Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager - deploy application Net Framework 4.7.2

Question

Trying to deploy NET Framework 4.7.2 on some servers (Windows 2016 Standard). The package is downloading to the ccmcache folder, but not silently running. We've successfully deployed older NET Framework versions using the offline installer.

The command line switches look correct:

ndp472-kb4054530-x86-x64-allos-enu.exe /q /norestart

Has something changed for deploying applications on Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager 2107 ?

Thanks

Answer 1

Have you tested the cmdline using the local system account? https://www.recastsoftware.com/resources/how-to-access-the-local-system-account/

Hi @Albert Pang ,

1, In my experience, most people deploy Net Framework 4.7.2 by deploying packages. If so, please check your execmgr.log. According to the official article, we need to restart the computer after installed this update. I have done this test. The log shows that a restart is required to install this update. Information Exit code 3010 is a Microsoft exit code that indicates a process has operations pending and that a reboot is required to complete the process.

2, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 (Offline Installer) support for Windows Server 2016 (version 1709), What OS version are you using? Otherwise, we can download and upgrade the server via the following link.
Microsoft Update Catalog

Answer 3

Ahh correct, a restart is needed to create the NET Framework 4.7.2 registry key to confirm install compliance. Thanks

In Software Center, the Application status showed as Pending Retry or Failed Retry . . . not sure why.

I selected the Application & hit the Retry button to manually retry the installation which was successful. The Application then displayed a Restart button.
