I use the Lenovo Update Retriever. You select the model number eg: 10A9, name it in the repository eg: Thinkcentre M93p. Then select the OS that you want to download the drivers for. The Update retriever grabs the newest drivers for that model and OS and stores them into your repository. From there once the drivers are downloaded you extract them from the GUI to the network location that SCCM will import them from. It is a little arduous but at least it is better than having to manually DL all of the drivers individually and extract. This has saved me a ton of time with Lenovo drivers.
create Task Sequence Media Wizard fails 0x8004255c
in Configuration Manager 2012
Posted
I am trying to create a bootable USB drive to image machines that don't have network access. When I run through the "Create Task Sequence Media" wizard I receive the following error. "Media creation failed with error code -2147211940. When I look at the CreateTsMedia.log I find this:
Beginning media generation
Size of partition's is changed.
Failed to query volume for the volume id, skipping (0x80042412)
Failed to assign drive letter to the created partition(0x8004255C)
Error formatting volume G:\ (0x8004255c)
Failed to create media (0x8004255c)
CreateTsMedia failed with error 0x8004255c, details=''
MediaGenerator::~MediaGenerator()
Media creation process that was started from Admin Console completed.
CreateMedia.exe finished with error code 8004255c
I have tried this several times using different drive letters for the 64GB USB3.0 flash drive. I have also run through the process of cleaning and formatting the drive via diskpart using the steps below.
from admin CMD prompt
diskpart
select disk
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
format fs=ntfs quick
assign
exit
The Task sequence does run fine via PXE boot on the machines that I have tested on the network.
Thanks in advance,
