hey, I got things working and my OSD is doing ZTI and pushing out software.  Miracle happen.  But now I have a new challenge.  I have used customsettings.ini to install a list of core packages that I want installed on all systems.  Here's the pertinent sections: 

[Settings]
Priority=All, CSettings, CPackages, CApps, CAdmins, CRoles, Locations, LSettings, LPackages, LApps, LAdmins, LRoles, MMSettings, MMPackages, MMApps, MMAdmins, MMRoles, RSettings, RPackages, RApps, RAdmins, Default
Properties=MyCustomProperty
[Default]
OSInstall=Y
UserDataLocation=NONE
ResourceRoot=\\server.fqdn.com\distribution$
OSDNEWMACHINENAME=%COMPUTERNAME%
SQLServer=server.fqdn.com
SQLShare=SMSClient
[ALL]
Packages1=GRP00001-Install
Packages2=BOS00029-Setup
Packages3=BOS00017-Per-system unattended
Packages4=GRP00015-Per-system unattended
Packages5=BOS00032-Per-system unattended
Packages6=GRP00011-Per-system unattended
Packages7=GRP00016-Per-system unattended


So, things fly along, I install my OS, and while restoring the user state, it seems to hang.  I'm not doing any user state restore, it's hanging while instaling the apps listed above from SMS.  The first 2 apps load fine (packages1 and 2) but then it hangs.  I can seem to install one or two packages via SMS, and I can also seem to deploy apps via the MDT application process, but if I go with more than just a couple packages via SMS, it hangs.  Anyone have a clue why?  My local SMSDP has packages on the C and D so the shares are different for different packages, could that be it?  I would think SMS would query and ask where the distro point is for each package, but that's all i can think of.

Thanks for thoughts and ideas!

here's an excerpt from my ztipackages.log

it will hang there for hours, days if I let it.  I had a similar problem with a firewall package and thought it was hanging on the install, but I remove that package. This is just installing the MS remove hidden data tool, so it's not that big.

Are you sure that the first 2 packages are installed correctly?

Never seen this behaviour..

Can you change the order of your packages? If the first 2 installing well maybe it's application 3 that is causing the problems?

Also, I always used following syntax:

PACKAGES001=XXX00001:Install ( : instead off -) Don't know if this will change something but you at least I would give it a try.

Status: offline 		Turned out one of the packages was hanging in a loop of some type.  I just happened to discover it by individualy running each package and finding out what was going on.  The naughty package would just stick, until I made some changes to it's installer command line.

One would think software would do what i want it to do, not what I tell it to do.   Geeeezzz....
