  1. Howdy all! I was experiencing this exact issue during testing of our OSD in SCCM 2012. I ran through a premiere support call with MS and quite a bit of troubleshooting before determining the cause. Reference to issue in SCCM 2007 Essentially, this issue is still present in SCCM 2012. During an OSD process, the SCCM client may get "stuck" in provisioning mode. I found that my OSD would complete and the client would register correctly with one task sequence, but if the application installation order changed, the client would get stuck in provisioning (no self-signed cert). Odd that the application install would affect the "Setup windows and config manager step.... As mentioned in the blog article - checking the registry keys will identify if the client is getting stuck or if your issue is possibly caused by another factor. I have included the following at the end of my task sequences to ensure that clients will always register (or at least until the problem is fixed by other means.....*cough* SP1 *cough*) (taken from email exchange MS Engineer) Right after the "Setup Windows and ConfigMgr" step, add two "Run Command Lines" to set the registry values correctly. Here are the two commands to be run: REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CCM\CcmExec /v ProvisioningMode /t REG_SZ /d false /f REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CCM\CcmExec /v SystemTaskExcludes /t REG_SZ /d "" /f Please let me know if this helps at all....
  2. Hi Spidey, I can confirm I have observed this same behaviour - an apply updates step is run as part of an OSD sequence but the installation either hangs or does not complete. After making into the deployed Windows, Software Center shows the updates waiting to be installed. I've done some digging, but do not have a solution for you. I was surprised to see that this behaviour (specific to Windows 7 no less) was seen under SCCM 2007 also. See the following: http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2011/01/28/known-issue-install-software-updates-action-hangs-on-windows-7.aspx?PageIndex=1#comments (There are comments to the effect that the same behaviour has been observed in SCCM 2012 RTM) A hotfix was released for SCCM 2007 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2509007 Might be worth escalating to MS or TechForums possibly?
  3. Just a BUMP on this topic - I'm seeing the same behaviour with the "Initializing the System Center Configuration Manager 2012 Client" phase. Taking between 15-20 mins whilst the rest of the deployment runs as expected. Currently tracing through log files from test VM to see what might be going on. Any advice appreciated....
  4. Howdy! Sorry to dredge this thread up, but I had the same question today while working on our pre-prod SCCM 2012 environment. After some searching, I found that in order to have the option " Access content directly from a distribution point when needed by a running task sequence" you need to select the following checkbox on the Data Access tab on the properties of an OS Image: (Full credit to anyweb for his quality documentation and guidance!)
  5. After a SC2012 meeting with MS last month, they muttered about keeping an eye on MMS2012 as a possible "launch-pad". Nothing definite, just another possible....
