Hello everyone,

I've been struggling to find a way to deploy an .exe file from Ninite (which is not an application (Ninite.com)) to my clients. Anyone here any experience with this?

Thanks

I got to create application from msi file and all was done perfectly.

Software installation is fine too, the only problem i am facing is sccm says installation failed while it was installed correctly.

MSI package is created with all default setting.

I am facing this problem almost for 3-4 msi package is there anything i am missing on package?

Here is the error code on client:

Command to install Office 2016 is as simply as it gets setup.exe. However I have trouble with command to uninstall Office 2016. It should be like this:

setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus /config Uninstall.xml

Uninstall.xml content is:

<Configuration Product="ProPlus"><Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" /><Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never" /></Configuration>

However uninstallation always fails with an error:

Setup can't find or validate an installation file. Please try reinstall Office ...

Last year I did the same with Office 2013 and I was able to uninstall it successfully. Are there some changes in Office 2016 from Office 2013 related to installation/unistallation switches, xml file format ...?

I have software update group which have april 2016 updates needs to be deployed on Server groups:

While i am running into problem where my software update group says 0 servers required these updates 



below is screenshot of software update group for April2016

As a result deployment say 0% compliance

deployment was set to required but not a single patch was installed even after deployment time. Please suggest me if i am missing anything.

Hi All,

Does anyone happen to know how we can get the Supersendence of an application through SQL?

I actually starte on this, but it returns nothing, even though I have a few applicaitno that are superseeded in my environment:

(Ideally without using a function sice I have very limited SQL rights on the SCCM box).

Thx in advance!

2012r2 sp1 CU3

hello - I have an application that deploys just fine only when you increase the ccm cache size, yeah that big...

how can I change the cache size on all computers; change the default size or even just the ones that want this app.

Ideas?

Thanks,

Hello,
I hope someone could help me to understand reboot behavior revolving around SCCM Application Deployment (not Software Updates).

Application Deployment

For testing purposes I created a very simple application (deployment type) who runs VBscript (cscript.exe test.vbs). This script creates an empty text fileC:\TEMP\test.txt and returns exit code 3010 (Wscript.Quit(3010)). Detection rule checks the presence oftest.txt file.
Deployment has been set to be Required and installation deadline "As soon as possible after the available time".
Target collection (and all the other collections where target computer is member of) has no Maintenance Windows defined.

Deployment type has these settings:

User Experience (tab)

• Installation behavior => Install for system
• Logon requirement => Whether or not user is logged on
• Installation program visibility => Hidden
• Should Configuration Manager enforce... => "Determine behavior based on return codes"

SCCM client version is 5.00.8239.1203; Business Hours are set from05:00 to 22:00 (mon-fri).

After some deployment tests against the same computer (Windows 7 Pro), I cannot understand why sometimes I get reboot with snooze option:

...and some other a reboot with 90 minutes countdown:

My objective is to have the deployment set as Required, but let user to choose when to reboot (snooze option).

Could you give me information about this ?

Thank you,
Luca

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to deploy an application with an different (admin) user.
As Example we've some Software Product which needs to run as "user" not "system".
With user I mean an install-user.
The last time we used altiris. It was easy to do this.

Would it be possible to run the sccm agent service niot as systemaccount?

Thank's for your help.

A few months back we installed MS Project 2013 Standard to many of our users, during the initial deployment we forgot to create a SilentUninstallConfig.xml in the prjstd.ww folder and we failed to include a proper uninstall command line option.

Since the original deployment of Project, we've created the file mentioned above and updated the uninstall process of the deployment to use such file.

In SCCM I've used the Redistribute option in Content Locations tab as well as theUpdate Contents in Deployment Types tab and SCCM still fails to copy the SilentUninstallConfig.xml to the users' ccmcache source folder for Project.

Am I missing something else here?

My next option is to manually copy this file to our users and then create a removal task to test the removal process.

I am setting up my first software deployment from SCCM. I started off simple and went with an easy install, google chrome. I packaged the installation and pushed it out to my test pc.  I can see the installation begin within software center. Then it fails. I looked at the Execmgr.log (see below) and see that it failed with error code 259. I restarted the install and it once again failed. So, I copied the file from c:\windows\ccmcache to my desktop and kicked off msiexec /I. It ran with no issue. I did the same using the /qn command so it is now running the exact command used by SCCM deploy. It installs with no issue. So why am I getting this 259 error when SCCM attempts to install it?  All it is doing is downloading the file and executing the command....

Have built what I thought would be a simple application install to install a certificate.

Basically the application runs certmgr.exe with relevant options to install a certificate that is in the same folder as the certmgr.exe.  From what I can see, the AppDetection process runs as follows (correct me if i'm wrong)

- Run App Detection script (see below)

- If its not detected, then I can see the certmgr.exe being run and the certificate does get installed and exit code is 0

- The App Detection script is rerun to check it has installed and at this point I get errors in the logfile AppEnforce.log

Script used on Detection Method is:

$store = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Store("TrustedPublisher","LocalMachine")
$store.Open("ReadOnly")
$CertFound = ( $store.Certificates | where-object { $_.subject -match "NameOfCertToCheckFor" } )
if ($CertFound -eq $null) { exit $false } else { exit $true }

So, initially cert is not found (correct), certmgr.exe is run (successfully), then cert should be found.

Error showing up in log is as follows:

I am unable to find how Language Accessory Packs can be deployed with SCCM.

In the link here you can download these but there is no documentation on how to deploy silently.Does anybody know how these can be deployed silently with SCCM?

Thank you.

Hi expert,

I'm implement a sccm on my company. can you guys guide me on how to put a password command on ultravnc installation?

I have changed the installation program string on one of my applications.

Will the client read the change or do I have to update content, its a very large program.

Hello everyone,

As the title says, I'm trying to uninstall a couple of applications using a user group as my target. This user group doesn't contain user accounts but instead it contains other AD user groups.

I've tested the uninstall process of these applications on my test environment and I know it works fine (when the target is a regular user group of computer accounts), but when I choose this user group, the application never uninstalls. Now I'm wondering if SCCM is having a hard time determining the user group contents.

Thanks!

When deploying an application with SCCM that runs a simple batch file to kick off an .msi, the application's desktop and start menu shortcuts are not created. When I run the batch file from ccmcache it installs fine with the shortcuts. 

Is there a particular setting that I'm missing?

I am trying to deploy IE11 , I'm getting some failures and getting the information below in the users appenforce.log. not sure what this is telling me and are there other logs that could help me troubleshoot this depolyment?
