no nothing is wrong, when you upgrade to SP2 then you have to rebuild any custom boot images, the boot images in your screenshot are the new versions that can support Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, if you are not using a custom boot image then do nothing further apart from verify that your task sequences reference the new boot images and that they are distributed to your dp's

well you could target the machine with a task sequence that just restores the user state and make it mandatory, p.s. my name is Niall not andy

is there cisco switches involved ? if so is portfast set to enabled or disabled ?

nice to hear it and hope you link back to here in whatever document/seminar/etc you release and it's great to see you Citrix guys here !

you can use one task sequence to do this but it does require running on both systems, obviously, plus the logic behind it will probably need some work, however you can start with a standard task sequence and work from there once the computer association is in place

what do you mean it didnt work ? did you update the collection membership/refresh ?

yes of course you can remove the client browse to the ccm installation folder on the pc (your path may be different depening on OS and ARchitecture) open a command prompt, browse to C:\Windows\ccmsetup and enter the following ccmsetup.exe /uninstall wait 5 minutes and refresh the control panel you should see the icons are gone cheers niall

try the following Query instead, notice the use of = instead of like All Windows 7 systems select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from sms_r_system where OperatingSystemNameandVersion = '%Workstation 6.1%' All Windows Vista Systems select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.OperatingSystemNameandVersion = "%Workstation 6%"

youll need the Quest plugin, you can get it from here

what reg key are you trying to add/edit ? and how ? are the systems 64 bit ?

it should be possible, what have you tried so far ?

try disabling your firewall and then run the site discovery again, does it work ? also try to repair the install by clicking on Repair in the components tab

just after a client is installed and before it get's it's policies from the configmgr server, it will appear like you say, with just two actions, under the advanced tab if you click on Discover what happens ? additionally you can initiate the two actions that are present and about 5 minutes later watch to see if the client actions tab gets the new policies (refresh your view/f5)

first of all why are you trying to remove the client ? what is wrong with having it installed ?

The word on the street is that Microsoft is going to be showing off some gear in both London and New York City on October 11th. So far we’ve been able to confirm that it’s a bunch of products, and while the company isn’t specifically confirming that it’s going to show off Windows Phone 7, it does list Windows Phone 7 along with a bunch of other products, when talking about how the company is releasing a bunch of gear this holiday season. Earlier this month I wrote about my experience with Windows Phone 7. In short, it’s a nice interface but I’m still not sure why someone would switch to Windows Phone 7 or even choose it over iPhone, Android or BlackBerry at this stage. Also, it appears that even though Microsoft is launching Windows Phone 7 in Europe first, the company is already set to launch with AT&T, according to the video below that SlashGear dug up. If you haven’t seen it, it’s definitely worth watching since it shows you how your current phone requires you to miss life’s moments–in a very comical way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvV6_t3crlk via > http://www.zdnet.com/blog/mobile-gadgeteer/windows-phone-7-to-be-unleashed-october-11th/3924?tag=mantle_skin;content

It’s been rumored for a while now that Microsoft was going to pull the plug on the blogging platform component of Windows Live (known as Windows Live Spaces). On September 27, company officials made that decision official and public. Microsoft officials announced that Microsoft is partnering with Wordpress to try to help users who’ve set up Windows Live blogs using Spaces to move to the Wordpress platform. At the TechCrunch Disrupt conference, Microsoft and WordPress announced that WordPress is becoming “the default blogging platform of choice for all new and existing Windows Live customers.” Microsoft officials promised the Windows Live Spaces migration to WordPress.com — which will be available as of today, September 27, will be “automated and easy, ensuring the movement of blog content, integrated media, comments and links is simple.” The actual mechanism for moving Spaces blogs over to WordPress blogs is an importer created by WordPress. Going forward, new Windows Live users also will be offered a WordPress.com blog if/when they choose to create a new blog. Windows Live Spaces users will have six months to move off the Spaces platform to WordPress or some other alternative. I’ve asked Microsoft what will happen to their blogs if they don’t do so. No word back so far. Update: Here are a couple of answers from a Microsoft spokesperson to my “what if” questions: Q: What if user doesn’t make the six-month transition cutoff? Is his/her Spaces blog automatically turned into a Wordpress blog? A: There will be several communications to Spaces users in the six months to prompt them to migrate their content to Wordpress or save their content to their PC. If they don’t take either action during the six months, their content will be removed when Spaces is decommissioned. Q: What if a user wants to use something other than WordPress. Will he/she have an option and any kind of migration tools from Microsoft? A: If Spaces users chose not to migrate to WordPress.com, they can save their content and then post to the blogging platform of their choice. WordPress officials noted that they’ve added support for Messenger Connect as a Publicize option on WordPress, “which enables you to automatically share updates to your WordPress.com blog with your friends who use Windows Live Messenger.” Slowly, but surely, the family of the many services offered under the “Windows Live” banner is getting smaller and more definable. Update 2: For those worried about the future of Microsoft’s Windows Live Writer blogging tool/app, Microsoft officials say there is no plan to phase it out and it will remain part of the Windows Live family. via > http://www.zdnet.com/blog/microsoft/microsoft-makes-it-official-windows-live-is-no-longer-a-blogging-platform/7487?tag=mantle_skin;content

if you disable firewalls on both boxes does it help ? as a test

good question, how about this http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/126348-something-to-ask/

is your dhcp server on a different server to the wds server ? if so have you configured any dhcp server scope options ? 66/67 ?

i would be using the Enterprise version in that case, pls test it and confirm

well as you can see from the log, that is exactly what it's complaining about so you need to find out why, if you repeat the process and at the time of the failure bring up a command prompt, does ipconfig show you an ip address ?

ok then, is there any particular reason you are using Windows 7 professional ? i would rather see you test this on Windows 7 Enterprise, I think you'll see the desired result with that version

if you download a free tool called tsenv2 you can see all the variables that SCCM uses in WinPE http://www.1e.com/downloads/freetools/index.aspx what are you planning on doing exactly ? some type of frontend for your deployments ? you can do that using variables and a frontend HTA

here's your error so is the boot image assigned to your task sequence distributed to dps ?

are you deploying win7 using SCCM ?? did you configure the timezone value in your task sequence ?
