We have several DPs on different places. These DPs are used to do OSD too. Is there a report that tells me that all packages from a specific TS are synchronised on a specific DP? I was thinking of a report that gives a fill in box where you put the name of the task sequence -> it gives you all DP names where you can click on which you want -> gives the packages from that task sequence and if it's installed yes or no.

Hi, We have the Office 2010 MUI version and are willing to enable multiple keyboard layouts. In my TS I've already got; OSDInputLocale: FR-FR OSDSystemLocale: EN-GB OSDUILanguage: EN-GB OSDUserLocale: FR-FR So in my layouts I've got, English (United States) and French (France). We want to add German (Germany) but how to do this when I've already got all variables filled in?

Are you selecting MS updates too in the Update Retriever because these updates cannot be used as they need manual input. I remember that I had a driver issue, I think it was Intel Pro nic drivers that rebooted the computer when the TS was still running.

I'm trying to run a batch file from within a package during a TS OSD. Command Line: "%~dp0scripts\delete_icons.bat" Package: [scripts]-Production In the error log (smsts.log) I see a "The system cannot find the file specified. (Error: 80070002; Source: Windows) What is wrong?

Ok, found what it was. Set in wsus that the download of files can be done without approval and set the group of servers and users with rights in Wsus administrators group. Everything went good after that. I did almost every possible way to find the solution from looking in IIs logs, sccm logs, wsus logs, proxy settings, ...

We wanted to update scup to 2011 version but saw that it won't work on Win2k3 R2 so we crashed the machine to build a new one with the same name and ip address. Wsus was also installed on that server. We migrated the susdb and scupdb from SQL 2005 to SQL 2008 x64 and everything went fine. Joined the domain, added group of all sccm servers to local admin group, installed .net 4, bits, webdav, IIS, sup role in sccm console,... Now when I do synchronisation no update is showed up in the console. I use a proxy and it's set in the software update point component. The only difference I see is that before the reinstall of the server the disks were C:\Windows and E:\WSUS data and now it's C:\Windows and D:\WSUS data. Could it be something?

Damn, I thought there would be an easy query or report to launch to have this info. Thanks for the info ;-)

I would like to make a collection of computers that have executed successfully a task sequence. Is this possible?

Is there a possibility to see if a machine is installed by SCCM? Based on a file or folder? Or the install date? On some computers there is no C:\Windows\System32\CCM\Logs\smsts.log file... We want to know which machines have been installed manually with the dvd.

In the examples above in the vbs as in the reg you use "HKEY_USERS\DU" and "HKEY_USERS\CustomizeDefaultUserProfile" but is it just a random name because I don't have this?

Is there any possibility to make a report or just run one that could say if a deployment succeeded or not. I'm asking because a client wants to know if the 100 machines he staged have installed correctly every application.

I just discovered HyperV to create my images. Before that I used Vmware... I'm facing the problem that I cannot boot on the network if the virtual machine has already been installed. I cannot access the bios of the HyperV machine and changed the order of boot in HyperV settings to first Legacy NIC, CD, Floppy, HD.

Does someone ever deployed a windows VPN (dial-up) connection in his task sequence? I'm trying to but it doesn't work for some reason. |=======| |1st try| |=======| I ran a file, "copy_vpn.bat" as 'Run command line' with a package name and timeout on 15min @echo off md "%AllUsersProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk" xcopy.exe "%~dp0rasphone.pbk" "%AllUsersProfile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk" /r /y |=======| |2nd try| |=======| STEP: Create directory ---------------------- Run command line Command line: cmd.exe /c mkdir "c:\users\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk" Start in: C:\Windows\system32 STEP: Copy PBK file ------------------- Run command line Command line: cmd.exe /c xcopy %~dp0rasphone.pbk" "c:\users\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\*.*" /r /y Start in: C:\Windows\system32 Package: Scripts_package Time-out: 15min

We want to deploy a script or something else so that users can logon onto the domain when they're at home through dial-up connection. When I make a new connection I can see that I can choose "Allow other people to use this connection" but for already created VPN connections this option cannot be set anymore. How can I create silently a windows VPN connection?

Hi Anyweb, we have smsboot\x86\wdsnbp.com instead of your \boot\x86\wdsnbp.com, normal?

If it's a local administrator user, where can I set the password?

Yes, I find out that a need another machine with Win2008 and at home I only have 1 computer so it will wait monday :-) I only have vmware workstation and at work we have Vmware ESX and Workstation but as Anyweb said it needs drivers so I prefer not to have driver problems afterwards when deploying my golden image...

Thanks Anyweb for this explanation but can you indicate how to set up the hyperV story? A w2k8 server or just a w7?

For now we are making fat images per type model with the MS build and capture method. This is a bit heavy on hard disk space. We have, until now, had 2 problems with that method. We have computer installs where the client site status is 'Unknown' so computers aren't giving any info back to servers. The second is that some computer aren't taking the correct drivers anymore. Therefore I'm looking for a more universal method and came up on some interesting ideas from technet forum. Installing Win7 on a vmware virtual image, configure it like it should, no client agent installed and capture it offline with imagex. (don't know if the vmware tools must be installed) This way I'll have a plain and simple lightweight golden image. Is there someone who is doing this already and can tell me the advantages or disadvantages for him? I'm curious

Ok, one of my team found a workaround. I'll see this

We need to delete the user profiles on installed Win7 machines. Does someone know if that can be deployed to those machines to do it on an automatic way. I could also do it manually on each computer but that will take a whole week.

Thanks, will help me :-)

Yes I know where the reports are but I don't know which one will give me correct results I have through reporting services some reports

I have some machines that are assigned from a secondary server and have installed w7 but how to create or view a report that states all machines installed or failed in the past?

Right before capturing the image of a Win7 install, what can be deleted? I found an article but for XP and also for creation of thin clients http://uebelackers.wordpress.com/2010/10/05/hp-t5720-setup-with-sccm-2007/
