Hello everybody!
So, we’re having problems with OSD into our new HP Elitedesk G2 miniPC model. Our environment is Windows Server 2012 R2 & SCCM 2012 R2. Here’s a little introduction of things which we have done:
- Boot image (x64) injected with NIC drivers, USB 3.0 drivers (these are needed, because if you don’t add these, you can’t use keyboard & mouse!), SATA drivers
- Installed Win 7 Pro 64-bit into G2 mini PC, installed desired programs (web browser, 7zip, etc.), made some configurations, installed all Windows updates, sysprepped and captured image from computer.
- Imported image to configuration manager
- Made very basic task sequence ‘Install an existing image package’ (I can provide pictures if someone wants to see TS steps)
When deploying OS from created task sequence, computer just starts TS (disk partition etc.), doesn’t download Win PE and ask to take off installation media and then reboot (did this before).
Here are error codes from different logs:

OSD fails in Apply Operating System task.
“Task Sequence: WIN 64-bit Installation has failed with the error code (0x80070057). For more information, contact your system administrator or helpdesk operator.
We haven’t changed anything from our previous OSD setup with G1. Network Access Account is OK, we can ping our SCCM server (in OSD from command prompt)… Unfortunately we can’t check the time from BIOS from G2 miniPC because the BIOS don’t show it. Tried changing different settings but to no avail. Googled error code (0x80070057) and been trying things for couple days, no progress. That’s why I’m writing here now and asking help from experts. Hope you have some fresh ideas because I'm out of those so PLEASE HELP!
