vichitramohan Posted June 3, 2014 Report post Posted June 3, 2014 Unable to understand what do this error states "error getting tasks to start". Could you please elaborate more on this and could share SMSTS.log if it is being generated.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsai Posted June 3, 2014 Report post Posted June 3, 2014 Hi Basically as soon as I type in the PXE boot password to start the tasks , that is when the error comes up saying it cannot start the tasks , then just loops back to pxe boot screen again. That log is that under program files then microsoft system manager on the sccm server? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
velnias Posted June 3, 2014 Report post Posted June 3, 2014 The SMSTS log is on the client itself and you will have to enable PXE Command support from the boot file. In your SCCM Console, Software Library, Operating Systems, Boot Images. right click on the boot file and choose properties. On the Customization tab, check the box at the bottom "Enable command support (testing only)". Save and update the boot file to your distribution points. Repeat this for both Boot files, x64 and x86. Once you've done this, when the error occurs on the client, press F8 and it will open a command prompt where you can navigate to the SMSTS log, and copy it off to a shared drive to review. The log file will be in different locations depending on where it fails in the OSD process. This site has a good overview on where to locate the files.
