SCCM 2012 SP1 and MDT 2012 Task Sequence Templates, MDT File/Settings Packages

$

We're setting up SCCM 2012 integrated with MDT 2012 for our OSD. My main issue is finding actual reference material for the MDT task sequence templates when integrated with SCCM. The MDT documentation has a lot of information on variables and task sequences outside of SCCM integration. 

One thing I'd love to find information on is what's actually going on during an MDT Client Task Sequence template. I found this http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/645a77b2-5be6-431d-818c-57d24b1435cc/understanding-mdt-task-sequence?forum=configmgrosd but it doesn't delve into the kind of detail I'm looking for. I can dig up information through the MDT reference material on some things, but I just can't find anything out there that actually walks you through an SCCM/MDT task sequence template. For instance, under State Restore what is being referenced in Install Software with base variable name PACKAGES, vs Install Applications and base variable name COALESCED APPS. And, where are you supposed to put these applications? That's just a specific example, I'm hoping to find some kind of walkthrough.

Two things I'm hazy on are the MDT packages. What exactly are the MDT Settings Package, and the MDT Files Package? What are they used for? What benefits do you get out of using them? And, how exactly do you use them? I know one of them has something to do with customsettings.ini, but what's the point of using SCCM with MDT if you still have to muck around in the customsettings.ini file?

Either way, it seems like there are a lot of references to SCCM task sequences, and a lot of references to MDT task sequences. But, not together. Which is a bit annoying since the MDT-integrated task sequence templates are very obviously different than either SCCM or MDT by itself. Any help would be appreciated, even just information on where to look. Maybe I'm just really bad at finding reference material for SCCM/MDT. Thanks. 


2012 R2 OSD refresh WinPE Network Access Account issue?

$

Hi, 

Environment: SCCM 2012 R2/MDT2013

Since upgrading to R2 we're experiencing failures during an OS refresh task sequence. But only in one physical location.

The same MDT task sequence runs fine for new computer builds (in both locations)

Hardware is identical in both locations. One location completes the refresh correctly. The other location prestages content correctly, reboots into WinPE then immediately fails as soon as it attempts to download the first item (MDT toolkit package) from the distribution point. 

SMSTS.log (below) logs 'no credential information in environment' and fails when attempting to pull from the dp. 

This implies the network access account is not set.

It is set and it works correctly at the other location (for the same refresh task sequence) 

I know that R2 allows for multiple network access accounts. We've made no changes. We're just using the same account we used before the upgrade. 

Boundaries are set correctly. Not sure what else to look for. 

The error:

Task Sequence Configuration manager client installation hangs due to unavailable domain controllers

$

0

Hi All,

Environment:

SCCM 2012 R2, MDT 2013, 

Bit of a strange one. During the 'Setup Windows and ConfigMgr' step of an OSD the task sequence hangs and does not continue. 

A packet capture shows that the client is attempting to contact domain controllers in the other domains in our forest. These DC's are unavailable from our build VLAN. I am assuming that the process is querying domain controllers in other domains for existence of the computer account before adding to the domain (although this is a guess)

We cannot open up access to these domain controllers. Anyone seen this before?

Thanks. 

 


Reset SCCM Object Attributes For Reimaged Computers

$

During the reimaging of computers and after SCCM agent installation task, the SCCM object in the console appears with a new ResourceID and SCCM agent ID, but most other attributes (DDR time, primary users, HW/SW inventory) seem to be getting merged from the old object (before it was reimaged). Are there any settings in SCCM to block that from happening? One way we can get around this is by deleting the computer object in AD prior to reimaging (or of course deleting the SCCM object) but I was wondering if there are any settings that control that.

TS failing on Use Toolkit Package

Started to have problems installing Win7 x64 on machines (HP EliteBook 9470) after removing drivers belonging to other package.

Keep on getting these error messages:

C:\_SMSTaskSequence\Packages\S01000FB\Scripts\ZTISCCM.wsf(11, 3) (null): Library not registered.

C:\_SMSTaskSequence\Packages\S01000FB\Scripts\ZTISCCM.wsf(1655, 4) Microsoft VBScript-runtime error: Object needed: 'oUtility.Arguments'

Failed to run the action: Use Toolkit Package.
Incorrect function. (Error: 00000001; Source: Windows)

As stated above, the drivers that were removed belonged to another package (another HP machine), so it should not have affected this package. Or so i thought...

Every HP 9470 now bombs out on Use Toolkit Package, after the step "Setup Windows and ConfigMgr".

Initially i figured this was a driver related error, so drivers for the NIC has been removed and imported again (Intel 82579LM).
I've tried three different file versions, two from HP and one (newer date) from Dell and finally a native driver from Intel (dated from this year) to no avail.

The files are all downloaded fine.
I can ping internal servers and external sites.
When the machine boots up after this failed install, the icon for wireless connection behaves weird:

It shows as if there are wireless networks available but not connected.
Hovering the mouse over, it does say that it is connected and i can reach both internal servers and external websites.

Unplug and replug the network cable results in the icon for cabled network showing up for a few seconds, then disappering again, acting as if there is no LAN card available.

There are no missing drivers (no exclamation marks) in Device manager.

Anyone else seen this or something like it?

This happens on any HP machine we have.

Creating standalone media, writes C drive full

When we create standalone media, SCCM 2012 writes lot of files on the C drive, but no idea where it goed to. The C drive is getting full and I can't make other standalone media, because there is not enough disk space on the C drive. How I make more space on the C drive?

Thanks in advance

Slow Application Deployment on New Computers

Hello

I am new to SCCM so I don't know if this is normal behavior or not but when I deploy an OS to a new computer, it usually takes overnight before any applications are installed.  I don't see them in the Software Center no matter how many times I run the Machine Policy Retrieval & Evaluation Cycle or the Application Deployment Evaluation Cycle until a day later.

I am on a small network with one primary site.  SP1 was slow but R2 seems worse.  Is this normal for SCCM or can I speed this up?

This is my AppDiscovery.log after running the Application Deployment Evaluation Cycle:

How do I relocate the ConfigMgr_OfflineImageServicing directory?

SCCM2012 was installed on the D: drive, so ConfigMgr_OfflineImageServicing  is at  D:\ConfigMgr_OfflineImageServicing.  I have system constraints that do not allow growing the D: drive, so I need to direct Offline Image Servicing to another local drive (E: or F:).

My environment is:  SCCM2012 RTM (no service pack 1),  Windows 2008 R2.

SCCM 2012 R2 OSD, WinTPC/WinEmbedded TS and Write Filters

$

Okay, so I have an interesting issue and finding information about Windows Thin PC (WinTPC) on the web is sparse. Hope this is something someone has tried.

  1. Have a Win TPC x86 SP1 built on a VM. Configure as needed with patches and use SCCM 2012 R2 Capture media to capture/sysprep the WIM file. Image has only 1 partition. For simplicity, UAC is disabled in the image using local policies. 
  2. Import the WIM in ConfigMgr 2012 R2, insert into a task sequence. Install needed software part of task sequence. 
  3. We want to enable file based write filter on this image. WinTPC comes FBWFMGR pre-installed on %WINDIR%\System32. We also want to exclude some files/folders/registries so that changes are retained. We run the following commands on the task sequence - 

=============fbwfmgr /enablefbwfmgr /addvolume c:fbwfmgr /addexclusion c: "\Program Files\McAfee"fbwfmgr /addexclusion c: "\Windows\ccm"fbwfmgr /addexclusion c: "\Windows\ccmsetup"fbwfmgr /addexclusion c: "\Windows\ccmcache"fbwfmgr /addexclusion c: "\Windows\SMSCFG.ini"fbwfmgr /addexclusion c: "\Windows\system32\wbem"fbwfmgr /addexclusion c: "\Windows\system32\config" =============

This is run in a batch file. =============Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RegFilter\Parameters\MonitoredKeys\3]"ClassKey"="HKLM" "FileNameForSaving"="SysAid.RGF" "RelativeKeyName"="Software\\Ilient"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RegFilter\Parameters\MonitoredKeys\4]"ClassKey"="HKLM" "FileNameForSaving"="McAfee.RGF" "RelativeKeyName"="Software\\McAfee"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RegFilter\Parameters\MonitoredKeys\5]"ClassKey"="HKLM" "FileNameForSaving"="Citrix.RGF" "RelativeKeyName"="Software\\Citrix"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RegFilter\Parameters\MonitoredKeys\6]"ClassKey"="HKLM" "FileNameForSaving"="BITS.RGF" "RelativeKeyName"="Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\BITS"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RegFilter\Parameters\MonitoredKeys\7]"ClassKey"="HKLM" "FileNameForSaving"="SCCMClient.RGF" "RelativeKeyName"="Software\\Microsoft\\CCM" ============= This is run using reg.exe run through a reg file.  =============

This enables the FBWF write filter. This also sets volume C: be protected and folders/files excluded. The registry file also sets exclusions for particular software and HIVE for exclusions. FBWF automatically excludes machinepassword & system activation registry keys, which does get set (verified in registry @ this hive) –

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RegFilter\Parameters\MonitoredKeys\_MachineAccount
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RegFilter\Parameters\MonitoredKeys\_MSLicensing]

Finally, reboot the system (thin client) and all should be complete.

But this process does not seem to be working (for me, yet) and I was hoping if someone had experience provisioning a thin PC (WinTPC or Windows Embedded, built through SCCM OSD and Write Filter provisioned).

For the first login, I do notice the FBWF is enabled and exclusions set. I start getting prompts “Open File – Security Warning” for ie4uinit.exe, regsvr32.exe, WinMail.exe, unregmp2.exe, rundll32.exe, sidebar.exe and similar. Example screenshot attached. Windows is activated in this logon.

Finally after all the prompts and a very slow logon, I get in, try to create a file on the desktop (to test whether it gets deleted or retained) and reboot. On the next logon, I get weird errors including windows activation, the same series of prompts as in first logon, and logged on with temporary profile. This continues on every other attempted logon. Do note, that temporary file created is gone (so FBWF is working).

I need to fix these errors or figure out what I may be doing wrong. How do someone typically capture WIM for Win TPC? Is the SCCM Capture method not supported? Should I be using autounattend? If I am following things properly, does FBWF require any additional partition created or assigned?

Your ideas and thoughts or a working experience is appreciated.

Reference websites –

NOTE: For some who may not have worked with Windows TPC Standard, is a stripped down version of Windows 7 and very similar to Windows Embedded Standard. So any steps that might work for Embedded will also work for TPC.

UDA set wrong during OSD

Hi, I have MDT 2013 + SCCM 2012 R2 Environment. I am using a UDI task sequence. I provide option to set computer using UDI wizard and set user device affinity. All work well, untill, someone changes the name of Computer using UDI wizard. In case the computername is changed, the new computer object in CM does not have user affinity set. Instead, I see that the old object (before rename using UDI during OSD) in CM console get the UDA set(OSD defined).  I did try deleting the old name from CM console after starting TS, but this also did not help set the UDA to new object in CM. How do I get around this problem. We want to have a functionality of setting OSD defined UDA even for computers where the user might change the name using UDI wizard.

Hi guys,

I upgrade from SP1 CU3 to R2 and since then I can not display images, I get the error: 

Failed to run the action: Instalar Windows y Configuration Manager. 
The system cannot find the path specified. (Error: 80070003; Source: Windows)

just finished restart after applying the operating system. I installed all the updates, I delete and add the pxe point and nothing. The fact is that I have other tasks to capture using the same step and works fine. The hardware is a Virtual Machine de vmware.

If anyone has ever happened or can help would be grateful. Sorry for my English.

Thxxx!!!!

Hi,

I made dynamic logging on SCCM 2012 integrated MDT TS work fine (see here for post related).
However, I'd like to have a subfolder of the computername. So for example \\sccmserver\log\mdt\machine123\datetimehour\logs

How can I achieve this?

Please advise

MDT 2013 & SCCM 2012 R2 - Slow MDT Download

$
0
0

MDT Use toolkit package inside of OSD takes a very long time to download.<br>


MDT is only around 40mb total size, so i can't understand why it's taking so long on only this section.

Typically the use toolkit package where MDT downloads locally inside of OSD takes around 5-7 minutes, each of the files are small in size but the download time is ridiculous! I transfer a 6bg .wim file in 2 minutes when it comes to applying the image so i know the network speed is ok, something is going wrong with the MDT package and downloading it.

Running a normal TS without MDT runs fine, and the image installs ok.

Pulling my hair out with how long MDT takes, it's adding on an extra 15-20 minutes onto my sequence just by downloading toolkit files!


Anyone had similar or know what I may be able to try?


The setup is a lab environment. I have a standalone primary, with local SQL, 1 DP & 3 physical clients.

Hi,

We have our SCCM 2012 client in the capture but the deploy has a single step "Setup Windows and ConfigMgr" in which there is no option to NOT install the sccm 2012 client.
So what happens then, the client is installed a second time?

Please advise.

Hi,

We have this configuration enabled within customsettings.ini:

SLSHARE=\\sccm.ourdomain.com\OSD\Logs\

SLSHAREDynamicLogging=\\sccm.ourdomain.com\OSD\Logs\%OSDComputername%

Now I see the BDD.log appearing in our logging share but not the smsts.log (which I would like to have). At the end of the task sequence all logs are copied to the \logs\computername\....

Please advise on howto configure correctly.

Offline Servicing and installing updates in OSD TaskSequence

$
0
0

This might be a silly question, but I've nowhere found any detailed info on this question.

I'm successfully adding software updates to a Windows 7 x64 wim file in SCCM 2012 SP1 R2
I'm using this wim file in a Tasksequence and installing on virtual clients in a lab.

After OS installation, when I open Windows Updates there is a green sign, saying the client is up to date. When I look inte the history of the updates, I see a bunch of installed updates that have failed and one that has succeded, which happens to be a definition update not in the image.

I can deploy the same updates with a deployment to a collection and install them from Software Center, after login.

So my question. Do I need to take any action in the Tasksequence to successfully install the updates I've injected into the wim file?
I do understand there might be additional updates not injected in the wimfile, I may want to install at this time. But before I get to that point I want to make sure the injected updates are working fine.

The image is created with MDT 2013 on a standalone workbench and then imported into SCCM. MDT is not integrated with SCCM.

Thankful for any input.

HI

I needed to deploy one program which do not like SYSTEM account (do not installs). So I created TaskSequence with

Run Command line and specified domain user which will be running this command.

Is my domain users password safe or it will be provided in clear text in my network? Because this user must be Admin on local computer.

PXE-T04 error

We have SCCM2012SP1 (Version 5.0.7804.1000), and we wish to start OS deployment.

But we have some problems.


We have SCCM with WDS role and DHCP on same subnet but different servers. (192.168.80.0/25)

SCCM: 192.168.80.25

DHCP: 192.168.80.20

We wish that computers that need OSD, to stay on totally different network (10.10.0.0/24) until deployment is finished.

We have Cisco routers in our network and IP-HELPER is properly set.

DHCP Scope options:

066 – 192.168.80.25

067 - \reminst\boot\x86\wdsnbp.com

When we start our test workstation, it receive proper ip address from DHCP:

CLIENT IP: 10.10.0.10 MASK 255.255.255.0 DHCP IP: 192.168.80.20 GATEWAY IP: 10.10.0.254

After that I receive this errors:

TFTP.

PXE-T04: Access violation

PXE-E36: Error received from TFTP server

PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM

Any idea ?



SCCM 2012 - Windows 7 OSD wrong driver letter?

$
0
0

Hi,

I am having issues with SCCM 2012 OSD / MSD 2012 and deploying Windows 7

I am using a captured WIM and I have noticed that on a machine it deploys
to the E: drive even if I have not data on the hard disk (I have cleaned it
with diskpart). So when the task Sequence is finished it the Windows
directory is E:\Windows which is not what I want.

Now what I thought I would try is moving the CD-ROM drive to a different
SATA controller from AHCI port 2 to AHCI Port 3.

Now this made the OS deploy correctly to C: with the final state being C:\Windows

1. So my questions are "How" does SCCM determine what the final logical drive that
windows will be put on?

2. Is there a way I can force it to be C: drive no matter what port my CD-ROM is on?

3. Also if I am using UEFI and Bitlocker is the logic the same?

4. I have noticed when I run diskpart and do list volumes the CD-ROM drive appears?
   in the list is this normal?
  
It seems very bizzare the way it works.

Thanks,

Ward.
