Hi everybody,
I'm facing a tedious problem here... after a software distribution (through task sequence) failed on some clients, I'm unable to run any adverisement on those clients. Checking with SCCM Client Center on a client I can see that the TS remains as "Completed" under Running Executions section, I already tried to follow what's suggested here "http://sccm.haas.se/?p=684" but since the TS engine is not running anymore on those clients, that's not my case.

The TS advertisement is configured to not re-run it if failed, so it should let me run other advertisements, I also removed that advertisement on the clients but the TS is still there as "Completed" and all the other advertisements are on Ready state and forcing one to run doesn' work.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Hi,

In SCCM Client Center, there is an option to initiate "Apply Updates". Is it can be done for multiple systems using a VB Script or Powerhsell

Task sequence on our secondary site is failing.

Our site is SCCM 2007 SP2 and we are trying to deploy Windows 7 x64

As seen the task sequence fails on fetching the boot image

the smsts log shows the following

I have already refreshed the package 

I updated DP

Tried re-entering Network Access account 

Tried re adding the Boot image to the Task Sequence 

Created new task sequence

The Task sequence in the primary site works fine.

We checked and found the Machine does get IP address , and is able to ping and resolve the DP.

Hello,

Under Administration > Device Management > Agent Managed I was having the machines grouped by Management servers last week...  now they are not anymore and the "Primary Management Server" Field is not available in the Personalize View for sorting or grouping!!!

What could be the issue?

Thanks,

Hi Guys,

I have exhausted all options to fix this issue. How can I remove the distribution point from the remote server and re-install it so its a fresh install?

The D drive on the local server contains these two folders: SMSSIG$ and SMSPKGE$. 

Cheers!!

Can anyone explain to me why this message is getting rejected as corrupt? It doesn't look large enough to be a overflow error but it obviously is processing the data incorrectly.

Hi, 

I've been using vbscript packages in SCCM for over a decade, and one thing I do is use the registry to determine if I need to uninstall an old program with the Value:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
or
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Example code snip:

UnstKey = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{81BE0B17-563B-45D4-B198-5721E6C665CD}"
UnstVal = wshShell.RegRead(UnstKey & "\UninstallString")

If I run this manually, it works great, but all of a sudden, when I run a vbscript like this in SCCM it now returns: 
Invalid root in registry key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{...}\UninstallString"

I normally run everything whether or not a user is logged on as System, but I did a test, and it even fails if I run the package as the user, which really surprised me. I check permissions in registry key, and Everyone has read, System has Modify.

This code was working about a month ago. No changes to SCCM that I know. Sadly, we are still running 2007 SP2

Please help!

We're having a rather interesting problem with one of our remote DPs. It was functional under a Secondray Site for almost a year and then about 3 weeks ago, the server name simply disappeared from the System Status in the Console. It remained listed under the Site Management object, and as a valid DP in the packages that had been distributed to it.

So, in troubleshooting this, we removed the DP role, waited 48 hours and re-installed the role. Didn't see anyting hinky in the logs, however this has not solved the issue. When looking at the Distribution Manager log we get the following for just about every package:

Thread Handle = 3868  SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER           6/10/2015 2:06:13 PM  8844 (0x228C)

This happens for just about every thread. I've checked the WMI permissions, folder permissions, permissions at the drive and permissions on the erver. The Site server name is in the local Admins group which has full control over both the drives and folders, as well as WMI. At this point I'm stumped. I've tried implementing a hotfix I found in a different thread, but when I ran it, it said it wasn't applicable to the server. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am having issues deploying Java 8 Update 45 to Windows 7 via SCCM 2007. I have downloaded the executables from Oracle and created a batch file to first uninstall all previous versions of Java and then install 8.45 (32 and 64 bit). Batch file works flawlessly when I run it on a local machine in and Administrators command prompt.

When I run it under the system account the uninstall works fine.  I can see the batch file call the executables and they run for about a minute each but they never actually get installed.

This is testing my sanity....

Has anyone had any luck deploying 8.45 with SCCM 2007?  From what I understand, you used to be able to extract the MSI files but Oracle seems to have made changes and now charges to get the MSI files.

This is the batch file.  It works in SCCM right up to the install. 
Any suggestions are appreciated

Hello,

I have some old advertisement which should not be here anymore but are still displayed on the machines:

I noticed there are three options which could stop the advertisement to be attached to a machine:

- Delete the advertisement not needed

- Disable the advertisement

- Add an advertisement expiration date

I wonder what are exactly the differences between this three options:

- immediate effect

- disappear from the list of advertisements pending on any machine earlier

- etc...

Thanks,

Dom

Hello, 

I installed as package/program with "run:" set to hidden. Is there a way to revert this in Windows or redeploy it to show up as "normal"?

Thank you,

Hi,

SCCM 2007 SP2 R3

We have a central  Site / Primary Site and and Secondary site

We manage our primary and secondary site and have no control over the central site.

All the Packages that are available to our site are actually created on the Central Site and then replicated over.

I then go into the package and Add our D's to it an that is where my doubt is.

I first add the Primary Site DP to the package as to before adding secondary sites . So my guess is when the DP is added , the Primary site servers copies the files from the Package Source directory (That is on the Central site server) and then Add it to the Primary DP.

Once we test the package we then add it to the couple of secondaries we have.

Q:Is the Secondary site copying the files from the central site or from Primary , as Primary already has the files.

Q:What if i sometime forget to add secondary DP , Will the Clients in Secondary site boundary be able to get the package from the primary site DP. ? How can i make sure they can.

Hi,

We have SCCM 2007 installed in our environment. We have two primary sites. or the past few weeks, whenever we create a package and distribute it, the package gets distributed only to one primary server. The other primary server shows the status as install pending. Its not the issue with only one package. Its with all the packages that have been created in the past two weeks. Please suggest.

Thanks in advance.

Azhar.

I am trying to make a couple sccm applications work.  The first app checks to see if Faronics DeepFreeze is thawed and if it is then inserts the autologin credentials and reboots.  The second batch file undoes the autologin and then issues the command to deepfreeze to reboot frozen.  If I run either or both of the batch files from a command prompt the run correctly and do what they are supposed to do.  If I run them for a user as available both applications will fail.  It dos not say why it fails.  If deployed to devices they do not show up in Software Center to be runable.  Both batch files are set as available.  Once working the device application will be set to "required".

My question is why would the batch file work when run from within a command prompt but fail when delivered by sccm?

Thank you.

Hello,

I am distributing two package to all servers:

Package1 64 bits version I am getting error 10070 (21).

Package2 32 bits version I am getting error 10070 (72) and 10006 (353).

Two packages, two advertisements but only one collection...

What exactly these errors are showing?

10070

The program for advertisement "SRV2015E" ("SRV000E2" - "xxxx - xxx Deployment") exceeded the maximum allowed run time of 120 minute(s). Systems Management Server (SMS) has stopped monitoring the program, and is unable to determine the status of the program. SMS will not automatically attempt to run this program again.
Possible causes: The program might have taken longer to run than expected, or the program might have experienced problems while running.
Possible solution: Make sure the maximum allowed run time specified for the program allows enough time for the program to finish running. If the program requires user input, ensure the program properties allow the user to interact with the program.

10006

The program for advertisement "SRV2015F" failed ("SRV000E3" - "xxxx - xxx 32 Bits"). A failure exit code of 1603 was returned.
User context: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

Possible cause: Systems Management Server (SMS) determines status for each program it executes. If SMS cannot find or correlate any installation status Management Information Format (MIF) files for the program, it uses the program's exit code to determine status. An exit code of 1603 is considered a failure.
Solution: For more information on the exit code, refer to the documentation for the program you are distributing.

Thanks,
Dom

package - Caterpillar GERP 4.05 when deployed in test environment, it installs fine in both 32 and 64 bit win7 systems in system context.

when deployed to client environment - program to run in system context - installs fine in 32 bit win7 machines but fails in 64 bit win7 machines however manual installation works fine.

till now in client environment all the packages installed fine in 64 bit machines, this is the first package with unique issue.

installation via user context for 64 bit win7 device doesn't work.

how to troubleshoot and fix this.

I've got an application, SafeNet Sentinel Driver 7.5.1, that will install perfectly if I run it manually, but when I deploy it via SCCM, I get a 1610 - ERROR_BAD_CONFIGURATION.

I created a wrapper that executes the setup executable with all of the desired switches.  When I run it manually, I get an installation log that's about 258kb and reports success.  When I deploy it via SCCM, thereby running as the local system, it fails and I get a 1KB log file with nothing in it.

Any ideas?

Hi,
I noticed something strange on some clients: I'm deploying a software on a large number of computers, but if the OSD task sequence of one of those computers had failed back then during a software installation and the TS stopped (but the OS is working properly) the client doesn't receive other advertisements afterwards, I can see the clients correctly in the console but if I connect to one client with SCCM Client Center I can see that it still has only the advertisements relevant to the OSD task sequence.
Is there a way to force the new policies/advertisements to be downloaded by the client?

Thank you
