Reboots in TS not working correctly?

[joengelhart]

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

System Center is driving me crazy. I just ran the same Task Sequence with windows 7 and windows 8. One got to installing VNC and then died with error 0x87d00215. The other died at installing CITRIX with the same error.... Why would it be failing with the same error at different spots.

 

Any help would be great as this has been going on for 2 weeks now

Is anyone able to help me come up with a solution? Am I not providing enough information to get some help resolving this? Please let me know as I am at a loss....

 

Thanks

are you installing apps as applications or packages, if as packages include your smsts.log if as apps include the appenforce.log

Forget doing applications, do only packages (it is dummy silent install after all). That way it is unlikely to fail (as there is no unnecessary logic involved)

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

Here is the SMST.logs from a freshly imaged machine that just failed. I'm not seeing that it is an issue with my package as I test deployed it and it installs fine.

 

Ideas?

 

Thanks!

Here are some more logs from another machine that failed today while trying to install office 2016. I noticed it's the same error. "The sms client is not running"

 

Help would be great!
