[using SCCM 2012 in a LAB - Part 7. Build and Capture Windows 7 X64]

Hi All, i've been trying to fix this problem by reading all the comments, unfortunately unsuccesfuld,

my clients appear in the all systems list but not in the Build and Capture windows 7 X64 collection, i only see them in the Membership rules (i tried creating a vm just in case)

 

I'm stuck on the PXE boot, i've read different comments, and tried most of the solutions, without any luck.

 

my clients don't really catch anything, i can just see the DHCP searching after a while i get PXE-E53: No boot filename received.

 

i've also noticed that my WDS in not configured

 

i'be been stuck here for a few days, would really appreciate som help

 

I had the PXE-E53 error when using VMware Workstation where the machines were configured to use the NAT network in VMware Virtual Network Editor. Problem for me is that I had turned DHCP off in the NAT network. Turning this back on fixed the problem and clients could PXE boot.

Where can i find the smsts.log file? I do not see it with the Configuration Manager log files.

 

I turned on the pxe password, and it will give me the task sequence wizard.

 

But I'm getting this error:

 

For anyone else having the Failed to Run Task Sequence with 0x80004005 where you are using the NAT Virtual Network in VMware Workstation - make sure in the Virtual Network Editor you configure the DNS server to that of your Active Directory DC / DNS server so it can resolve you internal domain name (i.e. testlab.local) when trying to find your SCCM server distribution point by FQDN (i.e. sccm.testlab.local).

 

This was driving me nuts for ages since I followed the guide correctly. It was only when investigating smsts.log I noticed the DNS issue also like others have mentioned.
