Hey guys, Thought it was time to give back a little bit with all the help and information I've gotten here. We have SCCM in our environment with about 40 apps and 3 different OS deployments. And we were worried that users would kick off their own OS installs. To that end, we created a little app that asks for a password. And I'm sharing it, and the steps to use it, and hide the ts, run under user context, and make it go. This will work for any task sequence really. Passprompt.exe is the app and it takes whatever password that you define in it. Example. PassPrompt.exe MyP4ssword would look for the password of MyP4ssword Hide.vbs closes the task sequence progress bar so the window pops to the forefront Serviceui.exe runs it under the users context so whomever opens it can interact with the windows instead of it being invisible to the user Run.bat puts all togethor You edit what you are looking for in the run.bat The attached zip contains Make a package that contains those files after you have edited the run.bat for your required password and systemui.exe architecture. and distribute it to your distribution points. Add the following run command line step to your task sequence referencing the package you just made. Now you get the following when you try to run a task sequence from within windows Enter the wrong password and you get Cancel the password window and you get Hopefully these tools will help you keep your users from running OS deployments from within software center Password Check.zip

Need some more log there's probably alot more red above that

Im getting hung up on writing the key to a different place .... it doesn't want to write at all. Heres my printers.xml for that, but its just not writing it. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <migration urlid="http://www.microsoft.com/migration/1.0/migxmlext/printers"> <!-- This component migrates the printers and network drives --> <component type="System" context="UserAndSystem"> <displayName>Printers</displayName> <role role="Settings"> <rules context="System"> <include> <objectSet> <pattern type="Registry">HKCU\Printers\Connections\* [*]</pattern> </objectSet> </include> <locationModify script="MigXmlHelper.RelativeMove('HKCU\Printers\Connections\', 'HKCU\Printers\OldConnections\')"> <objectSet> <pattern type="Registry">HKCU\Printers\Connections\* [*]</pattern> </objectSet> </locationModify> </rules> </role> </component> </migration> Anyone see anything blaringly wrong with that?

Well .... once I can finally get the key to write somewhere that it can be read. I have a great programmer here that has a script ready for me to read the key via runonce, and add the printers slowly, probably one every 45 seconds. All at once crashes the driver installs. When I have it, Ill post it all.

NVM ..I think i found it.

In our environment .... there's no such thing as explaining to the user. So the keys, come over, and then I get driver errors because it tries to install all those printers at once. Adding the connection key's one at a time works great. But without the USMT mapping the HKCU keys don't know who to go to. Is there any way I can change where they "restore" to? I have a great programmer here, and if we could restore them to a junk key, he can read them and add them slowly (30 second pause)

Weird .... So I read that there and was like ... that isn't going to work for us. And I started testing intensively <pattern type="Registry">HKCU\Printers\Connections\* [*]</pattern> is the part I worked on. If I take those keys, and use USMT, to restore them. Then printers error. However, if I backup those keys, and then restore them manually using regimport after the fact, no errors and the printers migrate.

OK, Some headway My printers appear to be having some sort of driver conundrum .... Setting the permission of the driverstore folder didnt help that error. Is USMT bring over drivers as well?

My offline user state is rocking great, files, mapped drives, its all coming over. Network printers however .... They show up .... like they want to be there. But, they dont. For reference, Windows 7 to Windows 7

Yah ... thats def set. Heres some forward movement to a degree and some more log Here's the relevant application that I want to install/test: Passed in version 5 for ScopeId_44DFFA60-2E41-45CD-A833-580B9FE6504B/RequiredApplication_3d3820ff-76bf-4a59-819b-25f986977cb1 DCMAgent 5/5/2014 4:35:09 PM 2152 (0x0868) CAppMgmtSDK::GetEvaluationState ScopeId_44DFFA60-2E41-45CD-A833-580B9FE6504B/RequiredApplication_3d3820ff-76bf-4a59-819b-25f986977cb1.5 = EvaluationFailed DCMAgent 5/5/2014 4:35:09 PM 2152 (0x0868) GetAppMgmtSDKInterface successful InstallApplication 5/5/2014 4:35:09 PM 2152 (0x0868) CAppMgmtSDK::GetEvaluationState ScopeId_44DFFA60-2E41-45CD-A833-580B9FE6504B/RequiredApplication_3d3820ff-76bf-4a59-819b-25f986977cb1 DCMAgent 5/5/2014 4:35:09 PM 2152 (0x0868) Passed in version 5 for ScopeId_44DFFA60-2E41-45CD-A833-580B9FE6504B/RequiredApplication_3d3820ff-76bf-4a59-819b-25f986977cb1 DCMAgent 5/5/2014 4:35:09 PM 2152 (0x0868) CAppMgmtSDK::GetEvaluationState ScopeId_44DFFA60-2E41-45CD-A833-580B9FE6504B/RequiredApplication_3d3820ff-76bf-4a59-819b-25f986977cb1.5 = EvaluationFailed DCMAgent 5/5/2014 4:35:09 PM 2152 (0x0868) NotifyComplete received InstallApplication 5/5/2014 4:35:09 PM 2152 (0x0868) NotifyComplete processed InstallApplication 5/5/2014 4:35:09 PM 2152 (0x0868) Received job completion notification from DCM Agent InstallApplication 5/5/2014 4:35:09 PM 3824 (0x0EF0) GetAppMgmtSDKInterface successful InstallApplication 5/5/2014 4:35:09 PM 3824 (0x0EF0) CAppMgmtSDK::GetEvaluationState ScopeId_44DFFA60-2E41-45CD-A833-580B9FE6504B/RequiredApplication_3d3820ff-76bf-4a59-819b-25f986977cb1 DCMAgent 5/5/2014 4:35:09 PM 3824 (0x0EF0) Passed in version 5 for ScopeId_44DFFA60-2E41-45CD-A833-580B9FE6504B/RequiredApplication_3d3820ff-76bf-4a59-819b-25f986977cb1 DCMAgent 5/5/2014 4:35:09 PM 3824 (0x0EF0) CAppMgmtSDK::GetEvaluationState ScopeId_44DFFA60-2E41-45CD-A833-580B9FE6504B/RequiredApplication_3d3820ff-76bf-4a59-819b-25f986977cb1.5 = EvaluationFailed DCMAgent 5/5/2014 4:35:09 PM 3824 (0x0EF0) Installation job completed with exit code 0x00000000 InstallApplication 5/5/2014 4:35:09 PM 3824 (0x0EF0) Execution status received: 16 (Application failed to evaluate ) InstallApplication 5/5/2014 4:35:09 PM 3824 (0x0EF0) App install failed.
