Hi I have a working MDT 2008 (WAIK 1.1) (Server = 2003) that I use for Windows XP deployment. I recently started using it to deploy Windows 7 (Pilot Phase) and had success with older hardware (like HP 5100, 5500 etc). We recently bought some laptops (IBM Lenovo T410) and I am trying to deploy the image to these laptops but when I PXE boot and type in my network credentials I get the following errors: Invalid credentials: The network path not found and when I click Cancel I get the following: "A connection to the deployment share (\\...\Distribution$) could not be made. The deployment will not proceed. The following network device did not have a driver installed. PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10EA&SUBSYS_215317AA&REV_06" The network card is Intel® 82577LM Gigabit. I have added the NIC driver to the "Out of box drivers" node in MDT. I have run "Update" under the Deployment Points. I have re-added the new boot image (disbaled the old boot image) in WDS and restarted the server in the WDS console...but nothing worked. The reference Windows 7 image is a 32 bit image, the boot image is also 32 bit (x86). Any help is appreciated....thanks

I found what the problem was. In the "Build and Capture Task Sequence" under the "Capture the Reference Machine", the Destinatation had the correct path but I did not include the file name like "capture.wim".....I was under the impression that the file will be created during the Capture process....but I was wrong.....anyhow I have a capture.wim file and now I am moving to the next section "Deploy....." thanks for all your help guys

Hi In SCCM, I am trying to create a collection of all workstations that have duplicate GUID....can anyone please guide me on how to accomplish this.....thanks

I am able to ping the server SCCMTEST1 (when in F8) When I try to use this command; net use h: \\sccmtest1\pkgs it prompts for username and password, I think it should not prompt for credentials (although after I provide the credentials it maps the drive). I checked my Task Sequence and I have the correct user name (test.com\administrator and I re-typed the password like several times). So what is confusing to me is that from the start of this Build & Capture process, it connects to the server, gets the Task Sequence, gets boot image, gets Windows 7 OS files, installs the config manager client using the same credentials.....but fails right at "Capture" and the problem seems to be the user credentials. :angry:

Here you go....thanks smsts-20100226-090711.log

I gave the "Everyone" group full permissions (Share/NTFS) on the \\sccmtest1\pkgs share and started the Build & Capture process all over but I got the same error Task Sequence: Build and Capture Windows 7 has failed with error code 0x80070005................ Help please !!!

Thanks anyweb By removing the product key I was able get as far as "Capture the reference computer" and then I got ".....unable to capture 0x8007000g error....more detail is below.... I rebooted the computer thinking it would try the capture again but it did not, I got the "Windows 7 Professional" window with "Country or region, Time and currency....." window. The \\sccmtest1\pkgs share has full share permissions (and Security Permissions) for the domain\administrator account and Everyone Read. I added domain\administrator account when I setup the Capture and Deploy TS. So, question is at this point how do i capture the WIM file......thanks BTW, from which error code (from my previous post) did you find out that I was using a product key? ******************************************************************************************************** Msg ID: 11141 The task sequence execution engine failed execution of a task sequence.

Hi It is a physical machine.....and I just added the NIC drivers in "Drivers" node of SCCM and have not tried the Image capture yet. I am assuming that smsts.log file is going to be on the client PC. If correct then I will have to use some utility like BartPE to access the C: drive since the there is no OS on the PC. I am getting "Server error in application Default Website/SMSReporting_SiteCode) so that is why I cannot look at the reports but I did find some errors (posted below) in the Advertisement Status: Msg ID: 11170 Source: SMS Client Comp: Task Sequence Manager The task sequence manager could not successfully complete execution of the task sequence.

Hi I was able to fix the PXE issue (I needed to add/configure the WDS role on server 2008 and couple of other things like add the computer account to the collection, update the distribution point etc) Now I am stuck at the "Running action: Setup Windows and ConfigMgr..." (which is right after the C: drive gets formatted). I am getting the following error: Task Sequence: Build and Capture Win 7 has failed with the error code 0x80004005........ I looked at the task sequence (in the Config Mgr Console) and did not see anything that could cause this. However I do not have any drivers added in the "Drivers" and "Driver Packages" nodes in SCCM. I am not sure if that is what is causing the error or not. The reference computer is IBM Lenovo ThinkCentre m55p. Any help is appreciated...

Well, I did not want to setup DHCP on my Server 2008 but I guess there is no other option. I just configured the 66 and 67 Scope option and client is at least getting the IP address (at PXE boot).....now it is at the "TFTP...." prompt....lets see how that goes thanks

That was it...thanks Eswar Now I am at the PXE boot step. My Server is not DHCP....all the clients and server have static IP addresses. I have added the "ConfigMgr PXE service point" role on the SCCM server but when I reboot a client PC to PXE boot I get the following at DOS prompt "Client MAC Address xx xx xx xx xx xx" "DHCP .......|" then after 15-20 seconds I get this "PXE-E51: No DHCP or proxyDHCP offers were received" "PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent" thanks

I see an empty box....attached is the screenshot....thanks

Hi I just setup my lab environment as follows; Windows 2008 Server SP2 (domain controller, isolated network...not connected to the internet) SCCM 2007 SP2, SQL 2005 SP3, WSUS 3.0 SP2 (also on the same server) Windows XP Pro SP2 Windows Vista Bus SP2 As far as I can tell, it is a fully functional SCCM environment. I am going through the "Build and Capture" part of Windows 7 deployment and I am stuck at the "Browse and pick your Config Client Installation from definition"....when I click "browse" I do not see and "Client Installation" package. What am I missing, any help is appreciated...... regards
