How can I pause a task sequence in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager ?

[vincelewin]

Is it the 401 - Unsuccessful with anonymous credentials error?

 

It is shortly followed by an attempt to use the context credentials.

 

401 - Unsuccessful with context credentials error?

But heres the error from the log I saw.

 

![LOG[Failed to execute command line 'C_SMSTaskSequencePackagesCOR0012AserviceUI.exe -processTSProgressUI.exe XWINDOWSSystem32wscript.exe pause_ts.vbs' .

are you SURE you are using the correct architecture of the serviceui.exe file ? if you took it from the wrong folder it won't work.

[vincelewin]

Hmm,

 

Its a 32bit boot image installing a 64bit OS.

 

Would I use the 32 or 64bit version?

 

I think I know what you are going to say and I think I know what I have done wrong now.

Fixed.

 

Thanks.

 

I was using the wrong version for the boot image.

I love this forum, not sure why I haven't create an account before

I followed this and it worked excellent! then I modified because I didn't want a pause, I wanted a HTA to display and I get no error, get error code 0 and all looks good except that the HTA doesn't display!

 

SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 CU2 (no MDT other than the serviceUI.exe and my HTA file in a package that this thread explain, the VBS file works to pause)

 

running: ServiceUI.exe -process:tsprogressui.exe %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\mshta.exe TEST.HTA

 

and funny enough I had the pause from this thread running so I pressed F8 and read out smst.log and got this:

If I run only mshta.exe test.hta from cmd.exe after F8 the HTA comes up perfect.

But in the TS it just parse it, as successfully but never shows it.

 

Any idea what I could be doing wrong? excuse in advance if anything important is missing then I ahppily adjust and add info

thanks!

Forgot to add that I have added HTA support to my WinPE (version 10).

[anyweb]

is this running during the windows phase or in winpe ? if you open taskmgr.exe do you see mshta.exe running as a process ?

Thanks Anyweb,

 

Running it during WinPE, actually the first thing running in the whole TS, so F12, it PXE boot and bam!

I can F8 and run tasklist but I'm afraid the HTA is no longer running since my smsts.log says exit with code 0

The HTA I used I "took" from this site: https://t3chn1ck.wordpress.com/tag/hta/

[Lethcan Aernis]

ran it again and in WinPe press F8 and then start taskmgr.exe it goes so quick but I could not see the HTA process flash by, but for PAsue vbs I see vbscript.exe (or what it is called)
