Revit 2020 Deployment

[mullet_man]

Hi all,

 

Does anyone know how best to deploy Revit with SCCM?

 

Do I use the setup.exe and a command line or create a deployment via the setup.exe and then use the setup.exe that comes from that deployment share? This way seems to want to copy all the files to a network share, which now am typing I assume would be the best option and maybe create a batch file that SCCM uses to pull the files from the share rather than to download them to every machine individually and run the setup locally?

 

Thanks!

I am doing this right now but it is failing to install every time so far even directly running the installer on a machine.

 

The way I have done it for Autocad that does work is Use the setup to create a deployment.

 

The basic steps are:

 

1. In your SCCM apps folder, create a new folder for revit

2. Run the setup, Create deployment

3. Enter the name you want, point the image path to the folder you just created, run the install in silent. I untick both log files.

4. Enter your key

5. On SCCM create a new package for revit, point the source folder to the one you created, use a standard program.

6. In the revit folder you created go into SMS_SCCM scripts, Open the SCCM.txt file and copy the section that looks like this (.\Img\Setup.exe /W /q /I Img\AutoDesk Revit 2020 V1.ini /language en-us) into the command line box.

7. Run hidden and with or without a user logged on

Thanks - I tried it this way and it did seem to try and install but then seemed to rollback.

 

If I replace the .\img with my \\server\share$\autodesk\ it seems to work fine!

 

Thanks for your help!

I'm having a similar problem with AutoCAD 2020. I include it in the OSD task sequence, along with other CAD packages, but AutoCAD fails to install. This means that I have to deploy the application separately, but it still fails.

 

At the start of installation, in Task Manager > Details you will see 'ADSK Licence Manager Installer' hangs and you have to end the process, you sometimes need to do this a few times and reboot a couple of times before it runs the installation properly. When you see 'ADSKLicensingService.exe' running, then you know it's moving onto the next phase of install.

 

For me, this only seems to be happening on the new SSD equipped PCs and laptops, the older hardware installs normally. I came here hoping for some guidance, but it looks like I need to log this with Autodesk, I hope the above is of some help.
