Firstly congratulations on an awesome site and community.. it is so widely used it was mentioned whilst on a SCCM2012 deployment course I recently attended.
I am experiencing a very strange problem with SCCM 2007 and advertising task sequences.
We are beginning a Windows 7 migration (15k clients joy!) and I have created and finalized a base task sequence with enough core apps that it will go on to every machine. This works with a test VM and any new clients brought down to it..
I moved out to our first pilot site.. set up PXE on the standard DP and duplicated my original task sequence.. I then imported a list of MAC addresses of 10 test Toshiba Netbooks, (these are new PC's never been into SCCM before) via the computer association tab to a new collection. I advertised the duplicated task sequence to these machines and if i boot either via PXE or USB drive I get Abort PXE with the line
MAC=00:8C:FA:2D:BB:4A SMBIOS GUID=80400288-163D-E211-9729-008CFA2DBB4A > Device found in the database.

or if via USB I get no task sequences availble for this computer.
I tried creating a new task sequence from scratch and advertising it but get the same issues.. .
The twist in this tale that I am unable to find anything on the web is if I add one of these Toshiba's to the original test collection where the advertised task sequence lives it works 100%.
Has anyone seen anything like it? I'm going a bit nuts here.. have performed a full PXE/WDS remove and reinstall as per a guide I found on a technet blog.
