SCCM 2012 R2 CU3:

Hello,

I have an application wich has a powershell script to detect if the Software is installed. The script is generally working.

When I check the deployment status I see that a lot of the Clients having an error : "The script execution has timed out"  

Here is my script:

$vApplicationName = 'Adobe Flash Player 14 Plugin'
$vApplicationName2 = 'Adobe Flash Player 14 ActiveX'
$VapplicationUpdate = 'Adobe Flash Player * NPAPI'
$vApplicationVendor = 'Adobe'
$vApplicationVersion = '14.0.0.125'
$vApplictaionDetect = get-wmiobject -class Win32_Product | where-object { $_.Name -like $vApplicationName+"*" -and $_.Vendor -like $vApplicationVendor+"*"}
$vApplictaionDetect2 = get-wmiobject -class Win32_Product | where-object { $_.Name -like $vApplicationName2+"*" -and $_.Vendor -like $vApplicationVendor+"*"}
$vApplictaionDetect3 = get-wmiobject -class Win32_Product | where-object { $_.Name -like $vApplicationUpdate+"*" -and $_.Vendor -like $vApplicationVendor+"*"}

if (($vApplictaionDetect.version -eq $vApplicationVersion -and $vApplictaionDetect2.version -eq $vApplicationVersion) -or ($vApplictaionDetect3.version -ge $vApplicationVersion))
    {
     Write-Host "Installed"
    }
else

{

}

Greetings,

This has happened a few times now over the last couple of weeks. At first I thought it was just a once-off bug, but it keeps coming back and I can't see any patterns to identify the cause or trigger.

Sometimes when I start a Deployment from the Software Center the Status gets stuck at "Installing" and never moves beyond that. It has happened for OSD task sequences as well as Package/programs. In both cases the same Deployment works on other machines, or has worked on this same machine previously. It's not always the same programs, and there seems to be no particular pattern I can find to cause it.

Restarting the SMS Agent doesn't resolve, it just comes up as "Installing" again after the agent has restarted. I've tried clearing the adverts from the client and no difference, restarting the computer also makes no difference... it just comes back as "Installing"

If I remove the computer from the deployment, it dissapears from the Software Center, and when I add the deployment back again it re-appears in Software Center as "Installing" again.

Doing a client repair (ccmrepair) doesn't fix it. Doing a client re-install (with always re-install) doesn't fix it either. I have to completely remove the existing client and reinstall to clear the problem, but that makes the client then appear as a completely new device in CM12 so that's not a very reasonable resolution.

The only log entry I can find that seems to indicate an error is in execmgr.log where an entry saying "OnContentAvailable invalid request GUID handle" appears several times. I have no idea what it means. Running the same deployment on another computer works fine.

Clients are all Windows7 SP1 32bit.

Hi there,

We have been struggling with updating our Autodesk applications, all of which are 8-12 GB in size. Anytime we update the sources files, SCCM appears to do a FULL update of all source files across our WAN links, instead of a delta replication. I understand binary replication is enabled by default for Applications, but I was told by a 3rd party vendor that binary replication only works on Applications up to 4GB in size. Anything larger, and it is a full source file update everytime. I have not come across this in any documentation, and would like to know if this is indeed true.

Thanks for your feedback on this,

Rich

Hi,

Since SCCM 2012 there is concept of Application and Package both..

can you please share more details  when we should use Application and when we should use Package deployment ???

is any limitation o deploy any software as a Application or as a Package ??

Should I deploy .msi as a Application and .exe as a package ? both deployment will be display in installed Software in Software center during and after deployment??

Hi guys

Has anyone come across any issues whilst updating to R2 CU4 from any prior version? I want to utilise the application model now this seems to be fixed, but for my own benefit wonder if there are any concerns I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

2 practical questions:

-how do you integrate the "change user /install" when deploying applications to terminal servers

-do you need to use the change user /install when deploying the app-v client (guess not)?

Please advise.

Hi,

I try to install a domain computer using HTTPS. at install apps i get the follwing error "Install Dynamic application action failed to install application: 'Office Professional Plus 2013'. Error Code 0x80004005"

anyone an idea?

When deploying a Package everything works normally. When deploying an application it always fails unless the client is located in the primary site boundary.

I see this in the DataTransferService.log repeating over and over:

<![LOG[CDTSJob::HandleErrors: DTS Job ID='{FB8F9F4A-D278-4694-8B8F-3C82A570C148}' URL='http://fws-boi-dc.fws.farweststeel.com:80/SMS_MP' ProtType=1]LOG]!><time="08:20:51.244+420" date="02-23-2015" component="DataTransferService" context="" type="1" thread="2092" file="dtsjob.cpp:5177">

The BITS job is getting a 500 error from the DP. The IIS logs on the DP show no 500 errors, but 200 instead. If I capture the traffic with wireshark I can see the 500 error that BITS is getting as well.

Hi All,

Hoping someone can help me out here. Attempting to deploy office 365 via SCCM and running into an issue where it immediately pops up "Couldn't Install. We're sorry, we had a problem installing your Office Programs. Is your internet connection working? Do you have enough free space on your main hard drive?" so on and so forth.

I set the deployment up as an Application and applied it to a device collection containing my test laptop. I've downloaded the source files using the Setup.exe /download download.xml and tossed it all into a directory on SCCM and set it as the content location. I've distributed the content to my DP where the laptop is located. When attempting the install it downloads all of the content to the CCMCACHE folder, and then the error comes up.

The CCMCACHE Folder contains the following:

15.0.4675.1003\ 

v32

v32_10.0.4675.1003

Inside of 15.0.4675.1003\ contains the following:

i321033 

i641033

Install.xml

Remove.xml

s320

s321033

setup.exe

stream.x86.en-us.dat

stream.x86.x-none.dat.

My install.xml contains the following:

< Configuration>

<Add OfficeClientEdition="32" >    <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">      <Language ID="en-us" />    </Product>  </Add>

<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />

<Logging Level="Standard" Path="%TEMP" />

<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />

</Configuration>

Per the above, I'd expect the following to happen: Data is distributed to the DP's. User machine is input into the device collection - software is now available in Software Center (we do not use the catalogue) Use downloads the content to their machine Install.XML sees that there is no sourcepath, so runs the setup.exe from the local path and uses the local files Office installs

Would appreciate anything you guys have!

Hi All,

Before I begin I should mention I have done some reading on how to do this and I understand the follow can be used;

- Deploy via Depp linking in SCCM (eg via app store) but this requires a Microsoft Account

- Deploy via Side Loading in SCCM but this requires the APPX files.

Now onto question, I work in a school and we are trying to deploy windows apps to students in our junior school. Yes these notebooks are for individual students, but the task to set up each one with a (retail) Microsoft account and set a password is rather hard for young children.

Is there a way we can deploy these skipping the Microsoft store???? I know Microsoft loves to support education so I know there would be a way. Please can someone help me on this one?

Thanks,

Richard

Hi all,

I am currently trying to deploy an update for the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client, that works for some computers.

On certain computers however, the client gets uninstalled and then fails to install (which results in upset users because they realize they can't start the VPN client any more, preferably in situations where they desperately need it...)

More technical details:

- The deployment runs as a required install in the system context.

- This is the command I'm using to install the application: msiexec /i "anyconnect-win-3.1.06073-pre-deploy-k9.msi" /norestart /passive /L*V "C:\msi.log" TRANSFORMS=COMPANY.mst

- I'm not manually uninstalling the VPN client first, I let MSI handle the upgrade install.

- The .mst file only creates a desktop shortcut and the .msi file is not modified in any way.

- With a global condition I'm checking if the VPN network adapter is currently active to avoid problems with an active VPN session while upgrading (services need to be restarted obviously, the connection would otherwise be cut off).

- As you can see from the parameters, I enabled MSI logging. I uploaded the logfile on pastebin, please tell me if that's against the guidelines / if I'm supposed to upload it somewhere else because I'm fairly new to the Technet forums. I'm also not verified yet, hence the malformed link.

I would appreciate it very much if someone can point me in the right direction here, this is really frustrating. Thanks!

I have several remote servers (about 16) that are being utilized as file servers that have many binaries on them to be used by users and remote site admins for content. Can I have SCCM just use these pre-existing locations as package sources, or is this not considered best practice? 

Or

Should I create just one package source within close proximity to the Site Server, or on the Site Server itself?

Thanks

Hi guys

I just wanted to get some feedback on how best to deal with updating Java and Adobe. Of course a lot of this will be opinion and circumstance, but feedback would be useful.

The 3 methods I am focusing on here is SCUP, the App model and the Packaging model.

Thanks

Hi,

we are using SCCM 2012 sp1 cu5 on Windows 2008 R2, one primary (it is also the MP) with many DPs.

We have sequenced our applications using App-V 4.6 sp1, and for some applications we have mandatory dependencies as specified in the OSD.

I am deploying the App-V applications in the same way as I have always deployed MSI applications.

I create the applications and add the dependent applications to the primary application (I don't worry about the order they are installed in, I just add dependencies and I guess it looks at the osd to install them on the client). The user is then added to the AD security group for the primary appv package which is advertised.

This seems to work ok for many apps I have tested. However, I get some that try to install and then fail with a message in the appenforce.log which says a CheckdependentPackages() failed and  "Mandatory dependent package {A.....} is not installed ont he client, so we cannot install this Appv package [Appname].

The apps are all linked as dependencies, so I thought they would just be called and installed as normal.

I'm just wondering if I'm missing something i.e. does the dependency need to be a specific order (same as in osd?) or do I need to create AD security groups for every package and add the user to it?, (i.e. does it use the AD group as permissions that the user is allowed to install the app-v app?)

When I use another system (not in the above SCCM scenario) which uses the Appv management Server to load appv apps for citrix thin clients, I create a group for each app, since it does use the group as permission to be able to install and load the appv app.

Just wondering if an SCCM Appv deployment expert could clear this up for me or give me a link to the definitive answer.

Hello,

I am trying to install  Windows Framework 4/PowerShell 4 by running "Windows6.1-KB2819745-x64-MultiPkg.msu" /quiet /norestart.  If I do this manually from my desktop, it works fine.  But from sccm 2012 Application or package deployment, it fails immediately with Error: 0x80070057(-2147024809) invalid arugment. BTW, I have the requirement installed: .Net 4.52 installed.

Thanks for your help,

Mark

I deployed two items - an Application and a Package to my test client.

After successful install I noticed that the PACKAGE has an option for REINSTALL but the APPLICATION only has an option for UNINSTALL (greyed out if the deployment is mandatory).

Does this sound correct, by design and match the experience of others?

What if I wanted to do an MSI Repair of the application but cannot do an Uninstall / Reinstall via software center because it is greyed out - I assume the using Add Remove programs is the suggested approach?

SCCM 2012 R2 is configured to deploy MSO 2010 to our systems, even the ones that already have it deployed. Regular deployment does not re-install MSO 2010 because it detects it already installed on a system, so I added "Detection Method" and configured it to look for a file "mso_installed.txt" in C:\WINDOWS. A custom MS Office package was created to place this file into C:\WINDOWS during the setup as part of App deployment. 

The logic is: if the app deployment does NOT find this file in C:\windows, it will force MSO reinstall. Introducing this method appears to hang the setup. I can see that deployment shows up in Software Center, content is downloaded, status changes to "installing" and then nothing happens. Setup32.exe process appears to sit doing nothing - no change in CPU or MEM utilization. Eventually, the status changes to "Past due - will be installed". 

We currently have a deployment that works, but doesn't have the detection method logic above. What could be causing this deployment not to work and if my method above is not ideal, what are my options for forcing re-install of the app, even if already present on the system?



How do I update the changes in the following scenarios without having to re-create the Application:

1. I make a change in the Application itself, not the actual package source binary. For instance, I check the "Display this as a featured app and highlight it in the company portal" check box on the "Application Catalog" tab.
2. I make changes to the actual installation binary file located in the package source. 

Thanks

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.
