OS Deployment - Unable to read task sequence, WpeInit.exe does not start automatically

Ok so this is a very very weird one.
this is my first time actually coming to the community for help. I need assistance asap.
I have 4517 systems in SCCM 2007, we have a mixture of PXE enabled offices and offices with just DPs that use boot media for OSD. I use the SAME boot image for our PXE enabled task sequence as I do for our boot media. I create an ISO file for our remote
staff and they in turn use it to OSD in those offices.
We have three offices where no matter what I do WPEInit doesn't seem to run and it either instantly reboots (no network) or prompts with the error message in the title. Interestingly enough if you PXE boot that SAME machine it works fine using the identical
boot image.
We have tired:
- New USB keys
- Different machines
- BIOS defaults
- Legacy settings for UFEI / Defaults
- PXE boot (works fine...)
- Another SCCM Boot image from an earlier Task Sequence (still doesn't work)
- MDT Boot image, works fine...
any clues? What makes these three offices so special that they refuse to work with a boot image that works everywhere else in our Canadian offices?!

I believe this issue has to do with how the USB drive reports its "type." In my testing, a USB drive that reports itself as a "fixed" disk will not work as an SCCM boot disk. They have to be "removable." USB drives that
are certified for Windows To Go for example have NOT worked in my experience, because they report as a "fixed" disk. This is usually a problem with high capacity USB drives.
We found some 16GB USB drives that work great, and they report to the OS as being "removable." DISKPART can tell you whether a driver is fixed or removable. In the screenshot below, the second drive will not boot SCCM. The first drive will.

Unable to read task sequence configuration disk

Target Server is an HP ProLiant BL460c G5
I'm trying to load my reference iso via the iLO connection, mounting the image to the CD drive. I used the same process to create the WIM file on my Source Server and it worked fine. I boot from the CD, it loads windows files, then comes up to
the SCCM screen with the error "Unable to read task sequence configuration disk."
Any ideas what's going on?

In my case I had the same error using SCCM boot media in a USB 3.0 port. Solution was here to use a USB 2.0 port to solve it.
Maybe this will help you:

Service reads data but Bpel process does not start

i have a very simple project. I have db2(as400) adapter and it reads data, i will receive data, transfom and send to oracle database. I deployed the project successfuly but when instance start i see the service reads the data but bpel process does not start and and there is no error. At the flow chart there is only readAS400 partnerlink, there is no bpelprocess. In the partnerlink i am usin polling, i read the data's with 1 and update to 2. It reads but dont update to 2.
In deploy step and when instance starts there is no errors. But when i am deploying i get a warning but i dont know it's related with this situation.
(Warning: property "activationAgent.readAs400.className" may not be understood by BPEL component BPELProcessEqpType - it will likely be ignored.)
Do you have any suggestion ? Thanks in advance.

check the recovery console, the bpel process possibly is going into manual recovery,
Another thing you might wanna try is using checkpoints in your process..
also, instead of getting the db adapter to instantiate the process, try a simpler process just to see if the db adapter is working or not..
A normal process, which you manually instantiate from em console, with the db adapter in it after the recevie activity

Task Sequence (LiteTouch.wsf) does not restart after first logon on Windows 8.1 deployment

Hi guys!
I can't figure out what cause the issue.
First, this is my setup :
ADK installed
MDT 2012 (upgraded from 2010 update 1)
Boot wim regenerated from scratch
LTIApply.wsf edited http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2797676/en-us
Windows 8.1 configured and captured (my first Win 8/8.1 deployment)
New task sequence for that wim.
My issue is :
The task sequence windows won't show up only with windows 8.1 deployment after the first logon. (I tried with a Windows 7 with the same setup, works flawlessly)
I can see the desktop, but nothing show up. I have all the folders and files on the c: (MININT, _SMSTaskSequence LTIBootstrap). I clicked twice on LTIBootstrap, did nothing. I did an LiteTouch.wsf /start, nothing.
I recaptured my Windows 8.1 (it was on a virtual machine) and I did a new TS. The issue still there.
All the SMSOSD logs files are on http://sdrv.ms/18VPSKy
Someone can help me on this? I'll be very happy!
thanks!

Was this ever resolved or does anyone have an idea how to fix it?
I am having a similar issue. I deploy a custom Windows 8.1 image to a system and I get through the OS install, but I end up at the user login screen without the task sequence resuming (thus not running any windows update, doesn't join domain, or any post-install
tasks). The built in administrator account also shows up as disabled.
The only changes I have made to the unattend.xml for that image are *maybe* to fix the IE 10/11 error that crashes the deployment by deleting the IE welcome tag, and I have no choice but to make that change when it happens.

"Unable to read task sequence configuration disk" error message. How solve?

hello guys.
Today I was testing the Windows 7 image on a virtual machine and got the error message as pictured below. Does anyone know what to do to solve?

Hi,
Have you checked the smsts.log? Are you booting from PXE? or USB?
Please bringing up a command prompt in WinPE and running IPConfig confirms that there is no network connectivity.

Reader 8.1.3 installer does not start on Windows 2003 x64

Hello,
i use Windows Server 2003 SP2 as 64 Bit edition on AMD and have installed Reader 8.1.2 successfully. Now i tried to install 8.1.3, which is the most recent of the 8th series i found, and fail because the installer simply does nothing! It starts up and then nothing happens. I've downloaded the EXE several times directly from Adobe with the same result.
What can i do?

Sorry, i still don't get why 8.1.2 runs perfectly (and yes, there is a 64bit support for Windows 2003 Server!) and 8.1.3 did not even start. That makes no sense to me.
And because i want do deploy 8.1.3 even update is no alternative for me.

is there a mechanism, to get the local zenworks logfile up to the server, so i didnt need to have access to the workstation manual?
it looks like, that there are no information in the str file from the workstation, but i didnt have a local logfile yet... :-((

Scanner(Warning) : 027: Unable to read the sequence number from the Workstation object.

Hi
We are having trouble storing inventory scans from some workstations.
We have a windows ONLY environment, with middle tier servers. (ZEN65SP1,
W2KSP4).
Some workstations are storing fine. The Storer function is working and we
can see the storer functions for the 'good' workstations in the Inventory
service window.
However some workstations can't store to the inventory db, but DO populate
eDir ZENworks inventory 'minimal information' but show "Scanner(Warning) :
027: Unable to read the sequence number from the Workstation object." in
the Scan Status...
The Inventory service window shows no attempt by these workstations - it's
almost as though the scan file is not arriving (though eDir knows/displays
the scan file name)
How does the workstation access the scandir in Windows only/middle tier
environment? Does the scan xml stream get sent to the MT via http and then
on to the scandir via CIFS?
Any suggestions/explanations welcome!!
Many thanks
David

027: Unable to read the sequence number from the Workstation object

Environment:
NW 6.5 sp4
Zen 6.5 sp1
We had a problem with our inventory server processing .STR files a couple
months ago - had to turn off inv. policies on workstations while we resolved
it. Now it's resolved and we're running inventory again. We have a large
number of workstations reporting this error:
027: Unable to read the sequence number from the Workstation object
They have no data in the DB, although they do have minimal scan info, and
the last scan status date matches that of the sequence number error.
I've seen this sporadically in the past and have been able to resolve it by
initiating a full scan on the individual workstation. However, that does
not seem to be making a difference this time.
Novell's troubleshooting document basically says see if the server's
running, and see if there's data for the workstation in the db. Then call
tech support.
Any other ideas?

The machines I'm troubleshooting have valid formats for their STR names,
but that doesn't necessarily mean they are valid STR sequence numbers.
Does removing the value in the reg key cause the STR file name to be
recreated?

I've verified that none of our images contain the c:\zenworks history
folder, and we run a script that cleans up any zenworks items before
sysprep (i.e. makes sure there's no registration info on the
workstations, etc). Our imaging scripts also clear any ZIS info to
avoid any duplication as well, so I don't think imaging would be causing
this.

Good tip about the hist.ini file, I didn't know about that. It does not
solve the sequence number error, but it does seem to force a full scan
of the system and cause the new scan to be stored in the DB, which was
not happening before.
Thanks!

Failed to run task sequence. Error occurred while starting the task sequence (0x8007000E)

Hi there
Patch Tuesday yesterday (10th June2014). As always we deploy new patches first to a test collection where Windows 7 updates automatically apply.
Upon trying to rebuild any of the machines in this test collection, we were presented with the following error message:
Failed to run task sequence. Error occurred while starting the task sequence (0x8007000E)
After searching about this, I found this page from Niall Brady, which explained the problem:
http://www.niallbrady.com/2013/05/17/after-selecting-a-task-sequence-in-configuration-manager-2012-sp1-you-receive-threadtoresolveandexecutetasksequence-failed-code0x8007000e-in-smsts-log/
So I removed some of the machines from the test Windows update collection, and as per the advice in the above link, the error was gone and those machines could be built successfully.
So the problem is there were too many many policies downloaded (apps, packages and most of all updates) for the task sequence ram to store, hence the error.
Now...
...I have a question.
The next logical step to my mind is to patch our OS image with all missing patches, so these do not have to be downloaded at build time. Niall mentions this as one of the resolutions to this issue.
However there seems to be some confusion over whether this would actually make a difference.
I read through this link:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7e597b44-2586-4063-b6d0-cec48a7c11c7/sccm-2012-task-sequence-failure-0x8007000e?forum=configmanagerosd
There's seems to be no consensus on this.
Is SCCM 2012 clever enough to - when the task sequence is first started - to download ONLY the updates (policies) it detects as NOT present in the OS image...
or
Will it simply try to download policies for ALL items deployed to it, whether the updates are present in the OS image or not?
I will be disappointed if SCCM 2012 SP1 CU2 isn't clever enough to only download policies at build time for the apps, packages and updates it detects as needed.
I'd be grateful for some clarity on this.
Regards,
John, Glasgow.

Hi Jason
Thank you for replying, I appreciate it.
1) We currently have 15 or 16 software update groups for Office updates, dating back a month or two. The latest software update group contains all the patches in the previous software update groups plus the patches released on 10th June. Do you recommend
deleting all but the latest software update group?
2) I'm almost reluctant to ask this, but based on what you have advised, is it the case that when the task sequence executes, it will download policies for each update in each software update group regardless of whether it has already downloaded a policy
for an update in a previous software update group? So in effect it's downloading policies (for updates) it has already downloaded?
3) I'm not clear on why there would be no policy for an image; in Niall Brady's informative page on the 8007000E error, he writes the following:
"The reason it has run of space could be due to four possibilites: too many applications, too many Windows updates, too many Task Sequence steps, too many referenced packages'.
Can you shed some light on why there isn't a policy for an image?
Thanks again for replying,
John.

Just installed Firefox 3.6. Firefox will not start and Firefox safemode does not start either. Using Task manager I do not see if started either. If I create a new profile and start from that window, Firefox starts up. I see no error windows/messages. I do have it listed in my Firewall as an exception program with Permit All. What is happening?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Reader version listed in GUI does not match that of executable file (again)

I posted regarding this issue before (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4817948), but was never able to find an answer.
Presently I am deploying Adobe Reader 10.1.5 via the MSI installer and group policy. The issue is that a user shut down her Windows 7 computer midway though the MSI installation interrupting (i.e. screwing up) the installation process. I had to delete a few registry entries and reboot the user's PC in order to re-initiate the Reader installation (something I've done in the past).
To verify that Reader was installed sucessfully, I browse to the Reader executable (AcroRd32.exe) in Program Files, double click the executable, select About Adobe from the Help menu, check the version number in the information box and see that the version number is 10.1.4 (i.e. the old version that I am upgrading from). However, when I browse to the Reader executable (AcroRd32.exe) in Program Files and and open the file properties, I see that the version is 10.1.5 (i.e. the new version that I am upgrading to).
So the Reader version listed in GUI does not match that shown in the executable property box.
This is the second time that this has happened with a Windows 7 PC. I've never experienced this sort of thing with a Windows XP PC.
Why is the version number different in the GUI? Where is the version number read in from for the GUI? The registry? Can anybody shed some light on this situation?

Let me clarify that the tool posted on http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html is not the uninstaller for Reader. Instead it is a cleaner tool used for any botched up installation as mentioned above. This utility should only be used in rare circumstances. Instead reader has its own uninstaller which can be used through ARP (Add Remove Programs) in Windows or you can also use the command line "msiexec /x AcroRead.msi" to uninstall Reader.
Thanks,

Adobe Reader for the BlackBerry PlayBook Showstopping Issue: App does not start

Hello;
I would like to report an issue with the Adobe Reader app for the BlackBerry PlayBook which renders the application fully unusable. This issue occurs everytime. This issue has been tested and verified to occur in two distinct BlackBerry PlayBook devices.
Here is a screenshot stating what version (10.0.3.325) of the Adobe Reader app I have installed:
This, I understand, is the latest version for my platform. Unfortunately, the application does not start. Attempting to run it results in a blank screen after showing the BlackBerry logo. The blank screen can be seen in the following screenshot:
It is also strange that the application does not appear in the Application Permissions list, as seen in the following screenshot:
Is there a fix for this showstopping issue? What steps should I take?

Same issue here. Playbook support knows about it, and referred to Adobe. The Adobe forum has this comment. Looks like our Playbooks are abandoned as a platform.
"Mar 4, 2012 7:20 PM
As the tablet market continues to evolve, we continue to evaluate how to best support the market and where to focus on our resources. Because of this, Adobe has decided to end its support of the RIM QNX Playbook devices in March 2012. This means the ability to create new applications for submission to the RIM store will no longer be possible in Adobe Viewer Builder as well as the ability to rebuild existing targets for new releases of Digital Publishing Suite. Any existing QNX targets will be removed from the manage view inside Viewer Builder".
