Steve.sven Posted February 14, 2014 Report post Posted February 14, 2014 My environment; Running SCCM 2012 R2 on 2012 R2 server DC Server 2012 R2 All running on VM's on Windows 8 hyper-v When doing any deployment now OSD deployment fails on "preparing network connections" ?I have recently upgraded all my lab to 2012 R2 servers and SCCM 2012 R2 I have built from scratch again.My deployments did work ok when it was all server 2012/sccm 2012 sp1 .I was thinking possibly need some sort of network drivers in the boot image - but my lab is all on a windows 8 hyper-v vm's and did not need to inject driver packages when it was the previous svr 2012/sccm 2012 SP1 enviroment ? Any ideas ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

keety Posted February 17, 2014 Report post Posted February 17, 2014 Probably network drivers. Make sure you've enabled debugging and press F8 went it boots up, make sure you;re getting an ip address. Although with it being hyper-v i'd imagine they drivers are inbox drivers and should be part of winPE. I've not played with hyper V much but I know on vmware you can set to a default legacy NIC. You can try re running teh task sequence by goign to x:\sms\bin\i38\tsbootshell.exe (for x86 use x64 for obviously x64) With new models of kit I've found it a bit fiddly getting the right drivers, I tend to use drvrload to load them up and make sure they work before integrating them into the boot image.

oxyle Posted April 8, 2014 Report post Posted April 8, 2014 You can find the log files for the client during OSD in the following location. Before the HDD formats: "x:\windows\temp\smstslog\smsts.log" After the HDD formats: "x:\smstslog\smsts.log" After the OSD applies the OS they are often located within "C:\Windows\CCM\Logs".

Edenost Posted April 8, 2014 Report post Posted April 8, 2014 I made a quick rough guide on how to add drivers to the boot image here: http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/9720-cannot-load-generic-boot-images/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
psshutdown Posted April 10, 2014 Report post Posted April 10, 2014 I had exactly the same issue today and went into debugging after preparing network connection and there was no IP. I injected the correct driver into the boot image, re-distributed and this time it worked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve.sven Posted April 11, 2014 Report post Posted April 11, 2014 It turns out my network config was wrong on my virtual environment .I did not have 2 seperate address ranges - 1 for my internal vlan and one for my external internet routing .Once this was in place everthing started working a ok !Im now doing zero touch deployments no problem! Thanks for you replies . Cheers Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyedj Posted November 9, 2014 Report post Posted November 9, 2014 Hi, I have a same problem but when I hit F8 I can run ipconfig /all and everything seems okay. It has a network driver / It has an IP Address / I can map network drives using net use and all seems fine. But it still restarts soon as the "Prepearing Network Connections" comes up. Obviously it will stay on whilst I am in the CMD but soon as I close the CMD or type exit and it enter the machine will restart. Not sure where to go from here as most posts are saying about drivers but I'm not sure as I am getting network connectivity. I have managed to get the smsts.log Kind Regards Kye smsts.log Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyedj Posted November 9, 2014 Report post Posted November 9, 2014 I forgot to mention: I am running: Srv 2008 R2 SP1 DC SQL 2008 R2 SP1 SCCM 2012 R2 I have rebuilt a couple of times from scratch and have had the same issue even when following the guides on how to install. I have tried whilst using Srv 2012 R2 DC as well as trying with SQL 2012 and so on. There must be a step or something that is causing the same issue?
