  1. A little background: I started off with SMS 2003 back in 2006, upgraded to 2007 shortly after and just within the last 2 weeks up to 2012 R2 now. I've been the SCCM administrator at the same company for the last 8 years. Is it me or does OSD seem to suck royally in SCCM? We tried to make a go of it back with 2007, but found the process too error prone. It would take about 20 steps or so to image a computer and sometimes it won't image a computer at all due to some duplicate GUID issue. I went with a straight ImageX solution and life was much simpler and easy. More recently, say in the year 2011, we switched to MDT 2010 for Windows 7 deployments. MDT is so easy to use...it just works. Now that we are starting our XP to Windows 7 migration, I was deciding between using SCCM 2012 R2 vs MDT 2013. Well, MDT 2013 won out, but I still have days of work that I put into SCCM 2012 (driver groups for every model) and I want the blasted thing to work at least once so I can say "I beat OSD in SCCM 2012 R2". I captured 2 images up to SCCM 2012 R2, created the task sequences and advertised to the "All Unknown Computers" group. I spent days pouring over the smsts.log file and every time it's "No task sequences assigned" and it bombs out. The record it creates is called "Unknown", but it is never added to the "All Unknown Computers" group. I've add the record manually to the "All Unknown Computers" group, I've tried adding the record manually by MAC address. I can see that SCCM knows the computer record exists in the database, but it won't offer it any task seqences. I think I tried every permutation from the server side, boot media and looking for duplicate GUIDs and I cannot find anything wrong. OK...I tried imaging another VM and then I went back to my old VM and magically it could see the last task sequence I made...progress...then it bombed out at Apply Operating System (couldn't find file), so I deleted the task sequence and started over and now it is unhappy again. SMSTS.LOG is attached. Computer is called "Testit" and "x64 test 2" is advertised to this collection. smsts.log
