calling ServiceUI.exe

Question

_{Monday, April 6, 2020 6:34 PM}

at work we have our working task sequence.   like so many I'm working from home and in my home lab I wanted to update some of our menu items in our build.   In our current (and working) task sequence we run this command:

"%DeployRoot%\Tools\architecture%\ServiceUI.exe" %windir%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noprofile -WindowStyle Hidden -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -file "%DeployRoot%\Scripts\RBO\Menu.ps1"   

and Menu.ps1 throws up a menu users can pick and choose different build information.   When I run the same command in my home lab I keep getting this error:

Exiting with [-196608]

so I googled around and I found some posts that use -process:TSProgressUI.exe  so I copied the tsprogressui.exe to my %deployroot% and it still fails.   In the SMSTS.LOG it only says "failed to run the action Custom Menu: Result -1

I'm running CB 1910 and OSD works fine if I remove the custom menu step.

Hi,

Thanks for posting in TechNet.

How about creating a package with ServiceUI.exe and your script, then run a Command Line step?

Also refer to: How can I deploy a customized Windows 10 start menu using System Center 2012 R2 SP1 Configuration Manager ?

Please note: The link is not from Microsoft, just for your reference. Thanks for your time.

Best regards,
Simon

thank you but that does not answer my question.    The code I provided works in one environment but not another and I need to understand why.   This Menu.ps1 reads an .INI file and parses that .INI file.  then it uses data it read and creates TS Variables so I need it to run as is.

Hi,

Thanks for your information.

Please help firstly check if we can successfully run the Menu.ps1 PowerShell command locally. 

Here is a example about ServiceUI.exe for your reference:

Thanks for your time.
