Hi, I need to run a setup program at the end of OSD cycle (when administrator logs in the next time). I've setup a vbs to create the necessary entries in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx. If I run the OSD task via network deployment, it all works fine. Registry was created and the setup was executed during next sign in. The same task sequence is then exported to USB media. However, the OSD task failed to write to the registry if I perform deployment via USB media. I've re-confirmed by adding a simple "reg export" to the end of the batch script. In network deployment, I can see the registries created properly, but in USB deployment the system only created the key but no value. This is the same whether if I run the task using "Install Software" method or Run Command line method. Any help will be greatly appreciated as this has been holding me back from deploying machines for the past 2 weeks and I've googled all that I could google. Thanks and Regards James

Hi, in a workgroup environment, do you need to configure any specific network access account in order for this to work?

Hi Peter, Appreciate the feedback. Thanks

Peter, thx for the quick reply. I don't presume it is a simple matter of "uninstall the sccm", "reinstall sccm", "all the workstations will automatically re=appear assigned and approved"?

Dear all, I am getting a strange issue with the sccm. The Status Message Queries always return 0 row. Been googling the past hours and cannot find anything concrete that identify the problem. Here's some background: During the first setup (SCCM 2007 R1), everything works fine. However, inthe past few weeks, 2 things happened. 1. I upgraded the installation to R2. 2. The server changes from domain A to domain B (due to site re-architecture). Not sure if the above is causing the "Status Message Queries" screen to return blank. Any pointer is appreciated. James
