SCCM 2012: remove App-v application

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a removal of an app-v application as soon as a user isn't member of a specific group.
*I targetted an install of an App-v application to a group of which testuser is member.
*I targetted an uninstall of an App-v application to a group of which testuser is member.
Now although the mechanism might work, when the user is member of both groups and I leave the deployment NOT hidden, the message in software center is "0x87D0128E or
"Could not uninstall the App-V deployment type because of conflict. The published components in this DT are still published by other DTs. This DT will be always detected as long as other DTs are still installed."
I can set the deployment to hidden, but what I understood is that install takes priority to uninstall so uninstall won't happen. Well, apparently it does happen.
Even though I could hide the uninstall, it is a messy setup.
Please advise how this is setup correctly.

Hi,
Have you checked the log files AppDiscovery.log, AppEnforce.log? Maybe it can give us some clues.

Removing App-V Applications when the User/Machine is no longer a member of part of an AD group

Hi All,
We currently use SCCM 2012 R2 Applications (not Packages) to deploy App-V application to users. We use AD Security Groups for users who are to receive the relevant App-V apps.
However what I am getting stuck on is the removal of the application when the user is no longer a member of the security group.
I have followed the details in the blog listed below, however I running into a major issue when testing:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrdogs/archive/2014/11/03/managing-app-v-deployments-in-configmgr-2012.aspx
Whilst for the main part it works, the main issue is that if another user of the same application logs into the original users' machine, the app gets pulled down again. When the original
user logs back in, although they will have no capability to launch the application (as no icons appear to be presented to the original user), the app will be back in the cache. No
good if a 3rd party licensing tool is producing licensing reports are based on the app existing within the client cache.
The point/question I am trying to get to.............. is it possible to have the uninstall application (not package) deployment re-run everytime the SCCM client polls so that re-installed applications via A N Other user are removed again based on the
above scenario?
Cheers
Andy

Andy,
Try out the following http://sccmentor.wordpress.com/2013/11/15/creating-a-user-collection-based-on-users-not-in-a-ad-user-group/
Select SMS_R_USER.ResourceID,SMS_R_USER.ResourceType,SMS_R_USER.Name,SMS_R_USER.UniqueUserName,SMS_R_USER.WindowsNTDomain from SMS_R_User where SMS_R_User.ResourceID not in (select SMS_R_USER.ResourceID from SMS_R_User where SMS_R_User.UserGroupName
like “<Domain>\\<AD Group>”)
This just checks AD membership and unpublishes if not a member of the AD group. It's not the nicest of methods as will run for every user if not a member of the group - but may get round your issue.

SCCM 2012 - Wrong user in application catalog

Hi everybody,
i´ve got some strange things with my SCCM 2012 Server.
The Software deployment works nearly perfect but there is a different user logged in the application catalog then logged into Windows.
Is there any chance to change the logged in user in the application catalog? Or anybody knows where SCCM takes the information to set the account?
Thanks and Regards

Internet Explorer usually uses the credentials of the logged-in user to connect to the Application Catalog website. Any chance that there are pre-existing connection to the server hosting the app catalog?
Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de
I´ve made a hole IE10 reset and cleared the browser cache. There are no other existing connections to the Server.
Is there any chance to manually set the user used for the apllication catalog? Maybe in the UserProfile?

SCCM 2012 and App-V Virtual Environment challenges.

Hi
We are running App-V 5.0 from our SCCM 2012 installation. I have created a App-V Virtual Environment for IE 9 witch includes Silverlight and Java, and i works perfect. However I have experienced a problem every time Java publishes a new java version, were
iE crashes. What is the best/smartest way to add a new Java in App-V Virtual Environment. Can i do it on the fly, or do i have to create a new App-V Virtual Environment, and delete the old one? Can you have 2 different Java versions in the same App-V Virtual
Environment And finally, how long time should it take before newpluggin is registered on the client.
Br. Per

Personally I prefer to uses layers to build up your image.
So:
Layer-0 = Operating System
Layer-1 = Frameworks (.NET Framework, C++, Java, Silverlight, etc)
Layer-2 = Office (Office Suite, Corporate Identity plugins, Lync, etc)
Layer-3 = Locally installed applications users can start (Adobe Reader, 7-zip, etc)
Layer-4 = Virtual applications (Notepad++, Winmerge, etc)
I place Java in Layer-1. Locally installed and updated by a deployment tool (in your case SCCM). There are some pros and cons about this:
Pros:
- Easy to update
- Less package size
Con:
- Every app should be tested when updated
- Security is reduced because it is locally installed
So, to answer your questions
What is the best/smartest way to add a new Java in App-V Virtual Environment?
You can add it to the package by using the "Modify an Existing Virtual Application Package" option in the sequencer.
Can you have 2 different Java versions in the same App-V Virtual Environment?
If you use 2 seperate packages, yes. That's the advantage of virtualization.
Some applications support two versions in the same package, you should test this for Java.
How long time should it take before newpluggin is registered on the client?
If you import your new package into SCCM it should take as long as a new package.

SCCM 2012 Clients not getting applications...

Hi
we have windows 7 clients getting applications deployments through SCCM 2012.
it was working fine...suddenly couple of clients on the particular collection not getting the applications and nothing is displayed on the software center.
verified the Site connections and re-pushed the policyes manually through config manager. restarted sms host agent service...still nothing is working out
getting "Policy does not yet exist on the client" in execmgr.log & CAS.log
where could be the issue? please help
thanks
ananth

I realize that this is an old forum post but in my search to resolve a similar policy application issue I stumbled across it and noticed that anan2k's last question wasn't answered (and I can help). First of all you can check the custom client/user configuration
in the Administration Node. By default SCCM creates a Default Client Settings and sets a priority of 10,000 though this is not deployed by default.
The policy polling interval is actually configured as one of the policies. When you create and deploy a custom client device policy you can select Client Policy as one of the custom settings and within this setting you can establish the policy polling schedule.
I have mine set to 30 minutes which may be a bit high but it generally worked for my environment.
I hope this helps a little bit though I imagine by now that you found the settings or resolved your issue. If you found a solution please post it as I am plagued by policy not applying to my clients.
Thanks again,
Chris Bolton

SCCM 2012 Deployment Packages and Applications deployment order

Hello I have an application which deploys Office 2013 through SCCM 2012 I then want to copy some templates to two directories in Office. I have added a script the OFC tool which is suppose to run after the install. But the files don't appear. If I run the
same script manually all the files are copied. I ended up creating a package just for the Office Template files, but I have to run this manually afterwards. Should I Persist with the script or is there a way to run the package automatically after the application
deployed has run?

Sounds like best solution is to create an MSI that can copy the template files and deploy as an application after Office Install. Is this something I can do in Install Shield?
Seems weird that they would have an option in the MSP to run a script but it doesn't work.
I wouldn't go to that trouble myself, but that's because I don't author MSIs as part of my role (we have a packaging team who do that task, and they seem to regard authoring an MSI as the solution for everything ;)
the ConfigMgr AppModel happily caters for all kinds of payloads, despite referring to them as "applications" there is no requirement for the payload to be an MSI.
MS have long documented that the "run scripts" and "chaining" features of the Office setup engine are "not robust" (i.e. not very tolerant, are a one-shot kind of thing). Some seem to work just fine, others have no joy with it. I don't use it myself, there
are plenty of other methods, but I find it comes down to what you are comfortable/confident/familiar with. Everything has pros and cons, and above all else, I've found that it's my/our assumptions/understandings that tend to be why things go off-course.

SCCM 2012 - Deploying Office 2013 Application - Setup Errors

dear SCCM admins,
i am trying to test deploying office 2013 to users in my company. i made the application and deployments. the application appeared in the software center and in the application catalog.
The problem is whenever a user "which is not a local administrator" tries to install this application, it gives me the setup errors message saying "You must have administrative privileges to install or uninstall this
product."
Is there any specific configuration to make to overcome this behavior???
appreciate your suggesstions
M.Zakaria

As you can see from the screenshot you need to add the ProductID after the uninstall command.
See here for finding the ProductID

I removed App store application on my MacBook Air, how do I get it back?

Hi there,
I removed my App store from my mac and now I can't find anywhere a link to download it again.
I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10 and would appreciate any help guys!
Best regards,
Svetoslav K

If you have a backup which contains it, restore it from there. If not, back the computer up, restart with the Command and R keys held down, and reinstall Mac OS X.

SCCM 2012r2 - Remove "invisible" packages/applications from Distribution Point

Hello alltogether,
I've encountered the following issue:
Our distribution points are displaying applications/packages as "In Progress - Waiting for Prestage content".
These packages doesn't exist anymore. Neither as prestage file nor in the config manager itself. We never tried to apply this package by using a prestage file because such a file never existed.
Even if I open the "content" tab of one distribution point, I can't find these packages in there.
The exact status of this package is the following:
Message: Distribution Content
Message Detail: Distribution Manager instructed Package Transfer manager to send Package "x" to distribution point "y".
Status Type: In Progress
I want to remove these "ghost" packages from the Distribution Status overview. Anyone has a clue how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards
Feyh

Hello,
thanks for your answer!
Unfortunately no, there is no information about these files.
Yesterday we installed a new one, extracted all of our prestage files on it and watched the status. The Packages weren't listed in the "Distribution Point Configuration Status".
After some time we added the new DP to our general DP-group where all of our packages/applications are assigned to. Now the "non-existing" packages are added with the "in Progress" status.
I had a look into "Distribution Point groups -> Our group -> properties -> content" but these packages aren't displayed in the list. Some of the packages are now in the "waiting for prestage content" state, others are staying with the "Detail will
be available after the server finishes proccessing ...".
We managed to remove one of the packages by deleting it from the database.
The following statement removed it from the Distribution status overview. However, we still are able to find the package in the database.
select * from SMSPackageswhere PkgID = 'P100003B'
DELETE from SMSPackages
where PkgID = 'P100003B'
Apparently the delete-statement affected 72 rows. But we are having no clue which. As long as we are not sure we killed anything important we are not going to do this with the other packages because it's the productive system. We can't reproduce this in our
test system...

How to uncheck "install new versions automatically" from INTERNET EXPLORER 11 from SCCM 2012

We have deployed "Internet Explorer 11" application through SCCM 2012 console .the deployed application was customized using "Internet Explorer customization wizard 11" tool.

seeking solution:
how to uncheck "install new versions automatically" check box from SCCM 2012 console.
please let me know if we have any solution for this instant
thanks,
Gc.Hanumareddy

Hi,
For option: "install new versions automatically", we can simply prevent it via GPO or registry (the registry entry can also be deployed via GPO)
Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Internet Explorer - Install new versions of Internet Explorer automatically
Or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"EnableAutoUpgrade"=dword:00000000

SCCM 2012 - Distributing Flash 16 Active X & Plugin - Disables Play sound in Webpages

Hello,
We use MS SCCM 2012 R2 to distribute applications and some updates.
We have created the necessary packages to distribute adobe flash 16 active X & plugin.
Our end user environment consists of Win7 64bit, with a range of IE 9,10,11. Mostly 9 then 11 and a few 10s
A test deployment to approx 20 users told us that in about 33-50% of the time an IE setting was modified.
This setting is found at Internet Options, Advanced, Settings, (Scroll down) to Multimedia. Setting "Play sounds in webpages"
Is there a way to prevent this change from happening?

Anyone? I am attempting to reach adobe support via phone... Seems adobe doesn't like to be called for flash.

I heard some promote use of "Terminal Services(RDS)", rather than App-V application with SCCM 2012 even if you have SCCM licens.

Hi,
I heard some promote use of "Terminal Services(RDS)", rather than App-V application with SCCM 2012 even if you have SCCM licens. The reason you dont need to repackage\test the application on an client OS...
I don't agree and I have not Heard this Before, just that you use TS for some scenario.
Or is it more likely that "Terminal Services(RDS)", take over the applikation administration?
/SaiTech

Surely this all depends on your environment. There's nothing wrong with creating RemoteApps to push to client devices. Maybe you have an environment where RDS is widely used.
Why not leverage both solutions and target App-V's at RDS servers and then create App-V based RemoteApps that users can run at home as part of a home working solution via RDWeb.
Creating apps via RDS will be an admin overhead yes but then so is creating App-V packages in SCCM.
I don't agree with the arguement re: 'you dont need to repackage\test the application on an client OS...' as
App-V allows you to run on multple O/S types.
To be honest both technologies have their pros and cons.

App-V 5.0 SP2 user applications published via SCCM 2012 to VDI workstations with roaming only

Hi,
The environment consists of App-V 5.0 SP2 (KB2956985) user based applications published via SCCM 2012 to Windows 7 VDI snapshotted workstations that are reset at user logoff.
When a user logs on the SCCM 2012 client initiates App-V client package publishing. After a couple of minutes after logon the shortcuts appear and the user can launch their applications.
The issue is that at logoff, even with roaming enabled, the publishing information disappears. This causes the next logon process for that user to repeat, the applications are not available until the SCCM client has completed it's publishing cycle.
Roaming profiles are implemented. %APPDATA% is redirected to a UNC path. The following registry key is set
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Integration\PreserveUserIntegrationsOnLogin=1
U-EV, global publishing of applications, and AppLocker rules are not an option. Also, I have read this already - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn659478.aspx#BKMK_PE
I do not want to wait for the SCCM client to kick in prior to the user applications being available. What do I need to roam or run to create a seamless transition for the user between sessions?
Eddie.

Hi Tywin (bad username considering the last GoT Episode ;))
If you ask Microsoft, they always recommend using SCCM for deploying App-V packages and reuse your current SCCM infrastructure if that is already in place. Problem is, as you now experience, is that there is some big caveats both in regards to publishing
time and to roaming of settings.
As Nické states I would suggest looking into the Full Infrastructure Model for App-V 5.x, which gives you much better performance in what I call "from no apps" to "being able to click the shortcut" - the add and publishing phase. If you don't have the time/budget/whatever
to start looking into that, you could look into some community tools like App-V Scheduler which is developed specific by Citrix guys to ease the publishing and management in a Citrix world.
Microsoft have a great article about Performance Guidelines, which you have read, but it mostly presumes you work with Full Infrastructure. Have you looked into Steve Thomas' session from TechEd NA? It talks about "implementation trends".

Automate import applications(app-v) in sccm 2012

Hi,
I wonder it there are some ready made tools to import applications, specifically app-v in SCCM 2012.
F.e. an excel-sheet/csv that is filled in with predefined fields and then can import applications.
Pls advise.
J.
Jan Hoedt

The only community tool that I know is SCCM 2012 Application Importer, see:
https://sccmappimp.codeplex.com/
AFAIK, this tool doesn't work with App-V applications, yet.
