PENDINGApplication installs fail during OSD sequence

[jemmerich]

Hello, I've been working on setting up a new ConfigMGR server to do our OS deployments. In our scenario it is just needed to install OS and some standard applications. No domain join or anything as these go to our customers after. I am hitting a snag at Application deployment, I have worked it down so far as to get error 0x80004005 during the App deployment step. Previously I would get a different error regarding the distribution point not being found, but adding the SMSMP line to the installatio properties on the Configmgr client install step seems to have resolved that.

I cant seem to find out how to proceed further with this diagnosis, what should I do next? I have figured out how to get CMtrace working in my test machine after the failure, but I dont see any entries regarding the app installs in any of the logs on the machine. Any advice would be appreciated.

In our environment, machines need to be members of the domain in order to have access to the deployment share after the OSD steps. When they weren't members, we would get that same error in task sequences that included application deployment. Take a look at your appenforce.log on the client and also check c:\windows\cmcache for the installer files. I suspect this is a permissions issue and they probably can't be downloaded.

Hmm, yeah I can look into that but since this machine is on our internal domain, I may need to see if we can move it to a subdomain or something. Or can I add everyone permissions to the Distribution Point or something to make that work?

Any reason why the machines shouldn't join the domain, and you still want the apps to be installed?.

Yes, the reason we wouldnt join them is that we are an MSP and these are machines for our customers, so they get joined to their domains.

Also to update this thread I did get it to work, I found that creating a boundary group that includes the subnet they are on and then applying the application installs to that worked.
