I am trying to deploy an windows 7 operating system image and install applications through the same task. It does the install of the operating system but wont install the apps. it just sits as in progress in config man. I can install the apps to the device collection on their own successfully but when I add them into the deploy os task it does not work. i have since checked my logs on the client and it seems like the client package is trying to install to d: which does not exist and it is getting an out of space error. Does anyone know how to remedy this?

I think I answered my own question. The issue was that when I renamed the computer I didn't set it to work group first then join it back to the domain. As soon as I did that and restarted the task showed up for me.

I have successfully captured a win7 x64 image and then redeployed it to a new machine through pxe boot. I now want to be able to deploy that same image to a existing client automatically. I created the task and assigned it to the correct collection containing my laptop but nothing ever happens. Is there something I am missing. I set it up as a required deployment with a schedule as being available at 10:00 am and expiration of 10:15 am. I assumed that it would start the task at 10:15 am. I have noticed though that when I was deploying apps and setting them as required that they don't show up for up to an hour later. Does anyone know how long after you distribute the content and deploy the app or task will it start running? How long does it take the software center to see the task that is pushed to it on the client? Thank you
