Good to know, thanks Aaron. That isn't the exact issue we talked about, but it is quite similar. Our issue is ccmexec starting, but not being accessible by the TS engine or the software distribution agent. We get the below error in the smsts.log:
Failed to create instance of ISoftwareExecutionRequestMgr interface, hr=0x80070005 Waiting for ccmexec process to start Daniel Ratliff From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Aaron Czechowski Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2014 11:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] RE: HOTFIX: A command-line action that has a linked package doesn't start in ConfigMgr 2012 OSD Hi Daniel - I think this hotfix is specific to SP1, although the issue does occur in R2 as well. Sustained engineering is already tracking a fix for R2 (but don't ask me when, I don't know). The following is the key log entry in execmgr.log: ContentProgressEx invalid request GUID handle The following Connect item lists some options to workaround: https://connect.microsoft.com/ConfigurationManagervnext/feedback/details/813943/pfe-client-stuck-at-0-downloading-for-swdist-based-task-sequences. I think switching to download on demand is another workaround. Aaron p.s. is this the issue we discussed at TechEd?

This issue occurs if the Run Command Line Action sequence step has a link to a package, and the deployment for the task sequence has the Download all contents locally before starting task sequence configuration applied to it. This problem occurs only if multiple task sequences include the same package and the package has a larger source size. http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2014/05/27/hotfix-a-command-line-action-that-has-a-linked-package-doesn-39-t-start-in-system-center-2012-configuration-manager.aspx http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2961924 Hoping to get clarification on whether this only affects SP1 or is R2 affected as well.
