i think it's because it's Beta 2, could be due to installing the requirements/silverlight ?

what version of sccm are you using and is mdt integrated or not, what version os mdt if so ?

that's most likely your issue, what reason do you have for NOT running dhcp server on in your hyperV lab (don't you have a domain controller ?)

of course it's possible, and here's an example just change the names of your variables to suit the purpose and that's it and change the options tab of your task sequence step (or group) to This Step will run if If Task Sequence Variable = somevalue do you want me to put together a guide for it ? cheers niall

go ahead and try, i know that we've been successfully using this method to copy policies for over a year now (before the setup windows and configmgr step)

parsing step node simply means it's reading the task sequence steps before actually running them, what you need to look for is Start Executing Use Toolkit Package, do you see that anywhere ?

no you dont, the Use Toolkit package step immediatly before that takes care of it

well pause a machine by pressing f8 and grab the logs before that step without the logs I can't really advise you

i've updated the guide to make it clearer which download you need

Step 5. Create a new VM and PXE boot it Create a new virtual machine and PXE boot it, as the virtual machine is New and New to SCCM 2012, it's considered Unknown and therefore we should see whatever deployments we targetted to the All Unknown Computers collection, you should see the following press F12 to PXE boot, and the boot image starts loading we'll get prompted for our PXE password, enter it and click next and our task sequence menu appears, select Deploy Windows 7 Enterprise X64 SP1 and click next and our Deployment begins ! Ths OS installs... our new application Gets installed Create another Virtual Machine and PXE boot it, but this time choose Deploy Windows 7 Enterprise X64 and click next.

Step 4. Deploy the Task Sequence to the All Unknown Computers collection In Software Library, select Task Sequences, select our Deploy Windows 7 Enterprise X64 SP1 Task sequence and right click, choose Deploy (of course you can also select the task sequence and click Deploy from the Ribbon above) for collection, click browse and select All Unknown Computers make sure to select the Vnext Distribution point then click next for Deployment Settings Purpose, make it available (optional) and place a checkmark in Make available to boot media and PXE click next through schedule (don't set anything there), and User experience, for Distribution keep the defaults, click close at the Deployment completion repeat the above for the Deploy Windows 7 X64 Enterprise Task Sequence.

Step 3. Create the Deploy Task Sequence Now that we have added our captured operating system images to Configmgr, and distributed them to our dp's we want to create a Deploy Task sequence to Deploy the image. In Task Sequences, right click and choose Create Task Sequence. This time select the first option, Install an existing image package fill in some details about the image and select the X86 boot image for Image package, click on browse and select our Windows 7 Enterprise X64 Service Pack 1 image for Image click on the drop down and change it from All Images to 1 - 1 and enter a password for the Local Administrator account (good for troubleshooting failed installations), notice there is an already checked Partition and Format the target computer before installing the operating system step enter your Domain Joining credentials and specify an OU if you wish, I didn't. Note: please don't select the Computer Container as that is a container (not an OU). for the configmgr client step, select the configuration manager client package and click next we are not migrating any data at this point so remove the State capture options for Install updates select All Software Updates and for Add applications, we'll add a new app (please add it first using this guide) called Winzip 15 (you can download the MSI file from here, and I want to you specify Install for System, whether or not a user is logged on in the Install for User or System step. click next through the summary... and click close at the confirmation screen Repeat the above process for our Windows 7 RTM image now we have two new Deploy Windows 7 Task Sequences listed

Step 2. Distribute Content We now need to distribute our imported images to our distribution points. Select Our Windows 7 Enterprise Service pack 1 image and in the ribbon above click on Home and then Distribute Content when the Distribute Content wizard appears click next specify our vnext Distribution Point click next, next and review the Wizard Completion click Close and then repeat the above for our other Windows 7 image.

In Part 1. of this series we Installed SCCM 2012, in Part 2 we started to configure it. In Part 3, we configured Beta 2 some more by enabling Active Directory discovery methods, adding some site system roles, configuring the computer client agent and client push settings and finally doing a manual client installation to verify it all worked, in Part 4 we looked at installing an application using Application Management and the Software Catalog and the Software Center features of SCCM 2012, and in Part 5, we added the FSP, SLP, SMP, SUP. In Part 6 we got our SCCM 2012 server ready for Deploying Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 so that we could start deploying some Windows 7 clients to enhance our LAB, then in Part 7 we created a Build and Capture Task Sequence and deployed it to our Build and Capture collection. In Part 8 we created our Network Access Account and captured our Windows 7 SP1 image (and Windows 7 RTM). Now we will deploy that captured image to a new Virtual Machine. Perform the following on your SCCM 2012 beta 2 server as SMSadmin. Step 1. Import the captured images If you havn't already done so repeat the Build and Capture Process so that we have both Windows 7 X64 SP1 and Windows 7 X64 images captured. In the Software Library, Operating Systems section of the Configmgr console, click on Operating System Images, you'll note that it is empty because we havn't imported any images yet. In the ribbon above, click on Home and then Add Operating System Image for data source enter the capture UNC eg: \\vnext\sources\captures and click on browse, select the W7x64SP1.wim file enter the operating system image data click next and next again review the add operating system image Wizard completion message click Close, then repeat the above process for our Windows 7 X64 image (RTM). Both images should now appear

via Ned Pyle, Microsoft. Ned here. We rarely release USMT KB articles, so this post is to spread the word on a scenario that is easy to run into: do not allow calling of the Microsoft-Windows-COM-ComPlus-Setup-DL or Windows-COM-ComPlus-Setup manifests if migrating from x86 to x64. Bad things will happen otherwise, and while fixing it is easy on one machine, fixing it on 10,000 is not. For steps on preventing the issue and remediation, see: USMT 4.0 migration from x86 to x64 results in corrupted COM+ components - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2481190 This effectively means that CONFIG.XML is now a required option for SCANSTATE, if you are moving from 32-bit to 64-bit OS. If going from 32-bit to 32-bit, or 64-bit to 64-bit, you have nothing to worry about. Until next time.

in our production environment at work we have quite complex build and capture task sequences that have evolved over time. start with one change at a time and thoroughly test it until everything is stable, do this in your lab, once it is stable make the changes in production, and continue with your testing (back in the lab) please take a look at this post for some guidance around build and capture of windows 7 any issues you are having we can help with, but as before, keep the changes simple, one at a time and test thoroughly, all too often people add 4 different new steps to a task sequence and one or more of those steps breaks the smooth working process, it's all about testing testing testing cheers niall

just leave it there, it will get used unless of course you dont want a drive used in which case you must place a no_sms_on_drive.sms file on it

task sequences are executed in Local System context, access to packages is done using the network access account, can you try pxe booting again and see if you can press F8 before it reboots, post the smsts.log here please

correct two steps step 1. use toolkit package step 2. xcopy gpo's the toolkit package has several files/folders one folder is called scripts, copy your customscripts folder (and subsequent folders/files) to the scripts folder so the package is now \\server\sources\MDT Toolkit package\scripts\customscripts\group policy then update that package to it's dp's then test the task sequence

ok so you've integrated MDT 2012beta into SCCM 2012 beta 2? does it work without mdt integrated ?

you can do it like so along as you have integrated MDT 2010 update 1 with SCCM 2007. Create a sub folder off of your scripts folder in MDT Toolkit files package, then copy the group policy files from a computer that has had the policies applied, in order to use this you must then have a Use Toolkit Package the actual copy command (Run Command Line) is like so xcopy.exe "%deployroot%\scripts\Customscripts\GroupPolicy" "c:\" /E /C /I /Q /H /R /Y /S and must take place BEFORE the Setup Windows and configmgr Step cheers niall

you said that means DNS is not working correctly, have a read of this and see can you fix it

xcopy doesnt copy those files at all, the copying (backup aka Scanstate) is done entirely by the hardlinking process (re-indexing of files)

fqdn is more like this sccm2012.windows-noob.lab.local try again and try testing nslookup on the vnext/sccm2012 beta 2 computer paste the results here
