Good morning all. I'm currently disitributing an SCCM site server to a branch office I've got limited access to. Never had to do a setup like that but I'm sure you've got helpful suggestions :-) In that office the switches are not supporting an IP helper address. Also the DHCP server (in that case some device like a home router) has no possibilities to set DHCP options 66/67. I don't like the way of using a full task sequence media containing the whole content. My Win 10 TS is currently up to 65 GB. So updating that stick was always a pain in the past... So the question is if there is a way to tell the client the PXE server it should connect to. From client side of course. Maybe with a bootable USB media or similar? Sites and Services are configured correct. For some reason the broadcast doesn't find the server :-/ Any suggestions here? Thanks for your time and help, Oliver

Oh no thats embarassing. Please ignore my post, found the issue myself. If anyone else has the same issue and also already tried things like me please have a look into your Partition step for the device. Because all our current devices ran in legacy mode I forgot to put in the UEFI partition part. You can, if you don't need any specials, simply use the default setup of the basic SCCM task sequence regarding UEFI. Best, Oliver

Dear all. I received some Surface Pro 4 devices from MS and stucking to deploy Windows 10 to them. My setup is: Config Mgr 2012 R2 SP1 CU3 Surface Pro 4 i7, 16 GB, 128 SSD Windows 10 Enterprise x64 ENG Build 1511 Deployment through PXE x64 Boot image updated to ADK 10 At the end of step "Apply Operating System" -> "Applying image..." it stops with error 80004005. The same Task sequence is running well on Dell XPS 13 machines and Hyper-V Gen1. So when I received that error on my Windows 7 machines it was always related to a wrong time configuration. So I already added anyweb's tweek to fetch the current NTP settings in prestage mode as described here: https://www.windows-noob.com/forums/topic/11016-how-can-i-sync-the-bios-date-in-winpe-to-avoid-pxe-boot-failure-with-system-center-2012-r2-configuration-manager/#entry41925 I'm out of ideas here and any help would be appreciated. Things I checked: SMSTS.log -> Please see attached Task sequence screenshots -> Please see screenshots attached Time while error appears -> I'm from Germany, the Win 10 image is ENG. Date is correct, time is one hour past. I think this is because of the English Windows? Unattended.xml -> Please see attached Option 66/67 -> Not configured, doing all with IP helper Diskpart -> Disk 0 is online with full 128GB So I think this is somehow related to the Surface. It must be related to them because my other devices are working :-) But I've no idea why... Thanks for any ideas and best regards, Oliver smsts.log Win10-Duisburg2016.xml

Dear all, I'm currently thinking about how to manage Microsoft updates on a remote site without SCCM site server. Usually I'm deploying all MS patches on remote sites with local distribution points. But we have 4 sites with just a few clients where it makes no sense to deploy a distribution point. The bandwidth to other sites is also too slow to deploy patches to local clients from another site. Is there any chance to get the client updates managed from another site with SCCM deployments but downloaded online from Microsoft? Thanks for all tips and best regards, olley
