A custom task sequence to install software is always listed as Operating System on Software Center

Hello,
I have built several custom task sequences to install software in SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 environment, but the type of task sequence is always listed as Operating System on the Software Center. I tried creating a simple task sequence (Task Sequence 1) that contains
a single restart computer step only and tried deploying it to a test machine. This task sequence is also listed as Operating System. This task sequence fails because this is not the one for OS install and I do not specify a boot image for this task sequence.
All task sequences that I have created in SCCM 2012 RTM environment are working as expected. All task sequences that I create in SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 are listed as Operating System regardless of its actual type (I upgraded my environment from CM2012 RTM to CM2012
R2 CU1 last month).
Here is a test task sequence that contains a single step of restart computer. This is not Operating System install but listed as Operating System. Any thoughts?

If you use OSD steps in your task sequence you will get this prompt.

Per Mikko:
Using any of following steps (and possibly others as well, I did not check all of them) will change the task sequence type from generic to OSD:
General - Join Domain or Workgroup
General - Restart Computer (Only "The boot image assigned to this task sequence" option)
Disks - Format and Partition Disk
User State - Request State Store
User State - Release State Store
Images - Apply Operating System Image
Images - Setup Windows and ConfigMgr

  • SCCM 2012 R2 Task Sequence Step "Install Package" downloads all content

    Hello,
    Task Sequence step "Install Package" I have several packages with multiple programs. When I use one of these packages with one of its programs it appears to download all the package content is there a workaround to stop this
    from happening?
    Regards!

    Hi,
    You could change it to run directly from the DP, then it will only use the files it needs and doesn't download anything at all. You will have to make sure that all the content needed by the task seqeunce is copied to the package share otherwise it will not
    work in a task sequence.
    The other would be to split up the package in multiple packages if that is possible.
    Regards,

  • Apple Software Update always lists AirPort Utility 5.3.1 for Windows

    Hi all.
    My Apple Software Update always lists AirPort Utility 5.3.1 for Windows as an available update. I've checked, and yes - it has been updated successfully. However, the update is still being listed in ASU as being available. Anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks,
    John

    Okay. If you like, we could check to see if the Airport Utility is being correctly recorded in your Windows Installer database.
    If interested in doing that, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (We're not going to be using it to remove anything just at the moment ... just check on the Installation database more closely.)
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now launch the utlity (Start > All programs > Windows Install Clean Up).
    What version number appears next to the Airport utility for you in there?
    For example, I just downloaded and installed the Airport Utility, and in my Installer CleanUp I'm seeing the Airport entry as "(All Users) AirPort \[5.3.1.9]".

    You are referring to OFFICE 2010, not Windows XP or 7.
    And which version of Windows do you have?
    NEVER begin before you have a backup, ideally one you have tested and know works.
    You don't really install Boot Camp, the Assistant is a partition tool utility.
    You may just want Office 2008 for Mac.
    If you need Office for Windows, perhaps run Windows in a VM like Parallels or Fusion.
    Buy some backup drives and start using TimeMachine for one backup, then weekly backup with SuperDuper.
    IF there is now a partition for Windows, all you need is to buy Windows, and I would recommend Windows 7 Home Premium (retail) which is about US$149.
    Has nothing to do with free space. Office 2010 isn't to boot from. In fact, you can copy the disc to a folder (1.25GB) and run SETUP from there.

  • How can I install after effects on 32 bit operating system?

    How can I install after effects on 32 bit operating system?
    I cant even find it in creative cloud.
    I want to make  a intro but it dossent allow me to even find/ istall it.
    I hope some one will help me by anwsering my question.
    Than you for time.

    If your system does not meet the minimum system requirements you have to go back to a version that does. Try the direct download links you'll find here.. CS5 comes bundled with CS4 for AE which is the last  version to run on a 32 bit system.

    Only with a whole lot of effort and instability.  As the new Minis have
    hardware (HD4000, USB 3.0, etc.) that is totally unsupported in old OSes.
    The only option would be to see if it would work by installing in a virtual machine
    running 10.6.8.  I'm sure there will be some performance hit but whether it would
    be enough to be unusable is the question.

    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Error 16389 running a Task Sequence to install software

    We've run into multiple WinXPProSP3 computers generating error code 16389 when trying to run a TS.  After searching on Google, we found this, 
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/smsandmom/archive/2007/10/29/sccm-2007-task-sequence-fails-drive-letter-not-displayed.aspx
    , which led to another article to modify a RegKey,  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} , to add a key of UpperFilters, with a value of PartMgr.  The key WAS missing on the machines with
    the error, and, adding that key and value DOES fix the problem.  This key and value seem to be default for the OS.
    However, searching Google for that RegKey has a LOT of suggestions to delete that key and value, due to issues with USB Thumbdrives and iPods not being seen when plugged in--so, it seems that there may be a conflict.
    Does anyone know of a fix for Error 16389 without having to add that key, if it's going to cause other problems?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Will you please past the detailed errors in the smsts.log?
    From your description your are using TS to install software right?
    If so you should first make sure this software package meats the following requirement when it was deployed through TS:
    this program can be installed under local system account.
    this program can be installed without any user interaction (such as: press next button).
    this program will not force computer reboot, it allows sccm ts to manage the reboot.
    If your OSD TS return 16389 exit code, you can try to change the volume license keys. Because once i have seem this error and it was solved by changing the volume license key.
    Hope this will help.
    Thanks

  • Task Sequence not installing patches

    Hi,
    In order to automate the patching process for servers, I have a task sequence that runs at a specific time which triggers a wuauclt.exe scan to check for updates. I have a software update group created with the patches that we want to install. This time
    around the patches were available in software center but were not installed. I just would like to clarify what I found as to what may be the reason for this. The task sequence that is deployed has an assignment schedule of 4/11/15 At 03:00 and will run for
    a maximum of 120 minutes. Checking the software update group scheduling properties, the software available time is set to 4/11/15 At 12:00.
    Would this be why the patches did not install because the software available time was after the task sequence was finished running?
    TIA

    Hi,
    The Software update muse be available to install through a TS as well, that is what I have seen in the past as well.

  • Orchestrator and SCCM 2012 integration: run task sequence and install assigned applications/packages?

    Dear,
    We do not have Orchestrator running in our SCCM 2012 R2 environment. Though I wonder if we could accomplish the following scenario with it:
    Task sequence Windows 7 => Orchestrator step which queries assigned installations to the computer object and installs them one by one.
    Could you advise?
    Kind regards,
    Stev.
    SteveWonB

    > > Define "assigned to computer objects". How is this done technically?
    Well, computer objects are members of collections via AD memberships, like the collection "W7-Google-Chrome" (exists of 100 computer objects).
    Deploy of packages is done to these collections. So a computer member of  "W7-Google-Chrome"  will automatically get Google Chrome.
    Some computers are member of 30 collections, some of 80.
    Goal is to have the task sequence run all applications/packages assigned (with their reboots if needed).
    Kind regards,

  • Installing windows to bootcamp: "error loading operating system"

    It doesn't matter whether I'm trying to install windows 7 or XP sp2 or XP sp3. I get the same Error. I've tried different CDs for each flavor too. (I believe in backup!) These are NOT bootlegged so that is not the issue.
    I have a 1.66MHz Macmini core duo with 2GB RAM, 250GB HD, running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. The Superdrive seems to work as I was able to burn an ISO to CD earlier today with no problems. I don't know what else to check.
    Has anyone else had this problem? or maybe have any ideas of what I can try further? Any help would be appreciated.  I usually don't need windows, but my Will software is PC and I need to update my paperwork.
