SCCM Strange issue

[neonetman]

I'm having an issue with building a machine using a task sequence in SCCM..

 

The task sequece runs prepares the disk, installs and configure Windows, and then on a particular piece of software, would sit on installing it forever. I've tried disabling that piece of software, and it now does it on the next in sequnce instead.

 

I then tried adding a reboot after the previous piece of software, and this has not resolved it either.

 

As there're nothing in the SCCM log to indicate any error, I'm at a bit of a loss. Can anyone help?

Does the software work if you deploy it separate to the task sequence? So as a normal deployment after the machines built I mean

 

Could be so many things would be good to narrow down if its the task sequence or the software that's upsetting it

If I disable the piece of software it hangs on, it then hangs on the next piece of software in the sequence, which would suggest it's not that piece of software. The software does deploy individually without an issue

[Steve21]

And the applications and source are set to allow the task sequence account to access them? No permissions etc blocking it? (It won't run as the normal local system one in task sequence)

 

When the task sequence is running if you hit F8 you should be able to get into cmtrace and view the logs to see what it's trying to run command line wise.

Have you ticked "Allow this application to be installed from the Install Application task sequence action without being deployed" under the applications properties. Also is it set to deploy to system and not user.

What is being deployed just before the hang? How many installs are there previous to the hang?

 

You could try disabling the previous package instead - and see what that does.

You might need to add a restart step before installing the applications.
