I am trying to create boot media and every time I try it fails stating. "Media Creation failed with error message: 'A required privilege is not held by the client' I have disabled UAC, added my account and the server account to "Manage auditing and security logs" via GPO, ran-as admin and I am scratching my head at this point. Attached are my CreateTsMedia logs and a screenshot of the error. CreateTsMedia.log

I have about 20 device collections that won't delete. It promts with a SQL error stating "Collection Cannot be deleted becuase it is refrenced by another collection" SQLseverity: = 15 SQLStatus: = 5000 StatusCode: = 2147749889 But inside the CM console i have looked through all my collections and they are not refrenced. I am looking for a SQL statement to go into the DB and delete them that way, I would assume it would be similar to deleteing a package (see below) Delete from ContentDPMap where ContentID='CAS00242' Delete from DistributionStatus where PkgID='CAS00242' Delete from CI_ContentPackages where PkgID='CAS00242' Delete from PkgAccess where PkgID='CAS00242' Delete from SMSPackages_G where PkgID='CAS00242' Delete from SMSPackages_L where PkgID='CAS00242' Delete from PkgPrograms_G where PkgID='CAS00242' Delete from PkgPrograms_G where PkgID='CAS00242' Delete from PkgServers_G where PkgID='CAS00242' Delete from PkgServers_L where PkgID='CAS00242' Delete from PkgStatus_G where ID='CAS00242' Delete from PkgStatus_L where ID='CAS00242' Delete from PkgStatusHist where PkgID='CAS00242' Delete from PkgNotification where PkgID='CAS00242' Thank You

Install VMware Tools on Windows 2008 and copy the entire contents of the C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMware\Drivers\vmxnet, pvscsi and vmxnet3 folders to your CAS and import these drivers and then add them to your boot image.

In our live production environment I have deleted some device collections that had active application, package and Task Sequence deployments. After I deleted these device collections it triggered a re-replication of all content. The logs show my account deleting the collections from the CAS but for all the packages and applications the logs say I "modified the package properties of a package named" XYZ. but in the logs it says I performed these actions from a "Unknown Machine". Any body else seen this or experience this before?

Ok I added the MDT package and It moved further along. I get the error 0x00002A31 at first then when I close it I get the same error 0x4005 (16389) Thanks for the help, I will keep digging into this.

No I am not running the MDT package. Should I run the MDT package 1st? I am new to incorporating the runbooks into a TS

I am having issues with a Task Sequence executing a runbook, I have created a Task Sequence with 1 step to "execute runbook" and I get error 0x4005(16389). the runbook kicks off a series of task to prep the machine for a MIP to windows 7. Does the machine I am running the TS from need permissions to execute runbooks in Orch or a system account? I have attached the smsts logs and 2 screen shots of the errors. smsts.log

If you have a known list if your Laptops and Desktops you can build one collection to target the System models for laptops. I will attach my query tomorrow and show you how I make those queries. .

I need to know if it is possible to connect to the CM server with the CM Console through VPN. I currently have a Windows 7 Desktop that I use to VPN in the network to manage the SCCM server by RDP. But if I install the CM console on the Windows 7 box I can’t connect to the site. I can only connect if I RDP to the server. I even added the IP's and the FQDN in the host file on the Windows 7 machines. Not sure if it is even possible. Garrett
