Application in Software Center ask again for installation after succesfull instalation

SCCM 2012 SP1 CU5

I have created msi application version 2, in superseding I configure uninstallation of old version

App deployed for collection and showed in Software Center.

If I install it in Software Center, old app is removed, new installed (appenforce.log tells it), and its ok for some time.

After PC checks for software deployment, Software Center asks to install new app again.

But its installed and works.

in AppIntentEval.log I can see this record:

<![LOG[ScopeId_C499A53E-0FFD-4150-8731-0DF9D0B88558/Application_07897b40-25ff-4c91-af1e-0c5a914bd0ee/6 :- Current State = NotUpdated, Applicability = Applicable, ResolvedState = Installed, ConfigureState = NotNeeded, Title = Клиентская часть системы DIRECTUM 4.91.1908]LOG]!><time="09:54:55.223-300" date="11-27-2014" component="AppIntentEval" context="" type="1" thread="1364" file="appconstructs.cpp:3057">

What does it meens Current State = NotUpdated ?

How can I fix it?


Deny previously approved application request

$

Is there a way to revoke an application that was approved in SCCM 2012?

Scenario: 

User A requests app A and it is approved, then that user moves to a different department or role that no longer requires them to have access to this app.

I know I can uninstall the application but the user could just go back in to the application catalog and reinstall the app. Is there any way to deny an application once it has already been approved?

Packages stuck in "Content Updating" Status - CM2012 R2

$
0
0

I've been noticing lately a lot of packages are being stuck in the "Processing Content" or "Starting to process content" states.  I have checked the DP's, and the content is there. I just don't like the fact that it shows 85% compliance if it's really 100%.

I called Microsoft, and they tell me that sometimes the Status Messages get "lost" or "skipped" during deployments of content to the DP's. They are the "lowest priority" of all status messages.

What are we doing wrong? I can go through and redistribute them, and they make it fine.

Is there a powershell script that I could run that would isolate these so-called "stuck" packages and redistribute them? They aren't in a failed state, just pending. And they stay that way for weeks...

Thoughts???? Any help would be much appreciated!

Script Detection Method

$
0
0

I'm having some difficulty using custom scripts as the detection method for an application deployment type. I'm hoping someone can confirm what I'm running into.

Signed powershell scripts do not execute and powershell claims they are signed. After digging into this, I've discovered that any scripts uploaded in the detection method Script Editor window are converted so the newline character is no longer CRLF, but just LF. Powershell doesn't realize there is a signature block when the file is saved with just LF as the newline character.

The scripts don't live on the client for longer than it takes to execute them. To get around that, I've denied SYSTEM's ability to delete files from c:\windows\ccm\systemtemp. This way I can actually see the file that is being downloaded. It doesn't matter how I upload the file or paste the values into the Script Editor window, CRLF is converted to just LF when the file is downloaded.

I can always do VBScript or change powershell's execution policy, but is there a solution so I can use signed powershell code? My site is running on Server 2012, SQL 2012 SP1 and ConfigMgr 2012 SP1.

Problem with supressing user notifications of MSIEXEC process errors

$
0
0
Deploying custom .MSI based applications sometimes result in "Error 1618: 'Another installation is already in progress". This error surfaces at the client through the Software Center and is entitled,Interactive Services Detection”. I have turned off all user notifications when I built the application, yet this error continues to come up occasionally (even after rebooting the client to clear up any failed MSIEXEC operations). Is there any way to completely turn off user notifications when deploying .MSI apps? Problem environment is System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager.   

Application Approval Workflow

Hey All, 

i am trying to utilize the application request feature in the SCCM web catalog.

our environment look something like this atm:

  • Software request raised in Service-Now
  • If the request meet certain criteria MS Orchestrator will get the request
  • SCROCH will invoke a RunBook and add the user to and AD group - Sync with SCCM - software installed.
  • a 2nd runbook will confirm installation on end client, update the SN ticket and close it.

i have added a link on the ServiceNow catalog portal to direct the the user to the SCCM web Catalog where the user can request all in-house software from there, but i still have to follow the current process.

is there a way i can achieve the above without Microsoft Service Manager? is there a way to get SCORCH to pickup the approval request and handle it?

thanks in advance guys.

Maintenance Window not honoured?

$

Hi Folks,

The more I read through these forums on how the Maintenance Window works the more I feel my deployment was set-up correctly. However, I had a number of workstations unexpectedly install Win7 SP1 and restart during business hours (which are defined as 06:00 to 23:00 with a Configuration Baseline).

My SP1 deployment is set-up as follows:

  • Set as Install, Required, pre-deploy software to user's primary device (checked),
  • Advertised at 08:30 with a deadline of 23:30 the same day (last Friday) 
  • User Experience is 'Show All Notifications', and has 'Software Installation' and 'System Restart (if required to complete the installation)' unchecked.
  • No restart flags specified on SP1 command line, just using /quiet and /nodialog
  • Should Config Manager enforce specific behaviour regardless of the applications intended behaviour set to 'No specific action'

However, a small number of users turned their workstations off when leaving last Friday. When they came in today (Monday morning) the installation was triggered straightway.

Checking the logs at one of those affected I can see that the Maintenance Window is detected but for some reason is not honoured. I can't see any mention of the user triggering the restart either.

SCNotify_USER.Log

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Mic



software center permissions error, SCCM 2012

I'm getting a strange error in the software center.  The applications and packages deploy without any problems but users receive an error when trying to install the application or package through software center.  They receive the error "Insufficient Permissions for Software Installation" and "Your IT department has set restrictions for this software that prevent it from installing on your computer".  I have attached the screenshot.  We are running SCCM 2012 on Server 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2008 R2 on a separate server.  If this is something that is configured on the server I don't remember ever doing it but I can't find that error anywhere on Google so I'm kind of at a loss for the moment.  Again, any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Failed to take snapshot of one or more contents in package

We have two main SCCM site system servers, and all of a sudden (everything was working before, no change) the applications would not distribute to the DPs.

distmgr.log:

Snapshot processing content with ID 16781461 ...

The source directory \\sccm02\Packages\ doesn't exist or the SMS service cannot access it, Win32 last error = 5

Failed to take snapshot of one or more contents in package 00239

I tried granting Everyone full control for both Share and NTFS, and granting the site server computer account full control, still the same issue.  I could access it manually w/ the UNC path and read/write/delete all of its contents.

If I copy the folder to another server and point it there in the Application, it distributes the content to DPs just fine.

Prompt hidden in background?

I have a task sequence that will enable certain components of the users Office 2013 installation. Before it begins I have a prompt that allows them to click ok to continue.

The problem being that the prompt appears to be running hidden.

I'm using the 'Run command line' to run the exe within the package I've set in the step.

This is all running in the full OS not a PE.

Am I breaking a fundamental SCCM rule here?

Not liking Deployment Status Monitoring in SCCM 2012 - Not enough detail

$
0
0

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

All deployments reporting 'CI Version Info timed out'

$

Hi guys,

I've had a recent development where all deployment monitoring is reporting 0% success all of a sudden.

Everything was working fine up until a few weeks ago, then I came in one morning and noticed all of my deployments were now reporting varying percentage of errors. Over time the success percent went all the way down to 0% for almost all deployments.

However, the actual deployments themselves are successful. As in the software is installed and logs report success.

Using the 'Application Infrastructure Errors' report, they are all now reporting 'CI Version Info Timed out'.

I've  followed so many threads on here suggesting redeployment, updating content, updating memberships of collections etc. I've had no luck at all.

If I look on an example client I see the DCMReporting log has a few errors of 'Failed to resolve version for scope xxxxxxxxx' and the CIDownloader log reports 'Failed to delete Instance Policy xxxxxx'

I haven't made any infrastructure changes to the actual SCCM build in quite a while, though I did restart the server recently.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Recurring Schedule Deployment of an Application - SCCM 2012

$
0

Hi,

We are converting our SCCM 2007 packages into SCCM 2012 applications and I've scenario that I could not determine the solution with new application model.

In short, I have script that I want to run on or after the 3rd  Friday 7:00 AM of each Month. Currently it exist in SCCM 2007 as package and has advertisement configured as recurring schedule with rerun behavior set to "Always rerun program". The program is set to run "only when a user is logged on" (in hidden mode) and "run with administrative rights".

The package contains only a vb script.

Now the problem I have while converting this into an application (SCCM 2012):

  1. Because it is only a script, what should I put it in Detection Method? I do not have anything to detect and I want this script to run every month based on recurring schedule.
  2. When setting up Deployment: in scheduling I could not find anything related to "recurring schedule" as it was previously available in advertisement.

Appreciate if someone knows the answer or direct me towards any available reference.

Thanks.

SCCM 2012: failed to connect to distribution point

$

Hi folks,

I have an intermittent issue and can't figure out the reason so far.

I have a primary server and multiple distribution points. The primary does not have a DP configured. When I deploy a new distribution point, I have the following messages:

Distribution Manager failed to connect to the distribution point. Check your network and firewall settings.

and

Distribution Manager failed to find or create the defined share or volume on distribution point.

DistMgr.log shows the following:

CWmi::Connect() failed to connect to \\AMB-SCCM-E.domain.name\root\CIMv2. Error = 0x800706BA

STATMSG: ID=2391 SEV=E LEV=M SOURCE="SMS Server" COMP="SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER" SYS=BBD-SCCM-E.domain.name SITE=IDC PID=2120 TID=3376 GMTDATE=do jun 28 07:24:17.463 2012 ISTR0="["Display=\\AMB-SCCM-E.domain.name\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=IDC"]\\AMB-SCCM-E.domain.name\" ISTR1="" ISTR2="" ISTR3="" ISTR4="" ISTR5="" ISTR6="" ISTR7="" ISTR8="" ISTR9="" NUMATTRS=1 AID0=404 AVAL0="["Display=\\AMB-SCCM-E.domain.name\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=IDC"]\\AMB-SCCM-E.domain.name\"

Failed to find a valid drive on the distribution point ["Display=\\AMB-SCCM-E.domain.name\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=IDC"]\\AMB-SCCM-E.domain.name\

Cannot find or create the package share.

Error occurred. Performing error cleanup prior to returning.

However, after a while (couple of hours), it looks like everything is distributed on the DP. But this message keeps on coming back during the course of the day and every time a new DP is deployed.

I checked permissions, IIS, WMI, but I can't find out the cause of this behavior. I have events about WMI (id 5605) but I can connect to the WMI workspace (root\MicrosoftIISv2) with no issues.

Can anyone shed some light on this please? It would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Safdar.
