No you should not use ,if u do so,you will not be able to loginto domain controlloer.

You have lots of guides avilable on this forum...make use of them...try the suggestions posted by Niall.

look at this blog why does this happens when u use the WIM file from installation media http://blogs.technet.com/b/inside_osd/archive/2007/08/08/why-does-vista-end-up-on-the-d-drive.aspx .try to capture image with installation media isn ur OSD process.

Are you using the .wim from the installation media. Use a task sequence to create a reference PC, capture that to a .wim and use that .wim in your OSD process. Microsoft made the original install.wim files on the DVD from the D:\. SO if you install those you get a D:\ for your OS. look at this technet blog why it happens http://blogs.technet.com/b/inside_osd/archive/2007/08/08/why-does-vista-end-up-on-the-d-drive.aspx

I dont have console with me but try with these steps : create a TS step 1:run command line with action cmd.exe /c md "C:\Program Files\App" Step 2: Create a package with what files u need to copy to above package,distribute it to DP's. create TS action with command line xopcy * "C:\Program Files\App" and select the package above. Step 3:To install the package,create a command line action with cmd.exe /c install.exe with above package as source. for more info look at it http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1735-using-offline-mode-in-windows-pe-using-usmt-4-via-a-task-sequence-in-sccm-2007-sp2/

Take a look at this post http://eskonr.com/20...plified-manner/ .there are some changes to the SQL views from SMS 2003 to SCCM 2007 environment. try the query posted on my blog. You amy also refer this report for patch statistics sccm 2007 with summary of failed,installed etc http://eskonr.com/2011/05/another-patch-statistics-report-for-sccm-2007/

can you check if the client is installed successfully(able to locate its MP and site by looking at locationservices.log and clientlocation.log) and then check if all the client agents are avalable in configuration manager applet before you troubleshoot. http://eskonr.com/2010/11/sccm-client-installation-troubleshooting-steps-check-list/ to install the SCCM client using client ,you have to configure client push installation account (this account have local admin rights on the target computers) i suppose you could have done this. Please check ccm.log from your site server for client push installation staus.

can you try extending Scheema and wait for sometime until it publish the attrbutes in AD and see how it works. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680608.aspx

am not clear on what you needed .Are you looking for how to create WIM file using MDT? OR looking for how to create VHD using WIM file ?

is this happening only with this application or all apps same error ? did you installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable on client machine ? http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=14431

can you check the distmgr.log for more info about the issue. check if you(sccm site) have access to the souce package.

the first query will result all users from AD sec group but the sec query will result computers... you can not create a collection in this way AFAIK. what are you trying to do with this ? (creating collection to list users and computers )

How about this ? http://blog.coretech.dk/kea/running-a-custom-notification-before-installing-a-program-with-configuration-manager/

easy way to right click on the boot image and look under Win PE Tab for drivers ? add only NIC and storage drivers to the boot image .

do you want to import computers using direct memersip rule which are avilable from excel sheet? or create query based collection ?

Here you go SCCM 2012 Beta 2 http://www.microsoft...5d-d4b216061957

look at smsts.log ...use F8(command prompt) to find if system gets IP address or not ?

try the view "V_add_remove_programs"with column "InstallDate0" with filter display name "security update"

0x80004005---> Access Denied do you see the window for assigned task sequences if there are any? did you assign any task seqeunces to unknonw computers ? what does smspxe.log says from site server(SMS_CCM) folder ?

probably u can try the below query to get the results:you can also modify script to pipe the results into excel. Set objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo") strComputerDN = objSysInfo.ComputerName Set objComputer = GetObject("LDAP://" & strComputerDN) strFullDNSName = objComputer.dnsHostName strHostNameOnly = left(strFullDNSName, instr(strFullDNSName, ".") - 1) Wscript.Echo strHostNameOnly BTW,Did u enable longer names in the computer account of the Active Directory domain. by default if the computer name is more than 15 characters ,it will take only first 15 characrts and join the computer to domain AFAIK.

Try this Script: on Error Resume Next Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objinputfile=fso.OpenTextFile("computers.txt",1,True) Set objoutputfile=fso.OpenTextFile("status.csv",2,True) Do While objinputfile.AtEndOfLine <> True strcomputer=objinputfile.ReadLine Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer) If Err.Number <> 0 Then objoutputfile.WriteLine(strcomputer & space(15-len(strcomputer)) & "is not reachable") Err.Clear Else strFileName = "D:\FileName.Txt" Const OverwriteExisting = True FSO.CopyFile strFileName, "\\" & strComputer & "\C$\" objoutputfile.WriteLine (strcomputer & "," & space(15-len(strcomputer)) & "File Copy done") End If Loop MsgBox "Done" Bold Letters requires modifications.

I use the below script to set the desktop wallpaper: 'Below is the script to change your desktop wallpaper. You just need to modify the script to point to the location where the 'wallpaper is located. 'You can then include this script in your Domain's Group Policy's login or startup script.
