Background: I have an advertised program that runs a user interface window that allows them to postpone a deployment or run it immediately. When they choose to run the deployment, a VB script uses WMI to off a TS advertisement. All source files, scripts, programs reside in on single package. The first "user interface" program advertisement is set to "Download all contents locally before starting task sequence". The task sequence advertisement is set to "Download content from distribution point and run locally".
The problem: This is working in 80% of the cases but fails for the rest. The script fires up the task sequence advertisement but fails immediately. These are the events from smsts.log:
