I have had a lot of success auto deploying Forefront to my SCCM clients. I have built a Manual advertisement for a collection but for some reason the package doesn't want to appear in "Run Advertised Programs". How would I go about trying to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks Paul

Hi - Can you please check the client side log files like, locationservices.log whether the client is able to find the MP details. Also, check the policyagent.log whether it's receiving the policies or not. And in the console you can check whether the system record is showing as client installed YES, etc.... Also, just go through the below thread for more details http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrswdist/thread/f7b80d7a-0be9-4bb3-a56f-96787549b0c3Anoop C Nair - This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees, and confers no rights. |Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

programs only appear in the RAP if the end user is allowed to run the program. If you create a mandatory advertisement, by default it will only run at the assigned time (unless you configure the end user to always allow rerun of advertisement).Kent Agerlund | My blogs: http://blog.coretech.dk/author/kea/ and http://scug.dk/ | Twitter @Agerlund | Linkedin: /kentagerlund

also check you do not have any mandatory scheduled on the advertisement .Do not assign any schedules for the advertisement (optional advertisement) OR Kent suggestion. //Eswar Koneti @ www.eskonr.com

Not set to mandatory and there are no schedules defined I have gone through ExecMgr.log and the PolicyAgent.Log AdvertisementId=CCM200A4 PackageId=CCM0005F PolicyAgent.Log Compiling policy 'CCM200A4-CCM0005F-7D1B5B9B' version '1.00' from 'SMS:CCM' (2011-07-12 09:08:19.420) Starting download of policy 'CCM_Policy_Policy4.PolicyID="CCM200A4-CCM0005F-7D1B5B9B",PolicySource="SMS:CCM",PolicyVersion="1.00"' from 'http://SCCM01.MNPOWER.COM/SMS_MP/.sms_pol?CCM200A4-CCM0005F-7D1B5B9B.1_00' Download of policy 'CCM_Policy_Policy4.PolicyID="CCM200A4-CCM0005F-7D1B5B9B",PolicySource="SMS:CCM",PolicyVersion="1.00"' started (DTS job ID: '{A5DE3D7A-372B-41BA-A052-C15EE433CD37}') Raising event: instance of CCM_PolicyAgent_PolicyDownloadStarted { ClientID = "GUID:450B04B7-9402-44F6-A111-42D18CA4E5B4"; DateTime = "20110712141324.673000+000"; DownloadMethod = "BITS"; DownloadSource = "http://SCCM.domain.COM/SMS_MP/.sms_pol?CCM200A4-CCM0005F-7D1B5B9B.1_00"; PolicyNamespace = "\\\\CICDEV02\\ROOT\\ccm\\Policy\\Machine\\RequestedConfig"; PolicyPath = "CCM_Policy_Policy4.PolicyID=\"CCM200A4-CCM0005F-7D1B5B9B\",PolicySource=\"SMS:CCM\",PolicyVersion=\"1.00\""; ProcessID = 4564; ThreadID = 5440; }; Raising event: instance of CCM_PolicyAgent_AssignmentEnabled { AssignmentConditionID = ""; AssignmentID = "{6011811a-efab-47c5-9c51-be687c415f0a}"; ClientID = "GUID:450B04B7-9402-44F6-A111-42D18CA4E5B4"; DateTime = "20110712141324.673000+000"; PolicyID = "CCM200A4-CCM0005F-7D1B5B9B"; PolicyNamespace = "\\\\CICDEV02\\ROOT\\ccm\\Policy\\Machine\\RequestedConfig"; PolicySource = "SMS:CCM"; PolicyVersion = "1.00"; ProcessID = 4564; ThreadID = 5440; }; Download of policy CCM_Policy_Policy4.PolicyID="CCM200A4-CCM0005F-7D1B5B9B",PolicySource="SMS:CCM",PolicyVersion="1.00" completed (DTS Job ID: {A5DE3D7A-372B-41BA-A052-C15EE433CD37}) Raising event: instance of CCM_PolicyAgent_PolicyDownloadSucceeded { ClientID = "GUID:450B04B7-9402-44F6-A111-42D18CA4E5B4"; DateTime = "20110712141359.125000+000"; DownloadMethod = "BITS"; DownloadSource = "http://SCCM.domain.COM/SMS_MP/.sms_pol?CCM200A4-CCM0005F-7D1B5B9B.1_00"; PolicyNamespace = "\\\\CICDEV02\\ROOT\\ccm\\Policy\\Machine\\RequestedConfig"; PolicyPath = "CCM_Policy_Policy4.PolicyID=\"CCM200A4-CCM0005F-7D1B5B9B\",PolicySource=\"SMS:CCM\",PolicyVersion=\"1.00\""; ProcessID = 4564; ThreadID = 3328; }; ExecMgr.Log Software Distribution Site Settings for the client are missing from WMI. execmgr 7/12/2011 9:13:12 AM 3328 (0x0D00) Software distribution agent was enabled execmgr 7/12/2011 9:13:59 AM 4708 (0x1264) Policy arrived for parent package CCM0005F program Install Raising event: [SMS_CodePage(437), SMS_LocaleID(1033)] instance of SoftDistProgramOfferReceivedEvent { AdvertisementId = "CCM200A4"; ClientID = "GUID:450B04B7-9402-44F6-A111-42D18CA4E5B4"; DateTime = "20110712141400.000000+000"; MachineName = "CICDEV02"; ProcessID = 4564; SiteCode = "CCM"; ThreadID = 2588; }; I have done a ccmclean and a WMI rebuild and went back and installed the client.

hello, Check for other client logs as well and check do you see some more error.

I downloaded and installed the SCCM Client Center Tool, which is very nice. I forced a rerun on the advertisement and instead of showing up on the RAP it went and installed the program. This is very confusing??? Paul

There is a message in the Run Advertised Programs Interface "No programs are available to run from a Terminal Services session" I'll have to track down where this phyical server is and jump on it and see if from the console it is displayed. I would guess not, but who knows. Paul

Ok mstsc /admin <groan>Run RAP and the advertisement is there. </groan> Turns out it only wants to display this on the admin console. Paul
