Error 0x80070040 during image capture

[jgl75]

Dear All,

 

I'm an Altiris Client Management Suite admin and I try to learn SCCM during my spare time.

 

For now, I'm trying to deploy Windows XP on a bare metal VM.

 

My home lab is running on a ESXi 3.5u2 (I know I should update )

I have the following VMs :

- 1 W2K3 DC

- 1 W2K3 SQL2K5 (hosting the SCCM DB)

- 1 W2K3 File Server (acting as DP)

- 1 W2K8 running SCCM 2007 R2 (running all the necessary SCCM roles)

- Several VMs running Windows XP

 

After some time running into the usual driver and task sequence problems, I finally managed to run the whole task sequence (Build & Capture) right until it started to capture the reference installation.

It runs for about 25% and then I get the error message in subject.

 

I've googled for the various error message found in the log file without success.

 

Everything is working fine beside that problem...

 

I've uploaded the smsts.log file.

It will be great if someone can help me with this one.

 

I can also post my install procedure should it be of any use.

 

Thanks in advance for your help !

which sounds like DNS errors, can you test nslookup on the client and see that its finding your domain controller correctly

Sorry for the late answer (I must have misconfigured email alerting...) but you seem to confirm what I was suspecting (I tought of it the day after ;-) ).

 

I still have to confirm it but it seems that I forgot to disable the DHCP server of my home router.

As I said, it is a home lab which is not on all the time so I must think of disabling my router's dhcp server before starting to work on my lab...

 

I'm thinking about isolating my lab from the rest of the network to prevent this but I still have to find the best way to do it.

 

I'll test this asap and I'll let you know

 

Thanks !

OK !

All is fine now.

 

I must continue to the next step : configuring my default user profile...

 

I wonder if there is a prefered path with SCCM.

I'll do a search on the forum (the last time I worked on an image was 3 years ago )

 

Thanks for the help !
