First, sorry for the text wall, just want to provide all the information to help with troubleshooting.

A little bit of background before we get started. We currently run SCCM 2007 R3 in production, and I am in the process of building out an SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 environment. MDT 2013 is integrated for OSD task sequences.

I have created an MDT task sequence in SCCM. I am not configuring items directly in the task, rather using the customsettings.ini almost exclusively for configuration of the various settings. Most of this is functioning properly. Systems will get named properly, joined to the domain, etc. However I was experiencing a failure when attempting to install applications.

The following two task sequence steps remain configured with their default. "Convert list to two digits" and "Install Application".

So, the YES from SkipApplications is added as an application to install. Since I do not have an application called YES, the application install portion fails when trying to build an SCCM policy. Producing this error in smsts.log.

To troubleshoot I commented out SkipApplications=YES and redeployed the task sequence, and the applications were successfully installed.

So, how does one utilize both the capability to install applications, in addition to bypassing the application section of the UDI Wizard without running into t

Hi,

Please check if the blog helps.

Integrate UDI with your SCCM task sequence for optional software deployments (and other cool features)
