SCUP questions

$
0
0

so I have everything setup, I basically published everything and created 3 ADR's in SCCM and I'm waiting for the sync to sccm, so far the sync keeps timing out, I'm guessing that might be normal at this point??

Sync failed: The operation has timed out. Source: Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.DatabaseAccess.ApiRemotingCompressionProxy.GetWebResponse

Anyway, does SCUP put update in WSUS which then get picked up by SCCM ADR's; is that how it works?

How often does SCUP check for vendor updates?

Do I have to go in and publish SCUP updates every time?

Since I have ADR's do I have to create rules in SCUP?

When new updates come in can I easily distinguish them from previously published updates?

I used automatic, should I have used Full content when I published?

instead of having 1 publication should I have 3, one for each vendor?

Should I add new updates to existing publications or create new ones?

How does windows update know if Adobe / Dell, Hp needs and update?

Any tips and tricks would be very helpful, thanks!!

Hi Guys,

I need to perform the below tasks. 

1. Uninstall a plugin (no reboot required)

2. Install IE 11 (reboot required)

3. Install IE 11 patch (reboot required)

I have 3 different package created 

Do i need to create a task sequence to install these application as a single deployment or can this be done using Application model.

How reboots are handled in mid of deployments.

Please suggest.

What's the best way to handle new versions of software?

So we have an Application setup for Adobe Reader (just using Reader as a general example) which is part of our Task Sequence.  When Adobe releases a new version of Reader, what's the best way to handle getting the new version into our SCCM setup.

I know I can create a new application and do it all over and select the new file, but can I simply replace the files that the application is pointing to and then somehow tell it to update the DPs with the new files?  I'd rather not have to create new applications every time if I don't have to.

Thanks.

Problem with Java 1.8 update 31 deployment

$
0

It seems like I have to re-invent my SCCM Java deployment process each and every time Oracle comes out with a new update. I am currently attempting to deploy Java 1.8 update 31 and am having little luck. While this is an SCCM-centric question I am still in the testing process prior to actually deploying the software. I getting an installation error as follows with the 32-bit installation:

MSI (s) (50:CC) [11:52:09:663]: Product: Java 8 Update 31 -- Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action installexe, location: C:\Windows\Installer\MSI79FF.tmp, command: /s INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_31\\" WEB_JAVA=1 REPAIRMODE=0

The installer creates the installation directory and copies the files but the installation ultimately fails with the generic 1603 error.

The command line that I am using to install Java is being passed through Powershell Deployment Toolkit as:

Execute-MSI-Actioninstall-Path"jre1.8.0_31.msi"-Parameters"JU=0 JAVAUPDATE=0 AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 RebootYesNo=No WEB_JAVA=1 /q"

Which I tested manually as:

msiexec.exe /I "jre1.8.0_31.msi" JU=0 JAVAUPDATE=0 AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 RebootYesNo=No WEB_JAVA=1 /q

When manually run the install completes just fine without complaint so I know the switches are correct and are fully functional. I have even run the actual .com installer using just the "/s SPONSORS=0" arguments and that works just fine too when run manually.

I have never had an issue where a command line that works when run manually under and admin context won't work when run through Powershell. I read through the related thread at: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/enterprise-software/143767-java-8-update-25-silent-install-via-sccm-8.html however it doesn't seem to come to a definitive conclusion as to what could be done. I am not using config files as I have never had the need to before (passing the switches always worked until now). I am also able to completely uninstall all previous versions of Java using the Remove-MSIApplications PDT commandlet (which also works fine if I manually install 1.8 u 31 before running the PDT process again).

I am just getting fed up with the mess that is Java. It would be nice if there was simply some consistency and predictability within these version. If anyone can provide insight I would really appreciate it.

V/r,

Chris

Application Superseding behavior clarification

$
0
0

Wonder if anyone has some thoughts as I can't seem to find an answer and I have just finally started to work with Applications vs Packages.

I have created 2 packages

  • Package A: Detect/Uninstall all Java 7/6/5 Runtimes (vbscript that is set as the uninstall for the package)
  • Package B: Java 8 Update 25
  • Package B Supersedes Package A and is set to Uninstall Package A

I Deploy Package B to a small test collection of computers (Collection A) and everything is great, All previous versions are removed and Java 8.25 is installed.

Now Java 8.31 is released so 

  • Package C: Java 8 Update 31
  • Package C Supersedes Package B and is set to Uninstall Package B

1. If I do not remove the original Package B deployment to Collection A will Package B be replaced with Package C?

2. If I remove the original Package B deployment to Collection A will anything happen when I supersed Package B with Package C

3. If I Deploy Package C to a new Collection B does Package A uninstall run first and then Package C install or is Package B installed then uninstalled (I don't think that would be the case)?

I understand that there is an issue surround machines that have a superseded app with a deployed task sequence, neither Collections have a deployed TS.  And I am trying to figure out how machines in Collection A that I don't feel I deployed Package C to installed it (Showed Already Compliant when I deployed Package C to Collection A),  They had previously received Package B but i'm sure I removed the deployment before I superseded Package B with Package C.


Monitoring of an application tells me that the installation was successful, but after a while, the same monitoring tells me that the installation that was successful now got a lot of errors.

Monitoring of an application tells me that the installation was successful, but after a while, the same monitoring tells me that the installation that was successful now got a lot of errors.

This is the monitoring windows telling me that Elements have a compliance % of 57,1, and it was about 98-99%...

As you can see, I’ve got 92 clients that are successful and 69 errors, which is wrong…

And the correct amount of errors are 2 computers that failed.

I’ve checked some of the computers that get this deployment, and who is not located in the successful status, and they all got Elemets installed.

Why do I get all these errors when the installation is successful?
I find it very strange that its random which computers that report successful, and after a while then reports error(but nothing is logged in the error log…)


I have tried this solution from Patrik Schumacher, and it works, just for a while…

Can I change the update schedule of multiple collections, i.e. with Powershell?

$

Dear all,

I have about 500 collections (user and device) with different update schedules (ranging from every 5 minutes to never at all) and now wish to change the update schedule to a general one (once every 30 minutes). I know how to set the schedule with Powershell, but only when creating new collections (New-CMUserCollection ... -RefreshSchedule...). Ideally, I would put all my existing collections in a text-file and run an appropriate cmdlet to adjust their schedule, but unfortunately I do not know which one; Set-CMUserCollection i.e. does not accept the parameter -RefreshSchedule.

Does anyone have an idea how this can be accomplished without having to touch each collection manually?

Thanks in advance

One applications keeps becoming "not applicable"

$

Hello,

I have an application setup to install Office 2010. It will go great for months but eventually the applications stops showing up in the software center. On top of that I can see in the AppIntentEval.log that applicability=NotApplicable. I have had this happen before for Office 2010 which I resolved by copying the applications and deploying the copy. Now the copy isn't working so I now have a copy of the copy being deployed.

Here is the line from AppIntentEval.Log. Office was working just fine last week, this week it doesn't become available to install anymore.

ScopeId_07BE0050-1DAB-4F0B-BE99-524582FE38AF/Application_8989dd35-ac18-4ca5-a3e8-ee4c3dabc599/2 :- Current State = NotInstalled, Applicability = NotApplicable, ResolvedState = None, ConfigureState = NotNeeded, Title = Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010

If anyone has any thoughts please let me know or my next step is CSR.

Multiple collections - which collection properties win?

$
0
0

Hi,

In short: if a device is in multiple collections, which collections properties win?

More info, I have 2 collections:

  • 1 contains a config baseline (and therein config items) - Membership is to the 'All Mobile Devices' built-in collection
  • 1 contains 10 apps - Membership is to query all Windows Mobile devices

The membership works fine. If I change the properties of either of the collections, such as Power Management which I want to select "Never Apply Power Mgmt...", does either take priority and if so how, or do both need it? How can I tell?

I'm trying to do the above but having inconcistent results, hence the q.

Thanks,

Piers

Dependency after uninstall?

$
0
0

Hi All,

Scenario is that we install Office 2013, Addin 1 and Addin 2 during OSD.

Addin 1 and Addin 2 are also used outside of OSD and therefore have a depencency on Office 2013.

We are now looking at deploying Office 365. We are using OffScrub to remove Office 2013 and then install Office 365 Click to Run. The addins are available in Office 365 with no intervention which is great.

However, it seems that Office 2013 wants to keep trying to reinstall although there is no deployment/advertisement to the PC for this application.

Question - because of the dependency from Addin 1 and 2 which were deployed during OSD, is Office 2013 trying to reinstall?

i.e. Are these OSD apps running detection methods and dependency conditions during normal policy refresh/app deployment cycle etc

Detection Method Process during install

$

My question is in Reference to how it appears the detection method works in SCCM 2012. <o:p></o:p>

I am running theAcrobatCleaner Tool which uninstalls Acrobat. In my case I am looking to uninstall version
11.x. This is set in the command line for the tool.
<o:p></o:p>

In SCCM I have an application deployment type. I set a detection of the MSI for Acrobat
10. (If I set for 11.x It would not run and ver 10 it will not run if Acrobat 10 is installed which 11 would not be.) <o:p></o:p>

During the Application Discovery the MSI GUID is found.

The application is installed (Uninstalling version 11, producing a return code of 0)<o:p></o:p>

I am getting a return code 0 in the AppEnforce log. However it is showing failed in the Software Center and an error code of 0x87D00324<o:p></o:p>

Is there another process which the checks for the component which was set for the detection? <o:p></o:p>

It seems the install is running correctly.Since Acrobat 10 is still not installed (Which is expected) after the uninstall it appears, The detection is being re-run and not finding it.<o:p></o:p>

If this is the case, any thoughts on what I should use for detection instead of Acrobat 10.x. Guess on option would be to put the exe in a MSI.<o:p></o:p>

Thanks for any input and helping me to know I am not crazy.

Conditions for faster Application Deployment

$

Hi together,

we're in need to deploy some Applications to some computers as fast as it is possible.
I've searched for criterias which influences the speed of a deployment, for example the client push intervall setting from the Client Settings, but i didn't found much information.

Is there an overview / chart / graphic which shows the technical workflow which happens in the background when i target a collection with an application? I couldn't find something like that in the Technet Library or elsewhere in the internet.

Also i'm interested in your experiences with a scenario like that if you have some.

Thank you for all your tips and information!

Detection method not working

$

Hi,

I am trying to deploy visio SP2 KB2687468 and it keeps on failing the install. I believe it is my detection method causing this but everything seems ok. I get the error The software change returned error code "0x87D00324" I am just checking the registry to see if the component version is equal to 14.0......

I verified that the machine I am trying this on that the value of this registry key does not equal what I have in my detection method so it should install. Is there some other way I should be doing this? It is a .exe file so I can use a windows installer .msi file as the detection method. Checking the App enforce log it says that it was not discovered so it should install then correct?

Application vs Software Update deployment - Whats the difference / app deployment problem?

$
0
0

Site infrastructure:  SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 - 1 Primary, 2 MPs/DPs (both process software updates/packages/Applications)

Boundaries:  Active Directory Site

Problem:

Software updates and AV dat files are processing fine on both DPs.  Application deployment is working fine on 1 DP but not the other.  Some clients have pulled the application fine from the second DP but others won't (CCTMJob::UpdateLocations - Received empty location update for CTM Job).  From what I have seen this in generally a content bounds issue or the package isn't on the DP.  I checked the DP and the data/pkg are in SCCMContentLib on the troublesome DP.  Are the permissions possibly not correct?

If I create an IP bounds and associate the other DP that's processing the application fine then the client installs the application no problem.

Questions:

1)Is there a difference in the way Software Updates/Applications are deployed compared to applications?  Everything exists in the SCCMContentLib so updates and applications should be processed the same way, correct?

2)What should the permissions look like on the data in SCCMContentLib look like?  (Everyone (read/list/execute?)/System(full)/Admins(full)/Users(read)?

3)Why would some clients pull the application from the DP fine but others won't?  Is there something wrong with the IP in the AD site bounds?



Applications deployment report inconsistencies

$

I am using the Reporting Center's "Software Distribution - Application Monitoring > All
application deployments (advanced)" stock report to track progress of some deployments. The reports for a couple of our deployments are inconsistent, showing different data depending on which view you are in. The two screen shots below are the same deployment, taken at the same time.

We are using an MSI for the application installer. It is installing correctly on machines. I have tried to update, refresh, Run Summarization, etc. And, by contrast, the reporting for another deployment we are doing concurrently is very clean.

You can also see in screenshot #2, there are two rows for successes. And when you click in to them, they show the same data, but nowhere near 396 machines.

Any tips to make these more accurate and in alignment? Thank you.
