need help with a problem related to the system center
This problem started after the September database server update. I can't access the system center interface to view reports, see devices, check updates, track device status, etc. When I try to open it, I see the attached image. Has anyone else experienced this problem and resolved it? What is the solution for this issue?Enable Windows 10 Extended Security Update
Hi All, We are managing our Windows 10 workstation fleet using SCCM, with activation handled via KMS. Since we have not yet transitioned to Windows 11, we’ve purchased ESU licenses. Microsoft provides detailed guidance on activating ESU through various methods — including Intune, phone, Internet, and the Volume Activation Management Tool (VMAT) for clients without Internet access — which is very helpful. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/enable-extended-security-updates Does anyone know the best method to enable ESU for enterprise workstations using SCCM/KMS, or through any alternative approach? Thank you in advance.
Task Sequence Failing - Installing Application
I have an application that I'm trying to install, which requires license files to be copied over from a network share after installation. I have successfully done this by creating two separate applications within MECM and deployed them separately. However, I'd like to deploy this utilizing a task sequence so I can deploy the software application, and once completed, run the file copy to move over the license files I need. When doing this via a task sequence, it doesn't seem to work. The message in the console reads "The task sequence manager could not successfully complete execution of the task sequence". The messages I see in the Asset Message screen on the Deployment Status show a variety of messages: "The task sequence execution engine started execution of a task sequence" "The task sequence execution engine failed to install application that was specified in the 'Install Application' action" "The task sequence execution engine failed executing an action" "The task sequence execution engine aborted execution for a failure of an action" "The task sequence execution engine failed execution of a task sequence" I took a look at the SMTS log, and not much is really standing out to me that's helpful. I do see a couple of failure messages, but searching on this yields a lot of results, which don't appear to be related to my issue. I assume the messages are too generic to get me any great understanding: "<![LOG[Failed to create an instance of COM progress UI object. Error code 0x8000401a]LOG]!><time="16:14:35.364+240" date="04-28-2025" component="InstallApplication" context="" type="2" thread="2988" file="clientui.cpp:336">" "<![LOG[Install application action failed: 'SALT 20'.

The only failure/error messages I'm seeing appear to be benign I believe. One such is a failure to determine if the client is a peer source, failure to delete a directory in cache, which I believe has to do with peer cache not being enabled. I also see a message in the contentransfer log about failure to find or get a reg value for content, but again, not able to really determine what this means or how to continue tracking that. I've attached all relevant log files for reference.
