I found the following post and have been using it to install SCEP for one of my clients.

http://features.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2014/01/10/cheerios-gmo/

Can anyone point me to the  valid retun code values for each of the exes?

scepinstall.exe

mpam-fe.exe

nis_full.exe

It seems a value of 50 is being returned in the report Deployment status.

Is this a vaild way to update the SCEP client on machines that will not be added to the domain?

I think you posted the wrong link above.

A blog post on the subject from the product team is at http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2012/04/12/operating-system-deployment-and-endpoint-protection-client-installation.aspx.

My bad.   That is the correct link.  Plus i just figured out my issues was a  condidtion i had on the task not the task itself.

http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2012/04/12/operating-system-deployment-and-endpoint-protection-client-installation.aspx

Otherwise this works well.

I removed the condidtion associated with the task and i am not able to get it to run successfully.

What logs should I be looking at to determine the issue.

I have laso tried this another way by using the Configuration Manager package default in SCCM 

run a command line Named it Update SCEP

commandline is 

scepinstall.exe /s /q /policy "ep_defaultpolicy.xml"

I use the Configuration Manager Client Package.

This seems more elelgant than creating your own package plus i wanted to see if the default policy was the issue.

This is the error I got from the Task Sequenc Report.

what other logs do I need to check?

Any chance that you are running that step before Setup Windows and Configmgr? Or that you are trying to run an x64 exe on an x86 OS?

No it is the last step.  The image x64.  I'll check the version of scep.

Scep Install is version 4.1.522.0.  i don't see weather it is x86

I am able to replicate this issue in a test environment.  So I am probably doing something consistently wrong. I found this info in the smsts.log after a reboot when the task sequence fails

I am able to install Adobe as an application in the same task sequence.  just before.

I have tried  a few variations of the command line to see if that makes a difference.  None have been successful.

Has anybody done this successfully?  Was the machine added to the domain or not?

 

So this has gotten me 2/3 of the way there.  I can run the scep install and the mpam-fe.exe update.

When I run the nis_full.exe i get the following in the smstslog.
