Applications Installed through task sequence not showing up in Software Center

In the task sequence we use for our OSD Windows 7 machine build, we have Custom-Install Application steps which install a number of of our Applications. Each of these Applications has the "Allow this application to be installed from the Install
Application task sequence action without being deployed" checkbox checked. All of the Applications have the following properties set:
Installation behavior: Install for system
Logon requirement: Whether or not a user is logged in
Installation program visibility: Hidden
When a machine is built using this task sequence, all of the Applications install successfully - they show up in Control Panel\Programs and Features, and they run correctly. However, none of them show up in the Software Center. I'm not seeing anything in
any of the logs that indicates a problem, and the Software Center remains empty even after running all the client evaluation cycle actions
Interestingly, if I add a couple of the newly build machines to a collection, then target deployments for the already installed Applications to that collection, after running the Machine Policy Retrieval and Evaluation Cycle the Applications immediately
show up in Software Center as installed.
Does anyone know if Applications installed through a task sequence do not show up in the Software Center by default, or could you give me some troubleshooting tips if this is not normal?
Thanks for any suggestions!
SCCM 2012 SP1, Single site, W7 clients

Why you deploy applications through task sequences? Task sequences are built and meant to be used with OSD, not application deployment.
To my knowledge, if you have application install step in a task sequence and you deploy that task sequence to a collection of machines, the software center on those machines only sees the task sequence itself, not the applications inside the task sequence.
If you want your applications to be shown in the software center, change the method of deploying stuff and deploy applications as they're are meant to.

Applications installed via Task sequence

Hi,
Before my time on SCCM someone previous to me decided to deploy a group of applications using a SCCM Task Sequence. Essentially all this does is install Applications in a certain order. The time has come to uninstall this group of applications.
I've managed to uninstall everything successfully by deploying each of the applications at a Uninstall Collection with the Uninstall Action. However, if I need to rollback and re-install the task sequence on a machine I have just removed all the applications
from, SCCM seems to think it is still installed?
I can't see any detection method on the Task sequence, and I've cleared the SCCM Cache. The PC is not in the install collection.
Is there something else on the client that tells it what task sequences have been deployed against it?

You might want to run some PowerShell instead then.
The following three commands will force a re-run of a TS
Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\ccm\scheduler" -Class ccm_scheduler_history | where {$_.ScheduleID -like "*<PackageID of Task Sequence>*"} | ft ScheduleID
Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\ccm\scheduler" -Class ccm_scheduler_history | where {$_.ScheduleID -like "*<PackageID of Task Sequence>*"} | Remove-WmiObject
Get-Service | where {$_.Name -eq "CCMExec"} | Restart-Service
Obviously set <PackageID of Task Sequence> to the actual PackageID such as 'CMR000A2'

Clients not showing apps in software center after update to CU4

I recently upgraded my SCCM2012 SP1 to CU4 in an effort to support our Macs some of which are running Mavericks. However, I have been noticing that many times when I do an OSD of a Windows computer one of a couple things will happen. If it is a computer
that is being re-imaged, it will only get a single app installed and no other apps will show up in Software Center. I also just today got a new computer and most of our apps are in SC but several are missing. They show up in the console as being deployed to
the machine in it's properties under Devices, but they just aren't getting to the computer. On the re-image computer many times I could just remove it entirely from SCCM then re-add it and it would work fine but with the new computer I'm at a loss as to what
to do. Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Is the device stuck in provisioning mode? That would block it from getting client policy (among other things).
To check, see ProvisioningMode = True under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CCM\CcmExec registry key.
This usually happens if an unsupported update gets installed while in the task sequence:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2894518/en-us
You can fix a broken client with this PowerShell command:
Invoke-WmiMethod -Namespace root\CCM -Class SMS_Client -Name SetClientProvisioningMode -ArgumentList $false
To keep them from breaking, use offline servicing to inject the updates into all of your images so they don't get installed during the task sequence.
I hope that helps,

Applications failing to install during task sequence

Hello All:
I am having a major issue deploying applications through task sequence. The errors in the smsts.log are useless and every single one of my 7 applications I have assigned to the task sequence fail with the same error. Here is a snippet...
Policy Evaluation failed, hr=0x87d00269 InstallApplication 12/5/2013 2:24:36 PM 1876 (0x0754)Setting TSEnv variable 'SMSTSAppPolicyEvaluationJobID__ScopeId_A8C9B482-A47E-433C-914C-DEDEE5465DFD/Application_72ba1d7c-710f-48e5-9295-bcdc07f5cdca'='' InstallApplication 12/5/2013 2:24:36 PM 1876 (0x0754)EvaluationJob complete InstallApplication 12/5/2013 2:24:36 PM 1876 (0x0754)MP list missing in WMI, sending message to location service to retrieve MP list and retrying.

The OS deploys, the Config Mgr client deploys, everything else appears to work except the applications.
All applications are silent installers that deploy perfectly through regular deployment.
Here is a link to my smsts.log - http://sdrv.ms/1kg8fiP
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Sorry about that previous post, I probably got distracted by a cat meme or something shiny ;)
I took at look at the full smsts logfile, and it seems to me that the detection method for the appmodel apps is failing. we aren't doing appmodel via TS as yet, so I don't know what "normal/expected" looks like when invoked via TS.
but it looks to me, that the detection methods is returning 0x87d00215 "app failed to evaluate" (which I'd expect at the time of a refresh), but it then returns 0x87d00269 "required MP not found", which seems very out-of-context
to me.
are there appenforce.log and other appmodel logs that coincide with this smsts.log?
I fear I'm misunderstanding what this log is saying, the language/terminology of DCM is still foreign to me.
does "app failed to evaluate" mean, "the app detection markers were not found" (i.e. the app is not present), or, does it mean "the methods crashed so cannot determine if the app is present or absent" ?
if all of this is based on generic DCM concepts, then we should be looking for a condition, and getting a present/absent or true/false or something plain like that.

Installing applications with new application model in task sequence - unstable?

I've heard that installing applications with new application model in task sequence is not as stable, as installing applications as packages in task sequence? What do you think?

The deployment type issue was resolved in R2 CU1 :

You could try updating your apple TV and then restarting it. Bit of a guess.

Hello, Thought I had just downloaded Mountain Lion butcannot find any evidence that it was installed. It is not showing as an icon anywhere and is not listed in downloads and is not listed under purchased apps. Have I just sat here for two hours watching a download that didn't happen? I do have a folder of incompatible software that's all.
How do I know it has been installed?

Hello and thanks. I downloaded the upgrade again after your reply to be sure and I believe all is operating smoothly now. Your reply gave me some confidence. I suspect I should not have clicked on a 'x' symbol soon after the download which may have accidentally deleted something before the download/installation process had been completed. Oops probably all my fault. Birdie39

OSD Tasks only available to PXE and media showed up in Software Center on a server!

OK so I'm getting a selected windows 2008 r2 server setup with its SCCM client cert, I get the client installed on there - everything's looking great, I see updates and CI's and policies all coming down nicely watching the client logs... I open up software
center thinking I'll go on ahead and kick off the 2 available windows updates and to my horror I see my OSD Task Sequence deployments (Available) sitting there in software center. These are all set for visibility only to PXE and media - NEVER software center
- every single one of them - and I've triple-checked every one since I saw this and also verified they don't show up on a client workstation. I deleted the deployments for these task sequences and grabbed the \windows\ccm\logs directory in full off the server
for review... How in the flying heck did these task sequences show up in Software Center on my server's newly installed client / software center???

Aha! Thanks Mr Sandys! Sure enough the client hasn't upgraded yet and is at 5.00.7711.0000.
I have automatic sitewide client upgrade configured (within 1 day) - guess I'll wait to see if it updates or not. Shouldn't pushing the client from my CM server send the latest client X_X ?

Why are Facebook notifications not showing up in Notification Center?

On OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 Facebook account is setup in Internet Accounts preference pane in System Preferences.
Facebook is configured in Notifications preference pane in System Preferences.
The Share Buttons widget is configured in Notifications preference pane in System Preferences.
When I view my Facebook account via my web browser I usually have notifications available, but these notifications are not showing up in Notification Center.
I do receive Calendar, Mail, etc. notifications in Notification Center so I know it works.
I can send posts to Facebook via the Share Buttons widget in Notification Center, but presently I can receive nothing from Facebook..
Anyone know of a solution to this problem?
Thanks!
P.S. I read in another thread how Facebook can be setup in iMessage, but I don't want to use iMessage if I can get Notification Center to function properly.

I got it to work yesterday. I tried none of the advice from discussions dealing with changing settings, enabling/disabling accounts, terminal commands, etc. All I did was ask a Facebook friend to respond to a post, and I was able to see the notifications in Notification Center.
I know most have their settings configured correctly in System Preferences, but this is how my preferences are configured on OS X Mavericks 10.9.3:
(1) Internet Accounts preference pane:
There isn't much to configure here. I signed into my Facebook account. I checked or unchecked the Calendar and Contacts selections. It doesn't matter. I left the Description, found in the Details button window, as Facebook, but it doesn't matter, either.
(2) Notifications preference pane:
Facebook alert style is set to Banners, but Alerts will also work just fine. This setting is crucial because if it's set to None, no alerts will be received. I left Show notifications on lock screen unchecked, but it doesn't matter if I check it or not. And I put a check mark in Show in Notification Center, and the number of Recent Items can be set to whatever available setting desired, mine is set to 20 Recent Items.
(3) Notifications preference pane:
I placed a check mark on Show share button notifications in Notification Center, which is found when Share Button is selected in the list of notifications like Facebook, Calendar, Mail etc.
Again, I did nothing else, and it just works. As a side note: before I got it to work I called AppleCare and a senior advisor spent considerable time with me trying to find out why it wasn't working. And his last bit of advice was that I should reinstall the OS. He needs retraining because that bit of advice was ill-advised, to say the least.
I simply had no experience with receiving Facebook notifications in Notification Center 'on OS X', and the AppleCare employees had no training in this area, but if Notification Center is part of OS X, and Facebook notifications are part of Notification Center training in this area should be standard, but the AppleCare employees were guessing, not advising, which certainly is not technical support. Hence, my AppleCare dollars were not at work as expected.
So without prior knowledge as to how the specifics of 'Facebook' notifications worked in Notification Center on OS X, my assumption was I would be notified each time someone tagged me, someone liked a comment, post or photo of mine, someone commented on one of my posts, or someone sent me a direct message.
When I asked one of my Facebook friends to help me test it out, the following occurred (I don't remember if I had Safari up and running at this time - Note: I was signed into Facebook via Safari. I say this because AppleCare employees did explain on OS X some applications must be launched in order to received notifications, which in my mind is wasted time and code for Apple developers. Why offer notifications if the application is already launched? Ridiculous, if you ask me. That's what configuring each applications preference to set badge app icons, if it's not already coded by default.):
(1) I sent a Facebook post via Notification Center using the Facebook Share Button.
(2) I communicated with one of my Facebook friends by private message via iOS device and asked for a response to the post I sent.
(3) My Facebook friend responded to my private message, but I don't remember if I received a notification in Notification Center.
(4) My Facebook friend liked my post, shared my post, and commented on my post. I received two separate notifications in Notification Center on OS X, yet I received notifications on Facebook for all three actions, seen via iOS device. By the way, I wish Notification Center notifications would stay in Notification Center until we manually remove them. If they did stay until we manually remove them I would have time to find out which action of my friend I was received the notification for in Notification Center.
That's it!

Just do not update the iOS on the iPod. The only time you have to update is if the iPod has a problem and you have to restore via iTunes. Apple set up iTunes such that when you restore, the iPod is automatically updated to the latest iOS version for that iPod
