Error during begin of task sequence, formatting drive

Hi,
Please see error below. Strange thing is that BIOS seems ok but then UEFI format not.
BIOS is for old systems, UEFI for newer but this is a vm. Why does it try to do both BIOS and UEFI and why does it fail?
The logic behind the steps in a standard ts (both bios and uefi next to each other) is not clear to me
Please advise.

Update: might be vmware drivers but they should be in the boot image x64. There is an error though eahc time on updating the boot image. Would it then make sence to delete and recreate the boot image? http://tompopov.blogspot.be/2011/07/instruction-at-0x769a7a1f-referenced.html

If you edit your task sequence and go to those tasks, click the options tab.  It shows you the criteria it uses to decide on whether to use or not.
UEFI should only be used if it's set in bios.  Should either have UEFI native or hybrid on.   If those are not set and it's still running, I have to wonder if your task options have been cleared maybe.

  • Error 16389 running a Task Sequence to install software

    We've run into multiple WinXPProSP3 computers generating error code 16389 when trying to run a TS.  After searching on Google, we found this, 
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/smsandmom/archive/2007/10/29/sccm-2007-task-sequence-fails-drive-letter-not-displayed.aspx
    , which led to another article to modify a RegKey,  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} , to add a key of UpperFilters, with a value of PartMgr.  The key WAS missing on the machines with
    the error, and, adding that key and value DOES fix the problem.  This key and value seem to be default for the OS.
    However, searching Google for that RegKey has a LOT of suggestions to delete that key and value, due to issues with USB Thumbdrives and iPods not being seen when plugged in--so, it seems that there may be a conflict.
    Does anyone know of a fix for Error 16389 without having to add that key, if it's going to cause other problems?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Will you please past the detailed errors in the smsts.log?
    From your description your are using TS to install software right?
    If so you should first make sure this software package meats the following requirement when it was deployed through TS:
    this program can be installed under local system account.
    this program can be installed without any user interaction (such as: press next button).
    this program will not force computer reboot, it allows sccm ts to manage the reboot.
    If your OSD TS return 16389 exit code, you can try to change the volume license keys. Because once i have seem this error and it was solved by changing the volume license key.
    Hope this will help.
    Thanks

  • One Surface Pro giving 0x8004005 error when looking for task sequence.

    This is only happening with one of many Surface Pro's
    I am unsure what would cause this, booting from USB in a hub with USB Network Adapter.

    I've seen this on a few of the Surface Pro 3's we got in recently. It is because you need to update the date/time in the OS. The easiest way to do this is to
    (1) Make sure you have command support enabled in your boot image.
    (2) Before you start your image process from the boot image, press (Fn + F8)
    (3) At the command prompt, check your date/time.
    (4.a) Type cd x:\windows\system32
    (4.b) Type date the current date is displayed, it's most likely off. It will prompt you to change the date using the mm-dd-yy format, change to the current date there, press enter
    (4.c) Type the Time the current time is displayed (24 hour time), key in the current time press enter
    (5) Start your imaging process, all should be well
    Excellent advice!!! For me, even though I had already booted the OS on my SP3, fully updated the firmware and restarted about 6 different times, I still would get a failure when the Boot image started to load. I followed these instructions and I was good to
    good. I'm just floored to see that my date and time were off by 3 days and 11 hrs, even though my OS was correct. I'm flabbergasted that this was the case. Thanks for the post! Helped me a lot! 

  • WinPE fails every time after "preparing network connections" message during Build & Capture task sequence

    Sorry, I'm using SCCM 2012 but can't find a forum for that ANYWHERE, so I'm posting this here:
    We're making our first attempt at OSD (build & capture) on an out-of-the box Dell Optiplex 9010 all-in-one. I've injected the NIC drivers found
    here on Dell's Enterprise support blog into the boot image.
    Using PXE boot, the machine starts up in WinPE when we deploy the task sequence, but every time it reaches the "preparing network connections" message in the splash screen, WinPE quits and the machine reboots.
    I've hit F8 to get the command line while WinPE is booting, and from running ipconfig there, it looks like the machine takes a long time to pick up its IP address from DHCP, but it DOES pick up an IP address eventually which implies to me that the NIC driver
    is at least somewhat working.
    See below for the wpeinit.log file from this machine. What am I doing wrong? What's that message about "no operational adapters found", expecially when I've verified that it does get an IP address (albeit after a short while)?

    This turned out to work for me, too! It was nothing to do with network switch configuration, per se-- or at least I didn't have to change anything on my switch to fix it. Instead I tried fusiongroup's method of getting into the command-line before the WinPE
    boot hit the "Preparing network connections" step, and I repeatedly ipconfig /renewed until suddenly the TS reached the next step of the sequence instead of failing out.
    I also made this an "Available" sequence instead of a "Required" sequence, which I think buys you a little time in terms of offering a GUI in WinPE for the sequence, instead of just trying to run it.
    One last thing: I was running this on a Workgroup machine that is not joined to our domain; I had followed another tutorial to get the client installed on it even though it's outside the domain. Prior to trying the command-line fix fusiongroup gave, I also
    went into Assets and Compliance in Configuration Manager and right-clicked the machine in the list of devices, and found that I had to "Approve" it for management by SCCM. Don't know if that helped as well.

  • SCCM 2012 App-V 5 Virtual Enviroments Not Created During OSD or Task Sequence

    Hi all, I'm in the process of adding some App-V 5 applications into our SCCM 2012 R2 OSD Windows 7 builds.
    If I install an App-V application which is in a virtual environment, and all applications that are in the virtual environment are installed during the OSD or task sequence, the Virtual Environment doesn't get created.
    The only time that the Virtual Environment gets created is if the machine has an application deployment for the same app-v apps targeted at it.
    Is this any way to get the Virtual Environment created as part of the build without having an applicationdeployment targeted at each machine?
    Appreciate your help.

    Hi, the AppEnforce.log just has the installation of the App-V apps I've specified in the task sequence. There are no references to virtual environments like the below which appear if I have an actual deployment of the App-v application.
    Virtual Environment ScopeId_8435F2E9-9573-4CA8-9C3E-0C1CE24B7F99/VirtualEnvironment_51b783ca-c5c3-4e39-b15b-a5000feb1e3c: Successfuly create and enable the connection group 606133CE-B161-4EEF-9F91-27D772F06E29

  • Set BIOS Password during SCCM 2012 Task Sequence

    Hi,
    I search a solution for this problem.
    I want to set a BIOS password during my unattended installation in the SCCM Task Sequence.
    I know the Lenovo BIOS instructions:
    http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/script.zip
    http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/thinkcentre_pdf/crdeploy_en.pdf
    With this you can change the BIOS settings during installation and you can change a BIOS password.
    But not set a new one, if they do not have a password, on a new laptop!!?
    I would not necessarily do it manually on +200 new laptops how can I solve this?
    e.g. HP have a simple solution with the BIOSUtilityTool
    thanks
    best regards

    We believe allowing a scripted method of setting a BIOS password without a root of trust is a security vulnerability.  For that reason we only allow changing a BIOS password via scripted means and the current password has to be provided.  We do provide a service in manufacturing for setting the initial password to a known value which you could then use in a script to change to a more secure value.

  • Creative Cloud: "Build" MSI Hangs During SCCM OSD Task Sequence Installation

    I wanted to share problem and solution I found when deploying Creative Cloud Packager-created packages/application using SCCM 2012 R2.  I encountered this problem packaging this as both a Package and as an Application in SCCM.
    When installing the software through SCCM Software Center onto a client, Software Center would close right as the installation of the "Build" folder MSI completed.  This is abnormal behavior.
    When installing the application as part of an OSD Task Sequence, the software would get installed (as shown by logs) but SCCM would hang forever at the "Installing Application" step.
    I tried all sorts of different settings in SCCM and with the MSIEXEC command line and eventually traced it to the Reboot Manager functionality in MSIEXEC that will close and attempt to restart processes using files that the installer needs. Reboot Manager clobbered part of SCCM and in the Task Sequence, the connection between SCCM and the installer was broken.
    The solution is to pass the property "MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL=Disable" along the command line when calling MSIEXEC on the Build folder MSI file.  This setting disabled Restart Manager so it didn't mess up SCCM.  Once I did this, my Software Center installs and OSD Task Sequences ran as intended.
    For reference, I used the REBOOT=ReallySuppress property for reboots and let SCCM determine what to do with reboots based on the return code.  My testing was done with Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64.

    Like said, did you configure my proposal: "Configuration Manager client will force a mandatory device
    restart" ? After you've configured that, update your deployment type manually and remove the old revisions of the application and try running the TS again. I'm guessing you're a little bit too fast on your doings so the ConfigMgr doesn't play a long very
    nicely...
    The TS stops because of your Hard Reboot (exit code 1641), I've seen this before and I configured my application so that ConfigMgr client will force device restart and that fixed my problem. Although, also my application is the last one in the TS, but still,
    the TS continues after the reboot.
    Btw. have you tried changing your command line to:
    msiexec.exe /i cd-ord.msi TRANSFORMS=sv-se.mst MVLICENSE_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /L*V "%temp%\cdord.log" /qn
    /norestart

  • I get an error message File too large for formatted drive when trying to copy a large video file (~50GB) to a new 64 GB USB drive.  Any thoughts?

    I am copying from a MAC to the new drive - not sure the format of the USB drive, whatever the SANDISK Cruzer is default formatted to..

    You state that Cruzer is formatted which is proably FAT32. FAT32 has limits on file size of 4 GB.
    Since you are copying larger files then you will need to reformat.

  • UDI OSD Task Sequences started failing with 0x80070002 error in SCCM 2012

    This is kind of long, but here goes...
    We built a UDI task sequence in SCCM 2012 (with MDT integration) that we were testing for deployment of a couple of different Win7 images.  We customized the UDI experience thru the UDI wizard and XML file and OS deployment worked as expected
    thru the task sequence (testing on Hyper-V VMs). Recently, this UDI TS started failing with error 0x80070002  during what appears to be the "Use Toolkit Package" step.  This is after the OS image has already been laid down and after the ConfigMgr
    client has been installed/configured.  The SMSTS.log reports "Failed to open the task sequence key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Task Sequence.  Error code 0x8007002"  Among other errors...I will post the entire log below...
    After the error during deployment, Win7 will boot normally, however, you have no network connectivity and it appears the proper network driver didn't get loaded in the OS. Combine this with the fact that the TS should have joined the machine to our domain,
    but you can't login because no network.. Im not sure if the network issue is a product of the TS failing early or the actual cause of the TS failure. 
    Anyway, I attempted to build another UDI task sequence using the same boot image and toolkit/settings packages, but am experiencing the same error during deployment.  We have a few OSD task sequences built without UDI and those all still work just fine. 
    So, I am at a loss for where the root problem lies.  Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Here is the entire SMSTS.log and BDD.log...

  • Installing "Applications" during the task sequence and installation enforcement

    Hello,
    Kind of a weird question here, so it seems like I'm seeing that if you install an application on a system during its OSD task sequence, then you later manually uninstall that application, that SCCM considers that system now out of compliance? 
    And then reinstalls the application as indicated in AppEnforce.log?  Is this true?  If so, how do you get around this behavior?  I guess I thought that this application compliance only took effect when you actually deploy an application to a
    system, through an actual deployment.  I didn't realize that it would enforce compliance even if an application was installed during a task sequence.  So if you have hundreds of systems that were imaged with the same task sequence and you have
    a small handful of machines that can't have application X on it (so you want to uninstall it), which was installed via the task sequence, how do you disable this compliance enforcement and disable its automatic reinstall?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Sorry for the delayed response, thank you both for your input.  To answer both your questions, no these workstations do not have any required deployments for this application directed at them.  I have confirmed that, however, they do have
    the OSD task sequence deployment (that contains this application) constantly "available" to them (via only "media and PXE") as this makes it very easy for our technicians to reimage any machine whenever they need to (love that feature
    by the way).
    I can only assume that because they still have this task sequence deployment pointed at them is why they continue to attempt to reinstall this application when ConfigMgr finds that it's not installed anymore.  In fact it does it at the same day/time
    each week, which I believe is the same day/time of the week that the machines were imaged.  I must have the compliance part of the clients configuration to check every 7 days for stuff like this?  Anyway, that's my conclusion for now. 
    Since even Wally Mead felt that this must be an actual required deployment outside of the task sequence I'm really curious to see if anyone else sees this behavior.  It would be fairly simple to attempt to recreate, image a machine with a task sequence
    that has "application" installs included, where the deployment for it is just "available" and keep the deployment "available" after the machine is reimaged.  Then after that, uninstall one of the apps that was installed
    during the task sequence via an "application" and then see if it reinstalls automatically, it may wait a while (may 7 days by default?).  You can see the evidence of our application reinstalling itself in the "AppEnforce.log".
    Is it even remotely possible that this is a new "feature" or behavior of ConfigMgr 2012 and "Applications"?

  • OSD Task Sequence fails with "There are no task sequences available for this computer"

    Let me preface this by saying that I have read at least 100 forum posts with people having similar issues. However, none of the solutions in those
    posts have worked for me.
    The Problem: SCCM 2012 R2 will not image unknown computers.
    The task sequence gives the error "There are no task sequences available for this computer." As soon as that error occurs, SCCM places an Unknown entry into the All Systems collection. I have been imaging unknown computers, without fail, for
    4 months and no environmental changes have been made. NOTE: I am using USB media, not PXE.
    What I've Tried:
    Checked for duplicate SMSBIOS GUIDS in the console, none.
    Checked for duplicate MAC Addresses in the console, none.
    Checked for expired certificates, none.
    Recreated Boot Media, twice.
    Deleted the Unknown entry and retried, SCCM just recreates the Unknown entry.
    Deleted all of my task sequence deployments, and then redeployed them each to All Systems (Only Boot Media and PXE) and to Unknown Systems (Only Boot Media and PXE)
    I have also ran the following in the SQL Server Management Studio;
    SELECT
    * FROM
    ResPolicyMap WHERE
    machineid = 0 and
    PADBID IN
    (SELECT
    PADBID FROM PolicyAssignment
    WHERE BodyHash
    IS NULL)
    No result
    Select
    * From
    vMacAddresses Where
    MacAddresses = '00:00:00:00:00:00'
    This displays an entry for every time that I have tried to image the unknown machine attached to the MAC Address with a different ItemKey and SMS_Unique_Identifier for each entry.
    Added the machine manually using Import Computer Information, immediately recognized the Task Sequences that I have advertised to the All Systems collection.
    Any and all assistance is welcome, I am going on the third straight day of dead ends. Below I have tried my best to post the entire SMSTS Log;

  • Failed to run task sequence - 80004005. DNS working though.

    I seem to be getting a fairly common generic error but with possibly with a slight difference then some of the other problems/answers I have seen.  Generally it looks like this is a DNS issue but I am not sure in my case.
    Let me 1<sup>st</sup> describe my infrastructure and what I am trying to accomplish.  System Center 2012 R2, trying to deploy server 2012.  We use PKI on the main MPs/DPs.  I have another DP that I will use for OSD content that
    won’t use PKI.  I am 1<sup>st</sup> attempting to use boot media, vs PXE, to image a computer.  I have distributed the content to the DP, created a boot media USB and everything looks good there as far as I can tell.  My boot media
    selects the PKI MP and we have created the client cert and I direct it to the non-http DP.  The process seems to accept the certificate and the boot media creation completes.  Next boot off the media on the computer and drop into Windows PE where
    I can manually enter the IP information.  When I click next the process fails.
    Error:
    Failed to Run Task Sequence
    An error occurred while retrieving policy for this computer (0x80004005).
    So starting some of the troubleshooting I F8.
    -Can I ping the SCCM site servers?  Yes, I can ping, both short and FQDN, the primary, MP, DP.
    Looking at the SMSTSLog I see the following lines/errors.
    1)Failed to open PXE registry key.  Not a PXE boot.
    2)Failed to find the source drive where WinPE was booted from
    But then the next line is:  Executing from Media WinPE
    These 2 are at the top of the log and the process seems to continue on with the IP and variable information.  These are the lines of information later in the log with the error(s):
    -CLibSMSMessageWinHTTPTransport::Send:URL: (my MP)
    -In SSL, but with no client cert
    -Error.  Received 0x80072ee7 from WinHttpSendRequest.
    -Hr,HRESULT=80072ee7
    -sending with winhttp failed, 80072ee7
    -m_pHttp Transport -> (etc….)
    -MPKeyInformation.RequestMPKeyInformationForMedia
    -Failed to get information of MP: https//(my MP)
    So I am wondering where I start.  I don’t see that unknown host line that seems to indicate that it is a DNS issue.  I see some stuff about the in SSL but with no cert.  Does this mean that the cert we had to create isn’t working correctly? 
    We pretty much followed
    http://www.jamesbannanit.com/2012/05/how-to-build-and-capture-in-configuration-manager-2012-using-https/
    I have also looked through this
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2009/07/27/a-step-by-step-for-using-osd-through-system-center-configuration-manager-2007.aspx
    And I have pretty much everything done there except a network access account.  Looking at my settings I am set to, “Use the computer account of the Configuration Manager client”  However, my computer I am trying to image is a “WORKGROUP” and not
    joining the domain.  But.. am I really getting that far in the process?  Would I be failing to get policy because of this or does this just come into play when I try to get the OS from the DP?

    Have you seen this thread?

  • Deploy OS task sequence fails when deploying to multiple computers

    Hi gang,
    I'm running into an issue when imaging multiple computers with MDT 2012. Let me give some background info.
    I have installed Windows 7 64 bit on a laptop in audit mode, made my configurations, sysprepped the machine, and captured a .wim using WDS (captured to an external hard drive). I then imported this .wim into MDT, created a Standard Client Task Sequence to deploy
    the image, and successfully deployed it to a machine.
    My problem comes up when I initiate this task sequence on multiple computers simultaneously. If I put 6 computers side-by-side and run the task sequence at the same time, only a couple machines will actually succeed. The rest fail with the following:
    FAILURE ( 5624 ): 2: Run ImageX: /apply "\\CAAPPWN40\DeploymentShare$\Operating Systems\T731 (Final) Windows 7 64 bit May 2013\T731 (Final) Windows 7 64 bit May 2013.wim"

    Error Task Sequence Manager failed to execute task sequence. Code 0x80004005
    BDD.log is saying that "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."
    If I restart the computer, boot back into PXE, and run the task sequence again, this time on it's own (as opposed to 6 computers at once) it works fine.
    Can anyone help?

    I just rebooted the server and tried again, same result.
    I keep getting a "Body text cannot contain links or images until we are able to verify your account" error when posting a hyperlink. I've had my technet account since October... weird.

  • Where to put unattend.xml when using create task sequence media

    SCCM 2012 R2.
    I created a capture task sequence media to a flash drive. I noticed the capture media does run sysprep even though it is not located on the flash drive. Where do I put my customized unattend.xml for sysprep? Does it go in c:\sysprep 
    There is no documentation on this that I can find.

    sysprep doesn't use an unattend.xml file so you don't put it anywhere. You supply a custom unattend.xml during the deployment task sequence which in turn is delivered as part of the TS for use by WIndows Setup (which is what actually uses an unattend.xml
    file). Task Sequence media has nothing to do with sysprep either. I think you may be confusing sysprep with Windows mini-setup. sysprep is the process of generalizing a system generally preparing it to be captured. Windows mini-setup is what runs the first
    time a syspreped system is booted. They are two different things.
    You *can* place an unattend.xml file the image for use by Windows mini-setup -- the locations mini-setup will look for this file are detailed at
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749415(v=WS.10).aspx . But that is rarely done anymore with task sequences because you generally want to dynamically inject an unattend.xml
    file into the process instead of statically placing one in the image -- that defeats the purpose of having a generic reference image. This is done by configuring the Apply Windows step in a deployment task sequence.
    Still, that begs the question posed by narcoticoo. Your reference image(s) should be hardware agnostic, built on a VM, and automated. What you are doing will cause you pain in the long run.
