How did you resolve this problem? What do you mean "not re-distribute the content?"

I am just going to consider them prerequisites and install them. Thanks.

Errors, so that is the problem. I believe I use to be able to skip this check... or ignore failures. I guess I cannot do that any longer...

That is correct.

I have a small air-gap network that we do not do operating system deployments on. When I run the 1511 upgrade (Base build needed before 1607) it fails to find MDT and ADK. This of course is expected. I try to not install things I don't need, so I would like to skip the check and install 1511 anyway. If my memory is correct, in the past I could skip the checker or proceed despite failures. Anyone have any ideas outside of just installing MDT and ADK? Thanks!

I implemented IBCM a couple years ago. In a highly managed environment it was a lot of work to setup. The best solution today would be to implement Direct Access instead. This way the laptops will not only communicate to SCCM, process GPO's, and remove the need for VPN clients. There is a lot of good information and walkthroughs out there for Direct Access.

This does not seem like a good way to deploy a package. If I read this correctly, you deployed a package and expect it to fail until the machine eventually gets the required prerequisites? Why not create an application that has the prerequisites as dependencies? Or there is an option to run another program first (Package not application side). Even using a batch file to install things one at a time sounds better than the proposed solution. However, if you must use the model you have proposed what is the schedule set to? If the schedule simply says "as soon as possible" it will only run once. You need to tell it to run weekly, or daily, or whatever you desire. Some other considerations would be if you are using maintenance windows. The program run time may exceed the window?

Or, from the console Right Click the machine object and choose start > Resource Explorer. Expand Hardware and then look at Installed Applications and Installed Applications (64). Garth has a better answer. The built-in reports is a better answer.

I am 100% sure. However, I did not have the updates available to that collection. I was deploying them to a similar named collection... fixed and working!

I use a collection called Windows 7 OSD. That collection has patches deployed to it.

I have updates made available to machine in my OSD Collection. However, the install updates task sequence step seems to do nothing. It acts like there are no updates available or required. From the ts log: Successfully initiated RefreshUpdates operation InstallSWUpdate 3/3/2016 5:54:30 PM 3316 (0x0CF4) RefreshUpdates operation has already completed InstallSWUpdate 3/3/2016 5:54:30 PM 3316 (0x0CF4) No updates need to be installed on this machine.

How are you guys handling this step?

Check your WSUS Console. It should tell you what port is being used. Might try 8531. (Administration > Site Configuration > Server and Site System Roles) Find the Software update point role and make sure the ports match WSUS settings.

Interesting... Not what I am seeing, but I deploy flash updates using SCUP. Might consider running a flash cleanup utility before running the latest installer? Just check the box to run another program first when you create your flash player installer. https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html

I ended up just going with an IP based boundary system. It is working great.

For "or" situations I have found it is best to just create two separate membership rules. Rule 1:"Installed Applications.Display Name" like '%java 8' Rule 2: "Installed Applications(64).Display Name" like '%java 8%' As a bonus, after using the CE Viewer for a few years I found that this really speeds up the evaluation times.
