Dears, i'm trying to rename the computers during the OSD process to it's MAC addresses. i want to do it by SCCM only without MDT integration because we have SCCM SP1 and MDT 2012 and we're tending to deploy Windows 8.1. and we're alredy deploying Windows 8.1 with no issues. i'm using the following script: 

   

Set env = CreateObject("Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment")
Set ProgressUI = CreateObject("Microsoft.SMS.TsProgressUI")
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2") 
Set IPConfigSet = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT MACAddress FROM Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration " & "WHERE IPEnabled=true" )

ProgressUI.CloseProgressDialog  

For Each IPConfig In IPConfigSet
  env("OSDComputerName") = Left(Replace(IPConfig.MACAddress,":",""),12)
  WScript.Echo env("OSDComputername")

Next

and i'm using it in a  package after apply operating system step as shown in the following snapshot:

however the machine get named Minintxxxx and the step gives code 0 as a return code which means successfully completed.

any help please?

SCCM 2012 R2 OSD - Pre Provision Bit-Locker Drive Label Name Issues

June 20, 2014, 9:28 am

I am trying to image machines Pre-provisioned for BitLocker.  Everything works great in the Task Sequence except the Drive Label on Boot is "MININT-XXXXX" rather than the actual computer name.  This happens whether the computer is known or unknown.

The only other post regarding this issue I can find suggested changing the OSDComputerName variable name in the TS but that will not work because the hostname is set during the WinPE setup.

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/f9c6f565-e137-4c59-a8de-7314d9b88fe7/how-to-change-computername-on-bitlocker-pinrecovery-password-screen-drive-label?forum=mdt

I have tried to set the OSDComputerName variable during the Pre-Start and TS but the Drive Label always remains "MININT-XXXXX".

Any ideas?

no activity on smspxe.log and I am not getting very far when testing OS deployment

Hello and thanks for any help. I have a few OS deployment issues.

1. There is no activity on smspxe.log. This has been a problem for two weeks. I believe it is a symptom of trying to fix a bigger issue (#2)

2. I am trying to move us from SCE imaging to SCCM 2012. We had CM working at first but had to switch back. Now when I try to do a PXE boot, I see this message.

Recovery
Your PC needs to be repaired
The Windows Boot Configuration Data file from the PXE server does not contain a valid operating system entry. Ensure that the server has boot images installed for this architecture.

File:\Tmp\x86x64{BBD9AF6-E64E-41A9-840504118DB33B45}.bcd
Error code: 0xc0000098

I have tried these steps -  disable PXE on the DP (which is also the MP), remove WDS, I hid the remote install folder, restarted server, installed the WDS role. It wouldn't start so I did wdsutil initialize. Enabled PXE. Maybe important to note; before this the remoteinstall share was RemoteInstall. Now it is "REMINST".

I have boot images for both i386 and x64.

Thanks so much for any help.

DHCP SCOPE Option 67 string value for OS deployment

 I am completely new to OS Deployment and very less knowledge on dhcp. We are using SCCM2012 in our environment.  I am confused on  what should be the string value for DHCP 67 OPTION . Does the \ back slash make any difference when setting a string value. for example- \\smsboot\x64\wdsnbp.com or \smsboot\x64\wdsnbp.com or would i need to specify the complete path where  remote install folder is located  for example \\server name\c$\remoteinsall\smsboot\x64\wdsnbp.com .I cant test myself due to restrictions in our organization as the DHCP servers are handled by other team . Appreciate your help!!!

Performance Benchmarking a New OS Build

November 15, 2014, 1:38 am
$

BACKGROUND:

I have been working with a new organisation for the last six weeks and am about to introduce a Win 7 new build.

This will include a newly captured WIM containing pre-reqs, updates etc., a completely new deployment task sequence (SCCM replacing MDT). This is specifically targeting issues of the current build of poor performance and poor reliability.

As the authority on SCCM, the expectations of me are obviously to resolve the above issues - the latter is easy to identify improvements through calls to the desk, but performance (or most importantlyperceived performance) is more subjective.

Therefore, I intend to benchmark their existing build and the new one as a comparison which will hopefully document the benefits in the black and white.

DISCUSSION:

I am interested whether anyone else benchmarks new/amended builds as a matter of course?  If so how do you do this?

Traditional benchmarks such as CPU, GPU, RAM are not what I would consider perceived performance indicators. They also vary from model and so are not really relevant to benchmarking the build.

Boot up times and logon times are definitely perceived performance indicators. I will look at xperf (which i see has now been superseded by the Windows Performance Recorder whcih is part of the ADK). I am also aware of the Diagnostics-Performance\Boot Performance Monitoring in the event log.

Can anyone recommend any other benchmark tests that I should include?

Thanks for reading!

downloading files from wrong Distribution Point after Upgrade to R2

November 12, 2014, 10:57 pm

Hello,

after upgrading to R2 we have strange and seroius issue. Clients use different Distribution Points to download their content.  Each branch office has its own local protected DP by boundaries (IP-Ranges). Clients can only use their local DP. There is no fallback.

There were no problem before upgrading to R2!!

Now the Clients use randomly his own local Distribution Point in the branch office OR they use the Headquarter Distribution Point! But they are not allowed to use the Headquarter DP.  Some packages are downloaded from local DP some other from the Main Headquarter DP. There is no permission for the IP-address of the Branch office Client to download the content from Headquarter DP.

SMSTS.log says there are two locations for the content of a package and downloads it randomly from one of them.

Thats a Big Problem in our environment because bandwith it limited between branch offices and Headquarter.

We use ConfigMgr 2012 R2 with CU2

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to deploy SCCM2012R2 task sequence via PXE with IpHelpers.

I've configured the IPHelpers to point to the SCCM DP PXE and the DHCP, but nothing happen.

Has someone a quick guide on how to configure SCCM2012 and iphelper?

PXE Boot with UEFI. WDS not sending WinPE wim

July 25, 2013, 6:31 am

I am trying to test PXE booting on devices that only have UEFI and no CSM support.
We are running Windows Server 2008 R2 in our environment.

On the DHCP server, we have option 66 and 67 set. If I change option 67 to SMSBoot\x86\wdsnbp.com and boot a traditional BIOS system (non UEFI) the SCCM server responds and gives me the option to hit F12 and PXE boot. This works without issue and can deploy images.

I then change option 67 to SMSBoot\x64\wdsmgfw.efi and use a machine that is pure UEFI (meaning UEFI without any legacy support / CSM). The system appears to successfully download the wdsmgfw.efi and font file via TFTP as shown in the WDS logs. However, it then goes to the next sreen where it is trying to contact the WDS server. AFter retrying for a while it will error out with error 0x102 which I believe translates to ERROR_TIMEOUT

The SMSPXE.log repeats the following:
Client boot action reply: <ClientIDReply><Identification Unknown="0" ItemKey="2046820352" ServerName="" ServerRemoteName=""><Machine><ClientID>8908f9c4-c345-49ba-b137-af7b0b983584</ClientID><NetbiosName/></Machine></Identification><PXEBootAction LastPXEAdvertisementID="" LastPXEAdvertisementTime="" OfferID="GAS20043" OfferIDTime="7/24/2013 3:12:00 PM" PkgID="GAS00037" PackageVersion="" PackagePath="<a href="http:///SMS_DP_SMSPKG$/GAS00038">http://<IVE REMOVED  THIS>/SMS_DP_SMSPKG$/GAS00038" BootImageID="GAS00038" Mandatory="0"/></ClientIDReply>

Sudden issue with client communications in SCCM 2012

February 21, 2013, 11:45 am

I'm not quite sure where to begin but here is some background info:

SCCM 2012 started with initial release (clean install) and was upgraded to SP1 a little more than a month ago.

A large deployment (Cas, 2 primary sites (with dedicated DB servers), and currently around 30 DPs).

Up until last Friday things were going well.  Then starting last Monday (2/18/2013) I initially got reports that endpoint that were trying to be imaged via PXE and bootable media were failing to find task sequences.  The machines would successfully boot into WinPE but report no task sequences are available.  In reviewing the SMSTS.log file on a endpoint, it shows that it successfully finds the preexisting SCCM computer object (SCCM object GUID and name displayed in the log matches what is shown in the SCCM console).  It also shows a successful policy assignment retrieval but 0 policy assignments, 0 collection variables, 0 machine variables even though the SCCM object has more than one TS deployed to it and a machine variable.   The object has both the MAC address and I added the BIOS GUID to make sure it isn't a GUID conflict (which is doubtful since it affects other endpoints) and it still had the same result.

Any other ideas on what is going on?

SCCM 2012 Install Driver Behavior vs MDT

I have experience in MDT 2012 and 2013 as well as SCCM 2007 and 2012. Recently, I have noticed that MDT and SCCM handle the driver installation differently. Can someone explain why the "installing device drivers" step in SCCM takes a considerably longer time vs MDT?  I know MDT injects drivers and SCCM Applies drivers. But why does it take much longer via SCCM? Anyway I can incorporate the way MDT handles drivers over to SCCM?

Thank you

Hi All,

I am using a default MDT Intergrated Task Seqaeunce in SCCM, 'Client Task Seqeunce Template', my OS Deployment works fine apart form the fact that the BDEDrive is visible with drive letter.

I have not enabled bitlocker in the task seqeunce, but i dont think that will make a difference anyway.

Is there anyweay that this drive can be made hidden as it should be, in the task seqeunce it is specified not to assign the drive a letter.

Thanks... :-)

Hi!

Trying to figure out why my computers during OSD not install software updates. I have deployed all my updates to Unknows Computers collection as available and configured "Install Software Updates" step to install "All software updates".

When i look into UpdatesDeployment.log i get error: "InstallTargetedUpdates failed, error 87d00708", which is according to Torsten means that i does not find any applicable updates to install.

Do I have to deploy the updates as Required to "Unknows computers" for the updates to install?

Thanks!
