Problem:
Package appears to start on the client machine, but it does not run the executable on all of the 170 machines
sdtask log says;
result 229392397 (0x0dac400d - code 16397)
Cause:
The package was installing but it was waiting for user input, so it never finished. And because we were running as local system, the prompt for user input was in a session not viewable. (because we are on an XP system the following applies, for windows 7 PSExec must be used)
Resolution:
1) Open a CMD prompt as admin, and run the following command;
at HH:MM /interactive cmd
2) In the CMD that opens as local system at the specified time in the command, point to the location and the exe in the software dist package.
3) If at this point we get access denied, add Domain Computers to the security of the share the exe resides in.
4) Once past security if the exe installs, but now shows us the prompts waiting for user interaction, add switches to account for all of the user interaction for the exe.
