I need to deploy an upgrade for hundreds of machines. A clean install is preferred over a customized package. So the source setup is used without making any changes.It took a considerable amount of time to make the upgrade work.However it works only when the option ' Run with user rights' is selected and with the admin rights provided for that particular account.It fails with the system account. I was able to eventually make it work only with the below conditions
1) Run with user rights in program properties
2) Give Admin rights to the test account
3) If i put XYZ.exe /S in the command line it fails. So i had to put the content inside a folder called X. The data source in the package properties has \\servername\PackageID\Application name. The X folder is in \\servername\PackageID\Application name\X. The command line is X\xyz.exe.
Point 1 and Point 3 are OK. But Point 2 is impossible as it is difficult to do for hundreds of users.
I thought of using ' Run command line ' in the TS. I tried a domain account for 'run this step as the following account'. What should i put in the command line and in 'Start in' ? I am not able to proceed and getting errors. I need to replicate the scenario in the task sequence so that i can take care of all the three points. Is this possible ? Looking forward for the answers from the experts...thanks
