Hi All,

I am in the phase building some laptops which is working fine. Seems once after the complete task sequence build, again it is starting to get in to LAN network and built once again.

Hope it should take harddisk if it reboots once task sequence is completed. Is there any settings i need to check for this. Please help


Regards, Pratap


PXE problem - \boot\BCD 0x0000098 does not contain a valid OS entry

I am setting up PXE on my SCCM 2012 server.  I have a seperate DHCP server running WDS(unconfigured).  I have DHCP option 66 and 67 set  (\boot\x86\wdsnbp.com).

I have PXE configured to recognize unknown computers.  The deployment assigned to the unknown computers collection.  And confirmed that the boot images are on the distribution point (only 1 distribution point in enviroment).  I do not have a SMSPXE.log on sccm server if that is any indication of anything.

My workstation boots PXE, I hit F12 and it sees the PXE server.

I get a b/w screen...

Windows boot Manager (Server IP : <IP of SCCM box> )

Windows has failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:

1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "Next."
3.  Click "Repair your computer."

If you do not have this disk, contact your system administrator or your computer
manufactuer for assistance.

File: \Boot\BCD
Status : 0x0000098
Info: The Windows Boot Configuration Data file does not contain a valid OS entry.

Any suggestions to what might be the issue?

Thanks,

Using the TS variable SMTSPostAction can you run MULTIPLE commands?

or just one?, I am really curious.

Can the SMSTSPostAction Variable only be used in an OSD

Or can it be used in non OSD tasks as well?

Provisioning BITLocker with Windows to Go via SCCM2012

Hello,

I am following this document http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj651035.aspx to provision Windows to go via Pre-Staging.

The instructions on what to put in the pre-start command is a little wooly, as best I can make out, I am pasting this directly in in prestart command window:

dim osd: set env = CreateObject(“Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment”)
dim logPath
logPath = env(“_SMSTSLogPath”)

env(“OSDBitLockerPIN”) = "password"

However, the task sequence falls flat when running the Bitlocker to go package, looking at the logs I see:

Failed to find Passphrase

I am running the package after the 'Configure Windows and SCCM Agent' step; OC the machine re-boots into windows here so I am not convinced it is the right place to call the package.

Can someone who has done this before give me sa quick hand please :)

Task Sequences - Powershell scripts and reboots

$
0
0

I'm running into an issue where, in my task sequence, everything goes fine until the last task. 

Of the last 3 tasks, the sequence goes:

  1. PS - name computer (ps script to rename the computer)
  2. Reboot
  3. PS - join domain (ps script to join domain).

However, the last one there returns an error. But I know the script works. 

The smstslog says "PowerShell is not installed". I'm not sure why that is? Do I need to run another task before this one runs? Or is it reverting back to WinPE environment instead of the Windows running environment?


Setting Execution Policy with Run Command Line, in two task sequences

$

Hello fellow CM community!

We are currently working on slowly migrating our SCCM 2007 environment to SCCM 2012. I am now faced with an odd issue that I did not formerly have in SCCM 2007.

Context:

- Task Sequence #1, deploys Windows 2008

- Task Sequence #2, deploys XenApp 6.5 and a bunch of applications required by our company

Issue: Setting my Powershell execution policy via Run Command Line in SCCM 2012 yields the following error message: 

CreateProcess failed. Code(0x80070002)
Command line execution failed (80070002)
Failed to execute command line 'X:\windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -command "Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned"' .
he system cannot find the file specified. (Error: 80070002; Source: Windows)
Install Software failed to run command line, hr=0x80070002

Now, here's where I lose it.

In SCCM 2007, with my Windows 2008 TS, I have:

Run Command Line
cmd.exe /c powershell -command Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Run Command Line
%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -command "&{Import-Module ServerManager;Add-WindowsFeature RSAT-ADCS}

Then, still in SCCM 2007, but in my XenApp 6.5 TS, I have another step that install Application-Server role with

Run Command Line
%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -command "&{Import-Module ServerManager;Add-WindowsFeature Application-Server}"

All that works FINE.

An EXACT, copy paste in SCCM 2012 doesn't work as it fails on the Application Server portion of my second TS.

My first thought was Execution Policy.

What happens when I add

Run Command Line
cmd.exe /c powershell -command Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Right before the Application Server step? Same issue. I have tried many versions. With cmd.exe /c, without it, with quotes, with the full path, etc. It seems like as soon as I run the same command line to set the execution policy a second time, it fails. But if I don't put the execution policy, the Application-Server role fails to install because of the Powershell restrictions.

What am I missing???? Any clues?

Installing application as a specific user during a task sequence

I have a silent install that only works correctly when installed as a user as it writes into the user's %APPDATA% folders.  I have to include it as part of a task sequence, but I'm not sure how to best approach this since task sequence applications are installed as a local system user.

Any suggestions?  Repackaging isn't an option.

Hi

Sometimes a reboot of the SCCM-server is needed.
Is there an easy way to see which task sequences are running (live) and/or applications deploying?

Please advise.

SCCM 2012 with MDT intergration OSD

$

Hi All,

I have the following scenario that I need assistance with:

SCCM 2012 with MDT integration. Our environment currently exists of Windows 7 machines with 2 partitions. We want to use SCCM 2012 and MDT 2013 integration to install Windows 8. We however want only one partition on the Windows 8 machines. The problem is that when we run the OSD task sequence from within the Win 7 OS, it does not repartition the 2 drives to one, but leave the partitions as is. How do we overcome this.

Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need any more information.

I am building my master image right now and the Administrator profile seems excessively large right now.

Has anyone built a windows 8.1 image yet how big is your Administrator Profile?



VBS script during task sequence issues

$

Hi,

I am trying to get AD extensionAttribute1 populated with a variable for the computer account during a task sequence.

I have created a variable called OSDTechnician on the collection, along with the variable OSDComputerName so that the technician enters the machine name and his domain name after selecting the task sequence in PE.

The script is running after the config manager setup step and rebooting into the non winpe image.

The script takes the OSDTechnician variable and 'should' update AD extensionAttribute1 for the machine with the OSDTechnician value. However, it remains blank.

The SMSTS log shows this:

Active Directory: The attribute syntax specified to the directory service is invalid.

Which, to me at least, shows that it passing a blank value.

However, if I run this in the task sequence using F8 and a runas with the domain account I have specified in the command line step, it works. Also, if i echo out the value it works too.

Here is the script I am using:

set env = CreateObject("Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment")
OSDTech = env("OSDTechnician")
OSDName = env("OSDComputerName")

SelectYourAttribute = "extensionAttribute1"
    'WriteToYourAttribute= "OSDTechnician"
    DebugMode = "No"

Set objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
    Set objComputer = GetObject("LDAP://" & objSysInfo.ComputerName)
   
   objComputer.Put SelectYourAttribute, OSDTech
        objComputer.SetInfo
   
    if DebugMode = "Yes" Then  
       ' MsgBox("Script has reached its end.")
    End If

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

At What Time Does Client Become Known In OSD?

$
0
0

I have an OSD task sequence which is deployed to unknown computers. This works fine as there is no listing in the console however for the software updates step I have a software update deployment targeted to unknown computers. This step comes a few steps after setup windows and configuration manager. My question is wouldn't there be a resource record at this time in the database/console since the client is installed by that step? Wouldn't the destination computer be "known" by now so that software update step wouldn't apply?

When during a task sequence does the destination computer go from being unknown to "known"?
