Hi,

I have this command which doesn't work. I remember it worked fine before, we did upgraded to SCCM 2012 R2 SP1, any idea what could be wrong? Please advise.

Add-CMDeploymentType -ApplicationName $ApplicationName -LogonRequirementType WhereOrNotUserLoggedOn -MsiInstaller -DeploymentTypeName $StandardProgramName -AdministratorComment $Description -InstallationProgram  'OurCustomScript' -UninstallProgram 'OurCustomScript' -ContentLocation $PackagePath -DetectDeploymentTypeByCustomScript -ScriptType Powershell -ScriptContent "Dummy" -RunScriptAs32bitProcessOn64bitClient $False -ManualSpecifyDeploymentType -InstallationBehaviorType InstallForSystem -InstallationProgramVisibility $RunType -AddRequirement $oDTRule -verbose

Add-CMDeploymentType : Value cannot be null.

Hi,

I tested Add-CMDeploymentType cmdlet in SCCM 2012 R2 and SCCM 2012 R2 SP1. It worked in SCCM 2012 R2 but failed in SCCM 2012 R2 SP1. The error is the same as yours and I also got a warning:The parameter 'ManualSpecifyDeploymentType' has been deprecated and may be removed in a future release.

Ok, yes, I had the same message but even if you remove that, error is the same.

Any chance that the issue is fixed with https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=46681?

If I change the -msinstaller to -scriptinstaller it works fine. However the name of the deploymenttype is not correct anymore then. It states "Script Installer".

Please advise.

Hi,

This error is gone after updated System Center Configuration Manager Cmdlet Library. But I got another error: Add-CMDeploymentType : Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters.

Having set all the parameters as document. The AddDeploymentTypeByMsiInstallerAuto works fine.
