I have a multicast OSD TS that I am using to deploy Windows 7 with SCCM 2007 R3. The TS works fine up until the "Install Software" steps. It attempts to install Office 2010 via multicast but just sits there and eventually errors out. I have enabled the same options and checked the same checkboxes as the OS Package as per Steve Rachui's guide at http://blogs.msdn.co...ng-in-sccm.aspx . I have attached a copy of the smsts.log from the client PC. (C:\windows\syswow64\ccm\logs\smstslog). I've searched for the error in the log and also any info on installing software via an OSd task sequence, but could not find anything pertaining to the issue I'm having. Other people have had issues with multicast deployments but not with the 0x80004005 error that I am receiving in my smsts.log.
I have created a separate TS, software and OS packages for multicast deployment as when I was trying to unicast to one machine only for some other testing I was doing, it was always try and use multicast even though the Task sequence and advertisement did not have only transfer via multicast" checked. I don't know if this is the right way to go about it, and any best practice advice would be greatly appreciated.
I guess first off I need to ask, can software be installed via a multicast OSD task sequence? And if so, am I going the right way about doing it? (Just so I'm not wasting any more of my time if it can't even be done )
Cheers,
Pete
Edit: I just realised that in my smsts.log, it is failing on Acrobat Reader X install not Office 2010 as mentioned above. This is because I disabled the Install Office 2010 step, and re-ran the TS to see if it was just the office package that had an issue, but it also fails on the Acrobat Reader X install with exactly the same error..
