrobat X Professional

2. Adobe Acrobat X Standard

3. Adobe Acrobat X Update (10.1.3)

The above are 3 separate applications created in SCCM. The first two will install version 10.0.0. They are deployed to two separate "Device Collections" as "Available".

The 3rd application is to update either of the first 2 applications to version 10.1.3. This application has Requirement set to check if either of those 2 are installed or not. The requirements arenot set to auto install. This application is deployed to both collections mentioned above and it's deployed as "Required".

What I'm expecting is that IF the client installs either of the first 2 applications, the 3rd one should automatically kick in (since it's deployed as required) and install.

What I'm seeing instead is that the 3rd application status in Software Centre just changes to "Past due - will be installed". And it doesn't seem to install on the computer. I've already played with deployment schedule (date/time) for the 3rd application but that didn't make any difference.

How can I get the 3rd application to start installing as soon as either of the first two applications are installed?

Hi folks,

I'm having a nightmare of a time trying to get SCCM to install Office 2010 after a Windows 7 image install via a task sequence. I can get .msi's of Adobe Reader and our corporate AV to install beautifully, but the one bit of software you'd expect to work seamlessly? Nope!

I've followed all the guides online that I can find relating to creating Applications in SCCM2012 for Office 2010 and yet it'll still hang. It appears to copy the setup files locally but not actually get any further.

I've modified the config.xml file and set up the unattended .MSP file using the instructions here:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd630736.aspx

and used instructions on integrating with SCCM such as here http://www.systemcentercentral.com/BlogDetails/tabid/143/IndexID/74550/Default.aspx and here http://blogs.technet.com/b/meamcs/archive/2012/05/08/deploy-office-2010-using-system-center-2012-configuration-manager.aspx but it's having none of it.

Does anyone have any experience with this?!

The log files don't appear to show anything meaningful. 

I should also add that I am very much new to SCCM but I've spent the last week or so setting it up and it's working quite well otherwise!

Many thanks! 

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone can help, we have deployed a package which we now wish to update, do we have to re-create that package with another name? I have amended the package in the source folder and created another deployment task and nothing is showing in available software, do I need to re-create the package also? not just amend and re-deployment? When I do a re-install it's just re-installing the original package ... can I remove the original package from the Installation Status tab? We don't want users to re-install an old package.

Regards,

Ross

Can anyone suggest a reason why a couple of applications in a task sequence intermittently fail to install? I have two steps in a task sequence to deploy 12 additional applications. A couple occasionally fail to install in the first group and a couple in the second i.e. they install during the build ok in the morning and not later in the day.

All apps are set to download locally, allow this applications to be installed as part of a task sequence is ticked and they have no requirements or dependencies.

Hello,

I have reccuring program (package) deployment which is set to "always rerun".

I would like to see the success percentage for each occurance of it, and right now my impression is that it sums up the success rate (in monitoring->deployment) from different occurancies (or maybe I am mistaking?).

Is there a way to achieve this in sccm 2012?

Hi

Most of our packages are advertised to all users, only a few are advertised to machines. When a new user 'A' opens the Software Center only the packages advertised to the machine appear in the list with a status of available.

When I login as a User 'B' that has previously installed packages they appear as installed in the Software Center list, as expected.

When I re image the machine and reset the user B's profile and login as User B the applications appear in Software Center as available.

User Affinity is turned off, How can I ensure these Applications don't re appear in Software Center?

Thanks

Hi,

I am trying to deploy office 2010 during build and capture, all other applications are deploying fine, but office 2010 returns error in AppEnforce.log

  Waiting for process 240 to finish.  Timeout = 120 minutes.AppEnforce12/13/2012 10:46:04 PM748 (0x02EC)

My guess would be that application is waiting for user interaction and it times out, but when I test this application via catalog deployment - no user interaction is required, office 2010 installs completely silent.

Here is more from the log:

Like I mentioned it worked on 1 of the 3 machines fine, but these 2 machines get the error. They are all 3 vms.  They are all three win7x64.

Hi.
 I'm trying deploying Office 2010 using System Center 2012 Configuration Manager.
 Application installed fine, but I have problem when I'm trying automatic activate.
 I'm using MAK serial. I know that I can use KMS but I would like use MAK serial.
 In my environment I have proxy server and I think that there is a problem.
I added script in Office Customization Tool which added:
 
netsh winhttp set proxy proxy-server="http=x.y.z.w:port;https=x.y.z.w:port"
 
cd C:\Windows\system32\
 cscript.exe "%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /act
 
 And When script try to activate office I have error: ERROR CODE: 0x80072EE7 - can't connect to internet.
 
When I run script from user who actually loged script is work fine.
 
Also I added value in Office Customization Tool AUTO_ACTIVATE = 1
 
Probably when application is deployed using local system account and try connect to internet without proxy server.
 I'm installing x86 Office in x96 systems - Windows XP and Windows 7

Do you have any idea how to resolve my issue?
 Many Thanks!

I have an SCCM 2012 server that is unable to push out .MSI applications to clients (Windows 7).  The application appears to be published correctly and shows up in the Application Catalog.  The clients Software Center shows the application as available and hanging at 0% complete downloading.  The Application Catalog install fails as well. After I attempt the install through the Application Catalog, the Software Center gives me a failed status, with an error code of:   0x87D00607(-2016410105).

The CAS log gives me the following information:

From almost everything I have seen this type of error is usually caused by incorrectly set boundaries and boundary groups.  I have tried both the default Active Directory boundary created through AD Forest Discovery and also an IP address range boundary involving the IP range that our test clients are on.  I've had both boundaries configured inside boundary groups both separately and in the same group and nothing seems to work.  

The Distribution Point has the Boundary Group listed and has the Deployment Packages listed under Content.  I'm hoping I'm just missing something small.  Thank you for any assistance.

UPDATE:  I found a couple of references that suggested changing the Deployment Type to "Download content from distribution point and run locally".  That definitely made a difference, but its still a no-go for the install.  The status in Software Center changed from "Downloading (0% complete)" to "Past due - will be installed" which then fails and the message changes to "Past due - will be retried".  When I check the details of the installation failure I get an error code 0x87D00607(-2016410105). I set a maintenance window on the relevant collection for daily 8 am to 6 pm (for testing) as a couple of posts indicated.  No difference in the results.

I checked the Content Status under Monitoring and got a couple of other notices:  the status said "Waiting for prestaged content" and the description below shows:



I know SCCM 2012 has made some fantastic changes to offering tools for deploying packages.  I am using and learning a lot about deploying apps using the new features of SCCM 2012 Application Management.  I still have a few apps that I need to deploy the old way using Packages.  With the old way, I liked using task sequences and conditions with WMI Queries.  One item I found out quickly is that I am having issues with SCCM 2012 recognizing some name spaces such as root\cimv2\sms.  I am still researching why.  The other item is reporting of advertisements or what SCCM 2012 now calls Deployments.  I am unable to find a way to get more detailed reporting on deployments that I had with SCCM 2007 using the right click tools and advertisement reports.  The details of these reports in SCCM 2007 was really good and I was able to troubleshoot each step of a task sequence.  All I can find with SCCM 2012 is a simple description that says the "Program completed with success" or the program failed.  Is there a way to easily get more detailed reports much like I had with SCCM 2007?  I know I am missing something really simple.  Any insight would be much appreciated.   

Thanks

Hi

Where dose Software Center get its list of packages to display?

I have published packages to All Users and they are appearing as expected in the software catalogue and the users can install them without problem. When they have been installed they appear in the Software Center as Installed.

My problem is that after a reimage of the PC, Software Center remembers all of the packages that where install by the individual user and shows them as Available in Software Center for that user.

How can I clear the Software Center list for each user.

I would really like the Software Center to show only installed packages/Application.

Thanks

Ian

 I have the error : - GetDPLocations failed with error 0x87d00215

Hello, 

I am trying to deploy software from another server in the same LAN as SCCM server. The share om the other server is available from the clients via UNC. The execmgr.log show nothing..

I have not seen this error before, any ideas how to troubleshoot this?

Best regards,

Kenny

Hi All,

I have a strange question, as I dont believe it is possible but I wondered what your thoughts were?

How would you go about deploying an application to a user that is not in a trusted forest (for example, a workgroup computer)? I imagine User Based client management is using Single Sign on? Or does it work out that a particular user always users a particular computer (based on Asset Intelligence)

Thanks

Paul
