How to monitor status of deployment

[tommy]

Hi.

I´m working on deploying software from command line/script with my sccm 2007 setup.

 

I´m still new with SCCM, so I’m seeking a bit of help.

My case is that I will deploy application A, and when it’s done I will deploy application B.

I will do this by adding the servers to different collection (one for each application).

My script looks like this: (based on WMI/vbscript)

Call Installapp (application A)

Loop until deployment of Application A is done. (log if error)

Call Installapp (application

Loop until deployment of Application B is done. (log if error)

 

Can someone help me doing this check? I mean, check the status of the deployment process through sccm. I want my script to wait until the application is installed before moving on with the next.

Exsamples, comments etc.

 

Thanks.

If you are advertising to computers you can just use a Task Sequence to install the software.

Or just select Run another program first in the properties of application b.

Hi.

 

Thanks for your comment.

My situation is that aplication B is a office language pack, and i have 8 different versions of this. Not the same should be used everytime.

Thats why i want some kind of logging to check and make sure that the first application has been successful installed before moving on.

Just create 2 custom collections for each language pack you want to deploy. The first one should hold the client names. In the second one create a query for the installed software, in your case Office XX, and link the query to the first collection.

After your office installation force a hardware inventory on your client, so the second collection is going to be filled.
