Oracle VM VirtualBox SCCM Deployment

[exhaustedittech]

Hey guys!

 

I'm back in the forums asking more dummy questions

 

I'm trying to install virtualbox via sccm. I've managed to extract the msi, and I have ran the msi with both quiet and passive switches, but the program keeps failing to install!

 

Does anyone have virtualbox in sccm currently and, if so, can you save me from this hell of not being able to deploy it?

 

Thank you so much <3

Hi,

 

Ours is a two-stepper - Virtualbox's install is msiexec /i "VirtualBox-5.2.12-r122591-MultiArch_amd64.msi" /q /norestart /log c:\logs\virtualbox.log and the certificates required for driver installation is certutil -addstore "TrustedPublisher" \\shareserver\share\VirtualBox 5.1\oracleUSB.cer

I'm probably being really thick, but how did you push your certs? I take it you're doing a task seq for virtualbox?

(sorry if these are stupid questions, I'm pretty new to sccm)

Yes sorry it's a task sequence, our SCCM is merged with MDT so we might have a few extra niceties but from what I remember you should be able to do this too. Add the certs as a dependency of VirtualBox to make it seamless.

So, one final time for my puny brain:

 

1. In terms of adding the cert, you're adding as a dependency to virtualbox (so im assuming then that virtualbox is being assembled as an app?)? But for me I can only add apps as dependencies. Does that mean you've added the cert as an app?

Also, how come you're then using a task sequence if the cert is being added as a dependency? How come you need a task sequence for that?

Sorry, getting myself mixed up a little - we used to use SCCM and now just use MDT/PDQ for deployment, although still have SCCM in place. I suspect when we had it with SCCM we deployed the certificates using GPO instead.

That's alright! Finally it deployed today Thank you so much for your help syn
