System: Vmware 5.5
Site server: Win 2008 R2; SCCM 2012 R2
PXE and DP: Win 2008 R2
SQL server: Win 2008 R2; SQL 2008 R2
Deployment of Win 7 OSD task sequence fails
PXE OK
WinPe attempts to load but fails
F8 shows TCP/IP OK i.e. can ping MP from command prompt
Have tried multiple variations of boot images
smsts.log shows: Failed to get information for MP: HTTP://myserver.internal
Have tried numerous MPs
One scenario works - WinPE 3.1 x64 boot image can successfully deploy a x64 bit Win 7 image (go figure)
Have spent 3 weeks trying to solve this problem
I have to confess that when this problem occured after upgrading from RTM to SP1, I then upgraded to R2.
Any expert troubleshooting tips would be gratefully accepted.
Many thanks
Raymond
Does anyone have any idea why a 64 bit deployment is OK, but 32 bit fails even though IP config is (seems) OK?
Could WinPE be attempting to contact the MP before the NIC is configured?
