Deployment Start Time cannot be changed

≪ Previous: SCCM 2012 Windows Patch Update Install Report

I have a couple deployments that I am unable to change the deployment start time on (which set itself in the future)

I can go into properties, and change the deployment start time there, but under the deployments tab it still shows the original time, which is in the future. Also, I did try changing to Client time, rather than UTC. The only way I could find to change it was to delete the deployment and recreate with a different specified time, but this clears out the compliance statistics...

Any ideas?

Missing many applications in Software Center

≫ Next: Content Distribution issues

≪ Previous: Deployment Start Time cannot be changed

Im migrating my SCCM 2007 to 2012 SP1. I have migrated and converted all of my 2007 packages to 2012 applications. I have about 170 applications total. Im going through them and making sure they all in/unin-stall correctly. I am working with two test systems - one 32bit and the other 64bit. Im running into a problem where all of my applications dont show up in system center. Im always missing about 50% +/- of them and they are always different. I can reimage the system and different applications will show up - some not previously shown, some were. They are all deployed to a test_workstations collection only and are available. Content is distributed successfully and 98% of them are set to Install for System. Lastly when I check the deployments tab on the device all of the applications are listed there. These systems have been on for a few days with no change. It seems like stuff doesnt get fully updated - ie. the applications that are listed after imaging are the only ones youll get.

Can anybody help me out with this? Its hard to move forward when this so sporatic.

Thanks-

Rob

≫ Next: Detection rule for RSAT W7 SP1

≪ Previous: Content Distribution issues

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.

SCCM 2012 SP1 CU1: delivery of large App-V package to client results in Insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program.

≫ Next: content download behavior

≪ Previous: Adding an existing Task Sequence to the Application Catalog

Hi,

We've got an issue where large App-V packages fail to install from the app catalog, however if you install them manually, running exactly the same command that SCCM uses the package is added without issue. e.g.:

ErrorMessage=Insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program.FullyQualifiedError ID =System.OutOfMemoryException,Microsoft.AppV.AppvClientPowerShell.AddAppvPackageContext:Severity=WarningHostName=ConsoleHostHostVersion=3.0Host ID =96138c86-1713-4774-b231-027a57e28ad3EngineVersion=3.0Runspace ID =82791baf-5bd0-412b-af81-e4c3a3b63ae3Pipeline ID =1CommandName=Add-AppvClientPackageCommandType=CmdletScriptName=CommandPath=SequenceNumber=15User= xxx\SYSTEMShell ID =Microsoft.PowerShellUserData:

This is the command used by SCCM (from appenforce.log):

Executing Command line: "C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe" -ExecutionPolicy Bypass import-module 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Application Virtualization\Client\AppvClient\AppvClient.psd1'; Add-AppvClientPackage -Path 'C:\Windows\ccmcache\o\MathLab MatLab r2012b_2_3.appv' -DynamicDeploymentConfiguration 'C:\Windows\ccmcache\o\MathLab MatLab r2012b_2_3_DeploymentConfig.xml' with system context

If I open a PS command window as myself and run exactly the same command, copy and pasted from that log, there is no issue. The app appears and is usable.

What could be the difference between SCCM executing this with the SYSTEM account causing it to run out of memory?

Thanks

just checking this to make sure;

in SCCM 2012 if you deploy an application, a package or a (set of) updates in what circumstances will the content be downloaded precisely ?

I know that updates are Always downloaded now, but is it correct that applications are alsoAlways downloaded and/or does this behavior change if you use a required vs an available purpose?

for packages you still have the option in a deployment to set it to run from dp or download and run locally, this option is not available for applications

there is some info on technet about the cache behavior in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712288.aspx but it can be interpreted..

Orphaned Applications in software center

≫ Next: Configuration Manager Software Distribution command line for Batch/CMD files

≪ Previous: content download behavior

I have seen this a few times but seems to be intermittent. I created a query based user collection. My test user account was part of that collection. I deployed an app to the collection. The user was able to see it in the app catalog and install it successfully. The user then uninstalled the app successfully. The app stills shows in Software Center as available (which appears to be normal although I wish the behavior would be that it would disappear). But that's not the issue. So I no longer wanted the user to be able to deploy this application that they previously installed and uninstalled. Since it is a query based collection which the user should be in, I added an exclude collection that just had the user account in it which seemed to work fine. The exclusion collection caused my test user account to drop out of the collection. After a few minutes, the app dropped out of the app catalog which is good and what I expected. The problem here is that the app still remains in Software Center and shows as available and the user can still continue to install and uninstall this app. I have forced user policy several times with no change and let it sit for a few hours with still no change. As a test I then removed all membership from the collection so that it was completely empty. Still no change. I then deleted the collection and the deployment and still no change. I have also forced machine policy and application deployment evaluation cycles and still no change. I have ensured that there are no other deployments of this app, it is not a dependent app of any other app either. So I am left with an app that I can still install/uninstall from software center with no existing deployments of that app. Other times I have done similar and the app does disappear from Software Center after updating user policy. But definitely once or twice in the past I have seen this behavior as well. In the past I believe I removed and re-installed the configmgr client to get rid of the orphaned apps. I have not done that yet this time in the hopes of troubleshooting further. Has anyone ran into anything like this?

Configuration Manager Software Distribution command line for Batch/CMD files

≪ Previous: Orphaned Applications in software center

I am trying to use a CMD/Batch file with Configuration Manager 12 Software Updates to copy two files to a specific application folder on client machines. I have
been unable to get the script to work with Software Distribution. When I run the files manually they work.

I am using the command line: CMD /c file.cmd. I have tried various changes within the file as well. One being COPY /Y "%~dps0*.*"
"C:\Program Files\Application" and xcopy /RY "\\server\software\application\*.ocx" "C:\Program Files\application".

The source file location is on our software deployment share for the site server so there is no rights issue for where the files reside. I tried running software distribution with a drive letter thinking that the unc path is an issue. I am running always with administrative rights. I have used vb script in the past, but would like to know the proper command lines to send out Batch and cmd files in Software Distribution.

Thanks,

Are Local Admin Rights required for SCCM server to use a Network Share for a Package Source?

May 31, 2013, 12:35 pm

≫ Next: Cann't Download Application Package from SCCM 2012

≪ Previous: Configuration Manager Software Distribution command line for Batch/CMD files

I'm using SCCM 2012 SP1 to deploy Software Updates, Packages, and Applications. For all of these deployments, the source locations are on a network share (and not on a disk local to any of the SCCM servers). The SCCM services are using the local computer account (e.g., SCCMSVR$) to access to the network shares. If I grant the SCCMSVR$ account full control for the network share and then download the package content, SCCM downloads the content from the internet to that network share (i.e., the folder/file is created and populated) but the "Download Software Updates Wizard" returns an error: "The SMS Provider reported an error". In SMSProv.log is an error message: "*~*~Downloaded content specified iin package source directory is in wrong location~*~*"

If I change nothing in the package (app, update group, etc) and simply make the SCCMSVR$ account a member of the Administrators group on the windows system hosting the network share, then the download process completes without error and I can deploy the package/application.

Is there any reason why the SCCM server would require local admin rights on the system hosting the network share?

For complete info: In addition to giving SCCMSVR$ full control on the network share, I also gave it full access to the NTFS folder structure (obviously, that had no impact - but, I tried for completeness). There were no errors in any of the Windows logs on the network share system - and no dropped packets in the firewall logs.

Any ideas?

I have one client that when launching Software Center gets "Loading Software Center returned error code 0x80041013." I have tried reinstalling the client, rebuilding the WMI repository (used both winmgmt /resetrepository and stop services renamed wbem\respository folder).

Hi there,

We are in the middle of SCCM2012 deployment and Windows 7 implementation.

In our Windows 7 Gold Image we do include SCCM agent with autodetect parameter.

We have already deployed about 500 windows 7 machine prior of SCCM2012 infrastructure setup as PC deployment is urgent for few site for new employee intake.

Problem that we facing now is those 500 machine that deployed earlier only 150 reported back to SCCM and the rest is missing from SCCM database.

for new machine with same image do manage to report back to SCCM environment.

I am wondering is there any possible chance or setting in SCCM agent that say after 1-2 month attempt to FIND SCCM Site and it keep failed and will make the service stopped permanently ?

How can we tackle situation like this to find back the 350 machines?

Adding an App-V management server to SCCM infrastructure? Possible or Impossible?

≪ Previous: SCCM 2012 Deploy --- Error = The software change returned error code 0x87D00324(-2016410844).

Hi everybody,

I am new to App-V but familiar with SCCM. Our packaging lead has asked if we can add an App-V management server in to our SCCM infrastructure as it will give greater control over the App-V applications which we currently distribute with SCCM.

Is this possible? I haven't seen any documentation on it so I have turned to the forums. As far as I can tell, the SCCM distribution points act as App-V streaming servers but all management is handled by SCCM, he is saying that an App-V management server will allow us some type of granularity in uninstalling App-V apps from individual clients.

Could someone please advise if this is even possible, and if so how would they integrate (ie, would we need a separate App-V database or would it use the ConfigMgr database) and is there any documentation on this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Michael

I'm deploying an app that supersedes a VB script to remove all existing versions of Java before installing Java 1.6.0.31.

Java 1.6.0.31 --SUPERSEDES --> VB Script

It works fine, but the detection method currently is:

If HKLM\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\Java 1.6.0_31 does not exist, then run the VB Script.

I want it to be, if Java 1.6.0_31 AND anything else exists OR Java 1.6.0_31 does not exist, then run. Is this possible?

Also, if I run the package and a week later, a help desk installs a new version of Java (either removing 1.6.0_31 or adding a simultaneous install), will the app re-run?
