Install Acrobat Reader 6

[kccane03]

I've tried pushing Acrobat from SMS 2003 and it doesn't seem to work. I've created the package, advertisement, and I see it in the collection. When I check the Status, it tells me it's been completed successfully. But on the client I don't see any action. What am I missing? I have it setup to run from the Distribution Point.

Thanks.

before it will install you have to uninstall the old version...is the package doing this or is it a new install?

 

[kccane03]

It's a new install. I uninstalled a Acrobat Reader on one of my test PC's.

 

[tbrennans]

Have ya tried any other software pushes to the same machine? (I'm just trying to figure out id this is a acrobat thing or sms thing)

 

[kccane03]

I'm trying office now. I'll let you know how it goes.

Here are afew things I'm thinkin here:

Can ya run the sms package directly from the machine,

if that works then its safe to say its the dp and not the package, what I have read in the past with 2003 is that if you changed the name of your site server (installed it as zzz and then re-installed it as xxx) the schema gets screwed up and when they re-installed again back to the 1st name, everything worked right. I'm sure with a bit of research there must be a way to update the schema info without a re-install.

Here's the status. I ran the advertisement for Office XP this morning. It states this:

Program started for advertisement "PS12000E" ("PS100008" - "Custom (quiet)").

Command line: "C:\WINNT\system32\setup.exe" /qb- TRANSFORMS="New Custom Setup File.MST" /nosp /m off10
Working directory: \\BCCOC-SMS\SMSPKGD$\PS100008User context: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

On the client machine I don't see anything, even in the Run Advertised Programs utility.

I started this about 15-20 minutes ago. Does it take awhile to see something?

 

[tbrennans]

not to ask a stupid question BUT could you have a dup of that machine? the only reason I ask is that it seems like its running from the view of the site, and obviously it isn't on the client your looking at...running somewhere else?

 

[kccane03]

Nope. That's the only one I know of. There shouldn't be another out there. I could change the name and try again.

check the ccm.log and see whats going on there

Ok, I've found some problems in the Site Status, Component Status area. Under SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER, here were the last errors:

1st:
SMS Distribution Manager failed to process package "Reader" (package ID = PS100006).

Solution: Review the previous status messages for further clarification about this problem.

Here are the 2 previous.

SMS Distribution Manager is retrying to distribute package "PS100006".
______________________________________________________

SMS Distribution Manager is starting to distribute package "Reader" to distribution point "["Display=\\XXXXX-SMS\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=PS1"]\\XXXXX-SMS\".

Package ID : PS100006
Distribution Point : ["Display=\\XXXXX-SMS\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=PS1"]\\XXXXX-SMS
I'm not sure exactly what it's trying to say.

 

[tbrennans]

on the dp sms should have installed a folder/share called smspkg"drive letter"$ ya see it??

if not you might have also set it up to be an dp share that you set up..check the rights on that.

from MS there is the SMSAdmin.pdf file which will go over in detail this whole thing starts in chapter 5 then in chapter 15 it hammers on some details.

 

[tbrennans]

One last thing, unlike 2.0 you cant use a netapp server as a dp with 2003

 

[kccane03]

I'm now getting this error:

The program for advertisement "PS12000C" will not be run ("PS100006" - "Adobe Acrobat Reader 6"). The program settings indicate that this program should only be run on computers where the previous attempt to run this program was not successful. The previous attempt to run this program was successful. This program was previously run successfully at 2004/03/12 11:47:01.

Is there anyway to change this. I would like it to run, even if I already ran it successful.

 

[tbrennans]

this vbs run on the client machine will do it.
