    ok thanks. On the packages we push out, I do select the "Allow Clients to share Content..." but we do not have a policy that sets the BranchCache automatically. Maybe I'll have to set that.

    Can you help me find that setting?

    ok, I thought the "Excluded" meant it would NOT search for those. However, I just recently added those last 2 entries and it was discovering them anyway, so I'm not sure that's my final solution. I'll remove those 2 for now and see what happens.

    Where would I define a valid target container? I assure you it is discovering all kinds of pc's. Including everything in this list above.

    We are having a major problem with our thin clients in the organization. We recently found out that a lot of them have the SCCM client installed and are now installing updates and software and running the hard drives out of space. In Active Directory System Discovery, I have the Thin Clients in a blocked OU and it's set to Excluded. When I delete these from SCCM, they are rediscovered. What am I missing here?

    Is there a way to monitor how much bandwidth is used by these updates. Now that we are pushing them out, I am getting all kinds of calls for slow computers.
  7. nhottinger
    Yes, I rebooted multiple times thinking the same thing, but they still come up as Failed.

    I have just started pushing out updates via SCCM 2012. I downloaded the updates into a separate WSUS folder, created a deployment package and software update group and deployed the updates. When I look on the system, it shows the updates are there, but all of them failed. When I click retry in software center, they install just fine. What am I missing that these install manually but not automatically like the deployment was setup to do? **Update** Some of the pc's received the updates just fine, others did not. Not sure what the difference is yet, but I'll keep looking into it. I do see a bunch of "errors" in the UpdatesDeployment.log which state: Update (Site_xxxxx) not actionable, no attempt required." What does that mean?

    I have been deploying software packages to different collections and can see what percentage of the collection successfully installed the package, but is there a way in SCCM 2012 to see what pc's did NOT install the software package? Is this a report manager task? *Edit* I asked and answered my own question. I was able to find the report to show the status of the deployment down to which pc received it and which did not.

    I don't see an option to enable SMS_Software, but I do have "Enable the Asset Intelligence Synchronization Point" checked. But no Inventoried software. ** Edit ** I didn't look deep enough in. I found the checkbox for SMS_InstalledSoftware. It is not currently checked. I will check that and run an update and see what I come up with.

    We have changed a server that many shortcuts to the application point to. I've been asked to determine which pc's have the incorrect shortcut so we can fix them. Is there a way to setup an inventory report to check which pc's have this bad shortcut? Or can I only inventory pc's' with a specific shortcut name?

    Did anyone find a way to get this working? I can use the system report but it would be nice to have the MAC address listed here so that I don't have to run that report. We image close to 50 pc's at a time and when one fails, it's a pain to search through each unknown device to find the one I'm looking for.

    Previously we had a 32-bit Windows 7 image that was deployed through a TS. The domain join was accomplished through the Apply Network Settings task and has worked fine, and still does. I recently captured a 64-bit Windows 7 image and used the same task sequence, just changed the image package but the domain join does not happen. When I try to log in after the TS finishes, I get the error "The security database on the server does not have a computer account for the workstation trust relationship". What am I missing?

    Could this issue have anything to do with Boundaries? We have some setup, but maybe we missed one. We have noticed that it appears to work just fine here in house, but most, if not all, of our remote locations fail to install.

    We have packaged and deployed adobe flash player 11 to our organization. In our testing it has worked fine, however when we deploy it to all users machines, many of them are not able to install the application. When we (IT with admin rights) log in, it installs just fine. Is there a way to deploy the application with admin rights so our standard users are able to install it on their own, or am I missing something else?

    I have manually installed Win7 on a pc in order to capture the image. I have disjoined from the domain, logged in as local admin, stopped the SMS Host agent service. I created a USB capture media, and started the process. I get to the point where the wizard starts, I enter the name of the .wim and all the other information. When I click finish, nothing happens. It never gets to the part where it starts to capture the image. What am I missing? What logs can I view to see the imaging process?

    Here are some more logs. smsts.log smsts-20131205-181530.log smsts-.log

    The compliance report that is close to what I need is the Software Updates - A Compliance - Compliance 2 - specific software update, but that requires a lot of drilling down into the report to find what server got what update. I'm looking for a report that will display each server, then all the updates it has. Maybe there isn't anything like this, and I have no idea how to create custom reports.

    I ended up creating a task sequence for this. The first part installs the software, then a cmd line copies the file over. Thanks for everyone's help.

    I created a new wim and tried again with the same results. The OS applies successfully, but never runs the Post Installation tasks of the sequence which installs the software packages. All I could find on the system was the smsts.log, can you tell me where the other logs are located so I can upload those as well? smsts.log

    I'll try these suggestions. When I used EMCO the other day, I started the monitoring, installed the application, manually copied the file to the location needed, then stopped the monitoring. It created the .msi for me but did not include the file copy for some reason. I'll try again. Thanks for your input.

    ozthe2, We have software to create .msi's (EMCO msi builder) but don't know if I can use that in the same way you are talking. As you saying I should create an msi, package it, create a batch file to copy the file and in the deployment properties of the software, make a dependency to run the batch file once the software is complete? I tried something similar and it never ran the batch file. I'm sure I did something wrong though.

    Iroqouiz, I'm new to SCCM, I'm not sure how to use a task sequence to install software. When I have tried that in the past, the task sequence never shows up in the Software Center.
  24. nhottinger
    We have packaged an app (easy part) and now need to copy a file to the local pc once the install is complete. Is there an easy way to add a batch file to do this, or some other way to get the file copied over from a shared location once the software package installs?
  25. nhottinger
    After some work, I determined it was a problem with the wim itself. We had another wim that I added to the task sequence and it completed fine. When we put the new wim back in the task sequence it didn't complete again. I am in the process of recreating a new wim for this image and will try again later. Thanks for the response. If I run into errors again with this new one I will post those logs.
