Hi, I've followed this guide: https://www.andersrodland.com/deploy-net-framework-4-6-2-with-sccm/ to deploy the .net framework as an SCCM application, it works perfectly when i deploy it to machines outside of an OSD TS, but when deployed as part of a TS it appears to get stuck for ages, then does a forced restart (no countdown, just cuts off the TS process) then loads up into windows without continuing the rest of the image. Anyone have any suggestions on a solution for this? EDIT: typical, this problem annoyed me for 2 days, soon as i put a thread up for help, i find the solution. I just had to tick "Run installation as 32-bit process on 64-bit clients"

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682077.aspx#BKMK_SupConfigAdDomains You do lose some functionality if you have a functional level lower than 2003 mind. "If you configure discovery to filter and remove stale computer records, the Active Directory domain functional level must be a minimum of Windows Server 2003." Wouldn't have thought it would support anything older than 2000.

Have you sent both the x86 and x64 boot images to the DP (regardless of whether you use them both, you need them both there and distributed) Check the reference tab on the task sequence and go through each package that's referenced to ensure all of them are distributed. Finally if you haven't deployed them and you're only distributing them through a task sequence check the setting on each package or program which says something along the lines of "allow this package to be distributed through a task sequence without being deployed" both applications and packages have that option but both in different places and possibly worded slightly differently.

Sounds like you haven't distributed one of the packages referenced in your task sequence to the distribution point. Package BLV00001 - considering that package ID it's probably the boot image or your OS image.

It's ok, i've found the issue. I've got 5 applications in one application section of the sequence and i think one of those is wanting a restart but isn't initiating one, as soon as i remove that application from the task sequence everything goes fine. Interestingly though this is only an issue since the 2012R2 upgrade, worked fine this way previously. The application in question also appears quite early in the sequence so it must only bomb out once it hits another application that wants a reboot. Put it into it's own application sequence now to see if that resolves it. Thanks EDIT: that fixed it, huzzah!

Looks like the .net application was a bit of a red herring. I tried sticking a restart in before the dotnet install and it restarted itself part way through running perperation to run the restart task. Seems like it's either dropping out once a set amount of data is downloaded to the laptop or after a set amount of time, very strange.

I'm yet to try deploying to an existing machines (will test this soon) I've tried deleteing the packages completely and recreating and redistibuting them but that hasn't made any difference sadly, machine still instantly reboots itself once it gets to this point in the task sequence. Even though it's a given, this is the command my package runs: "dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe /q /norestart /ChainingPackage ADMINDEPLOYMENT"

Hi There, I'm trying to deploy an image and as soon as it hits the .Net 4 package the imaging process instantly restarts the machine and loads windows, even if i have the F8 window open at the time. It gets to 80-90% on downloading the package at the point it restarts. Logs attached, but I'm unsure which logs i need as it leaves behind the _SMSTaskSequence folder in the root of C:, I've taken the smsts logs from both their and the Windows\CCM\Logs folders... This image installs the OS, drivers, office and a bunch of other apps fine up until the .net 4 or .net 4.5 tasks (both get the same error) ticking to continue on error has no effect, nor does having the F8 command window open. I should add the following two snippets of information: These worked fine before upgrading to 2012R2. I moved my sources share where the installers are held to a different drive not long after the upgrade to 2012 as i was running out of space, this meant redoing the share and security permissions on a new sources folder which i think i did correctly. Other applications and packages are installing fine from within the sources folder though. Thanks smsts from ccm logs.log smsts from smstasksequence.log smsts-20131031-155404.log smsts-20131031-230023.log

Is there of distinguishing different task sequence components to use different methods of installation? For example i'd prefer that the OS install went from DP first rather than download then for drivers to download and run locally as this seems to be quicker again on my setup, then again for the apps that run batch files to run locally rather than from the DP.

I've never used the "Access all content from DP" option before, I've always used download and run locally but i was testing it today and found the same thing, much quicker.....but would i be right in thinking that this change is the reason some of my packages that run batch scripts didn't work? Two of which execute .bat files with multiple lines. I assume that running them in a "remote run" scenario causes them to execute with a \\server\share based path for the executable rather than a local drive letter which is why they'd failed? .....I spent ages trying to work out why they kept getting an error and I've eventually come to that conclusion, can someone confirm if it sounds correct?

Hi there, I'm having some irritating issues since the upgrade to R2, I'm deploying a very basic image containing only a few applications. The OS Image deploys fine, the drivers deploy fine, the machine reboots to finalise the windows install and starts the boot image again to install the configmgr client. This runs through fine (or appears to) but as soon as the client install finishes I'm left with a blank screen (SCCM background wallpaper but no progress box). I have F8 support enabled in the boot image but i can't open up the F8 window while it's installing the client or while it's on the blank screen. The process proceeds to sit on the blank screen for aggggges (I've not timed it but it's well over 5 minutes) before eventually starting into windows, albeit without completeing the rest of the task sequence. I'll edit this post with the logs soon. Any ideas? EDIT: Well, i couldn't find the logs containing ANY errors whatsoever but i've managed to fix this.....it was either the setting "allow this program to be installed from the install package task sequence without being deployed" in the client install package, or it was becuase the "requirements" tab for my client manager package was ticked for "all windows 7 64bit" which i can't ever remember doing, but i assume that becuase the boot image belongs to windows 8.1 it wouldn't install the client with that ticked. Anyway, solved.

Exactly the same scenario as the OP here, esx 5.1U1 where my SCCM server is running, VMXNET3 NIC, SCCM2012R2 and downloading the image takes a very long time.

Would i be right in thinking that the backup/restore method requires you to install SCCM on the 2012R2 server as the same level of SCCM as you had backed up, before then upgrading SCCM to R2 as well after the restore? EDIT: Come to think of it, are there any guides around to doing this? I've never had to do a restore to an SCCM server before.

Multicast disabled: Imaging process works fine, I've done over 300 machines this way so far. I can always return to unicast and everything will work again after failing with mutlicast. Multicast enabled: Image bombs out with the 0x80091007 error at the very start, it says "creating a multicast session" then errors at the exact same moment it tries to start the applying operating system part. Unsure whether the multicast session even gets created though, because i never see any multicast routes appear on my router. (I'm not even sure if i should be able to, I assume though that something should show up in either "show ip mroute" or "show ip pim mroute" - this is a HP 8206zl) but at the same time the box behind switches to "Apply operating system" which leads me to believe it does.

Did you ever solve this? I have this problem except it's specific to one laptop, I can deploy to lots of other variations of hardware except for one model of laptop we have and it's REALLY bugging me. The OS installs fine, drivers install fine, windows settings get set such as license key and adding it to the domain even works, but as soon as it reboots to start installing applications it fails.

Sigh, seems that i was just being a bit of a burk.... i hadn't deployed my driver packages for the lan drivers to a distribution point. Lesson learnt, problem solved Didn't think it was drivers to begin with but after trying some physical machines i got a better idea of the issue. Not sure what the problem is wth one of my VMs, think it's unrelated.

Hi there, I've got 1 task sequence and 2 VMs running in vmware workstation. One VM is known to SCCM and this images fine with no errors from start to finish, the other though is an unknown machine. The task sequence is deployed to both the known device collection and the unknown computers collection. When i start imaging the unknown machine it installs the OS fine, runs through all the usual steps, doesn't give me any errors or information regarding adding the machine to the domain, instead it carries on as normal up until the first package or application install and fails (i assume due to lack of network credentials to access where they're stored) once the machine starts up it's named correctly but not on the domain. Is there anything additional i need to do for unknown computers that known computers don't need? Any help much appreciated Background on the setup: SCCM 2012 with SP1 on Windows Server 2008R2 with SP1.

I was actually being pretty stupid... i had gone into the client settings and looked at the endpoint protection part but the wording threw me off. I thought the setting for enabling endpoint protection was actually to allow people logged in to the client pc to be able to manage the EP software. So i had left it as false, enabled now though Got my head around the collections part now so i'm slowly deploying everything to our IT office before rolling it all out to the rest of the site, fantastic

Ah thank you, just what i wanted

Right first of all let me start by saying i hadn't played around with either of the RCs or betas so I'm completely new to SCCM2012, and while i had SCCM2007 running it was never fully utilised as i found out half way through setting it up last year about SCCM2012 and as it wasn't important to have 2007 running i just dropped what i was doing and waited...... so in other words please talk to me like a noob as i'm still learning this as i go Now though I'm working my way through the RTM release and using the RC2 documentation as a rough guide to setting it up, making notes where things have changed or i need to do something seperate from the documentation, but i've hit a snag at endpoint protection deployment.. I've installed the Endpoint Protection Point role, i've configured the antimalware and firewall policies and i've got the update point set to download the latest definitions, but the endpoint doesn't appear to be deploying automatically, nor can i find any way of manually deploying it. Can anyone guide me on where i need to go to either kick start the automatic deployment or even a way i can manually deploy it? Additionally: No errors in any of the logs, albeit the endpoint section contains no logs whatsoever. Thanks

Now let me start by saying i know this isn't advisable but i'm considering using the RC to replace a broken 2007R3 install opposed to redoing the 2007R3 setup. My question though is as to whether anyone knows if the RC will be directly upgradable to the RTM version? Even if the site settings, packages, configuration etc can all be backed up and imported in to a 2012 RTM install when the time comes would suffice. Sadly i don't have the option of running 2012 along side at the moment to learn it so this would give me a bit of a headstart if i started now instead, understandable though that this may be impossible to answer at this time.

Hi Everyone, Only started reading these boards a few days ago when i came across the SCCM setup guide, first of all a HUUUUGE thanks to he/she/them who wrote it, the detail is fantastic. I'm a computer nut, i love servers, virtualisation, new ideas, I manage a school ICT Network and i need people to speak geek with because all my mates are still in the stoneage of xbox360s and bashing rocks together to make fire. Look forward to speaking to you all
