Program not showing up in Run Advertised prgms

[Milagro]

The package for SP3 has been created, program was setup and then advertised to a test collection. As I understand the task,if you do not assign a mandatory assignement it should show up in the "Run Advertised Programs", it has not not sure how to troubleshoot the problem. Any ideas?

what group or collection have you advertised this to ?

what group or collection have you advertised this to ?

 

it is advertised to a direct membership sub collection. it is a sub to a collection created by query. the query targets a specific AD OU. The computers are SP2 and I am testing the SP3 upgrade and want the user to start the install when they have time to do the lengthy install.

ok and the computers are showing up correctly in the collection ? and if you right click on the collection do you see the advertisement listed ? what are the advertisement settings set to ? is the Environment tab of the task sequence set in any way ?

the computers show up in the collection, collection properties shows the advertisment, distribution points are set to download content, clients are allowed to fall back to unprotected dp, priority is medium with no mandatory assignments. I did not use a task sequence for this app. I created the package, then the program and finally advertised it to the collection.

thanks.

ah ok, so are these computers seeing any advertisements at all ? can you post the logs in the ccm\logs folder (zip them up)

hey there,

 

i have exactly the same problem.

computers are in the subcollection based on the OU and the computers show up there, program is displayed on the advertisements for the collection.

the computers also get the notification that the program will be installed within 15 minutes (which seems to fail, but this is another topic =) )

i created the package for firefox as described in the tutorial i found on this forum (great tut btw).

 

which logs (client or server) do i have to look at? i test sccm 2007r2 with my windows 7 ultimate 32 bit workstation.

 

thanks & greets,
