good question do any of your windows or sccm logs on the client reveal the cause ?

have their been any changes to the server, like sccm updates ? are any DHCP server options set on the dhcp server ??

I think this page on Technet has some good info about software update compliance scans, i've bolded and italicised parts for your benefit in particular this part and then there is this bit and there are several more references to when a scan is initiated, it's all in the link above. the following log(s) might be of use in this case PolicyEvaluator.log - Provides information about the process for evaluating policies on client computers, including policies from software updates. ScanAgent.log - Provides information about the scan requests for software updates, what tool is requested for the scan, the WSUS location, and so on. smscliUI.log - Provides information about the Configuration Manager Control Panel user interactions, such as initiating a Software Updates Scan Cycle from the Configuration Manager Properties dialog box, opening the Program Download Monitor, and so on. UpdatesHandler.log - Provides information about software update compliance scanning and about the download and installation of software updates on the client. UpdatesStore.log - Provides information about the compliance status for the software updates that were assessed during the compliance scan cycle. does this help ? cheers niall

ok, has the sccm server been rebooted ?

trigger it from within windows using the RAP, (run advertised programs) cheers niall

ok read this http://blogs.technet.com/adnanezzi/archive/2009/06/22/configmgr-2007-osd-how-to-allow-dhcp-broadcasts-across-vlan-s.aspx specifically interestingly i've seen \boot\x86\pxeboot.com and smsboot\x86\wdsnbp.com working, use what works for you ok ? cheers niall

are the firewalls enabled/disabled ? are your boundaries configured correctly ? if you enable the active directory discovery methods to poll now do you see any difference ?

ok after thinking about how your environment is set up, lets step back a bit here, have you imported this computer (name plus mac address) into SCCM yet (using computer association) ?

As the System Center team heads towards the release of R3, we are excited to release a refresh build of the ConfigMgr R3 beta. This release incorporates fixes as well as enhancements to Power Management reporting.

it will remain set to Manual, but your scheduled backup will take place, verify by looking at the backup logs and check the location of where you told it to backup to

i had the same problem last week, i resolved it by logging out, removing the users profile i had logged in as, logging back in as that user and trying again, it worked fine, to verify this you could try the same or use another local administrator account on that server, if that also fails have you tried different media ?

did you see this post ?

do you have the possiblity of me connecting to the server via vnc/rdp or some other method if not i understand but if you do let me know otherwise tell me apart from the MP logs what else is showing errors in the sccm servers status logs ?

installing it as a ROLE is the recommended way in server 2008 r2 http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1513-install-webdav-in-server-2008-r2-for-sccm-2007/ please read the above if you havn't already

yes but did you download webdav or install it as a role ? that's the key difference between server 2008 and server 2008 r2

how did you setup webdav in server 2008 r2 ?

i think this is just the way SCCM stages boot media onto your bootable partition (hard disc), why it does it this way i don't know, have you checked/double checked your actual advertisements distribution point settings, perhaps changing them might change the behaviour you are seeing

i've heard of people doing it via an iso in MDT 2008, but not mdt 2010, perhaps due to the new windows 7 based WinPE ?

also powershell is needed for Windows XP boxes hosting the console (when creating an MDT boot image), anyone got a script for installing that to add to this ?

great work, thanks for sharing, pinning this topic !

are you seeing an UAC prompt on the windows 7 client when you attempt to remote to it ?, as wmmayms says, 80004005 is access denied..

what OS is running on the clients you are trying to connect to ?

you create the reg file and stick it in a folder, called 'autologin_win7' or similar, you then create a package and when it asks you for package source you point to the dircetory called autologin_win7 or whatever you called it, once the package is made, create the program and then distribute the package to distribution points

please tell us how you get on and what your thoughts are of the product
