can't capture windows 7

[ADB]

Am I gettin it right?

 

To capture a Windows 7 do I need a Baremetal or an allready setup client to capture it?

 

I can't read the smsts.log file on a "baremetal machine"!!!

 

And spezially: has the WDS to run on the same machine like the SCCM? because my PXESetup sais:

So I'm wondering what else i can do. I read almost all the topics in this forum (in others aswell) and it's getting veeeery itchy now...

 

 

any help please?

 

 

thanks and cheeers A.

Nope, it doesn't have to... Only the PXE SErvice Point has to run on the same machine as WDS.

Hi Peter

 

thanks for your reply. Another question:

 

the PXE doesnt work, because it lacks the wds on the same machine! But I can't install the wds (add server) on another machine then the dhcp. And in the other hand I can't deploy or capture without having wds on the same machine as sccm.

 

I have startet the "WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto Discover"- service on the DHCP Machine, I have followed the suggestions from these guys and I just wonder why Microsoft (spezially Technet) isn't able to explain theyr products properly!!!

 

I'm running out of time while reading and reading... My ZTI Deployment MUST work in less than 3 Weeks (for my final presentation in the apprentis-ship).

 

this is harassing me

 

I am greatfull for any inputs. if someone has had or heard of the same problem before

 

 

thanks A.

ok you have wds on one server right ? can you install the PSP role on that server yes/no ?

Hi Niall

 

thanks for bearing a hand.

 

I've managed to solve it: The WDS is on the same server as the SCCM and Pre-requisites. anyways, I had to switch User, took the SMSadmin-account from the AD-DS, which is on the other server, to add a WDS-Server. It worked.

 

What do you mean by PSP (Play Station Portable?)?? I have IIS, WDS and WSUS on the same server...

 

Now I'm trying to create an MDT-TaskSequence (TS). MDT is Integrated of course but the Wizard for creating MDT-TS aborts all the time.

 

I'm just not sure of one thing: the reference computer has allready to be set up for a capture or does the TS take place for a Zero-Touch-Installation of Windwos 7 instead?

 

I know, should probably restart a new topic here, but for all my tiny questions???

 

thanks a lot for your guy's concernes...

Sorry, forgot the stay on the essential:

 

the PXE Service Point ist well installed in the Site System...

 

up and running!

But the thing about the "reference machine" is making me struggling through google once again
