does the WDS service start now ?

is it a Dell, if so you are lucky, you can create a package to enable/disable changes in the bios with a tool called DCCU, if its not a dell then i don't know cheers niall

what result do you get when you try this ? Open a command prompt on your client hardware (the machines you intend to be deploying to....) and type wmic To find out the model name type this CSProduct Get Name The result is what we need

I came across this while building a USB key to do a standalone deployment and the error produced wasn't so helpful so I thought i'd document how to resolve it. Error: Some required packages are not available in selected distribution points. Please select more distribution points. Ok, based on the error I tried to select all dp's but still it failed with the same message, meaning i could not continue with the wizard. So then I started to troubleshoot the problem: I checked all packages referenced in my selected task sequence and all showed up ok in package status and the selected distribution point was indeed listed. I updated each package listed in the Task Sequence References on the respective distribution point. I turned to the internet for answers. After a quick search I found no hits so I set about figuring out what the error really meant. I checked my System Status, Component Status and saw that the Distribution Manager logs (SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER) were in a critical state, so i selected it and looked at the messages within. There were two errors which caught my attention, Message ID 2302 and 2307. They were telling me that Distribution Manager did not have access to either the package source directory or the distribution point amonst other suggestions. So I set about looking at the Package details using the package ID. That revealed the the package source was missing, my own fault, I removed some wim files to free up space on my HyperV laptop and simply forgot about it. I found the missing wim, replaced it, updated the dp and re-ran the wizard, this time all 6 of 6 packages were seen and I could complete the wizard. so the lessons learned from this are:- * make sure not to delete something unless you know it won't be used again * when creating standalone media, make sure X of X packages matches, if it's X-1 of X, or another variant of that then it won't work cheers niall

i have a feeling that C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Imaging\wimgapi.dll 6.0.6001.18000 might be causing the failure, see if you can replace it with the other version or just delete it and try again

maybe the firewall on your server is blocking the communication ?

cool, can you confirm what you changed in that file (paste it here please)

windows 7 machine can be sysprepped of course, as sysprep is built into the os now (since vista)

yup, they have renamed the task from import microsoft .... to Create Microsoft Deployment Task Sequence, perhaps to make it clearer, so go ahead and select that option, i'll update the documentation [done] thanks for bringing it to my attention

can you try this please http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=669 cheers niall

give everyone full access as a test just to rule out ntfs and share permissions

what are the share permissions on the SMP folder itself, perhaps they are too restrictive ?

hi anndc, can you post some of the messages you are seeing please ?

no, just change your logic, DO all bits in this group if model = DELL whatever otherwise it will skip that group

if both of you search for all copies of wimgapi.dll on your systems and report back the versions and file locations of that file here please

ok you have wds on one server right ? can you install the PSP role on that server yes/no ?

this is how create a new group for each model and place the appropriate software install commands in each group, cheers niall

try temporarily disbaling the firewall on the client and do a Data Discovery, do you see the client in configmgr collections ? is it approved and client=yes ?

i assume you mean that the video driver is not appearing once xp is installed or ?

it shouldn't hang, verify that there isnt a UAC prompt or some other process holding it back (anti-virus perhaps ?)

Asset Intelligence logs There are some Asset Intelligence logs on the SCCM server that you should be aware of. On computers that serve as management points, the client logs are located in the %ProgramFiles%\SMS_CCM\Logs folder. Eg: on my server here they are found at D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Logs aikbmgr.log Provides information about the Asset Intelligence catalog manager service. aiupdatesvc.log Provides information about the Asset Intelligence catalog synchronization service and can be useful to determine the following: * When the service starts. * Where the Asset Intelligence synchronization point is located. * The time of the next scheduled catalog synchronization. For example, look for a section of the log that should correspond to this:- aiussetup.log Provides information about the installation of the Asset Intelligence catalog synchronization point site system role. Eg: look for the following aiusmsi.log Provides information about the installation of the Asset Intelligence catalog synchronization point site system role. A successful install should be listed as such Where can I get More Info about Asset Intelligence ? For more info about Asset Intelligence from Technet please see the following: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb632714.aspx - Overview of Asset Intelligence http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc161825.aspx - Configuring Asset Intelligence http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc161947.aspx - Prerequisites for Asset Intelligence http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc431446.aspx - Asset Intelligence Security Best Practices and Privacy Information http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc161767.aspx - Troubleshooting Asset Intelligence

Connected to Online Service Once the sync has taken place the Asset Intelligence Sync Status should be listed as Connected to Online Service If it is not, for example if it states that the online service account is not provisioned [see below screenshot], you could try changing the sync schedule to every 1 days until the sync has taken place, then change it back to the default of every 7 days once it is listed as Connected to Online Service. If it's still failing verify your connection settings (proxy) and review the AIupdatesvc logs and see if the following Hotfix is applicable to you.
