I am deploying Windows 11 24H2 in our environment, but I have a rather annoying issue. When my OSD TS reaches the "Setup Windows and Configuration Manager" task, the PC reboots and all of the rest of the TS is hidden behind the "Just a moment" black screen. If the user is patient, the OSD completes like normal. The problem is that users are sitting down and seeing the "just a moment" screen and rebooting the PC. This causes a bunch of issues. Yes, I realize this is a user issue, but I am trying to make my life easier. I have searched extensively on Google and keep finding people talking about adding a reboot after the "Setup Windows and Configuration Manager" step or using an unattend.xml file that skips the OOBE step. If I add a reboot into the TS I get the progress screen back, but apps that I am deploying fail to install with the 87d00269 error. This is only an issue with applications, packages install just fine. I haven't tried the unattend.xml route yet because I have been reading that this is now unsupported. Has anyone got this working reliably with a supported method? Or if the unattend.xml is the way to go, which settings do I need to apply? The articles I have found are all for Windows 10 and have very different recommendations. I am running MECM 2409, Windows ADK 10.1.26100.2454, Client 5.00.9123.1011 Thanks for your help

Hi all, I'm new to SCCM (this is day 4), and I'm trying to get some laptops that are only connected with Wifi to run an OSD, including a domain join, all the way through. By having it cache the files locally, I've gotten pretty far. I used USMT to preserve a netsh wifi export xml file. Now, where I'm stuck is getting that xml imported as the first thing that happens after the first reboot, and I'm not sure how, because none of the steps in the TS are very descriptive in what all they are doing or when the reboot is happening. Now, I know I can make an image with the xml in there, and I can also do a join domain from setupcomplete with a powershell script. BUT... I'd like to do this in a way that is not image dependent, if possible, and using the SCCM domain join network setup function to keep my boss happy. So my question is, where do I put the netsh wlan add command in the series of steps, and also what is the best syntax for that command (I've seen 'command not found' in the ccm logs, but that may be due to being in winPE, not sure). Thanks

Is it safe to chain an OS upgrade Task Sequence? For example, I've finally been able to upgrade Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 to Windows 10 Enterprise 1703, then once that upgrade is complete, I want it to immediately upgrade from 1703 - 1903. Will it work like this? Or do I need to create some sort of variable, etc. Thanks!

So, I have a few custom groups in my task sequence that install applications based upon some WMI queries using a naming convention. But I am having some issues trying to get it working exactly. Here is what I am trying to do. I have two groups. Employee and Labs. The naming convention for employees is LIB-AU and for the Labs its LIB-AUXXXXX-XX where the X's represent numbers I have this particular "If" statement. Here is the query in question that I currently have for employee SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE Not Name LIKE 'LIB-AU%-%' Here is the query for the labs group. SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE Name LIKE 'LIB-AU%-%' The behavior that occurs is that everything under the employees group installs to a system if it has the name "LIB-AUXXXXX-XX" - I don't want this to happen. I only want it to run the steps if it meets the 'LIB-AUXXXXX' naming, but otherwise skip it. The query for the "labs" group works fine. Any suggestions?

Hi all, I was trying to deploy a Task sequence, which I Copied from standard T.S. and made little change and trying to test it before using. This T.S. is to make BIOS system to UEFI system in boot (Dell system) and then install OS. But when I try to implement this its throwing an error code "0x80004005". I am pasting my SMSTS log file. Please help me. Log: please see the attachment.

I am new to Task Sequence. I am working on a task Sequence to convert BIOS (Legacy) mode systems to UEFI mode systems (Dell Laptops)(SCCM with MDT) . Can some share a task sequence to do so or share your experience to do so. Actually my requirement is to add these steps for PXE OSD win 10 1607 task sequence.

Hello everyone After 4 days fighting with Upgrade task sequence, I don't know what to do anymore As I can't use the custom Windows 10 image with OEM + Theme + Provisionned app removed in Upgrade task sequence I had to repeat the action within the Upgrade TS I used the Provisioning packages for Windows 10 way, generated a PPKG & tried : DISM /Online /Add-ProvisioningPackage /PackagePath:TOTO.ppkg DISM /Image:%OSDISK%\ /Add-ProvisioningPackage /PackagePath:TOTO.ppkg DISM.exe /Image=C:\ /Add-ProvisioningPackage /PackagePath:TOTO.ppkg none working So I tried the powershell way, executing my PS1 script from network share : powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command ".\removedefaultapps.ps1" echo "Uninstalling default apps" $apps = @( "Microsoft.3DBuilder" "Microsoft.Getstarted" "Microsoft.Messaging" "Microsoft.Microsoft3DViewer" "Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub" "Microsoft.MicrosoftSolitaireCollection" "Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes" "Microsoft.Office.OneNote" "microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps" "Microsoft.OneConnect" "Microsoft.People" "Microsoft.SkypeApp" "Microsoft.StorePurchaseApp" "Microsoft.WindowsFeedbackHub" "Microsoft.WindowsPhone" "Microsoft.WindowsStore" "microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps" "Microsoft.XboxApp" "Microsoft.XboxGameOverlay" "Microsoft.XboxIdentityProvider" "Microsoft.XboxSpeechToTextOverlay" "Microsoft.ZuneMusic" "Microsoft.ZuneVideo" ) foreach ($app in $apps) { echo "Trying to remove $app" Get-AppxPackage -Name $app -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -Online | where DisplayName -EQ $app | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online } Doesn't work If I run them (script OR PPKG) AFTER the tasks sequence (once logged in inside the upgraded computer) then it's working fine ! Any idea ? Thanks Antoine

So I have been on version 1702 for a few weeks now and at the start of this week, the deployments have been failing when the os is starting to be deployed. I have made no changes to the task. On Monday I was told that it failed to image a desktop. I looked at the logs and saw the 80070002 error looking more there are other errors none of them make any sense. I have double checked the Network access account nad redistributed the os package. I have even tried and built a new TS still the same results. Please help. I have attached the log file. smsts3.log Edit: I have looked at other issues like this and none of the suggestions have worked.

Hi guys, I've the issue that all Install Application Steps in my Win7 x64 Tasksequence fail, but Install Package Actions run normaly. I get Error:80004005 Source:Unknown. We use SCCM 2012 SP1 with CU2 installed. It would be create and would rescue my holidays if someone could help me with this Problem. I've attached the smsts.log for more details. Thx, Lars log1.log

Hi Everyone, I found a great link on TechNet regarding information on Prestaged TS. The author even provided a TS ZIP that I was able to import " ConfigMgr 2012 Task Sequence to apply Prestaged Media to multi-partitioned BIOS & UEFI PCs"The last successful action in the TS was to shutdown Win PE. From there when you boot the PC back up it fails at writing to the drive. I was wondering if someone else could recreate the issue I am seeing or provide a solution if got it work? Thanks in advance Apply Prestaged Media for BIOS and UEFI PCs - CM12.zip

Hi all, I'm in the midst of learning the OSD process that's handled by SCCM. My task sequence is using the default steps in order to minimise confusion / issues. The problem I'm facing is that during the disk partitioning steps, the C: partition isn't being set as active, so when the TS steps through to deploying the OS, it cannot find an area to put it. The key areas of the log are pasted below, but I've attached the entire log just in case. Any guidance would be thoroughly appreciated. Thanks in advance. ==============================[ OSDDiskPart.exe ]============================== OSDDiskPart 02/06/2016 10:56:24 1176 (0x0498) Command line: "osddiskpart.exe" OSDDiskPart 02/06/2016 10:56:24 1176 (0x0498) Succeeded loading resource DLL 'X:\sms\bin\x64\1033\TSRES.DLL' OSDDiskPart 02/06/2016 10:56:24 1176 (0x0498) Reading partition size info for partition 0 OSDDiskPart 02/06/2016 10:56:24 1176 (0x0498) Remaining size before partition: 256052966400 OSDDiskPart 02/06/2016 10:56:24 1176 (0x0498) size units: SIZE_MB OSDDiskPart 02/06/2016 10:56:24 1176 (0x0498) Set partition size: 367001600 OSDDiskPart 02/06/2016 10:56:24 1176 (0x0498) Remaining size after partition 0: 255685964800 OSDDiskPart 02/06/2016 10:56:24 1176 (0x0498) Set an environment variable for partitions 0-1 without drive letter OSDDiskPart 02/06/2016 10:56:24 1176 (0x0498) Reading partition size info for partition 1 OSDDiskPart 02/06/2016 10:56:24 1176 (0x0498) Remaining size before partition: 255685964800 OSDDiskPart 02/06/2016 10:56:24 1176 (0x0498) size units: SIZE_PERCENT OSDDiskPart 02/06/2016 10:56:24 1176 (0x0498) 100% size specified.

Hi, if you are using UDI wizard to deploy your OS and If you want to have drivers installed for same laptop/machine but different OS you need to add a condition for both packages: 1. First you configure the operating systems in UDI wizard, then their name (Image Name, NOT display Name!) is what counts. 2. Then you implement OS into UDI task sequence, and for that to work you also use OSDImageName variable. For example Windows 7 x64 Enterprise you Add condition->TS variable->OSDImageName equals "Windows 7 x64 Enterprise", I got that name from UDI wizard. For Windows 8 x64 the same, just make another step including Install Operating system Windows 8 and change the variable according to the name. 3. Then create install driver steps both for different OS and also add the condition like bellow: You have to specify both conditions in order to work, otherwise it will install both driver packages. Thanks,

Hi All, I am quite new to SCCM, but I'm slowing getting to grips with it. I am just wondering if there is way to add a PC to a collection and it then rebuild automatically. So far i have created a collection and deployed a TS to it as required. But i still have to PXE boot the PC for it to rebuild. IS there a way where it will PXE boot itself? For example if i open software store and tell it to re install the OS, it knows to PXE and start up in PE. Thanks, Craig.

I've been beating my head against the wall with this problem. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to further troubleshoot it. Let me know if you need further information. We have a couple task sequences for deploying Win7 Ent and Win7 pro to a variety of machines in our offices, and adding a couple of applications. These have been working fine, and continue to work fine with all machines except for some Lenovo Z570 laptops, which to my mind rules out any cert issues, as has been suggested by some posts I've found with similar problems and log entries. Parsing through SMSTS.log files with CMtrace.exe has given me some errors to look into online, but nothing I've found has been able to resolve the problem. It seems like the issue is with the OSDGina and Task Sequencing Environment from the logs. I believe the problem to be a driver install that is needed to be added, but can't be sure. Our task sequence is pretty basic. In the apply windows Settings, the local admin account is enabled, and password set. This was my first clue that the TS wasn't working as I was unable to login to the laptop after completion using it, instead getting a message about the account being disabled. Later, during Apply Network settings, the computer is set to join the domain, which it does successfully. I'm unable to successfully use the WMI query to install specific driver package a created, as the Model name query I'm using is reported as false. (I've tried a variety of model names, but think it's an issue with how Lenovo enters their info, or the fact that this is a refurbed machine, and may not have had that data entered correctly when repaired. I've also tried using the driver package query as Manufacturer like Lenovo, but that hasn't worked either. I've tried with a couple different task sequences, with and without wmi called specific driver package installations, and all are failing. Attached is a SMSTS.log file from the basic win7 pro TS with no driver package wmi call. and below is the end section . ==============================[ OSDSetupHook.exe ]============================== OSDSetupHook 3/3/2015 5:05:05 PM 2408 (0x0968) Logging successfully initialized to C:\_SMSTaskSequence\Logs OSDSetupHook 3/3/2015 5:05:05 PM 2408 (0x0968) Executing task sequence OSDSetupHook 3/3/2015 5:05:05 PM 2408 (0x0968) Loading the Task Sequencing Environment from "C:\_SMSTaskSequence\TSEnv.dat".

Hello All Been a many time reader of these great forums but first time asking for help. I have an issue with trying to run a task sequence. I have created a new wim through CM and originally I put down one of our servers as the save point for it. When I built the TS I selected this file as the windows image but when I ran the TS it failed at this point saying it couldn't find the file "a package referenced by the task sequence could not be found". I moved the wim to the SCCM local server as the distmgr.log said it couldn't find the file/or didn't have access rights to it. Again I got the same failure (I know it is this wim that's the problem because I swapped it for another wim in the same TS and it started loading fine). I have had a look at distmgr.log and these are, I think, the salient points: Taking package snapshot for package WS100166 from source \\whitgift-nas6\Software\SCCM 2012\Images\BaseImage.wim $$<SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER><11-13-2014 11:00:18.966+00><thread=8292 (0x2064)> Failed to find space for 15325096512 bytes. $$<SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER><11-13-2014 11:00:18.990+00><thread=8292 (0x2064)> CFileLibrary::FindAvailableLibraryPath failed; 0x8007050f $$<SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER><11-13-2014 11:00:18.991+00><thread=8292 (0x2064)> CFileLibrary::AddFile failed; 0x8007050f $$<SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER><11-13-2014 11:00:18.991+00><thread=8292 (0x2064)> CContentDefinition::AddFile failed; 0x8007050f $$<SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER><11-13-2014 11:00:18.992+00><thread=8292 (0x2064)> Failed to add the file.

Hello, Would anybody be able to assist me with instructions on how I can distribute a folder to "Users, Public, Public Desktop" I would like to add this to a functional existing task sequence, but I'm lacking the knowledge to do so. Any assistance from the users of this awesome forum would be GREATLY appreciated.

Just started having an issue when attempting to PXE into configmgr console for OSD. My machines will pxe to server, load boot image, load WinPE, prepare windows, load nic adapter, hang at 2012 SCCM splash scrren for about 20 seconds, then reboot. Would anybody happen to have a resolution to this issues we are seeing? I have redistibuted/updated distribution points in terms of content including boot images. This just started since i've moved and isolated this pxe service point to a new vlan. Thanks

Hello, i've had some success deploying WIndows 7 / 8.1 with bitlocker pre-provisioning. However today i've tried to bitlocker a Dell Latitude E6540 laptop and noticed the bitlocker pre provisioning step taking very long. After the wim file and the drivers are applied the disk is only encrypted to 8 % or so. After the setup configuration manager reboot the enable bitlocker ts step fails because the encryption is not completed. I've seen this behavior on older models (eg. Optiplex 960) but i would not have expected this to happen on new hardware. Has anyone experienced something similar ? I'm using: SCCM 2012 R2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Windows ADK 8.1 Boot Images with MDT Integration (64-Bit) Models i've successfully bitlockered so far: Dell Venue Pro 11 7130 Dell Latitude E7440 Dell Latitude E6520 At first i was suspecting missing cpu features, however it might also be larger and slower disks. On working models the disk is already encrypted when maybe 10 % of the wim file is downloaded. It looks like the encryption initially (after the pre provsion step) does not complete fast enough and when the download starts the system does not keep up downloading, applying and encrypting. If i pause the the task sequence before the first reboot the encryption completes and the task sequence completes successfully.

Hello all the experts out there. I have recently upgraded SCCM 2012 R2 and am now experiencing and issue with my task sequences not completing correctly. They all (Build, deploy, win7 and win8) get to the point where they install the client and then reboot straight into windows without installing updates or applications. Things I have checked: Boot image version is: 6.3.9600.16384 TS uses correct boot image TS is Newly created CM TS not MDT TS Network Account password I am using ADK 8.1 and MDT 2013 The smsts.log file has the strange error "Failed to get password, Failed to resume task sequence (0x80070057)" as seen in the attached. I am also sometimes getting this error as well "failed to register task sequence with the newly installed client" It also does not remove the _SMSTaskSequence folder created on C:\ Please help as this is driving me crazy Thanks in advance, Jason

Let me start by saying Thank you! for writing such awesome tutorials - you guys rock! I have somewhat of a unique (at least I think it's unique) situation. I have several remote sites that all have their own local ISPs - these sites are not networked to the point of being able to access the CAS directly. We are using Win 7 Enterprise so we can take advantage of MS DirectAccess and/or a 3rd party zero touch VPN client. My trouble(s) are this: I need to upgrade some Windows XP SP3 machines that reside in these 'independent' sites to Windows 7 Enterprise. I have created a TS on Standalone DVD Media which, in testing, works great with one exception: I can not seem to migrate the TCP/IP info from target machine into the newly imaged Win7Ent build. Each machine has a static IP address that must be reapplied in order for internet access to function. Per a company security policy, these sites do not have DHCP working locally. In my testing, I have not been successful in migrating the static TCP/IP values. In my TS, I have the enabled the setting under Capture File and Settings> Capture Network Settings > Migrate network adapter configuration... not sure why its not reapplying the configuration? I read in TechNet that if this is enabled, it should overwrite the step "Apply Network Settings" > "windows will configure network adapters to use DHCP by default..." sidenote: I also have the TS trying to migrate computername which is also not working as I believe it should. While this is not terribley important, it would save me some extra time when I have our helpdesk come back around and touch the machines to reinstall some peripherals which our locations must use.

We are currently running SCCM 2012 R2 on a Windows Server 2012 environment. We deploy Windows 8.1 - 64 bits through a task sequence. Our question is, is it possible to deploy a Wireless profile through a script/package during the OSD task sequence? I've fiddled around with a script using NETSH, and manually i'm able to import / export a profile. However, this only works in the current user context. Unfortunately you cannot use 'user context' driven packages in a task sequence. Is there another method? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a really odd problem that I’ve never seen before when deploying an OSD TS to an HP ProBook 6560b. I’m deploying Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit using Confg Manager 2012 SP1. I have the latest driver pack for this model from HP (sp61783.exe), and the correct driver pack is selected in the TS using a WMI query. The driver package is installed OK, however the wrong NIC driver is installed. The NIC is an Intel 82579V (PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1503), however the driver for the 82579LM (PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1502) gets installed. Checking the setupapi.dev.log I can see that in the first boot session (i.e. after SCCM has copied the drivers to the driverstore and the laptop reboots to install the drivers) the hardware is detected as DEV_1502. The 82579LM driver is selected and installed, however the device fails to start. After the next reboot in the TS the setupapi.dev.log shows that it has detected DEV_1503 and the 82579V driver is installed and the device starts. Things I’ve tested so far: A driver package with only the NIC driver in case another driver was causing the issue. Installing no drivers at all – the device is still detected as the 82579LM. Creating a new driver package. Several different versions of the driver including the latest from Intel rather than HP. A different install.wim (the original just has IE9 slipstreamed, but I get the same result from the install.wim from the Win7 ISO). Running the TS using standalone media. A couple of interesting things: It’s not a hardware problem as it build correctly in our SCCM 2007 environment – using the same drivers. The same TS works correctly on a ProBook 6570b and this has the same 82579V NIC. If I install manually using the Windows 7 DVD the device is detected correctly as the 82579V. Any help VERY much appreciated! first_boot_dev_1502.txt second_boot_dev_1503.txt

Hi, I found that KB2821895 was breaking my TS (B&C and Deployment) What happened is a reboot that apparently could not be supressed and it kept on breaking my tasksequence. Updates install, TS reboots, starts task update again -> during that proces again a reboot -> patch is applied, but TS is unable to resume and exits. Anyone had similar experience and found a sollution? except removing the patch from updates that are deployed? Thx

Hey guys! I'm new here but I really enjoyed reading on this forum about troubleshooting and found many awesome guides here. Now my first post. Didn't find anything within at least 20 hours of troubleshooting and googling without a single result. My Lab Setup: Server 2012 Hyper-V Host - Server 2012 with SCCM 2012 Standalone Primary Site Server (SCCM 2012 SP1 CU2) - Server 2012 with SQL Server 2012 SP1 - Server 2012 as Domain Controller, DHCP Server, DNS Server etc. Installed roles on the SCCM: - Application Catalog web service point - Application Catalog website point - Component server - Distribution point - Endpoint Protection point - Management point - Site server - Site system - Sofware update point - State migration point I created a build and capture TS according to this post: http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/6353-using-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-part-7-build-and-capture-windows-7-x64-sp1/ The virtual client boots into PXE and I get to the list of the task sequences. After selecting one of it, it says checking dependencies, etc. and after about 20 seconds I get the error screen attached. I also attached the client's smsts log. The Task sequences were created with the new PXE images and with SP1. CU2 was installed after. The server is configured to use HTTP. Any help and/or suggestions would be appreciated Greetings from Germany Rene smsts.log
