Returning exit codes to SCCM

Hello all. Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but I need a bit of direction.
I have an SCCM application pushing out a group of apps (.MSI, .MSP and .EXE). All are being installed by invoking Deploy-Application.exe -DeploymentType “Install”

The installation completes successfully. But SCCM still views the deployment as IN PROGRESS to test computers. I have been seeing that SCCM doesn’t necessarily work well with return codes from scripts, but some of the code has been a bit over my head. I am looking to make sure that PSADT is returning the resulting exit code to SCCM correctly.

My Deploy-Applications.ps1 script is shown below. Not very fancy, just customizing the install experience for end users, calling the installers and copying files. Is there code I should add to the script itself, or should I be invoking PSADT differently? And thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

<#
.SYNOPSIS
This script performs the installation or uninstallation of an application(s).
.DESCRIPTION
The script is provided as a template to perform an install or uninstall of an application(s).
The script either performs an “Install” deployment type or an “Uninstall” deployment type.
The install deployment type is broken down into 3 main sections/phases: Pre-Install, Install, and Post-Install.
The script dot-sources the AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1 script which contains the logic and functions required to install or uninstall an application.
.PARAMETER DeploymentType
The type of deployment to perform. Default is: Install.
.PARAMETER DeployMode
Specifies whether the installation should be run in Interactive, Silent, or NonInteractive mode. Default is: Interactive. Options: Interactive = Shows dialogs, Silent = No dialogs, NonInteractive = Very silent, i.e. no blocking apps. NonInteractive mode is automatically set if it is detected that the process is not user interactive.
.PARAMETER AllowRebootPassThru
Allows the 3010 return code (requires restart) to be passed back to the parent process (e.g. SCCM) if detected from an installation. If 3010 is passed back to SCCM, a reboot prompt will be triggered.
.PARAMETER TerminalServerMode
Changes to “user install mode” and back to “user execute mode” for installing/uninstalling applications for Remote Destkop Session Hosts/Citrix servers.
.PARAMETER DisableLogging
Disables logging to file for the script. Default is: $false.
.EXAMPLE
powershell.exe -Command “& { & ‘.\Deploy-Application.ps1’ -DeployMode ‘Silent’; Exit $LastExitCode }”
.EXAMPLE
powershell.exe -Command “& { & ‘.\Deploy-Application.ps1’ -AllowRebootPassThru; Exit $LastExitCode }”
.EXAMPLE
powershell.exe -Command “& { & ‘.\Deploy-Application.ps1’ -DeploymentType ‘Uninstall’; Exit $LastExitCode }”
.EXAMPLE
Deploy-Application.exe -DeploymentType “Install” -DeployMode “Silent”
.NOTES
Toolkit Exit Code Ranges:
60000 - 68999: Reserved for built-in exit codes in Deploy-Application.ps1, Deploy-Application.exe, and AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1
69000 - 69999: Recommended for user customized exit codes in Deploy-Application.ps1
70000 - 79999: Recommended for user customized exit codes in AppDeployToolkitExtensions.ps1

Hi,

For application, SCCM is detecting the installation from the installation method. Why not exiting with 0?

Hi,

Within SCCM, I’m trying to complete an application installation as part an overall sequence but once code returns 0 the task sequence stops? Is there a way that the script can conclude and send a return back to sccm for initialisation of the next sequence…i.e deploy-application -install -wait=0?

Thanks Francois. I guess that’s where I’m having trouble. Where would I force an exit with 0? Would it be something like this:

Exit-Script -ExitCode=“0”

appreciate your time.

Chris

Exit-Script -ExitCode=“0” exits the script and returns 0 regardless of where you specify it.

Hello Everyone,

Can someone help me with below exit code,

“[Pre-Installation] :: SentinelLabs,Inc._SentinelAgent_21.6.1072_EN_01 Installation completed with exit code [7].”

where as this machine was stuck at Status “Error” , but not showing in “Success” status.

Hi Vkyath, Please post your question as a new post.

FYI: Please include some of the code that you think caused your error (IOW What is the code in the Pre-Installation section of your Deploy-Application.ps1 script. Also the exit code 7 is not a PSADT exitcode but more likely an error from whatever you were trying to do in the Pre-Installation section.
