Something very strange has been happening to my deployments of late. When I check the statistics of an application deployment a couple hours after the deadline, everything looks good:

However, give it a day and the following occurs:

Looking at the deployment statistics for the app, there are only 3-4 errors, which does not match what the main statistics pie chart is saying. Running the Application Infrastructure Errors report shows the bulk of the errors fall into error code -2016401858,"CI Agent job was canceled".

I've done some Google searching, but only found one article about that error, Monitoring of an application tells me that the installation was successful, but after a while, the same monitoring tells me that the installation that was successful now got a lot of errors. My symptoms are the same, but the suggested causes are not applicable to my environment. This is a newly-created application that has no dependencies or supersedence rules set.

My environment consists of one primary and one secondary site. Clients are in various states of upgrade to R2 CU1, but I have observed this issue on clients in several different versions. Any thoughts as to what might be causing this?

Hi guys...

I have previously created dependencies between two (2) separate Application's Deployment Types (DT) as such:

"DT_A in Application_A" depends on "DT_B in Application_B"

During some test procedures, we have deleted the whole of Application_A (along with all its DTs).

Now, we are unable to delete DT_B as well as it complains that it is still being referenced by (the already deleted)DT_A. Obviously we can't delete Application_B as a whole as it is still complaining thatDT_B is still being referenced.

1. The References tab in Application_B still shows that it is still being referenced by Application_A even though searching from the Console as well as Get-CMApplication does not show any more of the deletedApplication_A
2. The last and only Revision inApplication_B's Revision History cannot be deleted as its Delete button is greyed out.
3. However, the View button can be clicked and it shows the historical revision during the time when Application_A still referenced Application_B.

Any ideas on how we can delete Application_B ? Is deleting Applications and DTs via SQL Query possible ?

Just started experimenting with user based application deployment. I started with the SCCM 2012 console, set it to deploy to user, worked absolutely fine, but when I went in and tried changing something, I was told it is a read only. Only after canceling the deployment I am able to make modifications. Is this by design, or am I setting something wrong?

Hi,

I'm trying to deploy App-v 5.0 SP2 + hotfix to a pc, that works fine but when I deploy to a user, the installation fails "The software change returned error code 0x643(1603)."

The appenforce.log gives: "A supported App-V 5X client is not installed"
I'm triggering App-v 5.0 SP2 hotfix 4 to the user, this has a dependency to the Appv- 5.0 SP2 client which has a dependency to its prereqs (visual c++, dotnet, powershell 3.0).

Please advise.

I would like to create application/package deployments that install silently, but will also prompt the user when the installation is done. I want these available through the Software Center.

My reason is pretty simple. I want to control all aspects of the installation process which is easy using silent installs. However, I would like the user to know when the install is done.

For something as simple as a JAVA runtime install, the user is often installing an update due to an incompatibility with a web site. Letting them know when the install is done allows them to try to web site again.

Good afternoon,

I'm working on a new SCCM implementation for a customer and the entire brand new CM infrastructure is 2012 R2 with CU1. Right now I'm trying to create a deployment of the console but I really want the application I deploy to include the console update for CU1. Since it's a fresh infrastructure any device getting the console will get both 2012 R2 console + the kb2938441 console update. Is this not possible? I thought I could be a wise guy and do what I did with the CM client and copy the hotfix to the client setup folder then create a batch file to do the install for me using the PATCH="%~dp0i386\configmgr2012adminui-r2-kb2938441-i386.msp" parameter. Unfortunately ConsoleSetup.exe doesn't like this. Any other thoughts?

Hi

I noticed something while watching a deployment report that I wanted to see if someone could clear up for me.

We use SCCM 2012 SP1 CU2 with Nomad Branch Cache.

I recently set an application deployment which was required with a deadline. It was available from a Monday Morning at 9am and the Deadline was Tuesday at 5pm. While watching the report, some users chose to install sooner than the deadline, some were unknown (offline PCs) and some were in progress. 

The ones that were in progress were at the Content Download stage however they stayed like this all of tuesday. I had a look at appintenteval / appenforce / appdiscovery. The app wasn't discovered, appintent said not installed and app enforce showed nothing had attempted to install or failed.

I hadn't set the application deployment to pre-deploy the content, yet when I looked at the nomad branch cache logs, I could see the content sitting there.

Does anyone know that when using Nomad and you set up an application deployment WITHOUT setting the pre deploy option in SCCM if NOMAD decides to pre download the content?

Thanks

Jonathan

I install SCCM 2012 R2, then Update to CU1, last moth I had updated to CU2

• I create two deployment type for winzip application.
• It is 'available' and not 'required'.
• Use script installer, it contains mst file. the script is vbs
• One is for x64, the other is for x86. all of them contains uninstall program(msiexec /x {code} /q)
• Install is ok
• But the uninstall button is grayed out.
• When I delete x86 deployment type then can uninstall this application
• It seem if it has more than one of deployment type, the uninstall button is grayed out

I saw CU1 had fixed this bug, but why I met it again?  It is new bug of SCCM 2012 R2 CU2?

I find R2 CU1 and R2 CU2 client update package in SCCM.

• Do I need to deploy them to all PC?
• If I use sccm OSD to install OS(Use default Configuration Manager Client Package）, If I need to update Client in this client？

Hi,

We deployed a new version of a package, updated the distribution point.
The Windows 7 client should press retry and then get the new package and install the new version (wether it is cached or run from distributionpoint).

How to be sure this mechanism works (or should it out of the box)?

We have several applications that are retired, all deployments are removed. According to SCCM documentation retired applications should get deleted after 60 days automaticly. It has been about 1 year since that the application is retired, but it does not get deleted.

Any idea's?

.NET 4.5.1 Install only works when running on a UI session

I have created an application package for .NET 4.5.1 offline installer with the following installation command:

NDP451-KB2858728-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe /q /norestart /ChainingPackage "ADMINDEPLOYMENT"

When SCCM attempts to install this application after a machine policy refresh the install fails with the following errors:

[12/13/2013, 8:51:47] Directory 'C:\e5bb6b6b88f53e9031f3ffa7a961\' has been selected for file extraction
[12/13/2013, 8:51:47] Extracting files to: C:\e5bb6b6b88f53e9031f3ffa7a961\

[12/13/2013, 8:51:47] Exiting with result code: 0x80004005

Manually going to the machine and running the installation via the Software Center results in the application installing correctly and reporting back to SCCM as a success. 

I've tried going the route of the web installer but it fails because it can't get past the corporate proxy and I'd prefer the offline installer anyways.  The web installer does manage to extract itself via SCCM though.  I have already tried redownloading the installer but it didn't make a difference.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Which scenario would be the most efficient disk space wise specifically on the content being distributed, but I welcome any further thoughts as well.

Scenario 1:

One application with 7 deployment types, each deployment type points to the same content but with different command line switches.

Scenario 2:

Seven separate applications with 1 deployment type each, the deployment type of each application would still point to the same content with the difference being the command line switches. 

You can stop reading here the below is the background to why I have this question if interested.

Background:
We have a group of around 10 software programs that are used at seven different physical locations. Each location has its own infrastructure (DB Servers, application servers, etc) and the software needs the correct configuration to work correctly for that location. The configuration is set using command line switches to the MSI installer or to the install EXE. I want to deploy the software to device collections for each site and software. If I was using packages I would use the package with separate programs deployed to the device collections for install but I want to use applications to eventually take advantage of the Software Catalog. 

Thanks in advance.

We have applications that have different deployment types that have requirements based on Active Directory Site. For instance, if you are in AD Site 123 use this deployment type. If you are in AD Site 456, use this deployment type, etc. The DT's with their associated Requirements rules work fine when deployed to existing SCCM clients, however, during a task sequence the DT's and requirements don't seem to be evaluated. Is this by design or am I doing something wrong?

How to add an existing Global Condition to an application deployment type via Powershell?

Hi All,

I'm trying to add an existing Global Condition to an application deployment type via Powershell. The part I'm stuck at is running this command:

$app.DeploymentTypes[1].Requirements.Add($rule)
Cannot find an overload for "Add" and the argument count: "1".
At line:1 char:1
+ $app.DeploymentTypes[1].Requirements.Add($rule)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodCountCouldNotFindBest

I'm assuming that means that I haven't selected/set my $rule properly. I tried using this command to assign $rule to an object using the Requirements on a different deployment type:
$rule = $app.DeploymentTypes.[0].Requirements

I've looked through the article here (gallery.technet.microsoft.com/SCCM-2012-Global-Condition-2b133101#content)and tried tweaking his scripts, but it seems like each time you Create the GlobalCondition you're making a new one; what I want to do is just assign an existing one. That way, if I need to modify all of the application deployment types using that one Global Condition I can change one and have it change for all that use that (i.e. if Windows 8.2 comes out, then I don't need to check the 8.2 box on all my deployment type requirements).

How do I select an existing GlobalCondition properly so that i can assign it using the command below?
$app.DeploymentTypes[1].Requirements.Add($rule)

Thanks a ton in advance!

Hi All,

We've enabled the Config Manager connector in Service Manager to pull Application information and it's pulling it across successfully. One of the fields it pulls info for is 'Description' and we cant work out how to set this in the Application. It's actually a Package description field so when it's set on a Package the information comes in Service Manager.

The trouble is that there doesn't seem to be an easy way to enter information into this field for an Application. The field still exists in the database but there just isn't a GUI field for it.

You can see in the screenshot attached the Application (AutoCAD 2014) and the Packge (Endnote) and they both have this field available. Does anyone know how to set this for an Application?

Thanks!

Phil
