OSD on laptop with multiple disks

$
0
0

Just got in some Dell Precision M3800 laptops.  I've got OSD working on every other model desktop and laptop we have but someone decided we need 2 harddrives in the M3800s.  One is SSD and the other is standard.  Unfortunately for me, the awesome people at Dell put the SSD as disk 1.  My goal is to get the OS installed on the SSD but it's not working as I'd planned. 

If I format both drives in the task sequence as primary partitions, it will assign C: to disk 0 and D: to disk 1.  I thought that if I reversed the sequence of those tasks, I could get it to assign C: to disk 1 but it will start with D: and then move on to disk 0 which it gives the C: partition.

The only way I've been able to get C: assigned to the partition on disk 1 is to format disk 0 as an extended partition, but once the sequence gets to the apply OS step, it bombs outwith (0x80070032)

I've tried using the variables and that doesn't work.  I've tried pointing to disk 1, partition 1 and that doesn't work either.  I can get it to successfully build if I set both partitions as primary and apply the OS to the next available partition, but it loads the OS on the non-SSD drive.

I'm out of ideas to get this to work.  Anyone have any ideas?

SCCM OS Deployment: Windows PE reboots without error

Hello,

I have a SCCM server to deploy and capture a Windows Vista image.
I follwed this manual: http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=512

When starting the client, it starts loading the files, says it is initializing the hardware (it detects the network card), then initializing the network connections. En then, the computer reboots!

Someone who can help me?

Thanks.

Retain Static IP Address entered in WinPe Boot

$

Hi...  I am using Boot media to start my Windows Server OSD.  I have no DHCP in the data center and can not use PXE.  Anyway, I have my techs boot to the SCCM Boot Media (SCCM 2007 R3 SP2).  The techs will enter a valid production IP address on one of the 6 NICs.  They then hit F8 and ping the SCCM site site to ensure that they have network connectivity.  Then they click NEXT in the wizard and are presented a menu of what server operating system to deploy. (I have a serveral TS Adv to unknown computers)

The installation starts just fine...  The hard disk is formated, The Os image is copyed, etc.  After the system boots into the real OS for the first time, the IP address information is lost.  This causes the remainder task sequence events to fail.    (Note: when I test my TS in a lab environment with DHCP, everything completes normally and my Os works 100%).

So, I was wondering if there was a way of retaining the WinPE manually entered IP address through out the deployment? 

1) WinPE phase: Server tech enters a static ip address via the config button because there is no DHCP available in the server vlan.

2) Image is applied

3) As a first step right after the task sequence is restarted I want to retain the IP entered in step 1 WinPe and apply it to the OS. 

Is this possible and are the detailed steps to implement?

 

Thanks

Hi All,

I'm having a slight issue with the below task sequence I use (optional advertisement) which captures the data correctly reboots to windows PE and then when attempts to install the OS (set to next available partition) it fails with no error log, or at least I cant find one.

Below is the task sequence - you will see it uses MDT this is the plugin which works well however this just wont deploy when attempting to install OS (sneaky feeling its something to do with the BDEDRIVE)

Many Thanks for your help in advance

Pinning Programs to the Taskbar via unattend.xml

$

Trying to pin the following programs to the taskbar buy adding them in the "amd64_Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup__neutral"of the specialize pass of unattend.xml file used by SCCM\OSD in the "Apply Operating System' step.

-<TaskbarLinks>

<Link0>%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office\Microsoft Word 2010.lnk</Link0> <Link1>%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office\Microsoft Excel 2010.lnk</Link1> <Link2>%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office\Microsoft Outlook 2010.lnk</Link2>

</TaskbarLinks>

 

I edited the unattend file using WSIM tool and every other setting I applied  using the file has worked but these just dont show up on the taskbar.

Weird thing is if i manually pin say Word for example  to the taskbar after the OSD deployment is complete and hover the mouse over it it will display as Microsoft Word 2010 (2) as if it is the 2nd time the program has been pinned to the taskbar even though you can only see one of them. same for Excel and Outlook but if I add say Access it will not have the (2) after it

So it's like the settings from the unttend file are working somewhat as Win7 thinks there is already a shortcut there but they are just not displaying...

I've seen others saying this can only be done when syspreping and call the unattend at that time but if that is true why is it in the "amd64_Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup__neutral" Components of WSIM?

PXE OSD not working after moving SCCM database

$

We had our primary sccm site and SQL server setup on the same Hyper-V virtual WinServ08 x64 server.  Obviously, that server was getting overworked, so we moved the site DB using the technet guide.  That seems to have worked OK, but since doing so, PXE OSD is not working.  On a separate but related note, the day before the DB move, the PXE self-signed cert expired, so I extended it and that seemed to resolve the problem, before the the DB move.

Now, when I boot to PXE, I get this message:  "An error occured while retrieving policy for this computer (0x80004005)." then the PC reboots.

In smspxe.log, I have this error (don't know if this error was present before the problem or not):  "ailed to read PXE settings. The system cannot find the file specified. (Error: 80070002; Source: Windows)"

In smsts.log on the PC booting to PXE, I have this error:  "No MP Certificates."

I'm pretty much still a noob to OSD and PXE, as we hired consultants to setup the system for us, so please be detailed in your responses.  I truly appreciate any assistance.

SCCM OSD Task Sequences Failing - 0x80070002 or 0x80004005

$

Hoping that someone can offer me some advice on an intermitant issue we are having when deploying Windows 7 to various devices using a Zero Touch approach.

The Task Sequences had been completing successfully each time until one day they just started throwing up errors.

They seemed limited to either 0x80070002, 0x80004005 or HTTP 401 and pointed toward the Network Access Account. We ensured the account had share and NTFS permissions, was unlocked in AD and that the password was correct. This, to us anyway, kinda ruled out permissions as the issue especially because it was intermitant.

We are experiencing problems with Windows 7 client PCs dropping out of DNS and wondered if this was perhaps an issue. We enabled command prompt in our Boot Images and the PC is picking up a valid IP address and can communicate with the SCCM box no problem (and vice versa from SCCM - once the WinPE firewall is disabled). Even at the point of failure the IP config of the client seems okay.

The problem is also intermitant. We can run a complete OSD TS one minute then it will fail running the same TS on the same client PC moments later with the same issues - unable to connect to the DP for package X.

We are running ConfigMgr 2007 R3 with Advanced Client 4.00.6487.2000.

Thanks in advance for any feedback : )

Unable to update boot image - corrupt boot Image?

Hi,

I tryed to "Build and Capture" a WinXP. The Setup starts with the Tasks, creating Volume, formatting and installing the os is ok. But joining the domain and capturing the image I havent seen - where can I find the respective Log files?

 

After this I assumed that can be a problem with the lan drivers, so I tryed to update the boot image. This failed. To check If the update process dont have a general failure I removed the drivers and checked the "enable command support" in the boot image.

Then I will update that image without any additional drivers - it failed also. So I will check the files. I found two wim images in the folder given by the image properties. a boot.wim and a boot.ZMH00001.wim.

I'm wondering about the file size the...

boot.wim is 102 MB and the

boot.ZMH00001.wim is 107 MB

In the properties of the Image-GUI the size is given with 283.97MB. and if I will reload this properties the command failed.

 

I get the following errors if I will update the distribution point:

 

Error: Boot image to update:
 Microsoft Windows Vista PE (X86)

Error: Actions to perform:
 Add ConfigMgr binaries
 Enable Windows PE command line support
 Add drivers

Error: Failed to import the following drivers:

Error: The wizard detected the following problems when updating the boot image.
 Failed to insert OSD binaries into the mounted WIM file
 The ConfigMgr Provider reported an error.: ConfigMgr Error Object:

 {
  Description = "Failed to insert OSD binaries into the WIM file";
  ErrorCode = 2152205056;

  Line = 3822;
  ObjectInfo = "CSspBootImagePackage:Stick out tonguereRefreshPkgSrcHook";

How can I fix the boot image, where can I find the original WIM file to import?

 

Thanks for your help

Stuck with trying to create USB Task Sequence Media

$

I am trying to create USB Task Sequence Media. I am currently using SCCM 2007 R3 and the server is virtualised in an external datacentre. I have no control over the network between the datacentre and the workstation from where I am working. I have also been told in no circumstances can a USB drive be directly plugged into the VM Host.

I have been tasked with creating USB Task Sequence media however this process fails with 'The hash value is not correct' on random packages (Including driver packages that do not have binary replication turned on) every time. Please note that this is a different package every time and I have done the whole, update, refresh thing which does not fix my issue. I am running the wizard locally on a Windows 7 computer using the Admin Console connected via Ethernet. It fails only on larger packages e.g.>1GB like Microsoft Office, or Driver packages or the WIM file.

Please note, I can make Task Sequence Media successfully to an ISO on the server itself without error.

I have tried the following:

  • Different host hardware
  • Uninstalled antivirus
  • Deleting and recreating all the packages in TS

Is there something 'outside the box' I can do to get a USB created? E.g. build this manually? Run from a cmd line? Set to continue on error? Don't verify files?


Injecting Mass-Storage (SATA) drivers into Boot Image for SCCM OSD

$

I'm looking for some pointers regarding adding Mass Storage drivers into a Boot Image
We use SCCM 2007, integrated with MDT 2010 for Operating System Deployment. This has been up & running fine for approx one year.
We have recently got some tower units in for our CAD team (Lenovo S30-0568), which need a SATA driver injected (Intel C600 series chipset SATA AHCI Controller); the intended operating system is Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
We have a working Win7 pro 64-bit which deploys successfulyl to other models. However, any deployment to the S30 fails immediately when the "format and partition disk" step begins. Using a command prompt and the "diskpart" command shows that there are no hard disks visible when WinPE boots.
We've confirmed the correct SATA driver from going thru the manual CD build, so we now know what driver to use to make the drives visible
These drivers are already imported into our SCCM environemnt. I've added these to our boot-image by selecting the appropriate driver under "Operating System Deployment/Drivers", right-clicking and selecting "add or remove drivers to boot images", as we have done previously with NIC drivers.
However, the Task Sequence still fails on the "Format..." step on the S30s, and "diskpart" is still showing the error "there are no hard disks present".
I found this link detailing adding mass-storage drivers on MDT:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/850c50f6-505c-4a64-bb2e-5aa4f19e0e93/mdt-2010-not-able-to-deploy-windows-xp-to-include-mass-storage-drivers
However, we are using MDT with SCCM OSD.
Do I need to do anything in addition to the "add drivers to boot image" to fully install the selected driver?
Are there any technet pages etc outlining correct methods for adding mass-storage drivers to boot-files using SCCM/OSD?
Can anyone think of any other reasons why the hard-disk on the S30 is not visible to WinPE?
(Note - I don't have any smsts.log file; the file obviously will not be saved as there is no disk for it to be saved to.)

Thanks

Deploying a Captured Windows 7 Enterprise Wim to VHD

Hi,

Im trying to "transfer" this implementation of Steady State http://blogs.technet.com/b/panosm/archive/2011/07/07/windows-7-steadystate-solution-simplified.aspx

from MDT to SCCM 2007. In MDT is working flawless

I'm almost able to do this by using Apply Operating system from an Original Installation source in my task sequence, By chosing Specific disk and partition and configure this to disk 1 and partition 1 (Just like in the original task sequence in MDT). It runs on hardware where the driver is known in Windows 7 but task sequence  fails when trying to Apply Driver Packages. I don't know if it get confused by C and D Drive.

Of course I would prefer to get this Work by using Apply Operating System from a captured Image (using the same Image as all our other computer) but when I try to modify the task sequence I experience something like this

Is SCCM the right Solution ?

$

Hi,

I've a customer with a overall 900 clients active, this customer have request to us to install, reinstall and change the user's client, approx 140 client over the year.

We need to have the best performance (time of preparation and deploy) to reduce costs, so we evaluate the possible to use a SCCM infrastracture to deploy the OS, sw and configuration.

The problems are:

  • the customer can ask to us to install and reinstall, many (about 50 ) hw different model (install new pc, and reinstall older pc due hw or os failure).
  • The customer does not have a standard on OS and OFFICE, we have from wxp,Vista, w7.... to w8.1 (some x64 os also) and from office 2003 to 2013 (std, pro and h&B)
  • The Customer does not have an Enterprise Agreement so we have a Licensing Jungle between box sw, open licensing, and so on.

I think that SCCM is not the correct choice because the HW situation, Licensing situation, NON STANDARD situation can defeat any SCCM feature that it can give us a plus.

I think that, with this situation, we not have a solution that is not the use of OEM OS preinstalled and a batch to install office, std software anche configuration. This solution can give us the right balance of freeedom.

Any suggestions ?

thanks in advance

Marco


SCCM 2007 - Standalone Media creation for HP 840 G1

Good Afternoon. I'm relatively new to SCCM and I was tasked to create standalone media (DVD) for a POC with an HP 840 G1. I am able to create the .iso file and have all of the current drivers in the task sequence, but when I run the DVD (via USB DVD Drive) I receive the "windows could not configure one or more system components. To install Windows, restart the computer and the restart the installation process"

I'm pretty sure it's a driver issue, but does anyone have any experience with this or possibly a better troubleshooting method to figure out which driver it is?
