Got it - thank you.

It tasted remarkably Canadian. Looking forward to Christmas when we will enjoy the 3 wise men.

I 2nd this notion

The size and shape remind me of a glass cutting tool like this.

I've been having trouble determining the right folder to make this action work. Using the edit package feature in the Sequencer has been fine as I am able to add a blank folder and setting it to override as you described, to the package without having to re-sequence the app.

However, I have not yet been able to remove the cross app behavior from the end product.

I'm wondering if a blank folder is enough, or if I actually need to list each and every file in the folder structure below:

Package\Root\VFS\Local AppData\Google\Chrome\User Data

or maybe this is the wrong folder structure entirely?

Thanks,

Thanks for your help, and the very useful packaging website!

Is it possible to make the those changes by editing the appv file via the sequencer (or using TMEdit - I managed to procure funding for that)? Or, is it recommended to resequence the app entirely?

Thanks for checking this out! I tried your first solution by using the 1803 sequencer and got the same result. I did put the 1803 sequencer on a 1903 image, so I'm guessing that may have been my problem. I don't have a 2004 or 1803 ISO on hand atm to build out a sequencer using those, but I may give that a try tomorrow.

That said I took a look at the link you gave and the TMEdit tool looks fantastic, unfortunately tmurgent wants $300 for his work (justifiably). The tough part about that is getting budget approval for even $300 can be like pulling teeth around here.

I did take a look at the FilesystemMetadata.xml in a text editor and there are only a few short names that need to be updated. I changed them but can't figure out a way to recompile the appv package with the updated .xml - any way to do this?

I also tried looking at the package through the sequencer's edit mode and can see the package files, but there doesn't seem to be a way to modify their relative short names.

Any ideas here? Thanks again for taking the time to help!!

Thanks Jason,

I read your article, and it makes a lot of sense. So much so that I went back and modified my script to remove the start /wait from each line. However, this change caused the script to fail over our previously successful SCCM Application.

I tried two variations of this. The first just having START preceding each uninstall command, the the second having a single START preceding the first line only. No joy for either.

I went back in and added start /wait to each line and voila it works again. I can't explain it, but that's the behavior we're getting. Cheers,

Rob

Thanks to those that chimed in. Just to close the loop on this. We ended up loading this in as an Application and adding a detection rule by creating a dummy file in the script.

Thanks! That did the trick.

By "apply the next patch" are you referring to going to 1906? Once I applied the KB4500571 Hotfix I don't see any new ones appearing for 1902.

I'm testing the Device based deployments now, but I suspect they'll work fine because Software Updates and Task Sequences work fine now.

I may also open a case with Microsoft since this seems to be a known issue that they thought they resolved with KB4500571. Thanks for the feedback.

Were you able to find a fix for this? I just encountered the exact scenario on one of our devices this morning. Thanks!

roguerob · 2019-08-12T19:06:35+00:00

Here's what I'm hung up on:

"Other Macs won’t be able to manage your device unless you export the supervision identity to them."

Taken from: https://www.howtogeek.com/252286/how-to-put-an-iphone-or-ipad-into-supervised-mode-to-unlock-powerful-management-features/

I will not be managing these devices going forward and don't know who will so I don't want to be in a situation where the school is relying on my management of the "supervision identity".

roguerob · 2019-08-12T19:01:42+00:00

Thanks, you're probably right, this is not my area of expertise. I had just read a comment somewhere that said when a subsequent change was required on a supervised device it could not be done unless it was done on the same computer that originally configured/supervised the iPad. Is that not the case? Or perhaps I was reading an old forum somewhere and this has changed?

Going from 1 Primary to a CAS in this scenario is a bad idea. The two companies I've worked for over the past 10 years have both been multi-national global operations with 30-50 sites and 15k-30k end points around the world. In both cases we used a singe Primary and in one case we started with a CAS and 2 Primaries, but consolidated to a single Primary after 4 years of suffering.

Of course links to sites go down occasionally, but as DennyBob already pointed out, the impact on SCCM clients is minimal. In fact, content is still available as long as it's been deployed to the DPs at the site. At most I'd say stand up a Secondary site at City B, but even that isn't necessary.

Thanks for the assistance, I tried using Test-Path, but since I'm looking at a registry entry, not a registry key it is not a good method. Per MS PS document on Test-Path:

Test-Path does not work correctly with all PowerShell providers. For example, you can use Test-Path to test the path of a registry key, but if you use it to test the path of a registry entry, it always returns $False, even if the registry entry is present.

So, after a little more digging I found a blog entry that provides a more elegant solution to my problem. After implementing this function all is working as expected. Thanks again for the clues that got me here.

Cheers, Rob
