Run Package from DP

[peggyp]

hi guys, so I've been playing around with SCCM because at work, we're moving to SCCM from Novell. So I have this one app, let's call it MSC. it has a silent install switch and i've scripted it like so:

 

start /wait %~dp0marc\setup.exe /s /f1%~dp0marc\setup.iss

 

Here is the process of how I get it on SCCM:

 

1. Created a package called MSC v1

2. Copied source file to DP

3. Created a program called 'Install' which basically runs the above script inside a batch file (installcommands.bat)

4. Set Program to be able to run 'Whether or not a user is logged on'

5. Selected 'Run with Administrator rights'

6. Selected 'Requires drive letter'

7. Create Advertisement for the above program

8. Assigned it to a collection that contains 1 PC

9. Set it so that it 'Run program from distribution point'

 

When I try to run this advertisement manually from the PC, it fails with the following error in execmgr.log

Can anyone shed some light as to why it is not working? If run the script manually via UNC or manually mapped a drive (ie Z) on the targeted machine, it works fine.....

 

TIA!

Very briefly... After making sure your script works when triggered manually...

 

1. Put all your source files and your script into a folder.

2. Use that folder to create a Package.

3. Create a Program with the command line pointing to your script file (use the Browse button if you want)

4. No need to map a network drive or use a letter since all the needed items are in the folder.

4. Update your DPs.

5. You can either run it from the DP, or download and run locally (the second option comes in handy with laptops and internet-based PCs if you're running in Native mode)

 

And I'm a VBScripter, so I'd use a script more like this (this is just rough code and not a whole script):

strScriptFileDirectory = objFSO.GetParentFolderName(wscript.ScriptFullName)

TempFolder = objWshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%temp%")

strSetupFilePath = strScriptFileDirectory & "\setup.exe"

strCommandLine = """" & strSetupFilePath & """ /S /SMS /f1""" & strScriptFileDirectory & "\SETUP.ISS"""

intReturn = objWshShell.Run (strCommandLine, 1, True)
