Deploy Powershell 3 to Win7 Via SCCM 2012R2

$
0
0

Is it possible to deploy Powershell 3 to Windows 7 clients using SCCM 2012R2? Or WSUS? 

I have read a few blogs describing different methods such as dism to repackage the cab file or using a scripted deployment type (Windows6.1-KBxxxxxxxx64.msu /quiet /norestart)  but i can not get it to install the update.  My aim is to get the app-v 5 client on windows 7 desktops so powershell 3 is a requirement.

Has anyone worked out how to deploy it?

Many Thanks Dave

 


Available software uninstalled Supersedence software

Created an application and deployed it to Software Center as "Available". I also used the Supersedence tab to indicate it should replace an older version and checked the Uninstall box. Next thing I know is that the older version is getting uninstalled without anyone trying to install the newer application.

My question is should this have occurred like that and was this because I had created the app with the Supersedence enabled? Both versions were available deployments in Software Center and not required.

Newly created Applications do not appear in Software Center or Application Catalog

I'm still rather new to SCCM; but I'm slowly working towards configuring an application to be deployed to my clients via an application package that I configured.  I set something up for deployment, and it's my understanding that the app should show up in the software center for the users that it's deployed to.

However, I'm having an issue where not only is it not showing up, but it's not being installed on the clients I've deployed it to.  The main problem is that I have no idea how to troubleshoot this - I don't know what logs to look at for issues (or where the logs are); and I've been having a ton of trouble locating 'basic troubleshooting' info for application deployment.  

If anyone could point me towards info that can get me on the right path for troubleshooting why my application isn't either automatically installing on the clients or why it isn't showing in the software center/application catalog, that would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Deploy Application During Task Sequence

Hello I have created about 10 packages to be part of our Windows 7 deployment using installshield. The packages install ok manually and through SCCM Client Center. However when I add them to my Task Sequence I get 1603 errors??? Is it a permissions issue. Some of my packages work some don't?

Here's the log error

Unmatched exit code 1603 is considered and execution failure.

IE 10 upgrade failure

Hi

Currently we have Windows 7 desktops with IE8. Our Corp requested to upgrade all 10000 systems to upgrade with IE10. I have already installed the pre-requisite patches on all systems using SCCM. But the installation of IE fails on 50% machines with exit code 40007. Even manual installation gives "IE 10 upgrade not completed" message. Pls support me to get it resolved. Thanks

Problem with Java 1.8 update 31 deployment

$

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.

SAP GUI 7.30 as an application

Hi,

I created SAP 7.30 package and I am able to deploy it to my client machines from SCCM console. I used the article below.

https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/SAP-GUI-Installation-Using-22b7e486

However we want to publish SAP 7.30 in application catalog and let our users to  see and install SAP from Application Catalog by themselves. As I know, SAP has to be created as an application (not as a package) to be seen in Application Catalog. I could not find any article or guide on how to create SAP Application(msi). Can you please give me a link or advise on how to create SAP application?

Thanks.

Getting wrong programs info after the package creation.....getting program from a different SMS of a different pacakge

$

Hi

In the current environment we have multiple departments to which the applications needs to be deployed. Due to this same application has been packaged multiple time due to differentcustomization. 

So while creating a package manually in SCCM:

  1.       We load the SMS file from the source directory.
  2.       After the loading the SMS we see multiple definitions listed along with the new one.
  3.       We select the new definition that was loaded by us and complete the package creation.
  4.       For many packages we have seen that the Programs shows some conflicts. Verified the SMS that was used to create the package and confirmed that the command line in the program is not the same as in the SMS. It seems it gets the program from a different SMS file that was loaded for same application created but for a different department which causes deployment failure.

After spending time I found that for same application we have multiple definitions (with same name) but different versions. 

Is it expected behavior?

Please advise what needs to be done to overcome this.

Application Catalog - Cannot connect to the application server

$

We're in the process of deploying SCCM 2012 R2, and have been getting this error every time a user tries to log into the application catalog website. The site was working Tuesday morning, and although I don't believe we made any changes to the server, it stopped working that afternoon.

I've tried several common solutions suggested in various threads about this issue, including giving the Local Service account full permissions to C:\Windows\Temp. Today I tried removing the Application Catalog and Application Catalog Service components from SCCM, removing IIS and .NET from the server, re-installing IIS and .NET, and reinstalling the components, and nothing has worked.

The ServicePortalWebSite.log file in the CMApplicationCatalog directory shows the following error every time the service starts or a user tries to log in:

[62, PID:11176][03/12/2015 12:09:42] :System.ServiceModel.Security.SecurityNegotiationException: The caller was not authenticated by the service.

And below that, in one of the exceptions, this line:

System.ServiceModel.FaultException: The request for security token could not be satisfied because authentication failed.

We installed the component to the default web site in IIS, using the default name and options, without HTTPS, so this should be as simple deployment. I've only found two discussions about the specific errors. Per this one (http://www.itninja.com/question/sccm-2012-unable-to-connect-to-application-catalog), I've confirmed that both sites are using the correct application pool and reinstalled .NET. Per this one (https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/65f647f3-ae38-427e-94ae-65ec470e308a/application-catalog-cannot-connect-to-the-application-server?forum=configmanagerdeployment) I've confirmed that the FQDN for the server is consistent throughout SCCM and the web.config files for both sites, and that there are no other site bindings to port 80.

I'm out of ideas, especially since this is such a simple environment. Any ideas what might be causing this error or how else to troubleshoot it?

User Experience during application deployment ( required / available)

$

Looking for some help here..

We have an application (not a package) that is configured to run 'whether or not a user is logged on'. 

The application has to close the previous version if it is open, as such we feed the run the msi with a /Q parameter. In the case where the application is open, the user is not asked to answer anything. However, if the application IS open, we prompt the user to confirm that it is ok to close the application and continue. 

When this application is deployed as required, and the user is not logged on - everything runs smoothly. Same for when the user is logged on but the application is NOT open.

However - when the user has the application open, the application installation begins, but the installation (and required popup message) are not visible to the user as the 'allow users to interact with this application' checkbox could not be checked. 

(Side note, if you deploy this as available and even though the application is configured to be hidden, it runs visible - is this a bug?)

So the question is:

How do you deploy an application that should run whether or not the user is logged on, but when they are logged on it should allow them to interact with the application?

I seem to have a mess on my hands that I don't have a solution for and is causing me all kinds of grief.

I have a package id that is listed as active in PkgXferMgr.log, and it will not go away. I cannot delete the package in question as it has dependencies that do not exist. I have checked in DP Job Queue Manager and there are no jobs listed.

Is there somewhere else I can manage these active jobs?

Issues deploying applications via a Task List

I am trying to install a group of 4 applications via a task list, I also have program required to run prior to the task executing.  The program itself is just a pop up warning of an automatic reboot.  I can deploy the program and the 4 applications individually just fine.  If I run a task list of the 4 applications without running the Program first, it works as well.  However, if I set the Task list to always run a program first, it seems to fail, not always, but always on the same machines. I get the following in the execmgr log.

Application uninstall deployment not triggering when app used in TS

$

0

So, I have packages and apps used in TS. Despite reading that apps tend to break I have not seened this behaviour yet. The only weird thing is that as long as I have apps in TS I can't use an uninstall deployment (I always use 2 deployments to every app, one install and one uninstall to two different collections). I Think the reason is because the app have the TS reference as install, which will always win over uninstall. If I disable the app step the will uninstall. I have not tested supersedence, but it will probably not work. 

These are the alternatives I've found:

1. Deploy TS to a seperate Collection (direct memebership) rather than all workstations. I will have to put the clients in this Collection every time I want to run the TS and then remove it after so future uninstall deployments work.

2. Disable the apps in TS every time Before an uninstall.

We don't have plenty of uninstalls, only when updating standard apps which will need to be uninstalled before installing the new version.

Anyone having other suggestions?

 

Changing the Partitions Used for Distribution Point Packages

$

Good Afternoon All - 

I set up SCCM 2012 a few weeks ago and have been adding things to it ever since.  My company has 4 major locations in different cities and I obviously have a Distribution Point located in each.  

When adding the DP role to the offsite servers, I was asked for Primary and Secondary locations for the packages to be saved.  The settings I configured have worked out as they should.

My question is how to change this on the primary SCCM server.  By design and default, SCCM installed the DP role alongside itself on the same server.  The server has partitions as follows...

C:\ - OS

D:\ - Program Files

E:\ - SCCM Data / DP Content Library

Y:\ - SWAP Drive (Not written to)

I had planned to (and still want to) use the E:\ partition as the primary and D:\ as secondary drives.  However, C:\ has about 30gb of DP packages on it and E:\ seems to be secondary.

Question

So... how can I make E:\ the primary, D:\ the secondary without an uninstall / reinstall of the DP on the primary SCCM server?

Thanks!

Multiple programs inside one package?

Hi,

 

I am trying to install multiple Java versions in my UDI TS but after the deployment of the machine I get errors and java versions do not install.

 

Take a look at the example bellow:

 

java1.JPG

 

If I do a package for every version separately works, but I want to cut down on the number of packages to make the console less crowded. I would like to do the same for Office 2013 but I cant.

 

Settings for program:

 

Even when I specify folder path where one of the versions is installed the installation fails (did i fill out the field correctly?):

 

java4.JPG

 

 

Do i run it with UNC name or drive letter? tried both

 

java5.JPG

 

Folder structure:

 

java6.JPG

 

Error:

 

java7.JPG

 

I tried putting all the versions or should i say their files to one folder and only then did it work, problem is that .cab filenames are the same so i cannot add as many versions as i want.

 

Please help,

 

Thanks,

if application and package is deployed to collections.

if application and package is deployed to collections. if application is uninstalled manually detection method will install application automatically or forcefully so what is that interval? similarly if package failed to install (re-run if previous attempt is failed) program settings so what is interval it will retry i mean it's daily,weekly it relates hardware inventory?
