ThomasC Posted July 18, 2013 Report post Posted July 18, 2013 Dear W-N community, We recently installed SCCM 2012 SP1 for one of our clients. It is working fine except some little glitchs like this one: They use to uninstall all softwares when an employee leave the company to save licenses but the computer stays at the working place with only Windows installed. When the new employee come, they install (or reinstall) remotely all softwares that he will need. The OS is not reinstalled, computername does not change, etc... for all softwares, there is 1 application, 1 deployment type (with the msi install and uninstall command lines configured), and 2 deployments (one Install + Required, the other Uninstall + Required) The first installation and uninsatllation of the software work fine, but when we reinstall the software for the 2nd time on a same computer (when a new employee begins) the Deployment Status is "Success" after only 3 seconds even if the software has not yet been re-installed. It seems that SCCM remembers the first deployment and says "it's successfully installed" even if nothing happened, even not the Application Deployment Evaluation Cycle on the client... Then the installation is done correctly after few hours (depends on the client settings), but the state was allways "success", not in progress of failed. The main problem with this is if it fails at the 2nd installation, will it be reported as Success or Failed?? Is there a Maintenance Task that I could enable to clean old deployment data sothat the 2nd deployment is taken like if it was the first? Is there another way to manage this kind of re-installation? best practice etc? Many thanks to all for your contribution.
