Capturing an image to use for PXE boot

I'm using Windows Deployment Services in conjunction with Windows Deployment Terminal (Windows Server 2008) to capture an image from one of our workstations to use as a PXE boot image for future computers. I've created the capture image and PXE booted
to that image, which brings up the "Image Capture" wizard. After capturing the image, I created an install image in WDS using the same .wim file. After trying to PXE boot, the workstation yet again brings up the "Image Capture" wizard.
I then right clicked the image under Boot Images (in WDS) and selected "Create Discover Boot Image." A loading window pops up, but always ends with an error saying something to the extent of the image doesn't have WDSClient Binaries. Does anyone
know what this is or how to fix this? Or even if I'm going about it the right way? If anyone has any advice, I'd appreciate it.

Hi,
Yes, you can.
Here are the rough steps:
1.
Install and configure the WDS Server.
2.
Add the Windows 7 boot image to WDS.
3.
Create a Capture Boot Image and add it to Boot Image.
4.
Create a reference Windows 7 computer (install Windows 7, Office and other applications as you like)
5.
Sysprep the Windows 7 computer.
6.
PXE boot the reference Windows 7 computer into capture image on the boot screen and then capture the image.
7.
Upload the captured image to WDS server.
8.
PXE boot clients, choose the captured image to install the system.

I had the similar problem couple of years back

Server 2008 configured for PXE boot with UIU and GhostCast

Right now, I am in the process of switching over from UIU 4, to UIU 5, and the implementation is completely different. We used GhostCast to push images out before, but the new UIU uses WIM files to pull the drivers off the server. I had a few
questions about reconfiguring the new server.
Currently, we have a server 2003 machine running ghost cast. It pulls its images off of a server 2008 machine. The server 2008 machine can be accessed remotely. So my first question is, can this be configured to allow remote connections
with the new setup?
The things I have been reading have said that you need to enable DNS, AD, and DHCP, however if we connect this to a WAN, will it conflict with that? Or can we configure only one of the ethernet ports to see this? Sorry kind of new to this.
I guess my main concern is, can we set up a separate domain for GhostCasting, while still being connected to an external domain?

Hi,
I’m not sure what you really want to do. For PXE boot, I think DHCP is always required just like Microsoft deployment solution WDS and MDT.
The two products are third products, so I don’t know the detail information about how they work. Based on my experience, they should be based on broadcast or multicast.
If so it could be a bad idea if you install it on a server facing the internet.
I think you can also ask in the third party forums that provide the products.
Thanks for understanding.

Motherboard does not POST - Decompressing BIOS image to RAM for fast booting

I recently returned my motherboard for a warranty repair due to a noisy northbridge fan. Following the repair my system was rebuilt however the motherboard now fails to POST indicating "Decompressing BIOS image to RAM for fast booting" on the LED D-bracket. Prior to the repair the system was running ok.
I have tried resetting the BIOS with the jumper and also reconnecting all of the cables and only the minimum required components to the motherboard (CPU, memory, graphics card). The motherboard was also reinstalled inside the case to ensure no earth between the case and motherboard exists.
Does anyone know why this error is reported, what is the cause? Could it be that the motherboard is faulty or have I perhaps damaged the CPU or memory modules during the rebuild?

I have tried all of the valid combinations with the memory modules with no other components but the CPU connected to the motherboard but still no POST. I'm currently waiting on a response from MSI regarding this issue but I'm beginning to think the motherboard is damaged. I've already endured a 12 week wait on the motherboard being repair via Dabs it is looking like it will have to go back again so its going to be 4 months without my system

Yoga 13 - Compatible USB to ethernet devices for PXE booting

Hi there,
I've recently been looking for a means to pxe boot the lenovo yoga 13 to enable me to then image it. After reading that pxe booting is possible I went out and bought a StarTech usb to ethernet adaptor (USB21000S2) but have had no luck so far.. In other postsI've read that pxe booting is only supported if using the official lenovo usb to ethernet adaptor. We're using FOG as our imaging solution (if thats of any use)
Please can someone confirm if only the official adaptor is supported.
Regards
Simon

Were you able to find any? I am also very interested in finding one. I just ordered one of these the lenovo 0A36322 to see if it will work, but it is only 100mb and not sure if it will work or not.

Looing for PXE-Boot option on T430s

Hello
I am in the process of testing a Thinkpad T430s to possibly do a mass purchase for our company. We use SCCM
to manage imaging, patching / updates etc. I am trying to PXE boot but but I am getting an error which may have to do with
SCCM but as an extra measure I am trying to locate PXE Boot option in the BIOS but can't seem to find anything.
ANy suggestions would be appreciated

do you see Wake On Lan and/or Ethernet LAN Option ROM on the Network menu under the Config tab in your BIOS.
apologies if you don't. all i've got to check is my X220 in front of me, at the moment.
regards.

Can "Refit" Be Used for USB Boot From External Optical Drive?

Since the new Mac Mini 2011 has no optical drive, how would one make a generic USB 2.0 optical drive act as a boot device? I have heard that a utility called "Refit" can alter the boot loading order and device choices in Macs. I suppose it is also possible that the new Mini may already be set up to boot first from USB. I would appreciate any comments. It would be nice to have some kind of optical drive boot option for Windows installation and other possible utilities that need to boot before the OS in order to work. Maybe I will have to take my external optical drive to an Apple store to find out. Hope not. I also suspect that a USB keyboard will be mandatory for "Refit" and the boot drive to be used before Mac OS X is loaded.

No utility should be needed.
You can hold the Option key down during the boot process to select which drive you wish to use as a boot device.
Also pressing and holding C boots to the optical drive.
There is reportedly a pretty broad number of USB optical drives that people have been able to use as a boot device, as inexpensively as $30. I don't know that there is a specific list though. I would research whichever model you wish to buy with a quick google search or searching that model here in the forum.
Or maybe somebody will have a recommendation which one they have.

Image file used for "Image Fill"

Hi,
In the "Road Trip" iWeb template there is a wood background.
I want to create a square shape and use "image fill" to make
it look like wood. Where do I find the image they are using
for this fill?
, Jonathan
Power mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Control-Click on the IWeb application to Show Package Contents. Then go to Contents/Resources/Shared. In that folder, again Control-Click and Show Package Contents for any of the Road Trip webtemplate packages. That's where you'll find background.jpg.

Can't select an image to use for a signature in Reader XI

Using Adobe Reader XI, I can't select an image to use as a signature. I have an image saved as a JPEG, but using an image is never an option. I only see the option to use a certificate.
Help!

A signature in a PDF is a digital signature. It consists of metadate, and not an image or physical signature.

What is the best way to capture RGB8 image to memory for later write to disk?

HI-
I have been using the code below for some time now but wonder if an expert can take a look and let me kown if there are ways to improve it. Problem I run into is that I preallocate the memory beforehand (camera.buffering[]), and with a 5 MP camera, this takes up a lot of RAM. It seems like when I am running this program in debug mode all day and constantly start/stop it without allowing it to free the memory gracefully, i eventually bog the system and start getting Out of Memory error -12, in other places in my code such as DisplayBitmap or GetBitmapfrom File. Is this all related to how much memory I am trying to allocate prior to begining the camera capture routine below?  Am I not allocating and free-ing it properly?
Code is below for how I grab the image and then send to memory usign memcpy. Is there a better, more efficient or faster method? I have removed error checking/etc from code below simply to save space. This operates at 15 fps.
I also included my allocation and free-ing code, too.
Thanks in advance.
Blue
//caemra capture loop//
camera.dxerror = IMAQdxGrab (camera.session, camera.image, 1, &camera.bufNum);
stat = imaqRotate2 (rotateimage, camera.image, camera.rotate_image, pixval, IMAQ_BILINEAR, TRUE);
stat = imaqScale (scaledimage, rotateimage, 4, 4, IMAQ_SCALE_SMALLER,IMAQ_NO_RECT);
stat = imaqGetImageInfo(camera.image,&camera.info);
stat = imaqDisplayImage (scaledimage, 0, FALSE);
memcpy (camera.buffering[camera.count], camera.info.imageStart, camera.info.pixelsPerLine*camera.CAMY*camera.bytesperpixel);
//memory allocation code//
camera.buffering = (int **)malloc(camera.maxcount*sizeof(int*));
for(i=0;i<camera.maxcount;i++)
      camera.buffering[i] = (int *)malloc(camera.info.pixelsPerLine*camera.CAMY*camera.bytesperpixel);
// free allocated memory code//
for(x=0;x<camera.maxcount;x++)
        free(camera.buffering[x]);
free(camera.buffering);

How many images are you storing in RAM? Typically when I need to work with tens, hundreds, or even thousands of images, I save them to the hard drive after I capture them as a PNG with 1000 quality. Sometimes I process them before saving, sometimes I process them offline from the saved images depending on the application. If you don't need all of the images simultaneously in memory at once, just save them to PNG. If you only process one image at a time, only allocate enough memory for the processing you need to perform on a single image.

Swapping Macs, can't change the image file used for TM to a Time Capsule

Hello ~
I have ten Macs connected to one TimeCapsule (TC) and nine of them work flawlessly performing a TimeMachine (TM) backup. On the one that doesn't work properly, it is a PBP with Leopard 10.5.8, and latest updates. The other Macs are mixed 10.5.x and 10.6.x.
I had a user on the PBP that I had been backing up in the past. I erased the HD and reinstalled the OS, and then created a new account. I wanted to start backing up the new account and have the name of the backup be the new name I put under Sharing Preference (I assume that's where TM gets the name of the backup).
Well, apparently not, the name of the backup is still the old user name from Sharing, and on the old account before the computer was erased.
I have repaired permissions, I have thrown out the TM prefs in Mac HD\Library\Preferences\, I have restarted the computer. So far I can not get the name to change on the sparse image that it copies to, even though TM says the backup completed without error.
So, as it appears the backup is using the same old image file that this Mac had been using, the backup are separate when you go into TimeMachine, they do not seem to access each other's data, and inspecting the contents of the image, the date of the backup file is there for the new user in the old image file.
I really would just like the PBP to stop using the old image file and create it's own image.
Any ideas welcome!
Thanks all
Chaz

I'm slightly confused. What is a PBP or did you mean a MacBook Pro (MBP)? And, what do you mean by a backup "image?" TM does not make images. Are you actually referring to the backup folder for this machine?
If I understand correctly what you need to do is delete the old backup for this machine so TM can start from scratch with a new backup. To do that open the TM application and select your backup, then from the Finder's tool icon in the toolbar select "Delete." which should delete the entire backup.
Also, see User Tips for Time Machine for help with TM problems. Also you can select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine" to locate articles on how to use TM. See also Mac 101- Time Machine.

New Dell Lat e6440 Laptop - no IP address when PXE boot w/ WinPE

PXE booting is working fine with all other Dell models. PE environment loads, OSD password prompt is displayed. Task sequences are displayed.
With just this model, Dell Latitude e6440, it gets to the point where we should be prompted for a password, hangs and then reboots. When I hit F8 and enter ipconfig it shows no ip address If I do ipconfig /renew i get "The operation failed as no adaptor
is in the state permissible for this operation." If I boot the computer into Windows (OOBE as shipped by Dell) it gets an IP successfully. I've updated our WinPE boot image with every network driver I can find from Dell for this model. Any other suggestions?
We are booting with a x86 WinPE wim file.
I have injected the latest kernel mode driver framework into our WinPE wim used for PXE boot.

Can't PXE boot a Surface Pro 3 after already successfully imaging it

hey guys. To try to eliminate a lot of the initial question that come up with this issue, I figure I will start with established info. Our SCCM environment is healthy, and all images, drivers and apps are distributed to all of our DP's. We can image
PC's and laptops with no issue at all. We use network PXE booting. Using a 64 bit boot image. Needed drivers are injected into the boot image. Firmware on the Surface was updated. Using the Surface NIC dongle. THis dongle was only used to image
this Surface Pro 3 tablet one time. There is no record of the MAC of the dongle in SCCM since I deleted the Surface out, to make it an unknown again.
So, with a lot of trial and error, I was finally able to get this tab to PXE boot, and then successfully image. Was testing out the new windows 8.1 image I had built.
Since it ewas successful I wanted to add all of our apps to the TS and test them out in imaging. Well, I can no longer get this thing to PXE boot. It shows trying to Start PXE over IPv4, then just skips to IPv6, then boots up into windows.
I have delted the secure keys form ther BIOS, then reloaded them. I have tried hte full shut down method (Holding Volume Up and Power for 15 seconds, then waiting for 10 seconds or longer, then trying to PXE boot. I am getting a valid connection fro
mthe dongle.
Nothinhg I try works. Its tries to PXE boot over IPv4, but never gets there. But I can PXE boot any of our PC's or Laptops,m so its just an issue with this damn Surface Pro 3.
ANy advice?

So I finally got our server guy to enable the logging and get that smspxe.log file to be accessible. So here is the info from the log, when I attempt to PXE boot the Surface. I see the last 2 lines where it ignores the request, I just don't know why its
ignoring it.

Help with partitioning ext firewire drive to use for storage/image backups

I just ordered a 2tb external hard drive. Want to put at least 1tb of the space for normal access file storage and use between 500gb and 750gb (probably the latter if I upgrade internal drive) for image clones to use for emergency boots. Software maybe Super Duper? Anyway, will get pre-formatted drive tomorrow and need to make it happen quick.
Would I delete whatever partition comes on it and put 2 new ones on? One for file storage and one for clone images? Or can I even just use one big 2tb partition? Want to make regular clone images for emergency booting and expand my file storage at same time. Probably use something lIke Carbon Copy Cloner(?) or Super Duper for images and maybe do some Time Machine backups?

Yes, you can do it that way. Again, it is recommended that TM have its own partition.
It sounds like you have two 2TB HDs. Why not put three partitions on one, put the 750GB of data on one partition, and you have two more partitions to clone to (I would alternate each time).
Then you have the other 2TB HD for TM. It's recommended that you have a volume at least double the size of the amount of data you're backing up (3x or more would be even better), so that would be great.
Obviously you can do what you want, but starting out from the beginning like you are, why not do it "right?" It's the "foundation," and the better that is, the better luck you're likely to have with the structure built on top of it (your backups).

Pxe-boot uses wrong filename

Hello,
I have a working setup for pxe-boot.(testet with my Desktop).
My DHCP-Server supplies as filename "pxelinux". My new Thinkpad S531 is unable to boot.
The log of my tftp-server shows, that my TP adds a sign at the end of the filename on request, and of couse,
my tftp-server is unable to find that file.
The added sign ist not from the alphabet, so I cant put it in here. If I change the filnename on my "filename"-diretive of my dhcp-server p.e. to "pxelinux.0" an other sign is added to the filerequest of my TP.
Secure boot ist off.
Is this a bug in my efi?
Thanks for reading

Thanks to both for replies. Correcting the default boot order was easy but getting the internet connection to work took a little longer. I solved it by changing the device name as suggested here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … evice_name
There was nothing in /etc/udev/rules.d so I created the file 10-network.rules and used the enp2s0 device name which was working with the older kernel.
I'm still wondering why this mixup happened in the first place but anyway, it's working now so many thanks for your replies.

"Welcome to the Task Sequence Wizard" never shows on PXE boot, but does on Boot Media with prestart command

Hey guys, I have a fairly odd situation here. I have all OSD Task Sequence advertisements set to "PXE and Boot Media (hidden)" and all are optional
(not mandatory). I use a powershell form via prestart command to give the user a choice which limits what task sequences they choose. When everything is working, this process works. Unknown desktop-class systems see desktop task sequences,
and server-class systems see server task sequences.
Here's where it's different when I use different boot methods:
Boot Media
"Welcome to the Task Sequence Wizard" is presented. User hits or clicks Enter.
Powershell form is presented; user picks their task sequence
Confirmation screen is presented with the task sequence they selected (this is an OSD screen the same size as the "Welcome to the Task Sequence Wizard"
screen.
Dependency check screen is shown with a progress bar. If a package is missing from a DP, it will display an error here with the PackageID. This
looks the same as "Regular" OSD with standard non-hidden advertisements.
PXE Boot
"Welcome to the Task Sequence Wizard" is never displayed.
Powershell form is the first screen they see. They select it and it continues.
No confirmation screen is presented if the system is known; if it is an unknown system, a small dialog says there is a
*mandatory* task sequence about to be run and it will run in 180 seconds. Users can hit enter.
No dependency check screen is shown; and if a package was missing, instead of presenting an error, it simply reboots. However, if everything is there,
the process starts successfully.
While I have no problems with the first window never being displayed, not displaying the error dialog and simply rebooting is what is bothersome to me.
99% of our builds are from PXE boot.
Again, these task sequences are all 100% optional, NOT mandatory, and I've double checked this multiple times. Can anyone explain why we get different
behavior between boot media and PXE boot? Any way of getting PXE boot to "mimic" the Boot media behavior?
I followed the guide here:
http://www.mydreampage.net/2012/09/21/how-can-i-deploy-a-hidden-task-sequence-in-configuration-manager-2012-sp1/
If you see the image here:
http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/uploads/monthly_09_2012/post-1-0-29840100-1348236179.png
You'll see the "Retrieving policy for this computer..." dialog box - I never get that with PXE - just Boot Media.
Note that I am running 2012 R2, not 2012 SP1 - but I never got a chance to test this process with SP1.
Upon further experimentation, the "hidden" task sequence has nothing to do with this. If I change it to a normal, non-hidden advertisement, as
long as the "prestart" command in the boot image is used, we don't get those missing dialog boxes at all, with PXE.

Are both boot images the same for PXE and the boot media? Same package ID and all?
Boot media for us always shows the task sequence wizard first, while PXE always displays the pre-start command first.
