Team,

We have split our task sequence like T1 , T2 and T3 etc … and when ever the task sequence gets completed a txt file will be written on desktop saying the respective task sequence is completed. on few machines, T1 task sequence shows installing but technically it is completed

How can I check its completed and why its still showing as installing.

    Hi @SanthoshBasavarajappa-0776,

    Thanks for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    To check whether the task sequence is installed completely, we could view it on both the client and cm server.

    1. On the client, we could view SMSTS.log, it records task sequence activities.
    2. On CM server, go through the following path to view the status of the task sequence:
      Path: CM console > Monitoring > Deployments > right-click the deployment that you want to check > select View Status >
      117747-1.png
      In the Deployment Status screen, right-click your device under Asset Details and select More Details
      117720-2.png
      Then in the Status tab, if the task sequence is installed, we could see the massage like "The task sequence execution engine successfully completed a task sequence"
      117748-3.png

    Hope the above information can help you.

    The task sequence may complete but is it executing the task the writes the TXT file? If you don't have Continue on Error on your tasks or the correct return codes in the Options tab then if it runs into an error the task sequence will stop there. Sort the Status column by Execution Time and through it to see if it is running each line as expected.
