The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Install after RIS - Client Doesn't Install Under System Account

Asked by trolley01 in MS System Center, VB Script

Tags: , , ,

We have just upgraded our SMS 2003 installation to SCCM 2007.

As a part of our deployment, we have a script that is run after an RIS installation. This script installs the antivirus, the SMS client, waits until the install is finished, and then initiates the SMS actions. This all worked fine.

We then upgraded to SCCM2007. Since this point the installation of the SMS Client has failed. The ccmsetup.log file in C:\Windows\System32\ccmsetup shows the following at the bottom:

<![LOG[Source \\systems\SMS_TC1\Client is inaccessible (5)]LOG]!><time="14:28:30.390+-60" date="06-16-2008" component="ccmsetup" context="" type="2" thread="1500" file="ccmsetup.cpp:4785">
<![LOG[Failed to find accessible source. Waiting for retry.]LOG]!><time="14:28:30.390+-60" date="06-16-2008" component="ccmsetup" context="" type="2" thread="1500" file="ccmsetup.cpp:4909">
<![LOG[Next retry in 10 minute(s)...]LOG]!><time="14:28:30.390+-60" date="06-16-2008" component="ccmsetup" context="" type="0" thread="1500" file="ccmsetup.cpp:8191">

If I exit the script, and run the install manually as the user, then it will install fine.

After remembering that the RIS commands run under the system account, I changed our vbscript to run the install using the run as command. This does not work either, even when running as administrator through the script.

As a last ditch attempt, I even changed the NTFS permissions on the share to 'Everyone - Full Control' but this did not work either.

I'm guessing that whatever I do, something is still trying to run under the SYSTEM account, but I don't know what.

Anyone got any ideas on how to get round the problem?

Thanks.
