well you'll need to capture a Windows XP/2003 image first to see how, read this post

if you just want to capture it then yes disable the entire BUILD section of the build and capture ts, here's a guide for Capturing Windows 7 cheers niall

wds and pxe, no, do nothing * I also have to change/update my boot images - yup if they have any drivers or customisations added/or they are MDT * Set the new client install upgrade in each task sequence - just upgrade your current client package * reinstall every sccm client to sp2 - use this post

that is your original failure, so did you verify that its actually working ?????????????????

If you were installing SCCM 2007 on Windows Server 2008 R2 and then tried to download and install and configure Webdav as you did with Windows Server 2008, you'd have problems getting WebDav to work with SCCM. Webdav in Server 2008 and Server 2008 R2 are different versions, and need to be dealt with differently. Hopefully this post will clear that up:- In a nutshell: Windows Server 2008 - download and install Webdav 7 Windows Server 2008 R2 - Use Server Manager, Roles as described below to install WebDav 7.5 To install Webdav on Server 2008 R2 In Server Manager, in the IIS Role under Server Manager, Go to Add Role Services and add WebDav Publishing listed under Common HTTP Features. Then follow the steps below to configure the WebDav in IIS. How to Configure Windows Server 2008 for Site Systems [Technet] <or> How can I configure SCCM 2007 SP1 in Windows Server 2008 [windows-noob] Why is this important to me ? All .config files are blocked by default on Server 2008 - see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc431377.aspx meaning configuring webdav can be problematic. You can still download and install WebDav 7.5 for Server 2008, however the fundamental difference here is that Server 2008 R2 has it built in, 2008 doesnt, and if you download and install Webdav 7.0 on Server 2008 R2 you may get webdav related problems where the SMS_MP_CONTROL_MANAGER reports failures references: 1. http://www.myitforum.com/forums/S_MP_CONTROL_MANAGER-m217303.aspx 2. http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2010/10/26/error-the-webdav-server-extension-is-either-not-installed-or-not-configured-properly-in-configuration-manager-2007.aspx 3. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc431377.aspx I hope this helps cheers niall

verify that the 8th version of that source package is on the dp P0100007:8 <---

find out what this package is hint look at Package Status and make sure to distribute the package to the DP, then try again cheers niall

check your firewall,

so does it get an ip ? can you ping the fqdn of the sccm server ? can you post the rest of the smsts.log file it seems to be missing some of it.... did you try adding windows 7 network drivers to your boot.wim file ?

what does pxeMSI.log say

great work, and thanks for the guidance as well Peter, I have a PKI guide in the works, coming soon, i would like both of you to go through it and offer feedback once published, cheers niall

thanks for sharing this info, hopefully this will help someone

here's a closer look

first of all how did you setup your task sequence for this and is the target computer partitioned with c: and d: drives ?

hi Marko sorry for the delay in replying i think the answer is yes but have you verified here on Microsofts Volume License site ? in addition take a look at this resource on Technet it has videos explaining activation: * Fundamentals of volume activation * Activating Windows ® 7 with MAK * Activating Windows ® 7 with KMS * Understanding activation and validation in Windows ® 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 cheers niall

Today, I have an update from Kim Griffiths, a product manager on our team focusing on enterprise and government customers. She is a former infrastructure consultant specializing in Active Directory, security, and Microsoft Exchange with more than 15 years of experience working in IT, and will be contributing to our team blog from time to time with information for IT professionals, including podcasts. Kim says: Here’s the scenario: You have the Key Management Service (KMS) hosted on Windows Server 2003 activating your Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 systems. Now you are ready to start piloting and deploying Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. Some of your first questions are likely: · Can I use the same KMS to do that? · Do I need to do anything to make that work? The answer to both is yes. The update to the KMS is necessary because of the keys. With each new product edition and release, new keys are provisioned and distributed to our customers. An update is necessary to make the service aware of these new keys in order to activate the new generation of operating systems. There are basically four steps to accomplish this task: 1) apply the update, 2) install the new key, 3) activate the updated host, and 4) check to make sure everything is working properly. It is a simple process that should only take a few minutes to complete. KMS_Podcast Check out this video podcast to see what you need to do and where to get more information. An update is available that installs Key Management Service (KMS) 1.2 for Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) and for later versions of Windows Server 2003. To learn more, view the KB article (968915). For more information on volume activation, including KMS, visit the Windows Client Tech Center for Volume Activation. It is important to note that there is also an update for KMS hosted on Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008. To learn more, view the KB article (968912). That update is separate from the one described in this blog/podcast, though the process is similar. Not to worry, we’ll cover this one soon. via > http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/genuinewindows/archive/2009/10/19/updating-kms-on-windows-server-2003-to-support-windows-7-and-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx

no it will fail (see step 4 here) you could try capturing it using imagex instead though cheers niall

well if you use computer association you only need one TS with both the state capture and state restore sections added, you'll need to test it first in your lab to get it working properly

just try it and see how you get on, theres not that much different... post questions when you get them

welcome to the forums take a look at these step by step SCCM guides cheers niall

have you looked at configuring iphelpers on your switches or setting portfast settings on them ?

you do know that SCCM does multicasting don't you ? have you tried that ? also have you tried tweaking any of your distribution settings to get the speed up ?

it's on MSDN now too http://www.myitforum.com/forums/SCCM_SP2_Full_installer/m_211609/tm.htm cheers niall

can this be due to webdav 7.5. did you see this yet ?

its my home lab which i don't have access to from work, but if i remember correctly applications is sccm 2007/sms 2003/sql server 2005 and sql server 2008/office 2003/office xp and office 2007, and the hotfixes search folder probably links to some hotfixes..., i'll take a look this evening and if anything cool in there i'll post it here
