Leethenewf Posted December 14, 2012 Report post Posted December 14, 2012 We just switched to 2012 and are still working out the bugs. Most everything seems to be working well, except that the software packages seem to be installing very slowly. The image applys easily, any Applications (msi) I have installs easily, but any Packages (exe) I created seems to take a very long time. Any thoughts as to why?

Peter33 Posted December 14, 2012 Report post Posted December 14, 2012 If your are talking about OSD, yes applications apply very slow, because the task sequence policies will be compiled before the execution of every single application. This is addressed to be fixed with SP1. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leethenewf Posted December 14, 2012 Report post Posted December 14, 2012 Yes, during OSD, the image will apply and the half dozen Applications (msi) will apply in about 40 mins total, then about a half a dozen packages (exe) will take over 2 hours. Can that be right??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter33 Posted December 14, 2012 Report post Posted December 14, 2012 Yep, our current TS takes lie 60-90 minutes depending on the chosen options. Unfortunately. I'm counting the days until SP1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Man Posted December 14, 2012 Report post Posted December 14, 2012 then about a half a dozen packages (exe) will take over 2 hours. Can that be right??? Sounds a bit too long for 6 packages.......all my current production setups at present are using the package model as I did not have much experience with the application model until recently, but 2 hours for 6 packages definitely does not sound right. What are the packages? Are you downloading them 1st before running? In my larger Task sequences I could have as many as 20+ packages the larger ones been VS2010 and CS6 along with office 2010/2013 and usual packages such as java, adobes and others and to install the full task sequnece including OS/drivers from start to finish may take upto 50-60 mins max ....and some of my networks are only running at fast ethernet speeds.

docholiday3810 Posted December 15, 2012 Report post Posted December 15, 2012 Hello Forum. I am a System Engineer working on a very big migration. I have 38 sites that are set up as DP’s and we are rolling out the images to these units. The download time is not bad. I wouold say around 20 minutes for the download to 20 machines. CPU at 55% util and network at 65%. I want to be doing 100 at a time is this doable? It takes around two and a half hours to complete the refresh. From past experience I know WDS is much faster. Now I am doing around 200 machines in three days where with WDS I could do that in afternoon. The wim file is around 14 gig that I am using. What has been the experience of other when using SCCM and OSD? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leethenewf Posted December 17, 2012 Report post Posted December 17, 2012 I am installing a 10 gb image, with applications Office 2010 Pro, Photostory and and google sketchup, and that runs fast. Like I said they are in the application sections running with msi's. The problem seems to be any software I need to install as a package using the exe's. Those would include Lexia 9, Read and Write gold 10, Adobe reader 11 and a couple msu updates. The image and msi's will download and install within 30 mins, which I am happy with. The exe's take forever, 2 hoours has been the miniumum. It just seems to sit there, and eventually installs. Evereything seems correct, all on the same distribution site, but maybe I am missing something. Is there any log that will tell me which applications are taking what time to install, or where they are actually coming from?

Kingen Posted December 18, 2012 Report post Posted December 18, 2012 Just re-create the exe/packages to MSI with some tool like WinInstall LE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
