Installing Custom Packages via Task Server

Hi everyone. I am looking to install custom software updates that I have placed in a PKG format via a task server. I need to be able to have a user logged out and their screen locked. Is there some way to do this? Or does anybody know of a way to add custom packages to a customn Software Update server?
Thanks in advance.

LOL. Yea well we are trying to come up with a better solution for pushing updates to all these users. But there is no way to have the screen lock when the users computer turns on in the morning. Shoot me an email with your current email when you get a chance.

Error trying to run SSIS Package via SQL Server Agent: DTExec: Could not set \Package.Variables[User::VarObjectDataSet].Properties[Value] value to System.Object

Situation:
SSIS Package designed in SQL Server 2012 - SQL Server Data Tools
Windows 7 - 64 bit.
The package (32 bit) extracts data from a SQL Server db to an Excel Output file, via an OLE DB connection.
It uses 3 package variables:
*) SQLCommand (String) to specify the SQL Statement to be executed by the package
Property path: \Package.Variables[User::ExcelOutputFile].Properties[Value]
Value: f:\Output Data.xls
*) EXCELOutputFIle (String) to specify path and filename of the Excel output file
Property path: \Package.Variables[User::SQLCommand].Properties[Value]
Value: select * from CartOrder
*) VarObjectDataSet (Object) to hold the data returned by SQL Server)
Property path: \Package.Variables[User::VarObjectDataSet].Properties[Value]
Value: System.Object
It consists out of 2 components:
*) Execute SQL Task: executes the SQL Statement passed on via a package variable. The resultng rows are stored in the package variable VarObjectDataSet
*) Script Task: creates the physical output file and iterates VarObjectDataSet to populate the Excel file.
Outcome and issue:The package runs perfectly fine both in SQL Server Data Tools itself and in DTEXECUI.
However, whenever I run it via SQL Server Agent (with 32 bit runtime option set), it returns the errror message below.
This package contains 3 package variables but the error stating that a package variable can not be set, pops up for the VarObjectDataSet only. This makes me wonder if it is uberhaupt possible to set the value of a package variable
of type Object.
Can anybody help me on this please ?

Hi Visakh,
thank you for your reply.
So, judging by your reply, not all package variables used inside a package need to be set a value for when run in DTEXEC ?
I already tried that but my package ended up in error (something to do with "... invocation ...." and that error is anything but clearly documented. Judging by the error message itself, it looks like it could be just about anything. that is why I asked my
first question about the object type package variable.
Now, I will remove it from the 'set values' list and try another go cracking the unclear error-message " ... invocation ...". Does an error message about " ... invocation ..." ring any bells, now that we are talking about it here ?
Thx in advance
Jurgen
Yes exactly
You need to set values only forthem which needs to be controlled from outside the package
Any variable which gets its value through expression set inside package or through a query inside execute sql task/script task can be ignored from DTExec
Ok I've seen the invocation error mostly inside script task. This may be because some error inside script written in script task. If it appeared after you removed the variable then it may because some reference of variable existing within script task.

Install CS6 Applications via SCCM Task Sequence

Hi
We have an SCCM 2012 R2 infrastructure on our network, and want to deploy Adobe CS6 applications using Windows Installer Packages created with Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition 3.1
We created individual packages for each application (for flexibility) following the instructions provided at this address: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/creativesuite/pdfs/AdobeApplication ManagerEnterpriseEditionDeploy…
When we go to install the packages via an SCCM Task Sequence, the following occurs:
1     The application is installed
2     The application is not installed
We have followed the instructions provided by Adobe for the deployment, and cannot get any consistency with the installers. For example, when we run the task sequence, the following applications will be installed:
1     Dreamweaver
2     Fireworks
3     Flash Professional
4     Illustrator
5     InDesign
6     Photoshop
When we run the same task sequence again, the following applications are installed:
1     Dreamweaver
2     Fireworks
3     Illustrator
4     Photoshop
The task sequence first images the computer with Windows 7, and reboots the computer between each application being installed
I have also attempted packaging all the applications together, in a Design and Web Premium style package, with the same, unfortunate results
Please, can you help with this?

The error means RPC server unavailable. TS needs to invoke Execution Manager by RPC. This may be caused by the issue of RPC starting. I suggest you check the RPC service availability first. Another try is to add a restart computer step before installing
SQL. If still no avail, add a Delay "cmd.exe /c timeout /t 900".
Regarding the connecting network share issue, seems the network services has not been initializing or ready. Another possibility is the DHCP time out. Check the Event log and this may give you some clues of why the network is not ready or DHCP cannot get
IP address. Network Monitor can also be used to monitor the IP helper when the Client try to send DHCP request after reboot.

Please help with this issue "To Run a SSIS Package outside of Server Data Tools You must install Drived Column of Integration sercvies of higher" From C# app

i have searched all over the google and here on MSDN(I have read all the threads related to my problem ) , i am new to SISS and doing my clg project ,
I have this package which loads data from dim tables to a fact table , my Package runs without any problem in BIDS (2012)
I have installed SQl Server integration services on SQL and service is also running in services.msc,
the problem comes when i execute my package using my C# application i am using MSDN Method to execute a SSIS package programmatically given here.
"http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms136090.aspx"
For loading my FactTable i have used a Derived columns and some lookups ,
Now if i don't use derived columns and looks ups and just use source and destination component then my package runs fine from my C# application but if i use derived columns or looks ups etc it gives the following error
"Error in Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.TaskHost/SSIS.Pipeline: To Run a SSIS package outside of SQL Server Data Tools you must Install Derived Column of Integration services of higher"
I am searching and trying to resolve this issue from previous 2 days but without any luck please help or guide me what is solution to this problem ,,i will be very thankful
I have also found that integration services that are running on my system have version 10.0
but the BIDS have version Version 11.0.3402.0
IS this causing problem ? if yes then what i have to do ?

Hi BlaxButt,
The package is developed in SSDT installed by SQL Server 2012, so it is a SSIS 2012 package. However, the Integration Services you have installed is SQL Server 2008 R2 version. To run the package outside SSDT, you need SSIS 2012 installed. The reason why
the package runs fine with only Source and Destination components is that such a simple package can be executed by the DTExec utility installed by SQL Server 2012 Data base Engine or Client Tools (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard). To run a package that
uses other tasks/components outside SSDT/BIDS, the SSIS runtime is also required except the DTExec utility. To obtain the SSIS 2012 runtime, we have to install SSIS 2012 on the server where the package runs.

If you factory reset, it wont make the update go away, but you should back up and reset before you install the update.

Can't update/search/install packages via pacman or yaourt

Everything was fine until I manually installed package-query and yaourt and now I am unable to update/search/install packages via pacman or yaourt.
Earlier I was having trouble installing the package-query and yaourt packges using pacman so had to install them manually and now it wont connect to the repos.
My eth0 is up, the proxies are set, all browsers work so no problem from the network side.

Once you're done, disable the repository though because everything except for yaourt is out-of-date by at least a month.
Don't ever suggest that. The repo is 100% useless since it is trivial to install yaourt from aur. Also yaourt/package-query in that repo is often broken/outdated.
Also it is not relevant to op's problem anyway. There were some routing issue to leseweb the other day, I also noticed it. Just switching mirror works fine.

Enable Custom Authentication for License Server for Packager Server

How to enable processing of Custom Authentication for License Server for Packager Server?
Please give examples.

If I understand your question, you want to use the Flash Access Manager and/or the Watched Folder Packager (both are components of the Reference Implementation) to package content for a license server that uses Custom Authentication. To accomplish this, you need to use the Flash Access SDK to create a policy that specifies Custom Authentication is used. For example:
Policy pol = new Policy(false);
LicenseServerInfo licServer = new LicenseServerInfo(AuthenticationType.Custom);
pol.setLicenseServerInfo(licServer);
// set rights and other policy attributes
Once you create the policy, place the policy file on the Packager Server, and you can use this policy to package content.

Installing packages via burned CD

Hello everyone.
I have an x86 machine that I've just installed Arch onto. For reasons I won't get into, it's not going to be networked at all (no internet or intranet, therefore no pacman mirrors). I'm wanting to install packages via the CD drive: Ruby, Python, X, BSD games, Tex, etc. The idea is I will download these packages and burn them to CD, then access them via the Arch machine.
I guess my question is, what is generally the best way to go about this? I think I'd have to get pacman to point to my CD drive to search for new repositories, but I am unaware how this would be accomplished. Google searches do not yield helpful results. I suppose I could just compile them from source, but is there an easier way?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dan

Linux guy wants to install solaris 10 via nfs using centos as nfs server

well in linux when installing this way I simply copy the dvd install image to an nfs share (or do mount -o loop "isoimage" /nfsmountdir), copy the boot.iso so a cdrom and do a "linux askmethod" during install and then specify the nfs server and dir.
I want to learn sun and want to start by really understanding the install and how to set up slices etc. I would really like to do this using nfs using my centos box as the server as this method at least when installing linux is much mush faster.
so can I do this and if so what are the commands. I did see some documentation but it was for installing from a sun nfs server. but I need to install from the centos as the server. I already have the iso's for the 5 cdroms as well as the dvd image. if possible I would obviously like to use the dvd image.
thanks and remember I am a sun newbie (just bought my first solaris book this week so the more dummied down answer would be the best one for me). if it can be done could you give me the exact process.
thanks a million (and one).

The Sun network installer scripts only work on Solaris. So there's no instructions from Sun for configuring the daemons on Linux necessary to do the configuration.
There are some guides on the net, but I don't know of one that tells the whole story.
You might consider installing Solaris in a VM on the linux box, then configuring jumpstart on that. You could then see how the daemons on it are configured and replicate that configuration on the Linux machine.

Changing Task Server from local machine to remote machine

Hello all, and thanks for reading this.
My question is this, and I apologize if I've missed something in the forums and online, but I can't seem to find the answer to this question anywhere.
I have ARD on my laptop as the task server, but we've bought another copy to place on an XSERVE as a centralized task server. What I want to do is change the package installation routines so that the XServe is the autoinstall box. I can't seem to find any documentation that explains how to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Remote Desktop/Preferences/Task Server
Add the FQDN or I.P address of your server in this pane on your book(basically your pointing your book to your installed software on the other machine). Setup your server with the installs you want it to make, and administer it via your book (or any machines with another unlimited ARD) IF you want report generation, you would schedule the clients to send the info to the server. A task server can only do 2 things, install packages or change client settings, thats it.

Installing 5.1 via SCCM OSD

We're looking to deploy Illustrator CS5.1 via Microsoft SCCM 2007 and we're running into an odd issue. Typically we use VBScript wrappers around all our installers so that we can do advanced tasks and checks. Previously we packaged all the CS 5 apps just fine and had no major hiccups. Well, we're now working on 5.1 and running into hiccups. Right now, if we install it manually using the custom package we created with the Adobe Application Manager toolkit, everything is just peachy. However, if we try to install it during the Operating System Deployment (OSD) portion of SCCM, it hangs (we have to manualyl power off the machine and then power it back on to get things to pick back up). After digging through the Adobe log files, the culprit seems to be:
WARNING: DW065: Display requirements not met for {23767F5D-A80C-4264-B8EA-ED4085FC332A}
WARNING: DW065: Display requirements not met for {DDBDE7B0-6FC4-40B1-B673-66EEE8CB60CF}
While we've got our "Unattend.xml" file for Windows 7 setting the resolution to 1024x768 (which is listed as being OK in the Tech Specs for Illustrator), this doesn't seem to do anything to fix the above error. And what happens is that our OS dpeloyment process just hangs and doesn't proceed. But once we power cycle the machine everything is just fine and Illustrator is installed and working.
So has anyone run across this and know how to fix it so we can use Illustrator 5.1?
Thanks!

Further digging into the log files turned up this error:
Error: MV operation returned: An unexpected Win32 error of 5. File: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5.1\Support Files\Required\Plug-ins\FWServer.aip".
And I had a script output all the running processes after the installation finished, but I didn't see anything out of whack. Can anyone help shed some light on this, or point me in a direction?

Error Install Update Rollup 3 Exchange Server 2010 SP2

Hy Guys,
I have the follow troubble when i try install the Update Rollup 3 Exchange 2010 SP2 on CAS Server. The error is "The user who's currently logged on doesn't have sufficient permissions to install this package. You need at least Exchange Server Administrator
permissions on the current computer to complete the task."
I've checked the permissions of the user which run the installer and those permissiones are OK. The user belong to Domain Admin, Enterprise Admin, Exchange Organization Management groups.
I don't know what else to do. Thanks for your great help.

Hi Wilmar
Do you have PowerShell execution policy via Group Policy that could be blocking the install? If you right click the file and select "Run as Administrator"?
Can you try running the setup from an elevated command prompt?
Or you can enable logging by executing the patch like this below:
Rollup3.msp /lxv* c:\Rollup3.log
You can also look here:

Make a custom package-cd

I run now arch-linux since the release of 0.5 and I am very happy with it!
Now I'd like to install Arch on another computer. All my packages here are up to date and instead of installing Arch on the other computer and make pacman -Syu (and to wait several hours) I'd like to burn a cd wich contains all my updated packages from /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ and use that as an custom package repository.
I tried to build a compressed package database out of this directory but I didn't work...
Are there any suggestions how I could achieve that? The computer would also be in the same network if I could even install it over the network!

take a look at how the base iso is set up (if you have one). make an arch/ directory with a pkg/ (or is it pkgs) directory within that then place all your packages in it, then gensync (see the pacman manpage on how to use gensync) and with that you can create your "current.db.tar.gz" . then create a setup/ directory like there is on the iso. in this directory there is a packages.txt (apparently there is some way of generating this) and the pacman source if i am not mistaken. once you have your arch/ directory set up like the iso create and iso of it. yiou do not need to make a isolinux directory. then make floppies of the floppy images available on the ftp server and then use those to start your install procedure then when you get to the part where it asks if you are installing via cdrom or ftp put your disc in and select cdrom install. from there it will be just like installing via cd.
make sure that your current.db.tar.gz package and packages.txt all match or you will have to start all over generating a new iso, etc. i suggest that you use a cdrw just incase you have to go back and correct any content in packages.txt, current.db.tar.gz or your actual package directory.

Cannot install Office 2013 during task seqeunce after installing R2

Hi,
Since we installed SCCM 2012 R2, I have not been able to install Office in my baseline captures using a task sequence (64-bit OS). Ronni Pederson suggested using an Application rather than a Package but in his example, the application is being pushed rather
than deployed during OSD. Either way, his solution doesn't work for me. Office 2013 does install on my Windows 7 SP1 32-bit capture without any errors (same package).
I saw another suggestion that recommended using a wrapper script in a package. When I tried this, I used Task Manager to verify that application was installing and I could see msiexec running. After about 10 minutes, SCCM seems to be waiting for feedback
from the application which never happens. The task sequence fails and I can see log messages stating that it's Waiting for job status. It repeats this message for about 20 minutes and then fails. The wrapper script seems to have the best results but still
doesn't install Office without errors. When I logged in as administrator, I could see that Office looks to be installed. I tried launching a few of the apps and they are working so I don't really understand why this installation doesn't work properly.
Prior to installing R2 on SCCM 2012, this was not a problem. I installed Office 2013 via my capture task sequences many times without any problems. The only thing I can find through research is to use an Application object or use a Package object with a
wrapper script. I couldn't find any other suggestions.
Does anybody have any other ideas?
Thanks,
Rob

Before I can name any ideas, I need to know what's going wrong. Did you follow all the log files? I would start by looking at the installation log files of Office (%windir%\Temp) and see if it's indeed ending successful. If it does then continue to the
ConfigMgr log files (App*.log for application, or exempt.log for package).

SCCM App-V 5 packages to terminal server/Windows 7/Windows 10 design

Hi,
I would appreciate your input on a design question on App-V 5 on SCCM 2012 R2.
Where we are:
We have Terminal Servers running with App-V 4.6 Clients for some years. The users on these Terminal Servers could only receive the App-v 4.6 packages (since the terminal server only had the App-V client)
Some time ago we started the rollout of App-V 5.0 packages to Terminal servers via SCCM 2012 R2.
In parallel we rolled out some App-V 5.0 clients to Windows 7 machines.
What’s happening:
Users get App-V package meant for TS (licensed applications which should not end on clients) and they should not
What we want:
deploy App-V packages (via SCCM) to W7 computers only, later we will deploy to users but for now our administration system doesn’t cover that
select which App-V packages to deploy to Windows 10 (when it’s there)
select which App-V packages to deploy to terminal servers (WKX)
uninstall of users/computers not in collections anymore
ð
TTo achieve this we would create different deployment types of an App-v package with each a prereq “W7, Windows 10, Windows terminal services”. Then also we would create an uninstall mechanism (like this http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrdogs/archive/2014/11/03/managing-app-v-deployments-in-configmgr-2012.aspx)
Guess that would work, but wonder if you would see any flaws/issues
in/with this setup?
Thanks for your input.
J.
Jan Hoedt
Update: then also I wonder the supersedence within the application (with different deployment types), f.e. 7-Zip on terminal servers should be replaced but not for Windows 7. Would that work?

Uninstall is a bit of a concern too indeed.
What I would do is
f.e. 7-Zip Application-INSTALL, Deployment Types:
*W7-Install prereq W7
*WKX-Install prereq WK8R2, WK12R2
=> Deploy to Group "App-V-7-Zip", which has computers as well as user groups
7-Zip Application-UNINSTALL, Deployment Types:
*W7-Uninstall prereq W7
*WKX-Uninstall prereq WK8R2, WK12R2
=> Deploy to Group "App-V-UNINSTALL" which has all App-V groups (such as "App-V-7-Zip")
That's making sence, doesn't it?
Note: "It's probably a smart idea to not trigger an uninstall on a terminal server in every occasion." Why is that? Applications should be removed when f.e. groups are not part of the App-V-7-Zip.
