Installed applications version is less than, sort order

Hi

I have a problem with a collection query. I have some 400+ PC's with Google Chrome for Business version 66.88.xxxxx installed. Now I need to update those to version 66.101.xxxxx.

If I query like this: 'Installed Applications.Display Name is equal to Google Chrome and Installed Applications.Version is less than "66.89"' I get 432 PC's in the collection. If I change that version to 'less than "66.101"' I get 20 PC's. Those are PC's with versions between 41 to 46.

This seems like an ancient problem on how Microsoft sorts numbers. Because 1 < 8, then "of course" 101 < 88, right.

Is there a way to bypass this problem somehow? I know, that I can use that "less than 66.89" query, but it doesn't feel right, if you know what I mean.


Can I change the update schedule of multiple collections, i.e. with Powershell?

Dear all,

I have about 500 collections (user and device) with different update schedules (ranging from every 5 minutes to never at all) and now wish to change the update schedule to a general one (once every 30 minutes). I know how to set the schedule with Powershell, but only when creating new collections (New-CMUserCollection ... -RefreshSchedule...). Ideally, I would put all my existing collections in a text-file and run an appropriate cmdlet to adjust their schedule, but unfortunately I do not know which one; Set-CMUserCollection i.e. does not accept the parameter -RefreshSchedule.

Does anyone have an idea how this can be accomplished without having to touch each collection manually?

Thanks in advance

New deployment doesn't update current one, although priority is increased

Hi,

I have a new version of an applicaiton, so I copied the deployment type, changed the name and updated the source.
The client  sees it but doesn't install it.
Appdiscovery says:

+++ App-V 5.X package Ourpackage (3.0) not installed.
+++ Did not detect app deployment type Ourpackage (3.0) revision 4) for system

But appenforce does not install it.
When I go via sccm clientcenter, I can see it as "not installed", if I click "install" the installation continues.

Please advise (should I redeploy the Application? Can't do that, it says it's already deployed.)

Better understand program reboot and status

I have a package/program that sometimes needs to reboot and sometimes doesn't.  Both outcomes should be considered a "success."

I have the program set as "Program controls restart." because my program restarts the computer if it is required and doesn't if a restart is not needed.  I do not want to use the SCCM function for rebooting as it doesn't meet our needs... 

So clients that run this program and DO NOT need to reboot report a 10022 message "Program Completed Successfully (pending reboot) but these are categorized as "In Progress"  they never get recategorized as "Successful."  Meanwhile, the computers that need to reboot and do reboot send a 10008 message "Program Completed with success". 

Is there any way for me to signal to SCCM that a reboot is not required and so not pending on "Program Controls Restart"?  To me "Program Controls Restart" means that the programmight require a reboot.  If Microsoft didn't want to change this function in SCCM 2012, I think they should have stuck with the 2007 wording "Program restarts computer"  They changed the words in SCCM 2012, but did not implement the change in meaning to go along with the changed words, I think. 

Detection method for Office MSP file or any MSP file.

HI,

I'm deploying an MSP file for Office 2013 after deploying Office. It has been created with the OCT tool. For the first deployment is fine but, which detection method should I use to see if the MSP has been applied already or not? I couldn't find a specific registry key. Generally, where can I find a registry for MSP files?

Thank you very much in advance,

Requires restart, install still running

Hi, 

I'm using SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 to deploy an application with a dependency to a device. 

The dependency installs just fine and the status becomes "Requires restart" which is expected. But then it still starts the installation of the application even though there's a pending restart from the dependency.

The worst part of it is the fact that even after launching the second installer it won't change the status to "installing" so the end-user thinks the installation finished and clicks on restart thus breaking the install process. 

I confirmed that the process is still running by checking the appenforce.log so SCCM knows the status is "installing" but it still doesn't show it in Software Center.

Basically there's 2 problems.

  1. Application starts installing even though the dependency requires a restart
  2. Application started installing but the status remains "Requires restart" in Software Center (Confirmed in appenforce.log)

Feels like a bug to me. Anyone else experienced this? 

Suggestions? 

Thanks!

Synergix log of a deployment

Synergix create his own log file of installation if i run it like this msiexec /i adce.msi l*v adce.log 

But in a deployment, where should this log file will go?  Is there temporary folder over the client of downloaded applications from a deployment?

If i run the file in the computer the log file its created in the same folder where the .msi file was launched.

PSAppDeployTookit Question

My organisation has recently installed and configured SCCM. The plan is to use it for patching and OS deployment but also for application deployment. We will very soon be deploying Office 2013 C2R and I've been testing the PSAppDeploy Toolkit for that and its working out great.

I'm familiar with SCCM but I've little experience with PSADT. So have many on here used it or use it regularly to assist with app deployment and user messages etc?

Before I consider rolling it out as a standard in our environment with app deployment, is there any gotcha's or important things I need be considering? For example we have a small number of XP machines out there (I know!) so it won't deploy on those that don't have powershell installed.

Many thanks,


Package properties, data access, package share settings – SCCM 2012

 Hi,

 

Quick question: the Package properties, data access, package share settings are only for giving users access directly via the share, right? There are 2 selectboxes: “copy the content in this package to a packages share on distribution points” and use a custom name for the package share.

 

I guess, if we do not want give endusers the possibility to access packages directly, we do not need this option at all and it only takes extra diskspace, right (since the 2012 single instance store already has the packages –optimized in storage as well- http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/10/29/understanding-the-configuration-manager-content-library.aspx) ?

deployment status duplicated devices

Hi,
 
We got an strange issue with a deployment status. In a application deployment for 5 devices, the summary shows 1 success, 3 in progress and 1 error.
 
When I see the details, It shows all devices duplicates. The issue is that the same devices is as success as in progress (one device is with system user, and the same device with domain\user)
 
The application deployment is in a device collection and not in a user collection. I checked the application and all dependencies is configured for "install for system"
 
I re-create the collection and the deployment, but the issue persists. 
 
¿Why it shows the devices for system and the same device for user?¿Why one device is OK and the same is in progress? I don't get it.
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
 
Thanks

App Catalog

I am having an exceedingly difficult time getting my application catalog website up and running and need some help!  

I finally have rolled out my production server and got everything up and running.  I primarily use the Software Center on the clients and haven't needed the website.  I got a request yesterday for the address gave it out and of course didn't work.  In the console I am seeing the event IDs of 1016 - "Site Component Manager failed to install this component on this site system." and 4971 "Site Component Manager failed to install component SMS_AWEBSVC_CONTROL_MANAGER on server".

I have tried to enable and register .NET, I have tried to edit the webdav schema I have rebooted about 20 times and have tried to reinstall the Application Catalog web service point role, but just can't get the site up and running.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Office Scrub Failure

Ive been trying to deploy the OffScrub2010.vbs for quite some time through SCCM. We have multiple versions of Office in our environemnt, which is why I want to go the scrub route compared to the standard XML route.

The problem that I am coming across is that the script will execute fine through SCCM, but it always returns error code 1793, which correlates to "The user's account has expired"I have the package set to run with administrative rights. In the execmgr.log, I am able to see it successfully prepare the command line "C:\windows\system32\cscript.exe" OffScrub10.vbs ALL /Quiet, and it will prepare the working directory correctly. However, no matter what combination I try, I always get error 1793. 

What I am doing wrong here? I know there isn't an expired account, so I am not sure why that exit code keeps coming up. Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Applications keep installing (even after removing).

Hi all,

I'm currently setting up several applications in SCCM which have all deployed to my PC fine.

I have then manually remove them using an X-Remove command directly on my PC rather than SCCM. However, when I came back from lunch all of the applications had re-installed.

Is there a way to set up SCCM to only install an application once while the PC retains in the collection or do I have to remove the application from the PC AND the PC from the collection?

Any help would be great.

Superseded Application Issue

Greetings all,

I have been researching the web to determine if this is a known issue but have not reached a definite answer.

Issue:

Application A is actively deployed to Win7 and Win8Tablets

Application B supersedes Application A

Application B is actively deployed to TestCollection

TestCollection includes collections Win7 and Win8Tablets but is limited to TestLaptop


There is one member in TestCollection however all the tablets were affected and updated to Application B. Win7 workstations started to update to Application B as well before we stopped the deployment.

Even though TestCollection only contains one member a large number of machines in production were updated. I read if Application A is part of a optional task sequence, the application that supersedes it will be installed regardless if the machine is actually targeted it or not. I also read that if you deploy application B as a task sequence and make it available it will reproduce this issue but we are making an application deployment and targeting a collection.

We are at a loss as we have superseded deployments part of a optional task sequence before and have not experience this issue.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.


Pull DP Content Distribution is failing

Dear All,

We are currently running on SCCM R2 SP1 CU1

We had an issue with Pull DP and content distribution is failing.When we look at distmgr log in source DP, we find below errors 

CWmi::Connect() failed to connect to \\FQDNName of DP\root\CIMv2. Error = 0x800706BA
ERROR DPConnection::ConnectWMI() - Failed to connect to  FQDN(DP). error = 0x800706ba
Failed to find a valid drive on the distribution point ["Display=\\FQDN\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=XXX"]\\FQDN\
Failed to get usable drives for DP

1. Able to connect the remote pull dp from source DP by using wbemtest without any error from source DP

2. Restarted services and Rebooted Pull DP Server but no luck

3. Firewall turned off on both servers (Source DP and Pull DP)

Any thoughts ??

Thanks in advance..



Superseding and upgrading an applications dependency.

I need to know what the best process is to upgrade an applications dependency.

I have Application X the is installed on 1000 odd workstations and has a dependency on application y.

Now application Y need an upgrade to Y.1 resolve an issue. The upgrade process requires Y.1 to uninstall Y to complete successfully and I want to do this on a phased deployment process as the application is critical.

So I configure application Y.1 to supersede and uninstall application Y in SCCM 2012 seems simple enough.

Now I install Application X with the original dependency Y but when I attempt to deploy Y.1 to the workstation I get an error deploying due to the upgrade Y.1 conflicting with Y.

When I try modifying the dependencies for Application X to require Y OR Y.1 but only Y is set to auto install Application X will now not install due to not meeting requirements.

The only ways I can think now of actually completing the deployment is breaking the dependency chain altogether and deploying the application that way OR not using the supersedence process and scripting the upgrade (uninstall\install) however I expect that would then break the previous version so I would have to modify the detection method of Y to include the new version Y.1 detection method.

Please tell me I am overanalysing this and there is something simple I have missed!!

Deploying Applications that run multiple MSI's for deployment

I have several HP server utilities that need to be deployed. The process for deploying them is to run an exe that kicks off several msi files one at a time. This deployment is failing, however if I deploy the msi individually it works. It also works if I run the *.exe /s at command line.

I read online where someone ran into this issue and it was because a process was already running that it wouldn't kick off the next process for deployment. There was no solution around this issue for this person.

Below is what I receive from the AppEnforce.log

Superseding an application

Hi,

When you supersede an application1 with application2, do you still deploy to (that) collection?
It seems as if yes, but do you directly remove the old deployment then (since it seems of nu use anymore)?

Please advise.

Internet Explorer v10 Upgrade Errors

I have used IEAK to create IE 10 package with prerequisites integrated as per available on the official Microsoft website.

When trying to run this via SCCM (as administrator account), it is giving below error.

Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.

The 2 prerequisites were also integrated with IEAK but not sure why is it trying to download them again. I am using the .exe file here.


When tried to run locally, this doesnt give the above errors.
