SCCM error 80004005 - no BiOS issue - driving me crazy!

[blind3d]

Hey guys,

 

I hope that you can help me out. Here is my situation:

 

-Using SCCM 2012 R1

-Usually deploying Windows 7 to Lenovo and Acer PCs - works perfect

-Got new industrial PCs by MSI now (Windbox II) - that had no UUID which I fixed with AMIDMI.exe /u etc.

-Task sequence starts like this:

 

 

-Step 2&3 check wether it's UEFI or not and partitions the disk

-Step 4 executes a script to allow me to give the machine a hostname

-This task sequence is used (in modified versions) for different PCs with different images and works for all of them

 

The issue:

 

As soon as I start the TS for the Windboxes, step 3 is chosen and completed succesfully (BIOS) but step 4 is ignored with the following error as logged in SMSTS.log:

 

 

What makes me wonder is the following message and I don't know if it is normal (CRL=false):

 

 

 

During Step3

 

 

Step 4

 

 

The most confusing thing about all that errors is, that 1 out of 15 attempts suddenly works and if you reboot the deployment fails again :-/ it doesn't even matter if I chose IDE or SATA in BiOS

I also tried a different HDD that works in our Lenovo devices btw. Log is attached as well (replaced the real name with fictional ).

So when the TS starts to apply the OS it fails with 80004005 error.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

PS: Please move my post to this subforum: Configuration Manager 2012

 

Thnks.

Hi again,

 

I think the issue is solved, but it doesn't really make sense to me, cuz it is incredibly stupid.. I tested the "workaround" 5 times now..

As we all know you're prompted to strike F12 for SCCM PE boot.

To avoid missing this step I hit F12 repeatedly which caused the TS to fail!!

If I only strike F12 when prompted the TS works properly..

If there is anyone out there who is able to explain this, just lemme know..

Maybe a secret AMI Bios command like in this case?
