ok from your log so, remove the Windows 7 product key from the task sequence and try again please cheers niall

are you trying to manually sysprep this machine ? it looks like it can't find sysprep.exe, so how did you create this task sequence ? here's your failure from the log

ok so it is not part of an SCCM task sequence ? and you are running it via a script ? if you run the same line as a local administrator does it work ?

the link is being fixed according to Johan Arwidmark, here it is in the meantime trace64.zip Rename trace64.bob to .exe cheers niall

no it doesnt need to be on the pxe share, please post your smsts.log file here and i'll take a look at it

did you redistribute the configmgr client package ? (right click it, choose update distribution points..)

feel free to be a test guinea pig and try it in windows 7 and report back here start with something easy like IIS

go to the actions tab in configuration manager client (control panel on the w7 box) click on Machine policy retrieval.... and initiate that actionk wait a few minutes and check RAP again

are you doing this in a task sequence or what ?

watch it here Lots of R3 info ! cheers niall

and here's a video about R3 incase you missed it

or alternatively they could stay right here and get sample task sequences and webcasts http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1633-sample-xp-to-windows-7-task-sequences/

ok i'll do a webcast about this soon to clear it up, but in the mean ime I don't have to run the ccmsetup.exe? nope Where Do I find the RAP? on the reference? rap is on the client, in control panel, it is Run Advertised Programs The Capture TS got the autologin_enable Program allready involved in the Autologin via registry Task I hope the automagicle .xml will do its magic i'm sure it will (autologin)

no worries ! this is the right place to be a noob, the file is there, somewhere, see here how to find it and how to enable F8 http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/546-how-can-i-troubleshoot-windows-pe-booting-in-sccm/ cheers niall

it's a good question, where i'm currently at is in the midst of being ugpraded from SMS to SCCM, and with that getting SUP implemented, OSD, windows 7 and so on, there are 6 or so sms/sccm admins managing (i'm one) doing various tasks such as application packaging,dsitribution, troubleshooting, patch management, and so on, the task are split up because the company is global so there always has to be something done somewhere, i'm dealing with the server upgrade, SUP implementation, and OSD (windows xp > windows 7), i sometimes do packaging too cheers niall

ok can you post the SMSTS.log file here please

you obviously removed more than you needed, as the error means as follows: 12 USMT_FAILED_MIGSTARTUP (Error in XML file ‘Bad XML’) so take another look at your xml's and check for typos etc cheers niall

if you need to add IIS and other server type roles then MDT integration will make it easy (for server roles and features), otherwise you'll have to script it all.

and di you check diskpart as i asked above ?

you can build, customise as much as you want, and then capture as a separate task sequence, here's how http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1543-how-can-i-capture-windows-7/

the recommended way is by using unattend.xml, i've given a short example of that here

is the firewall on the server ?

no, do this while the computer is logged on in windows, in the RAP (run advertised programs) select your Capture task sequence it will apply the autologin, remove from domain, reboot, prepare configmgr, and capture the os
