SCCM - Java Deployment

[Geoff]

I have the 64bit + 32bit Java MSI's setup as Applications in SCCM 2012 R2. These deploy to collections just fine.

I have also got a Package that is basically a batch file that removes all the old java versions and java update check using msiexec commands and the installer id. This doesn't seem to be working at the moment.

 

What I want to do is group these together logically and deploy them to a collection together, rather than in three separate operations. I'm a little unclear the best way to do this. Dependancies? or a Task Sqeuence?

If you have the hardware inventory enabled. You should be able to find out which versions of Java are installed across your network. Then download each version add to sccm. On the latest version under supercedance add the old Java versions. Send the old versions to uninstall. When you deploy the new vwrsion. The older versions will be uninstalled.

I use PSADT to do everything you have mentioned in a single SCCM application.

 

I can post my script if you want?

[Geoff]

That would be massively helpful @Arthur

We do it just with a BAT which I know isn't as shiny but still works if you want another option, random example:

 

Start /wait msiexec.exe /x {26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F83218025F0} /qn /norestart
Start /wait msiexec.exe /x {26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F83218045F0} /qn /norestart
Start /wait msiexec.exe /x {26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F83218065F0} /qn /norestart

msiexec /i jre1.8.0_73.msi JU=0 JAVAUPDATE=0 AUTOUPDATECHECK=0 RebootYesNo=No WEB_JAVA=1 /q

 

Or a fuller option if you need to fix the old settings config files (If using the exe not msi) etc but only need it done once and not every update:

 

Start /wait msiexec.exe /x {26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F03217060FF} /qn /norestart
Start /wait msiexec.exe /x {26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F83218025F0} /qn /norestart
Start /wait msiexec.exe /x {26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F83218045F0} /qn /norestart

MD C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java

COPY "%~dp0java.settings.cfg" "C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\java.settings.cfg" /Y 

"%~dp0jre-8u65-windows-i586.exe" INSTALL_SILENT=1 STATIC=0 AUTO_UPDATE=0 WEB_JAVA=1 WEB_ANALYTICS=0 EULA=0 REBOOT=0

reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v SunJavaUpdateSched /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy" /v EnableJavaUpdate /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

 

Just put the old version IDs in depending what you have deployed etc.

When I tried this I seemed to have problems with the files being locked and there for the uninstall failed to complete. This was being done via SCCM and I couldn't see anywhere where it could be set to log off/Shutdown. It worked for some systems but now all.

[free780]

You can set to when it's logged off. Or set a requirement that Java.exe isn't a running process.

Here it is...

Place the two Java MSIs inside the Files folder. Read the ReadMe.txt first though.

 

If required, see pages 25-31 of the PSAppDeploymentToolkitAdminGuide (included in download above) on how to add the script to SCCM as an Application.

 

The installation and uninstallation commands are:

 

Deploy-Application.exe Install
Deploy-Application.exe Uninstall

 

When I deploy Java with SCCM I just set it to deploy while no one is logged on.

I had to tweak for JRE v8 u101 but otherwise it seems to of deployed ok on a clean Win 7 64bit machine. I need to test it on a 'messy'' machine and with Win 10 LTSB but it seems the best way of doing things. Thanks @Arthur

Updated for JRE8 v111 with no issue. I've also genereated some reports to keep an eye on things using report builder and email subscriptions. If you want to do this too you'll need an SQL query. Here's what I'm using:

 

select  distinct 
SMS_R_System.Name0 as 'Computer Name',
SMS_R_System.AD_Site_Name0 as 'AD Site',
SMS_R_System.SMS_Unique_Identifier0 as 'SMS ID',
SMS_R_System.Resource_Domain_OR_Workgr0 as 'Domain',
CASE
	When SMS_R_System.Client0 = 1 
		then 'Yes'
		else 'No'
END as Client,
__System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS0.DisplayName00 as 'Program Display Name',
__System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS0.Version00 as 'Program Version'
from vSMS_R_System AS SMS_R_System 
INNER JOIN Add_Remove_Programs_DATA AS __System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS0 ON __System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS0.MachineID = SMS_R_System.ItemKey   
where 
(
	__System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS0.DisplayName00 like 'Java _ Update %'
AND __System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS0.Version00 NOT IN
	(
		select distinct top 1 Version00 from Add_Remove_Programs_DATA
		where DisplayName00 like 'Java _ Update %'
		order by Version00 desc
	)
) 
union
select  distinct 
SMS_R_System.Name0 as 'Computer Name',
SMS_R_System.AD_Site_Name0 as 'AD Site',
SMS_R_System.SMS_Unique_Identifier0 as 'SMS ID',
SMS_R_System.Resource_Domain_OR_Workgr0 as 'Domain',
CASE
	When SMS_R_System.Client0 = 1 
		then 'Yes'
		else 'No'
END as Client,
__System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS0.DisplayName00 as 'Program Display Name',
__System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS0.Version00 as 'Program Version'
from vSMS_R_System AS SMS_R_System 
INNER JOIN Add_Remove_Programs_64_DATA AS __System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS0 ON __System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS0.MachineID = SMS_R_System.ItemKey   
where 
(
	__System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS0.DisplayName00 like 'Java _ Update %'
AND __System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS0.Version00 NOT IN 
	(
		select distinct top 1 Version00 from Add_Remove_Programs_64_DATA
		where DisplayName00 like 'Java _ Update %'
		order by Version00 desc
	)
) 
order by SMS_R_System.AD_Site_Name0,__System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS0.Version00 asc

 

It'll check for the latest version of Java (both 64bit and 32bit) and compare the version against all your machines with Java installed and give you a list of machine + site + java version installed. You can do lots of fun things in reporting to make this info look pretty. I just went with a per site summary and a machine list in the end.

Above code has a bug in the version number comparison sub query. I fixed it and here's the update.

 

Use CM_F01
select  distinct 
SMS_R_System.Name0 as 'Computer Name',
SMS_R_System.AD_Site_Name0 as 'AD Site',
SMS_R_System.SMS_Unique_Identifier0 as 'SMS ID',
SMS_R_System.Resource_Domain_OR_Workgr0 as 'Domain',
CASE
	When SMS_R_System.Client0 = 1 
		then 'Yes'
		else 'No'
END as Client,
__System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS0.DisplayName00 as 'Program Display Name',
__System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS0.Version00 as 'Program Version'
from vSMS_R_System AS SMS_R_System 
INNER JOIN Add_Remove_Programs_DATA AS __System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS0 ON __System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS0.MachineID = SMS_R_System.ItemKey   
where 
(
	__System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS0.DisplayName00 like 'Java _ Update %'
AND cast('/' + Version00 + '/' as hierarchyid) NOT IN
	(
		select distinct top 1 cast('/' + Version00 + '/' as hierarchyid) from Add_Remove_Programs_DATA
		where DisplayName00 like 'Java _ Update %'
		order by cast('/' + Version00 + '/' as hierarchyid) desc
	)
) 
union
select  distinct 
SMS_R_System.Name0 as 'Computer Name',
SMS_R_System.AD_Site_Name0 as 'AD Site',
SMS_R_System.SMS_Unique_Identifier0 as 'SMS ID',
SMS_R_System.Resource_Domain_OR_Workgr0 as 'Domain',
CASE
	When SMS_R_System.Client0 = 1 
		then 'Yes'
		else 'No'
END as Client,
__System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS0.DisplayName00 as 'Program Display Name',
