Hi, I have attached the log, I removed everything except for yesterday and a screen shot of the drivers tab. Thanks Vince dism.log

Hi Anyweb, So I thought to myself I will redistribute the image to be sure I have distributed it after I enabled command support and it errors. I tried again this time reloading the image from ADK but it still errors. I also tried the F8 key press at the password screen and that does not work. I checked the drivers and there all listed as signed.

Hi All, SCCM 1802. I have two boot images, 32 and 64 bit. Both have Enable Command Support ticked. I have one build TS and it is booting the 64 bit boot image. The laptop is set to UEFI. At boot it displays the TS list, we select the only one there and the laptop begins running the TS. It gets to a point "Applying OS to C drive" and errors. Timeout is 14 mins and if we press F8 nothing happens. I really need to get the logs off this machine but I am remote to it. Ive tried adding some steps into the TS to collect the logs but thats failing to create anything in my share. I dont understand why the F8 key press is not working though. Does anyone have any advice they can offer?

Hi All, I have a working 2012 solution in place. It is currently only intranet/http. I wanted to extend it out to the internet so I followed this to setup and issue the certs "https://www.systemcenterdudes.com/internet-based-client-management/" I have published the SCCM server through our Kemp LB on ports 443 and 80. I have a test machine off the LAN, I have modified the Network tab with the FQDN of the SCCM server as published in WAN dns and it shows PKI and Internet when the VPN is disconnected and Intranet when the VPN is connected but it doesnt recieve any microsoft updates when the internal machines do. On the SCCM console the test machine shows as inactive with 12 days since last comms. The assigned management point is the servers name and domain. And in the logs I can see errors connecting to this server when using ssl. I have issued certificates to the server using the web address and am thinking the ssl handshake is not happy that I am talking to server.domain.local and the cert is issued to webaddress.domain.com Should I be renaming the server to the same as the webaddress so instead of sccore01.domain.local systemcentre.domain.local? As always any help or advice would be greatfully received.

It looks like sophos was the problem. I disabled with a new policy and the file copied over successfully.

Hi All, I hope you can help as I am pulling my hair out now. I have an environment setup and working fine until this problem. We created a new WIM file and tried to distribute the content to one of the secondary servers running PXE. It failed with Error 13 and Error 8 in the despooler log. I proceeded to add more and more disk first to the OS drive and then, when I decided there must be enough free space, to the content disks. I got to a point where I had spent a long time on this so I tried to distribute the content to other servers thinking it was "Corrupt Data" but the dist succeeded and we were also able to build from it successfully. This sent me back to looking at the server it failed on and eventually I deleted the server (VM) and re-depoloyed as a shiny new 2012 R2 server, 2008 R2 before. I have named it the same as the old server but I deleted the old server from the SCCM console and deployed it again. Now I have only distributed this one WIM to this new server and it is giving me the exact same errors. I have attached screen shots of the despooler log and to show the space is available the drive stats. I cannot for the life of me figure this out anymore unless there is some SQL corruption that need sorting Thanks for any advice/help you can offer. Vince

I think ive made progress now. Im no longer receiving the Key does not exist error but it failing to evaluate the => I have set so I guess that could be because its a string in the registry. I have called the script in a package via a TS. Im going to try using a dword in the reg now and see how that goes.

Again the variable just gets converted to a long number Failed to execute command line 'for /f "tokens=2* delims=E" 0.000000 in ('WMIC ComputerSystem GET Model /value') do set "Model=0.000000" if "AMD64"=="AMD64" ( Set ENV=C:\WINDOWS\syswow64) else ( Set ENV=C:\WINDOWS\system32) 6.894164E-317NV\REG.exe ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion" /v Model /t REG_SZ /d "Model" /f' . The system cannot find the file specified. (Error: 80070002; Source: Windows)

Hi and thanks for that. I wrote a script, yes to tatoo the model number in the registry, via a deployed Package before the event. Later I will deploy the task sequence that will only run if the registry key is greater than or equal to 7440. Should I create a DWORD Key for the model? I knew about the echo but thought I would remove it once I had a running solution! Ill try your script out. Thx. P.S. The model in wmi is from memory Lattitude E7440 so my original solution was searching the wmi response to find the position of E and then saving the chars after that to a variable and putting it into a registry key. It all looked like it was working except the package/script wrote to the 64 bit registry and the TS reads the 32bit registry and reports the key does not exist.

Hi Dudi, I tried this two ways. I created a new script *.cmd, placed inside a package and created a new TS. I used the command line option and entered the script name and the package but this fails with the error ) is not expected at this time. I tried with and without cmd /c. I also tried just entering the full command from the script into the command box inside the TS without the Package defined but this replaces the %A from %Addresswidth% with a number and returns an error "The file could not be found!". Any ideas on which solution I should chase and what I should do to resolve the errors? I've attached screen grabs. Thanks Vince

Hi Dudi, Thanks. should I put that before my script? Ie. if %AddressWidth%==64 ( echo "64 bit ENV" Set ENV=%windir%\syswow64) else ( echo "32 bit ENV" set ENV=%windir%\system32)%ENV%\reg import "%~dp0PS_Bypass.reg" FOR /F "tokens=2* delims=E" %%A IN ('WMIC ComputerSystem GET Model /Value') DO REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion /f /v Model /t REG_SZ /d %%A exit

Hi all, Im running SCCM 1702, client is windows 10 64. I am struggling with an issue related to registry redirector on windows 64bit os. I have created a batch file that queries WMI for the model, in this case of my dell laptops, and then creates a registry key using the "REG ADD" command in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Model REG_SZ. EG 7440. I've deployed this as a package and now can see the registry key in the WOW6432Node key! I have then created a Task Sequence, and on the parent group, set an evaluation on this registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Model and also on HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Model so that if the model number in the reg key is greater than 7440 then the TS will continue to run. I have used an OR condition. I hoped this would query both but it seems to only look in the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\ node. I have deployed this but can see on my test laptop in the SMSTS.log file the following <![LOG[Registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Model does not exist]LOG]! and then <![LOG[The group (Is the device higer than E7440) has been skipped because the condition is evaluated to be false]LOG]!

This may or may not be related but they are failing to synchronise packages too. On the second server I left it out of the DP Group as the "Configuration Manager Client Package" is failing and I have no options other than redistribute and validate on it. I was hoping that if I didn't overwhelm the server with lots of packages at once that it would successfully download this client, but it has also failed.

Hi All, Does anyone know how to resolve/troubleshoot the issue im having. I have a parent site and a number of secondary sites. The secondary sites are PXE boot servers in different remote sites. I have installed two new secondary sites but the password field on the PXE tab will not retain the password I enter and the tick box un-ticks itself. I have no idea where to start troubleshooting this issue. Thanks for any advice you can offer. Vince

Not sure if this is aimed at me or Garrett but I have patched the image and it still exhibits this behaviour. Like I said I just un-assign the 64bit after I finish and everything goes back to normal.

I have found though that if I deploy the X64 boot image to just one task sequence, every new build boots initially with the x64 image and then downloads the x86 boot image, the one assigned to most task sequences, and tries to boot it but fails. I have to remove the x64 boot image from the task sequence when I am finished and everything goes back to normal. The only thing I have needed x64 for is to build my windows 10 image.

Hi Zeze. Thanks, I did follow the instructions to the letter. I had left the old version deployed too. It looks like un-deploying that has resolved my issue. Thanks

Hi all, I hope you are having a great day. I need some advice please, please bear with me this might take some explaining. I am trying to capture a windows 10 image. First up I created the task sequence and am using ADK10 1511. The build was successful and then the laptop reboots to capture but I get the error in the log “Initializing hardware devices” with the error: “Windows PE initialization failed with error code 0x80220014." I found the article about the ADK10 1511 boot images and the associated fix, https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/configmgrteam/2015/11/20/issue-with-the-windows-adk-for-windows-10-version-1511/ https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/3143760 I followed the fix and imported the new boot image, I added the drivers I was using on the previous boot image and tried to boot a laptop. Now I have a laptop that PXE boots but doesn't show the cutom jpg I assigned on the customization tab and doesn't give me the command prompt upon pressing F8 even though I have enabled command support, eventually the laptop just reboots. Ive added some screen shots. Does anyone know where I should go from here? Thanks for any help/advice Vince

Hi All, Could anyone help me out by detailing the steps I need to take to get the UK language pack installed during the build? I am deploying windows 10 and have just noticed that the Display language is US and cannot be changed to UK. I am using an unnattended.xml to set the regional options to UK but I need to get the language pack in for the display language. Thanks V

This is working now, im using win10PE boot images and also "Apply driver package" instead of "Apply device drivers" now.

Hi all, Im trying to do a straight forward copy process during the task sequence. First I tried to place the file in \\SCCM_Server\Sources\packages\ and use a run command line function calling xcopy "fqdn_file location" "c:\programdata\folder\folder" but that failed with cannot find the file specified. Then I tried creating a package with no program. The package has the file in, has been distributed, and I am again using the Run command line but this time I am selecting the package option and choosing the package I created with the command line of copy "%~dp0filename.xml" "C:\Programdata\folder\folder" but that doesnt work either. I tried without the %~dp0 as ive only just discovered that but that dont work either. The smsts log returns <![LOG[Failed to execute command line 'copy "~dp0anyconnect_GroupUK.xml" "C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\Profile"' . The system cannot find the file specified. (Error: 80070002; Source: Windows)]LOG]!><time="11:30:18.403+00" date="03-17-2016" component="InstallSoftware" context="" type="3" thread="5028" file="runcommandline.cpp:562"> I need to also copy a batch file to the desktop to complete the build process after windows installs. Does anyone have and experience of this they can share? Thanks Vince

Ok it looks like its just started working. I navigated to the folder .\RemoteInstall\SMSImages and the log reported Now the error has gone about architecture and devices are PXE booting again!

Ok I got carried away and removed all of the boot images. I have now added back in just the Win10PE ones as you can see in the above screen shot. I have enabled both for distribution. My client just says "No response from the Windows Deployment Services Server." and I continue to get the Matching Architecture warning. I have attached a new version of the log. smspxe.txt

I haven't got to the point of choosing a task sequence yet, this is just booting so I can see the task sequences and then pick one.
