Anyone use Microsoft SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) in their daily job? Uncle Google doesn't have this answer for me.

I'm using its features to push-distribute software installs to client systems on the network.

I create PACKAGE A, create a distribution, make an advertisement, and it starts on the target system.

But PACKAGE A has errors in the way it is distributed and it never actually installs. It also does not report back a failure, so it just “sticks” like it’s started installing and never finished. Client computer isn’t *doing* anything, the install program is not running. It's just that the logs show the installer started, but they don't show the installer exited.

I create PACKAGE B, create a distribution, make an advertisement, and…



But it’s not actually running at all! It just messed up and didn’t report back its failure.

There are no options I can find to make it “skip” or “continue” past the malfunctioning advertisement. So I delete all advertisements and packages and distributions for PACKAGE A. I see that PACKAGE A is now gone from the list of advertisements on that client. Try everything again, and…

Same error!

How do I make SCCM just ignore that one advertisement and go on to the next one?
