Windows server 2012 Datacenter Hyper-V Cluster -- Failed to validate Operating System Installation Option?

Hi I have a 4 node Windows server 2012 Hyper-V cluster. When I try to run a cluster validation report, everything else is fine but it fails at validate the Operating System Installation Option step. I did some research but couldn't really find any solution.
Anyone knows how to pass this test? Thanks.
Here's the error I get when run the test:
An error occurred while executing the test.
The operation has failed. An error occurred while getting the operating system installation option for node "server1"

Hi JasonLiu2002,
Please post the original error information, the current information is so wide that difficult to determine where may have issue and please offer more information about your
server configuration, you can refer the following article to prepare your cluster environment first.

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.

"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!
Ben K.

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. :)

SCCM 2012 - Adding Operating System Installer (The specified path does not contain a valid operating system ..)

I have encountered the dreaded "The specified path does not contain a valid operating system or you do not have permission to access it. Specify a valid path" message that seems to be popular in many forums .... BUT, so far none of the "solutions"
have fixed the problem (of I don't understand the fix)
Configuration
SCCM 2012 SP1 5.0.7804.1000
WADK 8.100.26629.0 < Suggested Fix
Server 2008 R2
SCCM Administrator with UserID = SCCMAdmin
Steps / Fixes I have followed
I have configured a administrative share
\\caleb\sources$ to hold directories (such as Apps, Drivers, and OS) with the following NTFS Permissions
EVERYONE has Read and Execute, List folder, Read permissions<o:p></o:p>
SYSTEM has Full Control
<Suggested Fix
SCCMManagers (our group that has all SCCMManagers) has Full Control<o:p></o:p>
SCCMAdmin (the SCCM Admin account that we are using to import image) has Full Control<o:p></o:p>
Local Administrators (the local machine administrator) has Full Control
<Suggested Fix
<o:p></o:p>
Another Fix is to explicitly grant all permissions to the SCCM Administrator
<Suggested Fix
>Administrative Users ...
Properties of the SCCM Administrator (for us that is SCCMAdmin) has all the boxes checked<o:p></o:p>
Another suggestion I was able to glean was to Specify the Network Access Account
so I configured SCCMAdmin as the Network Access Account.
Another potential fix is that the image ISO file that has been downloaded is corrupt.   So, I downloaded the Win 7 (and Win 8.1) ISO's from MSDN and did a Checksum check.
I then mounted the ISO (on 2008R2 I use VirtualClone Drive) and copied the contents of the image to
E:\Sources\OS\en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_vl_build_x86_dvd_u_677896 for Windows 7 with SP1
To double check,
I computed the Hash on the Install.WIM located in the Sources directory and compared with
the computed Has Tag for the Install.WIM on the ISO Image ... and the Hash tag of the WIM's matched (extracted vs what is contained within the ISO)<o:p></o:p>
I tried to load the images into SCCM 2012 using the "Operating System Installers" option
UNC to installer
\\caleb\sources$\OS\en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_vl_build_x86_dvd_u_677896
Then I receive the lovely message <o:p></o:p>
"The specified path does not contain a valid operating system or you do not have permission to access it. Specify a valid path"<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>

Is the operating system installation specific to the particular machine?

If I move the os harddrive (which is leopard 10.5.1 + all applications) into a new machine, would it work? Both are intel machines and I'm trying to avoid not only downtime in setting it up but also this setup is very stable....BUT I don't want to do this if the installation is specific to the machine on which it is installed and doing it this way would cause me more headaches than time. Thanks

It depends. All new Macs come with a set of Software Restore discs. The version of OS X on the discs is often specific to that model - a special build. The retail version sold by Apple may contain a build that does not work on machines made after the retail version was released. For example, the 10.5 version of Leopard released last October will not work on the 2008 models because the new models require a later build (or even a later version.) The Early 2008 Mac Pros are delivered with a version of 10.5.1 that is not the same as the version installed by the 10.5.1 standalone updater.
It's reasonable to assume that whatever version of the operating system is on the gray labeled discs that come with a Mac, it is not compatible with a different Mac model.
Furthermore, if you install any version of OS X on one computer you cannot install that same version on another Mac at the same time without violating the license agreement unless you have either a Family Pak 5 machine license or a site license.

Operating System Image VS Operating System Installer - what does everyone recommend and which is quicker?

I have worked out that all of the configuration in our windows 7 image can be applied through the task sequence after the operating system is installed. Currently we apply and image and then add configuration.
I am wondering would I be better off just adding a Windows 7 installer instead of imaging? Which method would be quicker?
Would be interested to see how everyone does this.
One thing to consider is windows updates, as if we have an image (WIM file) we can inject updates to it through software update point on patch Tuesday to save having to apply them through the task sequence. We can't inject updates into the installer so time
taken to install 100 odd patches has to be taken into consideration.

The only reason to use an Installer post SP1 is for legacy OSes like XP or Server 2003 where no image actually exists on the media. Pre-SP1, there were issues with drive letters because of an on-going, back-and-forth mis-match of assumptions between the
Windows team and the ConfigMgr that required you to build an image from the actual installer. This was resolved in SP1 through the use of the OSDPreserveDriveLetter task sequence variable. There's a also a supportability issue when using an OS Installer --
I don't remember the details off hand though I know I wrote about them in the unleashed book if you are curious.
Thus, unless you are deploying XP or 2003, you should be using images only -- either image.wim directly (which you really should only use in a build and capture) or yur recaptured image.

GP60 operating system installation trouble

Afternoon.
Im having some trouble installing Win7 Pro on my new GP60 which does not currently have an operating system.
I turn it on and get the message:
Secure Boot Violation
Invalid signature detected. Check Secure Boot Policy in Setup.
Ive had a root round in the setup but am wary about modifying stuff and unintentionally breaking it forever.
Can anyone throw me a bone?

Go into the bios and disable secure boot.

Premiere CS5 - Project Monitor playback is jerky after resintall of operating system and CS5

PROBLEM: Premiere CS5 - Project Monitor playback is jerky
This had NOT been an issue prior to reinstalling the operating system and all software. I have read numerous articles on the forums and have tried everything I can find...with no results.
STEPS TAKEN TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM:
I have scoured the articles here http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=choppy%20video&cat=support&pr oduct=premierepro and others at Cretive Cow
I have installed all updates for CS5 Master Collection, immediately following a fresh install of the operating system and SC5 Master Collection.
I have ensured that sequence settings match resolution and frame rates of footage - the problem persists.
I have tested by importing both standard def AVI files created from tape and high def SONY MP4 files - the problem persists.
I have ensured the latest Video drivers are installed (clean installation selected, so that the Windows default would be removed) - the problem persists.
I have tried the 3D settings in NVIDIA control panel | Program Settings tab... selected Adobe Premiere Pro from the drop down menu | and chaged 'Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration from the value of 'Multiple Display performance' to the value of 'single display performance'; although, I ran two monitors before using this latest NVIDIA video driver and I didn't experience this jerky footage issue - the problem persisted after affecting that change; so, I switched it back.
Since I have 96 GB of RAM, I don't use a pagefile. A zero MB page file is the same setting I had prior to rebuilding the C: Regardless of whether I have a pagefile or not, the problem persists.
I have tried creating a fresh user profile, where the user profile is created on the C: drive by default; and, where I left it there on C: to test for the jerky playback in a new PrPR project - the problem persists.
Regarding the C: (system drive) and why I reinstalled everything, it had become unstable and was locking up. I ran DISK ERROR CHECKING with the FIX parameter and the system was still locking up on me. Keep in mind that the System drive is a solid state drive. Anyhow, I had no choice but to dive in and reinstall everything. I wiped the system partition of the SSD using quick format and started installing the operating system. Now, I've read the CLAIM that this cuases performance issues; but, the only place I see issues is in the video monitor playback in PrPr. Everything else - Office applications...printing...browsing the Internet...works just fine, everything is responsive, whereas, I couldn't do ANYTHING with it before.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION:

Thank you.

I'VE RESOLVED THE PROBLEM!
PREFACE:
OK, I am hoping that through this week-long Operating-System-and-Software-reinatalltion excerise of mine, I have revealed something that everyone -- whom have been cursing Adobe over -- can apply to their systems to resolve this jerky video problem within PremierePro CS5 (and quite possibly other versions, too).
If you've read my post above, you've seen all the steps I've taken to resolve the problem. I've read many posts, some of which have mentioned hardware upgrade / opitmization steps that one may take to enhance performance, and hopefully resolve the problem. I've read where people have taken these steps and have still experienced the problem...and then they curse Adobe. Fer-shame, fer-shame, fer-shame! (nod to Gomer Pyle).
In my case, I knew it wasn't an Adobe issue, as it had worked flawlessly before; and, it wouldn't require a hardware upgrade or reconfigureation, as my system is completely maxed out with two processors, a system drive and a hardware RAID5 array, a CUDA-suported nVIDIA 4800 FX card, and 96 GB of RAM. bla bla bla, puke...whatever. Bottom line is this:
It's not a software issue. It's not and Adobe issue; and Gawd no! It's NOT a PC vs. Mac issue! HA HA. The software had worked swimmingly well prior to the reinstallation / 'lobotomy' I perfomed on the system drive.
SOLUTION FOR ME:
Download and install the updated drivers for the motherboard. Mine is an Intel Workstation Board S5520SC. Intel has an INTEL DRIVER UPDATE UTILITY which automatically scaned my Intel system and identified drivers which needed updating. A very handy, time-saving tool!!! Here's the URL: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?iid=dc_iduu
The scan revealed two Intel drivers needing an update:
Intel Chipset
Wired Networking
and one non-intel driver:
Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-fi
I downloaded and installed these three drivers, rebooted, and tested PremierePro, and was extatic to find this resolved the problem.
If you have a motherboard from another manufacturer, then you may want to navigate over to their wibsite to locate chipset and other updated drivers for your motherboard.
ROOT CAUSE:
While Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate was able to install certain default drivers during the Operating System installation (keeping in mind that this was done on an Intel Solid State Drive that I formatted using Quick Format) these default chipset drivers apparently weren't current and were ultimately the root cuase of the jerky video playback within PremierePro CS5.
Peace

Oracle Reports & Operating System Resolution

Cloning the operating system only.

Hello,
If I want just to clone the operating system (Mac OS 10.4.10) to another disk for booting and cloning, which part of the existing folders do I have to clone? I know that I have to clone "System", "Library", "Application". What else?
Thanks.
Robert

You can't really selectively clone your operating system.
What you can do is clone everything, add a second user account to your clone, and delete the user account with all the data on it in the clone.
Or you can just use the operating system installation disks to install just the operating system on the external hard drive. Mac OS X will install onto most Firewire external hard drives.
Here's my FAQ* on cloning and backing up:

Software Center showing Application Task Sequence as Operating System

I have created a custom task sequence and it includes 2 applications. The first one uninstalls an app using a batch file and the 2nd TS installs a new version. The problem is that software center is showing type Operating System so when I click
on it to install, it gives a message about installing an operating system and it may delete/format the drive.
Is there a setting I need to change so it sees it as an application rather than an OS? I have other application Task Sequences that show as application rather than Operating System...
Thanks
Rick Ray

That's by design. And by design Task Sequences were meant for Operating System Deployment, that's why you also get notified about "Operating System Installation" in the Software Center.
You should use SCCM Applications with supersedence to accomplish what you are trying to do:
Do an application for App 1 (your old app)
Do an application for App 2 (your new app)
Configure App2 to supersede App1 (uninstall the App1)
Deploy App2 to your computers
This way the App1 will be uninstalled before the App2 is installed.

Operating System Package Section Window is blank for Task Sequence

Trying to create a capture and build sequence. I have added Win7 x64 to the 'Operating System Installers' section. But when going into 'Create Task Sequence' I dont have any operating systems to select. (see screenshot).
Only info I found on the web references to beta versions of SCCM 2012. I added server is SCCM 2012 R2 Update 1. (version 5.00.7958.1000).
Any Suggestions?

During the Create Task Sequence Wizard, this step requires to use a
Operating System Image (a WIM file) and not a Operating System Installer.
An Operating System Installer can only be used by editing the task sequence after the wizard.

Not only will OUI be affected by this bug, most of the
post-install
configuration tools will also be affected. Running these
tools with "-nojit"
specified will avoid the hang, but it is not simple to specify
"-nojit" for
some of the products.
The following workaround works for the Windows operating
system:
a. Copy only the install directory from the CD to the hard
disk ,say, e:\temp.
b. Open oraparam.ini and make the following modifications
(Assuming CD
drive is f:)
* Change the "SOURCE=" line to use the full path to the CD
instead of a
relative path. (i.e., SOURCE=f:\stage\products.jar)
* Change the "JRE_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the
CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
JRE_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\jre\1.1.7\1\DataFiles
\Expanded)
* Change the "OUI_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the
CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
OUI_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\oui\1.6.0.9.0\1\DataF
iles\Expanded
* Change the "JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS" line to add "-nojit" as the
first argument.
(i.e., JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m)
^^^^^^
* Other entries should remain the same
c. Launch setup.exe from the temporary location on your hard
drive (i.e.
e:\temp\install\win32\setup.exe). This will use the
modified
oraparam.ini and pick up the information from the CD since
the absolute
locations are specified.
Choose a Custom install and choose not to create a database
during the
install. This way, the Database Configuration Assistant will
not be launched
during installation.
The Net8 Configuration Assistant will still be launched, and
there is no way
to suppress it. You will need to kill the Net8 Configuration
Assistant if it
hangs due to the bug. The installation still will have been
successful, and
you can run the DBCA and NetCA after installation.
To kill NetCA if it hangs during installation:
In the "Configuration Tools" window, highlight the "Net8
Configuration
Assistant" and click "Stop". If that does not work, look for
the most recent
JRE process using the Task Manager, and kill it manually.
NOTE: the OUI
itself will also have a jre process. Be sure to kill the one
with the most
recent date, which should be the jre process being used for
Net8CA, not the
one for OUI itself.
After killing the configuration tools and continuing through
the installation
to the "End of Installation" screen, you should modify the
configuration tools
to use "-nojit", then call the appropriate tools from the
Start Menu.
Once installation is complete, each of the following files in
the ORACLE_HOME
needs to be modified:
assistants\dbca\dbassist.cl
assistants\dbma\dbmig.cl
assistants\ifa\ifa.cl
bin\elogin.cl
bin\owm.cl
ldap\oidamdin\oidadmin.cl
network\tools\netasst.cl
network\tools\netca.cl
owm\install\instelogin.cl
owm\install\instowm.cl
Edit the contents of the above files to add "-nojit" as shown
below:
Command=("C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\BIN\JREW" -nojit
-classpath ....
this is the only thing you need to add --> ^^^^^^
Then, launch the necessary tools, like Net8CA and DBCA from
the Start Menu.
Patches
~~~~~~~
Currently there is not a patched installer available to deal
with this
problem, the workaround listed above must be used.

================================================================
The solution of making a local copy of the installation CD on
the hard disk and renameing symcjit.dll to symcjit.old does
work to allow installation of Oracle Client 8.1.7 on a Pentium 4
This function is useful and you can find two file to rename
===============================================================
Windows ME
Solution to the installation of Oraclei8.1.7 PE in Windows Millennium
Oracle does not support installing version 8.1.7 PE into
Windows Millennium.
As an unsupported workaround, you may add the following line
to the [compatibility95] section of win.ini prior to
installation:
Jrew=0x00080000
After setup is complete, Oracle will recommend a reboot.
There is one additional step necessary prior to reboot;
Oracle may add a non-standard path statement to the
autoexec.bat file. Please modify this SET PATH
statement to use short-filenames if you find a quoted
LFN string represented as part of the path. You can
confirm that the path was merged successfully into the
registry after reboot by examining the PATH variable
in the registry at
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Environment
Symptoms of a missing Oracle path statement in the registry are that Net8 Easy Config will not launch.
Please note that Oracle does not support the use of this
product in Windows ME, but have authorized these workarounds
for testing purposes only.
===============================================================
Windows XP Home Edition
Oracle 8i is not certified on windows XP. Even if yes, it must be Windows XP Professional.
You can install Oracle8i on windows XP Home Edition, try like this:
1 - Copy your Oracle CD into hard disk in your
machine. For example Copy from oracle8i CD into C:\Oracle\ ...
2 - Search the two files named Symcjit.dll on the D drive (where you have copied Oracle8i. You can found them in (example):
C:\Oracle\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30\1
\DataFiles\Expanded\jre\win32\bin\symcjit.dll
3 - Rename this file (Example): symcjit_back.dll (make sure to find two files and rename them)
4 - Execute the Oracle setup.exe from C:\Oracle\setup.exe
===============================================================
When Oracle 8i dies on the install or the installer hangs, here is the fix for this, make sure that you have Service Pack 2 installed.
1. \JRE\1.3.1\ From Sun. (You can download java program at http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/jre/download-jre-windows.html)
2. Install the java file.
There is also a problem in the installation disk.
3. Make a copy of the Oracle 8i disk on the local hard disk.
4. Do a search for the two files called symcjit.dll and rename them for example: symcjit.old.
5. Install Oracle from the win32 directory.
