SCCM application stuck on random application during OSD

Question

We are using task sequence to deploy Windows 11 and applications to our laptops. The OS installation process works perfectly, but the task sequence will stick on application installation steps. Sometimes it gets stuck on application A, and sometimes it could be another application B. Eventually the task sequence fails because of timeout. Any help will be appreciated!

Answer 1

Hi,

Hope everything is going well.

1,Kindly check the smsts.log, appdiscovery.log, appenforce.log and locationservices.log to see if there is any further information.

2,We can try to put a little pause after the Setup Windows & ConfigMgr step, for example add "Run a command line" -step with command "ping localhost -n 60".

Also let the task sequence install drivers first and install applications after.

3,This issue might be related to cache size for client. We can try to add a powershell step before the application install step to increase the cache size.

4,Are the laptops joined domain correctly? Please make sure you have added correct network driver. If the client doesn't have correct network driver and valid IP address, the post installation task, for example joining domain and installing application may get failed.

Hope my answer could help you. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do feel free to contact me.

Best regards,

Simon
