Advertistment received but client doesn't do anything

[Jimmyjay]

Hi Guys, Hope all is well. Hope someone can help please.

 

I'm trying to deploy windows 7 to a hyper-v client within my test enviroment. I have imported the windows 7 boot file and have also imported the operation system files, and created a task sequence then advertisted it against the collection which the hyper-v client lives in, but the client doesn't start the install process.

 

I've had a look around this forum but i am unable to find any post which point me into the right direction.

 

I receive the following description within the Status Message Viewer:-

 

Advertisement "WIN20027" was received from site "WIN".

 

The client passes any supported platform requirements and the SMS will add the advertisement's program to the list that will be displayed to users and/or run via assignment. If an advertisement is received but not displayed on a client, verify that the current time on the client is between the advertisement start and expiration times, and that the program specified in the advertisement is enabled.

 

I can confirm that the time and date and within the advertisement period. Distribution points for Operation System Images has my server listed. \\SERVER.

 

Any links or post to resolve this would be great.

 

Cheers

Ok I've had a closer look at things. This is what I have found. From the VM client which is currently running windows XP and is apart of the my SCCM, which I'm able to deploy software to. I am able to browse to \\server\smspkgc$ and see all the different folders.

 

Within SCCM Operationg System Deployment - Boot Image. I have import the windows 7 boot.wim file from the cd (which has been copied to a shared path on the SCCM server) sources directory. This has an Image ID if WIN0002D

 

Within Operating System Image - I have added the operating system which I want to deploy. This has an Image ID of WIN00031.

 

Under Task Sequenance - I have created a new task as well which has a Task ID of WIN00033

 

All of the Image ID's and Task ID are visible to see and browse to from the client pc using the the following path \\server\smspkgc$ from start run.

 

Having the above in place is there anything else I need to enable or double check or do, for a PEX boot to install windows7? The file and folders are setting within \\server\smspkgc$.
