  1. i will give it a try and let you know. the lab is in nwtraders.msft and production cant resolve the netbios names of the lab. that is why i went and added the FQDN to the xml file now and going to try that. i have to have everything here working separate from production first then i can move it to a real production. i also cant have my own DHCP so i am stuck with the prod environment for name resolution.
  2. I found it in the logfile and on the drive the settings are there: No adapters found in environment. Performing global configuration only. 4/17/2013 12:48:44 PM Writing configuration information to C:\WINDOWS\panther\unattend\unattend.xml 4/17/2013 12:48:44 PM Successfully saved configuration information to C:\WINDOWS\panther\unattend\unattend.xml 4/17/2013 12:48:44 PM Configuring "OSDNetSettings.exe finalize" to run on first boot 4/17/2013 12:48:44 PM OSDNetSettings finished: 0x00000000 4/17/2013 12:48:44 PM i have attached the unattend.xml it is using too. wondering if the netbios name might be causing the issue. we have a multiple forests here and domains. unattend.xml
  3. Other settings in the XML file is being applied, the Hide wireless option is applied because it's not prompting me for a wireless adapter. what file should i be looking at, the smst.log?
  4. is there a way other than doing a HTA front end? the Desktop people sometimes have a hard time forgetting to put in a computer name. i also, like to not add any extra items to SCCM. even though i think it be great the powers at be say now, brought it up before. the part I am having a hard time with is the fact the XML is there and its not being used.
  5. Hi i am trying to deploy Windows 8 Enterprise with 3 different types of languages. English (US), Dutch, and Slovakian. now i went and captured a single image using hyper-v brought the wim into DISM and added the 2 additional languages, using SK-SK, and NL-BE. Reference to do it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799277(WS.10).aspx now i then created 3 different XML files dutch_Win8.xml, Slovakia_Win8.XML, and English_Win8.XML. I made a package for them and added the following for Dutch using WIndows SIM on the pass 7 OOBE <SystemLocale>nl-BE</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>nl-BE</UILanguage> <InputLocale>nl-BE</InputLocale> <UserLocale>nl-BE</UserLocale> English is <SystemLocale>en-US</SystemLocale> <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage> <InputLocale>en-US</InputLocale> now when i made the task sequence I chose the "Use an unattended or sysprep answer file for a custom installation" updated and called for Dutch_Win8.xml and chose the correct package. so i go and PXE Boot and it goes well till after the setup Windows and Configuration, it pops up and says which display language would you like, English Netherlands Slovakia I have to pick one before it moves on. i thought the XML would take care of this part of the deployment so I would not have anyone having to answer questions. is there a way to fix this so it answers it and moves on automatically by way of the XML file????
  6. Hello: i was wondering if anyone has done this? i would like to update SQL from SP1 cu6 to SP2. does anyone know how to do this or the steps so i can get this updated?
  7. Love the articles, they have helped me so much. now I have been googling around for a way to add the Client install to the local admin group, through GPO instead of logging in to every machine, not much other than restricted groups or scripts. why not use another setting in the GPO? you said: "* ClientInstall, a domain user used when installing the Configuration Manager Client for Client Push. This user must be a local administrator on computers you want to install the Configuration Manager Client." how about doing like this, not sure if you want to add it as a step? it would be faster, except for DC's since they dont have a local admin group. The steps i did i used PSR.exe great tool for these walk-through. adding a local admin.zip
  8. when going through the deployment i was wondering about the CAS. now if i have a CAS and 2 primary, would i install the sccm client from one of the primaries? or just leave it without a client. i am trying to figure this out before we hit production soon.
  9. i followed the steps above and got error 1603. i have the MPsetup.log and mpmsi.log. its a brand new image win2k8 r2 sp1 machine. no patches applied as of yet. sql is on the same machine.i checked and it said before that msxml6 was not installed, i installed it separately. its a single dc and all the permissions are set. not sure if it matters but its in a forest with sccm 2007 r2. here are the logs _______ UPDATE _______ Got it to finally work, it apparently doesnt like the fact that sccm 2007 installed a client on it and when installing the MP it installs a 2012 client on it as well. i simply removed the client and reinstalled the MP. mpMSI.log MPSetup.log
  10. No i just let the old one sit there in AD, locked out, created a brand new one with a different name. then i removed the network access account from SCCM and let it sit overnight, this way i am ensured that all the clients shall recieve it. i did get this figured out took me a bit to get fixed but...........here is what happened the new account still got locked out. after searching as to why i ventured into the security logs to see and found that some computers were using the new account. i went to google and go altools and used eventcombMT and lockout status and found about 10 machines with the same issue. all using that account and some how giving bad passwords. so i reinstalled it on all of those machines and no more issues, as to why they had a bad password, or how they got it, i dont know.but at least thanks for taking the time to try and help me out with it. .
  11. Hello: i need some help to get my server back to normal. now i realize its a bit of a stretch but its true. nothing has changed that i am aware to and no one has changed anything either. 1 site, different forests all trusted. now no one can use pxe to get images or packages for task sequences, cant get updates or new policies as well as any software packages. i checked everything and it seemed normal but, then i got the error message about the network access account might be locked. when i checked it was, so i unlocked it and bam in a couple of seconds its locked again. so i made a new account and cleared the old account from the client agents. i cant seem to get the account to stay unlocked. i could use some help to keep it that way too. it just a simple domain user. i found the change to the network access account in the hman.log CPolicySource::HandleSiteControlPolicy: NetworkAccessAccount STATMSG: ID=5104 SEV=I LEV=M SOURCE="SMS Server" COMP="SMS_POLICY_PROVIDER" SYS=XXXXXXX SITE=XXX PID=2608 TID=3100 GMTDATE=Tue Jan 03 21:46:38.952 2012 ISTR0="" ISTR1="" ISTR2="" ISTR3="" ISTR4="" ISTR5="" ISTR6="" ISTR7="" ISTR8="" ISTR9="" NUMATTRS=2 AID0=405 AVAL0="{dd08dba9-5b46-4250-9b73-c87097fa72d4}" AID1=406 AVAL1="{bdfd2739-939a-4e22-b92c-4a3cc2b277fd}"
  12. so if i was serious about the deployment, should these be the settings i choose for deploying? Date released or revised > 1 day Product > "ForeFront EndPoint Protection 2010" Update Classification > Defintion updates BTW i thank you for getting me started very quickly. i have instructed all people around my organzation to your site for helpful tips and trciks, as wellas the amazing guides. any hope of getting a PDF or word doc for offline references?
  13. i get an error when i try to go to my website. as shown in the picture, I have followed the setup as in the guides and did have it working last night but today when i came in and checked it it displayed an error. i basically got XML editior 2007 to install with the pop up but when he said to "Open the Software Catalog, and refresh the page, notice anything " i got the error that you seen. now i do have the DB on a remote SQL not sure if that is why but the site role is installed on the local sccm server. i also went into the IIS manager and see the Anonymous is turned on but windows aauthentication isnt.. Any ideas that can help me out?
  14. i am trying to follow along but seem to be having some issues, so far 2 of them first is the SQL reporting point, i dont have a instance name listed. i have , hopefully, attched the 2 files for you to see. the sceond one is an ACL problem? not sure if maybe related to the other. but, the other is HTTP Error 401.3 - Unauthorized You do not have permission to view this directory or page because of the access control list (ACL) configuration or encryption settings for this resource on the Web server i am trying to learn this so we can take our current SCCM 2007 r2 to 2012 when it comes out, but i have to get all the bugs worked out.

    Task Sequences

    i dont want to have to put windows AIK on those machines just to look at a wim file.

    Task Sequences

    i am looking for a easier way that some can do graphiclly. is there another option?

    Task Sequences

    Well the idea is that Bob would not need the laptop and can have a backup of his machine if he needs something. the wim idea is great, dont get me wrong, it saves on space but cant be mounted inside of windows if a user needs a file. also, if the hardware is different, for example a HP laptop and now he gets a dell then the image wont work.

    Task Sequences

    Let me see if i can describe it better. Let us say Bob starts working for us and is given a laptop with Windows 7 and all apps. now in 6 months Bob's laptop breaks the wireless card breaks and has to send back in. now before we send it i want a task sequence that takes and makes a VHD of his machine and stores it on the network, where i specify, then i give Bob an upgraded or downgraded model to work with while his is getting fixed. i take the VHD from the network and copy it to the new laptop and it shows up as another drive so now he isnt missing anything while his is off being fixed. i how that helps explain what i want, just a task sequence where i can choose where to backup the drive, in VHD format, to a certain network area.

    Task Sequences

    Where can i find out about the items that MDT throw in a task sequence so i can build a custom one. i need one that takes the current pc and makes a VHD of it and places it on a share on the network. any help be great. i get get a wim file but it isnt the same as a VHD because i can mount that in windows for a user for when they need something from it instead of using Ghost explorer.
  20. Please keep the good work coming. also, if you have more step by step articles let me know so I can check them out and get help.
  21. i have 1 primary site, 1 mp and DB offloaded to another machine. it is fustrating but i have clients that i will install have them show up as installed and approved. it can vary froma week or more but on a Monday if i had 12 clients outstanding the week before i come back to find 30 or more. now if i rdp to the machine and do a data discovery cycle sometimes that works, and puts them back as approved. other times i have remove the client and reinstall and even then it doesnt approve them or shows up as not installed with a client. i have either turned off or set any of the delete systems or clients tasks under site maintenance to 60 days or longer. any help be great.
  22. I cant seem to get this to work correctly. it goes through and doesnt error out but when i go and check the device manager none of the drivers were installed. any ideas?
  23. Hello:i have 1 centeral site that is the sup, mp, fsp, pxe, and most of the other rolles except for the DB thats on another machine.my environment is different so here is a bit of background. i have the current server in a child domain with an empty root except for 2 DC that run DNS for everything. i have 5 other forests in which i have clients installed and reporting in. no for the issue. my poor server seems to be so slow and the cpu is working kind of hard so i wanted to give it some relief...by moving some of the roles off. i have 6 major sites and was thinking about placing a MP there in each of them with a SUP point that point back to central. now i dont want to do secondary sites, want to keep the licensing down, but i have a few old servers i can use. is this possible? can you tell me excatly what steps are needed to get this done. i have extend the schema in the domain where the sccm server but no the others, is this neccessary? i have added the sccm server to the domain admins group in the other domains, due to a DP issue, this is the only way it works. i have network access account setup and a user in each domain for installing clients. if this is possible what groups would i have to add the MP to? i can remember that there is one or two but not sure. any help be great. also we have these machines in datacenters, now 2 of them are together in a datacenter, they are DP's and come from different forests. i am wondering if having them in different forest might be causing the erro in manifest i get when downing updates to the machines. i am trying to make this alot more simpler. so please any advice short of installing secondary sites is greatly appreciated. the reason for that is management doesnt want to have extra cost. would an MP in each of the 6 sites help? i have attached my quick overview of what we have an open to suggestion, but i doubt it will change. i have another Visio drawing for the sites as well. if you would like to see that quick drawing let me know. Each triangle is a seperate forest
  24. another interesting question: if i turn off the sup agent no the site point, and tell certain ones to use this, will this work or no? i dont want everything to use this, but cant have them come away from wsus right now either.
