I have been having some difficulty lately in getting accurate monitoring results from SCCM 2012 package deployments containing a batch file. The batch file fails for various reasons, mostly being that there is another program waiting for installation. So, what ends up happening is that the install portion of the batch file just blows through and the rest of the commands follow. SCCM reports the installation was successful.
Am I doing something wrong in the batch file or package settings? Here is the text of the batch:
