Advertise a computer refresh.

[rab414]

Hi, Having a bit of a problem refreshing a Win7 install by advert.

 

I am trying to setup a TS that I can advertise to a machine that will basically restart the PC in PE environment, format the disk and install and OS. My TS is in the format of:

Restart in Windows PE

Format and Partition Disk

Apply Operating System

Apply Windows Settings

Apply Network Settings

Apply Driver Package

 

Setup Operating System

Setup windows and ConfigMgr

Install Updates

Restart Computer

 

I’ve set the advert to go out at 11pm and the machine will pick it up. However, only thing that happens is the machine reboots, formats the disk and fails there. Anyone know what I’m missing or indeed if this is possible to do?

 

Thanks for reading.

Did you check the smsts.log?

Did you check the smsts.log?

 

I couldn't check that as the target machine had been formatted.

Do you see any logs on your x: drive? They wouldn't be on your c: drive at that point.
