Hey everyone,
I'm not sure if anyone else is seeing this, but I figured it was worth mentioning. We've been configuring & testing Provisioning for the last couple months and it's gone well for the most part. We were having some major PXE issues, but those were resolved by SP1. The only other major issue we've had is with deploying packages via the Distribute Software action. I haven't figured out why, but packages will randomly fail on random machines. For instance...
Let's say I deploy a Provisioning task to 15 machines. All 15 machines re-image fine, install the LANDesk agent fine, but a few of them fail to install let's say 1 of the 5 packages I want deployed to them. What's even stranger is that it isn't the same package that fails each time.
I've been digging around on the forums for a week now looking for solutions. One idea was that the security scanner was getting in the way. I tried the solution of using an agent that doesn't run a security scan and then install the normal agent after I'm done with packages. No go. So I'm not sure what's up.
At this point, I've completely given up on the Distribute Software action and resorted to downloading the install files in WinPE by utilizing PrefMap.exe and then install them via the Execute File action.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
