what exactly is the problem ? where is it failing, feel free to attach your smsts.log files so we can take a look.

what version of configuration manager are you using and what nic drivers are you adding ?

no problem, just checking, good article.

well whatever is the LAST deployed task sequence will be the task sequence that runs and that decides what boot wim is downloaded so if you have a task sequence with a x64 bit boot wim, and you deploy it to All Unknown Computers, and if you then network boot an unknown computer, it will attempt to run that task sequence.

the hard disc partitioning steps need to be present for UEFI - see this post for more info

this sounds a bit like an Advertisement. Is it ?

it should be ALLOWOSDBUILD, you are missing a D

show me a screenshot of what you see in Assets and Compliance, and then Device Collections, do you see a software updates folder ? expand it... it should look something like mine below...

make sure that you have distributed both the 32 bit and the 64 bit boot wim's to your distribution points and that your UEFI capable task sequence has the 64bit boot wim attached to it if your hardware is 64bit, lastly make sure the UEFI device is in UEFI mode (and not legacy mode) and verify from the vendor (or boot into windows and find out) if it's 32 bit or 64 bit hardware, if it's 32 bit you'll need to image it using standalone media (usb or cd) and that usb media must have a task sequence with a 32 bit boot wim, if it's 64bit hardware (most UEFI hardware is 64bit capable) then use the 64bit boot wim... or separate the deployments using collections targetting the computer architecture

and you refreshed your view in the console ? when you ruin the script again did it complain (it does generate log files from the directory you run it from)

change your step 1 above to captured in Configuration Manager (try using the capture media method i've posted here) it will work fine then

right click on the task sequence and choose Export, it will allow you to export everything referenced in the task sequence to the other environment, try it !, i've exported from one Live production env to another and there was no issue other than the 'new' source for the packages/applications may have to be moved/thought about on the target.

is your internet connection working ? dns working? any proxy in use ? the errors translate to

have you correctly or incorrectly configured proxy settings the 0x824402c error means as below:

have a look at this post, it's basically how I do it http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/7638-how-can-i-deploy-windows-8-x64-to-the-microsoft-surface-pro-using-configuration-manager-2012-sp1/

In Part 1 of this mini series we integrated Windows Intune with System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager. In Part 2 we added Support for iOS devices (Iphone, iPad). In Part 3 we learned the difference between App Package for iOS (*.ipa file) and applications from the Apple App Store. We learned how to deploy them to iOS devices and configured the deployment type so that the applications were made available to the user based on the iPhone or Ipad operating system version, in addition we also checked device Ownership information and deployed the application based on those requirements. In Part 4 we learned how to use and configure compliance settings in order to enable or disable certain configurable features on iOS devices. We enforced a Password requirement and enforced a minimum password length as this is a common requirement for organizations. In Part 5 we enabled support for Windows 8.1 devices (both Windows RT 8.1 and Windows 8.1 Enterprise) so that they could be managed via System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager integrated with Windows Intune. In Part 6 we deployed Windows 8.1 apps (appx) to Windows 8.1 devices. In Part 7 we looked at how to make Windows 8.1 store apps available in the Company Portal and how to make them featured apps with their own categories. In Part 8 we added support for Android and learned how to deploy mobile device settings to Android devices. We enforced a Password requirement and saw how to enable File encryption on Android devices and we used resource explorer to browse the phone properties and to see if the device was a Jailbroken or rooted device. In Part 9 we learned how to deploy native APK (Android application package file) apps and how to deploy apps from Google Play. We learned that Available deployments to Users work but Available deployments to devices fail and we saw how to make our deployed app a featured app within the Company Portal and with it's own category. In Part 10 we added support for Windows Phone 8 and enrolled our phone and then verified the Deployment Status of the Self Service Portal. In this part we will look at how Windows Intune adds new capabilities to Configuration Manager via console extenstions. Every 6 months or so the Windows Intune team add new abilities to the standalone cloud based product (Windows Intune) and some of these new features find their way into the hybrid product (Configuration Manager 2012 on-premise with Windows Intune Integrated) via console extensions which were introduced in February 2014. The Configuration Manager administrator is made aware of these extensions when starting the Configuration Manager console, a message such as the one below is shown: Step 1. Review the Extensions In the System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager console, select the Administration workspace, click on Cloud Services and select Extensions for Windows Intune as shown in the screenshot below, the number of extensions will vary depending on when they are released, so in the screenshot below (June 2014) there are 3 listed. The extensions listed in the console as of June 2014 are as follows (it would make sense that there will be more released in the future): Email Profile Extensions iOS 7 Security Settings Windows Phone 8.1 Extensions The three extensions above are further summarized below from Technet: Email profiles in System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager is an optional extension for Windows Intune that allows you to provision devices with email profiles and restrictions by using Exchange ActiveSync. This enables your users to access corporate email on their devices with minimal setup required on their part. With System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager, the optional iOS 7 Security Settings extension introduces new security settings to manage iOS devices using Windows Intune and is available from within the Configuration Manager console. For information on how to install the extension, see Planning to Use Extensions in Configuration Manager. With System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager, the optional Windows Phone 8.1 extension introduces new security settings to manage Windows Phone 8.1 devices using Windows Intune and is available from within the Configuration Manager console. For information on how to install the extension, see Planning to Use Extensions in Configuration Manager. Each extension has some information about it and you can see this information populated in the summary screen by selecting an individual extension and clicking on the More Information link in the right side of the summary screen will open a web browser page on TechNet with detailed information about the extension. Step 2. Enable one or more extensions Note: Installing the extensions requires that you logon using an account that has Local Administrative permissions on the computer running the Configuration Manager console. After reviewing the information about the extension and the features it provides above, you may decide that you want to enable that extension in the console. Simply right click on an extension and choose Enable to enable the extension. Tip: Currently there is a limitation that once you have selected an extension and enable it, and if you later revert the environment (such as a virtual machine snapshot), you will not get the extensions back again. If you have this issue then you'll need to call Microsoft CSS to get them back again. Note: Although you can multi-select extensions you can only enable or disable one at a time. The end user license agreement screen will appear, place a check mark in the box provided and then click on yes as shown in the screenshot below. Note: Once you enable an extension, that feature is automatically replicated and enabled on all site servers in the Configuration Manager hierarchy of servers. Once enabled (or disabled if you elected to disable a previously enabled extension) you'll see the following popup and assuming you have an internet connection, the extension is downloaded and then installed, clicking on close will restart the console After restarting the console, you can review that the extension is indeed enabled by checking it's status, it should say Enabled. If it says Enabling Extensions... simply wait a few minutes and refresh the console view to see it change to Enabled. Step 3. Review the changes in the console. Once you've enabled some extensions you can review the changes in the console, in the screenshot below you can see what the Configuration Manager console looks like before and after the new functionality is added side by side underneath the Company resource Access node. Note the inclusion of Email Profiles this is via the Email Profiles Extension we selected in Step 1 (and enabled in Step 2). And you now have the following new iOS security settings available as shown below in Compliance Settings (for Mobile) under Security Settings where 4 settings are now visible for iOS 7 and 2 settings under Data Protection Finally we have several new settings for Windows Phone 8.1 comprising Device, Cloud, Security, Email Management and wireless Communication, all these settings can be set via Compliance Settings (mobile). below are the Device settings specific to Windows Phone 8.1 the ability to use a custom email account under Email Management specifying a cloud account and Near Field Communication (NFC) settings under security and some excellent wireless settings And that's it ! in a later post I'll go into more details about some of the extensions.

so under driver packages (the node) you have nothing ? this looks like drivers have been imported and assigned categories but not separated into driver packages (not so good as hard to target them...)

well how are your drivers split up, are they separated into driver packages containing drivers for indivual models or something else ?

don;'t download that it's way out of date, use System Center 2012 R2 instead available here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40840

sure thing, look here. http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/4045-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-step-by-step-guides/

well you could package it as an Appv package like i've done here, but disable the auto update part shown in Step 4.

do you mean you want to disable adobe reader looking for updates to it's own app ? if so you'll need to repackage that product and disable autoupdate within it

use group policy to disable the windows update icon as described here.

ok great and thanks for updating the thread in case others have the same problem
