Clients stop downloading package and have BIT.TMP files in cache

$

0

I am having an issue with package distribution to sccm clients where clients stop downloading the package without any errors or warnings. and report a waiting on contents status.

 

Initially, I noticed the issue when deploying Office 2007 to clients where I setup the advertisement for that package to start at an earlier time than the mandatory time to precache the contents.  Monitoring the advertisement status report, I noticed 10% of the clients show waiting on contents status, did random spot check, and the package folder in the cache was either there with no files just folder structure, or it had BIT.TMP files. 

The DatatransferService.log, ContentTransferManager.log, CAS, Exec, and the package/advert related log files didn't have any errors

 

On few clients, restarting the SMS Host service did the trick and triggered the download again, on others that didn't work; however, going to run advertised programs and manually selecting and running the program fixed the issue, on a third small group, reinstalling the client made it work.

 

The assumption was, the package was too big, and network hick up might have caused that to occur, or IIS on the DPs had issues and was interrupted, or the client had bad BITS install and failed downloading this large package.  Later on, I found that this occurs with every deployment, small and large, and regardless of the way the advertisement is set up.

 

Any suggestions or assistance is very appreciated

Advertisements do not run on computers where DST is ignored

Here’s an SCCM advertisement scheduling gotcha…

 

Some control room computers have the box shown below unchecked.  The result is that they stay on standard time year-round.

Date and Time Properties -> Time Zone -> “Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes” is unchecked.

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\TimeZoneInformation\[DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet] = 1

 

Consider the scenario where you create an SCCM advertisement at 2:00pm.  One of these control room PCs receives the advertisement at 2:15pm, but according to its own clock, it is only 1:15pm.  Execmgr.log shows the following messages:

 

CSoftwareDistPolicyMgr - Policy for (<AdvID> <AdvName> <PkgID>) is not being offered yet or is expired

Could not find the policy in WMI for package <PkgID> program <programname>

The WMI query for CCM_DeletedPolicy did not return any objects

 

You would think that everything should be OK after the clock on this PC catches up to the advertisement start time.   However, these PCs never process this advertisement, even after 1 hour has elapsed.  The only way to get these PCs to run it is to re-create the advertisement, or de-install/re-install the SCCM client.

 

Suggested actions: When creating an advertisement, target it at the NULL collection for an hour, then re-target it at the full-scale collection.  Or you can backdate the “Mandatory Start Time” and “Mandatory Assignment” time by 1 hour.

Deployed Package Execution - Is there a way to execute a package a host has remotely through the client?

If I have an Program/Package deployed to clients so they can manually run it as needed, is there a way I can remote execute that package on the targeted machine locally (but programattically) instead of having to interface with the SCCM server?  Like, through a WMI class or something?  Thanks.

Auto-deploy software to new computers

Hi,

I am trying to create a collection that will contain a list of new computers which does not have specific software installed. I found a few posts that say how to create a collection which lists all computers that do not have a software installed. The problem is, those queries are not displaying correct results.

For example, When I search for all computers that have Lync installed, i get very few results (20 out of 2000) which is wrong. Below is the query:

select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS on SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName = "Microsoft Lync 2010"

When I run the below query in SQL, I get >1900 which is close to accurate.

Select P.DisplayName0, P.Publisher0, P.Version0, s.Name0 From v_Add_Remove_Programs P Join v_R_System S on P.ResourceId = S.ResourceId Where p.DisplayName0 like '%Lync%'

What I'm trying to do:

1. I need to fix this so I get the accurate count of computers that have Lync installed.

2. I need to add a Not In to this to find out the computers that do not have Lync installed.

My aim is to make sure all new/old computers that don't have this software should get this advertisement.

3 days ago our SCCM 2007 was able to update the DP with new content or updated content.  Now, it can't.  I've rebooted the server and it still can't update any DP.   In the pkginfo.box there are a lot of files PKG and NAL files.  Can you delete them or will that cause problems?

I am trying to install a software via task sequence.  I verified all the permissions are correct and the allow to be installed.... is checked.  The package was working fine in the past but now I am constantly getting the error above.  The other command lines run great before and after the software portion on the TS but the software always fails.  Here is the exemgr log. Can someone offer some insight on what I am missing.

Help with Task Sequence to Deploy software that has prerequisites

I have created a task sequence to deploy my software as it needs to have c++ and msxml installed first so I created a collection with my test VM and set a advertisement to deploy as soon as possible but nothing is happening.

I have been through the logs on the VM but can't see anything to say that it even hit the VM so was wondering if there was somewhere that I can see on the server why it is not deploying?

software packages are not distribution to a SCCM 2007 secondary site - not decompressing

Hello,

I have a secondary site in my SCCM 2007 which is not de-cpompressing packages.

the packages are coming down to the 'SMSPKG' folder as .pkg files, but it is not de-compressing into the SMSPKGS$ folder.

I updates one of the smaller packages to re-push the package down and this is what I have seen in the despool.log on the child site

This is happening for all packages on this child site so its not really package related, please could someone provide some insight to what I can do to fix this.

thanks

.iss answer file not working with deployment

$
0
0

I have a number of InstallShield executables which have answer files generated for deployment via SCCM2007. Unfortunately the deployment doesn't work. It launches the exe then does nothing and eventually times out. Normally I'd finger the .iss file as badly set up, but it applies correctly when the exe is manually launched, including launching with SYSTEM account from the local CCM Cache.

I've tried several variations on the launch the latest being: %~dp0appname\setup /s /a /s /sms /f1"%~dp0appname\setup.iss"

also %~dp0appname\setup /s

%~dp0centerpoint\setup /s /f1"%~dp0centerpoint\setup.iss"

and others from various net articles, but the result is always the same

Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

Update Distribution Points & Install pending

$

Hello All,

I created several Packages and tried to deploy them and they sit with install pending in the state field.  I also tried updating a Operating System Image and that is also install pending.  I have rebooted the server several times with no change.

The distmgr.log keeps freezing, when I restart the log will run for a while but show nothing useful.  The sender.log shows no packages.  I have tried a lot of the install pending suggestions but no help.

Any ideas?  Thanks

Setting High Priority for BITS Traffic - Software Distribution

$

I'm trying to figure out how I can set SCCM clients to download software from DP's using  BITS high priority. We currently have a GPO for BITS that sets different rates depending on low/normal/high priority. I've set the package to high priority in SCCM but I don't think that affects client BITS job. Has anyone done this?

Integrity check

Hi all,

A very basic question, but unfortunately I was unable to find any info on this on the SCCM description pages. I'm guessing the answer is 'yes', but I would like some confirmation:

Does SCCM perform integrity checks on the software before installing?

Thank you!

TS if software exist then skip

I am installing some software that requires "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable" however I was trying to skip this if it was already installed.

I tried to add an "if" statement based on if the reg key exist in SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall but the GUID changes depending on what update is installed (also that was just for x64).

Is there a way to see if "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable%" is in add\remove and skip if found?

Forgot to say that I tried the following but don't think it is working on x64 machines (still testing)

select * from Win32Reg_AddRemovePrograms where DisplayName = 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable -x86'



Task Sequence Command Line to Unregister DLL Not Working...Won't Run As Administrator

$

Hi All,

I'm trying to unregister a dll by creating a Custom Task Sequence using the command line "%SystemRoot%\System32\regsvr32.exe" /s -u "%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\VGX\vgx.dll"

SCCM is reporting success, however the DLL isn't being unregistered on the client machines.  If I manually run the command on a client machine as administrator it works.  I have specified that same administrative user in the Custom Task Sequence.  These are Windows 7 machines, so my hunch is it has something to do with UAC, but I'm kind of stumped what to do here but feel like I'm missing something obvious.

Thanks!

For .exe's and .msis with no silent option install

When packaging and installing executables and msi's with no silent install option, is the only recourse to enable interactive installation, or is there any other way to have it install, perhaps with defaults (next, next, finish etc.).

Thank you

crashdumps log files keep generating

Hi all,

 

We currently have a weird problem with our SCCM. 

There is a folder  D:\SCCM BakUP\HKGBackup\SiteServer\SMSServer\Logs\CrashDumps 

It creates 60+GB logs each day for no reason. We have not made any changes to SCCM configuration recently.

 I have tried to  removed those logs but they keep coming back…and some of the logs are dated back to June, 2011..

 How can I stop the logs generating?

 

Please help.

SCCM 2007 R2 Program Re-run Behavior

$

I have read the below post on program behavior, but it doesn't cover what I need:

http:// blogs.catapultsystems.com/jsandys/archive/2011/04/05/configmgr-program-rerun-behavior.aspx

(Sorry, I'm too new to have links in the post I guess)

My question is based on these knowns: An SCCM maintenance task removes a computer account from the db due to inactivity, then the system comes back online and is re-added to SCCM,  the system is automatically re-added to a collection, the collection has an advertisement pointed at it and is set to "re-run if previously failed" daily.

Given that the advertisement successfully ran on the system before it was removed, will the advertisement run again or will the system ignore it?

SCCM RAP contains applications, which we can install manually ,how long they remains in RAP

$

we are creating mandatory advertisements with

1. schedule mandatory assignment As soon as possible with deadline never expire.

2 program rerun behaviour always rerun and sometimes rerun if previous attempt failed

3 we are selecting in interaction tab allow users to run the program independent of assignment

now my question is once the program is installed , it will remain in RAP or after installation it will vanish from RAP.
