Deploy Powershell Script As An Application Install Question

I want to create an application (not packages) to run a powershell script to install a software. In this script it installs software and copies files over to different directories. Is there a way to do this in Applications? Currently I've been creating
task sequences to accomplish this which does work but I was wondering if this could be done thru applications or maybe if there is some better idea of doing this. Any advice would be grateful. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Any updates?
If this problem has not been resolved, please check AppIntentEval.log and AppEnforce.log to see whether there are some helpful information.
" I can run it manually from the ccmcache folder and it'll install the software but when running the "install.ps1" file from SCCM it doesn't install the software but does copy files to the directory specified."
Could this be related to the account running the script? How about running as system account?
Best Regards,
Joyce

Deploy powershell script - Uninstall Forefront

Hi
Im trying to build a powershell script that uninstall Forefront Client and later install SCEP and it also copy the local exclusions from Forefront to insert in SCEP (registry).
All works fine when Im running the script locally, but when Im deploying it from Altiris DS it halts on Microsoft Forefront Client Security Antimalware Service". Every time, I also have tried to sort them differently but it wont work.
All I see in the event viewer is a warning:
"Application 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Forefront\Client Security\Client\Antimalware\MSASCui.exe' (pid 1964) cannot be restarted - Application SID does not match Conductor SID.."
And then later an error:
HRESULT:0x80070643
Description:Cannot complete the System Center Endpoint Protection installation. An error has prevented the System Center Endpoint Protection setup wizard from completing successfully. Please restart your computer and try again. Error code:0x80070643. Fatal
error during installation.
This is the deployment from Altiris:
powershell.exe -noexit "& 'C:\Temp\ForefrontSCEP.ps1'"
Does anyone has any clue?
Cheers!

# Install SCEP with policy
Start-Process -FilePath C:\Temp\SCEPClient_New\scepinstall.exe -ArgumentList "/s /q /policy C:\Temp\SCEPClient_New\ServerSCEP.xml" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

I finally solved, in two ways.
For the powershell part:
I changed the name match against a filter function. So now I can deploy the powershell script just fine.
$app = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object {
    $_.Name -match "Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 Agent"
$application = Get-WMIObject Win32_Product -filter "Name='Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 Agent'"
2nd solution:
I also created a batch file which worked at my first try. Gotta love the old fashion way :)
I post it here as well, maybe somebody can get use of it.

Error while adding the app in the sharepoint(2013) page through powershell script

Hi,
    I have created one powershell script to uninstall and install the sharepoint 2013 apps. The code is working fine, but after adding the app in the page I am getting the error "
Internet Explorer can not display the webpage".
If I am deploying the app through Visual Studio, its getting deployed successfully and I am getting an option to trust the app.And I am able to add it in the page. But this permission is not coming when I am installing the app using power shell.
Please let me know whether to do any modifications to the power shell script.
Thanks.

Running PowerShell Script to automate the installation of IIS feature - Add-WindowsFeature error, help please

I'm just learning PS scripting and Chef Programming, so I'm sure I'm missing something simple. I'm trying to run a recipe that is using PS as the interpreter. I've ensured I'm running PS in 64 bit with admin privileges, and have Imported the ServerManager

Hi There,
We have a application named Microsoft SCOM. That as well requires ISS to be installed. I tried this long back and it worked in powershell. Below is the powershell script i used to install IIS and some specific features from it. Hope it helps in altering
it and making one of your own script.
1. Launch the PowerShell command
prompt
Run this command
Import-Module ServerManager
3. Press Enter
4. Run this
command
Add-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-Core,Web-Metabase,Web-WMI,Web-Static-Content,Web-Default-Doc,Web-Dir-Browsing,Web-Http-Errors,Web-Asp-Net,Web-Net-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Ext,Web-ISAPI-Filter,Web-Filtering,Web-Windows-Auth,

How to get deployment time of an J2EE application

Hi All,
I am developing J2EE applications on NetWeaver 7.0 and 7.1. In my application, I need to get deployment time of a J2EE application installed in the J2EE engine.
For NetWeaver 7.1, I found SAP's Java APIs to do that:
com.sap.engine.services.deploy.server.cache.dpl_info.Applications.get("appName").getMonitorData().getDateOfLastRedeployment();
But for NetWeaver 7.0, I haven't found any similar stuffs.
Could you give me any helps for the case of NetWeaver 7.0?
Thank you very much.
Viet

I'm not 100% sure but you may be able to turn on tracing for the Java stack "Deploy" service.
In Visual Administrator, go to "Global Conf [Server] -> services -> Deploy" change additional_debug_info.
Then in "Cluster [server x] -> services -> log configurator [locations] -> com -> sap -> engine -> services -> deploy" change the debug level to "Info" or something.
This should put some additional tracing out to the trace files which can be viewed in the Log Viewer.
Don't forget to reset the trace level when you're done.

MDT application install returns unexpected return code: 16

Hi, I'm using MDT 2013 (Version: 6.2.5019.0) and deploying Server 2012 R2 Standard.
The deployment runs fine, but an application install fails. Here is the relevant content from the BDD.LOG file:
Run Command: \\MDT\Share$\Tools\X64\bddrun.exe robocopy \\MDT\Share$\BuildFiles "C:" /MIR /W:5 /R:3 /LOG \\MDT\Share$\LOGS
ZTI installing application
About to run command: \\MDT\Share$\Tools\X64\bddrun.exe robocopy \\MDT\Share$\BuildFiles "C:" /MIR /W:5 /R:3 /LOG \\MDT\Share$\LOGS
Command has been started (process ID 2896)
Return code from command = 16
Application Copy Files 1.0 returned an unexpected return code: 16
Property InstalledApplications001 is now = {9d0ba76d-96f9-4f4f-a6b8-4b1d0ffd2007}
ZTIApplications processing completed successfully.
I've searched for the error code 16 but can't find any results. What does it mean?
Cheers.

I think that I may have found the solution. On different site I've found the robocopy exit codes and 16 is listed there as "Robocopy
did not copy any files. Check the command line parameters and verify that Robocopy has enough rights to write to the destination folder."
I guess that I need to alter the destination folder to something other than the root of C:\
I'll respond with the result later.
UPDATE: Yep, that was the problem.

Application deployment evaluation powershell script

Hi,
Is there a way that I can run a powershell script or vbs script that will allow me to run the Client actions on the local client. kind of like a shortcut that will go into the configuration manager client control panel icon and run the client action required.
Specifically for the Application Deployment Evaluation
Any help would be appreciated
Regards
Mike

Hi,
Check out this old thread on the topic,
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/9ec7318f-4ab7-4db3-bfa5-958ab1c39f4f/application-deployment-evaluation-cycle-not-willing-to-start-by-script?forum=configmanagersdk
An example is included in there as well.
You can also use the Right-click tools extensions in the console which include this action as well.

Trying to deploy a batch or powershell script unsuccessful

I've deployed a .cmd file out that contains a WMI script to uninstall all instances of an application called "VirtViewer". The script looks like this:
taskkill /F /IM remote-viewer.exe /T
wmic product where "name like 'VirtViewer%%'" call uninstall /nointeractive
exit /B %EXIT_CODE%
Previously, I had used MSI product codes for the uninstall, and got the same result. My original problem, is that there are currently 9 different versions of this app out there, so i am ripping them all out and replacing with 1 version. Installing over an
old version does not overwrite the older one, it instead installs a new instance.
Reading through the execmgr.log on the client, everything looks as it should.
The end result, is that nothing happens. I had originally set the program to run as hidden, but then changed it to normal but still do not see it run. The application is right where i left it, untouched. If i run the script locally it works fine, but not
when deployed. Am i missing something??

I just tried using powershell to accomplish the same task, and got the same result. Script ran fine, but nothing resulted. 0 errors in the execmgr.log on the client.
Program options:
Command Line: Powershell.exe -executionpolicy Bypass -file .\VirtUninstall.ps1
the powershell script looks like this:
$app = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object {$_.Name -match "VirtViewer*"}
$app.Uninstall()
exit /B
Again, the script runs great when launched locally, but not wehen deployed

SCCM 2012 application run Powershell script and return codes

Hi,
I created an new application (imported as MSI) in SCCM 2012R2. After import I changed the deployment type installation program to run a Powershell script: powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -File "Install FactSet 2013 5I.ps1
My goal is to close some processes before installing the MSI. This works. But on a failure the application program also return code 0 (AppEnforce.log). Is it possible to pass the MSI return codes to SCCM.
Maybe anyone had the same or idea's to solve this? Thanks in advance.

Peter

It's really hard to tell from the code above because of the way it's listed, but are sure that even executes? I see at least one stray curly brace and a stray square bracket.
For the Start-Process cmdlet, have you tried without the -passthru parameter?
Also, using the actual parameters will make the code much more readable instead of relying on position.

Powershell scripting multiple WSP deployment

I'm moving an application with around 40 custom WSPs to a new environment, and need to find a way to script their deployment. Around half of them are Globally deployed.
I can deploy them one at a time using
add-spsolution –literalpath c:\...\SolutionName.wsp
Check _admin/solutions.aspx to ensure it's in Solution Management
Select wsp and Deploy Solution
Go to application
Site Actions > Site Settings > Site Collection Administration > Site Collection Features
Activate new feature
Can anyone point out documentation on how to do this in an automated fashion?
Thanks,
Scott

SharePoint PowerShell script to open Excel.Application on Windows server 2008 R2

Hi
I am building a PowerShell script to open an Excel file store on SharePoint document library. Sound simple enough but I just couldn't get over an error and hopefully someone can help give an answer here.
I have found many sample codes to use. All of the sample codes show that a new object must be created for Excel application
like ($Excel = New-Object -comobject Excel.Application) before that excel file can be read.
When I run this comand on a SharePoint server (Windows 2008 R2) either inside the script or by itself I keep getting the following error:
New-Object : Cannot load COM type Excel.Application.
+ $excel = New-Object <<<< -Com Excel.Application
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidType: (:) [New-Object], PSArgumentException
For the test, I ran this comand on a Windows 7 with MS Office applications installed, then it ran fine.
Is that because I don't have Office application (Excel) installed on the server to run this or some services need to be turned on?
From the sample codes, look like I should be able to run it on the Server with SharePoint installed.
Thanks for any advice or solution to resolve my issue.
Swanl

So I'm assuming this won't return anything either?
Get-WMIObject Win32_ClassicCOMClassSetting | ? {$_.VersionIndependentProgId -like 'excel.application'}
You need Office/Excel installed on the server because you're accessing those .DLLs for the automation functionality, but depending on what you're trying to do you may be able to use one of the office viewers:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10 although I'm not sure how much of the com (if any) is exposed in a viewer install. if Office is not possible due to
budget reasons, I believe there are several 3rd party providers who can produce a com object that will handle Excel formats.

Powershell script deployment options in CM2012

Hello all,
I really don't know anything about PowerShell, but I found this interesting script to help with client issues. It references an input file that I can modify. My silly question is, what is the best way to use this script in CM2012? Try to create a package
and use this, create a task sequence or query? I am unsure how to use this. Any help/guidance/links would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,
ConfigMgr questions should be asked in a ConfigMgr forum:

At a quick glance though, you shouldn't be deploying this anywhere. Just run it.

Executing SCVMM PowerShell scripts via C# conditionally works depending on application type

I suspect that this is the wrong forum but I could not find one that was appropriate.
The environment is SCVMM 2012 R2. I have a series of PowerShell scripts that are executed via C# code from a variety of applications -- MVC, WCF, console, unit tests. It seems that successful connection to the VMM server is dependent on the type of application
being used. For example, console apps and WCF apps can connect successfully but the
same code running in a unit test or standard MVC app throw the following exception:
{You cannot access VMM management server SC-01. (Error ID: 1604)
Contact the Virtual Machine Manager administrator to verify that your account is a member of a valid user role and then try the operation again.}
CategoryInfo: {ReadError: (:) [Get-SCVirtualMachine], CarmineException}
ErrorDetails: {You cannot access VMM management server SC-01. (Error ID: 1604)
Contact the Virtual Machine Manager administrator to verify that your account is a member of a valid user role and then try the operation again.}
Exception: {"You cannot access VMM management server SC-01.\r\nContact the Virtual Machine Manager administrator to verify that your account is a member of a valid user role and then try the operation again."}
FullyQualifiedErrorId: "1604,Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager.Cmdlets.GetVMCmdlet"
InvocationInfo: Command = {Get-SCVirtualMachine}
PipelineIterationInfo: Count = 0
ScriptStackTrace: "at <ScriptBlock>, <No file>: line 1"
TargetObject: null
I suspect that somehow, each app is running under different credentials but I cannot see how that is possible. Each app exhibits the stated behavior whether running within Visual Studio (w/ IIS Express) [running under my own account] or published to the
server running under a specific specified account that definitely has permissions to the VMM environment.
This behavior is easily reproducible with the following code
-- PS Script as embedded resource
Get-SCVirtualMachine -VMMServer "SC-01"
-- C# code to load and execute script
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Management.Automation;
namespace LabManagement {
public class HyperVVirtualMachineManager {
public IEnumerable<Models.VirtualMachine> GetVirtualMachines() {
var vms = new List<Models.VirtualMachine>();
try {
using (var rs = System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace()) {
rs.Open();
using (var ps = PowerShell.Create()) {
ps.Runspace = rs;
var assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
var scriptName = "LabManagement.Scripts.GetAllVirtualMachines.ps1";
using (var s = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(scriptName)) {
using (var reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(s)) {
var script = reader.ReadToEnd();
ps.AddScript(script);
var output = ps.Invoke();
if (ps.Streams.Error.Count > 0) {
foreach (var item in ps.Streams.Error) {
// do something
if (output.Count > 0) {
foreach (var o in output) {
// do something
rs.Close();
catch (RuntimeException ex) {
// do something
return vms;
-- Console app (Success)
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace VirtualLabManagement.ConsoleTests {
class Program {
static void Main(string[] args) {
// Arrange
var svc = new LabManagement.HyperVVirtualMachineManager();
// Act
var hosts = svc.GetVirtualMachines();
// Assert
-- Unit Test (Fails)
[TestMethod]
public void TestMethod1() {
// Arrange
var svc = new LabManagement.HyperVVirtualMachineManager();
// Act
var hosts = svc.GetVirtualMachines();
// Assert
Assert.IsNull(hosts);
As you can see, the code is exactly the same between the different executions but the ability to connect differs.

Hi Sir,
I would like to check the following items:
1. "a variety of applications -- MVC, WCF, console, unit tests." they are all installed on same computer?
2. VMM server still installed on same computer as these app resides in ?
(if it is possible please detail the topology of the environment )
If they are running at same account on same computer , I would suggest you to post this issue into Code UI forum for further assistance :

Which is better approach to manage sharepoint online - PowerShell Script with CSOM or Console Application with CSOM?

Which is better approach to manage sharepoint online - PowerShell Script with CSOM or Console Application with CSOM?
change in sharepoint scripts not require compilation but anything else?

Yes, PowerShell is great, since you can quick change your code without compilation.
SP admin can write ps scripts without specific tools like Visual Studio.
With powershell you can use cmdlets,
which could remove a lot of code, for example restarting a service.
