install special Application :-/

[leusa]

Hello there

I have a self made Application, that i have to install on around 100 Clients. It is our main App and it is importend that we can install it via SCCM Tasksequence

Installationroutin:

1. we have to "log in" as a special User (for example Domain Admin)

2. is the user loged in the setup.exe have to run as this Account (in Landesk the option calls "install as current User")

--> the installation have to be installed "on Screen"

 

many thanks for your help.

Does the application which you have made have any install commands? Like "/S" or "-silent", or something similar?

You could deploy it using Applications, rather than TaskSequences, and deploy it to a user group which you create just for Admins within SCCM?

 

Hope that makes sense, and I also hope it's the kind of answer you're looking for.

Hello Phil

Thank you for your answer.

I made a Package that starts a install.cmd like this:

@echo off

rem Install ABC
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"%~dp0setup.exe" /s "%Systemroot%\Logs\ABCinstall.log"

rem set ODBC Connection
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
msiexec.exe /i "%~dp0ABC_ODBC.msi" /quiet /norestart

rem Change codepage
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
chcp 1252>nul

rem Create shortcut
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

if exist "%ProgramFiles(X86)%" goto X86
copy /y "%~dp0abc.lnk" "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"
rem rmdir /s /q "%allusersprofile%\Startmenü\Programme\abc"
goto weiter

:X86
copy /y "%~dp0abc.lnk" "%public%\Desktop"
rmdir /s /q "%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\abc"

:weiter

rem register mscal.ocx / msinet.ocx
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
regsvr32 /s %windir%\SysWOW64\MSCAL.OCX
copy /y "%~dp0PGVFix\MSINET.OCX" %windir%\SysWOW64
regsvr32 /s %windir%\SysWOW64\MSINET.OCX

rem set registry rights
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"%~dp0SetACL.exe" -on "hklm\Software\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBC.INI" -ot reg -actn ace -ace "n:Domain\domänen-benutzer;p:full"

rem Change codepage
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
chcp 850>nul

rem set errorlevel to 0
rem ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
rem exit /B 0

 

this script starts first the Setup.exe and for this setup a special domain User have to be loged in (Maybe autologon first)

in our old deployment system the First Step is to run this script with a current User

As second step the MSI will start. this should be fine

 

After this script the following Reg Key is set:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"AutoAdminLogon"="1"
"AutoLogonCount"="20"
"DefaultDomainName"=""
"DefaultUserName"="administrator"
"DefaultPassword"="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

 

next step is a reboot

and and and :-)

 

I think thats all informations that the appliction needs to install

Hi Sascha,

 

I would add the .cmd file to your SCCM console through the "Applications" area. Add it as a Script Installer (normally this will allow for .exe files, but when you search for the .cmd file, switch the file types to "All Files" rather than "Executable".

 

 

I can explain that in more detail if you wish.

 

Once you've done that, you could use the SysInternals system for the AutoLogon (but it is a permenant thing until you turn it off).

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/bb963905

 

You could then create a user group within SCCM and add the user(s) in question to the group. Then deploy the application to that group and make it a required install. Each time the user in question logs on, it will install (or try at least), until you cancel the deployment, or if you have set a rule to detect the application, it will check that first and then decide whether or not the PC you've just logged in to needs it or not.

 

I hope this is the kind of thing you're after.

Hi Sascha,

 

Sorry for my late reply!

Is this still something you are having trouble with? Or have you managed to solve it?
