Run Package with prerequisite package from Task Sequence

If a package runs another package first as a prerequisite will that work from a task sequence.

There is no explanation. This by design and is stated in the official TechNet docs:

Remove sccm 2012 client package from task sequence

Hello, is possible to remove the sccm client package from task sequence ? i am deploying OS to workgroup computers and i dont want install the sccm client . I am using MDT to create the task sequence.
Erickson Martinez

No, if you are using a task sequence in ConfigMgr (MDT integrated or not) then a client package is mandatory. The only way to get rid of the client is to deinstall it at the end of the task sequence (for example by using the SMSTSPostAction variable).
Another option, if you don't want the client, is to use MDT to deploy those machines. But that would cause an extra deployment mechanism to maintain.

Mdt 2012 sp1 command line does not run from task sequence

Hi,
I am hoping I can explain this correctly. I am using MDT 2012 and having an issue with running command lines, powershell and batch files that I setup.
The task sequence is set to use an account called "MDTService". it has rights to join the domain but is not in the local admin group of the reference image. a domain GPO renames the local admin account CoAdmin.
when running a command line to, for example, run xcopy a folder and subdirectories to the "program Files x86" directory, it does not copy.
When I log on to the system and use an admin account to manually run the command I do not have an issue. if I log onto the system with the MDTService user and run it, it fails.
How do I get the commands to run from the MDT task sequence? I do not want to make the MDTService user an admin. I have tried the run as option in the task sequence but that did not work. maybe is set it wrong. I used a domain\Admin
account which did not work.
what can I clarify or logs can I post to provide more details.
Thanks in advance.

Any account that needs to add files under %ProgramFilesx86% must be granted administrative privileges.

Run a powershell script with domain credentials during task sequence

I have a powershell script that adds the computer it is run on to a security group. If I log onto the computer with a domain account it works perfectly. However, if it is run while logged on as the local admin account it fails with an error message
that says the domain either doesn't exist or cannot be reached.
This is a problem because when a computer is being imaged the process runs with the local admin account. Is there a way to run this script with domain credentials in the task sequence?
Thanks,
Andy

How are you running the Powershell script? If you use a Run Command Line step, you can specify an account to run as. Something like "powershell %scriptroot%\psscript.ps1" where the psscript.ps1 is located in your Scripts folder in your deployment
share.

OSD Task Sequence fails with "There are no task sequences available for this computer"

Let me preface this by saying that I have read at least 100 forum posts with people having similar issues. However, none of the solutions in those
posts have worked for me.
The Problem: SCCM 2012 R2 will not image unknown computers.
The task sequence gives the error "There are no task sequences available for this computer." As soon as that error occurs, SCCM places an Unknown entry into the All Systems collection. I have been imaging unknown computers, without fail, for
4 months and no environmental changes have been made. NOTE: I am using USB media, not PXE.
What I've Tried:
Checked for duplicate SMSBIOS GUIDS in the console, none.
Checked for duplicate MAC Addresses in the console, none.
Checked for expired certificates, none.
Recreated Boot Media, twice.
Deleted the Unknown entry and retried, SCCM just recreates the Unknown entry.
Deleted all of my task sequence deployments, and then redeployed them each to All Systems (Only Boot Media and PXE) and to Unknown Systems (Only Boot Media and PXE)
I have also ran the following in the SQL Server Management Studio;
SELECT
* FROM
ResPolicyMap WHERE
machineid = 0 and
PADBID IN
(SELECT
PADBID FROM PolicyAssignment
WHERE BodyHash
IS NULL)
No result
Select
* From
vMacAddresses Where
MacAddresses = '00:00:00:00:00:00'
This displays an entry for every time that I have tried to image the unknown machine attached to the MAC Address with a different ItemKey and SMS_Unique_Identifier for each entry.
Added the machine manually using Import Computer Information, immediately recognized the Task Sequences that I have advertised to the All Systems collection.
Any and all assistance is welcome, I am going on the third straight day of dead ends. Below I have tried my best to post the entire SMSTS Log;

2012R2 Application installation steps after deploying OS from Task sequence is slow after applying hotfix 2910552

We are currently using CM2012r2 for Endpoint protection, and in trying to save licensing costs, I have been given the task of doing imaging and application deployment through CM as well... everything started off well... noticed that imaging took a lot longer
than I remembered when I used CM2007 at my previous employer. Found we needed hotfix 2910522 and what took an hour to download now only takes 5 minutes (yay!) Then started other strange issues. Mostly the fact that in the task sequence, the install application
blocks (we have 3 with 4-8 apps each) suddenly got really slow to execute. (boo!) The application blocks eventually finish, but take about 5 hours and only the last block actually installs. For example: 7zip takes 15 minutes to "install"
but since it isn't in the last block, it doesn't in fact install on the system.
so here is what I know so far:
Updated the boot image after applying the hotfix
Added the hotfix to the Windows and configmgr setup step command line to install the patch
Verified that all applications install correctly outside of the task sequence.
Created a new task sequence just in case the hotfix messed something up.
here is what I've noticed:
Only happens on workstations that have been imaged previously by CM (even if I remove the machine from AD and CM)
New machines image just dandy
not hardware specific (tested on 5 different laptop models and 3 desktop models)
workstations that have the issue, when finished, only installed the applications from the last block (4 apps) and none from the previous 2 blocks (16 applications)
If imaged new (not previously known) it installs the client correctly and it checks in, ones with the issue are in internet only mode and don't see the PKI cert for the machine, and will not check in.
Things I've checked, double checked, verified, and done:
All applications have the box for "allow this application to be installed from the Install Application task sequence action..."
applications are on all distribution points
Distribution points are healthy
One MP/DP was complaining about how it couldn't access a SMS folder. uninstalled the roles, let it sit over the weekend, reinstalled this morning
Verified that the servers were on 10Gb full and were not throwing error on the line
Antivirus scanning was not scanning the store (used the built in template for scep)
Next steps that I am going to try:
create a new task sequence and split up install application blocks to only have single applications in them
recreate the boot wim for the media
Thanks in advance

So this issue of yours is in B&C -task sequence? You're using capture CD for capturing, why? Why not automate the build entirely.
I'd suggest you add this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2775511/en-us to your BUILD image (either online of offline, in the WinPE -phase), it fixes many WMI related problems.
After you've done your golden .wim, deploy it to your clients.
We don't do a build and capture because certain applications require handling on our part. Management has said it needs to be a certain way, therefore this is how we have to build it. (mostly settings, and views that can't be controlled through registry,
Group Policy, etc.) There are users that if they have to click on an accept button or it isn't the right color, or they want a different icon in their lab, then they go to the top and it comes back down to us, and our lives become miserable.
We create the image in audit mode, capture it using boot media, and sequence in things that are updated constantly (flash, shockwave, java, etc.) through the task sequence.
in relation to that KB, why would it work on new machines but not ones that have been touched before?

ReleaseRequest failed with error code 0x80004005 \ Task Sequence Manager could not release active TS request. code 80004005

Hi All,
I am trying to deploy an OS but the deployment is failing part way through. I have searched the logs and identified the error: Task Sequence Manager could not release active TS request. code 80004005
If anyone could assist with this is would be much appreciated.
Many thanks

4005 can mean a few things, Some common can be The wrong BIOS time, or a a bad Hard drive. look at those two first.

Jakpak - compare your local packages with ARM packages.

I have decided to write this script for myself after I have recently upgraded my system and (foolishly) removed pacman.log in the meantime. The system crashed and I had no real idea which package upgrade might have been the cause. Thus, this software.
The main idea is to allow the user to quickly check what changes were made to local packages since a given day. Usage:
jakpak -d 05-07-2014 -r core
will provide the user with the list of packages (with their respective versions) that differ between the local system and the particular date specified by the user.
Apparently, the code needs some tuning, therefore if anyone would be interested in using this piece of software, this will follow up in due course. The same applies to a PKGBUILD.
Github link with installation instructions.
Please let me know whether you find it useful!

The listing is alphabetical:
$ ./foo Thu Jul 09 21:29:43 CEST 2014
shaman-git
$ ./foo Thu Jul 09 11:29:43 CEST 2014
flashplugin
imagemagick
intel-dri
libsystemd
mesa
mesa-libgl
shaman-git
systemd
systemd-sysvcompat
xorg-xkbcomp
You may want to sort it e.g. from the oldest to the most recent:
$ cat bar
#!/bin/bash
datesec=$(date -d "$*" +%s)
expac --timefmt=%s '%l %n' | sort -n | awk -v a=$datesec '$1>=a {print $2}'
(just added 'sort -n' before the awk part)
Date has to be in a certain format for the script to work:
$ ./foo 11/07/2014
$ ./foo Jul 11

Help with enabling TPM in Task Sequence for Dell Laptops

Hi there,
I would appreciate some advice on creating a task sequence for Win8.1 with TPM enabling for Dell laptops; I have BitLocker set up manually with a Group policy, but want to have TPM enabled in the task sequence. I have read older posts on sites such as windows
noob, but can't see how to reference the CCTK and get TPM going for win8.1 in a SCCM2012 environment.
Obviously I haven't created this before so any help would be appreciated; I have noticed when I try to import my CCTK configurations into SCCM as it isn't a zip file I cannot do it.

Luckily Dell wrote a whitepaper about that subject, see:

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?
Best Regards,
Joyce

Oracle 11.2 Database Installation - issues with prerequisite package glibc

Hi All,
I am busy installing Oracle 11g R2. One of the prerequisites for package 'glibc-2.3.4-2.41' is failing because our package version is 'glibc-2.3.4-2.25'.
Could I safely ignore this warning?
Thanks,
Kim.
Edited by: user10439059 on Oct 29, 2009 11:59 PM

download the 'glibc-2.3.4-2.41' rpm and apply it and then start installing..You should be really carful when replacing things like the glibc. If he has not the required version then me is
probably using a not certified operating system. All certified operating system already ship with the required versions.
I am not saying upgrading the glibc wont work... but you might end up with inconsistent system.

Clips stretched in Canvas view with same footage from previous sequence

I created a 1 minute video to play on a laptop that I've edited down to 30 seconds. This 30 second version will be playing on a television, so I changed the Sequence Presets to "DV NTSC 48Hz" and the QuickTime video settings from "Photo -JPEG" (since I'm using still shots in the video) back to "DV/DVPRO NTSC."
I'm using the exact same clips and essentially duplicated the previous sequence and edited down the clips. But for some reason, the clips appeared stretched in the Canvas with black bars on either side, and it exports the same way as a Quicktime file. I checked the Sequence settings on both the 1 minute and 30 sequence versions, and they are identical. Any idea why the clips would all of a sudden stretch and how to resolve it?
Thanks!

Still images within the sequence are Photo JPEG Quicktime files
Why? FCP can read actual picture files. Just curious. PhotoJPEG at 75%?
so I changed the Sequence Presets to "DV NTSC 48Hz" and the QuickTime video settings from "Photo -JPEG" (since I'm using still shots in the video) back to "DV/DVPRO NTSC."
What was the sequence setting before? Why did you use that setting if your footage was DV?
OK...try this. Explain your workflow. What did you start out with as your settings? Why did you do this? What was your intended workflow?
If you put a DV file into a sequence setting of anything other than DV, the file will adjust to meet those parameters. For example, I edit DVCPRO HD 720p at 960x720. When I drop a DV file into the sequence, it will scale up to 150% so that it fits full screen (with black bars on left and right...200% makes it fill the screen). I have adjusted the settings on the clip.
Now, if I adjusted the SEQUENCE settings, the clip settings remain the same...still 150%...so they will appear large or distorted. You then need to fix each clip until it is right with the sequence. Or fix one and then copy and paste the attributes to the other.
Still, I don't understand why you were in a different preset to begin with. Was the first clip you added to the sequence a PHOTO JPEG still, so the settings adjusted to that?

Run app with Class Files from JBuilder

Hi,
I have Java class files (at this point no java source code/files).
How can I run the application from JBuilder with these class files.

Thank you Annie.
I want to run JBuilder in debug mode.
Basically my application connects to the Sybase db. It will get some data from tables. But when I am running my app in debug mode ... I am hoping that it will show me the data. I dont see any data from the db tables.
Do I need to setup anything else to see what data it is selecting through JBuilder

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

Running a Task Sequence within a Task Sequence

We are running an SCCM 2012 R2 setup for OSD, WSUS, App Deployment and Endpoint Protection.
To simplify the management of drivers across several OSD task sequences, I'd like to have one "master" task sequence containing only Apply Device Drivers with model specific targeting that is referenced from the OSD task sequences.
Why would I want this? With every new computer model that is being added to the environment (We are currently supporting 20 different computer models, and the list keeps growing), I have to update one task sequence with model specific targeting for a driver
package, then copy all the changes to several other task sequences. To try to simplify the administration and reduce the chance of human error and ensure consistency across the board, this would probably be the best way to ensure this.

Out-of-the-box you can't start one task sequence within another task sequence. A few workarounds:
You can make your task sequence put your computer object in a new collection which has a new task sequence targeted, but that probably won't perform that well;
You can target multiple task sequences to the same collection and try to use PowerShell to trigger a new task sequence. For example something like this (I have never tried to use this from a task sequence):
http://powersheller.wordpress.com/2012/05/24/sccm-2012-execute-task-sequence-with-powershell/
You can try to merge your current task sequences.

Since what I'd like to do is to "pause" the current task sequence until the second task sequence has run and then resume the current task sequence (Just the apply drivers step) I don't think either would be great options. I guess the copy paste
option is what is left for me.
Thanks for replying and your suggestions
