Build and Capture Windows 7 pro x64 fails

[orto]

I am trying to build a reference machine with the build and capture task sequence in sccm sp2. I keep running into the same error and I´ve tried building the os quite a few times, the os is installed but the task sequence doesn´t finish and always hangs during the same step which is preparing configmgr. I´ve tried this on both a vmware virtual machine and on hp dc 7800. I would appreciate any help that I can get. I´ve included the smts log with the errors I receive.

I have already tried including network drivers for both machines and that changed nothing.

This is the first error I receive:

Timed out waiting for ccmexec service to be fully operational TSManager 26.01.2011 15:14:21 1928 (0x0788)

 

thanks in advance,

can you bring up a command prompt and verify that you actually have a valid ip address during the build and capture and at the point it fails,

[vstevenson]

are you capturing a local machine or a domain machine?

I am trying to capture a machine that is connected to the domain subnet, I´ve tried both adding the machine to a workgroup and joining a domain with the same results. I do get a valid IP address that is within the boundaries that is set in sccm. This is getting really frustrating as I think I´ve tried every possible solution that I´ve found on this forum and others as well.

I know that the reason that this is failing is because the client can not discover the management point.

We don´t use wins in my environment and we don´t intend to, the ad has been extended for sccm and I´ve also published the management point through DNS.

Is WINS absolutely necessary to complete the build and capture process with a computer in a workgroup?

My commandline string for the Client install is the following:

CCMSETUP.EXE /noservice /mp:mgmsccm SMSSITECODE=TS0 FSP=mgmsccm DNSSUFFIX=domainname.is

 

Does anyone see a problem with this?

WINS is not needed at all. For WORKGROUP computers you need to supply the FQDN of the MP.
