I setup an uninstall deployment using the same same App but just with the Uninstall action,  and im getting an Following error

I was indeed in a collection that was receiving it. It was an ALL OU devices collections, so i remove it and now im not inside. I also found a Program that was running the same deployment and i DELETE that deployment.  So basically im not receiving it, but it didnt change my status.

Here you can see im only receiving the remove one

What should i do?


Package Continues To Fail Weekly Content Validation

$

0

I have two packages that are distributed to four distribution points in a single distribution point group. Every Sunday when content validation runs, the two packages continue to fail content validation only on one of the four distribution points. The package is configured to copy the content to a package share on the distribution points.

The package has been deleted and recreated, but it still continues to fail content validation. An interesting note is that when the packages are notconfigured to copy the contents to a package share on the distribution points, they pass content validation.

When content validation does fail (when copy the content is set), the SMSDPMON log shows the following bad news.

[Package A]

My assumption is that the content library might be jacked. I am thinking that I might have to rebuild the distribution point. Does anyone have any other suggestions for troubleshooting and rectifying this situation? Is there a way to rebuild the content library without rebuilding the distribution point? The error code 0x80070003mentioned above, suggests the system cannot find the path specified. I have verified both paths exists... Whatever is occurring is beyond me.

Package and applications content locations

Hello,

I am working on a new task sequence that will deploy windows 7 and Office 2013.
I already have an existing application for Office 2013 because we have already upgraded office for some computers.
I would like to keep the application because I need to use some of the features like the detection method, dependencies, supersedence...
In my task sequence, I would prefer to use a package because I had a bad experience with applications in my task sequence...
Can I use the same content location for the package and the application since I will use the same source files ?
Or should I copy the content to another folder for the package ?

Thanks,

Certificate requirements for AppX Sideloading Deployments

$
0
0

I am trying to formulate a process for sideloading AppX applications that are provided by 3rd party companies. We are using SCCM 2012 and Windows 8.1 Enterprise.

I approached the vendor of an application we want to use and they have very kindly provided us with the AppX and it's dependencies, and also a self signed certificate that was obviously created using Visual Studio when they created the application.

I don't think it's sustainable to deploy a certificate with every single metro application we wish to deploy. I have read all the documentation and I just want to clarify exactly what it is we need to ask these 3rd parties to do before we can deploy their applications as I'm not finding it very clear.

Am I right in saying we want them to sign their applications with a global Authenticode code signing certificate that will work for all of their applications, and then provide this certificate to us? At least that way we have one certificate per vendor which is a lot easier to manage.

If that's not possible then I think we would have to deploy a self signed certificate with each application which seems a bit strange to me, so I feel like I am missing something really obvious!

How to Create a package(.vbs, .exe, .msi) with uninstall option in SCCM 2012

$
0

Since i am new to SCCM 2012, i have used default way to create a package(.vbs) in SCCM. The package has been created and i deployed to a collection of Windows 7 machines and the machines also received the package in Software Center under "Available Software"

I installed the application using "Install" option under available software tab in SCCM Software Center 2012. When i try to uninstall the same application from Software Center, i didnt get an UNINSTALL option instead i am getting an REINSTALL option only under "Installation Status" tab. Moreover i didnt get any information about the package under "Installed Software" even after i installed it. I would like to know how to create a package with below two options. Please guide me through the process.

1. Option to uninstall the package after i installed from Software Center.

2. Installed Packages has to be listed under "Installed software" tab.

Note: I have applications in all the following formats .vbs, .exe, .msi.

Thanks in Advance,

Upgrade Lync 2010 client to Skype for Business

Hi,

I know there are lots of posts out there explaining the various ways of upgrading the Lync 2010 client to Lync 2013 (In my case I want to include the updates for the Skype for Business Interface) but do not seem to be having any joy at all.

I would like to take advantage of the Supersedence feature however have a few queries;

-How would I add both of the clients to SCCM, as an MSI or script installer (.exe)?

-What are the recommended command line switches for whichever of the above is recommended?

I have also tried to achieve this by creating an MSP file with the OCT as I believe this is supposed to uninstall previous versions of Lync. With this I seem to be getting the below error in the AppEnforce.log;

Invalid data file "setup.exe /adminfile RemoveLync2010.msp" to execute using file association

Just wondering if anyone has any further recommendations or methods?

Regards

Leon

WOL - right click tools

Hi,

I have the now micro right click tools installed with configmgr 2012 r2 sp1. When I use the Wake on LAN feature of the right click tools it only wakes PC's that are on my local subnet. But then when I try to wake a PC on a different subnet it won't wake it up.

Is this expected behaviour of the now micro right click tools?

Thanks

Quicker Application Deployment

$

Our images come pre-applied from the manufacturer with the SCCM client installed. Upon receipt the PCs are joined to the domain and then applications are installed manually. 

I am doing a proof of concept that deploys applications based on the AD OU in which the computer object resides. It works well except for the fact that you have to wait 15-30 minutes between the computer being joined to the domain and applications being installed. Even after forcing a "Machine Policy Retrieval & Evaluation Cycle." Is there a way to force the client to install required applications immediately? 

Application Deployment Type - Properties - Import Requirements

$
0
0

Is it possible to import a pre-set list of requirements into an application deployment type?

We update large packages, like Autodesk, to entirely new versions every year, and put in 20 or so requirements to restrict it to particular locations.

The locations don't change every year, but when we build new applications for deployment we have to add each location as a requirement one at a time. Then we deploy the application to the top OU and only those that meet the requirements install it.

I would really like a way to import those requirements, but if there is a better method for this kind of deployment, feel free to suggest it.

Unable to delete a CM update package

Hi,

I have a "SP1 CU 3 - x64 client update" package in SCCM. I was unable to do anything with it due to it being locked when the the console crashed. I have freed it up however when I try to delete it I get the message:

"Cannot edit the object because it is waiting for replication updates".

I've waited but it always shows this message. The package source location does not exist on the CAS (where I'm trying to delete it).

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Creating a USER collection based on DEVICE location using USER DEVICE affinity

$

I am attempting to create a USER COLLECTION based on USER WQL.  I am attempting to identify users at specific BOUNDARIES [subnets] using user device affinity.  I am able to create the SQL for this as follows:

SELECT COLL.ResourceID, COLL.Name, VIP.IP_Addresses0,VSYS.User_name0, VSYS.AD_Site_Name0, VSYS.Distinguished_Name0, VSYS.Last_Logon_Timestamp0

FROM [CM_C01].[dbo].[v_CM_RES_COLL_C0100340] AS COLL

INNER JOIN [CM_C01].[dbo].[v_R_System] AS VSYS ON VSYS.ResourceID = COLL.ResourceID
INNER JOIN [CM_C01].[dbo].[v_RA_System_IPAddresses] AS VIP ON VIP.ResourceID = COLL.ResourceID
WHERE VSYS.User_Name0 IS NOT NULL AND
VIP.IP_Addresses0 NOT LIKE 'f[d-e]%'

ORDER BY Name, User_Name0

I am able to get very similar results in WQL as follows with a limiting DEVICE collection as follows:

select UMR.ResourceId, UMR.UniqueUserName
from SMS_R_System AS SR
inner join SMS_UserMachineRelationship AS UMR on
UMR.ResourceID = SR.ResourceId 
where
UMR.Types = 1 AND 
SR.LastLogonUserName IS NOT NULL.

However this is WQL cannot be used in a USER COLLECTION.  Is there a way to create a USER COLLECTION to get what I want?

Application Supersedence not working as I want and expect!

$
0
0

Hello,

I need help to find out how to properly deploy an upgraded application using the SCCM 2012 Application supersedence.

What I have

  1. One application in production with version 1.0. Let us call it APPL-BLUE1.0
  2. New application of the same product with version 2.0. Let us call it APPL-RED2.0

What I want to achieve (the goal)

Users should be notified via the Software Center that a new update is available. The new update should not be installed until the user is ready and manually triggers the installation via the Software Center.

My configuration settings

On application APPL-RED2.0 I have gone to Properties -> Supsersedence and added the APPL-BLUE1.0 to the Supsersdence list. Replacement Deployment Type is configured (set to the Deployment type for the APPL-RED2.0) and the Uninstall checkbox is checked (to uninstall the APPL-BLUE1.0 deployment type first).

Install behaviour for APPL-RED2.0 is "Install for system" and "Whether or not a user is logged on" with Normal visibility.

Then I create the Deployment which I have tried three different ways.

  1. Action: Install, Purpose: Available, "Automatically upgrade any superseded versions of this application"unchecked.
  2. Action: Install, Purpose: Available, "Automatically upgrade any superseded versions of this application" checked.
  3. Action: Install, Purpose: Required, "Automatically upgrade any superseded versions of this application" checked (forced, greyed out).

What happens

  1. The application is not automatically made available in the users Software Center at all. No notification is presented and the user has to access the installation by looking in the Application Cataloguefirst. Once found in the Application Catalogue the installation runs without problems but this means that the user must somehow know there is a new version available through other means.
  2. The application is automatically installed (without regard to whether or not the application is in use) on the client and a notification is presented on the users machine (Software Center).
  3. Exactly the same result as for #2.

This conflicts with what I want to achieve. I want a notification and that the application is automatically made available for installation in the Software Center but I do not want it to automatically upgrade but rather let the user initiate the installation whe he or she is ready (i.e. when the application is not in use).

Please point me in the right direction in order to accomplish this.

Thank you.

Superseding Application Installed when NOT deployed and NOT set to Automatically Upgrade

SCCM 2012 SP1  

I have an application of Adobe Reader X which is deployed as "available" to the "All Workstations" collection.  (It is also installed as part of our OSD task sequence for all workstations, if that matters.) 

Some months ago I packaged Adobe Reader XI and did NOT set it to supersede Adobe Reader X.  It was deployed as available to a small user collection.

Flash forward to yesterday.  I wanted Reader XI to be available to all IS staff, but not to automatically install for any of them or to automatically replace existing Reader X installs for anyone.   I went into my existing Adobe Reader XI application and set it to supersede the Adobe Reader X deployment type.  I then deployed Adobe Reader XI as "Available" to my "IS Staff" user collection and did NOT select the "Automatically upgrade any superseded versions of this application." 

Overnight, all existing installs of Adobe Reader X were replaced by Adobe Reader XI on all workstations that were powered on during the maintenance window.  I was understandably surprised and double-checked my deployment settings.  It *is* deployed as "available" to all IS staff and to the pre-existing user collection.  and verified that I do not have Adobe Reader XI deployed to ANY other collections other than the original small user collection and now to my IS Staff collection, both as "Available".

I checked APPINTENTEVAL.log on some of the affected workstations and noted that once I had created the supersedence relationship, all workstations that I've checked started logging as "Applicability = Applicable" and as soon as the maintenance window started, they installed.

I'm very confused.  I've used Application Supersedence many times, and it has never applied to a collection to which the superseding application was not deployed.  Can anyone suggest a mechanism I might have missed that made this app evaluate as applicable on every workstation that had Reader X deployed to it?  I'm confident that it should have have.

Application Deployment Catch 22

$

I have an application that I need to use a PowerShell command for its detection that the cmdlet isn't available until Windows Management Framework 4 but if I add WMF4 as a dependency to this application the Windows 7 clients, not at WMF4, are not able to see the application because the detection method fails.  I do not have the ability to deploy WMF4 to all clients and I need to deploy my application as 'available' to all clients.  

How can I get around this catch 22?
