Does SCCM 2012 support .iso as Operating System Installers

[AhmedElfa]

I'm trying to deploy a Win7 by PXE as a new installation (no capturing, no wim). I've copied the content of the win7's DVD onto my distribution point, then added it on "Operating System Installers" (as a folder). I added the sources\install.wim on "Operating System Images". I made many tasks to test this but even if I used various types of configs, I have the Error code 0x80070002.

I know that I've got something wrong, my first question is " does SCCM 2012 " support .iso files directly or I must go for .wim

I'll be thankful for your answers.

I have the Error code 0x80070002

 

Where in the Task sequence process do you get this error?

directly after formatting and partitioning, once it tries to apply the image.

Hello,

Actually I'm working on VMWare ESXi 5.1. I looked in the actual forums on how to capture smsts.log (unsuccessful installation client side), it says that I can access cmd on Windows PE by taping F8 then copy the log from x:\windows\.. (easy stuff), the F8 trick didn't work.

Hi,

I found how to get the smsts.log and got the error, now my installation goes fine.
the problem was on the permissions on the folder containing the OS install.wim, I had it as Administrator of the server, I created a new user and gave it the required permissions on the folder. Everything went fine .

PS : I found this website very very helpful.
