I think the best place to get that answer is from your Microsoft representative, if you have the Core or Enterprise CAL you should be ok to install Configuration Manager, do you ?

if i get time i will try and replicate this

check the policy applied on the client, is it the antimalware policy you applied to the collection that this computer is a member of ? also verify that it is getting the correct Client Device settings for that collection

are you logged in with a domain user account when running the check (or just as a local account)

how are you creating your 'ts media'

nicely done

sorry, where are there contrary reports ?

you need to specify NAME and MAC ADDRESS or NAME and SMSBIO GUID, you must have at least two

sounds like you deployed an OS to the All Systems collection did you ?

can you post of a screenshot of what values you entered

thanks, people still do want to do client push though, even if it's the manual option. I will certaintly consider adding this as a step in the next iteration of these guides, thanks ! As regards getting the client on the computers i've simplified it even more using Microsoft's best practise method which i describe in detail in Part 5 of this series (linked below). using System Center 2012 Configuration Manager - Part 5. Adding WSUS, Adding the SUP role, deploying the Configuration Manager Client Agent Part 5. Adding WSUS, Adding the SUP role, deploying the Configuration Manager Client Agent [June 3rd, 2012]

have you tested running the script as the local system account, you can test this using a tool called psexec from sysinternals. start a command prompt as system psexec.exe -s cmd.exe and then run your script from within that SYSTEM command prompt.

nice, and thanks for posting the solution !

do you mean Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2010 or something else ?

have you deployed any antimalware policy to a collection ? are your computers a member of that collection ?

box A can share the internet using internet connection sharing, have you tried that ? you'd have to disable the dhcp server (if any) on your wrt 54G as the computers would get their ip address from box A

well the failure is logged as Setting wizard error: An error occurred while starting the task sequence (0x8007000E). For more information, contact your system administrator or helpdesk operator. which sounds very like you have too many updates targetted to this machine - see this post for details of that. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrosd/thread/53f84517-0f84-438b-bf07-c828c5f2109b

well it depends on how far you've gone, for example does this site have permissions delegated in AD for the system management container ? probably the best thing to do would be to uninstall the site (control panel, select Configuration Manager... in Programs/features and uninstall it...) wait for it to completely uninstall before rebooting, then start again.

unconfigure it and try again

looks like you have a gpo configured at the domain level for WSUS (software updates), check this and either get it disabled or rethink your Configuration Manager 2012 SUP strategy.

it's a pretty confusing diagram, ever tried MS Paint ;-) why don't you just setup a NAT of some sort and do it that way

hi Gary. please do post the smsts.log file from a machine where this problem has occurred

from your ConfigMgrSetup.log is the logged on user a domain user and a local administrator of this computer ?

are your clients XP or Windows 7 ? why did you think it was a windows installer problem ?

i wouldn't install them on the same server, not sure if it's even supported. as regards can you install a primary site without a CAS, of course, but then it will be a standalone primary site with a maximum support of up to 100,000 clients.
