Possibly stupid question

Recommended Posts

I was always told the only dumb questions are those not asked. So, here goes.

 

Is it possible to have remote clients PXE boot back to the primary site, but actually pull the OS images/drivers/software etc... from the local DP? It seems like this is possible because as I currently have it set, my OS images, drivers, etc... are only on the DP (Windows 7 box). Everything works fine up until the "Apply Operating System" step at which point it fails with 0x80070002. I'm guessing it's alluding to not being able to find the files necessary. Is there a particular log I can look at to see what the exact issue is? Or, does this set up even work?

 

And, just before we go down the "why are you using a Windows 7 box," question, we don't currently have enough Server licenses to install on DP's.

 

Thanks in advance!

Have you got the 'F8 support mode' enabled on your boot image? If so, press F8 when the error pops up, key in 'CMTRACE.exe', and open the smsts.log in X:\Windows\Temp.
It should give more closure about what is going wrong. My guess is that your partitioning could be wrong, or that there isn't enough disk space.
