Trouble with Software Distribution

[StueyT]

Hi all,

 

Having a fw issues with software distribution. We're evaluating SCCM at the mo, and have a few machines with the client installed. I made a Firefox package as an example using the steps found on this forum. The clients seem to vaguely see the advertisment if the logs are to be followed, but the package is not installed on the clients and if I go to 'Run Advertised Programs', the package is not listed. The Execmgr.log looks like this...

Any ideas?

[generalopinion]

This sounds like something specific to Firefox. Are you having trouble deploying all packages? I'd recommend trying to deploy another package (i.e. not Firefox) and see what you get.

 

Firefox Installation Information

Are you using the uncompressed setup.exe file (the one that's extracted to a temp folder) or the downloaded .exe file as the program for the package?
