Task Sequence Stops Without Error

[Keslaa]

Hello all,

I am working with a task sequence that has been used many times already, but now will not run to the end. It has been stopping at various places and there is no obvious error statement to go along with it. The TS just ends. Which logs can I be looking at to figure this out? Is there a log that shows each step of the task sequence as it is being executed? I have gone through the smsts.log already but see no error, just the line

 

"Execution engine result code:2"

 

right before the final reboot and near the very bottom of the log. Also, it shows the initial statements "Parsing ..." for each line of the task sequence, but doesn't show them being executed. Any help? Anything I can throw your way to help troubleshoot?

If it is with the deployment of software, take a look at the execmgr.log

Update: The problem just sort of went away, which is somewhat scarier than having the problem in the first place. The spot where the task sequence was ending is where I am executing a script to join the machine to the domain into a specific OU. After joining the domain, the machine should reboot and continue on with the remaining steps of the TS. It doesn't. It was rebooting after the domain join and acted as if there were no more steps. Anyway, hopefully this won't pop up again.
