OSD Fails to copy content to local disk

[mpepprell]

Hi!

 

We have a number of computer models that we image with SCCM 2012 R2, and everything works just fine, apart from one model:

 

Novatech nSpire 15.6 (yeah, the model is not descriptive, but that is the model name!)

 

The laptop has standard Intel Haswell hardware, one fixed disk (Sandisk SSD) and an optical drive. This is much like other computers that we have in the organisation and we have no computers with two or more fixed disks

 

When we image this particular model of computer, the task sequence fails at the "Apply Operating System Image". The partition map from the task sequence is:

 

Volume 1: 350MB fixed size, NTFS

Volume 2: 100% remaining space, NTFS

 

The operating system is deployed to the "next available formatted partition"

 

The SSD is partitioned and formatted successfully during the task sequence. If I disable this step and use diskpart for this, the task sequence still fails!

 

Below is the point of failure, from the smsts.log file:

Any help in this would be greatly appreciated!

Mpepprell,

 

Do you have one partition or two?

If you have only one partition, pay attention for this fields:

 

System Reserverd:

 

Field: Apply Operation System, insert your variable.

Hi

 

I have made the changes as suggested, and the same set of errors occur

 

I'm thinking along the lines that these computers, for whatever reason, are incompatible with the SCCM/WDS image process

Post what's log error. Can you ping your server SCCM when you try do deploy? If you don't have success probably you'll need deploy driver NIC in your image boot.

Hey

 

I can ping the deployment server, with the following results:

You need to tick "Make this the boot partition"

 

[mpepprell]

Hello!

 

I have made the suggested changes and unfortunately, the same error still occurs. I have attached the smsts.log file for reference

 

I am sorry that I cannot suggest anything to help you help me with this issue, as it has me totally confused

I looking for about this error and in another topic was solve check time set if was correctly in the bios, might help you, do this check.

[mpepprell]

Hi

 

In the BIOS, the time and date are correct

For Win 7 based machines depending how you captured, always make sure you have your image index's set correctly in the "Apply Operating System" and "Apply Data Image" steps.

 

Apply OS Step: 2-2

Apply Data Image: 1-1
