MDT 0xc0000098 The windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid OS entry

hello,
i installed WDS+MDT for OS deployment. all was working fine.
Now i need our branch office to be able to deploy OS as well.
I installed a new Win 2008R2 server, and installed the WDS service on it.
When reading about this on the internet i saw i need, on the MDT at our main office, to make a link, under "Advanced Configuration" - "Linked Deployment Shares" to the new WDS server (I used this: http://www.balm.se/?p=115")
when doing so i entered the UNC path to the new server and then, on the created link, i right click and choose "Replicate now".
after doing so, i tried booting a laptop just to see if there is any impact, and now, I'm getting this error:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. insert your windows installation disk and restart your computer
2. choose your language, and then click "Next"
3. Click "Repair your computer"
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc0000098
Info: The windows Boot Configuration Data file does not contain a valid OS entry.
I know that usually when I'm getting this message, it means that a previous MDT installation was started and did not finished correctly, and the are some [stuff] on the HD, so i do a partition erase and start over and all working fine.
Now it's not working. I tried several computer, even new ones, and NADA.
someone know the cause?
I know I read something, i don't remember where or how to find it, that when doing the steps I did, it alter\change some ini or xml, or something like this. is that true? any one know on what file do i need to look and see if something is misconfigured?
thanks a lot for your help

For a branch solution I would use DFS(R) rather than linked deploymentshares.
If there is infrastructure at the remote sites you could use the MDT environment at your main site, and  then at each other site use an existing server or build a new server (VM is available). Create a Deploymentshare on each sever
and copy the contents of the MDT environment from the first site into this share.  Next you will have to add the WDS service to each site's server. For WDS add the boot image. Of course as Keith noted ensure that you
have the same versions of MDT and the WAIK/ADK on all systems
You can use DFS to replicate to all of the other sites, but you will still have to create a deploymentshare, and install WDS at each site. So each site talks to its own WDS server you can use the DefaultGateway parameter instead -
[Settings]
Priority=Default, DefaultGateway
[Default]
SkipBDDWelcome=YES
[DefaultGateway]
192.168.10.1=Bergen
192.168.20.1=Oslo
[Bergen]
DeployRoot=\\MDT-Bergen\DeploymentShare$
[Oslo]
DeployRoot=\\MDT-Oslo\DeploymentShare$

  • PXE problem - \boot\BCD 0x0000098 does not contain a valid OS entry

    I am setting up PXE on my SCCM 2012 server.  I have a seperate DHCP server running WDS(unconfigured).  I have DHCP option 66 and 67 set  (\boot\x86\wdsnbp.com).
    I have PXE configured to recognize unknown computers.  The deployment assigned to the unknown computers collection.  And confirmed that the boot images are on the distribution point (only 1 distribution point in enviroment).  I do not have
    a SMSPXE.log on sccm server if that is any indication of anything.
    My workstation boots PXE, I hit F12 and it sees the PXE server.

    Unfortunately I am in exactly the same situation but under slightly different circumstances.
    We recently took delivery of 10 new systems, whilst developing a new/updated answer file the first two machines used have now developed this fault. They have been re-imaged several times, roughtly on its fouth deplyment the local machine entered this state
    and we cant seem to get rid.
    However any new system that hasn’t been used already is deploying correctly.
    Ideas?
    DHCP is MS / options:
    066 Boot Server host Name: [FQDN name of the WDS server]
    067 Bootfile Name: \boot\x86\wdsnbp.com  (the systems and boot file we wish to use are x64)
    FYI:
    WDS is on same LAN subnet.
    WDS is Win 2008 R2
    - StatoLNL
    On the 'broken' systems, try booting from USB media and then from a command prompt run diskpart and clean the disk.  Then power off and try PXE again.  I believe the clue is in the error message that the BCD store is kaput.

  • WDS "The file does not contain a valid install image"

    I have WDS installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 machine.  I can quite happily import Windows 7 Install images from the Windows 7 installation DVD, but if I try to import from the Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 installation DVD, at sources\install.wim, I
    get:
    "The file does not contain a valid install image"
    If I run WDSUTIL from the command line I get:
    "An install image could not be found in the image file".
    I believe that the DVD is fine as I can install machines from it and mount the sources\install.wim file using DISM.
    Anyone any idea what's wrong?
    Note that the problem is not with my own images, it's with the image as supplied on media direct from Microsoft.

    Which download link did you use to get your SP1 media? From this link:

  • The Boot Configuration Data file is missing requires Information

    My ideapad U310 doesn't boot any more after the boot procedure was interrupted by power outage.
    A blue screen shows the following:

    The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information.
    File: \BCD

    You'll need to use the recovery Tools on your installation Media. If you don't have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer.

    I can only make one suggestion. Boot from usb Recovery flash drive and hope that the startup repair will do their magic to your unit.

  • HP Stream 7 The boot configuration data file is missing some required information

    I have an HP Stream 7 tablet.  When I open it up it shows a blue screen with the error "The boot configuration data file is missing some required information."  Can anyone help as I can't get into the tablet to solve the error!

    Hey @PaD2 ,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand you're unable to boot up your Stream 7 tablet.
    Try accessing the recovery partition by holding the volume down button and power button at the same time. Please excuse my ignorance, as exact information on accessing the recovery manager appears to be unavailable for this exact model. If the down button doesn't work, up should get you in.
    Once in the recovery manager you should be able to select Troubleshoot > Startup repair. 
    If the startup repair does not fix the issue I would suggest trying the full system recovery option, which you should find under Troubleshoot > Advanced.
    Thanks.

    Any thoughts on how to fix this? Seen a few references to a "site reset" for SCCM 2007 but wanted to make sure there wasn't anything else to try before heading down that road with 2012R2.

    A site reset can also be done in CM12 so it's worth a try.

  • The Downloaded PDF file does not contain the Signature through BSP pages

    HI,
    We have an requirement for Distributing the FORM 16 to all Employee's through our Website, where the user will login and download his own FORM 16 ( TDS Certificate)
    This FORM 16 ( TDS Certificate ) is generated in SAP ( ECC 6.0 ) in Payroll Module.
    To satisfy the above requirement we have done the following steps.
    1) First we have modified the standards SAP Sapscript(Layout) to incorporate the Signature of Authorised Payroll Person. 
    We have done this by uploading the BMP file ( though t-code SE78 ) and then calling this file in the Standards layout which prints the FORM 16 document.
    2) WE also Modifed the Dirver program to Download the above document in a .PDF  file. 
    The Program creates the seperate file for each employee and assigns the employee number as a file name to each downloaded file. These all files are downloaded on a Users Machine.
    We opened the Downloaded .PDF files, and checked for the Signatures. The Signature were comming perfect as it ws uploaded.
    3) We uploaded these all FORM 16 PDF file off all emlpoyee's to a different SERVER ( BW 7.0 ). With the help of BASIS person, using the FTP utility.
    4) We wrote a BSP program to download this ulploaded PDF Files.
    BUT we are facing a PROBLEM in the DOWNLOADED PDF file.
    The Downloaded file does not contain the Signature which is there is the Original file we uploded this server.
    All other data in the dowloaded PDF file is Perfect other than the Signature.
    When we open the downlaoded PDF file it give's following  message on the Signautre page.
    " Xobject not found named 00013"
    The number of the Object comes different to different files.
    We are using Function module 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING' to Convert string to Xstring
    We are using the the " CALL METHOD CL_BSP_UTILITY=>DOWNLOAD" for downloading the PDF file.
    Please suggest some solution if you can
    Thanks in advnace.

  • The window to select dimensions simply does not appear and I can't move forward, due to variables exit in the report

    Dear experts,
    I am having an issue when I try to create a WEBI document using Bex query through OLAP connection (Bics).
    Due to variables exit, it is not possible to open query pannel in webi to choose wich dimensions to add to the webi document.
    The window to select dimensions simply does not appear and I can't move forward!
    In RSRT ou Bex Analyzer, the query is running fine without errors.
    CMOD code is like this (I believe there is not any error as it is working flawless on other reports for other variable names):
    WHEN 'ZREDT1'.
         IF i_step = 2.
           CLEAR wa2.
           READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO wa2 WITH KEY vnam = 'ZRE_DT_IN'.
    *      wa2-low = |{ v_year_h }12|.
           IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
             v_year_h = wa2-low(4) - 1.
             CONCATENATE v_year_h '12' INTO wa1-low.
    *        wa1-low = wa2-low.
             wa1-opt  = 'EQ'.
             wa1-sign = 'I'.
             APPEND wa1 TO e_t_range.
           ENDIF.
         ENDIF.
        WHEN 'ZREDT2'.
         IF i_step = 2.
           CLEAR wa2.
           READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO wa2 WITH KEY vnam = 'ZRE_DT_IN'.
           IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    *        wa2-low = |{ v_year_h }12|.

             wa1-sign = 'I'.

           ENDIF.
         ENDIF.
    Please provide assistance,
    Thanks in advance,
    Kind regards,

    I solved it.
    The problem was due to date coming to exit - as you know some time intervals start at 01-01-1000, and as I was calculating 1000-1 = 999
    I was getting and interval from 99901 to 201405. Do not know if it was not working because CHAR NUMC6 was failing trying to recognize interval 99901 - 201405, but probably, this was the issue.
    Thanks for your inputs,
    Best regards,

  • "The selected file does not contain audio media ..."

    I'm using Premiere Pro CC in Windows 7. A week ago I created a project using media from an external hard drive. I opened the project today to make changes to it, and a number of the .MTS files show up as missing. When I click on "Link Media" and locate the file -- which shows up as being on the external drive -- I get the following error message: "The selected file does not contain audio media used by clip references in one or more sequences. These audio clip references will be deleted, and cannot be undone. Do you want to continue?" I have canceled out of it because I do not want to damage my project irreparably, but I'm trying to determine the best course of action in re-linking these clips that are essential to the project. (I did apply a Left Fill to all the audio in the project, but I don't know if that would cause a problem, or if it did, how I could remove that effect. I've tried to re-link with several previous autosave versions of the project, only to get the same result.)

    Try this:

  • Error (Data mining): The specified mining structure does not contain a valid model for the current task.

    I'm trying to run the Cross validation report on a mining structure that contains just Microsoft Association Rules mining model. In Target Attribute, I've tried:
    Actual(Service Description).SE value
    Actual([Service Description]).[SE value]
    Actual(Service Description)
    Actual([Service Description])
    just because i don't know what is the exact correct format, but none of them worked, and I always get the following error:

  • SCCM 2012 - Adding Operating System Installer (The specified path does not contain a valid operating system ..)

    I have encountered the dreaded "The specified path does not contain a valid operating system or you do not have permission to access it.  Specify a valid path" message that seems to be popular in many forums .... BUT, so far none of the "solutions"
    have fixed the problem (of I don't understand the fix)
    Configuration
    SCCM 2012 SP1 5.0.7804.1000
    WADK 8.100.26629.0  < Suggested Fix
    Server 2008 R2
    SCCM Administrator with UserID = SCCMAdmin 
    Steps / Fixes I have followed
    I have configured a administrative share
    \\caleb\sources$ to hold directories (such as Apps, Drivers, and OS) with the following NTFS Permissions
    EVERYONE has Read and Execute, List folder, Read permissions<o:p></o:p>
    SYSTEM has Full Control 
    <Suggested Fix
    SCCMManagers (our group that has all SCCMManagers) has Full Control<o:p></o:p>
    SCCMAdmin (the SCCM Admin account that we are using to import image) has Full Control<o:p></o:p>
    Local Administrators (the local machine administrator) has Full Control 
    <Suggested Fix
    <o:p></o:p>
    Another Fix is to explicitly grant all permissions to the SCCM Administrator
    <Suggested Fix
    >Administrative Users ...
    Properties of the SCCM Administrator (for us that is SCCMAdmin) has all the boxes checked<o:p></o:p>
    Another suggestion I was able to glean was to Specify the Network Access Account
    so I configured SCCMAdmin as the Network Access Account.
    Another potential fix is that the image ISO file that has been downloaded is corrupt.   So, I downloaded the Win 7 (and Win 8.1) ISO's from MSDN and did a Checksum check.
    I then mounted the ISO (on 2008R2 I use VirtualClone Drive) and copied the contents of the image to
    E:\Sources\OS\en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_vl_build_x86_dvd_u_677896 for Windows 7 with SP1
    To double check,
    I computed the Hash on the Install.WIM located in the Sources directory and compared with
    the computed Has Tag for the Install.WIM on the ISO Image  ... and the Hash tag of the WIM's matched (extracted vs what is contained within the ISO)<o:p></o:p>
    I tried to load the images into SCCM 2012 using the "Operating System Installers" option
    UNC to installer
    \\caleb\sources$\OS\en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_vl_build_x86_dvd_u_677896
    Then I receive the lovely message <o:p></o:p>
    "The specified path does not contain a valid operating system or you do not have permission to access it.  Specify a valid path"<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p> </o:p>
    From

    04/04/2014 10:54:34.649 Setup closed with exit code: 0x84C4001E
    04/04/2014 10:54:34.677 ======================================================================
    I've checked 1000 times that the folder DOES contain a mediainfo.xml file:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <MediaInfo>
    <Properties>
    <Property Id="MediaLayout" Value="Full" />
    </Properties>
    </MediaInfo>
    I've seen a few suggestions elsewhere in search results, but nothing has worked so far.
    I've previously run the 2008R2 installer and the 2012 installer without problems, so I'm not sure what has changed, or how to get round it.
    I'm running on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1, 64 bit with up-to-date Windows Updates.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    In addition to Alberto’s suggestion:
    Validate the setup media is not corrupt.

    Install .net framework 3.5 and 4.0. Repair them, if already installed.
