Thanks for the link. Okay.
So that is setting a timeout for the application before it retries, rather than just failing like it did pre R2. If it still isn’t working for people they might need to set it to more than the default which is 1 minute. Would have been nice if they fixed the issue with locationservices rather than patch the application installation operation, seems like a workaround similar to the ping wait rather than a true fix. Unless I’ve got that wrong? Dre.

The extent of the documentation on it is what Craig pasted below (from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh273375.aspx). And no recommended value, you’ll need to determine what’s appropriate for your environment. Too many variables to provide a specific value for general use.

Bob, are you using the new SMSTSMPListRequestTimeout variable? This is the “fix” in R2. Craig, this variable should apply in your scenario as well.

Hi All, Thought i would share something with you all. We are using ConfigMgr2012 to build Win7 OSD. Now we have just received machines with SSD and the download time and boot time is so fast that after the Install Updates step the OS reboots and starts up the OS and the TSEngine so quickly that the domain has not had time to react and verify the machine account. The next step, install Applications, fails because the client cannot get the site information from AD and subsequently gets nothing from location request and cannot download anything. After putting in a wait step before the applications step the build runs through without problem. You are only ever as fast as the slowest component. Looking at built in TS variables, if it was just an application install step then this might help: SMSTSMPListRequestTimeout: For System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager only: Use this variable to specify how much time a task sequence waits before it retries to install an application after it fails to retrieve the management point list from location services. By default, the task sequence waits one minute before it retries the step. This variable is applicable only to the Install Application task sequence step. But our step is install applications from list of variables and this appears not to retry any application, rather it fails immediately. The wait step is just a quick fix, I am looking at variables and retry settings, and possible a script that checks availability of the domain before continuing. Maybe this TS variable will work with install from variable.
