Issues with boot images

[nhottinger]

Bear with me, I'm new and don't know a lot about how this all works yet. I've had very little training and trying to figure it out on my own. I'm having issues importing new nic drivers into existing boot images so I can image new devices as they come in. Currently trying to image a Dell Optiplex 7040. When I try to add the drivers to my default x64 boot image, it errors out and says failed to inject a configmgr driver to the mounted wim file. No idea how to fix that. Could I just create a new boot wim with only the new drivers I need? If so, how can I make the PXE boot look at that boot image instead of the previous one I have been using. Each time I try, it looks at the old boot image to pxe boot, which then the osd task fails to even start.

Firstly temporarily disable AV software on your sccm server. I have had countless problems with McAfee blocking me from creating a Boot Image in SCCM as it detects it as a threat. Everytime I change a boot image I have to disable McAfee (I have been to lazy to put exceptions in McAfee)

 

Secondly, what specific errors are you getting. Error codes are vital for narrowing down issues in sccm.

 

In order to make PXE boot directly to your new boot image, you need to make sure the option of "Deploy this image from a PXE enabled point" is enabled (re-distribute the boot image to the DP after doing this). Then also ensure you deploy a task sequence that uses your new boot image. SCCM uses a "last deployed" rule, so whatever boot image you last deployed, will be the one that gets used by PXE.

I created a new boot image (x86) and verified there were no drivers associated with it already. At that point, I'm able to update the distribution point successfully. I then went through all the driver packages I need drivers for and added the NIC drivers to the new boot image. When I attempt to update the distribution points after that, it fails "Failed to inject a ConfigMgr drive into the mounted WIM file.

Looks like most of the drivers made it though. Is that a correct assumption?

Ah, so theres something to work with. Google: "boot image" 2152205056. Lots of varying issues. I'd start with the simplest

 

- Open SCCM console using "run as administrator"

- Clear the Windows\Temp folder as sccm uses that to build your temporary WIM before copying it to your chosen location

- Try importing a few drivers only

- Double check the driver source is all intact and hasnt been deleted or modified

 

If you are not too concerned, there is an alternative way of injecting drivers into your boot image, although personally i would advise doing it via sccm so you can remove driver easily later on. The alternative method is using DISMGUI. It allows you to modify the .wim file directly, bypassing sccm completely. See this for how to: http://www.deploymentninja.com/home/easily-add-drivers-and-updates-to-images-with-gui-dismI used this method at my current organisation as we were gtting various issues injecting drivers and in the end i got fed up and injected them offline using DISMGUI. Works without issues, the only downside is removing a driver (if you ever needto) will be tricky

[nhottinger]

Thanks, I ended up removing the drivers it didn't like (it took a while, about 20 drivers or so) but I finally got it to go through. I'll delete the Windows\Temp files as well. Thank you for all your help.

[anyweb]

id suggest you only add network (or storage) drivers as needed, adding hundreds of drivers will bloat the boot wim and make it harder to service later on...

 

also, you are importing wireless drivers in the mix and theres no need for them they are not supported at all during pxe boot even if some people come up with hacks to make it work,

 

so, long story short, i'd recommend you start with a clean boot image again, and ONLY import the nic drivers needed, here's some videos where i go into lots of details about adding drivers to boot images (surface pro 3 is the example but there's good info in there),

 

lastly, since you are new to this i'd recommend you get some training or buy one of the many excellent books out there, for example these

 

the first one in the list was written by yours truly and covers managing boot images with drivers manually as well as via powershell

 

good luck !

[nhottinger]

I've created a new boot.wim specifically for the testing of this Optiplex 7040. I've cleaned out all drivers that are not needed and only imported the ones related to the 7040. Still no luck. When I update the distribution point with only 5 network drivers, it will fail on one, but says it was successful on the other 4. I remove the one that failed and try to redistribute. It then fails on one that was previously successful. I keep doing this until I have no drivers left.

 

Now I'm going back through and trying to redistribute other .wims that had previously worked just fine and getting the same error that it can't inject the drivers.

[nhottinger]

Dumb question, why don't some drivers import into the boot.wim?

[anyweb]

because they are probably not applicable, can you post any errors you are seeing, and also at the time of the import failure what does the smsprov.log file tell you about the problem ?

[nhottinger]

I was able to get us somewhat limping along, but still can't get the Optiplex 7040. I was able to add three drivers successfully from the driver package to the boot.wim, but when we start the image process, it never gets to the password screen to start. F8 command does not show I have a valid IP address and the pc just reboots. I'm assuming this is a driver issue but nothing is working.
