Good Morning,

I have a scenario and looking for some clarity.

I have app version 1 to be superseeded by app version 2

NOT all machines have version 1 but some do so i have set superseedence up.

The issue i am getting is on machines without the original application it is not installing correctly, its failing the check saying 1605 error, dependent application could not be uninstalled.

Should the superseedence only apply if the original application is installed, that was my belief so i could use this based on the fact it would uninstall old if present and install new, or just install new if app version 1 is not installed?

Any clarification would be good.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm trying to setup an application in SCCM 2012 R2. When I start the application setup wizard I select "Automically detect information about this application from installation files:"

I select my msi file location and then get to the part where you enter the installation switches, this is what I have tried:

msiexec /i /q "myprogram.msi" 

and

msiexec /i "myprogram.msi" /q

Obviously I'm trying to get a quite install so that the user sees no overlay.

After trying both I get The software change returned error code 0x667(1639). Which translates to Invalid command line argument. 

Can anyone please give me advice on what would be the correct syntax for the command I am trying to execute?

Hello Folks,

I have a simple task sequence that install/update HP Management Home Page(HP SMH). I have created task sequence in a way that.

1. Create a Local Folder - "cmd /c "if not exist c:\postconfig md c:\postconfig""

2. Copy execution files locally - "cmd /c xcopy /s /e /i /c *.* c:\postconfig"

3. Install - cmd /c c:\postconfig\x64\executable.exe /s /f -- Separated for 64 bit and 32 bit

4. Remove Build files - cmd /c "if exist c:\postconfig rd /s /q c:\postconfig"

I made this task sequence as available so that I can install when ever I want, Problem is when install this from software center I am receiving Task Sequence error with error code 0x00000001 in software center. But system management homepage updated to version I want. Eventually this completes my task. But I am curious to why I am receiving task sequence error.

I looked at SMSTS log, I found couple of errors. Below is grab from SMSTS Log. Could someone please look at it and tell me why it is failing. (Sorry that I am week in reading/identifying errors in SCCM Logs)

Expert,

We are looking for customization in Popup Notification after installation of Software/Patch installation in the end user device. Is there any possibility to customize the notification? please advice. Thanks.

Shiva.

I'm trying to install Live Meeting 2007 client v806362.215 under SCCM 2012 application model using the .MSI.  "I get a message that says the installer was interrupted before Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2007 could be installed.  You need to restart the installer to try again." (see attached)

researching the message indicates that there was an issue with the elevated permissions (system account) that the install was trying to use.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I have several issues with deploying App-V 5.0 packages to users on terminal servers.

One of them, is that users can’t see the shortcut, if I copy it manually to their startmenu, it works fine so the application itself is properly installed.

My question now is how to repair/reinstall the App-V package for 1 single user. Tried it via Powershell and App-V (publish/unpublish) but that did not work.

-the script-

$User = "myuser"
$PackageName = "*application*"
$objUser = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount($User)
$strSID = $objUser.Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier])
$SIDUSER = $strSID.Value
$AppVpackage = Get-AppvClientPackage $PackageName -all
Unpublish-AppvClientPackage $AppVpackage  -UserSID $SIDUSER -verbose
Publish-AppvClientPackage *autom* $SIDUSER -Verbose
-

But then I figured out, actually the sccm client has to do the work and not sure if I can intervene with firing up powershell App-v commands(?)

Once an App-V package is in use by a user (100 users are on terminals server), a repair in App-V GUI isn’t possible (since it’s in use).

So now I’m looking for a nice way to reinitiate (reinstall, repair) via the SCCM client or via the GUI (why on earth a user can’t repair his user settings if other users have the general package “in use”).

Please advise.
J.

Hi

Any one explain me back ground process flow of  software updates in sccm 2012.

Hello,

I am a newbie when it comes to System Center Manager, and am hoping you can help me out with an issue that I am having at the moment. The school district that I work for has older software that we are using for students learning throughout the year. I am wondering if you can walk me step by step on how to install this older software. I am not sure if it can even be done. I also would like to know how to deploy it out to the machines that only need that software? I have thirty machines that need Adobe Creative Suite 3, Google Sketchup, Blender, etc. Can I block out only those machines, and install that software? I also have a secure browser from NWEA that needs installed on every machine in the district, I believe that is an MSI file, how would I distribute that as well. We have a gentleman that setup our SCCM, and he said that older software typically can not be installed using SCCM. Is this true? Will I need to touch every machine in the district in order to install this software?

Thank you in advance, I appreciate it!!

Hello everyone!

I have imported a generic license key into SCCMs asset intelligence. When I ran the 15A report I noticed the information I imported (more specifically the program name) didn't match what was inventoried, thus not comparing the # of keys I have versus used. I then edited the name of the program in the inventory, but alas I was caught off guard by the version. Is there anyway I can edit the imported license key either through SQL or another menu in the config manager? Thanks for the help!

Hi Experts,

Thanks in advance.

I've been tasked with packaging the new version of Silverlight (5.1.40416) and deploying it out through SCCM and thought I would share my experience so far and ask the community for their thoughts/ideas. 

Our environment and general points:

- We have multiple versions existing on client machines 2.0, 3.0. 4.0.x, 5.1.x

- We only have 5.1.10411 packaged already in SCCM but someone else but it hasn't been used

- We don't have Update rollups or Feature Packs enabled in our SUP

- All previous versions of Silverlight have the same Product Code

 - the /noupdate switch doesn't apply to the .msi file so this will have to be managed by SCCM baselines or Group Policy

Possible Deployment scenarios:

- Package Silverlight 5.1.40416 as an Application with detection method of Product Code AND file=version 5.1.40412 then use one of the following methods to uninstall the previous versions

• Create Applications for all previous Silverlight versions (using Product code and file version as the detection method) and add to the Supersedence tab of 5.1.404.16 with 'uninstalled' ticked
• Edit the 5.1.10411 Application and add to detection methods file = version for 5.1.10411 as well as all previous versions (To save creating an Application for all old Silverlight versions) then add to the Supersedence tab of 5.1.404.16 with 'uninstalled' ticked. If you don't add the fil = version then the application will get stuck in a loop, installing and uninstalling
• Create a CleanSilverlight.cmd file which removes all Silverlight directories and registry entries (from Microsoft). Add this as an Application with a detection method of a registry entry it creates after it has run. Then add this as a dependency for 5.1.40416

- Don't  package Silverlight and just enable Feature Packs and Update Rollups and let Software updates handle this

• I have read this doesn't work correctly, versions 3.0 and below don't update and error?
• Also, it will add risk to our environment in case one of the engineers adds an IE rollup to a deployment by mistake

- Create it as a Package rather than an Application which should allow Silverlight to update already existing versions.

- Create an Application TS to uninstall the old versions and then install the new version

Application packaging:

- I will packaged Silverlight as an Application using an msi file. First I ran msiexec /a silverlight.msi /p silverlight.msp /q which produced the PFiles folder. I copied the msi, msp and pfiles folder to SCCM source directory and then deployed with the following command:

• msiexec /i silverlight.msi /q /LiV c:\temp\Silverlight5.1.40416.log
• I may well remove the /LiV option, which creates a log file, after testing has finished

Questions

• Does the SUP Software updates actually work when upgrading and installing Silverlight?
• Is there another, better way to do this?
• Can you run an msp command line in an application?

I used the following links when working on this:

• http://www.itninja.com/software/microsoft/silverlight/5-2022
• http://www.markcorsillo.com/?p=130
• http://sccm2012notes.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/controlling-silverlight-auto-updates.html

Hello folks!

I am trying to understand how SCCM determines which order to deploy packages when you have multiple deployments to the same collection. Could someone explain this scenario or link to any online blog, articles, etc that explain how this process works?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have Window 7 64bit environment with Office 2010 and Lync 2013 apps installed.

i want to update Lync 2013 to Skype for Business clients.

i created Application deployment in SCCM, see it in Software center in client side, installation starts with status Installing and goes forever.

i can see exe files in C:\Windows\ccmcache folder on client.

and then error as below:

the software change returned error code 0x87d00213(-2016411117)

what is the reason? i cannot update lync 2013 from sccm.

thanks beforehand.

Hi,

I found a list which described all the error codes which Software Centre throws back when application installs/unistalls fail. Stupidly I did not save this and now I cannot find it. Does anyone have the list describing what each error code means?

Thanks.

Can you please help me with a query language for detection the version for .NET Framework in my Windows 7 and 8 or 8.1 computers?  I need to know basically the ones that are below 4.0 but one that gets me all versions showing me the computer name its just fine.

Thank you very much for the help.

I have a task sequence that uninstall/installs multiple applications. I deployed the task sequence, setting it as available and it has been working without issue. However, I would like for it to be required to run on a couple of collections I have. I have been testing the required deployment. I set it to run as soon as possible and on log in but in both cases it doesn't work.

It shows up in Software Center saying it is "Installed" although it appears it never ran. I haven't ever used Task sequences outside of OSD so I'm not sure the best way of troubleshooting this.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I tried to deploy an application and saw in the report that i add 75 unkown computers

As i look at the computers i saw that the client was installed and showing as YES in my console?

If i go on the computer client i can see the client installed but in action i only have 2 choices...

Also if i go in components i see CCM NOTIFICATION AGENT as disabled the rest of the items are ok.

Can someone help with this issue

I also saw another issue with a few computers where in the console showing as NO but on the computer the client his installed same thing with CCM NOTIFICATION AGENT DISABLED and also the same 2 choices in action.

I am planning on deploying applications over 1 GB in size to multiple locations with slower (T1 Lines) links. I have specific deadline with date and time to trigger this and have this application deployed.

Is there any way i can Pre-Cache these 1 GB applications ahead of time and when the date and time comes it gets installed? I do not want Clients to start downloading applications on the deadline date and time because its over a 1 GB file and will take long time., However i want them to have them installed on particular date and time considering slow Bandwidth.

Hello guys,

I have refer to below post and trying to deploy MS VISIO, Project, visual studio:

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/35059fcc-fee4-4253-8935-31cda1a62239/how-to-deploy-ms-visio-ms-project-via-sccm-2012?forum=configmanagerapps

Even following step by steps, my deployments are stuck on client machines saying "Waiting to begin the installation" and then "Past due - will be installed"

I made sure "Additional software manages the deployment" is already set to NO

Maintenance window is not an issue:

Also if I push any other application, eg: 7 zip. it works just fine.

Please suggest.

Hey Guys,

My Application Catalog had been chugging along nicely for the past 11 months or so, until this morning. It began displaying the "Cannot Connect to Application Server" error.

I saw the corresponding log(s) in the server log (Logs from a day ago, showed proper functionality and count=1):

[55, PID:4828][12/04/2013 08:48:48] :FindCertificate - Found certs via FindByThumbprint, count = 0

[55, PID:4828][12/04/2013 08:48:48] :FindCertificate - No matching certs found

[55, PID:4828][12/04/2013 08:48:48] :DefaultApplicationOfferService - opening channel via client proxy

[55, PID:4828][12/04/2013 08:48:48] :System.InvalidOperationException: The client certificate is not provided. The certificate thumbprint in the web.config did not match any certificate in the SMS cert store.

Eventually, I traced this back to the Server's machine certificate (verses "client", as stated in the log, this lead me astray for awhile) autoenrolled/autorenewed last night, as it was expiring in a month or two. While IIS kept using the "renewed" cert (as I expected it to) For whatever reason, IIS, Windows, SCCM, or whatever (in my opinion "should have" ) never updated the "CertificateThumbprint" values in the Web.Config files for CMApplicationCatalog and CMApplicationCatalogSVC which look to have been set at initial install.

I had to manually update these values in both Web.Config files with the "new" thumbprint for this cert. After doing this, and restarting IIS, it began working immediately.

My question is, is this expected behavior? a bug? am I doing something incorrectly in my autoenroll/renew settings?
