Return Codes : A successful install of most applications will result in a return code of either 0 or 3010 being generated. These return codes mean success or success pending reboot, respectively. In previous versions of Configuration Manager, if a return code other than these two is returned, then the application deployment is considered to have failed.
Depending on the software manufacturer, a return code other than 0 or 3010 may actually be informative about the state of a deployment other than simply indicating success or failure. The number of such applications is relatively small, but when encountered they can be frustrating because a successful install will appear to have failed.
The task sequence engine in Configuration Manager 2007 was the first place where administrators were able to account for exit code variations. In Configuration Manager 2012 this ability has been brought forward to Application Deployment as well, fully allowing administrators to define what specific exit codes from an application actually mean and responding accordingly when reporting status.
