Manually deploy SCCM client, and waiting for completion of the installation / initial setup

Question

Hello,

I want to design a script (to be executed locally) that :

1. trigger the manual installation of the SCCM client

2. Synchronously wait for full installation of the SCCM client (not only the completion of the ccmsetup.exe process)

3. Synchronously wait for first machine policy download

For #1, I used to execute the command line... "\\...\CCMSetup.exe /mp:XXX SMSSITECODE=CTL FSP=XXX /UsePKICert /source:"\\XXX\Client"" but this is obviously an asynchronous process as once ccmsetup has completed, remaining setup and first sync. happens in the background.

Any suggestion ?

Regards.

Hi,

I can help you with the first two parts: http://ccmexec.com/2011/11/installing-the-sccm-client-using-vbscript/

It does not wait however for the first machine policy download.

Thanks a lot Jorgen, it definitely helps.

Having a look to your link, I also discovered the switch "/noservice"... It looks even more straightforward than using a vbs script. Are you aware about any drawback to use this method ?

Regards.
