If I deploy application with install and uninstall program as available and required what is the difference? Required will install silently and user can able to uninstall program? Available user needs to install or uninstall (user interact required for both install and uninstall?

Expert,

We have requirement to deploy a application with extension "EXE" with SCCM 2012 Global condition. Understand the SCCM 2012 Global condition is leveraged only for New application model (I mean MSI application), Is this possible to deploy an application (EXE) with SCCM 2012 Global condition. Please advice.

Thanks, Siva

I am trying to setup an application that will install RDC and BITS using powershell and the ServerManager module.  I have set the PowerShell execution policy to Bypass.  From the deployment I am runningpowershell.exe -file .\script.ps1.  This does not seem to work.  If I change the command topowershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -file .\script.ps1 then that seems to work.  Can someone explain how this client setting referenced below is supposed to work?  I assumed that setting this to "Bypass" would allow the PowerShell script to run without having to customize the command line.  Also what about the powershell scripts that can be used to determine if an application is already installed?

Dear Experts,

We are planning to deploy Non-Microsoft Updates like Adobe Reader XI, Adobe Flash Player to End User's..

SCUP 2011 is installed on Windows 8.1 Computer with RSAT

WSUS is installed on SCCM Primary Site Server - Which is Windows Server 2012 R2

WSUS is working perfectly, and the Microsoft Patches are getting deployed to End User devices without any issues.

Also, the SCUP 2011 installation and Configuration is completed successfully.

WSUS is getting sync with SCUP 2011, All the Published Updates (From SCUP 2011) is getting shown on SCCM Console.

Challenge: 

Now, the actual challenge is "All this Updates are showing as Metadata Only" .  While Publishing those Updates from SCUP 2011 - Have tried to Publish as "Full Content". 

Since the SCCM Console, does not allows to download the Updates, Tried to Publish different set of updates as"Automatic".

Unable to deploy those updates (Adobe Reader, and Flash Player).

SCUP 2011 Log's and WSyncmgr.LOG (From SCCM Site Server Shows)

Updates are downloaded, and synced.

Is this because of any Self-Signed Certificates? - Please some one help us - Thank you all in Advance!!

Hi,

Do you use App-V shared content store (http://virtualvibes.co.uk/introducing-shared-content-store-in-app-v-5-0-goodbye-read-only-shared-cache/) if you do, what are your experiences with it?

You use it particulary for terminal servers and streaming, correct (don't see use on Windows client machines)?

Hi!

Upgrading some software with a task sequence, I need to reboot and run a script during so I can't use application supersedence. The problem is that the computers that need to run this TSQ have a very slow network connection so I really need to Pre-deploy it. I can't get it to work. I schedule the task sequence to be available a few hours before the assignment but it still download everything at run time.

Deployment options is set to "Download all content locally before starting task sequence".

Is this by design? Do I have to create a package or application that runs a script that installs everything?

Thanks!

So when i click on the available application and tick the box in software centre and click "install selected" it jumps to the "Installation status" tab but then nothing happens. Waiting a bit (sometimes upto 10 minutes) and pressing F5 shows the application back in available software, rinse and repeat it never actually appears to do anything. In fact if i press F5 immediately after pressing "install selected" it does exactly the same, just re-appears in available software.

This is not the first and not the only application this has happened with, in the past generally just waiting a day seemed to remove the issue or I moved onto something else and forgot, its quite annoying

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I'm deploying dotnet 4.5.1 to some Windows 7 machines but have errors for some machines only (some do work fine -50 percent- which indicate a timeout).

The only thing I can see is that it starts (C:\Windows\ccmcache\a\Program\setup.exe /quiet /norestart) but no logging whatsoever after it.

Please advise.

Hi Everyone,

I have 2 batch files. First batch file is supposed to copy the 2nd batch file to the client's StartupFolder of the client and 2nd batch file is supposed to kill a task on the client.

1st Batch file contains the code below:

copy /y "%~dp0killmytask.bat" "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" 

So, I created a package and pointed my bat file in Command Line area. Because I will deploy this package to the clients which are not in my local network, I think I can not use UNC name. So I selected "Requires drive letter" option. Program can run "whether or not a user logged on".

All I need is to copy a file via SCCM  to the client's startup folder. Can you please verify if my batch file coding is correct. 

Or am I doing something else wrong? Thanks a lot.

I'm having a problem with the Application Catalog where, when I go to install an application, I receive the error message "Cannot install or request software". This is happening after imaging a computer with a 32-bit Windows 7 SP1 image. What's strange is that the Application Catalog works fine in Firefox and Chrome; it only gives this error in Internet Explorer (version 9 is in the image). Reinstalling the SCCM client does not resolve the problem. I verified that the sccm server is in trusted sites. The Application Catalog does work correctly in IE in my 64-bit Win7 SP1 image.

I've pasted below the contents of ConfigMgrSoftwareCatalog.log  There are two errors near the bottom but I couldn't find much info about them; everything I could find indicated that it could be a problem with the client communicating with the management point, but since Firefox and Chrome work I don't think that's the case. I don't see any errors in LocationServices.log but I do see "MPLIST requests are throttled for 00:04:45" occasionally.

I have deployed an Office 2013 application to users but there was found to be a known bug in the files from Microsoft (http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2014/03/11/lync-2013-and-onedrive-for-business-are-not-installed-when-installing-office-2013-with-service-pack-1.aspx)

These users were already upgraded with this bug and I would like to now upgrade them again with the latest files. I created a new deployment for this. Since they already have Office 2013, and this new deployment is Office 2013, will it work? Or will SCCM think that Office 2013 is already installed and will skip the install?

When running Security Update KB3058515 and after blocking any updates of IE 9 our client IE 9 instances were updated by KB2841134.

How could this happen if our Filtering was blocking any updates of IE 9?

Use the CD that comes with the installation environment detection tools

  \ SMSSETUP \ BIN \ X64 \ PREREQCHK.EXE / LOCAL.

Reports say the wrong version of SQL.

I am using SQL2012 Enterprise Core Edition activation code.

 What should I do?

Folks,  

hands up, I dont know, and 4 hours of trawling WWW and various blogs has brought no joy.  What exactly goes in the CCM\CIDownloader\Staging  folder,  we have a "rogue" client that has 42GB of files in there, and I cant fathom out where this is all coming from.

No applications deployed except software updates

Quite literally,  whats in there ?  Then I can start looking at what the issue might be

uber thanks

Hi All,

We are Planning to deploy Non-Microsoft Updates using SCUP+SCCM 2012 R2 CU5 in my environment.

Initial Phase:

We are Planning to do it in PoC

Our Current Infrastructure is 

Windows Sever 2012 R2 ---> SCCM 2012 R2 CU5 + WSUS 

Windows 8 ---> SCUP 2011 + RSAT

SCUP 2011 is Configured with SCCM 2012 R2 Site Server and WSUS Site Server, The Updates are getting Published from SCUP to SCCM 2012 R2, but those updates are showing as Expired.

On SCCM Site Server :

For Primary Site (Only 1 Primary Site now ) - Configured with SUP , with Required Products. Supersede also extended up to 3 Months (No immediate Supersede Selected)

Since all this Non-Microsoft Updates are showing as Expired (Even it is Active), Unable to download. Any Suggestions Pls.

I do see that few articles refers to install Hot fix for WSUS 3.0 SP2 for WS2012 R2, Is that Hot fix is required? 

Any help is really appreciated..

Thank you..

Hi,

Let me refer to this article about shared content storage on App-V.
I would like to set it up for terminal servers, but want to make sure the App-V distribution point is high available. How can we do that? Just setup several distribution points?
When a reboot occurs, the App-V client will then automatically get its content from another DP?

Please advise.

I have a some Package-based Programs published to my Application Catalog that I need to span multiple categories (like an Application does). I've experimented with various separators hoping to hit on a syntax combo that the Application Catalog website would like but (so far) nothing seems to work. Beginning to wonder if this is even possible and hoping someone here knows for certain. So taking this as an example, note the category field (in yellow): 

Now what I'm doing below doesn't work for Package Programs but it does work for Application Deployments. I think it gets across what I'm trying to accomplish:
