i mean, what does the actual application that you are trying to install, that MSI log file say, not the appenforce.log...

before you see this error what do you see on screen ?

what does the application installation LOG file tell you

c:\windows\debug\netsetup.log will cover domain join failures, look at that log file

i'll be covering migration soon in a new post, watch this space

hmm that shouldnt happen, can you take a screenshot/photo of what you are seeing please, and include diskpart info for me also (bring up a command prompt and run diskpart, select disk 0, list par

It is currently in the Site Properties of your site, under the Signing and Encryption tab, It was re-worded and now says: Require SHA-256.

Up until recently, Endpoint Protection came with 4 built-in reports in Configuration Manager 2012. AntiMalware Activity Report Computer Malware Details Top Users By Threats User Threat List As of RC2 there are now six built-in reports AntiMalware Activity Report Computer Malware Details Top Users By Threats User Threat List Infected Computers Dashboard so what are the new reports about ? The fist new Endpoint Protection report shows a nice list of Infected Computers in a timeframe that you can select, you can verify what type of remediation was done via drop down menu and even search by Threat Name (see below). Next we have the Dashboard Report, this report shows lots of nice graphs to give you a graphical view of overall Endpoint Protection status in the collection you selected, malware remediation status, Operation Status of Endpoint Protection clients, Definiton status on Computers (see below) In other words, this report shows summaries of what you can see in the In-console monitoring Endpoint Protection Dashboard in the Monitoring node of the ConfigMgr Console. all in all, very cool stuff, if you havn't yet started experimenting with Endpoint Protection in Configuration Manager 2012 then get started, it's a Blast !

how did you setup SQL and what version of sql did you use

you must install the client otherwise the task sequence will fail.

that's a known issue, just diskpart your hard disc, make sure its got a partition and is formatted and then try again, it'll display correctly

here's your error Task sequence cannot continue after reboot because TS Manager is not configured to auto-start or GINA is not installedwhich probably happened due to the configmgr client failing to install, so examine your ccmsetup.log file to see what it tells you

is it a vmware environment ? perhaps you have a vmware dhcp server causing issues...

well you can't have a tree view or folders, unfortunately

verify DNS, on any of the clients do nslookup. can you ping the fqdn of the Configmgr server ? and vice versa to the clients ? tell me exactly what steps you are taking to deploy the client ?

Summary: The coming Windows 8 beta is looking more and more like it will be called the “consumer preview.” Why the change in nomenclature? Is Microsoft going to position the coming Windows 8 beta as a “consumer preview”? And if so, why? Microsoft officials have repeated recently that the Windows 8 beta release is on track for late February 2012. But one public relations official with the Windows team provided a slightly different message — and one that escaped notice by most of those who read her quote — during the Consumer Electronics Show. As reported by Pocket Lint, Windows Director of Consumer PR, Janelle Poole, stayed on message regarding Microsoft’s continued reluctance to talk about its release-to-manufacturing/ship targets for Windows 8. But, as Windows SuperSite’s Paul Thurrott noted last week, part of Poole’s message deviated from the usual script. Poole called the coming Windows 8 beta “the consumer preview.” Here’s her quote: “We haven’t talked about the release date and we generally don’t. We are talking milestone to milestone, so for us right now we’re talking about the next milestone being the consumer preview happening in late February.” If you know anything about the Windows org, you know words matter. This wasn’t a random throw-away. My first question was whether it’s just the internal Windows consumer PR team calling the beta “the consumer preview” or if the Microsoft brass plan to do the same. I’m hearing that the Windows organization is highly likely to settle on “consumer preview” as the name for the late-February beta. The bigger question — which Thurrott and I discussed during the most recent episode of Windows Weekly — is why Microsoft may label this the consumer preview. Thurrott’s theory was that maybe the developer preview (the September Build version) will be followed by a consumer preview (the beta) and finally the enterprise preview (the release candidate). My theory is more cynical, but not entirely unwarranted. I believe if Microsoft changes the nomenclature, the company is doing so to signify a change that’s been coming for a while now. What used to constitute a “beta” doesn’t really exist in the new Windows world. I said the same during the Windows 7 test period: That the current Windows organization doesn’t show code publicly at all until it’s pretty much set in stone and going to be tweaked very minimally. This makes Windows more predictable, but it also implies that the product is far less likely to incorporate suggested fixes from those outside Microsoft. During the Windows 7 test period, there were still a select group of technical beta testers on whom Microsoft seemingly leaned for real feedback and guidance regarding the product. That team, known internally as the “Test Pilots,” was disbanded after Windows 7 was released. As far as I know, there’s no equivalent to this group this time around. And Senior Program Manager for technical beta testing for Windows, Paul Donnelly, recently left Microsoft to go to Amazon with no replacement named (again, as far as I know). There could be other reasons Microsoft may prefer the “consumer preview” name to “beta.” By claiming a product is far enough along to be used by plain old consumers — and not just techie beta testers — Microsoft officials could be hoping to convince those who think a possible Q3 Windows 8 launch will be too late for Microsoft to shoe-horn its way into the tablet space that Windows 8 is right around the corner. (”Hey, it’s basically done — it’s in consumer preview now!”) Such a name also could help Microsoft’s PC partners who need a way to make new tablets and PCs that they’re bringing to market from now until the time that Windows 8 is shipping seem more up-to-date and palatable. (”This runs the Windows 8 Consumer Preview — so you know it’ll be able to run the final Windows 8 with no problem.”) Microsoft officials aren’t saying anything beyond the fact that the next Windows 8 release is due out in late February and that there is no separate “consumer preview” in the works — meaning, to me, the one-and-only Windows 8 beta is highly likely to be called the “Consumer Preview” when it is released. What’s your take as to why Microsoft is leaning toward calling the beta a “consumer preview” — and what effect (if any) this will have on Redmond, its developers, partners and customers?

is the wds service hanging ? disable the PXE password on it (remove it) on the PXE tab of your distribution point, try restarting/starting the wds service

did you distribute BOTH architecture boot images to your dps ?

post your smsts.log file and we can have a look, as regards what I use, look at the BitLocker and Multifuntion windows-noob.com HTA FrontEnd's, they contain scripts/logic in the task sequence that pretty much does all I need

check Computer Agent settings, Organization Name displayed in Software Center, that's the section where you set it i'm not following your second question, can you re-word it ?
