Even with the execution policy set to "Unrestricted", nothing changes

Sadly, checking the "Allow users to interact with this program" did not change anything.

My original program was more than just powershell.exe without parameters, but it would do the exact same thing, work fine on the 64-bit machine but fail on the 32-bit one. Running powershell.exe from a command prompt on the 32-bit machine opens up the interactive powershell just fine, it only seems to be when it's called from SCCM that it fails.

Hey folks, I've created a simple package that has a program that simply runs "powershell.exe" No batch file or anything, I've reduced it down to the most simple thing since I've been having issues trying to call anything else. I've advertised it to two Windows 7 machines, one 32 bit and one 64 bit. Powershell.exe starts just fine on the 64-bit machine, but on the 32-bit machine it fails with a -65536 error. Obviously there's no code trying to be run so it can't be an error there. This seems to happen on all of our 32-bit machines. I even changed the program to go directly to the path of powershell on a 32-bit machine, but the same error occurs. Any ideas?

Okay, it looks like the Site Maintenance tasks really handle the cleaning up of the old computer records eventually, which should be fine. I guess the thing I really need it how to get the client machine, once renamed, to show up in SCCM as actually having the client installed, since it was before the computer was renamed.

Unfortunately, the old computer name is still showing that it is active and not obsolete. The new computer name still doesn't show it has the client agent at all. I did run the update collection membership, but to no avail. I looked at the inventoryagent.log as well, and will post and excerpt below, not really sure what to look for here: <![LOG[inventory: *********************** Start of message processing. ***********************]LOG]!><time="14:29:40.544+240" date="08-24-2010" component="InventoryAgent" context="" type="1" thread="3788" file="agentendpoint.cpp:322"> <![LOG[inventory: Message type is InventoryAction]LOG]!><time="14:29:40.544+240" date="08-24-2010" component="InventoryAgent" context="" type="1" thread="3788" file="agentendpoint.cpp:323"> <![LOG[inventory: Temp directory = C:\WINDOWS\system32\CCM\Inventory\Temp\]LOG]!><time="14:29:40.544+240" date="08-24-2010" component="InventoryAgent" context="" type="1" thread="3788" file="agentstate.cpp:2517"> <![LOG[inventory: Clearing old collected files.]LOG]!><time="14:29:40.544+240" date="08-24-2010" component="InventoryAgent" context="" type="1" thread="3788" file="agentstate.cpp:1604"> <![LOG[inventory: Opening store for action {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000003} ...]LOG]!><time="14:29:40.564+240" date="08-24-2010" component="InventoryAgent" context="" type="1" thread="3788" file="datastore.cpp:175"> <![LOG[inventory: Action=Discovery ReportType=Full]LOG]!><time="14:29:40.665+240" date="08-24-2010" component="InventoryAgent" context="" type="1" thread="3788" file="agentstate.cpp:1472"> <![LOG[inventory: Initialization completed in 0.100 seconds]LOG]!><time="14:29:40.665+240" date="08-24-2010" component="InventoryAgent" context="" type="1" thread="3788" file="agentstate.cpp:512"> <![LOG[Collection: Namespace = \\.\root\cimv2; Query = SELECT __CLASS, __PATH, __RELPATH, IPAddress, IPXAddress, MACAddress FROM Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration WHERE IPEnabled=TRUE; Timeout = 600 secs.]LOG]!><time="14:29:40.685+240" date="08-24-2010" component="InventoryAgent" context="" type="1" thread="1136" file="collectiontask.cpp:347"> <![LOG[Collection: Namespace = \\.\root\cimv2; Query = SELECT __CLASS, __PATH, __RELPATH, UserName FROM Win32_ComputerSystem; Timeout = 600 secs.]LOG]!><time="14:29:40.865+240" date="08-24-2010" component="InventoryAgent" context="" type="1" thread="1136" file="collectiontask.cpp:347"> <![LOG[Collection: Namespace = \\.\root\ccm\invagt; Query = SELECT __CLASS, __PATH, __RELPATH, IPv6Address FROM CCM_IPv6NetworkAdapterConfiguration; Timeout = 600 secs.]LOG]!><time="14:29:40.915+240" date="08-24-2010" component="InventoryAgent" context="" type="1" thread="1136" file="collectiontask.cpp:347"> <![LOG[Collection: Namespace = \\.\root\ccm\invagt; Query = SELECT __CLASS, __PATH, __RELPATH, IPSubnet FROM CCM_NetworkAdapterConfiguration; Timeout = 600 secs.]LOG]!><time="14:29:41.045+240" date="08-24-2010" component="InventoryAgent" context="" type="1" thread="1136" file="collectiontask.cpp:347"> <![LOG[Collection: Signing turned off.

In our collections, when changing the name of a machine, the old machine is still staying in the collection, saying that the client agent is installed AND the newly named machine is in the collection saying that the client is NOT installed. We have AD System Discovery turned on to poll daily and Heartbeat Discovery is turned on to send daily. Client agent pushing is done manually, not automatically. We also seem to have cases were the same machine name is in a collection, one saying the agent is install and one saying it isn't. Any insight?

Got it working actually. Ultimately, I went to Site Settings, Site Systems and went to the distribution point settings for the SCCM server. I then unchecked "Allow clients to transfer...etc using BITS" and the package copied just fine. So I'm all set now, but would someone mind explaining why this might be the case as I have BITS installed on the SCCM server?

So I should give the SCCM server computer account administrative access to itself? Just wanted to clarify that since the configmgr server is the distribution point. Edit: I did at the server$ account with admin permissions to itself, but that didn't help

Hey all, I've setup SCCM 2007 SP2 based on the install instructions on this forum. We have a single domain, single site setup. I'm trying to get software distribution to work - I have a collection with a single machine to test pushing software to. I followed the instructions for pushing Firefox (also based off the thread: http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/499-how-can-i-deploy-an-application-in-sccm-2007-sp1/) but it doesn't seem to be working. I created a folder on the root of the SCCM server which contains the Firefox.exe. The Package Status is in State: Install Retrying. The desktop computer in the collection never gets the "Advertised Programs Available" pop (and yes, the client is installed on the desktop). When trying to show error messages for the site, it's filled with "SMS Distribution Manager failed to process package" Error 2302. The SCCM server is itself the distribution point, why does it seem that despite the .exe file already being in a folder that it's trying to make a new folder on the server itself and push the executable to it? Also, we have NOT extended schema, but have a WINS service locator setup. As I'm sure is evident, I'm very new to SCCM, so any help, as descriptive as possible, is greatly appreciated.
