Capture OS XP Problem

[MacRasta]

Hi people,

 

I've been having this problem for the last week now ... Some help would be appreciated here!

 

What I have done untill now: (and I'll save you all the problems I had to fix before arriving to this point)

 

Installed boot images

installed operating system images

installed operating system install packages

installed drivers & driver packages

installed and updated all DP's

 

What I can do:

 

deploy software packages ...

Push install clients ...

Apply drivers software to OS ...

 

This all works without any problems, it's just capturing the OS that doesn't want to work ...

 

So I've tried 2 different ways to capture the OS:

 

1st thing is following Any's fantastic guide to capture an XP OS, and PXE-boot the client. The client makes contact with SCCM (splash screen), says INITIALIZING WINPE (Windows starting up); then the client restarts and nothing more happens.

 

2nd thing I tried is to get the client to respond to an advertisement to capture and build XP.

At this point, I see that the client is re-installing itself, with the correct NIC-driver, and I have a brand new OS with the correct NIC. But then SCCM wants to install the client, before starting the capture, and there it stops. When googling for that problem, I see that MSGINA.DLL could be a problem. Something about making a back-up of the registry value, and replacing it after the capture is finished... But I can't find a MSGINA registry value, in fact, I can't find any gina entry in the registry ... (there is a GINA.DLL in windows)

 

I feel that I am close to te solution, but can't seem to put the finger on the exact problem. It's been over a week now trying to fix that thing, but to no avail .... I'm so confused right now that I really need some help please ...

What logs can I show you, or should I be looking at? And where to find this SMSTS log (can't find that one on my server either)? It's driving me crazy ...

 

 

Info:

 

 

WIN2008 server with SCCM, SQL, DHCP,

Client: XP SP3

 

Thank a lot ...

Failed to access the share \\RIO.SINT-MARIA.LOCAL\SMSPKGC$\SMS00029\ with network access account --> Did you set up a Network Access Account (as described here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb632397.aspx)? If so, did you verify that you could connect to the share with that account?

Goodmorning Mr van der Woude,

 

Thanks for your help ... but the link says "Page not Found" ...

 

I saw the same thing in the log, but I don't know where to check these credentials. You wouldn't happen to have a link to a site where we can see which user is used for what in SCCM?

 

Thanks for your time!

I see that I didn't copy the link good....

Well, no luck ... even with our domain admin account, doesn't work ...

Then it has to be that this is still your problem:

[LOG[CLibSMSMessageWinHttpTransport::Send: URL: RIO.SINT-MARIA.LOCAL:80 CCM_POST /ccm_system/request]LOG]

[LOG[Error. Received 0x80072ee7 from WinHttpSendRequest.]LOG]

[LOG[unknown host (gethostbyname failed)]LOG]

[LOG[hr, HRESULT=80072ee7 (e:\nts_sms_fre\sms\framework\osdmessaging\libsmsmessaging.cpp,7714)]

[LOG[sending with winhttp failed; 80072ee7]LOG]

 

Did you try to resolve the FQDN of RIO.SINT-MARIA.LOCAL on the client?

Did you also try to connect to the share of the DP?

Hi Peter, happy new year to you and all on this forum.

 

Well, once the TS capture starts, it doesn't go on and the client restarts. After restarting I can see that the IP-address is correct, but no gateway and DNS-suffix is present though I filled it in (in DHCP-Options and in my TS). So no, I can't resolve my servername and can't connect to the share of the DP.

But everything before that seems to work without any problem. It's just when SCCM needs to capture the OS that the TS stops ...

Hi guys, just a wild guess here, but could it have something to do with the WDS filter? I editted it to the collection where the capture is supposed to go. Is that correct?

IT WORKS!!

 

Djeezes what a waste of time and energy ... The test environment was in a range that is within our boundaries, but doesn't have FULL access to the rest of the network ... That was the first thing I asked our network manager but that wasn't the problem as he said. So now I put my server and client in our "normal" network and it works!!! I should charge him a months work ...

 

Alright, now I've captured the WIM, but when the client re-installs, I have to fill in everything (company, key, keyboard layout, IP-address, ....) just like a clean install. That's not what I need, it has to install fully automatic.

 

Could anyone provide me a link to some info about that?

 

Thanks!!
