Aurock Posted January 28, 2015 Report post Posted January 28, 2015 For some reason my windows 7 deployment has suddenly stopped working properly. It gets to the installing updates phase, then gets almost all they way through downloading updates, then stalls. SMSTS.log has a bunch of “Waiting for job status notification” entries. I'll attach the entire log below. It looks like the same issue described in this blog post: http://configmgrblog.com/2012/05/30/osd-hanging-at-software-updates-installation-task-sequence-step/ Unfortunately, I applied updates to the reference image just a week or so ago. I believe the updates it's downloading to apply are probably for Office or other applications included in the reference image, and so they didn't get injected into the wim. I'm not sure if the issue is related to a single specific update, or if there's something else going on. What would cause this? smsts.log Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
