"Site-Based" Boot Media Works / "Dynamic" Boot Media Gives "MP Location Returned an Empty Site Code"

Good Morning Guys -

This morning we had some issues testing OSD builds.  We used a USB drive we made into boot media a few days ago to boot up an "Unknown Computer."  After clicking the initial "Next," we got the error 0x80004005 instead of no task sequences being listed. 

I tried re-creating the media (Dynamic), but still got the same error.  After research, I re-created the media once more with the same settings - except - used "Site-Based" instead of "Dynamic" and it worked as I am now displayed a list of task sequences to run.

Why would "Site-Based" media work and "Dynamic" media not?  

Below are some environment details as well as other things I examined...

  • Primary server is remote to location, but do have a local secondary
  • Boot Image Config I used on all 3 times I tried above: 

          - Boot Image: Selected Image

          - Distribution Point - Selected Local Secondary

          - Management Point - Selected Primary Server (only option)

  • IP was retrieved on machine via DHCP.  After opening a command prompt, I could ping both primary and secondary servers
  • Verified machine's IP (via DHCP) was in a boundary (It's Subnet was entered).  Boundary was assigned to the proper local secondary

In the log file, there was only a couple of lines which noted errors (besides PXE which we don't use)

Here is the smsts.log file just in case - names were changed for security...

Any ideas?  Thank Guys!


Ben K.
