I am trying to deploy an OS from SW Center and getting the error "The Software cannot be found on any servers at this time." The DP is fully up to date with all content and the boundary is set correctly. Looking at the execmgr.log on the client, I see this:
Validating chain of dependent programs for package CAS000C5 optional program *execmgr 1/31/2014 8:16:31 PM 2492 (0x09BC)Validating package CAS000C5 program * in the chain. The content request ID is {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} execmgr 1/31/2014 8:16:31 PM 2492 (0x09BC)Creating an optional execution request for package CAS000C5 program * execmgr 1/31/2014 8:16:31 PM 2492 (0x09BC)Content is not available on the DP for this program. The program cannot be run now. execmgr 1/31/2014 8:16:56 PM 2492 (0x09BC)OnOptionalExecutionRequests failed for program * execmgr 1/31/2014 8:16:56 PM 2492 (0x09BC)
The problem with this is the package ID does not exist on the server in any way. It is nowehere to be found in any reports and not in the content distribution area.
What is going on?

Any chance that CAS000C5 is the ID of a task sequence?

Ah Ha, it is in fact the task sequence.
No idea why it is failing though as all the content has been distributed.

BryanCP - check the SMSTS.log on the affected client for more details of errors. P.S Like the Greg Dulli avatar ;-)

Unfortunately, no SMSTSlog is generated.

It should have happened by now, but have you forced a machine policy update and/or verified that it succeeded?

Nothing has changed, unfortunately. I can download standard applications, but the TS won't run.
The machine is having issues, specifically user profiles are messed up and new ones cannot be created. I suspect it may be related to this error I am seeing.

The TS I had been using was a user directed one. I tried a non UDI one and it was able to be deployed.
Not sure what the issue was, but that seemed to do it. As I noted, the existing TS's content was 100% complaint on the correct DP. ???

I'm having the same problem right now. And all of the content is on the DP. I suspect that maybe for one or more of the packages the source version of the content doesn't match what is on the site server. We have a lot of DPs so I've been avoiding using the update content option which updates ALL the DPs. Instead I've been using redistribute content but that doesn't update the source code, source version, or the policy for the content. It's too bad execmgr log doesn't give you the exact package ID of the content that is "missing". Maybe it's in another log?

Turns out the execmgr log may have been telling me the names of the packages after all. I was seeing some errors in the log for 5 packages saying "could not find the policy in WMI for application...". I updated those 5 packages last night. I just ran a bare metal task sequence from PXE that calls on the same content and it came up with an error that one of those packages is not on the DP. So the packages must not be finished updating. once they are my hope is that the other task sequence will run in Software Center.

Bumping this because it is still occurring in our environment. This only seems to happen with MDT task sequences. All of the content is on the DP, so I am unclear as to what could be occurring. As noted earlier, the error specifies the ID for the task sequence, not any individual piece of content.

Any update on this issue? We are experiencing the same issue.
"Content is not available on the DP for this program. The program cannot be run now. execmgr"
The TS is the program.

The fix for this is to make a copy of your Task Sequence and redeploy it. This will create a new package ID (a package for the TS, containing just the Task Sequence XML files and policy).
Generally this will fix the 'Content not available' error, when the Package ID listed is actually the ID of the Task Sequence itself.

This is the solution, for anyone has this problem. I was trying to do a OSD to a machine with windows 7 already. The log showing that the task sequence is not available from the DP. This is at a remote site, so I couldn't do pxe boot re-image. After copy the Task sequence, so far is good, try downloading the content now.
