SCCM 2007 SP1 R2 OS deployent error

[bustard]

HI,

 

Could some one help me.

 

When i try to add operating system image, i browse to Network path (for example \\10.107.10.125\e\sources\install.wim) and when i press next button i get an error "The specified UNC path does not contain a valid WIM file or you do not have permission to access it. Please specify a valid path".

 

The strange thing is that i can browse to my source location with wizart.

 

SCCM server is installed on computer joined to domain. (not on domain controler)

 

Site is pushed to AD, I can install client on to remote computer successfully.

 

There is everyone permission on source share dirctory.

 

What coud be the problem?

I know this thread is super old, but I thought I'd post my solution anyway, in case it helps anyone.

 

I had this same problem after we went to a virtual SCCM server running Server 2008. When I tried to add the OS images I had previously created, I got that error. The server was not a domain controller. The shared network folder where I stored the .wim's was on another server. The Everyone group had full access on the share permissions, but only admins had access through NTFS permissions. Long story short, I had to grant the SCCM computer account Read rights to the share. Even though I was logged into the SCCM server with my admin account, it was still using the local computer account to access the share. According to a book another admin had, “All source file locations must be accessible to the Configuration Manager's computer account.” I don't really understand this, since I don't believe our old SCCM server had rights to the share, but FWIW, this is what worked for me.
