I had a handful of 790's that have done it but I havent looked into it further. However, it hasn't happened in a while. I rebuilt the image with a spare Win7 machine i had and a capture disk and then rebuilt the boot image with the drivers. Im not sure of what the issue was because the boot image is nearly identical to the old one, but so far so good.

Quick question.... We have been deploying Win7 for a almost a year with no issues except for a few machines that dont seem to want to image. I'd say out of every 100 machines we image we will have 1 that fails with the PSE-E53 error. I've double checked the PXE boot settings and have updated the DP with both x64/x86 boot images with no success. The stranger part is that its mostly all of the same model machines and some have failed right out of the box. Example: We un-box 25 Dell Optiplex 790's. 24 image while 1 fails with PXE-53 error. We have collected 8 machines now that we are unable to image. I'm out of ideas and any help would be appreciated.

That did help to a point... I have sat with it and have found out the following. The machine restarts after the driver install and "Setup Windows and ConfigMgr". This is when it begins setting up windows while the software installs. As long and the software installs before Windows setup is complete everything is good. If there are too many installs Windows setup will complete and the installs will be terminated.

its all ilne by line single installs with no queries.. im setting up multiple install now to see if that helps. I always thought that the process should wait and that is the strange part. it gets through the first part and then the Win7 setup starts (Setup configuring... for the first time) while the software is being installed.

I am having a strange problem with "Software Installation" that I am hoping someone can help with. We have a normal list of about 8 programs that we install with our Win7 OSD and everything works fine. However, I added programs to the Software Install list and now Windows Setup is finishing before the software installs. Is there a limited number of programs you can install with a OSD? We are on a very secured network so I am unable to post pics or links, but I will explain the best i can... Task looks like this: Install OS: restart in Win PE Partition Disk Install Win7 Apply Win Settings Join Domain Driver Install: Driver packages Setup OS: Setup Win and ConfigMgr Software Installation: (list of 17 misc. programs) The new task has almost 40 programs under Software Installation and it gets through most, but the problem is that Win7 does its reboots during setup and the software install is getting cutoff when setup is finished and reboots to the login screen. Is there a way to allow the Software Install more time to complete or is a separate task for the Software Install the only option?

Everything went well. We rebuilt the boot image again and it started working all of a sudden. Now we are having an issue with importing driver packages from Dell. They import fine, but when we click on the driver folder nothing is listed. The package status shows as "Installed"

Hello, I am hoping that someone has seen this before or can at least point me in the right direction. We have been using SCCM for imaging and everything was working fine until suddenly we were getting iastor.sys missing errors after the first restart. Shortly after that we started to get that error when initially connecting to the machines. I thought it was the boot image so I deleted and recreated and now the WDS service is hanging and shows as started but I can't find it under the processes. Has anyone ever had anything like this happen? It seems like SCCM just decided to quit working.
