Faulty PXE SP / WDS after driver injection in WinPE/Boot image.

 

The environment consist of 1 Central site server and 5 Primary Child servers

 

Central Site Server: ConfigMgr 2007 SP2/R2 - Windows Server 2003 SP2 R2

Primary Childs: ConfigMgr 2007 SP2/R2 - A mix of Windows Server 2003/2008/2008R2

 

 

Error description:

 

What trigging the fault?

NIC driver injection to boot image failed partly. The WIM was mounted but apparently SCCM could not commit the changes properly. But it continued to distribute the boot image to DP automatic due to this!

After this event the Boot image package hang with a "Install Pending".

 

 

Behavior?

The PXE SP / WDS server fails on all DP (Both server 2003/2008)

 

WDS Fault:

 

WDS server can't start with the error below:

 

WDS

An error occurred while trying to initialize the Windows Deployment Services image server.

Error Information: 0xC1030104

 

 

PXE SP Fault:

 

 

 

Below is additional error on a DP with Windows Server 2003:

 

Event viewer:

Solution:?

This descriptions looks slightly similar the our:

Not tested fully yet (On it):

1. Remove all Boot images from DP

2. Uninstall WDS service

3. Remove PXE SP

4. Delete “leftovers” in \Remoteinstall (if any)

5. Reinstall WDS service

6. Add PXE role

7. Re distribute boot images ( a new one)

8. TEST TEST

 

 

Any input would be appreciated

 

Ill repost when I have testet above solution.

 

Best regards

Hi

 

A little follow up.

 

This solved my problem so far:

 

1. Remove all boot images from the DP

2. Uninstall the WDS service

3. Delete the PXE Service Point

4. Reboot Server

5. Delete or rename Remoteinstall

6. Reinstall WDS Server -Remember to run Run “WDSUTIL /initialize-server /reminst:X:\RemoteInstall”

7. Reboot Server

8. Reinstall PXE Service Point

9. Reboot Server

10. Redistribute boot images to the site (smspxeimages$)

11. Add proper permission to Remoteinstall folder (NetworkAccess account)

12. Restart the “Windows Deployment Services”

 

 

I still have the additional error msg on the Server 2003 installation. But apart from that everything is running smooth again.

 

Best regards
