hello,
I’m trying to run the toolkit directly from a SCCM 2012 distribution point without downloading the package to the client cache.
When run, the advertisment starts but then nothing happens, I can see an Deploy-Application.exe process in the task manager on the computer, but there is no logs created or anything, it just sits here untill the timeout occur.
If I run the Deploy-application directly from the server by opening the SCCM share it does works
If I create an new sccm program (same package) bypass the deploy-application.exe and just run the program under \files directly (still from the DP, no download in the sccm cache) it also works
If I configure the advertisement to not run from the DP and putting in the sccm client cache it works.
I’ve tried pretty much anything in the “program” property of the sccm package (run with admin rights, tick or not the “allow users to interact with this program”) but what set me off is that it appears to start but no logs or anything are created.
psappdeploy script version is 3.6.8.
At this point I’m a little lost and I don’t know what to do next, any suggestion or idea would be appreciated, thanks
Sounds to like an issue with the powershell exeution policy.
What’s your powershell execution policy on the target device? Check by running get-executionpolicy in a console. If running RemoteSigned (which is recommended), you will have to consider signing your scripts and/or set the CM Client to bypass the execution policy in your Client Settings (Administration \ Client Settings \ <open the properties of your client settings> \ Computer Agent \ PowerShell execution policy).
Also I believe the CM client sets up a temporary (hidden) mapped network drive when doing the approach you’re trying out. Could it perhaps be permissions on the share? All your CM client devices should have at least read & execute on the NTFS permissions on the share. I’ve never had to utilize this approach though so don’t take my advice for granted.
log on local admin, open network share with my domain account (modify rights) psappdeploy.exe won’t start
error (warning) in powershell log (Sorry it’s in french but should be easy enough to understand)

then I’ve tried to
log on with this previous domain account, open network share, start psappdeploy , then it runs correctly from the DP
the execution policy for his machine were set to “undefined” for all the scopes
and are set to “bypass” for the configmgr clients
when running from SCCM it will run under the context system, so maybe that’s the issue.
May be worth it to try to run the program as the logged on user instead of admin rights, but that won’t be usefull in my case.
I have same problem (GPO put powershell restrictions to RemoteSigned) and I solve it with a command file taht create link. Cmd file has been add in SCCM package, in folder that content Deploy-application.exe
In SCCM program command line, I launch
InstallFromDP.cmd Deploy-Application.exe -DeploymentType “Install” -DeployMode “Silent”
Command file InstallFromDP.cmd is :

Navigate to the location of your PSExec.exe and type in psexec.exe -s -i powershell
(3.5. In the powershell console windows, type in $env:username or whoami to ensure that the process is running the process in system context)
In the powershell console window, navigate to the UNC share of you package and verify access
Following those steps will tell you if the machine (NT Authority\SYSTEM) has access to the share and will clear out any permissions related question.
