Computername doesn't change during task sequence

[kevlar01]

Hi,

Since a while we have problems with a step during our Windows 10 task sequence. This step is a powershell script which changes the computer description based on a variable which is set during the OSDMenu.hta (a form which pops up in the beginning of the task sequence where the computerdescription is filled out). 

For whatever reason, this step doesn't work anymore, but in the past this worked fine.

The computerdescription isn't too long (more than 15 characters), and the user which is used in this step has sufficient rights. I have also tested it with a domain admin account but it didn't make any difference. We also have a step which sets the computername but this is no issue.

 

The script which is used is the following:

 

Quote

# Script to set the Computer description in AD for the computer on which it is executed from.
# Example Command line Powershell.exe -Set-ExecutionPolicy bypass -file .\SetComputerDesc "Computer Description"

[string]$Description = $args[0]

    try {

        $ComputerDn = ([ADSISEARCHER]"sAMAccountName=$($env:COMPUTERNAME)$").FindOne().Path
        $ADComputer = [ADSI]$ComputerDn
        $ADComputer.description = $Description
        $ADComputer.SetInfo()

    }
    catch {
        $_.Exception.Message ; Exit 1
    }

 

I have created a status message query for the task sequence and the error stated says it is an 'Incorrect function'

Anyone else which has this problem?

 

[anyweb]

incorrect function means the script is failing,

is the script itself logging to anywhere ? if not, what does smsts.log reveal for this step in the task sequence

[kevlar01]

Thanks for your quick reply Anyweb. Unfortunately the script has no logging of itself.

 

Below is a snippet from the smsts.log of a computer rolled out a while ago (the issue was existing at that time).

[anyweb]

the first problem seems to be this

 

CreateProcessAsUser failed. Code(0x8007010B)  

 

which translates to...

you could try pressing F8 when the HTA is on screen, and running your powershell script manually to see if that gives any clues, or modify the original script to include logging to capture the exception message to a log file so we see what's actually wrong,

that's what i'd do...

Thanks, I will look in to that !
