Hi

 

Thanks for reply its really helped me ...but I faced some problem in SCCM

 

from PC the command is working well but didn't work in SCCM, I added the following command line under

package - program - command line

 

sysocmgr.exe /i:%windir%\inf\sysoc.inf /u:G:\DWC\DWC.txt

 

I browser to folder G:\DWC\ which I saved txt file

 

The error massage show me "you extend the maximum time allowed"... and the maximum time is already 120m .....

I think it's waiting for user input, as you are not using /q (runs Sysocmgr.exe in quiet mode (without display pages))

I have this error msg do you this its cause the problem ..its related to accessing

 

"MP has rejected a policy request from GUID:3409568D-E783-40E8-B544-594866054833 because it was not approved. The operating system reported error 2147942405: Access is denied."

This error means,the client is not approved with this GUID ID.

To findout the computer to approve it manually,you can use the report given below.

You can also create a collection to list the computers which are not approved as well.

Hi again

 

I solved the problem

 

If I want remove some windows components and some of that component is already removed (Ex. spider game)the advertisement will not working well it will give you an error meg that you exceed the allow time but when i tried push the package to machine have that components it working fine.

 

Here is the steps to remove some of windows components (Games and messenger):

1. create txt file contain windows components name as following

 

Components]

msmsgs = off

Freecell = off

Hearts = off

Minesweeper = off

Solitaire = off

Spider = off

zonegames=off

 

then save it in sccm server inside shared folder DWC and give it name DWC.TXT

2. Copy Sysocmgr.exe file from windows machine and save it in DWC folder.

 

3. Use the command line:

sysocmgr.exe /i:%windir%\inf\sysoc.inf /u:\\SCCMserver\DWC\DWC.txt /q

 

* Run: Normal

* After Running: No action required

* in Environment tab set these: Program can run “whether or not user is logged on” & “run with Administrative rights” & "all users to interact with this program"

 

4. Create advertisement and push to test collection

5. Go to client machine and & initiate actions:

a) "Machine policy retrieval & evaluation cycle"

“User policy retrieval & evaluation cycle"

 

the above 2 steps is only to fasting receive the package no need to wait long time.

 

6. Checked the Cache folder and make sure the machine receive the package.

 

Note: If some of components in the txt file already uninstalled the advertisement will not working.
