Manual formatted for C: and D: drive Via SCCM 2012 task sequence

Dear All
i have a problem with the formatting of the HDD by using SCCM 2012 , our Co. have laptops with C: &
D: drive and we started to implement our W7 migration by using SCCM 2012 and we face the a problem which is how to keep the data of the D drive either during the deploy the new W 7 image our after we deployed the image with C and D drive .
we create a task sequence to format the whole HDD and then make two partition .
but our target to keep the old users data in D: drive in case of system crash .
so can we do the format issue manually via  task sequence to can control the size of the HDD and just
format the C: drive
i read in internet there is a Disk partition script can be apply during the task sequence activity to control
the formate issue.
or to stop the formatte issue for D: drive via SCCM.

Dear  EminM
thanks
for your replay 
you are right i mean the laptop has C and D partition 
we make a TS which was  configure to crate two partition 
After we complete our Task sequence we face problem that TS format the two partition and that mean  we will loss the data in D partition in case we need to apply this TS in the future to any laptop has system crash .
our target to have TS just format the C partition and leave the D partition without any action to be able to save the data in the D partition without any corrupted.
for that do you have an idea to do that TS .

  • Lenonvo T440 with Intel SSD SC2BF240A4L - failing to install apps via SCCM 2012 task sequence

    Hi there
    Wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue with a T440 with Intel SSD hard disk.
    Our firm purchased two Lenovo T440 laptops. One has a magnetic hard disk, the other a SSD hard disk. Here are the models:
    SSD hard disk:           Intel SSDSC2BF240A4L
    Magnetic hard disk:   500Gb 7200rpm HTS725050A7E635
    We deploy our Windows 7 build via a SCCM 2012 task sequence.
    Building the T440 with the magnetic hard disk was trouble free. I built it repeatedly, and encountered no errors; our core applications installed successfully every time and the task sequence completed successfully every time.
    All well and good.
    Building the T440 with the Intel SSD hard disk has been frustrating. When I run the task sequence on this machine, 8 times out of 10 the task sequence will fail, either stopping abruplty at installing Oracle Single-Sign On or Appsense agents. When the task sequence fails it is ALWAYS at one of these two apps. 
    Frustratingly, sometimes the task sequence will complete successfully on this T440.
    Given we successfully deploy this task sequence to a variety of different hardware from different vendors, including other Lenovo laptops, I can only guess the Intel SSD hard disk is the culprit. 
    Has anyone encountred anything like this? I've went through the smsts.log file and other SCCM log files and can find nothing obvious. That this ONLY happens on the T440 with the SSD suggests to me the issues lies in that direction.
    I'll swap disks in either T440 to see if the other T440 fails also with the SSD aboard, to see what happens.
    Meantime if anyone has any information about this issue I'd be grateful if you coud share.
    Thanks

  • 16-Bit App Support for SCCM 2012 Task Sequence / WinPE 4.0

    I'm not sure if what we're trying to do is even possible, but I am hoping it is.  I wrote a little script to check the BIOS asset tag info and if it isn't a valid numeric number it prompts in the task sequence to enter the correct asset tag number. 
    We're trying to do this so we have it on a custom SCCM report for inventory tracking.  The problem is the Acer utility is 16-bit and it kicks back an error in WinPE saying that
    you don't have access to run 16-bit applications and to check your permissions with your system admin.  Where does WinPE store these permissions?  I know where they are in GPO's but not for SCCM's WinPE.

    I guess that it has nothing to do with permissions. WinPE is missing the 16bit subsystem in total as far as I know.

  • Latitude E6330 BSOD via SCCM 2012 R2 OSD

    Hi All,
    I'm currently struggling to build some Latitude E6330 laptops via SCCM 2012 R2 CU3 OSD . I'm getting a BSOD with error code 0000007E after the drivers are applied and the laptop reboots.
    I've built nearly 100 OptiPlex desktops without issue from the same server. I've tried both the A09 and A10 E6330 driver CABs, and both have the same issue. I was having an issue even building the boot image with these drivers, but removed a faulty driver
    before importing them into SCCM (Conexant USB Modem driver) which resolved that issue. I'm assuming that the removal of this driver wouldn't be causing the BSOD - but I'm currently trying to find a replacement driver to see if that resolves it anyway.
    I've tried using 'Auto Apply Drivers' and 'Apply Driver Package' in the task sequence, using a WMI query and also without a WMI query to no avail. I've blown away all previous drivers, imported only the A09 and then blew away + imported only the A10
    drivers, rebuilt the driver packages and re-added to the boot image numerous times. Yep I've been distributing/updating distribution points each time too :)
    Unfortunately I can't get onto the laptop to check the smsts/setupact/etc etc logs because it blue screens even in safe mode.
    My last resort will be to add just the network+HDD drivers, and then slowly add drivers until I figure out what driver is causing the BSOD. Unfortunately this would be quite a lengthy procedure, so I'm hoping that someone has had a similar problem and
    may know which driver could be causing me this grief.. Or perhaps could point me in a different direction as to what may be causing this issue....
    Thanks for your time.

    Are you trying to deploying Windows 7 to the laptops?
    If so does your WIM file include the platform update (how long has it been since you created / updated it)? If not then you may need to update / capture a new wim and try again. 
    A lot of newer drivers will cause this sort of problem if you try and inject them into an older wim file.
    If this isn't the case, then I have had this happen to me a long time ago with a webcam driver so maybe exclude these drivers first? A long shot though.
    Cheers

  • ITunes Settings for Media on External Drive via Airport Extreme...

    iTunes Settings for Media on External Drive via Airport Extreme base station versus plugging directly into laptop.
    My current configuration is that my iTunes Media (700gb) are all stored in an External Drive that's plugged into my Airport Extreme Base Station. This works great for me having wireless access to my iTunes external drive.
    Whenever I need to back up that hard drive with Time Machine, I just plug it directly to my laptop...
    But how do I let iTunes (or iTunes library) know that this is the same hard drive where all my media is stored when it's plugged directly into the laptop as opposed to trying to access it from my Airport Extreme network?

    No there isnt any files call library in the folder i created I am now in the process of copying them back but I guess I will loose all my playlists and playcounts. I do have a Copy of my drive that i made with carbon copy cloner. So maybe it will be best to boot from there, restore and start again.
    Chris it was just the media folder. I was following the instructions on the apple support page. Got to point 14 didn't get the warning but did seen to have a brand new itunes, so emptied the trash as they said expecting everything to be fine but it wasnt.

    Hi All
    need CAS and three primary hierarchy SCCM 2012 r2 can i get any runbook from microsoft for Step by step installation
    need step by step installation guide with screenshots.

    There's a lots of installation guide but each guide is for a "standard" installation, your environment is unique and you should get help to be sure to implement SCCM to fulfill your needs.
    Installing SCCM without any experience will be tricky and maintain it will be even harder. This is not a simple product.

  • ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2nd+OneLinkPro Dock = No IP Address During Imaging (OSD) via SCCM 2012 R2

    I'm trying to image a second generatoin X1 Carbon that also has a OneLinkPro dock attached via SCCM 2012 R2.
    The USB stick is plugged into the dock, as is Ethernet & power.
    When I boot into the preinstallation environment, I don't have an IP address.
    The USB stick is fine - works on all 26 other devices here
    The network cable is fine - I'm able to get an IP & image from other systems
    I tried two OneLinkPro docks, same problem on both
    If I use the Ethernet adapter, it works fine
    I'm convinced its a driver issue at this point.
    I was directed to www.lenovo.com/onelinkdrivers to locate OneLink dock drivers, and I've downloaded the package.
    The downloaded EXE (tp_onelink_dock.exe) extracts to C:\SWTOOLS\DRIVERS\Dock by default
    In C:\SWTOOLS\DRIVERS\Dock you have another EXE Setup_OneLink_Dock_Lenovo_v10826.exe
    This immediately launches an installshield setup (run from %temp%)
    There no options to extract the drivers - it just installs the drivers, and none of the switches I've thrown at it have yielded any results.
    I found a data1.cab file but I can't seem to extract anything with 7Zip or expand
    How are folks with second gen X1 Carbons who use SCCM for OSD successfully imaging those machines with the OneLinkPro dock? (without the use of the Ethernet adapter of course.)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Fauxlution:
    Install drivers on an x86 machine
    Navigate to C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Onelinkdock (or something like that)
    Grab the driver directories & save them elsewhere
    Repeat process for x64 machine because the installer will only install drivers for the architecture of the system its run on.  (x86 system = x86 drivers; x64 system = x64 drivers)
    Clean up the drivers (extra non-essential files in there)
    Import both sets of drivers into SCCM
    Bake architecture specific Realtek drivers into boot image
    Couldn't be simpler.  

  • SCCM OSD and MDT 2012 - Task Sequence query

    Hi All
    I have single server SCCM 2012 R2 server with MDT 2013 successfully integrated. I'm looking to create a 'Sysprep and Capture' type Task Sequence within SCCM, so that this can be done via PXE rather than SCCM's more manual 'Capture Media' method.  Just
    wondering if anyone has thoughts on this, experience, pointers etc?
    Couple of options that look possible are:
    MDT Toolkit Package - include in SCCM based Task Sequence.  Would it then be fairly easy to mimic ts steps detailed in MDT's existing 'Sysprep and Capture' TS, but within SCCM?
    SCCM TS Steps - I've seen there are a number of TS Steps that look like they may enable OS Capture, but if so, bit confused there isn't more documented \ blogged on this kind of TS, would have thought this was a common requirement for a
    SCCM TS? (TS Steps of interest within SCCM: 'Prepare Windows for Capture' and 'Capture Operating System Image')
    Any assistance much appreciated!
    Kind Regards
    Andrew

    There is a bit of debate about the best way to capture reference images.  Check out this good blog that reviews the options:
    http://www.deploymentresearch.com/Research/tabid/62/EntryId/163/The-battle-begins-Building-the-perfect-reference-image-for-ConfigMgr-2012.aspx
    Having said that, you can certainly create a capture task sequence in SCCM.  If you choose to create a new task sequence,you should see a build and capture option.  Simply create a build and capture task sequence and then remove the build steps. 
    You will be left with:
    I've used this method in certain cases.
    Or as you said, if you are integrated with MDT, you can create an MDT task sequence to do the capture or add MDT steps as needed.
    Hopefully that helps!

  • Lync 2013 x64 silent client deployment via SCCM 2012 SP1

    Greetings everyone!
    I ran into a problem with Lync 2013 x64 silent deployment.
    I need to provide every workstation with Lync 2013 client, so i decided to use deployment via SCCM 2012 sp1.
    I created 2 msp files with OCT, one based on x86 Office 2013 Proplus, and other based on x64 Office 2013 Proplus.
    Added them as applications to sccm software library.
    Deployment of Lync 2013 x86 application was a success with over than 80% compliance. 
    But all Lync 2013 x64 automatic installations finish with different errors.
    I created special device collection for workstations with office 2010 x64 and 2013 x64, because i can't install other architecture products once it has x64 product installed.
    My membership query-rules for this collection:
    Office 2013 x64
    select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
    = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90150000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
    Office 2010 x64
    select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
    = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90140000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
    My application deployment type points to setup.exe in office 2013 x64 installation folder, where i created msp file in updates folder via OCT and edited config.xml file in proplus.ww folder.
    So my installation program looks like this setup.exe /adminfile updates\1lync.msp /config proplus.ww\config.xml
    The same configuration works with Lync 2013 x86 deployment, except other setup folders.
    When i try running installation program setup.exe with /adminfile and /config parameters locally, it installs successfully without errors or warnings.
    I'm trying to find out problem source, does anyone have ideas what I am doing wrong?
    Also i'm trying to reduce office 2013 installation folder size, what subfolders are necessary for Office 2013 proplus installation (still installing only lync with common files and tools)? Because now 3.5 GB package is quite hard to distribute to sccm secondary
    sites with deployment point.
    Thanks in advance.

  • App-V 5.0 SP2 user applications published via SCCM 2012 to VDI workstations with roaming only

    Hi,
    The environment consists of App-V 5.0 SP2 (KB2956985) user based applications published via SCCM 2012 to Windows 7 VDI snapshotted workstations that are reset at user logoff.
    When a user logs on the SCCM 2012 client initiates App-V client package publishing.  After a couple of minutes after logon the shortcuts appear and the user can launch their applications.
    The issue is that at logoff, even with roaming enabled, the publishing information disappears.  This causes the next logon process for that user to repeat, the applications are not available until the SCCM client has completed it's publishing cycle. 
    Roaming profiles are implemented. %APPDATA% is redirected to a UNC path.  The following registry key is set
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppV\Client\Integration\PreserveUserIntegrationsOnLogin=1
    U-EV, global publishing of applications, and AppLocker rules are not an option.  Also, I have read this already - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn659478.aspx#BKMK_PE
    I do not want to wait for the SCCM client to kick in prior to the user applications being available.  What do I need to roam or run to create a seamless transition for the user between sessions? 
    Eddie.

    Hi Tywin (bad username considering the last GoT Episode ;))
    If you ask Microsoft, they always recommend using SCCM for deploying App-V packages and reuse your current SCCM infrastructure if that is already in place. Problem is, as you now experience, is that there is some big caveats both in regards to publishing
    time and to roaming of settings.
    As Nické states I would suggest looking into the Full Infrastructure Model for App-V 5.x, which gives you much better performance in what I call "from no apps" to "being able to click the shortcut" - the add and publishing phase. If you don't have the time/budget/whatever
    to start looking into that, you could look into some community tools like App-V Scheduler which is developed specific by Citrix guys to ease the publishing and management in a Citrix world.
    Microsoft have a great article about Performance Guidelines, which you have read, but it mostly presumes you work with Full Infrastructure. Have you looked into Steve Thomas' session from TechEd NA? It talks about "implementation trends".

  • Sccm boot from thumb drive - failed to find task sequence.

    The computer should be generating its own netbios name when booting but what is happening when booting from 
    the SCCM 2012 thumb drive FAILED TO FIND TASK SEQUENCE to grab image off of network drive.
    When I real the SMSTS.log file it is getting its name pulling names off of computers that are in AD.
    ALERT ALERT! ALERT!

    Run this query for the MAC and see if there are any results. Could be that the MAC is assigned to a machine already and you either need to deploy the OS to a collection and add that machine to the collection, or it is possible the GUID is duplicated.
    select SYS.netbios_name0, SD.itemkey, MAC.MAC_Addresses0, SD.SMS_Unique_Identifier0,SD.Hardware_ID0,SD.Name0,SD.Unknown0,SD.Obsolete0,SD.Active0,SD.Decommissioned0,SD.Creation_Date0,SD.SMBIOS_GUID0
    from System_DISC SD FULL JOIN
    v_r_system SYS ON SD.itemkey = SYS.resourceid FULL JOIN
    System_MAC_Addres_ARR MAC ON SD.itemkey = MAC.ItemKey
    --where SD.Unknown0 = 1
    where MAC_Addresses0 = '%:AD:D5'
    --OR SD.SMBIOS_GUID0 = ''

  • Shockwave 12.0.0.112 MSI errors when installing via SCCM 2012

    I am experiencing the same type of issue i have entered a bug report for Flash Player.
    Upon pushing the vendor provided MSI via SCCM 2012, the uninstall of the older version 11.6.8.638 which is pushed enterprise wide, is removed from the machine, but the installation of the new 12.0.0.112 is not actually installing.  The log file that was on the machine from the command line we use shows this error:
    MSI (s) (A8:FC) [08:02:03:374]: Product: Adobe Shockwave Player 11.5 -- Error 2753.The File 'swhelper_1159620.exe' is not marked for installation.
    Anyone else seeing this happening or getting the same issue when installing Shockwave 12.0.0.112 with the vendor provided MSI for distribution?

    I didn't have any installation issue on Windows XP 32 bit and Windows 7 64 bit.
    You didn't say anything about your OS, btw.
    And that swhelper_1159620.exe is a legacy (it's not related to the previous v11.6 or the current v12 installations).
    For future, to get rid of installation issues, use the UNinstaller first of all:

  • Trying to deploy a VB Script via sccm 2012 R2

    Hello All
    This is my first attempt at deploying a script via SCCM 2012 R2 and I seem to be stuck. Essentially what this script does is map a printer. The script on its own works fine. Meaning it works when I double click it and also running it from the command
    line. Its  when I try to use in sccm things go down hill. I have tried the following from the command line in the package properties.
    \\my-sccm-server\Sources\Applications\VBSripts\cscript.exe Impact.vbs
    \\my-sccm-server\Sources\Applications\VBSripts\Impact.vbs 
    Phil Balderos

    looks good :)
    You can check execmgr.log on the client to monitor the install as it is running.
    Thank Richk,
    Still no luck. Here is the output from execmgr.log. Its saying that is completed but nothing ever happens. I am about ready to throw in the towel on this one but I just feel like that is should work because its such a simple script.
    Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
    WshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\srv-gtt-papercut\followme"
    WshNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\srv-gtt-papercut\followme"
    Phil Balderos
    Is the script running as an Admin ,if so then you likely set the printer up for the local system user account and not anyone else.
