[MDT-OSD] RE: Application install via TS build and capture does nothing

[Townsend, Robbie]

Related to the issue I mentioned below, when running bitsadmin /info /job 
{JobID} /verbose during the install application steps in the TS, which hangs 
and the application is never even downloaded to CCMCACHE, we see the "Unknown 
working..." message shown below.  Not sure if it is relevant, but notice how 
the highlighted portion of the URL has a . in it. If I paste this URL in my 
browser it returns an invalid character error as shown in the screen shot. If I 
try the same URL but remove the . from it, I get a Forbidden: Access Denied, 
which is kind of what I would expect.

Note: This issue only occurs if the TS is started from the software center and 
the WIM set in the TS is x64. If you start it via PXE, all 19 applications 
download and install fine. Further, if you start the TS from the software 
center and an x86 WIM is what is set in the TS, all 19 applications install 
fine. I want to emphasize that the issue is not install related - the app's 
data never comes down so an install is never able to be attempted.

We are seeing similar behavior but only when using an x64 WIM in the TS. If we 
set an x86 WIM all apps install fine. This is on 2012 R2 Beta, but we had never 
tried x64 OS prior to R2, so I can't say if this is new behavior. What I am 
seeing the SMSTS log is an evaluation failure, which seems to imply a 
pre-req/dependency is not being met, but none of the applications have any of 
that set.

Completely agree with Johan on this one, I won't use Applications during a TS 
anymore either, not 100% reliable and consitant.

Use Packages.

Use packages for TS deployments.

I stopped using applications in the task sequence long time ago, just to many 
bugs... still...

Ok, I'm stumped.  I'm sure it is likely something simple I am missing but have 
yet to figure it out.

We are finally standing up a new CM12 SP1 U3 environment to replace our 
well-aged CM07 environment.

Rather than migrating packages etc. over we are starting off fresh and created 
all of the former packages just as Applications where we could.  Deploying 
applications to machines works fine but when I try and add them to be installed 
via a TS none of the ones I have selected install.  Packages also work fine via 
the TS.

I've checked the SMSTS.LOG but there seems to be no errors there, though I will 
admit I may not know what I should be looking for.  I've also tried installing 
KB2522623 and rebooting before the Application install steps with no change.

Here is part of the SMSTS.log where one of the application groups is supposed 
to be installing.
