0

Hi,

I have a issue with creating an unattend.xml file . All works except for adding dns to the sysprep image....

meaning that there is no errors when deploying BUT the DNS entry is just not added for some reason.

I have looked at Microsoft Docks but i think i'm missing something....... where i'm i going wrong.?

in advance thanks!

WinRe vs WinPe Background images, help!

$

0

Dear all.

I hope someone can help. 

I have customised a winRE image to make it a boot image for SCCM PXE with the recovery environment I need for clients.

What I see is that winRE looks for \system32\winRE.jpg rather than winPE.jpg. This is a problem when people are changing backgrounds in SCCM console, as this changes the winPE.jpg rather than the RE one. 

Does any clever person know where the exact path/file setting for loading the background is set in WinPE and I can change the WinRE boot image to use the winPE.jpg file and therefore have my admins able to change the background easily from the SCCM console?

Many thanks in advance!!

Windows 10 WDS Deployment

Hi all,

Hope you are well,

Since setting up WDS and trying to get it to install windows 10 has been nothing but a pain and i feel like giving up.

Firstly i had countless issue with the boot image and finally managed to get that working with 1607 boot.wim and then just the issue with UEFI and not being able to join the domain. I have a generic account now that has the required rights over the OU so any machines joined will have the reset password option in the security part.

However i am still having issue with the machine unattended joining the machine. This is my xml and from the looks of it i cant see any issues.

WDS - 2012 R2 Standalone - Client Fails to Initialise

$

I have a small environment with 1 physical server running 2012 R2 and WDS with DNS and DHCP, there is no AD in the environment, WDS is configured as Standalone.

If I create a VM on the physical server using Hyper-V, I can PXE boot and install my image with no issues.

If I try the same on any on the other physical servers I get the following message:


Note: DNS resolution from the PXE (PE) environment seems to be working correctly and I can ping the server by hostname and FQDN.

Here is a copy of the error log:

Any suggestions on the cause?  Could it be RPC related?

Thanks

WDS: EFI BIOS won't PXE boot into EFI mode

$
0
0

I need to be in UEFI mode when PXE booting from WDS, but device comes up in BIOS mode.  I am using latest Win 2008 Server R2, fully patched.  The board manufacturer insists that the 'Legacy PXE option ROM' is capable of PXE booting into UEFI mode, but I have doubts.  For testing, I am using a x64 boot.wim and install.wim extracted from a recent Breckenridge (Windows Storage Server) DVD.  How do I know I'm not in UEFI mode? 

When booting PXE/WDS:

1. Windows setup is not able to create a partition greater than 2TB on a 3TB drive.

2. In \Windows\Panther\setupact.log I see:

            Callback_BootEnvironmentDetect: Detected boot environment: BIOS

When booting from a DVD (I have two choices in BIOS for DVD device, one specifies 'UEFI')

1. Setup creates a full size (2794 GB) GPT drive partition on a 3TB drive.

2. In \Windows\Panther\setupact.log I see:

            Callback_BootEnvironmentDetect: Detected boot environment: UEFI

In both PXE and DVD boot, I specify drivers when setup presents the 'install drivers' button, so that the full size 3TB is displayed.  Diskpart shows the following after PXE installation:

DISKPART> list disk
 Disk ### Status  Size Free Dyn Gpt
 -------- ------------- ------- ------- --- ---
 Disk 0 Online  2794 GB 0 B
 Disk 1 Online  482 MB 0 B
 Disk 2 Online  465 GB 0 B

DISKPART> select disk 0
Disk 0 is now the selected disk.
DISKPART> list part

 Partition ### Type  Size Offset
 ------------- ---------------- ------- -------
 Partition 1 Primary  100 MB 1024 KB
 Partition 2 Primary  60 GB 101 MB
 Partition 3 Primary  1987 GB 60 GB

 

Apparently setup did not detect UEFI, and created an non-GPT disk.  I thought maybe there was something I had to specify on the WDS side, but found nothing in the GUI.  I did find options inwdsutil to display and set a 'default boot program' for specific architectures (my target architecture is x64).  WDSUTIL /get-Server /server:SVR.Foo.local /show:Config shows:

Boot Program Policy:

 Known client PXE prompt policy: OptOut
 New client PXE prompt policy: OptOut
 Allow N12 for new clients: 
 Architecture discovery: Enabled
 Reset boot program: No
 Default boot programs:
  x86 - boot\x86\pxeboot.com
  x64 - boot\x64\pxeboot.com
  ia64 - boot\ia64\bootmgfw.efi

 Default N12 boot programs:
  x86 - boot\x86\pxeboot.n12
  x64 - boot\x64\pxeboot.n12
  ia64 - boot\ia64\bootmgfw.efi

So I tried changed the default boot program for x64 to (using WDSUTIL /set-Server /BootProgram:boot\x64\bootmgfw.efi Architecture:x64), to look like:

Boot Program Policy:

 Known client PXE prompt policy: OptOut
 New client PXE prompt policy: OptOut
 Allow N12 for new clients: 
 Architecture discovery: Enabled
 Reset boot program: No
 Default boot programs:
  x86 - boot\x86\pxeboot.com
  x64 - boot\x64\bootmgfw.efi
  ia64 - boot\ia64\bootmgfw.efi

 Default N12 boot programs:
  x86 - boot\x86\pxeboot.n12
  x64 - boot\x64\pxeboot.n12
  ia64 - boot\ia64\bootmgfw.efi

But I got the same result (Setup cannot configure > 2TB partition, setupact.log shows 'BIOS' boot environment).  Am I missing something?  Should this work?

Thanks,
Dave

WDS Unattended RunSynchronous/ASync Scripts not working WIN 1803

Hello!

I hope someone can help me with my problem. The thing is that the unattended Setup for my Windows Deployment Service is working except of the RunSynchronous  and Asynchronous Scripts. You can see my unattended File below. Can someone tell me if there is some kind of a log file specifically for the Scripts because I couldn't find anything usefull at %windir%/Panther.

Hello, 

Many thanks in advance

we have a windows image to deploy on machines here at a school, however, am tasked of creating the Sysprep backup to save the man-hours installing numerous language installations, I installed the iso image we use to a machine fresh and then installed all the programs needed.

I have not connected it to the domain or done windows updates, just programs then sysprepped and move the files from the hard drive onto a memory stick, however going to use this backup is not working.

trying to get the computer to boot to it does nothing and when opening the files and running setup it comes up with ''

Customizing MDT: reading variables from the form and using later in deployment

I have inherited an MDT deployment implementation, and decided to build a new server and then get fancy with the Deployment wizard and add my own pane for getting information:



My issue is this: I'm trying to read what someone has selected for their service level, and then supply that as a parameter in a powershell script that writes a registry entry in a task down the road. Here is my form HTML:

<H1>OS Customization</H1><td width=50><img src="sla.png"></td><td><p>Service Level: </br><select id=ServiceLevelList language=VBScript onchange="SetServiceLevel" class=wideedit><option value="2">Gold</option><option value="3">Silver</option><option value="4">Bronze</option></select><input type=hidden Name=ServiceLevelList /></p></td><td width=50><img src="patch.png"></td><p>Patching Group: </br><select id=WSUSGroupList language=VBScript onchange="SetWSUSGroup" class=wideedit><option value="PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_2200">PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_2200</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Daily_A_1700">PCM_BigFix_Daily_A_1700</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Manual">PCM_BigFix_Manual</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Saturday_A_0000">PCM_BigFix_Saturday_A_0000</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Saturday_A_0200">PCM_BigFix_Saturday_A_0200</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Saturday_A_0800">PCM_BigFix_Saturday_A_0800</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Saturday_A_2000">PCM_BigFix_Saturday_A_2000</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_1000">PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_1000</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_1100">PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_1100</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_1200">PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_1200</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_1300">PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_1300</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_1500">PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_1500</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_1600">PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_1600</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_1800">PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_1800</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_1900">PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_1900</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_2000">PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_2000</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_2100">PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_2100</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_2300">PCM_BigFix_Sunday_A_2300</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Tuesday_A_0700">PCM_BigFix_Tuesday_A_0700</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Tuesday_A_1700">PCM_BigFix_Tuesday_A_1700</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Tuesday_A_1800">PCM_BigFix_Tuesday_A_1800</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Tuesday_A_2300">PCM_BigFix_Tuesday_A_2300</option><option value="PCM_BigFix_Wednesday_A_0500">PCM_BigFix_Wednesday_A_0500</option></select><input type=hidden Name=WSUSGroupListName /></p></td>

My issue, is that I cannot seem to get the values from the drop down boxes and assign them to variables as the server builds with the default values. So I am guessing that it is some error in my HTML coding which I admit I don't know, or the little script that I'm running when the state of the form control changes.

I've looked at it for about 5 hours now so anyone who could assist would be greatly appreciated.

We deployed AD ,DNS , & CA server.

Now we have created a GPO to store recovery key under AD & wanted to configure DRA as well so that in case of issue we can use DRA certificate to unlock drive.

Post pushing DRA from GPO, we are unable to see certificate under RSOP.MSC & what will be the use of DRA & how to use the same.

what is the impact of having two different KMS servers in the same domain ?

$

Hello Everyone ,

we have a Server#1 windows server 2008 , running as our KMS server activating our clients windows 7

now we are planning to have another server , Server#2 windows server 2016 and our plan to make this server run as KMS host to activate windows server 2016 , 2012 windows client 7 , windows 10.

all the above in the same domain , our concern what is the impact if we do so and have two of them up and running ?

Adding the second KMS will involve adding a second VLMS dns entry in our local DNS servers.

will this create any conflict? How will the clients get the activation from their respective (whether Windows 7 or Windows 10) KMS host?

once our new Server#2 windows 2016 is functioning correctly we might decommission the Server#1 after a while  

I need your thoughts and suggestions please :(



WDS Deployment to a different subnet

Hi

We have a WDS server on windows 2008R2 sitting on a network1. We also have DHCP with options 66 and 67  and a few PCs on the same network, and deploying windows 10 via the network to PCs on the same network works fine.

We also have network2 which is routed to network1. On network2 we have DHCP with same options 66 and 67 and few PCs. I have also set IP-Helper on a router pointing to WDS server on network1.

But if I try to load windows via the network on any PC in network2 from WDS server, I am getting error "PXE-E79:NBP is too big to fit in free base memory" on a PC.

Most of the articles regarding this error points to setting IP_Helper which I have done.

Also some people mentioned there should be small file set as boot image which loads the main install image but I just cannot find how to do it.

Thanks

Hi

I’m trying to deploy Windows 10 using WDS. I have created an answer file and saved as autounattned.xml. After the initial PXE boot, Windows installation starts and then once it’s completed, the PC reboot. However, I receive an error that “Windows could not parse or process unattended answer file”, and it’s pointing to Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup. I’m not 100% sure if I have gone through all the required steps in order to perform the unattended deployment.

Thank you

Using existing laptop license keys whilst deploying with the MDT?

Hi Everyone,

I have a fleet of laptops which I wish to provision using the MDT.

Previously I have successfully used the MDT with a volume license key, but on this occasion I do not have the luxury.

Is there a process for using the existing license keys, from each of the laptops, whilst using the MDT for deployment?

Kind Regards,

Davo

We installed DHCP and WDS with server 2012, want to test IPV4 and IPV6 boot from LAN.

With the same server, we can achieve test client boot from IPV4,but failed at boot from IPV6.check the failed symptom,we get message:"PXE-E16, No offer received"at test unit. we think the problem happened at the setting of IPV6 DHCP. Could you give me some guides about the related setting?
