Past due - will be retried

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I think I'm missing something regarding deployment scheduling and deadlines.

 

I have created an uninstall script for an application that runs interactively.

So user action is required because the uninstall of that software will cause other pograms to stop responding.

 

The uninstall works flawlessly.

Users have the option to postone the uninstall 5x.

After they've postpone the fifth time the uninstall will be forced.

 

Now here is the problem...

I have deployed this to a device collection as Required.

When users postpone the uninstall, in software center it shows "Past due - will be retried".

When i run it manually in software center again, I see what I have to see and I can again choose to postpone or do the uninstall now.

 

Why is manual action required?

I have made it Required. Shouldn't SCCM push the application by itself at certain intervals?

 

Settings of deployment:

Installation deadline: "As soon as possible after the available time"

 

In User experience...

On this window, under "When the installation deadline is reached, allow the following activities to be performed outside the maintenance window" I checked "Software Installation"

"Commit changes at deadline or during a maintenance window" is also checked.

The software will be pushed on the date/time you made it available. It will run on the deadline you set. If you have a maintenance window define, the installation will be postponed; if you've checked the setting to install software when the deadline is reached, then it should run. Unless there is another variable that you didn't mention. Cheers!
