anyweb Posted May 11, 2012 Report post Posted May 11, 2012 good stuff, so for everyone else i'll explain the solution, create a Configmgr client Package (from definition) and use that package for the setup windows and configmgr step and not the built in one, otherwise you cannot change from 'download' to 'access' cheers niall Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.Keen Posted October 22, 2012 Report post Posted October 22, 2012 I really hope you guys can help me out. We have moved from 2007 to sccm 2012 and are struggling to get it up and running in time. We have tight deadlines Anyways our PXE is fine we pick up the TS , our .wim (custom) works fine. It gets to installing the configuration manager client, restarts then when it tries to install our packages it fails at "downloading" stage. What logs can I read to find out what is going on? No smsts can be found or smsexec. We have NAA account configured also. Software is successful in distributing to our local point. I was hoping we could set it to "run from" instead of download just to get us by for now. I have set all our packages as "copy the content in this package to a package share on distr point" but havent let it filter through. I will let it do that overnight. I have also rebuilt the client package from definition and just now distributed it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted October 22, 2012 Report post Posted October 22, 2012 the smsts.log file is the one we need, it would be a good idea to raise a new topic about your problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grubsy Posted July 12, 2016 Report post Posted July 12, 2016 good stuff, so for everyone else i'll explain the solution, create a Configmgr client Package (from definition) and use that package for the setup windows and configmgr step and not the built in one, otherwise you cannot change from 'download' to 'access' cheers niall Old thread I know has something changed with this with the 1602 version? When I select Create Package from Definition I only see an older 'Configuration Manager Client Upgrade' option available. I also noticed my 'Configuration Manager Client Package' & 'Configuration Manager Client Piloting Package' both contain no programs I'm having the issue where I don't have the option to select "Access content directly from a distribution point when needed by the running task sequence" & the ConfigMgr client package is the only thing I can think of Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
