Install Applications in Task Sequence Failing

[Smezzer]

Hi

 

I have set up an SCCM 2012 RTM environment all is working really well but I am having a problem installing applications within the Task Sequence.

 

I have a windows 7 image which installs fine and it connects to our domain. The SCCM client installs and the run command line script to rename the computer is also working, but when It gets to the Install Applications no applications are actually installing. below is an extract from the SMSTS.log

Exhausted retry attempts. Giving up.

Step 2 out of 2 complete InstallApplication 12/07/2012 15:18:00 1688 (0x0698)

Install application action failed: 'Lync 32 Bit'. Error Code 0x80004005 InstallApplication 12/07/2012 15:18:00 1688 (0x0698)

Sending error status message InstallApplication 12/07/2012 15:18:00 1688 (0x0698)

 

These applications install fine through the application catalogue and I have made sure there is no problems with access to the share.

 

If anyone has encountered this problem and can let me know what i am missing I would be most grateful

 

Thanks

What do the appenforce.log and appdiscovery.log say on the client?

[Smezzer]

I have just Checked and I do not have either of these logs on my client

[Iroqouiz]

Have you made sure the application is allowed to be installed via a TS?

 

[Smezzer]

Yes I have ticked the "Allow this application be installed from the Install Application task sequence action instead of deploying it manually"

[Iroqouiz]

Ok. Haven't had any issues with this myself until just now! Quite annoying. Perhaps someone else has a suggestion as to what to do? Google doesn't give me much.

In my case it wasn't my TS that was the problem, it was my virtual machines. Somehow all of them seems to have gotten corrupt. Tried my TS on a physical computer and that worked like a charm. Created a new VM and the TS worked fine on that also.

 

Don't know how your lab is set up, but maybe worth trying your TS on another machine, if you haven't already.

No i have tried it on several laptops now with the same results - I am just about to build a new environment so will see if I have the same problem when I do the TS
