R2 upgrade and custome boot images

Hi Guys
What happens to the custom boot images after the upgrade to R2 from SP1? There are some boot images customised to be able to connect to 802.1x secured wired network and I was wondering what will happen to them after upgrade?

They're not gone after the upgrade so there's nothing to re-import thus yes you can still use them although boot images based on WinPE 4.0 are not technically supported in R2 (though they should work). You won't be able to add drivers to them or
maintain them in the console either. You should put in the effort to customize WinPE 5.0 based boot images for the long run though.
Also note that Win8 won't be supported anymore after October of this year (http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/search/default.aspx?alpha=Windows+8&Filter=FilterNO&wa=wsignin1.0) so
you should plan to move to Win 8.1 Update ASAP for your deployments.

Setting up an Image Server and Selecting boot Images

I am setting up my first image server and when i perform a network boot I can see that i am reaching the DHCP server but i dont i am not getting a boot image. I have configured the server with an install image and a boot image but still getting nothing.
Can someone please help a novice set up this server.

If this is for ConfigMgr enter the following in your DHCP
Option 066 - the FQDN of your SCCM server.
Option 067 - the path smsboot\x86\wdsnbp.com

Default or custom boot image

Hi to everyone. Currently I am in a process of learning SCCM 2012 R2, having experience in working with MDT & WDS. I want to perform capturing of reference virtual Windows 7 machine image and to deploy it later to bare-metal virtual machine. In order
to do this I have to create task sequence media and while creating it I have to choose boot image. Since I have to "inject" vmxnet3 network drivers into boot image before using it for creation of task sequence media, what is recommended practice
- doing so with default boot image (for example x64 flavour of it) or adding Windows 7 boot image into SCCM and injecting these drivers into it? In MDT I did not have any default boot images so I had to add them from Windows 7 installation media and inject
these network drivers into them.

No consequence. As Darrick says IT Admins often add their own custom images. However that is not essential. If you're just learning keep it simple.

G41M-E43 and BIOS BOOT IMAGE

Does anyone know if this board can have it's BIOS BOOT image replced with a custom one?
What tool is used to do this?
I would like to change the image to something for my HTPC I am building....I know I can disable it. I want to put my own image on the BOOT screen.
Thanks,
*BH*

ThinkWiki says you have to work with them. I haven't come across a method to suppress them.

Mdt integration boot image and SCCM boot image

I created a MDT task sequence in SCCM and went through all the steps for setting up the toolkit and settings and boot image. After all that, I distributed everything to my DP. When i try to boot to pxe and run that new MDT task sequence it finds the pxe
server, but just sits at "Contacting server" for some time until it times out. If I select the SCCM boot image in the task sequence properties then it works. the one created when i create the task sequence doesn't.
Any Idea?

Sounds like you didn't enable the boot image for PXE. This is a checkbox at the bottom of the Data Source page in the properties of the boot image.
Have you reviewed smspxe.log?

Creating a custom boot image for Mavericks

Hello Apple Community!
I realize that this question might have been asked a few times already, but I found nothing using the search function (nothing that satisfied me, that is).
My task is simple: We have several different Macs at the office (Mostly MacBook Airs and Pros, some iMacs too) and whenever a new employee join us, I need to install all the software for that person. That is a bit of a cumbersome and repetitive process, so I wanted to know if and how it would be possible to create custom, universally working (i.e. on all different models that we're using at our institute) disk images that contain all the preinstalled software packages that we're using....
We are using Mavericks ATM, but we will migrate to Yosemite eventually (though not until I stop hearing people complain about Yosemite's apparent random bugs).
Is there a guide to this somewhere? Would someone please point out where I could find such information?
Thank you guys.

I created my own simply by installing OS X on an external USB drive then booting into that drive, setting up just an Administrator account, installing all the software I needed and set it aside.
If I ever need to reinstall OS X, I boot into the USB's Recovery HD and run Disk Utility's Restore function pointing my Source to the USB drive and Destination to the Mac's internal drive.

BSI upgradation and customer version schema UTX0/UTAC

Hi All,
In upgrading of BSI notes 1022656 describes all steps and in 9 th step it is given as modify customer version schema UTX0/UTAC.
What exactly to be done there.
Please can any one answer this que?
Regards
Senthil

UTX0 is tax sub-schema for US , and UTAC is tax sub-schema for US using concurrent employment (you only use this if your company is implementing concurrent emp).
All you have to do is to go to either one of these schema (again, depending on whether you use concurr. emp or not) or equivalent custom sub-schema and change line 'UPAR1 BSI 70' to 'UPAR1 BSI 80'.

HT1461 Leopard upgrade and existing Boot Camp

Will upgrading my Mac to snow leopard have any effect on the existing Boot Camp/windows partition?

Not unless a problem occurs. Back everything up first, and then update the drivers by inserting the 10.6 install DVD when the computer is booted into Windows.

Do I need to use a boot image? 6509 / Sup2T Quad / VSS

I'm curious about boot loader images and if or why I should use one.

I'm about to set up a nearly identical VSS pair for another facility.
I just downloaded the latest SY3 version of IOS for the new pair, and there is a boot image available:
s2t54-boot-mz.SPA.151-2.SY3.bin
I just don't know why I would want or need that. Can anyone explain? I'm not a newbie by any means, but I just don't know why I'd need it. Right now, in the bootdisk: volume, I just have my IOS image: s2t54-advipservicesk9-mz.SPA.151-2.SY2.bin That was all that was in there before, but now that I'm building this new pair, I copied s2t54-advipservicesk9-mz.SPA.151-2.SY3.bin onto the same volume.
I understand that if I set a boot variable I can tell it to boot from one image or the other, but what does the BOOTLDR variable do for me. If I were to set the BOOTLDR variable to bootdisk:/s2t54-boot-mz.SPA.151-2.SY3.bin then what does that do for me? Right now, if I reboot, (until I added that 2nd image) it will just boot the only image in that directory with no issue.
What am I missing? Do I need to upgrade or use this boot image for anything?
Thanks for any tips you can provide!
Tim

Tim,
In simple terms, the bootldr file is the helper file to load the IOS.
The BOOTLDR environment variable specifies the Flash file system and filename that contains the boot loader image required to load system software.
The variable defines the primary Cisco IOS image that will load the final image from another source.
we need to set the BOOTLDR environment variable to specify the Flash device and filename of the boot loader image.
For Old version of IOS, there is a requirement of boot loader image to boot up the IOS image.
But for the latest version of IOS, no need for boot loader image.
Below are few things happen when the device boots:-
1. The router initially boots into ROMMON (this is your bootstrap code, which you can see in the show version command).
2. Then the router loads into the bootloader code (this is the bootloadr code, which you see in show version). This bootloader code is just an intermediate step between the ROMMON mode and the IOS mode.
3. The router then boots into the IOS mode from the bootloadr mode.
So if you do not mention the bootloadr specifically by giving the "boot bootloadr" command, the router will assume the bootloadr to be in bootflash of the device and try to boot it from there. If you mention the "boot bootloadr flash:...." command, then the router will look for the bootloadr in the flash (instead of the bootflash). Thats the only difference.
However, in both cases, if you have a valid IOS to boot into, then the router will come up without a problem, irrespective of the fact whether bootloadr image is in bootflash or flash.

Boot Image - Driver Path

I have another question on drivers and the boot image. I changed the UNC path of a driver and updated the driver itself with the new path. I thought all was good however that driver is in one of my boot images and now I am unable to update the
DP with the boot image as it fail for a that driver with the old path... I verified that the driver in the drivers list has the new path however the boot image still see the 'old' path. this does not make since as I would assume it would just reference
the 'driver' and thus see the new path but I guess it holds its own driver information?.. weird
Is there anyway to see/change the path of a driver listed in the boot image?

Hi,
Based on my test, you could resolve this issue by delete the driver from the list and re-add it.

Boot Image localization

Hi everyone!
I was reading a post on a forum which was providing a script to set the localization of a boot image as a prestart command. The script is providing a way to load another language as a displayed language when selecting a task sequence.
I am running ConfigMgr 2012 R2.
I am trying to load the French language using that script. The script seem to work and the language is set but half of the text is translated:
I know that this feature was available in ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 and unfortunately I do not have an environment of that kind right now but I was wondering if this was the same behavior or that it is a problem in the R2 release (WINPE 5).
If anyone could give me more information about that would be nice and I will post a follow up as soon as I can reinstall a ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 environment to validate this.
Thank you all
Mathieu

After trying on a ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 CU4 and having the same issue, I finally went to the old way.
Add LP to a custom boot image.
Now that it is fully localised, there is no problem.
MS should really look into real Multilanguage offer for their products.

SCCM 2012 Matching Processor Architecture Boot Image (0) not found

I'm afried reset the Boot.wim will take other 2 DP can not work too.
Please Help.

Hi Pazza,
As Torsten said, please ensure that you have an x86 and x64 boot image configured and deployed, regardless of the architecture of the OS that
you wish to deploy. Secondly, ensure that the boot images for both architectures have the network drivers for the respective model that you are imaging injected.
Otherwise, please review the link below:

Upgrade to SCCM R2 have to recreate boot image and TS

Wanna ask, I have upgraded from my SCCM from SP1 CU3 to R2. But i noticed that in boot image, the WinPE tab is missing thus i cannot include the network driver. Anyway that i can make the tab reappear again? Net says have to recreate the boot image and TS...
http://www.deploymentresearch.com/Research/tabid/62/EntryId/117/A-Geeks-Guide-for-upgrading-to-ConfigMgr-2012-R2-and-MDT-2013.aspx

This often happens after R2 upgrade. If your boot image does not have 6.3.9600 version then you will not be able to manipulate it using the R2 console. You don't need MDT to create a new one though (this new version).
You can use dism. See here. It's very easy. I had to do it yesterday.

Boot image does not exist and cannot read disk label errors.

Hi - I'm having a problem with installing Solaris 9 4/04 on a Netra T1. The Netra already has Solaris 7. I need to get this set up as a jumpstart server but it can't find the boot image. I'm using a brand new bonafide installation disk - not a copy. The system won't let me install/upgrade to Solaris 9 either. I get an error stating that disk label can't be read. I've tried swapping out the CDROM but I still get the same errors. Does anyone know what or why this may be happening? (Oh - and another strange thing - like I said the CDs are the original but there doesn't appear to be a cdrom/cdrom0/s0 directory. The directory I see is cdrom/cdrom0/sol_9_404_sparc/Solaris_9/Tools)
ERROR: Install boot image /cdrom/sol_9_404_sparc/Solaris_9/Tools/Boot does not exist

I appreciate any help at all - is there anyone out there who can tell me what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks

Hi check that you are booting of the right cd. Make sure it is soalris 9 software 1/2 if that fails then it may well be that your cd is buggered. most likely it is buggered it it cant find the boot image.

Windows 7 Professional PC hangs at "Loading files" when trying to boot with custom capture image on Windows Deployment Services.

I have created a custom capture image in WDS. Now when I try to boot my reference PC into this image the PC hangs at "Loading files". The reference PC is running Windows 7 and I am using Windows Server 2012 Standard on my server.
I have followed the instructions on how to create the custom capture image on the server to a fault. I PXE boot the PC and it shows the capture images after I hit F12. The problem is that it starts to boot and then hangs about 2/3 way through the progress
bar.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Derrick Logan,
We need know the detail phases your client hang, if it is irregular status, please collect the WDS log then post it. You can refer the following similar thread solution first.
