Success or Failure after Imaging

[rickray76]

In MDT, there was the final summary screen that showed if the image completed successfully or not and it would list any errors that it ran into.

 

In Sccm 2012, R2, how do you know the image completed successfully? For example, I started an image last night before I left, when I came in this morning, the laptop was off. I started it up and it went into windows but I noticed it was missing drivers and applications. There was nothing to indicate whether it was successful or not.

 

 

What is the best way to know if an image completed successfully?

 

 

Thanks

The OSDResults is still in the TS, toward the bottom. Are you using MDT 2013?

 

Make sure it's inserted before the final restart pc step, as it sets a registry setting to allow it to come up on reboot.

Check the SMSTSlog.

Also, if the _SMSTaskSequence folder still exists on C:\, it has probably failed.

There are built-in reports in the Monitoring node in the console, which you can run as well.

If you open the SCCM console and go to the "Monitoring" section, you should see "Deployments" about half way down the list on the left.

Click on that and you will get a list on the right side full of your live deployments.

 

Click on the one in question, and you should see something like this at the bottom:

 

 

Under the pie chart, there is a "View Status". Clicking that will give you a more detailed view of the deployment in question.

It will show you, Successful deployment, Deployments in Progress, Failed Deployments (any with errors), and a couple of others which are self explanatory.

 

If you click on the "Error" tab, you should find your PC, like below:

 

 

The top table is a group of that collection which has the same status (same error for example). Find the group your laptop in question is part of (with the error assuming it has one), right click it in the bottom section and choose "More Details" you will get the box which I have up on the left of the screen above, you can click on "Status" and it will give you a status of each part of the TS. Where it was successful and where it failed. It may or may not provide details on the error.

 

You may find, that even though it failed a part of the TS, it will continue on error if you have it checked, and will actually come back as "Success", so with the laptop finishing it's image, it may be under the "Success" tab, but the same after that still applies.

 

Hope this helps.
