Hello. We currently have an OSD Task Sequence for deploying Windows 10 Enterprise 1709 to our client machines. This works quite well for existing PCs which are known to AD and SCCM. We have a mixed environment, where we have multiple departments which require their own set of applications. Again, this works well for existing machines. The issue in which I'm being faced with at the moment, is when we introduce new clients to the environment. Due to the design of SCCM with AD System Discovery, new devices are not discovered as there is no DNS entry for those devices. I have done the following - Pre-staged computer accounts on Active Directory. Created computer objects within SCCM with the Name and MAC address of the new devices. Added new objects to the OSD Device Collection for OSD. The problem here is that some Device Collections which have Collection Variables attached, rely on Active Directory OU membership rules. As these machines haven't yet been discovered as such, they don't become members of these collections until the OSD process has finished the installation of the ConfigMgr Client has completed. Once that has completed, the machines then fall into the correct collections, but the Install Applications step within the Task Sequence doesn't complete as the collection variables haven't yet been evaluated. I was wondering if anybody else here has experienced this and maybe have a solution/work around? Would there be any Powershell scripts which could be used to force a re-evaluation on collection variables prior to the Install Applications step? Cheers, Richard

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

Hello all, I am having a few issues deploying my OS image to a Distribution point. All other packages deploy ok, but the OS keeps failing. I have tried using the console and also tried the Prestage process to import the OS. For the Prestage process I have used the following commands: ExtractContent.exe/F /P:D:\pkgx\OperatingSystem.pkgx The PrestangeContent.log error gives me: ============ Content meta data end ===================== PrestageContent 10/11/2014 12:32:06 1248 (0x04E0) Content library contains higher version of content LDN00021.4 than what is in the prestaging file LDN00021.1 PrestageContent 10/11/2014 12:32:06 1248 (0x04E0) Free space on the content library drive is 22146 MB PrestageContent 10/11/2014 12:32:06 1248 (0x04E0) The best drive on this remote DP is found to be D: (free space 22146 MB) PrestageContent 10/11/2014 12:32:06 1248 (0x04E0) No branch cache registry entries found.
