ConfigMgr Edge Chromium Unmatched Exit Code (1) Execution Failed | SCCM

by

Let’s try to fix the edge chromium deployment error. The following is the error Edge Chromium Unmatched Exit Code (1) Is Considered An Execution Failure. The production version of the Microsoft Edge browser was released on 15th January 2020.

I used the default option (using \Software Library\Overview\Microsoft Edge Management) in SCCM to deploy the Edge Chromium version. Microsoft recommends using the Edge stable version of chromium-browser as the default browser.

An alternate method of installing Microsoft Edge Chromium is to deploy the Microsoft Edge Chromium Browser using SCCM ConfigMgr. You might need to use group policy to define the channel and all the other configurations of Edge Chromium.

Problem Statement

I got an error when deploying the Edge Chromium version of the browser to Windows 10 devices. The software centre showed a failed error message.

Troubleshooting Edge Chromium

Let’s try to troubleshoot Microsoft Edge Chromium deployment failure-related issues.

Manual Try

I tried to run the script manually and find more details about the failure of edge deployment. I got the following error: “cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system.”

This error translates to the PowerShell execution policy being set to undefined!

PS C:\Windows\ccmcache\8> .\Install-Edge.ps1
.\Install-Edge.ps1 : File C:\Windows\ccmcache\8\Install-Edge.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system.

Client Policy – Computer Agent

I confirmed that the client setting – Computer agent – PowerShell Execution Policy is set to All Signed.

Edge Deployment Script is Signed

Make sure that the edge chromium deployment script is signed.

Client Setting Policy – Not Applied

Does it seem the SCCM client setting PowerShell execution policy is not getting applied to the Windows 10 client?

The policy still shows as undefined even though I set the PowerShell execution policy as Signed.

Update Script

I added a new line to the Microsoft Edge Chromium browser script called Install-Edge.ps1 and saved it.

  • It didn’t help to fix the issue.

Update Content

Redistribute the content of the edge application. Navigate to \Software Library\Overview\Application Management\Applications

  • Click on Microsoft Edge – Deployment Types – Edge X64 Default Deployment Type.
  • Right-click and Select Update Content.

Changed Command Line

Navigate to \Software Library\Overview\Application Management\Applications. Select the properties of the deployment – Edge X64 Default Deployment Type.

  • Click on the Programs tab and change the command (the installation program) as given below.
  • I tried to add a PowerShell execution policy to AllSigned and Bypass. However, it didn’t work!
powershell -File ".\Install-Edge.ps1" -ExecutionPolicy AllSigned -MSIName "MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi" -ChannelID "{56eb18f8-b008-4cbd-b6d2-8c97fe7e9062}" -DoAutoUpdate "False"

Let’s check the steps that I performed to fix the issue. This should be treated as a workaround solution. Ideally, the client setting should take care of the PowerShell execution policy.

PowerShell Script to Enable Execution Policy

Create a script to change the PowerShell Policy (More detailed guide here).

  • Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned -Force
  • Run the script against a device collection as mentioned above.

Windows 10 Client – Results

Run the following PowerShell command to check the results:

Command: Get-ExecutionPolicy -List

Check the following Scope Execution Policy below.

Re-Run Microsoft Edge Application

  • Re-run the Microsoft Edge Application from the Software Center.
  • Check the log AppEnforce.log
Executing Command line: "C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -File ".\Install-Edge.ps1" -MSIName "MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi" -ChannelID "{56eb18f8-b008-4cbd-b6d2-8c97fe7e9062}" -DoAutoUpdate "False" with user context

The deployment failed again.

I’m still trying to determine the real issue here. When I executed the command manually on the device, I couldn’t reproduce it.

  2. Anoop Sir,

    I tried this one and working

    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File “.\Install-Edge.ps1” -ExecutionPolicy AllSigned -MSIName “MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi” -ChannelID “{56eb18f8-b008-4cbd-b6d2-8c97fe7e9062}” -DoAutoUpdate “False”

  5. It works for me from SCCM with:
    powershell -File “.\Install-Edge.ps1” -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -MSIName “MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi” -ChannelID “{56eb18f8-b008-4cbd-b6d2-8c97fe7e9062}” -DoAutoUpdate “False”

    Reply

    • BIG Thank you Ace you’re a life saver 🙂 removing the -DoAutoUpdate “False” from the script fixed it for me.

  7. Yes. Getting rid of the parameter -DoAutoUpdate form the commandline does the Job. When you are looking into the Script there ist no Paramter like that:

    param
    (
    [parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]$MSIName,

    [parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
    [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()]$ChannelID
    )

    # Registry value name is in the format “Update where ChannelID is the GUID

    Does Micro$oft event Test things bevor rolling out to Production?!

  9. I use a template PS script for installing applications. In order to get this script to work I borrowed from that script. I believe the final issue was that the install line in the original Edge script could not find the MSI file. With my additions to the script and the execution policy bypass as indicated above, it works as intended.

    This is what I added:

    # assert location of installer
    $installerPath = $PSScriptRoot + “\” + $MSIName
    # Log file name
    $msiDescription = ‘Microsoft_Edge’
    # build log file path
    $logFile = $env:SystemRoot + ‘\PackageLogs\’ + $msiDescription + ‘.log’
    # List of arguments
    $argList = ‘/I ‘ + “””$installerPath””” + ‘ /qn /L* ‘ + “””$logFile”””
    # Magic happens here
    Start-Process msiexec.exe -ArgumentList $argList -Wait
