SCCM2012 task sequence fails. Error: Failed to run task sequence (0x80004005)

[burnzdog 0]

HI all,

Recently migrated to SCCM 2012. All task sequences have been running without a problem but just today all task sequences fail promptly when choosing the task through the sccm boot option screen.

 

(0x80004005) An error occurred while resolving dependencies

 

I have recreated a new task and chose an existing image and same problem occurs. I have also readvertised the exisiting tasks but no joy.

Any advice appreciated as im still getting to grips with this new version.

can you attach the smsts.log file please from a failing client computer

Will do - Ive just been trying to find it. Is it located differently with 2012? Ive used your post but cannot find log anywhere? http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1105-sccm-logs/

Below are the locations the log file will be in depending on what stage the TS is at:

 

 

During OS Deployment

 

Before your hard drive is formatted and partitioned

X:\windows\temp\smstslog\

 

After your hard drive is partitioned formatted

X:\smstslog\ and then is in C:\_SMSTaskSequence\logs\smstslog\

 

Within Windows

Within Windows before the SCCM agent is installed:

C:\_SMSTaskSequence\logs\smstslog\

 

Within Windows after the SCCM agent installed:

C:\windows\system32\ccm\logs\smstslog\

 

When the Task Sequence completes on a x86

C:\windows\system32\ccm\logs\

 

For x64 Systems

C:\windows\SysWOW64\ccm\logs\

 

You will need to enable your boot.wim with f8 support to retrieve the log if it bombs out before apply OS stage so that you can bring up the command prompt and copy the log to a share on the network.

Any help would be appreciated.

content location request failed

 

 

verify that you've configured the network access account with the correct password, that you can ping the FQDN of the managent point and that the content it's referring to has actually been distributed to your dp's

[burnzdog 0]

Password verified. Can ping management point from client. All packages and O/S have distributed to DP's

check that package, is the second version of it really on the dp?

ESC00042.2 is in the SMSPKGSIG folder.

I have just created a new task that i just the O/S install. Heres the log

smsts.log

Anyone?

in case anyone's interested in this - failing to connect when trying run task was down to a .net 4 update.

 

We uninstalled KB2840628 and worked again....

Had the same issue and found the following article which mentioned checking the clock on the BIOS:

All OK for me now.

By adjusting the bios clock, the issue is resolved for me !

Task Sequence Failed with the Error Code 0x80004005.

I simply removed the step, "enable bit locker", and it worked.
