I do believe that MP is one reason why schema needs to be extended, because clients will query the AD to find the MP point. Did you extend the schema now? If so everything should be good.

Reasoning you didnt extend the AD Schema?

Hi guys, I want to start by saying that I believe I know the answer but this is wishful thinking. Our goal is to create 1 Task Sequence for our 100k+ desks. The problem is that we have some offices that have extremely slow and unreliable internet connections, satelite for example in the African fields. So the problem occurs is that we dont want to have those sites to download the 26Gb+ of driver packages but of course if its advertised within the task sequence, the task sequence will fail if not within the local DP. So I am wondering is there any way that the task sequence will not use those packages if its part of a certain primary site? Thank you, George S.

Nothing server side?

Is the SMSPXE.log the log I should take a look even if I dont boot from PXE but from media?

Hi guys, I am new here, first of all want to compliment on the amount of ressources and useful information within these forums. First of all my environment is SCCM 2007 R3. I am running into issues with deploying some baremetal machines. I am not able to deploy them or takes awhile after I play around in it to work. I am trying to identify what is I am doing wrong. I am booting from media so NO PXE BOOT. What is driving me crazy is that this issue does not occur all the time. These are the steps I am using: Right Click on the new task sequence and press Advertised Within the advertise Wizard, I choose the proper collection, I make sure the "Make this task sequence available to media and PXE" is checked, make advertisement mandatory, and choose defaults for the rest. Then I right click on Computer Association and select "Import Computer Information" / "Import Single Computer" and fill out a new Computer name and the mac address of the PC. At that moment I should be able to simply boot from my media and this should work but it doesnt. So I have a couple of questions? Is my procedure flawed? What are the logs I could view to make sure that the task sequence (advertisement) is good to go with the proper collection? Is there a delay I need to wait? Is it normal that nothing appears under Computer Association? I was under the impression the computer name/MAC should appear after I add it.
