Hi,
I'm trying to deploy a task sequence to bare metal computer that I have imported to our SCCM configuration. This is what I have done so far:
- I pre staged the computer in a Collection that I have created and advertised the task sequence to (and made it available to PXE and Boot Media). The pre staged computer is
- Checked that WDS / PXE Service Point is running on the SCCM server.
- Ensured that the task sequence is actually advertised by right-clicking the computer in the collection and selecting Properties > Advertisements.
However when it comes time to PXE boot the PXE boot aborts, and the SCCM server reports the following message:
The SMS PXE Service Point intructed device to boot normally since it has no PXE advertisement assigned.
Device MAC Address:2C:27:D7:36:A5:E2 SMBIOS GUID:B5F91000-A7B6-11E0-0000-2C27D736A5E2.
Now, from the reading that I have done, when importing a computer, I shouldn'tneed to enter the GUID along with the MAC / Hostname, but it is good practice to. I am confused however as to which one to use. Logic tells me I should be using the one listed in the error message above, but that does not seem to work :(
Currently, I there are two different ID's that match the 'GUID' format, which oneshould I be using? And can anyone explain the differences between each?
From BIOS, there is a hard coded UUID of: B5F91000-A7B6-11E0-0000-2C27D736A5E2
At the PXE boot screen, the GUID is listed as: 0010F9B5-B6A7-E011-00002-C27D736A5E2
The SMS Unique Identifier is: GUID:02345B43-82A4-44CD-8D18-08C7D83E1759
We have previously used RIS to deploy our OS's to out PC's, I have had to feel my way through this system, and am still learning a lot each day - so please bear with me :)
Many Thanks.
