False deployment results in SCCM

I have used the Customisation wizard to package a silent install of Adobe Reader X. We are upgrading from version 9. System Centre Configuration Manager reports a successful installation however on some computers this is not the case. On these computers there is an information type entry in the application log of Event Viewer. The source is MsiInstaller, Event ID: 11708 and a description of "Product: Adobe Reader X -- Installation operation failed.". Does anyone have any idea why this is being reported back to SCCM as successful? This also happens on some computers when deploying Acrobat X as well.
Thanks in Advance

Oops, never mind.. The answer is in here: Error RPE-01011 Raised when Deploying [ID 260860.1]

Deploy Smartview via SCCM 2012

I have tried everything - even calling for support which got me nothing!
How do you deploy Smartview via SCCM? What command line works? All their docs S-U-C-K and do not work!

Hi,
Am not very sure of this as i work on Hyperion but not on SCCM. but you can give a try to check with your SCCM team with below command. We have mst developed which updates the registry keys so my command looks like below.
msiexec /i "D:\OracleHyperionSmartViewforOfficeFusionEdition.msi" transforms="D:\OraHyperionSmartVw_111210_00.mst" /qb!
if you dont have mst then you can use something like msiexec /i "D:\OracleHyperionSmartViewforOfficeFusionEdition.msi" /qb!
Hope this helps.
Thanks

What share and NTFS permissions must I give users to deploy software through SCCM?

What share and NTFS permissions must I give users to deploy software through SCCM? I have one folder with all of the applications and would like to know.
Thanks
James A+, Network+, MCP

That still doesn't help. We're not prying, we're trying to help but we honestly have no idea what you are talking about. The more and better details that you can provide, the better we can help.
"Because I want to know" adds no value and does not help us help you. We need technical details -- we can't see what you are seeing and we can't read your mind.
And, you didn't really answer any of my questions.
I'll take another wild-guess though: If you are talking about the source file locations referenced within packages and applications, users do not access those. The computer account for the systems hosting the SMS Provider needs read access to the location(s)
specified. Yes, this means both NTFS and share permissions assuming they are being referenced via a UNC.
Finally, there is no service account. If you've changed the account that the SMS_EXECUTIVE is running under, you're are now in a completely unsupported state that will have many issues. If instead you are talking about the Network Access Account, that is
*not* a service account and is *not* used to access content source files.
Once again though, we're simply guessing because no one has any idea what you're doing. Please provide actual, technical details.

Adobe Creative Cloud Enterprise Deployment Issues using SCCM 2012 R2

Hi,
I have been trying to deploy Adobe Creative Cloud Enterprise to Windows 8.1 machines that are identical, using SCCM 2012 R2.
The Adobe package seems fine, because it seems to deploy successfully to some machines. And SCCM 2012 R2 has been configured correctly, as I can deploy other software using it, and again, it deploys Adobe CC successfully to some of the machines.
I have tried comparing the package that is downloaded on the test machine/client machine, with the original package on the distribution point, using Beyond Compare, and there are no differences.
I have contacted Adobe Enterprise Support, and they asked me to send to them log files from Event Viewer, the msi installer, and other Adobe logs, from the machine that failed the deployment. However, after Adobe studying them, they told me that they could not identify any problems... Strange, because I could have sworn that I saw error 1603 pop up over 20 times on different machines indicating that the 'Set-up.dat' file had a problem with it.
After all the testing on over 20 identical machines (same hardware/same software), using different configurations on SCCM 2012 R2 and the client machines, I still can't seem to have a reliable solution to deploying Adobe CC.
The fact that it deploys successfully on one machine and fails on another, or sometimes deploy to two machines and fail on another (simultaneously), is something that I don't understand.
Another thing is that, if I retry the deployment 10-15 times after it failed the first time, it might go through...
Adobe Enterprise Support asked me if they could remote into a machine that failed the deployment to have a look at it and I agreed to that option, but it seems like my issue has been ignored because they never got back to me.
Has anyone had this kind of problem or anything similar before?
I need to be able to deploy this remotely to 100+ machines. So installing manually is not an option.
Any help is appreciated.
This was posted in the wrong section a few days ago. I'm hoping I can get some help here.
Case Number: 1862659812
UPDATE: I spoke to Adobe Customer Support and after 1.5 hours on the phone with a remote session going on, problem was still not solved or identified. Additional log files have been sent and now I'm waiting for a call back.

Hi Robert,
We seem to be having a very similar issue. Our installs would randomly fail with error code 1603 and an error message about a fault in Set-up.dat. Failure rate was near 95% on our 900 machines. Adobe Support and Karl having been looking into our issues but so far no solution has been found.
Having done a lot of investigating we've managed to deploy our package using a schedule task running as a domain admin. This is a nasty solution and we don't intend on using this permanently, but we needed to get the package out.
Are you seeing any of the following:

We noticed that the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\caps doesn't get created on the machines were the install fails, so error message is correct in that there isn't a Media_db.db. Sysinterals Process Monitor seems to show that the setup tried to create the folder/files but they don't actually get created. Copying a Media_db into the folder from another machine seems to allow the installation to almost finish, but unsurprisingly you end up with problems later on.

Deploying Applications with SCCM 2012 R2 to Server 2008 R2 RDS servers

I'm having some trouble finding some concrete information from Microsoft regarding the deployment of applications to RDS servers using SCCM 2012 R2. There seems to be a lot of conjecture, old information and old wives tales floating around and I was hoping
I could get some information confirmed!
1. MSI installs automatically switch to install mode on RDS servers?
I've seen this mentioned a few times. I've also seen it mentioned that it is only true when running the MSI from the console session manually (i.e clicking the MSI file) not running as SYSTEM as SCCM would usually do. Can someone confirm if they do this
themselves or not?
2. Users still logged in when deploying applications?
Is it possible to deploy an application while users are still logged in? Is this only related to going into 'install' mode and taking the chance that a user will do something that will cause issues? Or is it known to cause issues?
I guess those are the main ones, I'm experienced in SCCM but not with deploying to RDS servers, I cant seem to find any straight answers!
Anyway, thanks in advance!

I've never had large enough RDS environment to use SCCM for app push, but from my experience in managing 2012/R2 RDS and local installs, I never bother with switching to install mode anymore and it works fine. Now if you're skeptical, you can
easily build this into a script that runs as a pre-req to your .MSI as part of the software package in SCCM so it's not a big deal.
As for installing apps while users are logged in, shouldn't be a problem if you're installing a new app., if however you're updating an existing application or uninstalling it, then it may be best to drain that RDS host first of all user sessions then do
the work just to be safe. this also helps avoid reboots.

I need to upgrade the silverlight version that is deployed with the SCCM 2012 client installation

We have SCCM 2012 SP1 installed and I need to upgrade the version of silverlight that get installed on the client deployement.
The version that is automaticly deployed is 5.1.10411.0 and this one is not compatible with Firefox. When you click on Application Catalog it start the browser but it fails to load because of the silverlight plug-in that is not up to date. The
version that is working fine is the 5.1.20913.0 and it's already installed on my SCCM site server.
So that is why I'm looking to upgrade the silverlight that is installed with the SCCM client.
I know that a simple workarround would be to create a package that would be deployed after the client gets installed, but why not changing the original package at the source instead of installing twice the same software the get the right version!
Is there someone that could point me where I could upgrade this Silverlight prerequirement software version ?

Note that I have not tested either of these and they will not be supported by Microsoft.
1. Copy your new version of Silverlight.exe to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Client\i386
(you'll have to re-distribute the client package after this).
OR
2. You could edit the ccmsetup.xml file with an alternative location for silverlight.exe

Query on Patch Deployment Process in SCCM 2012 R2

Hi All,
I have a Below SCCM environment in place, I have a very basic question on how Patches are downloaded by Client machines,
Environment Details:
one SCCM Server in Hongkong DC one DP server in Singapore Datacentre There are 14 Clients in Singapore DC as below,
02 Hyper-V Server Each Hyper-V server has 06 VM's In one of the 06 VM in Hyper-V 02 we installed the DP role. Patch Size : 500MB (We have created as a single software update Group)
Collection: We have created 02 Collections, each one for One Hyper-V and all it’s 06 VM’s
Question: When we are Deploying patches to each collection, how clients will download
the patches from DP ?
01.
Will all the clients start downloading the patches immediately or one by one?
02.
Out of these 500 MB of patches, hope only 100MB of patches will be applicable host client, In this case, the client will download only the required patches or all (I have choosen required
during deployment)
03.
If the answer for 01 Question is all will download at the same time means, by any chance can we control the behaviour (One by one without changing the collection)
Sundar

They download them using BITS from the nearest DP based upon the boundaries within content location boundary groups that you have set up.
1. For updates within a required deployment that are applicable to a particular system, they will begin downloading them at the "available" time.
2. Correct. The clients perform a compliance scan before they download any updates and only download those updates that are assigned to them using a required deployment that the compliance scan reveals that they need.
3. No. There is no control of order; however, clients will use BITS. You can however enable the deadline randomization feature using a client settings package. This will cause each client to randomly delay for up to 2 hours thus spreading out any workloads.
Alternatively, if you need to micro-manage the order that updates are installed, you can setup of a separate series of collections that have maintenance windows set on them and populate the collection appropriately. These maintenance windows will apply to
the systems within these collection for all activity on those systems regardless of the collection that was used to assign the deployment.

Deploy Images with SCCM Client Installed

Hi everyone.
there's one thing I have in mind for a while and haven't got a solution for it
We use SCCM 2012 to build and create our master image with a Task Sequence
one task before the syspreping is "prepare configuration manager client", which from my understanding and from technet - resets all the client's unique configuration.
conclusion - the SCCM Client is installed and "Syspreped" on our base image
in that case, assuming we still use the same SCCM client version, is there a way to save time during the Deploy task sequence?
the "Setup windows and ConfigMgr" step is required and it installs the SCCM Client all over again, even though it is already included in our master image.
thanks
Tamir Levy

First, as noted by Daniel, the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr task does much more than simply installing the ConfigMgr agent. This is clearly indicated by the name of the task (before the "and") "Setup Windows".
The are no true advantages to having the client agent in the image. If you are building your image with ConfigMgr though, it is unavoidable. Yes having it in the image should save time by not having to reinstall the pre-reqs -- most are pretty trivial though
but you may gain a bit although I can't say I've ever timed it.
There is no time savings to be had here, the client agent must be either installed or re-installed during the deployment TS, this is unavoidable. You'll need to look elsewhere if this is a required goal.

OSD: TS deployed to Vista SCCM 2012 client, reboots then doesn't find network drivers

Hi,
We deploy SCCM 2012 client to a SCCM 2007 Vista pc.
We then deploy a task sequence to install Windows 7.
Everything works fine on a vm, it reboots in winpe then starts the task sequence. On a laptop however, it does not work. F8 shows it does not get an ip address, it seems as if no network adaptor is recognized.
However, the same task sequence works fine on the same laptop when pxe booting + I added the driver to winpe. Didn’t help. Please advise.

Jan Hoedt

I think I know what the root cause is, but not how to solve it.
In diskpart, I can see 3 volumes:
*Volume 0 = D-drive, DVD-rom,
*Volume 1 = no drive letter, partition of 400 GB
*Volume 2 = C-drive, label "Configuratio", type "removable" 4 GB
It should install to the 400 GB drive but it seems that its installing to the removable drive.
Not sure what that is since there is no USB attached. Probably it is the winpe temporarely mounted(?)
The behaviour I have is described
here and is also referring to USB.
=> I guess I have to tell the temporarely mounted drive to be f.e. Z when installing in full OS.
Any idea howto do this?

How to deploy OS via SCCM to Hybrid RAID drives (500GB+32GBFlash) on EliteBook 820 G1

Can someone please help me to deploy the OS to a EliteBook 820 G1. I have imported the "HP Client Computer Windows PE 3.0 x86 and x64 Driver Pack" into my boot image but it is still failing just after partitioning\formatting.
If I boot to the Windows CD (from USB as there is no CD ROM) that comes with the laptop then I can see that my Drive has been formatted (has name from my TS) but I have an error that states: "Windows can not be installed to Disk 0 Partition 1 (Show Details) - Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."
I then grabbed the WINPE driver pack from HP and tried to load the RAID driver manually but it even though it shows the driver is compatible I still get the same error.
I have also imported these drivers into my Boot Image in SCCM and tried to add it to the TS as well..
Any help would be great as I really need to get these deployed urgently.. Thanks!

Email notification status after deployment finished in sccm 2012 r2

We run 300+ server security patch update deployements every weekend with limited human resources to check when a deployment job is finished. Our limited weekend staff needs to run post deployment checks failed deployments . Is there an option in SCCM
2012 R2 to send a email notification once a job is finished?

I haven't taking a Powershell scripting class yet, so this will be kind of difficult to make work for what it is i am looking for. So i have to modify an Application Request script just to get a job done email notification SCCM 2012?
Yes. There is no builtin functionality to send email when deployments have run.

What is the security context when deploying application using SCCM 2012?

As far as i know when using Group Policy the software is always installed under SYSTEM security context. However i cannot find any information related to SCCM 2012 (and deploying applications) security context.
Also is there a difference in doing "Install for User" or "Install for Device/System"?
Thanks

Thanks. Just to confirm that if you use Group Policy and you Publish the msi for user when the user install it from Add/Remove Programs it is still going to be executed in SYSTEM security context?
And while we are on this topic - is the above (about the security context in SCCM 2012) written anywhere in some official MS web page?
Not sure about the context for Intellimirror, but for ConfigMgr it's as Ronnie and Torsten stated. This may be documented somewhere, not sure. Not everything is documented though -- in fact, I'd say less than 25% (probably less than 10%) of everything
to be known about ConfigMgr is officially documented. Note that this is the same for any product -- there simply are far too many permutations and possibilities to document them all.

Deploy Lenovo with SCCM and enable Bitlocker during deploying?

Hi!
Do anyone got information how to activate TPM and enable bitlocker during deploy of new Lenovo with SCCM ?
Something like this but for Leonovo

Thanks, Magnus

has anyone been successful with the WMI script on the M92p models, I recently attempted to activate the TPM using the same script that we use for our M91p and it fails. When I check the logs, it states that access is denied, when I run it manually I get the same error (access denied). Our lenovo rep says that you cannot use the WMI to enable the TPM and that the Enable Bitlocker step should enable the TPM. However we automate our OS deployments so manually enabling bitlocker is not an option, any assistance or feedback is appreciated.
I was having the same issue and I discovered another way to accomplish this task. Download this utility:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/thinkcentre_bios/9sjw67usa.exe
Run the EXE to extract the files to the location of your choice, then copy them to your script location. From your script, run the following command:
srwin.exe /tpm active
Then do a couple reboots (this may not be necessary, but I didn't have time to test it.)
There are a couple of caveats. First, the working directory must be the directory the utility is stored in (presumably so it can find the two .sys files). I.e. you can't do
c:\utilities\srwin.exe /tpm active
you have to do
cd /D c:\utilities
srwin.exe /tpm active
Also, I was attempting to run this in a WinPE session (doing OS deployment using SCCM 2012) and I was getting an 0x80070134 error in my logs. I had been using an x64 boot image, and switching to an x86 boot image resolved that issue.
Hope this helps someone.

Deploy patches with SCCM 2012

Hi,
I have deployed non-security patches using SCCM 2012 for all Office products. However found some of the machines which is installed only Office 2007 still received Office 2010 updates. Is that expected behaviour. Can someone please confirm.
Regards,
Madhan

You might have office 2010 components installed (or viewers).
Where do you see the updates on the clients?
