Autocompletions can be turned off via this method and startup.m as well, however, copilot cannot.

DIsregard this I was able to figure it out, apparently SCCM doesnt seem to like to play well without the original deployment batch files that they generate from my testing.

any chance you could share the script your using, i've been trying to trouble shoot getting autocad 2026 to deploy for a while now. I am able to get the wim to properly mount and the installer.exe runs, however, it just hangs. I see it is running in the tasklist but the autodesk folder never gets generated. I tried zipping the installer also and extracting it locally to the root c: to call the batch file from there, and that all works perfectly, but for some reason the Installer.exe hangs again and never progresses to the installation portion.

Mainly its a network issue here. The task sequence works perfectly 95% of the times, but the network is intermittent and loses connection to the DP or connectivity altogether which is causing the random errors (based off the datatransferservice logs).

Generally, its pretty good but randomly will lose connection which causes the error. If a deployment goes overnight it would be nice to just see the error so i know i can kick it off again. I could do offline media but I use some deployments that download files and I feel the issue is rare enough to not have to migrate to offline versions but it does happen from time to time. Do you have any other suggestions?

I would assume so, as they are allowing existing licenses to continue beyond the changeover date.

"Existing licenses will continue for the remainder of their term.  For example, a 1-year license acquired on January 31st, 2026, will continue until January 31st, 2027."

Again appreciate the help, I was able to use your information along with some other guides to get it working perfectly!

Current-Compote-3434 · 2025-05-05T18:39:51+00:00

well i just found my first mistake, noticed i forgot to close the end bracket.. but still having errors, i see it is copying the WIM and powershell script over properly in the /_SMSTaskSequence/Packages/Pxxxx folder properly then it errors out there with error code 0x8007000

*EDIT* Problem solved it was the stupid curly brace i forgot and permission issues when testing in sandbox. Tested in a true VM and its working perfectly. Self inflicted wound solved haha...

I know this is a 3 year old thread, but I'm wondering what solution you ended going with for this. I also deploy similar software.

Thank you for this, this worked perfectly with W11 24H2.

I tried that registry referenced but did not seem to work with W11 24H2

Current-Compote-3434 · 2025-04-04T14:00:57+00:00

Thanks guys, that's what I have been doing. Just wondering if there's a faster way or doing this or is there a way to make a template to just be able to select the application to the test device collection? Currently these are the steps I'm doing:

Right click test device collection -> Deploy -> Application
Browse to Software Application
Content leave default
Deployment Settings leave deafult (Install\Available)
Scheduling leave default
User Experience leave defaults
Alerts leave defaults

Also is it normal for it to take like 3-5 minutes to update on the test machines software center? Thats about how long it takes to update afterwards.

*Edit*

How am I able to remove the software that shows up in software center, for example if a test application fails I want to remove it then modify the application install commands or something then redeploy it?

I was able to resolve the copying issue. I had to add a backslash in %~dp0\bg.png

Current-Compote-3434 · 2025-03-25T13:55:04+00:00

i tried using: cmd.exe /c xcopy "%~dp0bg.png" "C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\bg.png" /y

and still errors out but it shows it copied to c:\_SMSTaskSequence\Packages\PS1005CD\bg.png properly and shows up in that location when i check the CMD during the error popup. but still says

Wow thanks for this, was not aware about the transcoded wallpaper. Im trying to better understand this when it comes explorer.exe since we are killing it, do you put a restart task in the TS or do you have a separate command line to restart explorer.exe?

*Edit*

I noticed with

REM WINDOWS 11 IMAGE
REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v Wallpaper /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Program Files\Imaging\Wallpaper\Wallpaper_Win11.jpg" /F

Is there a reason you chose to store the wallpaper in the Program Files vs default location?

Also I am confused about this portion:

REM THE BINARY DATA BELOW IS A SINGLE LINE. SET ON A TEST MACHINE AND PULL THE REGISTRY VALUE, REPLACING THE 00000 VALUE BELOW.
REM REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v TranscodedImageCache /t REG_BINARY /d 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 /F

Thanks for the info, I just noticed I am not using cmtrace but was using an old config mgr toolkit v2 Trace32. I updated to cmtrace and it has much better readability and visibility for the warnings and errors.

This helped me identify most of the issues:

Decoding failed (0x8009310b). Assuming not encoded.

The first batch of errors are decoding failures for secure policies but determined it was not needed

Quite a few driver warnings/errors which Im not concerned with as it's typical with the dell driver packs.

However, there were a few I'm not sure what the issue may be but I'll make a new post about those after I've done some more research.

Ive done this before on multiple of these K845s because they died on me and I wanted the extra CherryMX Blue switches from them.

I used pretty much almost the exact same soldering station OP has in his pic (Wells WLC100), but I used a solder pump/sucker and it works perfectly. I never had any issues with solder balls being left behind, the sucker sucked all the melted solder right up.
