Deploy XP

My OSD Build TS for my SOE Image of XP SP3 stopped working yesterday. Nothing has changed just i had some sleep. This morning i have UPDATED DP's refreshed DP Confirmed Packages are processed to DP and present Issue appears to occur when i hit the Configure task. the logs tell me access denied, so re-acl'd, deleted package, updated DP's same issue. ideas? smsts.log

Having weird issue on refresh scenario of Windows XP OSD with SCCM 2012. For some odd reason, during the WinPE phase, TimeZone or Time is changed and differs from the domain time +10 hours, therefore re-joining the domain doesn't work. Fresh install works correctly, haven't seen this kind of behaviour with Windows 7 or Windows 2008 R2. Does anyone know any solution to this kind of problem? I haven't gotten any info from the net... :/

Hi, i am following the SCCM 2012 guide here. The Win7x64 TS works fine. So i want to try the Build and Capture of XP too. The object is a Hyper-V guest, Sysprep is included in the TS. Unfortunately the TS don't work. Any hints for troubleshooting? I have included a Screenshot of the SMSTS.log

Hi, I'm having an issue while trying to deploy Windows XP SP3 from a captured image to a computer using SCCM 2012. All my Windows 7 deployments work great, but this one is failing. The problem seems to be during the Apply device driver point. In my environment, I've created driver packages for each of my hardware models and per operating system. I then do some WMI filtering to apply them. What seems to be happening is that SCCM imports them with a GUID as the directory name in the driver package. When it applies the drivers for that model and modifies the OEMPNPDriverPath line in the Sysprep.inf file, it exceeds the magic 4096 character length. No matter wha…

All, I am trying to deploy windows Xp via SCCM. I have SCCM set up correctly - It was working! Yesterday I added in 1 driver... It failed deploying so I thought "OK" and removed it from the package and updated the distribution point...... NOW - I cant build the machine that worked absolutely fine yesterday!! I have been through the SMSTS.log and the ZTIValidate.log which i've taken off the root of the machine thats failing. The machine fails just after applying driver packages - I have it set up so that it applies the HDD driver first - and then everything else! This is whilst being in PXE so network and HDD drivers allow this stage fine. I am unab…

Hi, Firstly, thanks for maintaning this great forum. I am a bit new to SCCM 2007 and i want to deploy WinXP SP3 in our company using SCCM 2007 (to save the time of IT admins by booting a new machine via PXE boot and install a baseline image with required applications) I have read your tutorial but i need some more orientation (sorry in advance, if this a duplicate question) maybe because my scenario is different.... We have a primary site (Windows 2008 server sp2 + SCCM 2007 sp2 r3) in our Data center (remote location) and a seconday site in our corporate office (My office). DNS and DHCP server are installed on a separate DC. Attached is the screenshot of the …

Hi, as the subject suggests im struggling to deploy XP sp3 x86 to an Optiplex 745 because of mass storage drivers. I can happily deploy the same XP image to other Optiplex such as the 755 or 760 and inject their mass storage drivers because their drivers are available as a download from Dells website. The 745 drivers are built in Windows. When I put an image on a 745 SCCM is obviously making XP look in a different folder for drivers then the central windows drivers and doesnt find anything and I get the BSOD. http://en.community..../wiki/2561.aspx The above URL shows a list of mass storage drivers for Optiplex but if you see the text the 745 isnt listed as th…

Hi all, I have an issue getting machines to PXE boot. We've moved into a new building on a new network structure and our servers are now on a different subnet to clients. Our whole approach to PXE booting has therefore changed. Servers are on Subnet A, and clients (including build area) are on subnet B. At first, we had issues getting the clients to communicate with the SCCM server once they had picked up a DHCP, so we added the IP-Helper command on our Cisco router and now with clients we can get to the 'TFTP......' stage of the PXE boot, which eventually times out. This happens with each variant of our HP 7900, 8000 and 8100 client PCs. Thats fine, we haven't go…

I'm currently having some problems adding a mass storage driver to my task sequence for the deployment of an XP SP3 image. The computer is a Lenovo ThinkCentre M52 and, as far as I've been able to establish, the driver that I need is the Intel 82801 GB/GR/GH (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA driver. I've downloaded it, imported it into SCCM and added it to my driver package. The package has then been pushed out to the DP. But when I go into the task sequence and try to add this driver at the “Select the mass storage driver within the package that needs to be installed before setup on pre-Vista operating systems” option, it just doesn't appear in the drop-down list. I'm aware …

hi there I am having major problems trying to build and capture(B&C) a Windows XP device using a Task Sequence. So far I have followed various posts and topics from here and other sites, none have worked. We do have a complex setup where WSUS is used for the production clients and the SUP will be used for the B&C. Computers for the B&C are in a protected OU and are moved after they have been deployed. Task Sequence: step 1 Install Software Updates - have tried both mandatory and all step 2 Restart computer step 3 Install software Updates - have tried both mandatory and all When you build the device it reports it is installing 116 updates a…

Hey Guys, Might be a stretch but wondering if anyone here had any ideas.... I have a frontend hta built configured in the OSD Task Sequence which as part of it sets the variable OSDTimezone. I basically have a dropdown box with a list of locations available to set the timezone. My problem is that timezone names that have full stops don't set correctly and when the computer loads it has GMT time and not what was selected. I am using the microsoft list: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772783%28WS.10%29.aspx An example is that if "New Zealand Standard Time" is selected it works fine however "A.U.S. Eastern Standard Time" does not. Here is…

This has been a great site for learning SCCM 2007 and getting it set up. I have started the learning process of building and capturing a XP SP3 deployment. I had run into a few problems with a couple of other steps in the process that this site assisted me with, but now I am getting a problem with the TS running sysprep. Right now, I am just not sure if it is a permission issue some where or something completely different. I would appreciate any help. smsts.log

Hi.. Got this message during task sequense of deployment of OS XP. The task sequense installes OS and drivers and when the task sequense is restarting the machine, I`m getting this message. “No bootable devices- strike F1 to retry boot. F2 for setup utility Press F5 to run onboard diagnostics” I run the installation by using "stand alone media from usb memory stick. the memory stick was not removed during the deployment. It worked fine on another computer, but not this one. The computer was a dell E6420. Can it be disk problem? I have tried couple of times and the same thing happens any leads?

Hello all, I'm using SCCM 2007 SP2 to do some test deploying of Windows XP SP1a to a Dell SX270 desktop machine. I've successefully deployed this package (minus the driver which I'll discuss in a minute) to a vmware virtual machine. For the, the package deploys and it does finish the installation of XP and seems to get to the point of bringing up the logon screen for windows, but it goes to blue screen with the mouse icon there that you can move around, but it doesn't respond to any keyboard pressing. I can restart the machine and it does come back up to the windows login screen, but it has not been added to the domain like the package was supposed to do. I am alm…

Hi all, I have a problem with deployent wiht XP OS. The computer starts the task sequenze and what works, at least before rebooting and installation os Windows XP. The computer reboots after installing drivers and setup and config, following screen comes up. but nothing happens. It stays there forever(at least during the weekend). I`m not able to do a thing and the same happens if I try to restart the machine and even starts over again and run the task sequense. It works on other machine so I dont think that has to do with the TS or image. any suggestions? majo
