Hello, Recently I upgraded the sccm console/os to 2012 r2 (from 2012) and moved its database to the same server. Site/Components status are all green now and seems to be running normally. Now, I can no longer boot a computer from the network, it fails at PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout. this is what I get in SMSPXE.log: Client lookup reply: <ClientIDReply><Identification Unknown="0" ItemKey="0" ServerName=""><Machine><ClientID/><NetbiosName/></Machine></Identification></ClientIDReply> SMSPXE 9/11/2014 8:57:02 AM 4120 (0x1018) 00:50:56:8B:01:4E, 60910B42-88F3-133F-FDD5-4051870A7410: device is not in the database.

Disabling Firewall from all networks. Setting/Removing DHCP 66/67 options (DHCP is on different server in the same subnet) Checking Regkey UdpPortPolicy (its 0) Anything else to try, other than a complete rebuild? Thanks.

Hello everyone, Lately our servers started showing "No Further Action Required" notifications and list the following entry in "All detected items" every Hour and 8 minutes. I've run quick and full scans on the servers and they didn't detect anything, anyone faced this problem or know how can I resolve it?

Hello Everyone, I've been struggling with Sysprep for a few days now and I can't seem to get it to work, I hope someone might be able to help.. It seems that it ignores some of the settings in the Sysprep.inf and I can't find out why. It doesn't apply the $OEM$ files nor apply the mass storage drivers, yet the GuiUnattended and the Identification section gets applied correctly. Building image steps: - Installed windows, apps, updates and settings. - Created Drivers and Sysprep folders (with sysprep.inf in it) - Captured the image using the SCCM Capture media iso. Task sequence steps: - Boot to winpe - format - apply os image with Sysprep.inf - copy OEM files using this command (xcopy /c /e /i /g /h /r /y . C:\_SMSTaskSequence\OSD\$OEM$\) - apply windows settings - apply network settings - Setup Windows and ConfigMgr Things I tried: - Copy the $OEM$ files inside the sysprep\i386 folder instead of C:\_SMSTaskSequence\OSD\$OEM$. - Deploy the Image with and without choosing a Sysprep.inf file in the "Apply Operating System Image" step. - Made sure that the files are in the right place and checked sysprep.inf settings just before the "Setup Windows and ConfigMgr" step executed. Note that these setps works as expected if I use it to deploy XP from a Package and use an Unattend.txt file instead of Sysprep.inf. sysprep.inf file content before "Setup Windows and ConfigMgr" step: [unattended] Hibernation=No OemPreinstall=Yes UpdateInstalledDrivers=Yes NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore InstallFilesPath=C:\sysprep\i386 OEMSkipEula=Yes UnattendMode=FullUnattended DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=00000809 UserLocale=00000809 InputLocale=0809:00000809 [sysprepMassStorage] PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C4=C:\Drivers\Ref_IntelInf\ich7ide.inf PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2828=C:\Drivers\Ref_IntelInf\ich8ide.inf PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_292D=C:\Drivers\Ref_IntelInf\ich9ide.inf . . .
