"Add Operating System Installer Wizard" Throws Error When Adding OS's

Good Afternoon All - 
Okay - I just installed SCCM 2012 in our production environment - whoo hoo!
Going through the initial setup and configuration, I had a few errors that I had to take care of, but was able to figure out what caused them OR just uninstall / reinstall them fixed it.  I've got a new issue I can't figure out, though.
On my SCCM 2012 Primary Site Server, I created a folder named Images and shared it to my SCCMAdmin account (full) and SCCM Admin group (full).  Inside of it, I created sub folders for each of the OS's that I want to have installers for.  For now,
I am working with Windows 7 Professional SP1 x64.
In the console (signed in as SCCMAdmin), I go to Software library, then Add Operating System Installer Wizard.  I type in the UNC path going to shared folder, then sub folder holding the ISO file and click Next.  I then get an error saying
"The specified path does not contain a valid operating system or you do not have permission to access it.  Specify a valid path."
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but here's what I've tried to fix it so far...
- Tried pointing it to a folder with the ISO's contents extracted as well as to the Sources folder
- Downloaded the ISO from TechNet so that I know it was fresh - nogo
- Tried adding a Windows 8 ISO I had laying around - nogo
- Checked folder share permissions as well as security ones.  I even gave Everyone full access - nogo
- Checked SCCM component and site status - green across the board.
Any ideas? - Thanks!

Sorry to bring up a relatively old post, but wanted to relay my experience with this same problem.  In my case, I knew all permissions were correct, but I received the same error message.  Turns out the problem was that I had only copied the
install.wim file to my Images directory.  I then directed SCCM to the Images directory and got the error message.  The reason for the error was that SCCM is looking for the folder structure that is on the DVD, namely, the "sources" directory. 
By the time I figured this out, I had already copied the entire "sources" directory to the root of my Images directory.  I moved all of these files under the Images\Sources directory and went ahead and copied the rest of the DVD to the Images directory. 
After doing that, I was able to complete the wizard as expected.  Hope that helps someone to not have to waste the same 2 hours that I just did.  :)

  • BDD 2007 -- ZTI -- OSD error "The Operating System Installation Failed Unspecified Error (80004005)

    Hi there
    Wonder if anyone can advise me on a BDD 2007 OS deployment issue? (Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, I couldn't see a forum for BDD 2007.)
    First of all, this BDD 2007 server and the OSD config was not done by me. For info, it is part of a SMS 2003 infrastructure.
    I am trying to get the XP Pro build process working. I am led to believe the config has been completed.
    Unfortunately, after booting the pc from the nic, I get an error. This is the order:
    - the 'Initializing Windows PE' splash appears for perhaps 15 seconds
    - very briefly, the text changes to 'Initializing Network'
    - for a second or two only 'Initializing Windows PE' appears again
    - then this error message appears:
    "SMS Operating System Deployment - The Operating System Installation failed. Please contact your system administrator for assistance. Unspecified Error (80004005)"
    I've spent some time looking into this error (80004005) and from what I can gather it possibly means 'access denied'.
    I'm assuming after Windows PE loads the first Task Sequence begins, and if this possibly is where the issue lies?
    One thing I cannot understand - the first Task Sequence (Initialization) has this command line (as do most, with different .wsf file):
    cscript.exe "%SCRIPTROOT%\ZTIGather.wsf" /localonly
    However, I cannot access %SCRIPTROOT% at all, Windows says it can't find it. I can run other variables such as %USERPROFILE%, %SYSTEMROOT%, etc, but cannot open %SCRIPTROOT%.
    Is it simply the case that I should create a new system variable (that has not been created by whoever built the server)?
    Thanks
    John Henry

    Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening  a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.

  • TableAdapter Configuration Wizard gives error when adding new TableAdapter

    Hi,
    I recently downloaded and installed the ODT for visual studio on my computer. I am running VS2008 on Windows 7 64-bit. I am able to create an ODP.NET connection to the Oracle XE 10.2g instance that is running on my computer with no problems and use that connection to browse the database. When I add a DataSet to my project, and start adding TableAdapters to the DataSet, I am getting errors. In an attempt to figure out what the problem is, I have followed various scenarios. I will describe each scenario, and what the end result is, and then after I have described them all, I will explain what I think the problem might be. Here are the different scenarios I have used:
    Scenario 1:
    From the Server Explorer, highlight ALL of the tables in my schema and drag them to the designer (all table adapters are added with no issues). I can add additional queries to each of the TableAdapters and then change the additional queries by right clicking and choosing "Configure". This all works with no issues. However, on certain TableAdapters, if I try to modify the primary query (Fill,GetData()), I can open the query editor just fine, change various settings, etc, but when I click on "Finish" I get the following error:
    Configure TableAdapter TABLENAME failed.
    Index was outside the bounds of the array.
    Scenario 2:
    From the Server Explorer, drag tables from my schema onto the designer one at a time. Some tables get added just fine, but for the rest of them, I get the following error:
    Failed to merge object(s).
    Index was outside the bounds of the array.
    Scenario 3:
    On the Dataset Designer, add tables one at a time by right clicking and choosing "Add -> TableAdapter" and then using SQL to define the query for each table. Some tables get added just fine, but for the rest of them, I get the following error:
    Failed to add TableAdapter.
    Index was outside the bounds of the array.
    Ok... now that I have described all of the different scenarios, I will explain what I think the problem is, and why. Based on my research, I believe the underlying problem has to do with Foreign Key Constraints on the various tables. While working on Scenarios 2 & 3, the same exact tables worked just fine in both scenarios. When I started looking at the definitions for the tables in my schema, it turns out that all of the tables that failed had foreign key constraints defined. When I remove the FK constraints from a table, I am then able to add it to my dataset and change the default query with no problems. My original application used the System.Data.OracleClient provided by Microsoft. When adding my tableadapters using the microsoft data provider, the FK relations are automatically generated for me in the designer, but not with the Oracle Data Provider
    I would be happy to provide you with the DDL that I used for creating my schema (it is not very big) if needed.
    Thanks,
    Jim

  • Receive: "Add Profile Failure: Invalid Profile XML" error when adding WWAN profile - Windows 7

    I'm trying to import below XML profile to Windows 7 machine and no matter what profile i use (even the one it was on that computer originally it gives me an error.

    - received very nice message: Add Profile Failure: Invalid Profile XML
    I'm stuck, help?

    Hey,
    Got an answer. It required some debugging, but I end up finding it.
    When you add that profile, system executes a function which compares Subscription ID tag with the one it has in system already. If one is already there then overwrites the profile, if NULL adds the profile. Problem is, as soon as any of
    the profiles are configured manually to redistribute later, the Subscription ID tag is encoded. And window doesn't know how to decode it, so it fires an error. 
    The Subscription tag is an IMSI number, when you right click it on your connection and go to properties, you will see it there, 15 digits. Copy it and paste it to the XML file replacing encoded number.
    It works as a charm.
    I leave deployment methods to you... :)
    Not so happy to answer my own question, but what a heck... glad to help even one person :)

  • How to add operation system user in atable

    oracle 10g and Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4
    i wouil like to add operation system user name in a oracle table so that i can monitor data in the particular table

    Your question is unclear.
    Check also v$session dynamic performance view may be you can get information from this view which you can pull into your custom table.
    And your query is about finding who is connected then,
    To know about the list of users that is now connected and the time when they connect to database issue the following query.
    SQL> SELECT s.username, s.program, s.logon_time
    FROM v$session s, v$process p, sys.v_$sess_io si
    WHERE s.paddr = p.addr(+)
    AND si.sid(+) = s.sid
    AND s.type = 'USER';
    USERNAME PROGRAM LOGON_TIM
    SAMI sqlplus@testerp (TNS V1-V3) 26-NOV-10
    oracle@testerp (J000) 26-NOV-10
    To know only the current session user name you can issue the following query,
    SQL> SELECT USERNAME from v$session where audsid = sys_context('userenv','sessionid');
    USERNAME
    SAMI
    To know about on which schema you are connecting issue following query.
    SQL> SELECT sys_context('USERENV', 'CURRENT_SCHEMA') FROM dual;
    SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','CURRENT_SCHEMA')
    SAMI
    To know about the connected user user for the current session issue,
    SQL> SELECT sys_context('USERENV', 'SESSION_USER') FROM dual;
    SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','SESSION_USER')
    SAMI
    If you use SQL*plus then simply issue,
    SQL> SHOW USER;
    USER is "SAMI"

    Have been using Lightroom on my Apple computer for years. Now, ever since upgrading to Apple's  Yosemite operating system I get an error message (150:30) every time I try to open a lightroom file. Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Also how do I subscribe to Adobe's Premium Support? Every time I've tried (through contact support) I just get taken on an unending loop.

    I think we need a lot more information.
    Exactly what does the message say?
    Exactly what files are you trying to open?
    Exactly how are you trying to open them (what menu command or button or mouse action or keyboard shortcut)?
    And lastly, what version of Lightroom are you using?

  • SSRS dataset throws error when another stored procedure is called inside dataset stored procedure

    Hello;
    I am using Report Build 3.0, I have a simple report which gets data using dataset which is created from a Stored Procedure. I have another stored procedure which updates the data in the table which is used for the report. I want to get the live data on report everytime
    the report is run so that I call that stored procedure (sp_updatedata) inside my report dataset stored procedure and here where my report fails as it throws error while creating dataset.
    Here is sample:
    sp_updatedata (this only returns "Command(s) completed successfully"
    Create Proce sp_getReportData
    As
    Begin
    Exec sp_updatedata -- I call it to update the data before it displays on the report
    Select * from customers
    End
    If I remove this line it works.
    Exec sp_updatedata -- I call it to update the data before it displays on the report
    Thanks

    Hi MESSA,
    According to your description, you create a dataset based on a stored procedure. In this procedure, it calls another procedure. Now it throws error when creating dataset. Right?
    In Reporting Services, when creating dataset, all the query or stored procedure will be executed in SSMS. So if the procedure can be executed in SSMS, it supposed to be working in SSRS. However, it has a limitation in SSRS. In a dataset, it can only return
    one result set.
    In this scenario, I don't think it's the issue of calling other procedure inside of procedure. Because we tested in our local environment, it works fine. I guess the sp_updatedata returns a result set, and the "select * from customers" returns
    another result set. This might be the reason cause the error.
    Reference:
    Query Design Tools in Report Designer SQL Server Data Tools (SSRS)
    Reporting Services Query Designers
    If you still have any question, please post the error message and the store procedure (sp_updatedata).
    Best Regards,
    Simon Hou

    Unfortunately there is no one here that can give you an answer; we are just users like yourself.
    But based on past experience it has been known for free upgrades to be offered ... but not before the new OS is formally announced.   There have been several references of late to the imminent launch of Mavericks.  I think you can do no more than wait for the announcement.

  • System log shows operating system call recv failed(error no.73)

    hi all,
      here i have some doubt in system log please clarify me,
    here in my (sm21)system log files i find more no  of logs for dispatcher and it indicates operating system call recv failed(error no.73)
    system log  Short Text shows:
    Operating system call &5&5&4 failed (error no. &>E5)
    The specified operating system call was returned with an error.
    For communication calls (receive, send, etc) often the cause of errors are network problems.
    It could also be a configuration problem at operating system level. (file cannot be opened, no space in the file system etc.).
    what is means

    Hello,
    Yes, you are right, these kind of problems (OS Error 73) are usually caused by network issues. Error 73 means 'connection reset by peer'. In most cases, this is because the connection was interupted by the communication partner or an active network component between.
    I provide you some recommendations:
    - Check your Network environment. You can use NIPING tool to diagnose it (note 500235), check your MTU stability.
    - Check note 27320 - keep alive and gui_auto_logout profile param
    - Also you can implement note 1002075 for a possible solution
    I hope this helps you.
