OSD not working - "error occurred while retrieving policy"

[pt01]

Dear All,

 

I've built a test SCCM 2007 server and have been trying for some time now to build Windows 7 virtual machines from a boot ISO. I've tried HyperV and Vmware but both give the same errors. They always report "failed to run task sequence", and "an error occurred while retrieving policy for this computer (0x80040005)" I definitely could use some help with this!

 

 

I've pulled the smsts.log file and in all cases I see the same output:

At first I did have a few setup issues with my Webdav, and some of the SCCM components had reported error status codes. But, this has all been resoved as far as I can tell, with all components reporting no errors. The MP troubleshooter now also shows no issues. I've been through the very detailed setup guides on this site, but just can't seem to figure this one out. Using F8 to get to command prompt in Windows PE I also confirm that I have an IP address, and can ping the MP with no problem.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, THANKS!

Is your IP space set correctly; i.e. are your Boundaries correctly defined?

[pt01]

I haven't defined boundaries. Wouldn't this still work without boundaries defined?

Make sure your System Image, All included Applications, Drivers etc are on Distribution points

 

Also run Report "290" Packages Referenced by a specific task sequence against your OSD task sequence you should see what part of the sequence is failing

thanks for the suggestions. I double checked the images and packages and ensured they were all on the DP, this is a new setup so I haven't defined any drivers yet.

 

I ran the report 290 and from what I see it also shows that each package referenced by the TS is on the DP.
