Error when trying to deploy win7-32bit task sequence

[jamesc]

Hi,

 

I ran into an error right before the task sequence starts its process. It reads 0x80004005. I looked this error up and found out that the PXE certificate wasn't there. It turned out PXE service point certificate had expired. I set the expiration date to expire in 5 years and did a update distribution point. Re-created OS image and task sequence and error still occurs.

 

This is the first time I'm working with Win7-32bit so I'm not too sure if I've done something wrong or it's a general SCCM error message that has nothing to do with actual Win7 image.

 

Please any help would be much appreciated.

HI james,

 

This is a general error with no specific meaning. Post your smsts.log file for some detailed informations. If your task sequence does not start at all it's probably because you have not the correct NIC driver injected to your boot wim, or your distribution point is missing a package that is referred in your task sequence.

The way I've done the SOE is that all the software, drivers and necessary stuff are installed. Then I capture the PC using capture media. This is how I've been doing SOE on WinXP and it's been working perfectly. I will have a look at smsts.log and get back to you.
