Task Sequence Fails on USMT package

[Vini]

Our SCCM environment seems to be catching falling ill... DP/Site after DP/Site are failing to deploy our usually fine task sequence. We started with one site, and now we have 5 of 40 seeing this problem.

 

This is not our video, but the issue is almost identical. The TS bombs out almost immediately.

 

 

In our example, the package reported is P0100001, which is our first/default package, and in our instance is the USMT tools created by the ADK (User State Migration Tools for Windows 8.1). This package is configured to serve source files from <Directory on site server>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\User State Migration Tool.

 

The sites that are failing DO have Computer Accounts defined in the MP permissions (RemoteDPServer$).

 

I am not entirely sure where to begin in troubleshooting this. We're focussing on a single site to troubleshoot, believing that it'll either be a golden bullet fix, or a fix we can replicate on those DPs with this issue.

 

So far, we've rebuilt the DP. We've disabled the USMT step in the TS and I'm currently repackaging and redistributing a copy of the USMT package to serve from an SMB share.

 

Any thoughts?

Ok, part of my testing, I just created a simple Deploy Image TS, and it's still failing immediately. But on a different package.

 

It's like it might not be able to communicate with the DP perhaps? (Although it's booting to it!)

I've since identified that the Boundary did not have a site server assigned - oops!

 

Since assigning a site server, the error is now 80004005... again this occurs immediately?

can you post your logs

[ZeZe]

One or more packages are missing in your DP for the TS that you are running. Can you publish the logs? and can you open the CM console, open the task sequences, select that TS, check the reference TAB and make sure you see 100% for each package/content that you are using in that TS, otherwise it will fail at this stage.
