SCCM/MDT TS: Skipping Install Applications Step

[joshA]

Hello All:

 

I have a problem with my SCCM2012/MDT2013 Task Sequence where it's skipping the app install step.  The whole TS runs fine and the coalesce apps scrip runs because I can see the output, but then it just completely skips installing the apps.  All I see in SMSTS.log is:

There are no App*.log files at all.  I'm at a loss of why it won't execute.  I have managed to run this same TS twice and it installed the apps and now, nothing.  I have even tried deleting and re-adding the install steps.  I have included the smsts.log, zticoalesce.log, and bdd.log.  If anyone needs other logs please let me know.

 

Thanks,

Josh

Hi,

Interesting, what if you run a script like this https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/mniehaus/2010/04/26/dumping-task-sequence-variables/ to dump all the TS variables before the Install apps step so you can see the variables that are present at that time..

From your smsts.log

'App policy for 'VMWare Remote Console Plug-in 5.1' not received. Make sure the application is marked for dynamic app install'

For that particular application, if is isn't deployed, do you have "Allow this application to be installed from the Install Application task sequence action without being deployed" ticked in the application properties?

Does the Install Applications section run if you temporarily remove the above application from the Task Sequence?
