task sequence not working

[lufupa]

Hi All,

 

lab setup= 2 server, one is a DC with dns/dhcp. the other is sccm with wds

 

i am a bit stuck with a problem where i can pxe boot a computer(bare metal), its gets to the screen where it says its loading winpe (background image is from sccm), preparing network connections etc & then it sits there for 1-2 minutes & it reboots. the task sequence does not load.

 

i have followed the instructions for deploying XP from this site.

 

any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Kass

Hi,

 

the package is the SCCM client. It its distributed to the DP as shown on the package status screen.

 

i am going to try deploying Vista & see if it works.

 

Thanks

 

Hi,

 

Vista is also not working. same errors in the logs. i re-imported the drivers from another server build which had mdt. i was able to build a computer from the mdt setup on that server without connectivity issues.

 

i am at a loss. i will put this aside for now as its giving me a headache

can you please read the package status LOGS for the package in question,

 

it should give us a clue, in addition, please distribute the package again, and update the distribution point before trying again

I have looked through the smstslog & its failing to connect to a package & that package is the x86 pe boot.wim.

 

would it be a permissions issue?

i think i have cracked it.

 

i did not set the network access account in the client agent setting initially. once i set that, the task sequence has started.

 

so we have progress.

 

Thanks for the pointers on what to look for as that has helped.

 

a question.

 

if i were to create a custom image with bespoke app that that cannot be installed silently & advertise that to a collection to build bare metal pc's. Would it be possible to chain the installation of applications to the task once the OS has been laid down?

sorry about that.

 

will post as another topic soon.

 

the install went fine, but i got an error at the end. i think it might be to do with the capture part.

great that it's working now, so it was just the network access account not being specified

 

I've updated that section in the Setting up SCCM guide part 3

 

cheers

I have the same issue but my errors are different and google is not helping much at all with this. Any idea/hint what this could be in my case?
