you'll have to give more info than this if you want any advice on the problem such as, what hardware setup ? cheers anyweb

thanks for the update and i'm glad it's working now cheers anyweb

thats normal, the shares are created by SCCM itself so you don't have to worry about that, try recreating the package that it's complaining about instead cheers anyweb

i've triple checked your logs its failing on that point everytime see here it refers to the 3: itteration of that package so i really do think you need to start that package again (delete it, recreate it, redistribute it, re update the dp) also read this > http://www.myitforum.com/forums/m_177318/m..._/tm.htm#177318 cheers anyweb

locate the package in SCCM and verify it has a distribution point if you check package status logs you should see some info in there about that specific package without knowing more info about your setup it's hard to say what is wrong but as before i think its either 1. this package is not distributed properly (try re-distributing it) or 2. the network drivers for your client hardware are not imported into boot.wim and as a result Windows PE cannot continue and unfortunately... reboots the computer without telling you, therefore the only way to find out is reading your logs, press F8 and see can you PING the SCCM server at this point cheers anyweb

Reviewing the first beta of an important release like Windows 7 is never an easy job to do. A confouding factor is that many people have already made up their mind about Windows 7; not because they have tried it, but because it's a Microsoft product, and therefore it sucks. At OSNews we try to judge products by their own merits, not by the parent company that created it. Read on for a set of impressions regarding the Windows 7 beta. read more > http://osnews.com/story/20722/Review_Windows_7_Beta

Even though the EULA accompanying the beta build of Windows 7 prohibits the publication of benchmark results (good luck enforcing that one, Redmond), everybody and their dog will still compare the Windows 7 beta to Vista and Windows XP. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes is one of those benchmarking the beta, and according to his results, the Windows 7 beta beats both Vista and XP in just about every scenario. read more > http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=3236&page=1 via > osnews.com

I think this is your problem verify that you have actually distributed and updated the distribution point for that package (IHR00003) if it is updated and distributed then your network drivers are required in boot.wim cheers anyweb

yup look at SMSTS.log as detailed in the link i gave you, i'll edit that post to make the LOG file name clearer cheers anyweb

enable F8 support and post the log here, i'm sure its a network related problem

sorry it's not my area i'd suggest you ask the Gurus on myitforum.com cheers anyweb

you can set the type of advertisement to be mandatory and set it to 'reinstall if failed' keep that test collection as a place for testing new packages until you get them right then use another collection for package deployment cheers anyweb

well to rule out any boot.wim related problems, please use either the Windows Server 2008 DVD OR use the Windows Vista SP1 dvd, if your 'ultimate' dvd is not sp1 then DONT use it cheers anyweb

via neowin

you should probably be creating msi packages then cheers anyweb

are you using the windows vista SP1 dvd to get the boot.wim or some other dvd...

did you follow ALL of the steps outlined here ?

Several Microsoft watchers have speculated that Microsoft may release the Windows 7 beta to Microsoft Action Pack subscribers on or before the 5th January. Microsoft posted a note to its partner site regarding the latest Microsoft Action Pack Subscription quarterly update kit. In the update Windows 7 is included as "download only". The packs content is due to start shipping on "January 5, 2009, depending on region, and continues with the first month of each subsequent quarter (January, April, July, and October). Allow 15 to 30 business days to receive your kit." Despite the rumours we still believe that little will occur over the holiday season and Microsoft will make Windows 7 beta 1 available at Steve Ballmer's CES keynote on January 7th. Microsoft recently sent beta invites to potential testers and Microsoft employee Scott Wylie revealed build 7004 in a blog posting last week. According to sources, Microsoft has finished the Beta 1 bits and they have been signed off as build 7000. Build 7001 and 7002 have been reserved (skipped) and 7003 onwards marks the new RC branch. Ballmer is widely expected to announce the beta to a packed hall full off CES attendees on January 7th 2009. via neowin.net

Windows Vista has been out and about for a while now, and it has already been updated with a service pack, with a second service pack on its way. Vista's successor, Windows 7, is also getting closer and closer to release, but despite all that, Windows XP is still going strong, and demand for the operating system remains high. Because of that, Microsoft has yet again extended Windows XP's lifetime for OEMs and resellers. via osnews.com

if you havn't created the two SMS groups in AD like you are supposed to then how can I help ? or can you please explain what you think you are missing here as I'm out of ideas

what hardware are these systems, could be that the bios has a SATA mode for hard discs which needs 1. a SATA driver or 2. set from SATA to Compatible in the bios cheers anyweb

read this post then scroll down for the solution cheers anyweb

everyone=all users so not likely, can you open Windows Explorer and browse to the same folder and WRITE a file to it ? cheers anyweb

i've tested this and it works fine with lots of updates in the update list have a look at my software update point howto maybe you've missed some steps ? in your WUAhandler.log file I see this so, do you have a group policy setup pointing to the WSUS server ? if so that is not correct and needs to be disabled. SCCM must handle all the updates itself not wsus cheers anyweb

give Everyone full access to the share and try again, does it work then ?
