We have a problem that Run Advertised Programs is empty on some of our computers. We use the same task sequence on all of our machines, and on most of them it works fine, but on occations the Run Advertised Programs is empty, and the computer does not install any programs. We have several programs assigned to all computers, some mandatory and other optional. When I first check the Configuration manger on these machines, the actions tab only display 4 actions: Machine Policy, Software Updates, Deployment, Software Updates Scan and User Policy Retrieval. After running the Machine policy a few times the other Actions usually get available, but Run Advertised Programs is still blank.
When I check execmgr.log, I see that the policies for the different advertisements are listed
Policy arrived for parent package x program xxx
<snip>
Successfully submitted event to the Status Agent.
The strange thing is that I do get the Run Advertised program icon in Systray and on mouseover I get a popup saying "A new program is available to be run" but Run Advertised Programs is gray with the text "No programs are available on the network" and the mandatory programs are not being installed.
The machine looks normal from SCCM, and I get access to the event logs on the machine etc. There are no errors in the clientlocation.log on the client.
If I reinstall the computer, the problem is usually fixed (same user, same hardware, same machine name, same OS Task sequence).
I would be grateful if anyone has any hints and tips on how to resolve this.
