Technet! We have a problem!
We are using the following setup:
SCCM 2012 with SP2
Console Version: 5.0.8239.1000 Site Version: 5.00.8239.1000
Server 2012 R2 - Fully patched
We are having the following issues with Task Sequence:
Unable to successfully run a "Run command line" step Unable to inject our pre-configured unattend file - Which has product key, djoin info, local account After "Setup Windows and Config Client" TS initiates a reboot and does not proceed with the rest of the Task sequence..
Here is a list of our Task Sequence Steps - Please advise:
"Install Operating System"
- Restart in Windows PE(Default)
- Partition Disk 0 (Default)
- Apply OS(Default) - We ticked "Use an unattended or Sysprep file for Custom installation" and directed it to a package containing our pre-configured unattened.xml - We tried
without custom installation as well....
- Apply Windows Settings - Which has product key inserted - Redundant, yes...
"AutoLogon"
- Auto Apply Drivers(Default) - Directed it to relevant categories
- Setup Windows and Configuration Client(Default)
- AutoLogon Local Admin(Run Command Line) - Which includes: cmd.exe /c \\XXX-sccm\Applications\Batch_Files\AutoAdminLogin.bat - IN COMMAND LINE Disable 64-bit Redirection is ticked Package is ticked
and directed to package with includes the proper data source folder
Steps are pretty basic so this leads me to think that our captured image might be the issue.
The captured image process includes the following:
Captured via "Image wizard" .iso from SCCM TS - Works like a charm
Win 7 x86 image - windows activated and removed from Domain
Preferred software is installed
Panther folder isn't tampered with(However we tried to replace the unattend file with our pre-configured file and then capture, still SOL)
Profiles are created before hand
Then we capture the image and upload it into SCCM
Bottom line is that the OSD and driver installation work flawlessly. However we cannot get the machine to join the domain or activate windows/office.
We have exhausted the following steps with no luck:
Tried adding "Join domain" TS step after drivers are installed and after the "Setup Windows and Config Client" Step
Tried leaving everything default and inputting in our unique data so TS creates the unattend file for us
Tried running a "Run command line" TS step to djoin
Placed appropriate permissions in every share possible with SCCM
Addressed and corrected "Manage Access Accounts"
Tried removing the unattend file before the capture so that TS would create it for us, with the correct parameters Tried creating a simple mkdir on the local C:\ after the "Setup windows and config client" step, even tried before.
At this point all we can do is Trial and Error the TS process. However, nothing ever runs as you would think. Simple command line steps in task sequence
bomb, and adding anything after "Setup Windows and config client" seems well....... pointless. It never runs...
Our goal: Have the newly imaged machine join the domain Activate Windows/Office
Auto login to a domain admin account, or local admin account - At this rate if we can get auto login to work we can use GP to do everything else, since it isn't so GD particular That's it! Easy peasy right?.....
Sure we can use WDS, but we would rather use SCCM Any thoughts are routes, please advise and Thank you in advance.
