For testing to see what 1603 *really* means, change the command line in SMS to:
msiexec /i "lotus notes 8.0.1.msi" TRANSFORMS="lotus801.mst" /qn /l*v
c:\Notes8.log
After it runs, go read the log file. After it fails, the log will have a
lot of information; usually the real error is a hundred or more lines up from

We are using SMS 2003.
We are trying to deploy Lotus Notes 8.0.1 via SMS. For the package, I use
this syntax: msiexec /i "lotus notes 8.0.1.msi" TRANSFORMS="lotus801.mst" /qn
If I login as the local admin and use this exact syntax (with the necessary
modifications) msiexec /i "\\server\folder\lotus notes 8.0.1.msi"

XP SP3 distribution

We are having an issue distributing XP Service Pack 3 via SMS/ITMU... about
10-20% of the clients are reporting successful, but are still at XP SP2.
PATCHINSTALL.LOG shows a Failsafe timeout 99 minutes after it starts, which
is the timeout specified in the /t switch. Should be more than enough time?

Branch DP with BITS enabled clients

(Matthew White) — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 13:17:53 UT

Hello,
I have a question regarding the use of BITS clients and branch DP:
If all clients are set to use BITS in the site properties, can they
download content from a branch DP?
I am in the process of formulating recommendations regarding the
following decision for a distributed network with serverless sites:

Re: SMS 2003 server: problem adding static rules to a collection

s...@spam.ca (Garth) — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 12:22:16 UT

I thought that the limit was much smaller than 2000 more like 500 but yes
there is a limit.
One of the trick is to create multiple collection below one main collection
with about 490 workstations in each collection. Then advertise to the top
collection and select the included sub-collection check box.

Hi everyone,
i'm experiencing the following problem.
We have several tools which allow us to add statically elements to a
collection
(Simviewer and makecoll command))
The tools simply create in a collection a static rule which points to a
workstation ID we define.
Basically we list all workstations ID in a txt file and we run a process

New MSI? Did you build it yourself? If you have, what I recommend is
updating the "version" of the software; and set the new MSI to upgrade the
previous version. If you have absolutely no clue what I'm talking about,
there is a course from desktopengineering.com that can help you demystify
Windows Installer for the SMS/ConfigMgr admin.

RE: Package not installing - WaitingDependency

sherrykissingermvp...@discussions.microsoft.com (Sherry Kissinger [ MVP-SMS ]) — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 13:16:01 UT

It essentially means it's waiting for either another application to finish
successfully (i.e., you used "run another program first"), or it's waiting
for a dependent condition, like "only when no user is logged in".
Sometimes the other dependent program did finish successfully, but because
of a reboot condition set incorrectly, it's still waiting for a reboot.

Hi,
can anyone explain me what exactly mean the "WaitingDependency" state change
for execution request (in execmgr.log)? I have troubles deploying software on
some of my clients, where the state change is going from WaitingDependency to
WaitingDependency. It lasts for 5 days now. I'm not able to find solution for

If i have a msi that was installed and now i have updated the program
and want to redeploy the new msi is there a quick anser on how to do
this? Can i just place the new msi in the distribution point and tell
it to run the advertisement again? Or can some one direct me to a
website that can help me with this? I am running SCCM 2007. Thanks

I have SCCM 2007 SP1 and have been using OSD to deploy Vista and XP to new
machines via PXE and recently, my Vista Task Sequence has stopped working
properly. It works fine all the way up until the "Setup Windows and
ConfigMgr" task, then it errors out.
Like I said, it worked fine last month. The only things that have changed

SCCM 2007 - unicast WOL

We have a SCCM 2007 SP1 in mixed mode on a W2K3 SP2 server and we are testing
software distribution with WOL on the same subnet as the SCCM server.
WOL subnet-directed broadcasts works fine. But we want to use unicast WOL
because broadcasts are blocked by our routers and we need also to distribute
