Collection query for Google Chrome?

I am having problems creating a working collection query to check Programs and Features for the existence of Google Chrome.  I have the following query:

select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.ResourceId in (select SMS_R_System.ResourceID  from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS on SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName like "%Google%Chrome%") or SMS_R_System.ResourceId in (select SMS_R_System.ResourceID from  SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS_64 on SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS_64.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where  SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS_64.DisplayName is like "%Google%Chrome%") order by SMS_R_System.NetbiosName

but it returns a member count of 0.  I have systems that have Google Chrome installed and listed in Programs and Features.  I tried a query that looks for Chrome.exe and it finds systems that way, but I do not want to look for chrome.exe (in case there is some other app, program, or downloaded file named chrome.exe).

select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile on SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.ResourceId = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.FileName = "Chrome.exe"

Which returns a member count of 11?  Any ideas why my first query is not returning a member count even though I have Google Chrome installed and listed in Programs and Features?

Hi,

I have deployed an application using SCCM. The user being a local administrator removed it using the Control Panel.

Now I need to deploy it again to the user but for SCCM it looks as if it is already installed so it will not start the deployment. How can I force this redeployment to happen?

SCCM 2012 SP1 - deploying .msi and additional batch commands in single application

Hi there

Has anyone created a SCCM 2012 application to deploy both a .msi file which also required some additional batch script commands, such as creating a folder and copying a file?

I have a .msi file I need to deploy, and part of this deployment (not part of the .msi) also involves creating an additional file and folder structure within the folder structure created by the .msi file.

I can do this with a SCCM 2012 package, but I want to know if I can do it with an application.

I've played about with it; getting the .msi to install is of course fairly simple, however I can't a batch script with the file and folder creation/copy commands to run.

Anyone had to do anything like this?

Best regards

John

Application detection passes = dependency detections are skipped?

June 12, 2013, 2:39 pm

Hey everyone... hoping someone can give some experience feedback on my situation.

So, I have a parent application, Parent, that has 5 dependent applications.  The Parent application is deployed but the dependent applications are NOT deployed; I'm relying on the dependency mechanic to detect and install them.  Parent uses a registry setting for a detection method, and the dependent applications use Powershell scripts for detection.  The expected behavior I'm seeing is that if Parent is NOT detected, it then starts detecting/installing the dependent applications.

However, if Parent IS detected, it skips all the dependent application detectionsand just reports "Installed".  This presents a problem for me;if a dependent application is uninstalled, the Parent application will never trigger a detection again.

Is this expected behavior?  Is this an oversight?  Is this some programmer deciding that it's ridiculous to create a dependent application and NOT deploy it?  I can't create one giant detection method for the Parent application because it will time out (evaluation scripts have a 60 second timeout apparently).  I would also like to avoid Configuration Baselines/Items as that was a massive headache in 2007 and my scars haven't healed yet.

Any insights would be appreciated.  Thanks!

unable to deploy software .exe

Hi, I was successful in deploying .msi apps without any issues. Tried deploying a .exe apps, the first app worked without any issues but the second .exe app fails. I tried to perform a manual installation (not using SCCM) it did install but at the end part of the installation an error message appeared but for some reason it still showed up in my taskbar and all components were installed meaning the installation did push thru.

Tried it again in a system where the app is not yet installed via sccm again and it always fails.

Here is my setting:

1. create package

-create a name for the package, create a description, under source folder browsed on my shared folder where the .exe file is located and this shared folder has read/write access.

2. chose Standard program, under Standard program, created a Name, command line selected the .exe file, nothing under startup folder, under run is normal, under program can run: only when a user is logged on, and run mode is: run with admin rights, drive mode is: runs with UNC name

3. Platform requirements: This program can run on any platform, estimated disk space: Unknown MB, maximum allowed run time: 120

4. Deployed to the desired collection, specified distribution points, under purpose selected available, for the schedule, schedule availability is ticked but nothing on the expiry, under the section that says: When the scheduled assignment time is reached: I've ticked Software installation, for deployment options both setup to download content from distribution point and run locally. Finished the wizard, Performed update of distribution points.

FYI, tried a different .exe file and same issue

Another FYI, when app is available under software center, it is successful in ownloading but fails in installing

Thanks in advance!

SCCM 2012 - Software Inventory (different product names)

Hello

I just try to use software inventory feature and encountered such problem: some software, in particular, for example, WinRAR, changes its name depending on the version of the operating system on which it is installed.
That is, for example, in the paramenters of report 02D, from which we must take the "right" inventoried software titles, WinRAR listed four different products:

WinRAR 4.20 (32-bit)
WinRAR 4.20 (32-разрядная)
WinRAR 4.20 (64-bit)
WinRAR 4.20 (64-разрядная)

But in csv-file I should write exact title of software. So, what I should do? :)

ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 Repair fails when content is not in local client cache

Hi,

I'm running a SCCM 2012 SP1 environment and need to use the possibility to Repair/Change MSI's that are installed by SCCM. The MSI productcode is filled in in the relevant field and on all clients I see that the Windows Installer Source List Updater updates the package sources successfully. However, when I try to repair an application, I get a popup stating that the content cannot be found. In the drop down that appears, I see the distribution points for that specific site and when I copy the url, I can access it without issues.

Anybody have any experience with this? Is there anything I might have missed?

Thanks for your help!

SCCM 2012 Application Deploy - Working and yet not working. W2K3 issue?

June 12, 2013, 8:02 am

I set up an application deployment of an .exe file to install AV in our enviroment. I have pushed this down to 2 machine types....

1. Windows 7 'host' physical machine

2. Windows server 2003 R2 virtual machine

The application deploys perfect on the Windows 7 machine with no issues

It also downloads to the W2K3 machines and starts running the EXE file as seen in task manager. It however does nothing past this point, it sits there with 0% CPU utilisation until the job times out (set for 4hrs). It is set to run as the SYSTEM account but I have a feeling that it requires something else to complete installation.

This has been driving me nuts for 3 days now. Any help would be extremely appreciated..... what am I doing wrong / or what am I missing?

Job is set up to match the Win7 working deployment - set to system install wether or not a user is logged in. No dependancies / requirements set.

I pushed out a BAT file to run using the same process and that worked ok on the W2K3 machines. So it looks narrowed down to the SYSTEM account installing EXE files?

Software inventory has a low "SoftwareCount"

I've always had software inventory enabled, but nothing ever showed up under "inventoried software".  I just dug in to the other day and found that in the Edit Inventory Classes, I didn't have "SMS_InstalledSoftware" checked.  So, I did that, and now I am showing a lot of software - but the counts are way too low.  For instance, all of our clients have Microsoft Office installed, but the high count for Excel is 217.  This should easily be over 1,000.  I have made sure that the software.  I forced 160 machines to run the software inventory action, but the numbers have not changed.  At what point should I see this number start to jump?  Is there something I need to be doing through the console to get it to update?

Hi everyone,

We have some issues applying software updates to our servers in the correct maintenance Windows.

To identify the problems I've looked at the client log Updatesdeployment.log but it only contains log entries a few minutes back. It seems to me that it log rotates is way to fast.

Is there any way to configure how the client rotates its log files?

SCCM 2012 SP1 CU1 and APP-V 4.6 SP2

Hi

Trying to get an simple APP-V application to deploy in a SCCM 2012 SP1 CU1 environment. The Desktop is a Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise x64.

  • The Desktop has App-V Client 4.6 SP2 installed and also APP-V Client 5.0 SP1
  • The APP-V Application in SCCM 2012 is packaged in accordance with the 4.6 Application type and is calling a .xml manifest file.

I have setup a deployment to target the Windows 7 system mentioned above - the deployment appears in software center and fails - there is very little in the log files to indicate why it is failing.

The APP-V Clients were installed manually prior to SCCM 2012 Environment was installed - however there are no customised settings in the app-v client install.

Any Advice would be appreciated

Uninstall Deployment Not Working

June 12, 2013, 12:20 pm

I'm trying to remove Office and Lync from a machine and I software center doesn't seem to be cooperating.  I have a collection for a department that uses Salesforce for Outlook.  As part of this collection Office 2010, Lync 2010, and Salesforce for Outlook are required.  Salesforce has just released an upgrade to support Office 2010.  I created a new collection and deployed the same three programs with the uninstall action and required.  When I move a machine to this collection and refresh the policy Office and Lync disappear from software center without uninstalling and Salesforce says it is waiting for the next maintenance window.  If I tell it to run now it uninstalls perfectly.  The problem is with Office and Lync.  To test my remove command I moved the machine to a collection where Office and Lync 2010 were available and not required.  I refreshed the policy and software center saw that they were already installed.  With the uninstall button available I used that and both Lync and Office uninstalled successfully and silently as per the command lines in the deployment type.  The detection method for Lync is to find the MSI code and Office is set to the Office 14 directory in Program Files.  All that seems to be working fine and even though the programs are installed it doesn't detect them in the other collection.  Salesforce seems to display and uninstall correctly it is just the MS products that disappear and don't even try.

I'm very new to SCCM so I'm not sure if this is the correct process.  My goal is to automatically remove Office 2010, Lync 2010, and the old version of Salesforce and install our Office 2013 package and the new Salesforce automatically during our maintenance weekend.  I don't want to superceed Office 2010 with Office 2013 because we still have some users that require the old version.

Here are my uninstall commands, again the uninstall works if I click the button, but the required remove deployment doesn't run.

Office:

\\SCCM\source$\Apps\Microsoft\Office\365\2010\x64\OfficeProPlus\Source\setup.exe /uninstall ProPlusSub /config  \\SCCM\source$\Apps\Microsoft\Office\365\2010\x64\OfficeProPlus\Source\ProPlusSub.WW\uninstall.xml

Uninstall.xml:

<Configuration Product="ProPlusSub">

<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />

</Configuration>

Lync:

msiexec /x {81BE0B17-563B-45D4-B198-5721E6C665CD} /q

I need to test this and get it to successfully run on a test machine without affecting the users currently running these deployments.  Any help would be very much appreciated.

updating packages in tasksequence for os deployment

How can I best update/replace a package that was originally installed in the tasksequence during the OS deployment.  

During OS deployment we used the tasksequence to install Acrobat reader X. Now we have Version XI. Replacing it in the task sequence will result in all new deployments having the new version. But what would be the best way to have version X being replaced by version XI on all systems that were deployed before?

Thanks for your help.

I want to use task sequence to roll out 3 ps1 scripts to implement the hp warranty into wmi.     The task sequence works perfectly but I don't want it to appear for users to see.    I would like to supress it or somehow make it to where it only runs when no user logged in.

I've seen the close box action by vbs or powershell but that only quickly closes the progress bar box.  It does not completely hide it.

Java deployment with SCCM

I have tried to push Java out with the MSI and currently using the .exe.  I see the application hit the desktop, says it's installing on the software center.  Sits there for a long period of time, and does nothing?  I have checked the client logs and I do not see anything flagged in them.  I am using the /s after the exe file for silent install and have those settings matched on the SCCM package.

What the heck am I doing wrong here?  This has been the worst app I have ever tried to deploy!

Hi, our company would like to setup a reverse proxy for remote users access. We would like to implement Lotus Traveller and our Global partner recommended a plan for security purposes. and the front facing the internet would be our reverse proxy.

For SysAdmins using this technology, what would you recommend? IIS ARR? or MS UAG?

Which is easier to configure?

Application Supersedence Software Center - Application Catalog: Superseded Application is being installed

Hi together,

I've got a question: Several computers are member of a Device Collection where an application is required (let's name it APP 1.0). We've got another version APP 2.0 which supersedes APP 1.0. APP 2.0 is not being deployed by Software Center, but only visible in Application Catalog as available. The user - on whose computer APP 1.0 is required installed - installs APP 2.0. Following happens then: APP 1.0 will be automatically uninstalled, APP 2.0 will be installed afterwards. Until this point, everything is ok. But when the client agent cycles run the next time, APP 1.0 will be installed again, even if the newer version is installed.

Is this normal behavior?

Let me start by saying that I am new to SCCM 2012.

I have pushed out the client side install for SCCM 2012 and 90% of the users are working well and I am able to push installs and connect to them remotely.

I have a few users who are getting the following error. I have looked online and can't find anything relating to this particular issue.

SCNotificatino has stopped working.

Description: Stopped working
Problem Event Name: CLR20r3
Problem Signature 01:scnotification.exe

Problem Signature 09: IOIBMURHYNRXKW0ZXKRVFN0BOYYUFOW
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.4
Locale ID: 1033

The users say that it pops up in the morning and does so a number of times and then stops and they are able to work again.

Can someone please let me know why this might be happening?

Thanks
