In Task Manager, there’s a task called “Configuration Manager Client Retry Task” that is set to run every 5 hours 43 minutes after the hour. The commandline is C:\Windows\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.exe /ForceInstall /config:MobileClient.tcf /RetryWinTask:1 I need to figure out how that got there, but I’ll bet that’s what was causing problems. Why the SCCM client set up a task to reinstall itself, or why anything would, since the healthchecks were passing is odd. But hey.

The scheduled task history got wiped when the client installed and reinstalled itself, but its set to run once a day at midnight. So unless it took over 7 hours to complete a check I don’t think that was it unless something kicked it off. Does this store a log separate from the client logs?

Then, a few seconds after it uninstalled, it reinstalled. It did this again at about 12:45 this afternoon. Unfortunately during the install all the client logs are getting wiped so I can’t go see why it felt the need to uninstall itself. All I can see in event viewer is the Windows Installer service removing the client then reading it, I can’t see where it got that directive from. My first thought is the client health check, however the SCCM server reports that last ran at 12:07 this morning and returned a verdict of healthy. So, I’m not too sure where to go looking. We only found out about this because in the removel and reinstall the deployment history was wiped, so several deployments were reran and the machine restarted on us. Any idea what would cause this? Thanks.
