hi all,
Been going great guns with sccm and win7 deployments all achieved via the great help available on this site - congrats to niall on the MVP - no more than you deserve !!
(been super busy documenting it all - hopefully get it to niall at some point so if any of it is useful it can be posted up - been saying that for at least 2 months now.....documentation seems never ending with this sccm project at present)
MY PROBLEM :
nothing on sccm has changed and it has been used to deploy win7 x64 for the last 2 month without issue.
I have a task sequence with the usual bits in, one of which is apply updates which has also been working fine.
however when i updated the update list with october 2010 patches, my task sequence now hangs at the - downloading 1 patch of 56...
it doesnt get to the installing patch X of X....
I left one of the box's for 12+ hours and there was no change.
From what logs i can see, it is just sitting there, and because it isnt timing out, im not getting an error (as far as I can see) however it is no longer applying the updates, or moving on to the next task in the sequence - software deployment.
I have had a dig around in the forums here and on net, and cannot really find anything conclusive.
However, as part of the task sequence i have the install config manager with no additional parameters.
question(S):
What is the exact syntax of the entries for SMSSLP and SMSMP ?
Is this nessesary ? as it has been working fine without these set ?
our server is called UEASCCMWEB01
do i just enter :
SMSSLP=UEASCCMWEB01
SMSMP=UEASCCMWEB01
in the installation properties ? see screenie.
Anyone else had any issue like this ?
I have also taken out the october 2010 updates from the updatelist, and now my task sequence is working again, installing win7 , updates and software.....
Any help or pointers would be nice - I will continue to investigate and keep youposted if I sort it.
Thanks and regards to you all as always !!
