I've been having some problems with the 974571 hotfix (KB977203). It installed on the server but it fails to install on the clients. My solution was to try and send a task sequence to the client that first runs a command line command that uninstalls the 974571 update but represses the reboot, next step, the TS reboots the machine back into installed operating system. However, after the reboot, the task sequence does not continue and does not capture state. I had to create another TS with request, capture and release and that successfully captures the state after the reboot. I would love to get the hotfix installed but it fails on all clients. Second, I'd like to know if there is a way to get the tasksequence to restart the machine and then continue from the next step. Any one have a solution for this? Thanks

How can I make sure that the boot media certificate is up-to-date? I found this thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/configmgrosd/thread/cf472212-824a-4948-a0e0-74be534ab6c6 and I restarted the 'WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery' Service and it hasn't restarted yet. I'll see if it actually restores the state this time In progress right now.

Thank you! I have a big suspicion that it is due to the hotfix applied to the SCCM server. Last time I said I uninstalled the hotfix but after that after updating the distribution points and advertising the TS again, I was able to get it to work and it installed a machine (but failed at state restore). Then I re-applied the hotfix and now it is back to rebooting. Here is my smsts.log file from X:\windows\temp\smstslog\ Could it be due to a certificate problem?

Hello, I have SCCM SP2 R2. I had windows operating system deployment working perfectly. Then I decided to test a refresh, and replace using USMT 3 and state transfer. When I did that I got a request state error so I installed the hotfix SCCM2007_SP2_KB977203_X86_ENU on the client and the SCCM server. Now I don't know if this is a coincidence, but after that when I try to deploy a windows XP image that used to work just fine, this is what happens: 1) Boot from PXE 2) Loaded Windows PE with the SCCM 2007 logo in the back 3) Window says something like Starting Windows 4) It barely shows something about starting network 5) Reboot I googled and there were suggestions to add device drivers to the boot image. I added all the device drivers 32 and 64 bit network drivers to the boot image and updated the distribution point but I still have the same problem. I recreated the boot image but same thing. I uninstalled the hotfix from the server, but I still have the reboot problem. Does any one have any suggestions about this? Thank you.

Thanks for the response! I installed windows XP on the same machine and then used NetSpeed (tool from http://www.optimumx.com/). I ran NetSpeed in server mode on the windows XP box, and I sent it a stream of 1000MB from the SCCM server. When the windows XP box was sent to Auto/Auto, I got 2Mbps, but when I set the windows XP box to 100/Full I got 80Mbps.

Hello, When I try to deploy an OS to a Dell Dimension 3000 using SCCM 2007, the network autodetect does not seem to work and I end up downloading the .wim file at 2Mbps. I tested this on a machine and if the network card settings are set to autodetect, I get speeds of 2Mbps, but when set to 100Full I get around 80Mbps. Is there a way to tell WinPE to set the network duplex speed to 100 Full at the beginning of the PXE install? Thanks
