I'm attempting to deploy an msi based application to various flavors of Windows workstations.

The deployment is coming from an SCCM 2012 Sp1 server on a different subnet and I have configured the Boundaries and Bounary Groups.  Windows 7 computers, both x86 & x64, will download and install the application very well, however all of the XP client machines show in the software center "Downloading Content 0% complete" and have for literally days.

The ContentTransferManager.log and the CAS.log have no entries at all for the dates of this deployment.

Not sure what I am missing or what to look at next.  Any assistance appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

I have spent last couple of days googling and can not find a resolution for my case.

I have SCCM 2012 R2 installed and configured.

When user logged in domain computer and try to  access Applicaiton Catalog Website they will be asked for username and password for 3 times after typed in, then get a

401 - Unauthorized:Access is denied due to invalid credentials.

You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

HOwever, if I type in any domain admin credential the page can display properly.

Also, if the login of the computer is logged in as domain admin already, the page will be displayed properly without asking credentials.

I have tried change the security permission of App catalog to everyone can read with no luck.

I have checked IIS, the authentication rule is all all users.

I have also checked installation log of APP catalog and found no error.

I have also uninstalled app catalog web then  manually removed Asp.net 4.5 from IIS then add Asp.net 4.5 back and reinstall APP catalog, no luck.

I have installed APP catalog with default name and also custom name, still same.

Hopefully someone can point it out where I should check. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

In a CM 2012 SP1 CU1 environment, VDI Clients based on XenDesktop 5.6 running with a golden image streamed through PVS 6.1 with a personal v-disk for changes have Applications deployed to them. The devices receive a Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 images with all updates currently available. The applications are set to be available immediately and the collection in which the devices are has no maintenace window set. The Client Agent in the golden image has been sysprepped and each Machine gets a unique ID and the dives register correctly in CM, so no apparent problems there.

Yet the applications only show up in the Software Center on the target devices on Mondays and Tuesdays. The rest of the week, the Software Center stays empty. I've checked the logs AppDiscovery and AppEnforcer and on any other day than Monday and Tuesday, AppDiscovery does not show any Applications other than the standard App-V discovery.

The Eventlog shows no errors or warnings.

Any ideas at what I could look at next?

Best Regards,

Fred

Hi,

Is there a way that I can run a powershell script or vbs script that will allow me to run the Client actions on the local client. kind of like a shortcut that will go into the configuration manager client control panel icon and run the client action required.

Specifically for the Application Deployment Evaluation


Any help would be appreciated

Hi Guys/gals

Do any of you Guys/gals have any experience with creating detection checks on mac.

I know that making detection checks for .App's isn't that hard, i could simply do "Application Bundle" - "Version", which i can find the information in the Info.plist file.
And then it uses "CFBundleIdentifier" and "CFBundleVersion" sections in the Info.plist file. (at least this is how i think it Works, if someone knows elsewise, feel free to clerify my mistake)

But now i am in the situation i need to create a detection check for a .pkg file, which installs "jre7update51" - and this application does not use CFBundleVersion - the CMAppUtil can't create the detection.XML file for me.

This Means i don't know how to create the detection check, are there anything i can do to find this information?

Kind Regards

Hi All

I have now been busy with Ixos Livelink 9.5 now for days

I get a failure code of 0x87D00324(-2016410844). and I know it is because of a crappy detection rule :-(

ps non of the detection methods worked although the app does install

I used the MSI to build thedeployment application

From this it pulled in the detection for Windows Installer {96538711-469D-4B19-B2F3-F1E49F4A9E0E}

next I tried to use the registry - I ran procmon to see what changes was made to the system

I tried using the following registry keys -neither worked

SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\11783569D96491B42B3F1F4EF9A4E9E0\InstallProperties

SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{96538711-469D-4B19-B2F3-F1E49F4A9E0E}

i also tried using

C:\Program Files (x86)\IXOS\bin\alviewer.exe

has Anybody done this app before or please help me I woulld really appreciate it -

kind regards Mike

Hello,

i want to deploy an apllication.

Normaly the APP is downloaded to the client´s chache and then installed form the local storage.

The APP is very big and i don't want to copy it to the clients`s cache.

I want to run it over the LAN.

Any ideas to do to theis with an application or do i have to use a package?

THX

weird problem - trying to solve it now since two days already:

I created a application "Silverlight" with command line: powershell.exe "& '.\setup.ps1'"

and enabled it to allow use in Install Application task sequence also.

I created a task sequence to setup windows 7 enterprise x86 and install some apps, i.e. .net 4, powershell 3.0 and some adobe products, then a reboot and then install the Silverlight application with the Install Application step(no MDT used)

However the Silverlight does then always fail immediately when launched.

I have following code in powershell script and I get no ExitCode back, $RetVal is just empty after run

$RetVal = 99
$process = Start-Process -FilePath "Silverlight51.exe" -ArgumentList "/q" -PassThru -Wait -WorkingDirectory "$WorkDir"
$RetVal = $process.ExitCode

very strange - when I then open directly with F8 a dos command window and run same script with psexec -s parameter, everything runs fine and I get the required ExitCode

Is there any difference how SCCM tries to install apps ?

appreciate very much any help or suggestion !!

Global Conditions list is empty. Not sure why. Please help.

Running SCCM 2012 SP1 CU1

Thanks

Does anyone have any experience in using the Admin Studio Configuration Manager edition? I can't find much documentation on it online but I am wondering if I could create a package for an .exe file that requires a license for activation. I want to be able to install exe files without having any interaction from the user to make it seamless as possible. 

What other scenarios do you use that software for? 

Thanks

(Config Manager 2012 R2 environment)

Yes, I have looked at every other post that is out there. We still have random applications that get stuck at 0% downloading.

Background:

1) This application is located on the fallback DP (not the primary DP for this workstation location)

Troubleshooting so far:

1) checked boundaries, and they point to primary DP 1. If app isn't on that DP, it is setup to use fallback DP#9

2) checked application, and fallback is enabled on deployment type

3) killed the deployment, and rebuilt

4) killed the app, and rebuilt

5) LocationServices.log shows message: "Calling back with empty distribution points list" which leads me to believe it doesn't know to look to the fallback DP

6) CAS.log shows messages:

The number of discovered DPs(including Branch DP and Multicast) is 2 ContentAccess 3/26/2014 6:11:47 PM 7444 (0x1D14)
Calling back with the following distribution points ContentAccess 3/26/2014 6:11:47 PM 7444 (0x1D14)
Distribution Point='http://HEIMSCAT009.ahc.root.loc/NOCERT_SMS_DP_SMSPKG$/Content_69c31059-2a15-4158-9f15-4201feb61fc7.1', Locality='REMOTE' ContentAccess 3/26/2014 6:11:47 PM 7444 (0x1D14)
Distribution Point='http://HEIMSCAT009.ahc.root.loc/SMS_DP_SMSPKG$/Content_69c31059-2a15-4158-9f15-4201feb61fc7.1', Locality='REMOTE' ContentAccess 3/26/2014 6:11:47 PM 7444 (0x1D14)

What's weird, is that it's pointing to an HTTP address, but we only allow HTTPS connections with PKI Cert. When I type in the same path to the DP, but use HTTPS, it finds it right away.

Why is the CAS trying to tell the client to download the app from the HTTP url? Is it a configuration issue with IIS on the DP?

7) I checked the IIS Log on the fallback DP, and don't see any entries from the IP Address of the requesting machine

I give up...

those are all migrated and PCM converted applications, the will not deploy. deleting and recreating with the exact same characteristics and will deploy.

Good afternoon everyone.

Sorry about the last question.  I'd attempted to resolve this in so many ways that the last question was based on an old attempt.

I'm trying to set the PowerShell Execution Policy through a batch file.  Specifically, the batch file contains one single command: 

PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& {Start-Process PowerShell -ArgumentList 'Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Force' -Verb RunAs}"

If I run this command standalone, either as local Admin or not, the batch file completes and the execpol is changed appropriately.

When deploying the batch file through CM, Software Center shows a successful installation but the ExecPol value does not change.  The batch file within CM is configured to run as administrator.

Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much.

Good morning everyone.

I'm trying to virtualize Adobe Flash 10.3 for IE.  That's beside the point but I wanted to mention my ultimate goal.

Sparing you all the App-V stuff I have to go through there's one obstacle that is hindering me at this point.

I've converted completely to CM 2012 SP1 for my App-V deployment functions but find myself needing to specify our main CM server as the "AppVPublishingServer".  The ultimate goal here is to set the virtual app attribute of "IsPublishedGlobally" to TRUE.  This is normally done with a PoSH command "Set-AppVpublishingserver", manipulating the Global parameters.

Do any of you know how to configure this attrib through CM, or, how to declare the CM server as a Publishing Server (in App-V's eyes)?

Thanks very much.

I am trying to troubleshoot an application uninstall issue, seems to be site wide. So far I have tried Adobe Flash and Office 2010, both fail to uninstall and cite error code 0x80040322 - Rule is in conflict with other rules and when I look at the conflicts I see that it is in conflict with the MSI required by the app?

These are applications imported using the MSI's.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello

I am creating some tasks to wake workstations and when they wake i would immediately like them to perform an application discovery evaluation cycle. 

Is there a command which will force the machine to perform this?

Many thanks in advance

Case:

• Domain A has ConfigMgr 2012 server with all roles (MP, DP, SUP...)
• Domain B is untrusted and hasn't got any ConfigMgr site server roles installed
  
• ConfigMgr site has been introduced to Domain B also, so all the resources can be discovered (systems, users)
• I can deploy software to systems in the untrusted forest
• I cannot deploy software to users in the untrusted forest

Is this normal behavior? Do I need MP to untrusted forest so that I can get my user deployment's working? When I deploy software to users in the untrusted domain, they don't even show up in the AppDiscovery.log and deployment status on the console doesn't show the device for the user.

Hi All,

Does anyone know how can I deploy Visual Studio 2012 withc SCCM 2012(step by step).

Best regards

Hi all,

i try to automatically install Software Updates on some server systems in the night.
For this i created a mandatory Software Deployment with an installation deadline in the past.
At the collection i created a Service Window from 22:00 to 02:00.
The Updates in the Software Center show up with the status "Past due - will be installed".

Sounds perfect. So i wanted to check if they got installed this morning and they did not....?!??!

In the UpdatesDeployment.log i found this logged section:

I then checked the Options in the Software Center which has the default setting. (Screenshot)

I hope if i have a scheduled mandatory Deployment with its deadline reached the predefined business hours do not block the deployment to start.

For me it sounds like i should enable the checkbox "Automatically install or uninstall required software and restart the computer only outside of the specified business hours". Or isn't this the problem, cause the Updates are scheduled...

Is this the reason why the Updates did not install?

If yes how can i preconfigure the option?

Is there a way to automate the configuration of that option?

Is there a way to deny user to change those options?

Any help or clarification would be really cool. Thanks a lot guys!
