are you specifying anything in the Domain OU field, in the Apply Network Settings step ?

have you looked through the below, do they help ?

Microsoft is scrambling to repair a security hole in its widely used Internet Explorer web browser, saying it had detected attempts to exploit the flaw. The US software giant said in a blog post the coding problem affected versions six through 11 of its flagship browser, noting it was aware of "limited, targeted attacks" taking advantage of the newly discovered flaw. The exploit uses Flash and a technique called heap feng shui, which Microsoft says can allow an attacker who successfully exploits the vulnerability to gain the same user rights as a user. "The vulnerability may corrupt memory in a way that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user within Internet Explorer," Microsoft said on its security website on Saturday. "An attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit this vulnerability through Internet Explorer and then convince a user to view the website." Cybersecurity firm FireEye, which took credit for identifying the flaw, said hackers were exploiting the bug in a campaign nicknamed "Operation Clandestine Fox." Users still relying on Windows XP could be especially vulnerable because Microsoft stopped earlier this month supporting the older operating system with security patches and other software updates. read more @ ZDnet > http://www.zdnet.com/xp-users-set-to-miss-out-on-ie-patch-7000028820/

sure

is the hardware UEFI ? are you deploying a UEFI capable task sequence ? if not, diskpart it first and try again

verify that the date/time on this computer is correct (in the bios)

to silently uninstall SCEP it's just scepinstall.exe /u /s create a package/program to do that, easy. But try the above first

it would be interesting to see what happens when you use the EN-US version of the ISO,

it's covered here Automatically remove previously installed antimalware software before Endpoint Protection is installed Select True or Yes to attempt to uninstall existing antimalware software. Note Endpoint Protection attempts to uninstall the following antimalware software only: Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition version 10 Symantec Endpoint Protection version 11 Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition version 12 McAfee VirusScan Enterprise version 8 Trend Micro OfficeScan Microsoft Forefront Codename Stirling Beta 2 Microsoft Forefront Codename Stirling Beta 3 Microsoft Forefront Client Security v1 Microsoft Security Essentials v1 Microsoft Security Essentials 2010 Microsoft Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 Microsoft Security Center Online v1 If you try to install the Endpoint Protection client on a computer and the uninstall of an existing antimalware solution is not supported, then the Endpoint Protection client installation will fail. In this case, you can use application management to uninstall the existing antimalware solution, install the Endpoint Protection client and then use the Manage Endpoint Protection client on client computers client setting to let Configuration Manager manage the newly installed Endpoint Protection client. I would recommend testing first on a test computer (or three) to verify the behaviour matches your expectations

sorry but with the current zero day reported and linked to Adobe products I won't be clicking on the pdf, can you post your screenshots instead here

try re-deploying whatever task sequence it is to a collection, the last task sequence deployed will contain the boot wim that all successive task sequences on that collection will use for first boot (and then they'll stage their respective boot wim)

does this post help you ?

press f8 at the 'empty grey sccm screen' then do cmtrace X:\Windows\Temp\SMSTSLOG\smsts.log and tell us what errors are reported in that log.

does it fail after the boot to WinPE or while still in windows ? if it's while in WinPE then have you verified that it actually has an ip address and can ping the fqdn of the management point in winpe ?

yes i'm aware of the F11 trick, however make a change in your Configuration Manager console on the distribution point properties, does it still work after that ?

if you want to build and capture windows 7 X64 then you need a 64 bit boot wim, for deploying either OS (unless UEFI) you can use an x86 boot wim.

look here http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/4045-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-guides/

yes of course, do it. How you decide to install the client later is all part of your overall plan.Have you seen the guides here yet ?

are the clients at CU1 level also ?

hi dennis have you seem the CM12 BitLocker Frontend HTA task sequence, it's mainly targetted at bitlocker users but has multi language capability built in as well, im port the task sequence from the zip and take a look at how the task sequence works, maybe it will help you

that is your package source(s) and yes you would definitely need to keep them, any time the package is updated (changed) it will want to read from the data source

windows Store apps (from the store) must be sideloaded. if you are creating your own windows 8 apps then have you seen this post ? http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/9430-how-can-i-create-windows-81-applications-and-then-deploy-them-with-system-center-2012-r2-configuration-manager/

why are you running the hta using serviceui, I normally 'call' the hta via the task sequence

have you looked at your application pool settings for the webservice ?

just install teamviewer and Allow Remote control, then drop me a mail with the username/password needed to access it, and let's agree on a time that works for both of us niall@windows-noob.com
