Couple of ways.. one is the VBS/CMD way you already mentioned...
I'd go with this:
First, patch the MSI with MSP before the deployment, this way you don't have to deploy the MSP separately. This can be done as follows:
1. Create folders 1_MSI, 2_MSP, 3_FINAL
2. Copy the .msi to 1_MSI and .msp to 2_MSP
3. Create Administrative installation point of .MSI to folder 3_FINAL:
msiexec /a "C:\temp\1_MSI\package.msi" TARGETDIR="C:\temp\3_FINAL" /qb
4. Apply the .msp to .msi:
msiexec /a "C:\temp\3_FINAL\package.msi" /p "C:\temp\2_MSP\patch.msp" /qb
5. Copy the 3_FINAL as the Application source files for your application, it should now contain the .msp also
After this I'd check if I could do the registry modifications with ORCA to your existing .mst file.

By default, the remote control access is granted to those who part of "Administrators" group on the target computer.
Try running the remote control as Administrator (start the SCCM console as Administrator).

Can anyone tell me please- what will be the format of GUID, if I have MAK product key abcd-1234-abcd-1234-abcd-1234
I try {abcd1234abcd1234abcd1234} but it is saying "Specify a valid GUID".
Thanks in advance.
MAK/KMS product keys don't have anything to do with MSI packages GUIDs...
The easiest way for me to find the MSI GUID to be used in the application properties, is to introduce the actual .MSI for the GUI as shown above this thread (just click browse).
Another way is to install the application and check for HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and try to find the Key pointing to the installed application, there should
be msiexec.exe /x {guid} command shown...

As already noted on myitforum postlist, the diffuser part doesn't come out and play when you do the registry modification, it only show normal AES-256... Any thoughts on this anyweb?
-
I figured it out...
You need to add one additional step before Pre-Provision Bitlocker step during WinPE session:
Run Commandline: reg.exe add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\FVE" /v "EncryptionMethod" /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f
After this, the drive is encrypted using AES-256
-
How can you configure different encryption method? I'd like to use this with AES-256 w/ DiffUser....

Product team has been informed about the problem:
I would imagine that they'll release a fix pretty fast, 'cause this is a major issue.
-
Really pain in the ass actually..
I'm trying to do a build which worked fine yesterday, today it just stops and the reason is the same as yours...
Any idea how Microsoft is going to fix this?
-
You could give a shot with this:
Basicly you create two collections, one for the removal and one for the install and everything is handled through computer account's AD group membership.
Depending on your environment (big, medium, small) you should see if there are any performance hits with this approach.
-
If so one question when may I custiomize my Delault profile
yes pretty much, you'd keep FAT applications in the build and capture image and everything else (customizations etc) in your deployment image - more info in the speaker notes of this presentation i did
Actually, you don't have to leave everything else to your deployment image, you can do modifications for the default profile on your build also.
It really depends what kind of customizations are needed.. for example, if you install applications in your build and need do clear those app's
shortcuts from the desktop, you can do during the build.... Same goes for Windows Explorer settings for default user, and I'd think that'll
go with the screensaver also.
-
How about creating a custom global condition:
Get-WmiObject Win32_QuickFixEngineering -filter 'HotFixID="KBxxxx"'
?
-
Make sure you have thicked the checkbox "Allow this application to be installed from the Install Application task sequence action instead of deploying it manually" from the application's properties.
-
Still wanting to hear some opinons on my approach?
-
Hit F8 and check %windir%\ccm\logs\ for AppEnforce.Log ....
-
Just do the following during the Build And Capture TS:
- Run A Commandline: reg.exe LOAD HKU\Default %windir%\..\Users\Default\NTuser.dat
- Run A Commandline: reg.exe ADD HKU\Default\Somekey /v SomeValueName /t REG_DWORD /d SomeValue /f
- Run A Commandline: reg.exe UNLOAD HKU\Default
This has worked for me, basicly every user setting is stored somewhere in the registry, you just need to find them. Googling helps.
- Run A Commandline: reg.exe LOAD HKU\Default %windir%\..\Users\Default\NTuser.dat

Can you please explain how you are updating the base image or point me to a guide? Thanks,
Ok, so you have a Build Sequence which is deployed to Build Collection.
Deploy Software updates to that same collection and add a step to install those updates to your build sequence.
-
I'd like to hear some opinions too... so far what I've thought of:
Workstations / Servers in production:
- One ADR and Collection for certain product, fully automated deployment (reboots also), contains only the updates NEEDED >= 1, SUPERSEDED = NO
- One ADR and Collection for certain product, partially automated deployment (admin or some one else has to do the reboot), contains only the updates NEEDED >=1, SUPERSEDED = NO
- Workstations / servers go to the correct collection based on Active Directory OU.
Workstations / Servers in OSD:
- One ADR and collection for certain product, fully automated deployment (reboots also), contains ALL the updates for the Product in case which are not superseded (for example all Windows 7 x64 SUPERSEDED = NO)
- Workstations / Servers go to the correct collection by including the Build / Install collections to OSD Update collection
ADRs run every month after the updates are synchronized and get deployed right away.
Thought on this approach?

Did it work? I'm trying to do the xcopy thingy within an application and get error 0x1(access deninde).
This works like a charm.
-
You could also do two applications... One for the application install itself and one for the file copy, then do a dependecy of the application install to the file copy application and deploy it. Should work.
-
I'm not going to install using VBS. The SCCM Application will do the thing for the msi installation. Is the copy of the lic file I need to get working within an Application.
And that's what the vbscript could accomplish for you.. just wrap the msi installation in to the vbscript and add the copying of files to the same script. Use detection method by combining the msi's product code and existence of the .lic file.. pretty simple.
My idea is that you WRAP the whole installation in to a single script that does the exact thing you're aiming for.
-
Try doing VBScripts for the installation and uninstallation, they should work.
I've done couple of these, for example for VLC Mediaplayer.

I'd go with the Application method (I'm assuming you're using SCCM2012) and do two different Deployment Types instead.
