[Create TS Media Fails]

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

[Delete Device Collection from SQL]

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'

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?

Check the path in your task sequence step that executes ZTIExecuteRunbook.wsf, seems to be looking for it in the wrong place.

 

Are you running "Use Microsoft Deployment Toolkit Package" before executing the script?

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

[Running Task Sequence to execute a Runbook]

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.

[SCCM 2012 Console over VPN]

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.

By creating a new Application, selecting Manual specify the application information and following the wizard you can create an Application (and Deployment Type) for an executable.
