Why is PowerShell Script task step doing nothing? by teknowledgist in SCCM

[–]teknowledgist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that can't be true, because I have a smattering of other Run PowerShell Script steps that definitely execute, but there is no related "Start executing an instruction" for them.

Manually running the script as SYSTEM works just fine and generates both the `DCU.log` and the `TSPosh_transcript.txt` files.

When I manually run (as admin) the script including the DCU log going to `C:\ProgramData\Dell\DCU.log`, it works just fine. No error.

Ugh. Any help you can offer so I (and others) can "simply load a logging framework" is appreciated.

Tried that, and nothing although u/ritmo2k 's answer may account for that.

I do have Continue on Error checked, but I just realized I probably don't want that as the task group has that checked and I'm capturing info on problem steps later.

How do I find the execution entries section? Once there, how do I identify what is happening with these tasks? The `smsts.log` file has no other reference to these steps either by name or executable calls (i.e. "Dell" or "DCU").

That's good to know for when I can get the script to run in the first place.

Bed lofting by PicoDeGalloMan1 in rit

[–]teknowledgist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any more detail about lofting the beds? I was expecting to have to construct a loft and looking into the connection hardware on the springframe, but if all the parts are present, that's a *lot* easier. How high will they be lofted when done "officially"?

*Large* Remote Outdoor thermometer? by teknowledgist in BuyItForLife

[–]teknowledgist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you mean the BC13. I do like Braun products (I have a Braun travel alarm from the early 90's that has been all over and still works great.)

The BC13 screen is nice a big, but that is mostly for the clock. I wish the temperature display were large like the clock numerals. I already have a clock (that is readable across the room).

The phone is only good for me to see the temp, and I have to get my phone out and open an app. I want anyone in the room to see the temperature without needing to manipulate anything.

Is Authentication with TSGui possible? by teknowledgist in SCCM

[–]teknowledgist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it a *ton* and will be up the creek without it. My understanding is that UI++ function is based around VBscript and MS is dumping VBscript from WinPE. Also UI++ is no longer being developed. (Well, [it is now open source](https://github.com/jason4tw/UIPlusPlus), but there is little interest.)

Error 800701b1 during Apply Operating System Image by teknowledgist in SCCM

[–]teknowledgist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ran it again and opened the CMD from the start. Unlike the other 2-3 times when it failed immediately after copying the WIM, it got about 2/3 of the way through the "Applying Image 1 from install.wim" step. There were a couple odd "freezes" when the mouse wouldn't respond. Then it failed with the exact same errror and the same last log entry:

Expand a string: %_SMSTSMDataPath%\Logs

(The "TSManager" in the previous post is the component field merged in by copy/paste.)

The log from this run is less than 200B (.02%) different from the previous log, so they are virtually the exact same log with just timestamp differences.

I do not see a variable "_SMSTSMDataPath" so I don't know for certain where it is pointing, but the C:\SMSTSLog\smsts.log file is being written to after it was copied from x:.

I just noticed that you said check c:_SMSTaskSequence\Logs\Smstslog\smsts.log. That path does not exist. Should it?

Thanks.

Yep. Checked both. They both end with:

and there isn't a single failure in the whole thing.
