Somehow this seems to have autoresolved itself on my ConfigMgr server. i had added 2 boot images from the installation ISO downloaded from VLSC, but the service still crashed. This morning i added a MDT x64 boot image to create a bootable USB as PXE was not working. A couple of hours later the support guy from Microsoft sent me an IM that he wanted to take a screen of the distmg.log while he started the WDS service. i then saw that the service was started so i tested a PXE boot and it worked..?!? So my setup now is 3 bootimages on PXE, 2 from installation media both x86 and x64 and one MDT x64. the once from installation media has no drivers while the one from MDT has a bunch of drives added to it. i wont be doing anything with these until i get an answer from Microsoft support about a more stable solution as i have a feeling that if i restart the server it could crash again. I had also installed reporting services and restarted the server but i dont Think it is related, had Before restarted the SCCM server about 20 times.

just got an IM from the support guy at Microsoft, they apperently have alot of cases regarding this issue and need to Contact the Product team

I have the exact same error, have tried uninstalling PXE, WDS, ADK 8.1 installed all over again, if i look at the crash logg it seems to crash when WIMGAPI.DLL is loaded, the system32 one is version 6.3.9600.16412 and the wimgapi from ADK 8.1 released after okt 17 is 6.3.9600.16411, dont know if this matters but i read an old post about different versions of wimgapi. i tried installing the old version of ADK 8.1, same error so wimgapi is probobly not the reason, does anyone have a valid solution for this becouse at the moment our deployment is not working. I have opened a ticket with Microsoft and i hope i have a solution soon.

Hi. When i deploy a computer i use a HTA to prompt for primary user and it works when its a new computer that does not exist in SCCM. I install computer with computer name "Deploy1" with primary user "user1" and it works. i redeploy this machine with computer name "Deploy2" with primary user "user2" What happens is that "user2" is not assigned to computer "Deploy2" he is assigned to "Deploy1" and as expected "user1" is still assigned to "Deploy1" is this to be expected or am i doing something wrong?

I edited pollewops HTA some to include prompts for Primary User and Computer name. Edit domain on line 113 or remove it if you have mulitple. There is also a check on line 104 to 109 to check that the username and computername is between 5 and 10 / 15 characters. The computername is also changed to upercase characters. And as before on line 98 change password and line 57 to 64 is the footer. also replace the logo.jpg with your own. I removed the checkbox for show password, cool feature but we never used it and i didnt get how to implement it with 2 new prompts. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18716620/Password.zip <title>Prompt for password</title> <HTA:APPLICATION ID="objAutoRefresh" APPLICATIONNAME="Auto Refresh" SCROLL="no" SINGLEINSTANCE="yes" WINDOWSTATE="maximize" icon="icon.ico" SHOWINTASKBAR="no" SYSMENU="no" > <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="skin.css"> <script language=vbscript> sub activate(thebutton) thebutton.classname="btnb" end sub sub activate2(thebutton) thebutton.classname="btnc" end sub sub deactivate(thebutton) thebutton.classname="btna" end sub sub lblactivate(thebutton) thebutton.classname="lblb" end sub sub lblactivate2(thebutton) thebutton.classname="lblc" end sub sub lbldeactivate(thebutton) thebutton.classname="lbla" end Sub </script> </head> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript"> on error resume next Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set objOSD = CreateObject("Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment") Sub Window_Onload window.resizeTo 700,500 window.moveTo ((screen.availWidth \ 2) -

ended up reinstalling the DP and that solved the problem

i tried to remove the folder smssig$ and update a package and it worked once. it create a tar file for that package id but when i tried to update Another one the error started again.

Hi. ive got the same problem in RTM

Yes uninstalled removed all traces of the old console including rightclick Tools and sccm toolkit. then reinstalled.

I have the exakt same error. anyone gotten past this?

I wrote a post on it awhile back. https://tjindarr.wordpress.com/2012/03/30/deploy-exe-files-as-a-msu-deployment-type/

Running just setup.exe shuold be fine ive done it before. Make sure you set the right "experience" or whatever its called on the page where you set product key. Select the one with absolutely no interaction. And also make sure you check the "install from task sequence without being advertised"

Did you set the SMSTSAssignUserMode to Auto on the collection or via task sequence variable? If its not set the default value is "Pending" and will wait for approval.

Yes it has been released, downloadable from microsofts volume licensing portal. There are 5 different "Packs" of the System Center suite that includes different products of the suite.

Sorry about the typo. A MSI file is better in every way but this is just in case. I work for a industrial company and it alot of the appliactions we use for our machines are very old. You know the 256 bit setup background picture with a guy in a hardhat holding a wrench... And with this i can almosr create my own MSI deployment within SCCM awsome!!

I did a quick search and couldn´t find anything so i messed around a little and it wasn´t to hard so i wrote this. http://tjindarr.wordpress.com/2012/03/30/deploy-exe-files-as-a-msi-deployment-type/

Hello. im working in my labb to setup SCCM 2012 and would like some help to put together a simple HTA to prompt for password, computername and primary user. Im right now using 3 different scripts / HTA to prompt for this information all of them from this forum I use the HTA to prompt for password as i dont want the password shown in cleartext and the computername and UDA is 2 scripts that just use a inputbox. I would like these 2 to be a second step to the HTA, Prompt for password then 2 boxes for primary user and computername. And if its possible that you only need to input username and not domain\username (we only have one domain) Thanks in advance! HTAPASS.zip

Nevermind got it sorted Thanks pollewops for an awsome script. And anyweb for the "how to display hta" guide

how would i go about implementing this into a task sequence? is it as easy as the one above?

Solved it by adding a login script that initiates the user and machine policy action. Tried it on a couple of computers and there status quickly changed from "no" to "yes" under client

im not really sure what log to check...

Got it sorted out. was to quick and didnt read the guide i found carefully enough the script is finished as it is. Just add it to a task sequence just after the SCCM client installation and run it as an account with the proper permission. "filename.vbs" adgroup1 adgroup2 adgroup3 Found all this here http://ccmexec.com/?p=364

The move is done. I ended completely removing the old SCCM installation and begun from scratch again. Its now up and running on a Server 2008 R2 and a seperate Server 2008 R2 running SQL server 2008 R2. running really smoothly. The only problem i ran into was that the SPN was not set for the user running the SQL services.

Shouldent that restart when the computer restarts?

Ive just set up a new SCCM server and uninstalled the old one, the reason for this is that the old one was a test from the begining and we implemeted it into our production enviroment becouse lack of time. Now ive setup a new one with server 2008 R2 and the SQL database is on a seperate SQL server 2008R2. The problem im having is that about 70% of the CCM clients are not reporting back to the server that the client is installed. I´ve checked about 10 computers in our domain and the client is installed the the sitecode is correct. If i go to control panel > Configuration Manager and check under actions i have machine and user policy retrieval..... When i run these 2 the client shows up as installed on the SCCM console. Is there a way to trigger these 2 with a login script or a GPO? I really really dont wanna go around starting those actions on 400 computers.
