Question
Monday, July 1, 2013 12:30 PM
Hi
I know this is a simple question.. but..
We've bought a complete sccm solution with deployment of OS and applications.
Now we have some engineering software that has also been sccm'd as applications which are installed based on membership of a certain ADgroup.. this is based on device not user.
Most of these applications seem to fail... They succeed if I log in as Admin and let the applications install..
but if the intended user for the device is logged in.. it fails..
In MDT I could deploy them during image deployment... so I assume it's not some weird (must install as user) application..
But trying to find the error is really hard when you haven't been introduced to sccm and the location of various information..
so I am hoping that you can guide me to the logs where I can find some error codes or other error messages...
Kindest regards, Martin

Hi,
For Packages/programs see the Execmgr.log file.
For Applications see:
AppEnforce.log : Records details about enforcement actions (install and uninstall) taken for applications on the client.
AppIntentEval.log : Records details about the current and intended state of applications, their applicability, whether requirements were met, deployment types, and dependencies.
AppDiscovery.log: Records details about the discovery or detection of applications on client computers
Regards,
Jörgen

Hi Martin,
Here's a great resource about the log files:

For the Client log files, excluding a Client installed onto a Site server or Site system hosting the MP role you should find them here: %WNIDIR%\CCM\LOGS.
If you are struggling then do a recursive search for them looking for ccmexec.log

You can configure if the application should be installed using the context of the logged-in user or admin (= local system).
Logfiles: AppEnforce.log plus the logfile that's generated by the setup routine (if there's any; that depends on the installer or the command line used not ConfigMgr).

If the app is selected to run in the user context, does the msiexec.exe still run with local administrator/systems permissions, or run with the user's permissions?
