Hi, I am installing SCCM client by copying all required files onto the system itself through command: D:\Windows\System32\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.exe /source:D:\windows\system32\ccmsetup FSP=EUSCCM12 SMSSLP=EUSCCM12 SMSSITECODE=SS1 but it didn't installs, it gets hanged with MSXML6 not available error in log file. However, if i don't specify any parameters like: D:\Windows\System32\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.exe /source:D:\windows\system32\ccmsetup it installs successfully!! what could be the issue with this command? I am providing everything like msxml6, client.msi,BITS, window installer in complete package itself so no need to copy it from server. Please help. RegardsDipesh

Why are you copying the files manually before installing the client? Is there any specific reason for that? You can provide the /MP switch so that the client can download the sources from the MP using BITS.Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

Hi Torsten, We do not have MP for our installation so we are copying all files beforehand. But since i am specifying "Source" it should copy all files from there itself. And in fact it is copying, if i dont pass all parameters. Just now i noticed that, if i pass only "FSP" & "SMSSITECODE" then also it is installing client successfully and locally. Dont know why the command is failing with "SMSSLP"..Dipesh

One stupid question If you don't have MP then how the clients will get policies ?Anoop C Nair - Twitter @anoopmannur MY BLOG: http://anoopmannur.wordpress.com SCCM Professionals This posting is provided AS-IS with no warranties/guarantees and confers no rights.

You do not have an MP? You have to have one in order to manage clients so it would make no sense installing a client without having a MP. What I am trying to tell: why copy everything manually if ccmsetup.exe can do it for you automatically? Why re-inventing the wheel?Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

:) actually the SCCM installation team gave us this command to create a package. And they haven't specified MP. I also dont know how the whole system will work later on. But right now i am struggling with this issue. Ok, if you insists then i will talk to our SCCM team and see how the whole system is gonna work and is there any MP or not.Dipesh

Like Torsten said, an MP is not an optional component in ConfigMgr so you will/do have one. Here's a link with the complete command-line documentation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680980.aspx For what you are currently doing, where are you getting the source files from (I'm assuming you are copying them to the ccmsetup directory using a batch file of some sort) and what files are you copying?Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | Twitter @JasonSandys

Hi Jason, I am copying following files: 1."ccmsetup.exe", 2."ccmsetup.cab",3."windowsxp-kb923845-x86-enu.exe",4."BITS25",5."client.msi",6."msrdcoob_x86.exe",7."msxml6.msi",8."wimgapi.msi",9."windowsinstaller-kb893803-v2-x86.exe",10."windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe",11."wmirdist.msi". into d:\windows\system32\ccmsetup directory and then calling ccmsetup from there. I have passed the query for MP to our SCCM infrastructure team. thanks for your help.Dipesh

Why? Where are you copying them from? Why not just run ccmsetup directly from where you are copying the files from? ccmsetup will automatically copy what it needs to the local system.Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | Twitter @JasonSandys
