Hi I wonder if anyone can help with a very strange problem I am having with a task sequence running on SCCM 2012 R2 SP1. I have a powershell script which runs in a task sequence and gives the user an option to select a time to delay running of the task. The problem I have is that the below section of commands is returning a value of null on some machines in one of our office's. However it is running fine in other offices, if I run the script local on the machine it works fine which is really confusing. $datetime = get-date $current_time = $datetime.ToShortTimeString() $global:AlarmTime = $global:Time.Value $global:start_time = $global:AlarmTime.ToShortTimeString() $global:endtime = (new-timespan -Start ($current_time) -end ($global:start_time)).Totalminutes the problem is with the $global:endtime all other values are returning correct. I am running this in the task sequence as a run command line with the following syntax. ServiceUI.exe -process:TSProgressUI.exe C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -WindowStyle Hidden -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -WindowStyle Hidden -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -noprofile ".\Updates.ps1" If I run it as a powershell script rather than a command line it won't run at all. any help or advise on this would be really appreciated.

Hi there the only way i could get this to work was by removing several folders from the package. It now also replicates without having to use prestage content.

I have since found using process monitor that when it fails it appears to fail with path not found. It appears to be converting the path to chinese char's for some reason. Both distribution point i am having trouble with is located in Asia but has no settings configured with these char's. Can anyone shed any light on why this would happen ???? Please see attached screenshot of what is happening.

Hi i am currently having an issue with Autocad Admin package not being able to get it to update and 2 of my distribution points. The size of the package is 5gig I have 1 Primary server with 4 distribution points on other sites. I have it replicated to two of them but i am unable to get it to replicate correctly to the other 2 sites. I have tried using the distribution Point as a pull DP but this fails, tried a normal DP which also fails and i have now tried setting it as a pre-staged DP and this is also failing when i try extracting on the server. The error messages i am getting is the standard i guess for a failed Package on a Normal DP which is Possible cause: Site server does not have sufficient rights to the source directory. Solution: Verify that the site server computer account has at least Read access to the directory you specify as the source directory. Possible cause: There is not enough disk space available on the distribution point. Solution: Verify that there is enough free disk space available on the distribution point For the PreStage DP i get the below error's Prestangedcontent.log <![LOG[CFileLibrary::GetFullName failed; 0x80070003]LOG]!><time="23:17:11.756-480" date="09-25-2013" component="PrestageContent" context="" type="3" thread="4196" file="filelibrary.cpp:862"> <![LOG[CFileLibrary::SetFileUser failed; 0x80070003]LOG]!><time="23:17:11.756-480" date="09-25-2013" component="PrestageContent" context="" type="3" thread="4196" file="filelibrary.cpp:935"> <![LOG[CContentBundle::ExtractContentBundle failed; 0x80070003]LOG]!><time="23:17:11.761-480" date="09-25-2013" component="PrestageContent" context="" type="3" thread="4196" file="contentbundle.cpp:1378"> <![LOG[ArchiveFile::ExtractFile failed; 0x80070003]LOG]!><time="23:17:11.770-480" date="09-25-2013" component="PrestageContent" context="" type="3" thread="4196" file="archivefile.cpp:3280"> <![LOG[ArchiveFile::ExtractContent failed; 0x80070003]LOG]!><time="23:17:11.770-480" date="09-25-2013" component="PrestageContent" context="" type="3" thread="4196" file="archivefile.cpp:2551"> <![LOG[End ====> Wed Sep 25 2013 23:17:11]LOG]!><time="23:17:11.774-480" date="09-25-2013" component="PrestageContent" context="" type="1" thread="4196" file="log.cpp:86"> I have done a validation of the pre-staged package using the extract to No prestaging content has been done. The content prestaging file has been succefully verified. Nothing found that prevents prestaging of content on this system. I am really out of idea's on this and can't understand why it works for for some and not others. The only thing i can think is that the path is to deep but i guess if this was the case it would be the same for all servers. Any help and advise is really welcome to help me get around this problem Thanks In Advance

Hi guys wonder if any of you could give me the answer getting a management point installed its coming up with mof compile errors. I have follow this document to the letter but still fails. I won't add the information here as it will create a duplicate post i have it posted on this site but a different section so below is the link. I would we really glad if somebody could help resolve this because thus far i am unable to find anyone. http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/8115-sccm-2012-sp1-mp-installation-failure-will-not-install/

Hi thanks for the suggestion, i have just give this a good but i still get the same results. Any further suggestions are more than welcome.

I have installed SCCM 2012 SP1 onto Windows Server 2012 with SQL running on a remote server. Both servers are running in an ESX enviroment. AD has been extended & all security permissions applied to both AD (System management Container) & SQL I can install the site without any issues except for the mangement point it will not install. I can add a DP. FP, application catalog roles and they are all working fine. No matter what i try i am unable to get the MP to install, the server has been rebuilt several times, install has been tried both with windows updates and without. No Virus software and Firewall disabled. Different download's of SCCM ISO's have been tried but i still can not get it installed. I have installed all the PreReq's that are required and there is no fail's therefore it will allow me to continue the install. When i watch the log file (mpMSI.log) i can see it running through the setup for MP & if iook in the SMS_CCM Folder i see it add the files for the MP before doing a rollback due to the failure on installation. The erro which i am getting is attached which relates to mp_ccmConfig_Defaults.mof was unable to compile. I have checked for 2007 client installed which some people suggest but this does not exist as we don't install SCCM client onto servers. I have disabled UAC, removed bits and reinstalled but i am still unable to resolve. Any help to resolve this will be very much welcome. Thanks in advance

Hi thanks for your reply, we don't install the SCCM 2007 client on Servers so there is not client. However i did try the post you suggested prior to posting but did not help me. This is really strange i am now at the point to try installing Server 2012 to see if that resolves the problem. Peter

I can install the site with no problems at all except for the MP, the DP role is installed fine. I can add extra roles for example FallBack status point, Application Catalog web service point etc. No matter what i try i am unable to get the management point to install. I have rebuilt the server from scratch, i have tried it with all windows updates & without. Different ISO's of SCCM all with the same problem. I have followed all documents which i can find on the internet and added a PreReq's which are require but it will still not install. When i watch the log file (mpMSI.log) i can see it running through the setup for the MP & if i look in the SMS_CCM folder i see it add the files for the MP before removing them due to the rollback of the install.
