Status: offline 		I am migrating our enterprise Vista deployment from SMS to SCCM.  The existing deployments are working great, but we are retiring SMS in a month.

I have a role called "All Machines 4.1" which should install several applications.  The problem is, these apps are not getting installed, and it doesn't look like they are even being called.  In SMS these got installed during ZTIPACKAGES, but I don't even see that running in SCCM.  The "Install Software" task is enabled, with "Continue on error" and "If an application installation fails, continue installing other applications in the list" both enabled.

Here are some snippets from my BDD.log:
--

I should mention that these packages have been migrated from SMS to SCCM, the IDs are correct, etc.  The last log line I posted is a warning message.  I see a double backslash, "C:\_SMSTaskSequence\WDPackage\Control\\Unattend.xml wasn't found, unable to merge" and I'm wondering what's going on there?

The machine joins our domain and otherwise is functional.  I just can't get any of the applications defined in that role to fire off.  Is that error with merging Unattend.xml the root of my problem?

Status: offline 		When you say you migrated things, did you capture a new OS .WIM image file or are you using your previous one from SMS 2003? If I rememebr right you need to capture a new .WIM image file with SCCM and can't reuse the old SMS one...

Also, if this software is to be installed and every single machine, how about using the Add | General | Install Software task sequence item to install the packages instead of a role? You make it sound like they go on all your machines so I thought I'd toss that out there...

Status: offline 		Yes, captured a new WIM.  It is being deployed just fine, custom scripts are running, admins are being configured, it is joining the domain, etc., but it's just not running the ZTIPACKAGES phase.  I have to believe it's because of the double-backslash I noted above, but I cannot figure out how to tell where that is coming from.

Add | General | Install Software task sequence items would obviously be a way to work around the issue, but I'm not interested in a workaround, I'm interested in getting things working as they should.  We have packages that get installed on all machines as well as packages that get installed on certain models.  All of those are a functions of the roles in the Deployment Workbench database, since a machine can fall under multiple roles.

I have someone at Microsoft from the MDT2008 team looking at this now.  I'll post an update when I have something to add.
