interesting we havn't seen it yet, what hardware/model are you seeing the problem on ?

thanks but haven't you seen this mini series ??

hi Craig you should be very careful with required task sequences and instead of limiting to All Systems, make it much safer, for example limit it to All Dell 3620 precisions, or some other small subset of computers, that way if you make a mistake with a query, only those computers will be affected, by limiting to All Systems, if you make a query mistake in that collection and it add's say... All Systems (select * from sms...) then you have just wiped out your entire organization including servers with that required task sequence, secondly, check that the computer you are testing in, is in the collection that is targeted with the task sequence thirdly, is the task sequence deployed to Only Configuration Manager clients, or PXE or something else ? if you want the required ts to start in Windows then you need it to be made available to Only Configuration Manager Clients... cheers niall

looks like folders created when Windows Update(s) are being applied, so how are you managing updates on this server ?

it's failing to talk to the USMT State Migration Point, is that configured ? <![LOG[Error.

it's failing to install the apps, check your appenforce.log to see what it says

can you attach the smsts*.log (zip them up)

the error means Required management point not found Source: System Center Configuration Manager ----- are you specifying something in relation to MP in the setup windows and configmgr step (in installation properties) ? what do the App*.log files reveal ?

did you look at the youtube video showing you how to test this ? here it is

I would raise a call to Microsoft CSS, they should be able to fix it for you, if not, have you a backup of the site taken prior to the failed upgrade ?

great stuff glad to hear it

yup works ok for me, so before we go any further, can you explain where you got the error's you posted, and what happens when you run the code pasted directly above this reply on that machine (and not in the task sequence), does it produce an error, or not, or, do you only see an error when you run the script via the task sequence

it's copied from the package source in the CCMCache or direct from the dp, what issues does this particular computer have ? bad battery ? can't you replace it with a new battery

I can't see that you can use it if it produces errors when run during the task sequence, how can it set the variable if it doesn't work, do you see my point ? if I was using a script to set a variable i'd add a logging function to see where it's failing, below is an example function Function LogWrite { Param ([string]$logstring) $a = Get-Date $logstring = $a,$logstring Try { Add-content $Logfile -value $logstring -ErrorAction silentlycontinue } Catch { $logstring="Invalid data encountered" Add-content $Logfile -value $logstring } write-host $logstring } # script starts here $Logfile = "C:\Windows\temp\logfile.log" so for each action in your script use LogWrite "about to do... whatever" so you can see where it fails... once you fix the script, then you can use the variable in the task sequence

what does awebsvcMSI.log.LastError tell you ?

the test domain in Azure doesn't matter, does your autopilot company branding appear during OOBE, if not, something is not right...

but you pasted above that it's producing an error on line 7 ?

is windows deployment services service running ?

so you are running an English PowerShell script on a French OS ? that might be part of your problem, "ASSOCIATORS OF" might be something else in French..just a thought have you actually tried running this script on that computer without running it in the task sequence, (New-Object -COMObject Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment).Value('OSDDiskIndex') = $MonDisk.Disk }" will fail as no task sequence is running but if your script works (and i'm not sure it is working), then you should get some valid output

the first thing i'd say is why 2 disks ? and, when you say it's not working efficiently, can you explain what is not working exactly ? what errors are you seeing, and can you zip up and attach the smsts.log ?

i'd suggest the Dell WinPE driver cab, if you look at the smsprov.log around the time of the failure, does it reveal the problem ?

it's just a popup, you can move it anywhere on the screen and use Windows File Explorer to free up space on C:\, have you tried that ?

thanks for the comments and i'll consider that for the next time I update that script, they do take a lot of time to test and produce, but i'll definitely give it a try

thanks for this addition, great idea and i'll try and incorporate it into a later version

yup that's the current design, the idea is that the user should free up some space, after which it will continue.... do you think it should do something else, if so what ?
