Good Morning All,
I am hoping someone will have an idea as to why when I advertise a new TS to test machines the steps seem to go through & the mid reboot will work albiet the TS goes to quick.
When I check the update has been succesfull it hasnt worked.
The BIZAREE thing is however that if I simply Re-Advertise from the Cache the TS works just perfectly With no issues & is updated upon reboot???
So just to confirm first advert does not work although all the promts & boots happen (too quick)
Re-Advertise from the Console/SCCM Tools all works perfectly no changes just re-advertised????
This is baffling me now & I need to resolve asap to deploy this week.I look forward to an ideas you guys can share?

Hi,
What are the steps you are executing in the TS? a little more information would make it easier to give you a good answer.

I have an install software using a vbscript (tested manually all ok)
- install software using a vbscript (tested manually all ok)
- run a command line for chkdsk to run
- Reboot delay
- Reboot with message
- Install Software using a vbscript (tested manually)
- Reboot
As I said if re-advertised all works perfect the second time, but the first gives all messages & boots but no update complete & the Logs say completed. -

Hi,
When it runs the first time, are there any errors recorded in SMSTS.log?

Not that I can see no, could you if possible post a step TS you would use to do the following
- run the first update (package)
- wait for ** minutes with a message to users to reboot
- on boot run the second update (package)
- wait for ** mins with message to reboot?
Your help is appriciated.
