disable the firewall on the client try again, does anything happen ?

yes you can make separate packages for the language packs and the office 2007 pack, otherwise you'll be wasting a lot of bandwidth

Microsoft's original plan was to release Windows 7 three years after Windows Vista, which would put the release date somewhere in January of 2010. Microsoft already made it clear that it would ship sooner, before the holiday season, but we've now got what is most likely the official release dates. Windows 7 will be released to manufacturing at the end of July, with the actual release date being set for October 22 - 2009, that is. The release dates were first unveiled by Ina Fried, and later confirmed by Ed Bott. This probably makes it the first Windows version to be released ahead of schedule, putting an end (for now) to the various jokes about new Windows versions always being released behind schedule. Fun fact: Windows 7 will be released almost exactly 8 years after Windows XP, which was released October 25, 2001. Microsoft also confirmed that there will be a guarantee program under which people who buy computers with Windows Vista close to the launch date will be eligible for a free or discounted copy of Windows 7. Details are unknown as of yet, but as with previous incarnations of this program, computer makers will decide pricing information. more > http://www.osnews.com/story/21602/Windows_...unch_October_22

did you remember to do the MDT pxe filter ?

have you tried adding a Restart step in the Task sequence between the office install and sp2

no, sccm will grab the space as needed on the drives, if you want to stop it from using a drive then use a file called NO_SMS_ON_DRIVE.SMS and place it on the root of your drive that you DON'T Want used

from your log and and

you can have multiple distribution points on several servers and you can decide what package goes to what distribution point(s) when you actually create the new DP for the package, does that make sense ? see the screenshot, it has TWO distribution points, one is on my actual SCCM server and the other is on the WSUS server which was added as a server role (sup) and then I added a distribution point role to that server also, now when i look at the distribution points listed for Adobe Reader 9 I see both the sccm server standard DP and the DP on my WSUS server.... you can have as many or as few as you need depending on your package needs and location to ADD a new Distribution point to a server you must add the Distribution Point Role to that server (new roles...), you cannot add this role unless you have a server available, so first Add a Site server, then add roles.., in the screenshot below, the WSUS server was added as a Site Server by doing as follows, once I added it as a Site Server I could add additional roles to it, for example, the Distribution Point role. cheers anyweb

that means the client hasnt been imported into sccms database yet so... use computer association to import the pc using its mac address then try pxe boot again

has it run the task sequence already ? if so it will ignore the advertisement if it is set to Never rerun.. you could use right-click tools or Roger Zanders SCCM client center to rerun the advertisement (very useful in a testing environment) cheers anyweb

look at this sound familiar ??

you'll have to select your package, right click and choose Manage Distribution Points then remove the MP you don't want to use and select the one you do want to use cheers anyweb

this could be related to your dhcp server, your WDS server setup or DNS issues, so to try them all do a DNS lookup test, type nslookup and verify the results are ok for wdsserver you must have the wdsserver 'service' listed in one of the share permissions, check the remoteinstall share on your server and verify the permissions on that share, if you do not see WDSServer listed then you'll have to uninstall wds servvice, reboot, delete remoteinstall folder, and finally reinstall wds service where is your dhcp server located, on the SCCM server or on another box..... if on another box you may need to configure option 66, 67 or using IP helpers, i've seen your problem before so we will solve it, cheers anyweb

i'm in central europe (sweden) so GMT +1 hour, i should be around tomorrow night which will be during your office day, so try contacting me on msn then, if i\'m around i'll reply

good luck, and read my windows SIM posts to get a better overview of how it all works.. it's a confusing area to say the least

the port is defined when you install SCCM as in this screenshot if you want to change it, then go into site settings and right click, choose properties, then ports as below

hi all the site will change look and feel very very soon, to get an idea of what it will look like then please browse it's sister site linux-noob.com cheers anyweb

where on your sccm server did you define it for port 200 ?

i need more info about your setup, server os etc

in your site settings, client agents, what is your Policy Polling Interval (minutes) set to ? it's listed under Computer Client Agent

and if you manually do the action i just said on the client, how long does it take ?

where did you create the cd ? I assume that you created it on the other primary server or within that boundary, or not ?

if you initiate a Machine Policy Retrieval and Evaluation Cycle, then it should speed up the process considerably, how long is it taking from you creating an advertisement to a client seeing it ?

whatever you can see in unattend.xml or sysprep.inf should be able to be substituted as a collection variable as long as you do a Gather (ztigather) beforehand and Configure (zticonfigure) afterwards both scripts are part of the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit and already present in a standard MDT task sequence start your testing by doing TimeZone first, then when you have it working, expand by adding one more variable at a time, here are the values for timezone by the way (scroll down) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772783.aspx cheers anyweb

on the client side verify (for testing) that the firewall is off. on the client side do an nslookup test to verify that there are NO dns issues on the server side verify in ConfigMgr all systems collection that the client you are trying to push software to is listed as Client=Yes and Approved=Yes cheers anyweb
