how can I deploy Windows Server 2008 using SCCM 2007 - 3 Part Guide

[anyweb]

The following Step by Step 3 part guide to Deploying Windows Server 2008 using SCCM 2007 covers all the steps necessary to get you up and running in no time at all, screenshots and helpful text show you how to do IT including preconfiguring roles such as Active Directory (ADDS) and DNS.

 

 

 

This 3 part guide is aimed at those of you who can succesfully deploy applications (such as Microsoft Office or Firefox) and Operating Systems (such as Windows Vista SP1 and Windows XP sp3. You'll need to be familiar with Microsoft SMS or SCCM and understand what packages, advertisements and collections mean, the guide will however link you to other guides to bring you every step of the way down the entire path.

 

 

Part 1.

 

 

* Add new Operating System Install Package

* Import new Task Sequence

 

 

Part 2.

 

* Create and then Update distribution points for the MDT Server packages

* Editing the Task Sequence

* Adding Server Roles and Features

 

Part 3.

 

* Create a new collection

* Advertise the Task sequence to a collection

* Add server to collection

* Set the IP address as a variable

* The Deployment

* Troubleshooting PXE errors

 

The guide above has taken a lot of time to document and I'm quite sure that you will find it helpful (lots of screenshots of every step..)

good luck,

 

cheers

ATTENTION

this is a try on STEP3 to deploy (the image not to capture which is still failing...")

has it run the task sequence already ? if so it will ignore the advertisement if it is set to Never rerun..

 

you could use right-click tools or Roger Zanders SCCM client center to rerun the advertisement (very useful in a testing environment)

it is a new TS so it should not have run already the TS...

[Dom]

it is a new TS so it should not have run already the TS...

 

it seems there was a firewall issue along the path at least . Now I turned off the firewall before processing ... but still not working the Client did not catch the TS!!!

from your log

 

Netbios name: Unknown

 

and

 

Client is unprovisioned

 

and

 

No assigned task sequence.

[Dom]

from your log

 

 

 

and

 

 

 

and

 

Yes I had this but as I am able to resolved the firewall (and DNS) now I can do a NSLookup both ways, ping both ways everything is fine... so why the Netbios name could be unknown?

 

The machine is known from the SCCM Console, I added with the Discovery Active Directory System then Computer Association (OSD) by the Mac Address and everything came up supposedly fine as have the HW Inventory done, the Client installed. I noticed the Client has Configuration manager but so far I see only Machine Policy and Evaluation Cycle and User Policy and Evaluation Cycle under the Actions tab of the Client!!! should I wait for the others to appear and try to process later...

 

As the machine was previously used on another site server I did:

- Delete the Client on the machine: ccmsetup /uninstall

- Delete the machine from the previous server

- Add the boundaries to the new server

 

What did I miss?

If a boundary is set like this:

10.2.231.0 (Full IP Subnet)

10.2.231.0 - 10.2.231.23 (IP Range)

which one overwrite the other??? I might have to remove the full subnet, isn't it?

 

any ideas?

Hello,

 

NSLOOKUP works fine both ways(SCCM Server to Client & Client to SCCM Server)

C:\WINDOWS\system32\CCM\Cache is empty is it normal?

Control Panel > Configuration Manager > Actions contains only

Machine Policy Retrieval & Evaluation Cycle

User Policy Retrieval & Evaluation Cycle

 

Hardware Inventory is correct

Software Inventory remains empty and Last Scan is blank

 

....

Should I delete the machine again from the console and do a discover + install client + computer association etc...

 

the site is correct with SRV where should I look for the issue...Netbios name: unkown...

II tried the same TS on three machines:

- XP picked the TS but failed later with 0x80004005 (smsts.log per attachment) --> incorrect site code???

- Vista did not picked the TS --> I am reimaging this machine

- W2K08 did not picked the TS --> incorrect site code...??? DTS instead of SRV

all machines have been moved from the old site DTS to the new site SRV but did not get the new site code why?

 

The three machines except their OS are supposdely the same...

- Same hardware

- Same Subnet

- Same NIC

 

Any idea is welcome...

Thanks,

- Dom

As I have nothing working anymore I will start with a basic question:

- How many boot image I need for:

. Hardwares: DC7700, DC7800, DL580

. Operating Systems: XP, Vista, Windows Server 2003. Windows Server 2008

. Network cards: HP NC380T PCIeDP Multifunc Gig Adapter, NC370iMultifunction Gigabit Server Adapter, Intel 82566DM, Intel® PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Connection, etc...

 

- NIC Drivers: What is the best practices to add NIC Drivers:

1. Computer Management > OSD > Drivers

2. Add the driver to Computer Management > OSD > Boot Images > Properties > WinPE Tab

3. Update Distribution Point for the Boot Image

4. Should I recreate a new CD?

4. Should I run from the Old CD create by Computer Management > OSD > Task Sequence > Create Task Sequence Media > Bootable Media?

 

Thanks,

- Dom
