I am trying to deploy an app with a batch file but the batch terminates in 1 second while launching a new process where the install really starts, as a result the detection method fails, the software installs and the status is Failed in the software center.

Any trick I could use?

I thought about using sleep, but since the installation has to download files it really takes different times on different machines.

I tried start /wait but the command prompt closes and the installer starts a new process

My install batch file contains:

I am trying to use a "Run From Command" task in a task sequence.

The command is below:

Command line cmd /c C:\Tools\SysinternalsSuite\psexec \\servename -u userID -p userPW /accepteula cmd /c powershell -noninteractive -file E:\PowerCLI_PS_Scripts\DisconnectCDFromTargetVM_Multi_VCs.ps1 -vmname targetname -vc VirtualCenter -vcuser VCUserID -vcpass VCPW

Basically the TS command is attempting to connect to a remote server and run a powershell script on that remote server. That powershell script runs PowerCLI cmdlets.

From the smsts.log:

Any help on this would be appreciated.

I have a powershell script that is using functions passing parameters, it works find when running either via powershell ISE or CMD prompt.

I have a policy on the system that is setting powershell to "Bypass" as well as on this test system is set locally to "Unrestricted"

I created and application for it and my testing it fails right away with the below, any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?  Is it because applications run in the user context?:

Hi,

We are converting our SCCM 2007 packages into SCCM 2012 applications and I've scenario that I could not determine the solution with new application model.

In short, I have script that I want to run on or after the 3rd  Friday 7:00 AM of each Month. Currently it exist in SCCM 2007 as package and has advertisement configured as recurring schedule with rerun behavior set to "Always rerun program". The program is set to run "only when a user is logged on" (in hidden mode) and "run with administrative rights".

The package contains only a vb script.

Now the problem I have while converting this into an application (SCCM 2012):

1. Because it is only a script, what should I put it in Detection Method? I do not have anything to detect and I want this script to run every month based on recurring schedule.
2. When setting up Deployment: in scheduling I could not find anything related to "recurring schedule" as it was previously available in advertisement.

Appreciate if someone knows the answer or direct me towards any available reference.

Thanks.

-- S Ahmad

if it is possible, is there any guide available for this action?

if it is not possible, how can we transform our .msi file and use the new .msi file with customized parameters.

Thanks

Hi,

Wanted to have additional Category when creating a new package. Understand for Application i can use categorize the deployment. Wanted to how about for package deploy how can i add Category?

Using SCCM 2012.



Thanks!

any suggestion?

Thanks in advance

I assume this is still something we do not have control over when deploying a package? Is anyone aware of a third party option to change the folder name?

I have a crappy product I need to deploy and it needs to run from a specified path. Right now the recommended plan is to run this 1.25gb installation over the network from a shared drive from the SCCM server, which I want to avoid.

My plan at this point is to copy the content to a specified temp folder and run from there.

Any ideas? Thanks

Hi all

I have 123 Assets and only 3 have failed. They are all running the same OS and are exactly the same configuration etc and all in the same device Collection. I have 3 machines that are failing.

I have a simple batch file that copies the autologin.exe from our SCCM repository to C:\Windows\System32 directory and detection method used is the file name.

The SCCM Deployment Status log doesn't give me much information other than the error in the title. Can anyone help me please?

Thanks

Hi,

I am updating Bios through the collection, create a collection with query.

query looks like:

select SMS_R_System.NetbiosName, SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Model, SMS_G_System_PC_BIOS.SMBIOSBIOSVersion from  SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM on SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId inner join SMS_G_System_PC_BIOS on SMS_G_System_PC_BIOS.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_PC_BIOS.SMBIOSBIOSVersion < "1.18.5" and SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Model = "Latitude E7470" or SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Model = "Latitude E7270"

If the Bios is less then 1.18.5 and computer model is E7270 or E7470 get the computers to the collections.

It is working fine BUTafter the bios is updated successfully, Machine is not removing from the collection.

Any idea why the computers are not removing from collection after the bios is  up to date (1.18.5)?

Thank you.

Hi guys ,

Our environment is one CAS with three primary sites (SCCM 2012 R2 1710). All clients connect to one of three primary sites according to their boundary groups.

Now we fond a strange thing that all clients which connect to one specific primary sites doesn't take effect on Peer Caching.But the other clients which connected to other two primary sites take effect on Peer Caching.

Does anyone can give some clues ? Thanks in advance.

I have a Windows Installer .exe that calls a setup.iss file that, despite all my efforts and permutations of how to deploy it, consistent reports an error code of 0x87D00324(-2016410844). Yes I've googled it, and yes, consistently the replies are that it's a detection method problem. I have done the following:

1. Change detection method to Registry/File and Folder detection - there is not a problem with the detection method, because if I install the app manually, then re-deploy the app via SCCM, the app shows as 'Installed' if I try to install it from the software centre.

2. I've tried packaging the installer in a .bat file - this generated error code of 1, which I added to the Exit Codes table as a success, it then passed this error code but generated 0x87D00324(-2016410844) again.

3. I've re-created the app from scratch (i.e. ruling out that the content is bad/currupted) and have also tried manually running my install command from the CCM Cache folder containing all the install files - no problems there, it installs without issue when ran manually.

4. I've tried installing for User and for System - same error code as above.

The syntax of the install switch is not a problem, for anyone else looking at this its the Netsuite ODBC 64bit driver. I've logged it with the vendor for suggestions, but the AppEnforce.log is below to give you a flavour of the error. Also fyi, when I click install, I don't see any program files being created anywhere, but the error code is returned everytime - so I'm not sure if I should expect to see folders being partially created and then removed or not? I assumed that the install happens silently (and so quickly) that the process can determine if it will be a success or not before displaying any files in the OS.

Any help debugging the install or general SCCM deployment tips/workaround for awkward windows installshield apps would be appreciated, I'm idea-exhausted! The installer creates a system DSN (i.e. this isn't a context issue because presumably it installs as the System context?).

Install switch:

Hello Everybody,

I'm having a weird problem in SCCM, every time a patch or script is deployed to a collection, the workstations do not seem to receive them. An empty folder is created but that's about it.  Nothing has change as far as I know to my distribution point. All the content has been deployed to all my DP's.

The strange thing is that I seem to have no issues when deploying Windows software updates. I don't see any errors on my log files execmgr.log or CAS.log.

Any  ideas what could be happening?

Hi,

I got new request which I have cannot find answer to it. Management wants to deploy a Free App from Windows Store to all Windows 10 machine in our company and there is no download source available on vendor's site. I tried to download it from Microsoft Store but instead it just got installed and nothing in Temp to trace back.. nothing in add/remove program to trace the source from local machine. I wonder if anyone has done this before and share their experience on how to download (not install) from Microsoft Store so I could package up and deploy to our systems via SCCM.

Thank you in Advance.

Hi friends,

I would like to know if its possible to have a deploymentts history for an application. I deployed and updated about 9 time the same application in 2018. But each time, i deleted the old deployment in Configuration Manager so i cannot check there. I need to know the dates when i deployed or updated it in 2018. Maybe there are a log ? or tools for know that ? Thank you very much
