I am migrating our enterprise Vista deployment from SMS to SCCM.  The existing deployments are working great, but we are retiring SMS in a month.

I have a role called "All Machines 4.1" which should install several applications.  The problem is, these apps are not getting installed, and it doesn't look like they are even being called.  In SMS these got installed during ZTIPACKAGES, but I don't even see that running in SCCM.  The "Install Software" task is enabled, with "Continue on error" and "If an application installation fails, continue installing other applications in the list" both enabled.

Here are some snippets from my BDD.log:

I should mention that these packages have been migrated from SMS to SCCM, the IDs are correct, etc.  The last log line I posted is a warning message.  I see a double backslash, "C:\_SMSTaskSequence\WDPackage\Control\\Unattend.xml wasn't found, unable to merge" and I'm wondering what's going on there?

The machine joins our domain and otherwise is functional.  I just can't get any of the applications defined in that role to fire off.  Is that error with merging Unattend.xml the root of my problem?
