Hi, We have a new server with all new devices which was imported using a file (start from fresh cos the old world was way off in accuracy). I'm trying to do OSD deployments but they are failing (basically thinks it has no job to do) when I check for devices with that mac address I now have two entries one is imported manually and the other "heartbeat discovery". Why don't the two records merge into one? And how can I reverse this process so I can do my deployments? Also the heartbeat discovery entry has the client type as "Computer" and client as "yes" where as the manual entry one does not. Should I be removing the manual entry one and keeping the heartbeat discovery one? I removed the manually entered entry and it works fine but should I be removing the manual one or the HB discovered one? What is best practice? Regards Peter

OSD Fails when installing the first package/application
P.Keen replied to P.Keen's topic in Configuration Manager 2012
How do you mean? Sorry I'm easily confused, SCCM isn't my forte Currently I just setup two collections one for X laptops and one for Y laptops , with two different TS. -
OSD Deployment x 2 on one collection?
P.Keen replied to P.Keen's topic in Configuration Manager 2012
Yeah kind of but I don't want it to be hidden from anything else apart from SCCM client when in windows. I need it available to PXE etc. -
Hi, I have 4 laptop models and two TS to reimage/build the laptops we have. We have one collection however, so when one laptop builds and logs in SCCM client picks up that it has one OSD ts (the one that is not for that model) to run and says "lets do it now" kind of thing. How do I hide OSD deployments from the SCCM client? I only want it to show "success" for the one TS that was triggered. Is the only way to do this, to have two collections? TS are both "available". Regards P.Keen

How do I hide the TS from laptops, I have one collection with all laptops in it, and I have two TS advertised to that collection. All as "available" but the laptop sccm client sees both TS, how do I hide the second one from being seen? -

I think I have it sorted out now. Drivers are before the SCCM client, basically left it how it wanted it when I created new TS. -

Do drivers need to be "distributed" before being able to be installed? I know SCCM doesn't package drivers and just links the driver to the source files (IE don't delete your driver source files when importing drivers). -

Failed at installing driver package. I will retry but ticking all my driver packages that have laptop drivers in it. Hopefully I can get this bloody thing working today. -

Tried it again, got the "downloading" phase for the first package and I pulled up command prompt and still no network. How do I get my network card to install correctly? Any ideas? I created Driver packages for each model earlier I will just select "install this package" for my model and see if it gets us through. Then if that works I will combine all laptop driver packages into one package and install that just to get us by until I have some downtime to resolve this issue. Fingers crossed this works, the manufacturer said that all network cards for our laptops use the same driver so it may work. Question relating to drivers I know when you select "install driver package" it actually installs the drivers in the OS so that they can be used later on etc, and will blow out the image size potentially. Would it be safe to delete and duplication drivers from the "all laptop driver package" that are the same version? Will SCCM install the same driver twice? and there fore waste HDD space? -

I'm at work now, I have specified the "Enable the account and specify the local admin password" and can log in using those details. So I will try and find smsts.log. I have noticed that two devices aren't installed "Ethernet Controller" and "H3521gw" guessing my problem is the same as Rocket Man. What would be the best solution I have been told that all our laptops use the same network driver which is added to SCCM fine , well says it has. So the best solution would be to Add all the drivers needed into the one package and have that package install, instead of "apply device drivers", WAIT - I just looked and for some reason it was only looking in certain categories, One of those catagories that wasn't ticked contains the network drivers :S , retrying now. -

I knew someone would ask Correct client machine, The password is set in the .wim but the expiry is also set and there fore expires. It is fixed by a vb script but obviously isn't applying because packages arent running. How do I confirm if its a driver issue? F8 isn't enabled because I'm not booting into winpe but the OS. Correct it doesn't join the domain either.(I will check though) -

Which log and where would it be saved? I will supply a shot of the TS tomorrow. -
Hi, Firstly "anyweb" you have been a unbelievable help with me and my sccm journey, honestly you have no idea how much your blogs and articles have helped me!! So a massive Thank you! You should set up paypal donation account SERIOUSLY!!! We are moving into SCCM 2012 and well our SCCM 2007 environment wasn't built correctly and was very unreliable. So we were almost forced to move to 2012 it has been different but exciting, where some things are in SCCM 2012 defiantly makes more sense than in 2007. Anyways I have moved my custom built .wim file accross and imported all my packages manually (didn't trust the old config and starting fresh will be good) all have distributed fine. Wim applies fine (didn't originally because we didn't have network drives in our winpe image, that was fun trying to get that to happen I got the famous "couldn't inject drivers OSD binaries etc etc" got past that eventually. Got another error about applying the .wim think this was related to not having our NAA set which we do now. Now I'm at the stage where config manager client installs and restarts all fine however when it says "downloading package" it fails with 0x80070002 from memory (not at work at the moment) I could not find smsts.log in c:\windows\system32\ccm or C:\windows\temp. I was hoping to be able to set the TS to run from distribution point instead of downloading so I followed this thread http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/5414-packages-downloading-during-osd-instead-of-running-from-server/ and recreated my config manager client using create from definition and set my TS to use that package instead. I also set each package to "copy the content in this package to a package share" and left the custom name unconfigured. Then I left work so didn't get to see the result, I searched for logs but couldn't find what I needed. Anywhere else I should look? Also to complicate things I cannot login to the system even though I should technically be able to, please don't ask me why I have set the NAA in the permissions of our "PKGSource$" as well as "domains machines". I can supply more details and logs when I return to work tomorrow. Regards Pete

I really hope you guys can help me out. We have moved from 2007 to sccm 2012 and are struggling to get it up and running in time. We have tight deadlines Anyways our PXE is fine we pick up the TS , our .wim (custom) works fine. It gets to installing the configuration manager client, restarts then when it tries to install our packages it fails at "downloading" stage. What logs can I read to find out what is going on? No smsts can be found or smsexec. We have NAA account configured also. Software is successful in distributing to our local point. I was hoping we could set it to "run from" instead of download just to get us by for now. I have set all our packages as "copy the content in this package to a package share on distr point" but havent let it filter through. I will let it do that overnight. I have also rebuilt the client package from definition and just now distributed it.
