Deploying 7 - Issues

[WAZZIE]

Hi all,

 

Been working with sccm at previous job, mostly for the application/package rollout side of things. so i have some experience but not an expert. things went really well.

 

Got a new job 6 months ago with the task of office 2007 rollout and OSD for win7 - sounds good.

 

office2007 rollout went really well.

 

Anyway i have now started to look into the OSD side of things. I didnt set the sccm environment up at this employer it was already in place. However me and a colleague are the chief 'users' in charge of getting win7 out via osd.

 

I have read and re-read on numerous occasions the really helpful and complete procedures for OSD on here, and have gone thru as per procedures with our setup. Everything seems ok. as instructed had a look thru the vista one first and then moved to the win7 parts.

 

However when i pxe boot a vmware client i get the message.

See screenshot !! attached

 

Is this an acccess issue ?

I have googled and various suggestions are to remove wds and pxe sp and reinstall, but pxe requests are being furnished.

 

I have yet to search these forums, but i am about to - hopefully someone has seen this issue and can help out. I have been trying for a few days now to resolve and am starting to lose interest and want to become a monk.

 

thanks and regards inadvance.

Hi Anyweb - i think i have now broken it completely!!!

 

After posted here i googled the issue/ pxe error, and lots of people have had this or very similar before. Found Numerous suggestions along the lines of :

 

removing WDS,

removing PSP

bouncing the boxe(s)

then reinstalling wds (not configuring)

reinstalling the psp may sort it.

 

things started well, in that i could remove the wds, and rebooted.

However from the SCCM Console i dont have permissions to remove the psp, so this is still as before.

I have however re-added the wds (with no configuration)

 

I am currently talking with the man who set this up to see if he can action, or get me access.

He is not happy !!!! He reckons I have broken it !!

 

I am now getting - 6319's

PXE Control Manager detected PXE service point is not responding to PXE requests. The error is 16389.

 

Possible cause: PXE service point is not started or not responding.

Solution: Manually restart the PXE service point.

 

Possible cause: WDS service is not responding.

Solution: Manually restart the WDS service.

 

Once i get this resolved i will try the drivers !!

Thanks for the pointer on this

 

regards,
