Answer 1

Hi Allen Liu,
Thanks for your answer. Please let me know how to delete the DEPLOYMENT of these applications.

I ran the below command
gwmi -Namespace root/ccm/policy/machine/actualconfig -Class ccm_softwaredistribution | out-file readme.txt | notepad.exe readme.txt

Get the advertisement id like {CE671A08-D54A-44B9-9276-7E5A430ADF80}. Have not tried the below command

foreach($i in gwmi -Namespace root/ccm/policy/machine/actualconfig -Class ccm_softwaredistribution -Filter “ADV_AdvertisementID=’{CE671A08-D54A-44B9-9276-7E5A430ADF80}‘”){$i.delete()}

How are you performing the deployment?

Monitor cas.log and AppEnforce.log

Something similar happened to me and I had the wrong line of command.

Hi,

Thank you for coming Microsoft Q&A forum.

You may need to check ContentTransferManager.log to see the error message for details.
And now you may try to delete the DEPLOYMENT of these applications and the next Machine Policy Cycle (60 minutes by default) will remove from the Client Software Center, or you may try to manually run the Machine Policy Retrieval & Evaluation Cycle or User Policy Retrieval & Evaluation Cycle of Configuration Manager properties from control panel. Then re-deploy the application again.
