World Backup Day is something we’re used to mark as an event every year, as a reminder we need to take good care of our data. But this year Altaro challenges us to change our mindsets and start considering the value of a good backup solution not just once, but every day. On this occasion, they’re launching this contest where you might win an Oculus Rift & Touch Virtual Reality System! Let’s hope you’ll be the lucky winner, but if not, they’re giving free eGift Amazon cards as well for all the valid entries. So, for those who want to give it a try, this seems to be a good time to do it.To enter the contest, click here. Good luck and happy backup!

first things first, i hope you snap shotted your labs after each part like i suggested at the start of these guides, secondly, if you look at step 4 part 4 here have you missed anything ? my CDP locations looks quite different to yours and don't point to the root ca at all, but instead it's on the IssuingCA, so how did you cdp end up on the rootca (if you followed my guides...)

give it a go, it doesn't look perfect but let's see how it goes

change the Upgrade Operating System step to include the %drivers01% variable, read my original blog post again from start to finish to see what you missed.

well i don't know what your apply operating system step looks like, can you show us

well you'll need to add some drivers for the chosen model, use WMI queries to determine which model it is

ok well if it's restarting over and over it's probably missing drivers, did you apply any driver package for that model during the IPU task sequence ?

I mean I scheduled updates and something broke. I checked everywhere on my primary site but i am not able to find it. Please guide me. is your post related to using an Upgrade Task Sequence in ConfigMgr or something else ? if it's something else then please raise a new topic.

how can I make this TS lightweight, what steps can be disabled from screenshots attached? you could just create a new task sequence from scratch (non MDT integrated) and start learning what each step does Do I use DISM to capture a custom image with drivers and software on it or how can I do this? I don't capture images today any more, and instead just deploy the built in install.wim (thin image) and use the task sequence steps to customize it, however some people still like to capture thick images, and for that they tend to use MDT, or even SCCM using build and capture. Is it better to include the drivers with DISM or with this TS? never include drivers in a captured image, always inject drivers using steps in the task sequence which are based on wmi queries by make/model, or use modern driver management Would it be possible to customize start menu tiles and shortcuts to my preference? absolutely, i've a blog post here on that

First of all I'd backup your SQL server db's, then move SQL server to it's own dedicated drives, one for SQL DB and another for SQL logs, once done you can try the advice here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/829542/how-do-i-decrease-the-size-of-my-sql-server-log-file

there's some info about iphelpers here

Configuring DHCP should not be necessary, but for UEFI boot where switches are involved using IPHelpers is recommended. Talk to your network guys for help with that. when you PXE boot the client computer (test with virtual machines, eg: hyperv, it's best) then what exactly do you see ? is there any error, if so what ?

ok one step at a time, what do you see when you try to PXE boot the computer, and are you testing this in a lab or in production ? did you update the boot images to the dp ? did you enable them for PXE ?

your query is incorrect SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE Model LIKE “HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF PC” try replacing it with this instead SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE Model LIKE "HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF PC" also, are you sure that the computer model is indeed HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF PC ?

hi can you post the logs from C:\Programdata\ so i can take a look ?

and where do you see that error exactly ? can you show me a screenshot..

technically i'm sure it's possible but you'd have to script something to make the call to AD and then pull the relevant data.

best of luck with it Thomas, i know it's complex to setup, but once you have it all working in a lab it's worth it !

hi Thomas, i guess you missed the start of the blog post ? here it is again...I've also added a hard link to part 5 at the end of this blog post, thanks This series is comprised of different parts, listed below. Part 1 - Introduction and server setup Part 2 - Install and do initial configuration on the Standalone Offline Root CA Part 3 - Prepare the HTTP Web server for CDP and AIA Publication Part 4 - Post configuration on the Standalone Offline Root CA (this part) Part 5 - Installing the Enterprise Issuing CA Part 6 - Perform post installation tasks on the Issuing CA Part 7 - Install and configure the OCSP Responder role service Part 8 - Configure AutoEnroll and Verify PKI health

can you do a teamviewer session so i can take a look ?

can you post the error if you have it please

hi at the bottom of each post it links to the next in the series. Did you miss that ? fyi, all the Current Branch content I've written is listed here in chronological order https://www.windows-noob.com/forums/topic/13288-step-by-step-guides-system-center-configuration-manager-current-branch-and-technical-preview/ here are the 4 parts of this series How can I install System Center Configuration Manager (Current Branch) version 1802 on Windows Server 2016 with SQL Server 2017 – Part 1 How can I install System Center Configuration Manager (Current Branch) version 1802 on Windows Server 2016 with SQL Server 2017 – Part 2 How can I install System Center Configuration Manager (Current Branch) version 1802 on Windows Server 2016 with SQL Server 2017 – Part 3 How can I install System Center Configuration Manager (Current Branch) version 1802 on Windows Server 2016 with SQL Server 2017 – Part 4 I will edit the posts to link to all 4 parts.

ok is the e5580 that imaged ok on the same vlan as this one ?

yeah it never downloads that nbp file as far as i can see, so what is between this computer and the distribution point hosting PXe ? are you sure you've updated both the X86 and X64 boot images to this dp ?

eh it was sideways, can you try again please and let me see it right up until the error
