I believe I gave up on installing it through the task sequence and set it to install through other means afterwards. Can't remember if I deployed it using SCCM or Group Policy, though either would work. The install process just wouldn't work with a task sequence as mentioned above, but once removed things went back to normal. Pretty sure this is correct - can't check, however, as no longer employed at that school!

After many attempts at reimaging and looking at logs, I found the following causes of problems! Firstly the package to install dotNet v4 wasn't set up right and replacing it helped out. Secondly the msi file for Sketchup Make 2015 you can extract from the installation exe doesn't play nice with SCCM - the software needs a reboot to finish, but if you let it reboot it then cancels the task sequence and if you suppress the reboot the task sequence sits there for ages waiting for the software to report back... The main issue for me was the hard drive on the computers in question. What with setting the sccm client cache to 20gb to allow Adobe CS6 to install, along with a load of other software, the computers were running out of space. Task sequence would then fail towards the end and the computer was left with only a few mb of space available. I fixed by removing one of the larger, but not essential, software titles and using a two step process to raise the size of the sccm client cache at the start of the task sequence and then drop it back down at the end.

Bump! More info - I get failed application installation tasks when deploying task sequences to some computers; all sorts of different errors including access errors and timeouts, etc. I think the reasons given may be red herrings, however, as the same task sequences work fine on other equipment. The difference between the computers that work and don't work? Age! Or more specifically performance which is linked to age... An example would be a Toshiba Satellite Pro C660 with an original hard drive versus one with upgraded with an SSD - the latter appears to install assigned software and settings far more reliably... So, have any of you fine people encountered problems deploying tasks sequences to older clients where the client might be on the slow side, performance-wise? I'm currently struggling with some Dell Optiplex 755s that must be 6 years old and will not complete my task sequence correctly...

Hello all! I'm looking for some hints if anyone has come across this. Sometimes, not all the time, but sometimes, a computer running a task sequence will have one or more application fail to install, with the rest working fine. The error given will generally be failed to install, operating system reported error 5: access is denied. Now if it happened all the time I'd believe it was an access issue, but sometimes it works just fine. The issue does seem to predominantly affect Internet Explorer 10 as well, though this might be a red herring and just reflect the fact it's one of the first applications to be installed. Any clues? Task sequence in question installs Windows 7, joins domain, installs drivers, installs SCCM client, boosts cache size to 20gb, and sets about installing applications, some of which are targetted to specific collections through the use of custom variables.

All sorted - it seems there was an issue with the roles function on the ZoneDirector. The default role had been disassociated from all the configured WLANS, so even though the Radius server was authenticating, the ZD was denying access... Tick the box again and it starts to behave. Thanks for the support anyway, chaps!

Hello! I've got a Ruckus ZoneDirector that until today worked flawlessly with our 2012 R2 NPS server doing radius authentication. Currently I have wireless clients trying to connect and the Windows server reports access is granted, but the Ruckus server claims login failed due to no permission or incorrect credentials... Any thoughts?

Didn't get chance to update this last week, but basically you're all correct. The core switch was correctly set up, but the web filter needed routing set up to direct traffic back to the BYOD VLAN. A support call and team viewer session later and it's working nicely. Thanks for the help and suggestions!

Routing is enabled as far as I can see! But the browser just wont display a web page... Feel like I'm missing a link in the chain whereby the browser, which is configured with the web filter IP, needs a little help to connect to the web filter. From a device on the BYOD VLAN I can ping the default VLAN and do DNS look ups on Google, etc.

Hello! We have a Ruckus wifi setup, a HP 5412zl core switch and a Protex webfilter running in a VM. I am setting up BYOD and have a new VLAN for BYOD traffic; this is now working in that wireless clients can connect, pick up an IP via DHCP and can resolve addresses via DNS. They can't connect to the internet, however. Our web filter, Protex, doesn't allow transparent proxying, so I can't list it as a default gateway or anything clever. How to arrange things so that wireless BYOD clients can get on the net? Our core switch is on IP 10.103.163.1 for the default VLAN and on 172.16.0.1 for VLAN-10, the BYOD VLAN. This is the setup on the core switch: ; J8698A Configuration Editor; Created on release #K.15.06.0017 ; Ver #02:10.0d:1f hostname "HP-E5412zl" module 1 type J9534A module 2 type J9535A module 3 type J9534A module 4 type J9534A module 6 type J9637A interface F11 speed-duplex 100-full exit ip default-gateway 10.103.162.1 ip routing ip directed-broadcast ip udp-bcast-forward vlan 1 name "DEFAULT_VLAN" untagged A1-A24,B1-B24,C1-C24,D1-D24,F1-F24 ip address 10.103.163.1 255.255.254.0 exit vlan 10 name "BYOD" ip helper-address 10.103.162.6 ip address 172.16.0.1 255.255.255.0 tagged B20,C20,F4,F6,F9,F13-F22 exit console inactivity-timer 10 ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.103.162.1 snmp-server community "public" unrestricted spanning-tree no autorun no dhcp config-file-update no dhcp image-file-update password manager password operator Ip address 10.103.162.5 is the DHCP and DNS server. The web filter I want clients to go through is on IP address 10.103.163.24. Is it a case of adding another helper-address or do i need to do some routing?

Hmm... I think I did save the changes... Looks like a reboot is necessary either way, unless there are other options anyone can suggest.

I've been fiddling with our core switch, trying to work out VLANs, and I've may have configured something on our HP 5412zl switch that could cause trouble. I ran the command 'IP route 172.16.0.0/24 10.103.163.1' to set up a route but received a message along the lines of '10.103.163.1 can not be switch IP address and route gateway at the same time' I assumed this had failed to configure, but looking at the switch web interface in the configuration report, I can see it is set up. If I try to remove the route with the command 'no IP route 172.16.0.0/24 10.103.163.1' I get the same message as above, but the route isn't removed. Any ideas how to get rid or if this might cause issues if it can't be removed? FYI the core switch has the IP address of 10.103.163.1 on the default VLAN and I'm trying to set up a second VLAN for BYOD wifi devices using our Ruckus setup. The core switch has an IP for the second VLAN of 172.16.0.1

Just a quick answer, but just use %HOMESHARE%%HOMEPATH% and dispense with the \My Documents as this is redundant I believe.

Hmm.. You can manually add updates from the 'All Software Updates' list to a Software Update Group and assign that group to a Collection without downloading, but it usually does nothing... Clients in the collection will expect to get the updates from SCCM, though maybe with the alternate update source I mentioned before you could persuade them to download directly from the MS Update source online?

I don't think you would. SCCM is designed around managing deployments and updates, etc, for large enterprise environments where having a single store of update files makes a lot of sense compared to maybe a few thousand client PCs updating themselves individually with no data available on compliance. The ADR business means you can choose particular sets of updates for particular products and deploy them automatically, where the deployment process downloads them. If I remember correctly there is a client settings option to choose download locations for clients, but this is to provide a backup for clients that aren't always connected to SCCM on site; you'd still have to have the update feature setup and configured to install... Is 40gb that big of a deal to have hanging round? It is kind of handy to have a repository on hand for when a client needs it, especially as you can roll updates in to your Windows install image and add 'install updates' commands to your reimaging task sequence, however infrequent...

Has anyone played with these at all? We have some shiny new Linx 8 tablets running Win8.1 and I have them linked via InTune to our System Centre Config Manager instance, but whilst I can see data transferring from the client device to SCCM, the tablet doesn't seem to have installed the Endpoint Protection anti-virus product. I've read that it can be installed and managed through InTune, but if it doesn't install automatically, I'm not sure how its done as there don't seem to be many guides available... Any clues?
