can you show me a screenshot of what you are talking about so we are clear

probably means you are running the sccm console remotely (ie: separate to the sccm server) and the console is still at sp1, you will need to upgrade it to sp2

are you using an unattend.xml file in this deployment ? are you deploying windows 7 via standalone cd ?

got this email today The System Center Configuration Manager team would like to announce that the following has been released and available for download: Configuration Manager 2007 R3 Beta This is the official Beta release for Configuration Manager 2007 R3. Yesterday at the Microsoft Management Summit, Brad Anderson announced during his keynote the release of ConfigMgr07 R3 Beta. Power management is at the core of the R3 release, it addresses the need that many organizations have to monitor and reduce the power consumption of their computers. ConfigMgr07 R3 Power Management leverages the power management features built into Windows to apply relevant and consistent settings to computers in the organization. There are three major components to power management in ConfigMgr07 R3: 1. Monitoring and Planning: Power Management collects information about computer usage and power settings for computers in the origination. Reports are provided to allow the administrator to analyze this data and determine optimal power management settings for computers. 2. Enforcement: Power management allows the administrator to create power plans which can be applied to collections of computers. These power plans configure Windows power management settings on computers, and different power plans can be configured for peak and non-peak working hours. 3. Compliance: After applying power plans to computers in the organization, the administrator can run reports to validate that power settings were correctly applied and to calculate power and carbon footprint savings across collections of computers. In addition to power management, ConfigMgr07 R3 will provide customers with enhanced scale and performance support (scale to 300K managed clients per hierarchy, delta AD discovery, dynamic collection updates), as well as enablement of further capabilities for operating system deployment. A full list of the R3 features can be found on Microsoft Connect at the “What’s new in R3” post. Navigate to Microsoft Connect today and download the ConfigMgr07 R3 Beta. Please review the Release Notes before performing any installation and the help (chm) file for specific deployment and supportability guidance. Feedback and Support: - All registered Open Beta users can submit bugs and make product suggestions using the Feedback tools provided on Microsoft Connect. This feedback is triaged daily by members of the Product Group. It is your feedback that helps drive feature changes and improvements. See the help link on the ConfigMgr MSConnect homepage for more instructions. - Newsgroups are a great way to post questions and receive general support for specific R3 related questions and answers.

what version of Windows 7 are you trying to deploy ? what media did you use, double check that you havnt included the cd key...

ok from your log so, remove the Windows 7 product key from the task sequence and try again please cheers niall

are you trying to manually sysprep this machine ? it looks like it can't find sysprep.exe, so how did you create this task sequence ? here's your failure from the log

ok so it is not part of an SCCM task sequence ? and you are running it via a script ? if you run the same line as a local administrator does it work ?

the link is being fixed according to Johan Arwidmark, here it is in the meantime trace64.zip Rename trace64.bob to .exe cheers niall

no it doesnt need to be on the pxe share, please post your smsts.log file here and i'll take a look at it

did you redistribute the configmgr client package ? (right click it, choose update distribution points..)

feel free to be a test guinea pig and try it in windows 7 and report back here start with something easy like IIS

go to the actions tab in configuration manager client (control panel on the w7 box) click on Machine policy retrieval.... and initiate that actionk wait a few minutes and check RAP again

are you doing this in a task sequence or what ?

watch it here Lots of R3 info ! cheers niall

and here's a video about R3 incase you missed it

or alternatively they could stay right here and get sample task sequences and webcasts http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1633-sample-xp-to-windows-7-task-sequences/

The availability of Windows 7 Enterprise (Eval) 90-day Trial is being extended to Dec 31, 2010. Intended primarily for IT pros, the 90-day trial is the full-featured Enterprise SKU that will enable any organization to explore, test hardware and applications, perform pilot activities, and develop deployment scenarios. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/cc442495.aspx

ok i'll do a webcast about this soon to clear it up, but in the mean ime I don't have to run the ccmsetup.exe? nope Where Do I find the RAP? on the reference? rap is on the client, in control panel, it is Run Advertised Programs The Capture TS got the autologin_enable Program allready involved in the Autologin via registry Task I hope the automagicle .xml will do its magic i'm sure it will (autologin)

no worries ! this is the right place to be a noob, the file is there, somewhere, see here how to find it and how to enable F8 http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/546-how-can-i-troubleshoot-windows-pe-booting-in-sccm/ cheers niall

it's a good question, where i'm currently at is in the midst of being ugpraded from SMS to SCCM, and with that getting SUP implemented, OSD, windows 7 and so on, there are 6 or so sms/sccm admins managing (i'm one) doing various tasks such as application packaging,dsitribution, troubleshooting, patch management, and so on, the task are split up because the company is global so there always has to be something done somewhere, i'm dealing with the server upgrade, SUP implementation, and OSD (windows xp > windows 7), i sometimes do packaging too cheers niall

ok can you post the SMSTS.log file here please

you obviously removed more than you needed, as the error means as follows: 12 USMT_FAILED_MIGSTARTUP (Error in XML file ‘Bad XML’) so take another look at your xml's and check for typos etc cheers niall

R3 Beta Released! Configuration Manager 2007 R3 Beta has been released! As a member of the Configuration Manager 2007 R3 Open Beta program you can download at this Connection via the downloads tab. https://connect.microsoft.com/

if you need to add IIS and other server type roles then MDT integration will make it easy (for server roles and features), otherwise you'll have to script it all.
