have you read the documentation for the product ? maybe it's in there

kick off a Data Discovery cycle and see what happens

verify the package exists and if it does distribute it to the dp again if that fails, delete the package from the dp, then delete the package, then recreate it, then redistribute it to a DP or DP(s)

you can do software updates with wsus, or with sccm, not both, sccm will control wsus once you set it up that way, your system status logs in ConfigMgr admin console should give you some ideas as to why its failing (look for the wsus logs)

is your dhcp server on the same server as sccm or on another box ? if DHCP server is on another box then configure it like so

you need to Add those boot images and create a distribution point and distribute the new boot images you can find out how to do that here in the Vista guide, I have updated the Deploy XP documentation to make this clearer.

you dont need Java installed for the reporting, just make sure ASP is installed see part 6 of this guide also verify that your user is a member of the Active Directory Security Group SMS Reporting Users, by default the SMS Reporting Users does not contain any users or groups. If you add additional users/groups to the "SMS Reporting Users" group besides the administrator account, you installed with, you'll need to do a few other things. 1) Give the SMS Reporting Users security group Read permissions to the Object Class Report or 2) Give any additional groups you added to SMS Reporting Users Read permissions to the Object Class Report hth cheers

Despite the generally positive reception of Windows 7 so far, there will still be many people who will want to stick to Windows XP. For these people, downgrade rights are particularly important, and Microsoft has confirmed the rules of the game to El Reg. via http://www.osnews.com/story/21698/Microsof...owngrade_Rights

try setting SMSSITECODE=AUTO

you need to add the Windows Vista network drivers for your computer to the BOOT.WIM file that you created in this post you can use imageX to do that

yes thats right, you don't HAVE to do anything with WDS other than install it, however you CAN configure it if you wish but, for OSD you MUST install WDS otherwise it just wont work, configured or not. cheers anyweb

is the port 80 listed in the log the correct one that iis is listening on ? have you tried uninstalling the SMP and reinstalling it ? some info from Technet on USMT SMP http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb693655.aspx
