[JHFerry]

I am trying to boot from a new 2012 R2 DP. Here is the log:

Everything looks ok but I get the error "Configuration Manager is looking for policy"

Any ideas?

You need to provide more information. This log file shows a client that is unknown in the database and after that it shows that there is not a deployment available for unknown devices.

I actually deployed the task sequence to unknown computers before realizing the PCs were not showing up in unknown computers. Its seems my network discovery is not working. That is the problem right now.

[Peter van der Woude]

The unknown computers collection should only contain two objects, one for x86 and one for x64.

The unknown computers collection should only contain two objects, one for x86 and one for x64.

Those 2 objects are there. I verified via a report that the mac address of this PC is not in config manager so that explains the looking for policy error. Now the question is, how is it I begin pxe booting, get and IP and get to my dp but it never shows up anywhere in SCCM. I thought maybe the task sequence being deployed to unknown computers was not working because somehow the computer was known.
