TS Not Completing

[rbisset]

Hoping to get some help here from a sccm noob.

We have sccm 2012 installed and all up to date, thanks to the guides here

Task sequences just won't finish.

I've checked the logs and nothing major seems to stop it. (maybe I'm blind)

 

The image deploys fine but the client never installs and then no other jobs afterwards install.

I've attached the smsts log.

 

I do notice this: Unsuccessful in releasing P0100016. 80070490. OSDSetupWindows 24/08/2015 12:02:21 PM 1436 (0x059C)

Which seems to cause the .wim to stay in C:\_SMS....

Not sure if that's related to the rest of my issues or not.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

probably means the latest logs are in the C:\_SMSTasksequence\Logs or C:\Windows\CCM\LOGS folder, can you check there to see what log file you have as the one above looks ok from first looks

Windows PE before HDD format

X:\Windows\Temp\SMSTSLog\smsts.log

Windows PE after HDD format

X:\SMSTSLog\smsts.log
and copied to
C:\_SMSTaskSequence\Logs\SMSTSLog\smsts.log

Full version Windows before SCCM agent installed

C:\_SMSTaskSequence\Logs\SMSTSLog\smsts.log

Full version Windows after SCCM agent installed

C:\Windows\system32\ccm\logs\SMSTSLog\smsts.log

Full version Windows (x64) after SCCM agent installed

C:\Windows\sysWOW64\ccm\logs\SMSTSLog\smsts.log

After Task Sequence has finished running

C:\Windows\system32\CCM\Logs\smsts.log

After Task Sequence has finished running (x64)

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\CCM\Logs\smsts.log

 

 

Here's a good chart describing where the active log file that's currently in used during various phases through the deployment. Just to give you a more detailed overview for Nialls question.

 

Edit: Sorry, the table that I pasted wasn't formatted correctly it appears.

I seem to have made progress, in a roundabout way.

I was trying an existing image we have but now I'm using a completely fresh Windows 7 install and everything seems to be going fine.

 

I've wiped the machine in question now but I can tell you that I did not have a system32\ccm or syswow64\ccm directory at that point.

Out of all those places I only had the log I attached which was in C:\_SMSTaskSequence\Logs\SMSTSLog\smsts.log.

 

Thanks for your time anyway guys.

No that's right, it seems that I've not updated that table for the 2012 client that's not installed in C:\Windows\CCM directly.
