Hi All, In our Environment, few of the applications install fine but seem to update the installation status as Failed instead of successful. When I run the report for the advertisement, the description I get is posted below. What does that mean and What should I do to rectify it? Please help. The program for advertisement "GDC20018" failed ("GDC0011B" - "UFSCASUAT_Remove"). A failure exit code of 1 was returned. User context: Domain\SCCMTest1 Possible cause: Systems Management Server (SMS) determines status for each program it executes. If SMS cannot find or correlate any installation status Management Information Format (MIF) files for the program, it uses the program's exit code to determine status. An exit code of 1 is considered a failure. Solution: For more information on the exit code, refer to the documentation for the program you are distributing. Thanks a ton!

It depends on the program you want to install or the command line that was run. The program does determine the exit code. So it might very well be possible that return code 1 equals success; but that's totally up to the executable that was kicked off. Either wrap such an executable in a batch file and set the return code to 0 if it originally was 1. Or use a Run Command Line task sequence and add "1" to the success codes.Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

Have you already tried installing the program with admin rights?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.

Thanks Torsten! The ones that are reporting the above error are batch scripts. Even a simple batch script which does nothing but file drop using xcopy gives this kind of report. And exit code 1 is just an instance. I get various other exit codes too. Apparently I cannot run TS with all those exit codes.

Hi Anoop! Our packages have certain requirements which does not allow it to be Run as Admins, but only Run as Users.. :(

Just wanted to know.... Does the MIF Field options in the Reporting tab during Package creation has anything to do with this? I just want to make sure this is indeed an error caused by the package and not because of any malfunctioning in the Site Server reporting of MIF files. Thank you..

MIFs have nothing to do with that. It's always up to the program to determine the return code.Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de
