Application support for OSD Task sequence

Hi
An Application with Priority 2 deployment type as “Only when a used is logged in” and Priority 1 deployment type as “whether or not a user logged in”.In this case ,We are not able to include the applications in task sequence.
These circumstance makes OSD related applications needs to be duplicated for Task sequence support.
Please guide to make an application to support Task sequence and as well user interacion(software center) with diffrent deployment type..
Thanks

Hi
I am not able to include application in Task Sequence on below condition.
Priority 2 deployment type as “Only when a used is logged in” and Priority 1 deployment type as “whether or not a user
logged in.
Thanks for support

Non-Deployed Applications in OSD Task Sequence Are Deployed To Collection Members where OSD TS is deployed

Hello,
I have a situation where an application (which is not deployed) that is part of an OSD Task Sequence is being deployed to computers that are in the same collection my TS for OSD is deployed.
For OSD I have created an application to check the BIOS version and upgrade the BIOS if there is a newer one available. The application has numerous deployment types (13) due to various hardware models and the requirement to go to several intermediary BIOS
versions to reach the current newest version. There are dependencies configured to handle these incremental bumps.
The OSD TS is deployed to a collection that contains all windows desktop class operating systems. What I have seen happen once is that one users workstation somehow discovered and installed the BIOS Upgrade package and their BIOS was upgraded on their workstation.
I've checked the logs on several other machines and this same application has been run as well.
The application is configured "Allow this application to be installed from the Install Applications
task sequence action without being deployed" which allows it to be ran from a TS even though it is not deployed.
I have verified the application is not deployed. I have verified there are no superceedence rules configured. As I stated, there are dependencies, but all dependencies are within this one application.
What I do not understand is, how can an application that is not
deployed and is only referenced in an Operating System Deployment Task Sequence able to be ran outside the task sequence?
This is/has occurred with computers imaged with cm2012 and with computers imaged with cm2007 who have now been migrated to cm2012.
I'm fairly sure that it is due to the task sequence and where it is advertised. Computers that are not in this collection do not show the application being applied in the AppEnforce.log. If it is the TS that is causing this, how can something that is designed
to be a "sequence of tasks", allow something to occur out of that sequence?
Current environment is CM2012R2.
Any thoughts to what might be happening?
Thanks

Hello,
After working with Microsoft Support, we were able to resolve the issue.
Turns out there was something (old policies) "stuck" in the SCCM database that was causing this to be advertised outside the task sequence and not visible on the console. While they didn't call this "a bug" since it has happens with CM2007 as well, it definitely
was not normal behavior. Still not sure how that could happen as I'm 99.99% sure I never deployed this to any collection, but that's what they said.
It took several hours of support rooting through the database to figure out what was going on but after some SQL magic it was fixed. Sorry I don't have more specifics regarding the fix. MS basically said "If it happens again you can do this this and this
in the db and voila its fixed". Since I'm likely to cause more damage (messing with the database) then good if it were to happen again I'd contact them.
Anyway, this odd behavior has spooked me and I've reverted back to deploying the TS to the unknown computer collection. As much as it disappoints me to take a step back and cause more work for the guys doing the imaging, the extra safety this grants (if
something like this or worse were to happen) I think is better than an OSD task sequence gone wild.
Thanks,

SCCM 2012 OSD Task Sequence Fails "An error occurred while retrieving policy for this computer"

We have SCCM 2012 R2. I amm trying to start OSD task sequence from bootable media.
Hyper-v client gets DHCP ip and starts MDT bootable media, but could not find policy.
From F8 I can ping SCCM/DP/MP server.
What could be the cause?

Yes, this DHCP client is in the same subnet as other working clients.

OSD - USB insert media #1 for the task sequence

Hi
I'm creating a standalone media for USB
Step that I did
1. Create a Standalone media to .iso files
2. Diskpart - I prepared the USB using the diskpart command
3. Extract the standalone.iso files in the USB (copy the contents)
everything is work fine, exempt the packages that I included in the stanadlone TS is NOT installed and asking for "insert media #1 for the task sequence"
This issue arise only when I used the USB
Content of T.S (stand alone task sequence)
a. Windows 7 and company standard application
b. Packages 1 : Install the 7Zip
c. Packages 2 : Install the update for the acrobat reader
I don't want to recreate the images due to minor changes and it will consume time also, that's why I added in the T.S place in USB
Please advise , what is wrong
Robert

Hi,
We also get the same problem, and at the time it occurs the USB stick does not show up in notepad, or in diskpart list disk.
It happens after the windows 7 image is apply just as it's trying to install the applications.

Prompt for AD Description OSD Task Sequence

Hello,
I want to be prompted for AD Description while OSD Task Sequence, tried couple of scripts from different blogs but couldn't got any result. Need help from your side.
Thanks
REGARDS DANISH DANIE

The setting which are described in this blog i have deployed on Test Task Sequence but that didnt work for me in that sense that its doesnt Prompt for Description while installation.
"http://ccmexec.com/2012/01/set-computer-description-during-osd/"
While in the second blog writer already said that "description does not filter back to AD it only remains local to the machine" So i want that description in AD.
What i want... a script that prompt for description are changes made on AD in computer account description.
Hope you have got my point?

Does "Distribute content" on the right click menu for a OSD Task sequence also REDISTRIBUTE packages?

I have a task sequence with quite a few packages that have already been distributed. But that same task sequence has far more that have never been distributed.
When you Right click a SCCM OSD Task sequence and select "Distribute Content", does it also redistribute content that's already been distributed to existing DP's, or just the packages that have never been distributed?

Hi,
You can only select DP's that don't have the Packages required by the Task Seqeunce so no you cannot use it to update the DP's

Creative Cloud: "Build" MSI Hangs During SCCM OSD Task Sequence Installation

I wanted to share problem and solution I found when deploying Creative Cloud Packager-created packages/application using SCCM 2012 R2. I encountered this problem packaging this as both a Package and as an Application in SCCM.
When installing the software through SCCM Software Center onto a client, Software Center would close right as the installation of the "Build" folder MSI completed. This is abnormal behavior.
When installing the application as part of an OSD Task Sequence, the software would get installed (as shown by logs) but SCCM would hang forever at the "Installing Application" step.
I tried all sorts of different settings in SCCM and with the MSIEXEC command line and eventually traced it to the Reboot Manager functionality in MSIEXEC that will close and attempt to restart processes using files that the installer needs. Reboot Manager clobbered part of SCCM and in the Task Sequence, the connection between SCCM and the installer was broken.
The solution is to pass the property "MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL=Disable" along the command line when calling MSIEXEC on the Build folder MSI file. This setting disabled Restart Manager so it didn't mess up SCCM. Once I did this, my Software Center installs and OSD Task Sequences ran as intended.
For reference, I used the REBOOT=ReallySuppress property for reboots and let SCCM determine what to do with reboots based on the return code. My testing was done with Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64.

Like said, did you configure my proposal: "Configuration Manager client will force a mandatory device
restart" ? After you've configured that, update your deployment type manually and remove the old revisions of the application and try running the TS again. I'm guessing you're a little bit too fast on your doings so the ConfigMgr doesn't play a long very
nicely...
The TS stops because of your Hard Reboot (exit code 1641), I've seen this before and I configured my application so that ConfigMgr client will force device restart and that fixed my problem. Although, also my application is the last one in the TS, but still,
the TS continues after the reboot.
Btw. have you tried changing your command line to:
msiexec.exe /i cd-ord.msi TRANSFORMS=sv-se.mst MVLICENSE_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /L*V "%temp%\cdord.log" /qn
/norestart

Dell Driver Packages breaks OSD Task Sequences?

I'm completely stumped here... I had an OSD Task Sequence that was working perfectly. Then I imported some Dell Driver Packages with the Dell Client Integration Pack and suddenly, OSD doesn't work anymore.. I made no changes to the Task Sequence itself (steps
are listed below).
The weird thing is, when the OSD is actually running, the progress bar goes through all of the steps and the Monitoring space on the deployment shows each step completing successfully, but every step after "Apply Operating System" doesn't actually
take effect. When rebooted, I find the computer has not joined the domain, has not applied any drivers, has not installed the SCCM client, didn't install any of the applications, and didn't install the updates. It's like the task sequence just
stopped actually writing to the hard drive and just pretended to go through the motions.
Does anyone have any idea what could have happened? This same task sequence used to work just fine. Could just having driver packages available on the DPs break the OSD even though they're not even referenced in the task sequence?

As Torsten said, yes, you will need to examine the logs. Post the contents of smsts.log here if you don't know what to look for
Here's a reference to help you find the location of the logs:

Also:
What OS are you trying to apply?
What version of WinPE are you using?
Are you using Auto Apply Drivers or Apply Driver Package steps to install drivers? If Auto Apply Drivers, do you have them limited by category?

Install Software Updates fails (timeouts) during OSD Task Sequence

Hi
As one of the lasts steps in our OSD Task Sequence we have an "Install Software Update" step where "Mandatory Software Updates" is choosen. It worked a week ago, but now the step fails with error code 0x800705B4
(This operation returned because the timeout period expired.)
When examining the WindowsUpdate.log I see an error followed by several minutes without log activity:

UDI OSD Task Sequences started failing with 0x80070002 error in SCCM 2012

This is kind of long, but here goes...
We built a UDI task sequence in SCCM 2012 (with MDT integration) that we were testing for deployment of a couple of different Win7 images. We customized the UDI experience thru the UDI wizard and XML file and OS deployment worked as expected
thru the task sequence (testing on Hyper-V VMs). Recently, this UDI TS started failing with error 0x80070002 during what appears to be the "Use Toolkit Package" step. This is after the OS image has already been laid down and after the ConfigMgr
client has been installed/configured. The SMSTS.log reports "Failed to open the task sequence key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Task Sequence. Error code 0x8007002" Among other errors...I will post the entire log below...
After the error during deployment, Win7 will boot normally, however, you have no network connectivity and it appears the proper network driver didn't get loaded in the OS. Combine this with the fact that the TS should have joined the machine to our domain,
but you can't login because no network.. Im not sure if the network issue is a product of the TS failing early or the actual cause of the TS failure.
Anyway, I attempted to build another UDI task sequence using the same boot image and toolkit/settings packages, but am experiencing the same error during deployment. We have a few OSD task sequences built without UDI and those all still work just fine.
So, I am at a loss for where the root problem lies. Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the entire SMSTS.log and BDD.log...

Auto Login as part of OSD Task Sequence

Hi,
I am wondering if there is a way to force a Login with a specified account to Windows as part of an OSD. I have an command in the registry in HKEY Local Machine...../RunOnce that needs to run before the end user uses their computer.
Unfortunatly, it just will not run as part of a "Run Command Line" Task.
I can accomlish this by using the GUIUNATTEND AutoLogon in Sysprep, but that also presents some challenges. If there was a way in the OSD Task Sequence that I could force a login with a specified account and then logout, that would be great.
Thanks
Rosy_55

The code (vb) below would be created into a step as an application installation or package installation as the second to last step, the last step would be to reboot into the default OS.
This will, during OSD set a autologin account to login until rebooted, once done the last step will reboot and log into windows, the runonce section will then run gpupdate, and then restart the machine.
It will only login once. Modify as needed.
Note that you need to modify the sUsername = "domain\user", and sPassword = "domainuserpassword"
variables.

Whats the best way to apply office updates during OSD task sequence with Software Update Agent disabled?

I am trying to update office via the SCCM 2012 R2 OSD task sequence. I know offline updating only updates the core components in the WIM and I'm trying to figure out how to add office updates as well. I am aware of using powershell to try and kick off
a WU scan as seen here:
http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2012/01/24/use-powershell-commands-to-assist-with-patching-during-sccm-image-build/
But the kicker is we don't use SCCM to update the workstations (Solo WSUS install). Is there a way to do this (maybe set the client in the TS to switch on SUP, then off again when it goes off into production) rather than have to build a new image every month?

You could use the ZTI_WindowsUpdates.wsf script from MDT.
http://scriptimus.wordpress.com/2012/03/22/mdt-2012-automating-updates-in-lite-touch-deployments/
How does it work?
The task sequence steps run a script called ZTIWindowsUpdate.wsf. The script uses the
Windows Update Agent API to manage the downloading and installation of updates. All audit information is written to the
ZTIWindowsUpdate.log file. If you find any unusual error codes in your log returned from the API (although I never have) you can compare the codes
here. The script will also check and update the
Windows Update Agent(WUA) as needed at the start.
In its default state, the ZTIWindowsUpdate.wsf script will connect to Microsoft Update then search for and download all available updates including Security Patches, Drivers, Browser Updates and Service Packs. This is essentially the same
as opening the GUI and selecting check for updates.

PXE OSD Task Sequence fails to run on new laptop

We are trying to run a working PXE OSD task sequence on a new HP laptop. It's a Elitebook 840 G2. We've downloaded the provided driver package & created a new driver package in SCCM. We inserted the driver into the boot image &
updated the DPs. When we PXE boot the laptop it flashes the splash screen & reboots. Other laptops & desktops boot properly. This looks like a driver issue but we wanted to run it past the forum to see if anyone had any other suggestions.
The SMSTS log file is copied below.

Cant get 2013 data base AdminPassword= to work in OSD task sequence

I'm using the MDT database to consolidate five windows 7 task sequences on five SCCM2007 site servers to one task sequence on one 2012 R2 site server. I got my locations by ip subnet working and most of the settings applied successfully, Join Domain, add
a group to the local  admin group, but I can't seem to get the AdminPassword=MyPassword to work.
I've got an "apply windows settings" step in my task sequence. But the machine keeps getting what ever its password is set to.
If I leave it bland then I get a blank password etc.. If I run without the "apply windows settings" step then then the task sequence fails and finishes with a mini setup prompting for a computer name. I can see the other values that are collected
in the Bdd.log:
Remapping variables.
Property OSDDomainName is now = My.Domain
<Message containing password has been suppressed>
I even tried adding the default setting directly to the customsettings.ini file: AdminPassword=MyPassword. But the workstation still takes its password from the "apply windows step". I'm going to try and enable debug logging and see if the log
has anything about the local admin password. Anyone have any ideas? What am I doing wrong here?
[Settings]
Priority=LSettings, LAdmins,
[Default]
OSInstall=Y
SkipCapture=YES
SkipAdminPassword=NO
SkipProductKey=NO
SkipComputerBackup=YES
SkipBitLocker=YES

I wrote\borrowed\modified a powershell script that gets the value of the base 64 encoded AdminPassword variable from the MDTDB, decodes it and applys it to the OSDLocalAdminPassword.
This runs after the gather step in my OSD task sequence and before the Apply Windows Settings step.
I never figured out why this was necessary but it works. Here is the power shell script if anyone has a similar problem:

Function Base64Decode($textBase64In)
    $b = [System.Convert]::FromBase64String($textBase64In)
    $decoded = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetString($b)
    return $decoded
$tsenv = New-Object -COMObject Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment
$password = $tsenv.Value("AdminPassword")
$base64out = Base64Decode($password)
$tsenv.Value("OSDLocalAdminPassword") = $base64out

OSD Task Sequence fails to install SCCM client

Hello,
Our OSD task sequence fails to install the SCCM client with certain images.
The TS gets to the "Setup Windows and Configuration" step, during which it downloads all the necessary SCCM client files (silverlight, C++ redistributable, client.msi....etc.). At this point computer restarts and in never loads back into the
task sequence, instead it enters the minisetup (setup is starting services, setup is installing devices, setup is applying system settings...preparing computer for first use), after which the computer restarts and you are back at the CTR+ALT+Del screen.
The computer has joined the domain and has run all other steps but it has failed to install SCCM client. I can also see the leftovers of an incomplete TS under c:\_SMSTaskSequence
If we change the image specified under "Apply Operating System" step, everything works ok.
It appears there is something wrong with this particular image. Any ideas?
Logs show no errors. Let me know which logs you'd like me to post (and from which location)
There is no ccm folder under c:\windows

Hoping you are using ConfigMgr 2012 R2. If a client machine Join to Domain and doesn't proceed with other steps and not installing the CCM client, then problem seems to be with the Image.Do you have any RunOnce registry setting specified in the Image? You
can mount the Image and check those settings.
RunOnce Key Reference :
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa376977(v=vs.85).aspx
If the above key is present in the Image, TS Engine won't resume after the reboot.
You need to use a new variable "SMSTSPostAction" at the end of the Task Sequence, to add your custom actions.
The above variable is applicable in CM 2012 SP1 and R2.
