Run Command not working in Task Sequence for OSD

[LiamMc18]

Hi all,

Please be patient with me - I'm quite new to SCCM.

I have recently created an image the old fashioned way (in terms of loading it with apps etc) of Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB and used SCCM to sysprep/capture the image. I then built a task sequence to deploy via PXE boot.

The image applies successfully to the PCs we have been imaging and the post imaging tasks (joining to the domain etc.) also complete without error.

MS Office 2016 Pro Plus x86 is part of the image. I am trying to run the following command at the end of the task sequence I have created to input a MAK product key and activate Office:

Quote

cmd /c cscript.exe “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs” /inpkey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX && cmd.exe /c cscript.exe “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\ospp.vbs” /act

This does not complete and does not appear to throw up any error which relates to why it is not applying.

Extract from the smsts.log file on the client after it's completed the task sequence:

If I copy and paste the run command into command prompt with admin privileges post deployment it completes successfully. 

Attached is the image of the task sequence.

What I have tried:

• Separating the commands to two separate run commands. One for inserting the product key and one for activating
• Disable 64-bit file system redirection
• Run with domain admin account

Please can someone help?

"parsing" you are looking at the part of the smsts.log where it parses through the commands it has to execute, to see how your step performs, search for "start executing" instead and see what errors if any are present for the actual step, and not the 'parsed' step
