  • It should not initiate a reboot on its own. The program should prompt you to reboot using standard code reboot - exit code 3010. This will ensure that the reboot is processed successfully at this task sequence step. If the program returns exit code 3010, the internal task sequence engine will reboot. After a reboot, the task sequence will continue automatically.
Configuration Manager 2007 programs that use the option to install a dependent program as part of a package are not supported by operating system deployment. If the program has the option enabled Start another program first, and another program was already running on the target computer, the specified program will be launched.

This step specifies a base variable name for a series of task sequence variables, each containing a pair of values<package id: program name> separated by a colon. A series of variable names are formed by adding a numeric suffix from 001 to 999 to a specified base name. Variable names and associated values ​​form dynamic list packages. The list of packages ends when there are no more variable names followed by a numeric suffix. The linked packages will be installed in the order they are listed. Before the installation of each subsequent package begins, the installation of the previous one is completed. The package ID should always be in capital letters. The program name is case-sensitive and must exactly match the name given to the program when it was created. Virtual application packages distributed using the Configuration Manager 2007 R2 application virtualization feature are not distributed as part of the application list. If the variable's value is incorrectly formatted or indicates an invalid package identifier and program name, the package installation will fail. If there are no variables with the specified base name and suffix "001", the packages are not installed and the action completes successfully. The selected program must meet the following criteria.
  • It must be run as the local system account, not as the user account.
  • It should not interact with the desktop. The program should work without notifications or in automatic mode.
It should not initiate a reboot on its own. The program must request a reboot using return code 3010. This will ensure that the reboot is successfully processed in the task sequence step Install software For example, to install a single application using a task sequence variable named AA001, you must provide the following information. Variable name: AA001 Variable value: CEN00054:InstallTo install three applications, the following additional variables must be specified.AA002 Value: package: CEN00107:Install Silent Task sequence variable: AA003 Value: package id: CEN0031:Install If an application installation fails, continue installing other applications from the list Select this check box so that if the installation of an application from the list fails, the task sequence will not run Install software was continued. If this check box is not selected, if the installation fails, the task sequence step will exit immediately. If the checkbox is checked, the next package or program from the list of variables will be installed regardless of errors.

Video on the topic

In the operating room Windows system 7 provides the ability to flexibly configure the rights of each user. The administrator sets a list of actions that are allowed to the user in the system, and only the administrator can change this list. Installing programs is an action that affects the security of the system.

Instructions

Log into the operating system as the “Administrator” user. To do this, you need to know the password for the administrator system account, and enter it when Windows startup. Typically, this data was installed by the user when the computer was first started, for example, when installing the operating system. If you do not have administrator rights, disable this account or try to recover the password.

Launch Local Group Policy Editor. To do this, enter the command gpedit.msc in the “Run” line and confirm its execution by pressing enter on the keyboard.
