Office 2010 in Windows 7 OSD Task Sequence Deployment...

[MRaybone]

Hi all,

 

I have a Win7 OSD TS which seems to be working fine, installing drivers and software nicely etc. However It's always failing on the Office 2010 installation. It's a totally silent configuration, the install works fine in an OS and as an advertised program, but when run in the OSD TS, it always stalls and the log fills with "Waiting for job status notification". This is logged every 30 seconds until the program runtime expires (currently 30 minutes).

 

Does anyone have any insight on this??

 

Cheers,

MRaybone.

Is that the only message from the log?

Yes, it;s the only message. I have my doubts as to whether the setup program is actually properly executing. The system is browsable over the network at this point and I can't see any logs created by Office setup anywhere (like they usually are).

Sorted. A silly little SCCM nuance!

 

I was running an install script from a sub-folder within the package source ie. the path within the SCCM Program was "Folder1\Install.CMD".

Moving the .CMD file to the root of the source folder and putting in a "cd Folder1" at the start of the script fixed it.
