Software Update Task Sequence not applying updates

[Config_Mgr_noob]

Hi all,

 

I am having a very difficult time to setup a Software Update TS to actually install all available updates during OSD process. I have notice that it sometimes work but most of the time it does not install updates and TS just continues the rest of the process. I have looked online for ways to apply all updates and found the below cmd to add during my TS to scan for updates. However, I keep receiving the below error message when running this cmd.

 

Any ideas as to why I am receiving the "Invalid Verb Switch" when running this cmd? I receive the same error message when I try to run it locally on the imaged PC. Also I have my Software Update Group deployed to "All Unknown Computers" collection; not sure if I have to deploy it to another collection to be available to known PCs that I want to re-image.

 

Is this is not an ideal solution than can anyone advise what would be the best solution to apply software updates during OSD? I know about the offline service feature with the image but I would really like to know how to apply updates during OSD. I have also attached a screenshot of my TS.

 

WMIC /namespace:\\root\ccm path sms_client CALL TriggerSchedule “{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000113}” /NOINTERACTIVE

Hi there!

I ran in to the same problem. Could not run it in cmd-window on the client machine either.

The syntax i s correct WMIC /namespace:\\root\ccm path sms_client CALL TriggerSchedule “{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000113}” /NOINTERACTIVE

BUT you have to type "

I also had copied the string from some forum. The quotation marks is invalid.

The correct string is WMIC /namespace:\\root\ccm path sms_client CALL TriggerSchedule "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000113}" /NOINTERACTIVE

 

Now software update is running like a Dream.

Hi there,

 

I have a strage problem with Software Update during OSD TS. I haven't changed anythig on server and the Software Update proces just gives me error over and over for about a week now. I've looked in to the 'WUAHandler.log', 'UpdatesHandler.log', 'UpdatesDeployment.log' and 'smsts.log' files and all give errors.

Hi meglicl,

 

I am having the same issues. Were you able to fix this issue?

[itrider]

I had the exact same error...

This was my problem and manually deleting/retyping the quotation marks resolved my issue. Copy/Paste from external source resulted in the wrong quotation type being pasted.

 

Thanks for the solution!
