anyone getting pxe-e16: no offer received for uefi client computers?

start pxe over ipv4

station ip address is xxx.xxx.xxx.xx

pxe-e16: no offer received

start pxe over ipv6

using same computer and change to bootmode to legacy but it has no problem boot to pxe.

dhcp is distributed by router with ip helper-address [ip address of sccm dp]. wds service is installed is sccm dp.

both router, sccm dp, pxe boot client are in the same network segement.

tried below 2 methods but it doesn't help.

1. disable NetBIOS over tcp/ip

2. reinstall wds to standalone mode

I have done a lot of searching on this issue and I have seen a lot of similar posts but most of what I have come across contains the specific section the specialize pass fails on (i.e. Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup) and the error log points directly to a particular setting in the answer file.  I am not seeing the same type of information.

Let me provide some background.  I'm deploying images for my organization via WDS with answer files generated with WSIM.  My problem pertains to my Windows 10 image.  About every 3 months I revisit the image to apply Windows updates and install software as needed.  My process goes as such, I have installed W10 on a Hyper-V VM and from there I make the necessary changes, sysprep and pull it up to WDS via a capture image.  The image was created in March 2016 and I refreshed it in June and September without any issues.  This time everything continued to work correctly until after WDS installs the image and the system reboots, the install fails with "Windows could not apply unattend settings during pass [specialize]."

The image is W10 Pro x64.  The only changes to the image/answer file from the previous refresh are as follows.

-C++ installed (2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, vNext) - Requested in the image from the systems admin
-A handful of Windows security updates
-only change to the answer file is a different initial admin password which is in the OOBE pass.

Everything else remains the same from the image and answer file as it was in September. 

I'm attaching the specialize portion of my answer file and the unattend section of the setupact log.  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.  If this is posted in an incorrect location or the solution to my particular problem exists in another thread I apologize.  I do want to re-iterate though that I have searched through quite a few forums with very similar issues but without the log information I am seeing or more specific information to particular answer file settings.

I have tried the following.

-I have used the new answer file with the September image, no issues.  
-I have used the old answer file with the new image, same issue with the specialize pass.
-I tried changing and removing the DisableAntiSpyware setting as that is the only thing I saw in the logs that is mentioned the answer file.
-I tried changing and removing CopyProfile since that seems to have been a problem source for others.
-I reverted my VM several times and made sure to only install C++ and Windows updates with no other changes.
-I checked all the settings from the specialize pass that I could to make sure they weren't already set like they are in answer file.

 It would seem that something else has changed in the image that I am not aware of but I'll be darned if I know what that might be.

We have a bunch of branch offices we want to configure and setup windows deployment services on windows server 2008r2/2012.

We only want to have to create 1 image at head office and add drivers/windows updates to that image. Once that is completed we would replicate it using DFSR to all other branch offices. If we add the device drivers to the boot image and replicate the boot  folder and the images folder (where all images we have are located) to all other WDS servers, if we update the images or add new device drivers in the future to those boot files, will DFSR replicate those changes to the branch office WDS servers as well saving us from doing this process multiple times?

Would MDT 2016 perform this process for us as well?

Server : Windows Server 2008 (Standard) Service pack 2

All website running before on Framework 3.5 was stopped working and was giving error :

Error Code : 0x80070032
Config Error : The configuration section 'appSettings' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration

So I tried to repair & re-install framework 3.5 but it was giving error while repairing or re-installing. Even it was not allow to uninstall it. So uninstalled it by using Clean-up utility given on this link -http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/08/28/8904493.aspx Now there is no framework 3.5 on server but it is not allowing to install it. Just gives message "Setup Error", no more detail and leaves success message in Event Viewer

Product: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 -- Installation completed successfully.

Other message in event viewer is

Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. Product Version: 3.5.30729. Product Language: 0. Installation success or error status: 0.

Is there any solution to install it?

Hi,

Is it somehow possible to use Mak Labkeys with MDT for the clients? I dont want to use real life keys in MDT for testing purposes and Mak Labkeys are the only keys for testing purposes i have. Because i dont know how often one of those keys can be used, i woul like to use all of my testquest random for clients.

Many thanks for the feedback. 

Is it possible to use our own SQL database for MDT Monitoring ?

Is it possible to add new columns in MDT monitoring ? How to add new columns in MDT Monitoring ?

I use wds to load windows 7 images onto our Dell PCs. I am able to do this successfully.

We recently purchased Dell OptiPlex 3040 that came with Windows10. I am not able to connect to the deployment share with these PCs. I do not know if this is a windows10 issue, or an OptiPlex 3040 issue. The following is the message I receive when I attempt to image the PC:

A connection to the deployment share (\\server\deploymentshare$) could not be made. The following networking device did not have a driver installed. PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&SUBSYS_06BB1028&REV_15.

I've updated drivers on the OptiPlex 3040. I've updated drivers on the server. I imported dells cab drivers to my deployment workbench, updated the deployment share, and replaced the boot image. I've done all of these steps many times over.

I just am not able to make a connection to the deployment share with this PC (or other identical PCs) but I am able to successfully image older dell OptiPlex models with Windows7 currently on them.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi am working on a new Windows Server 2016 acting as a Domain Controller. I would like to deploy Quick Access 'pins' via Group Policy show that network shares are automatically applied to around 100+ users.

***We are not using drive mappings in this instance and Quick Access pins must be used***

I have been trying to add a 'shortcut' in user policy but can not seem to find a way to get the shortcut to appear in the Quick Access.

Am I missing something or is this not doable?

I downloaded our volume license iso of windows 7 from Microsoft then extracted it using 7 zip. In MDT, created a new windows 7 capture under operating system. Next I created a task sequence. When I go to update the MDT 2013 deployment share I get error below. The windows 7 version was 64 bit.

Server is fully patched and is running Microsoft Server 2012 R2.  Can you advise what I can do to get around this error below so I can start to evaluate MDT.

=== Making sure the deployment share has the latest x86 tools ===

=== Processing LiteTouchPE (x86) boot image ===

Building requested boot image profile.

We are trying to attempt to fix a Windows 2008 start up problem. We boot the machine from a Windows 2008 CD and go to the repair tool - command prompt.

When we do the command sfc /scannow, we are getting

"Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service"

We did some researches there someone suggested the trustedinstaller is not running so we tried to do a net start trustedinstaller.

But We are getting

"The windows modulers instaler service is starting
The windows modulers instaler service is starting could not be started

A system error has occured
System error 1067 has occured
The process terminated unexpectedly. "

Anyone can give us an idea to see why we can not run the sfc the first place. Thanks
