Hi there,

I stumbled accross this post as we’re trying to deploy CRM via SCCM and get the -2 exit code problem. Ive tried using your script but for some reason wscript stays active in task manager and continually runs causing the job to eventually fail also.

because im no vbscript expert, can you point me in the right direction as to what needs to be done with the code above for the script to work correctly?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
Do you have any more information about what hangs? Here are a few things to try:

Do you know the VBscript functions correctly when not run in SCCM?
On the server hosting setupclient.exe can you see the user accessing the shared resource?
Can you see the process running in memory?
From a “run as” prompt running with the SCCM install account does the vbscript work?

Hope that helps as a starting point for you…

Ben

I am installing CRM 4 from SCCM with a vbscript which calls all of the components. i have it set to install as an administrator for that program, but when it calls the setupclient.exe it hangs. Any ideas as to why that would happen? If I log in as an admin and browse through explorer to the location that sccm is calling and run the script, everything runs fine. So it must have to do with this being installed by System.

Hi,
Thanks made the changes – the site is trying to convert the chars into html tags as I paste the code in.

Once again sorry for that!

Ben.

Your code has some syntax errors in it:

&
should simply be
&

and
<
should be
<

VBSCRIPT does not recognise semi-colons.

But everything else worked fine for us.

Thanks.
