Hey fellow CM'ers,
I'm trying to get pre staged media working with configuration manager 2012 R2 and a Windows 8.1 image.
I've created a PSM WIM file with the primary deployment task sequence as its source. Imported the wim file as an operating system and created a new task sequence. This new task sequence contains the following information:
- Partition disk
- Apply data image
- bcdboot to create boot files
- shutdown
After booting the system, regular Windows setup is started instead of Windows PE.
using this manual and these steps:
bcdboot.exe C:\Windows /s S: /f UEFI
DEL S:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD /f /q
COPY C:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD S:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot /y
BCDEdit.exe /Store S:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD /Set {ramdiskoptions} ramdisksdidevice partition=C:
BCDEdit.exe /Store S:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD /Set {Default} device ramdisk=[C:]\sources\boot.wim,{ramdiskoptions}
BCDEdit.exe /Store S:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD /Set {Default} osdevice ramdisk=[C:]\sources\boot.wim,{ramdiskoptions}
BCDEdit.exe /Store S:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD -set {bootmgr} device partition=S:
I am able to boot to Windows PE, however immediately after WinPE starts the task sequence wizard fails with the following error:
Unable to read task sequence configuration disk.
I have followed every single manual I could find. Also tried Win 8.1 on UEFI, Win 8.1 on BIOS and Win 7 SP1 on BIOS. All with the same result, every single time Windows instead of WinPE boots and with the fiddling above it boots WinPE but does not continue the task sequence.
Very strange as it worked perfectly on our ConfigMgr 2007 environment a couple of years ago (same task sequence setup)
What am I doing wrong?
