  2. How can I change a HKCU setting within Windows during an OSD deployment

    in How do I ?

    Posted

    you are trying to apply settings to the Current User section of the registry which won't work during a task sequence as the task sequence runs for Computers not users,

    you can get around this by mounting the registry hive for the Default User, making the changes using your chosen registry file which is pointing to this mount point, then commit the changes,

     

    what this will mean is that All new user profiles on that computer will get the change, here's an example of that for a Windows 7 deployment (you will need to adjust accordingly for Windows XP so that C:\Users becomes C:\Documents and Settings\)

     

    Below is an example for modifying HKCU settings for Windows 7

     

    the first step will Load the Default User registry hive into a mountpoint called Defuser using a Run Command Line step like so

    cmd.exe /c reg.exe load HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\defuser c:\users\default\ntuser.dat

    in the next step we import the Registry file in another Run Command Line step this Registry file can be a file in a package.

    cmd.exe /c reg.exe import "Userprefs.reg"

    the important thing here is that the registry file refers to the mountpoint referenced in our first step, below is an example of that

     

     

     

    Are you running this while in the "boot image" or while in the "currently installed OS"?

     

    Thanks

  7. Reboots in TS not working correctly?

    in Configuration Manager 2012

    Posted

    not everyone wants to or should forget about using applications, as they do provide way more options than the legacy packages provide,

     

    start by figuring out why the application is failing to install, the logs should reveal the reason, then resolve it and try again.

     

     

    I am installing my applications using Packages as I thought it would help me with some of my issues as per some other threads. If I get lucky I can sometimes get a complete image to go through with all apps. 90% of the time it fails. It does not appear to be an issue with one application as I have had the TS die during different application installs leading me to believe it's something else going on in the background causing the Ts to crap out. I will image a new machine and attach the logs. I also attached some SMSTS logs up above in another post from another machine but i will get some fresh ones.

     

    Other things I have observed:

     

    Doesn't matter what OS it is.

    Doesn't matter if it's a clean install or a "refresh"

    I'm not convinced it's a single problem.

    Issues appeared after upgrading to CU2

    Client installs CU2 update once image finishes, even if it fails to complete the TS. (Just upgraded SCCM to a CU so this may be the normal action for others)

     

     

    HELP would be great! I'm at such a loss. This is by far the longest issue I have ever had with System Center

  10. Reboots in TS not working correctly?

    I see that you use a Restart Computer step imediatly after the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step. I've seen this causing issues in combination with applications when the Notify the user before restarting checkbox is cleared and by that removing the Message display time-out. If you really need that restart step, make sure it has at least the default time-out. Otherwise the client might have to little time to successfully initialize.

     

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have removed the restart step and am now getting error code 0x87D01011 on the firefox step. However I know firefox works because I use it in another TS with no issues. I keep getting random error messages at different spots.

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Appreciate the help this is driving me crazy.

    is this happening across all machines or only specific ? have you added the patch to the task sequence in client installation step ? how did you set the sccm 2012 client installation task action ?

    something to look at http://henkhoogendoorn.blogspot.com/2011/01/task-sequence-fails-after-r3-client.html ?

     

    It does happen across all of my machines. Right now I have a TS with an OS, office and firefox. Once It gets to office it throws the error. However if I remove firefox office installs. If I remove office. Firefox installs. Almost like I am on a time limit of how much stuff I can get installed before the TS fails. I'm using Sccm 2012 R2 SP1 CU2. Does this apply? Does SCCM really not install the CU2 Software Center upon imaging automatically? I noticed upon upgraded to CU2 it update and distributed my Configuration Manager Client Package.

  19. Reboots in TS not working correctly?

    Hi,

    If you have reboots before applicaiton installations you should tweak the following values if you haven't already...

    http://ccmexec.com/2014/12/smstsmplistrequesttimeout-value-in-milliseconds/

    Regards,

    Jörgen

     

    Where exactly are you applying this tweak? I added in reboots recently to see if it helps get all of my applications installed. At the moment the reboots do not seem to be helping. I'm getting applications that are just straight up getting skipped during the TS process.

  20. Reboots in TS not working correctly?

    Hello,

     

    I am having several applications fail to install and they always seem to be different application every time I run the TS. I have reboots between some of my app installs to help from reboots stacking up. I noticed on the first reboot when it comes back up it shows "Setup is preparing your computer for first time use" and the SCCM window is over the top showing "Restart Computer" "Initializing the System Center Configuration Manager Client".....

     

    Is this normal? I feel like I haven't had this issue before. Any ideas would be great!

     

    Thanks

  24. Software Updates Reboot Ballon

    Thanks for the reply. I like the idea and was thinking the same thing however I don't want to "force" a reboot in-case our users still have items open. (Over half our users never log off at night). When updates finish installing you get the little balloon in the bottom right corner that comes up and says "Restart required, Recently installed software requires your computer to restart to complete the installation" I was hopping someone knew a way to make this balloon come up like every hour or half hour!

  25. Software Updates Reboot Ballon

    in Configuration Manager 2012

    Hello,

     

    How can I get the Software Center "Reboot pending" balloon to popup in the task bar multiple times? I want to harass our users with the "Reboot pending" notification until they reboot the computer. I don't see a location to set how often the user is notified that a reboot is pending. Any help would be great!

     

     

    Thanks
