Deploying AMD Catalyst software via task sequence

I am trying to have the AMD Catalyst software installed on all machines with an AMD video card. Right now I am using a WMI query in my task sequence on the video controller. When I image the machine, the AMD software does not install via task sequence along
with the OS.
Here's the WMI query I'm using,
SELECT * FROM Win32_VideoController WHERE Name LIKE '%AMD%'
The application package itself works fine when I push it out to Software Centre after imaging.
The machine I currently have is a Dell 790, with an AMD Radeon HD 5450 card in it. I've tried changing the query to
SELECT * FROM Win32_VideoController WHERE Name LIKE '%AMD Radeon HD 5450%'
That didn't work either
I am fairly new to doing this in SCCM, so any advice is appreciated!

This is what the log file shows,

  • OSD: install software DURING task sequence based upon collection membership

    Hi,
    I'd like to refer to my
    previous post as a starting point.
    Below again the background of my question. But please advise on a powershell script that runs at the end of a task sequence that:
    *enumerates the pc's collection memberships and based upon that lists the software available
    *puts this software in a variable and does the installation DURING the task sequence
    J.
    Background:
    At this time, software in our deployment (of Windows 7) is installed AFTER the task sequence is finished.
    The software is deployed based upon the computer membership of collections (which get their info from AD groups).
    Problem is that users see their pc as finished but don't have all their software. It even takes sometimes more then an hour even when we refresh computer policy after final reboot of the system. That's why we really need a bulletproof solution = installation
    of software DURING task sequence.
    Jan Hoedt

    I found some time to adjust the script. Now I've created something similar for a device. Basically it finds the collections of which the device is a member, finds the targeted applications and creates task sequence variables for those applications.

  • Lenovo Power Manager Software - MDT Task Sequence

    I'm working in an environment which does Operating System Deployment via SCCM 2007 SP2 R2 with MDT 2010 Update 1 Integration.  I have an MDT Task Sequence that deploys my captured Windows 7 WIM file to predominantly Lenovo laptops (98% Lenovo fleet too).  Part of this Task Sequence uses rules to specifically target drivers and applications to individual models.  I'm am having GREAT difficulty in getting the Lenono Power Manager software (V3.31) to install as part of the Task Sequence.
    The summary of the story is as follows:
    Lenovo Bluetooth software is installing OK (msiexec /i Win32\BTW.msi /t 1033.mst /qb-)
    Lenovo Hotkey software is installing OK (SETUP.EXE /S)
    I've put logs for the Power Manager installation, and there are no errors i.e. it "seems" to install OK (SETUP.EXE /S)
    I can advertise the Power Manager software POST image and it installs and works OK
    Applications in the Task Sequence run in the order of Power Manager, Bluetooth, Hotkeys.
    That hopefully provides the information for someone to maybe shed some light.  It's a little frustrating given that the package actually will successfully install.  I'm almost to the point where I want to try and create a collection with rules to populate it with Lenovo laptops and then mandatory install it.  It's not a critical application - it would just be nice to have.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I did some more searching and found this method to do it - http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1231-os-deployment-and-lenovo-computers/.  I used the idea of creating a Task Sequence step to copy the files locally, followed by a step to install it from the local files. It worked fine for this.  If anyone has a "cleaner" method though, let me know.

  • How To: Deploying Windows & Office updates during task sequence

    How do you guys apply windows and office updates during the task sequence?
    Right now for Windows, I am offline servicing using my software deployment package.
    For Office, I had the software deployment package, but can't figure out how to add it to my task sequence. All the options don't allow me to choose the package.
    My end goal is to keep everything as up to date as possible, and if people image a computer and run Windows Update, they only have to download 10 or less updates, not 100+.

    Is Office part of your image or do you deploy Office as part of your task sequence?
    If office is part of your image, i'd recommend that you create a fully automated build and capture process using the MDT lite touch, and use a separate WSUS server to update the image with Windows , Office and other updates.
    It's pretty easy to setup.
    Creating a Windows 8.1 reference image:
    http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9845755
    If Office is not part of the image, you need to deploy the updates using Software Updates In SCCM as part of your Task Sequence.
    Ronni Pedersen | Microsoft MVP - ConfigMgr | Blogs:
    www.ronnipedersen.com/ and www.SCUG.dk/ | Twitter
    @ronnipedersen
    It's a task sequence. I'm confused how Software Updates works with SCCM because I do not want to use it to update All Systems. I only want to update it to computers that get imaged which are Unknown Computers. We have WSUS to take care of updates.
    If I deploy to Unknown Computers the updates in SCCM, once it joins the domain though to install all the other applications in the task sequence, will updates still go through now that it isn't a "Unknown ComputeR"?

  • 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'
    Cheers

  • Deployment Workbench Adding Applications Using Task Sequence

    I am trying to figure out how to add applications in Deployment Workbench. My biggest issue is what to put in the command line to get it to work. Someone else created folders with everything that would needed along with a batch file. Now I am trying to
    figure out how to get that to work in Deployment Workbench. I am also trying to figure out how to then get it to work in Task Sequence since it is not currently working the way I have tried. Thanks.

  • Regkey Import via task sequence using command line. Running directly from DP.

    I have a package that is going to run straight from the dp called JAVAHOME. Inside this package there is a regkey called JAVAHOME.REG
    If I want to run it as part of a task sequence using a command line.
    The run a command line step has use package called JAVAHOME checked.
    Now to import it, in run a command line I use
    cmd.exe /c reg.exe import javahome.reg
    or
    cmd.exe /c reg.exe import .\javahome.reg
    I always get it wrong when running things directly from the DP.

    To be sure about the behavior, I would use a batch file and use the %~dp0 variable. So, the command line in the batch file would be something like
    reg.exe import %~dp0javahome.reg

  • How to deploy Office PlugIns during OSD Task Sequence?

    I have two application packages that I need to install after Office 2013. I've tried adding them after Office 2013, but they won't install. I'm getting error 80004005. What's the best practice for installing plugins?

    Jeff,
    It looks like one of the Addins requires UAC be turned off. I've added that as a command line and setup a restart after that in the TS. Then I added the AddIn application to the TS. It's erroring out with 80004005 while I can see the screen in the background
    say "Setup is preparing your computer for the first time." For the reboot I've specified it to use the existing OS.
    What's the best way to get UAC turned off, reboot then install the AddIn? 
    It will not require UAC, if you run your command promt as admin, which will be opened at c:\Windows\System32
    Also, code 80004005 is very generic, and does not reveal nothing. You will see at Appenforce.log what´s really happening, also smsts.log. Event viewer is also helpful.

  • Deploy a image by Task Sequence - then can't see it in software centre after a rebuild.

    i've made a task sequence for installing an OS, that works fine, i've created a collection, added my machine in there gone to the software library --> task sequence --> created a deployment and targeted the collection. 
    Log onto the machine in that collection open up software centre, i rebuild the machine using that task sequence, but then when i log back into the machine the TS isn't there anymore.
    i've checked to see if the machine is still in the SCCM device collection (it is) i've checked to see if it's the right machine and not some duplicate (it isn't) i've made sure there is only one machine with that name in the all systems collection and they
    have the same SCCM ID.
    I want people to be able to rebuild their machines whenever they want to.

    Hi,
    are the Deployment Settings : Deployment settings action is install, purpose available.  Make available to configmgr clients, media, and PXE.
    also check advance properties of the task sequence, on which platforms you have enabled task sequence to run & also check advertisement interaction properties.
    The above two checks are from This

  • SCCM 2012 - Maintenance Windows Issue with Update Deployment using Task Sequence

    Hi Guys,
    I have a question for you!!
    We use a Task Sequence to deploy "Patch Tuesday" security fix; we use the integrated step "Install Software Update" and the Task Sequence run during Maintenance Windows (1 hour).
    We notice that the time remaining is not recalculated on every software update installation occur (http://blogs.technet.com/b/csloyan/archive/2010/10/24/maintenance-window-calculations-explained.aspx);
    it's correct?
    The formula indicated in the link above is not considered in this type of software update deployment (Install Software Update task sequence step)?
    Thanks a lot.
    David

    Hi,
    Any update?
    Is the time remaining recalculated after each update is installed when using the Software Update Group directly as Torsten said?

  • Manual formatted for C: and D: drive Via SCCM 2012 task sequence

    Dear All
    i have a problem with the formatting of the HDD by using SCCM 2012 , our Co. have laptops with C: &
    D: drive and we started to implement our W7 migration by using SCCM 2012 and we face the a problem which is how to keep the data of the D drive either during the deploy the new W 7 image our after we deployed the image with C and D drive .
    we create a task sequence to format the whole HDD and then make two partition .
    but our target to keep the old users data in D: drive in case of system crash .
    so can we do the format issue manually via  task sequence to can control the size of the HDD and just
    format the C: drive
    i read in internet there is a Disk partition script can be apply during the task sequence activity to control
    the formate issue.
    or to stop the formatte issue for D: drive via SCCM.

    Dear  EminM
    thanks
    for your replay 
    you are right i mean the laptop has C and D partition 
    we make a TS which was  configure to crate two partition 
    After we complete our Task sequence we face problem that TS format the two partition and that mean  we will loss the data in D partition in case we need to apply this TS in the future to any laptop has system crash .
    our target to have TS just format the C partition and leave the D partition without any action to be able to save the data in the D partition without any corrupted.
    for that do you have an idea to do that TS .

  • Reasons for not deploying applications using Task Sequence

    Hi guys!
    Could you provide me with some reasons why I shouldn't be using Task Sequences to deploy all of my applications? I like the idea that I can deploy multiple applications and packages at the same time, as well as being able to perform other tasks in the same
    Task Sequence if needed. I also really like the progress bar window which shows end user the company and name of application being installed.
    The SCCM Unleashed 2012 book mentions that while this is an available option it's not a good practice because "applications are meant to be state-based". Would someone be able to elaborate on that statement?
    Is using Task Sequences for deploying applications generally a bad practice that I should try to avoid?

    Hi,
    here is a description for state based:
    Depending on the deployment purpose you have specified in the deployment type of an application, System Center 2012 Configuration Manager periodically checks that the state of the application is the same as its purpose. For example, if an
    application’s deployment type is specified as Required, Configuration Manager reinstalls the application if it has been removed. Only one deployment type can be created per application and collection pair.
    If you deploy your applications by using task sequence you bypass this feature. You will install the application. but after this initial installation there will be no further check for the app to be still present on device.
    You can use task sequences, but should be aware of the features you bypass in this scenario.

  • Image not displaying in the Task Sequence Wizard. SCCM2012

    This is my question, so I will post the link here.
    http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/925727-image-not-displaying-in-the-task-sequence-wizard-sccm2012
    Bryan
    I captured an image from a PC that I am preparing to be deployed with Office 365. Once I captured
    the image, I went to the software library to add the operating system image. That seemed to go on without any issue, but when I look at the summary, I see the big yellow globe saying "in progress" it has not changed since yesterday afternoon.
    I then created the task sequence for this image
    to be deployed under Software Library, Task Sequences. When I selected the references tab, everything seemed to be in order with the exception of the "operating system image" under type. It was/is showing 0.0% Compliance.

    So, the problem described in the other forum post does not match the title of this thread. Are you trying to address two different things? These are unrelated btw.
    For the issue in the other thread, you'll have to troubleshoot your content distribution to the selected DP. The distmgr.log and pkgxfermgr.log (assuming you chose to distribute the image to a DP directly attached to your primary site) are the places to
    start and will show you exactly what's going on.
    As for the title of this thread, we'll need a lot more info to help you there.
    Finally, I would suggest you copy your questions from other sources into the thread -- this will help other folks in the future that may stumble upon this thread and will prevent any confusion.

  • Is there a way to log what user that executed a task sequence

    Our MDT task sequence prompts a user to enter their credentials to access the deployment share and see the task sequences to choose from.
    Is this already logged somewhere, or anyone have any clever ways of producing that information?

    Additional to said by Keith
    Garner, in BDD.log look for:
    Property OSDJoinAccount is now = <DOMAIN>\<USERNAME> - The user ID to be used to make network connections.
    Validate Domain Credentials [<DOMAIN>\<USERNAME>] - The name of the account used to join the domain.
    Property DomainAdmin is now = <USERNAME>
    Add this in CustomSettings.ini:
    ;Logging
    SLShare=\\<SERVER>\DeploymentShare$\Logs
    SLShareDynamicLogging =\\<SERVER>\DeploymentShare$\Logs\%ComputerName%
    in appropriate %ComputerName% folder on <SERVER> during OSD will be generated dinamically updated BDD.log
