I've been researching this problem for some time now and I can't figure it out, maybe someone here can help me out? I'm trying to deploy an OS image and I keep getting the error: "The requested software cannot be located. The system might be in the process of transferring these files. Try again later, or if this operation continues to fail after several attempts, please contact your administrator or helpdesk operator.".
I verfied that the distribution points have been set and I can access the network shares from the computer I'm trying to reimage. I checked the CAS.log and "No ContentRequest with the given handle found" is highlighted when I open with SMSTrace.
Some system info:
This is a brand new computer tha I am using for testing. It has all of the factory settings so there are no duplicate SIDs or GUIDs like others have encounters
Server 2008 R2, SCCM 2007 R2. Site system status is all green.
Component status shows critical status for these:
SMS_Inventory_Data_Loader
SMS_MP_Control_Manager
SMS_Software_Inventory_Processor
No errors, but lots of warnings.
