OSD - USB insert media #1 for the task sequence

Hi
I'm creating a standalone media for USB
Step that I did
1. Create a Standalone media to .iso files
2. Diskpart - I prepared the USB using the diskpart command
3. Extract the standalone.iso files in the USB (copy the contents)
everything is work fine, exempt the packages that I included in the stanadlone TS is NOT installed and asking for "insert media #1 for the task sequence"
This issue arise only when I used the USB
Content of T.S (stand alone task sequence)
a. Windows 7 and company standard application
b. Packages 1 : Install the 7Zip
c. Packages 2 : Install the update for the acrobat reader
I don't want to recreate the images due to minor changes and it will consume time also, that's why I added in the T.S place in USB
Please advise , what is wrong
Robert

Hi,
We also get the same problem, and at the time it occurs the USB stick does not show up in notepad, or in diskpart list disk.
It happens after the windows 7 image is apply just as it's trying to install the applications.

Standalone USB 3.0 "insert media #1 for the tasksequence...

Hi,
I have multiple USB 3.0 sticks with the standalone tasksequence (windows 7) on that stop installing.
I can boot i WinPE and the stick is recognized (since I imported the USB drivers in winPE 4.0). So I can start the installation.
However, after the "apply OS image" step and after the "apply driver packages" step the system reboots in the new Windows 7 env to continue the TS but the USB stick is no longer recognized and i'm asked to insert media #1 ...
I have to remove the stick, and put it a second later back in the same USB port, then it gets recognized again and the installation can continue. I tried to resolve the problem by importing the USB3.0 drivers straight into the windows7 OS before my initial
capture... Same problem.
The drivers are there, the stick is just not recognized during the reboot... it only gets recognized when i remove, re-enter it.
This is a problem for years now, but since our new laptops no longer have USB2 ports, it gets a big pain...
Anybody an idea how to solve this ?
Thanks a lot !
Jeroen

Hi,
I suggest you ask this question in Windows 7 forum, you could get better support from there.

Does 2012 OSD get around requirements to get to the MP during the task sequence?

Currently right now I am working in an environment where we are on SCCM 2007, but will be going to 2012 next year. We are in the process of trying to make it so we can build on a secure network that cannot route to any other network. I am prepared to put
a DP out on this same network, but the problem I am running into is that during the task sequence starting, it downloads the task sequence from the MP, not the DP as it is not associated with the package. The MP is not on the same un-routable network. We will
need to have about 6 or so of these, so we do not want to setup 6 MP because now you are looking at not only 6 primary site licenses, but 6 SQL installs (Our environment will not let me get away with doing SQL express for support reasons) which adds up quickly.
Below is a link to exactly what I am speaking about:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2009/04/16/configmgr-2007-primary-site-mp-is-used-for-the-task-sequence-even-when-deploying-osd-images-to-secondary-sites.aspx
What I am wondering is if SCCM 2012 OSD was structured differently in a way that access to the MP is no longer necessary during the task sequence process (say for example the task sequence xml is replicated to DPs too)?
Thanks.

My apologizes. I was meaning to say Primary, Secondary Sites. Not MPs. I brought this up to give reference to idea about the boundaries that I am going to have to use to prevent these clients from contacting DPs they they can't route to.
The idea behind getting off the build network and onto a prod is that security requirements from my companies Infosec require that we limit the amount of traffic on production networks. The idea is that the server be built on the build network, disconnected
and brought into prod. The whole time the MP would be the same, but the DP would switch based on the prod network they were brought into as DP will reside in these prod networks which will get flipped over by the boundary for the prod subnets. Once on the
prod network they would be able to contact the MP.
I would love to do stand-alone media, this is one of the first roads I started looking down as I have done them in the past for offline builds, but I need the machine to auto assign its hostname from a external servers that will script the build. The build
process we are trying to put into place will be started from an external website. My first thought was to have it add the machines to a collection and add a variable that would be turned into a task sequence variable during the TS and use it for the hostname
when it attempt to apply the Windows settings. The only way I think I could get this to work would be to write a script that is executed during the task sequence that would match the MAC address of the machine and assign the hostname by calling on another
share that is written to by the external website with the MAC and hostnames. The only problem that I cannot get around is that this build process needs to be fully automated and this is for both virtual and physical. I have no problems mounting a stand-alone
build ISO using a script for VMWare, but the problem starts when I look at the physical and limitations of scripting for both iLo and iDRAC for performing this step. iLo can be done, but iDRAC is limited.
As for a reverse-proxy I will not be able to look at that. They have specific requirements against using reverse-proxies in only specific situations and this it not allowed. I got turned down on this one. This requirement is created by a federal regulation
my company has to follow.

"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.

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.

OSD - Failed to run Task Sequence. An error occurred while starting the task sequence (0x8007000E).

Failed to run Task Sequence.
An error occurred while starting the task sequence (0x8007000E)."
While OSD, picks up task sequence but fails in resolving task sequence dependencies. SMSPXE identifies device is not in database (unknown).
SMSTS.log shows
ThreadToResolveAndExecuteTaskSequence failed. Code(0x8007000E)" in SMSTS.LOG, have seen other articles suggesting failure due to lack of storage (RAM) but this task sequence has worked in past.
By the way, if I create a stand alone media, we are able to image the workstation. What has changed in the task sequence such that the workstation is unable to download policies due to lack of storage (RAM) on workstation. Workstation has 2 GB of RAM.

I have found a work around for the issue, even though the computer is unknown, there were software updates targeted to the ALL SYSTEMS collection which applies to All Unknown Computers and therefore to x64 Unknown Computer and x86 Unknown Computer.
We had a SCEP ADR applying definition updates to All Systems, we applied the ADR to a different collection, removed all the SCEP updates to All Systems and successfully re-imaged the workstation. Following article was of great help in identifying the problem

"No administrator found for the task" in the front end

Hi all,
My issue is, whenever approval request is raised from the front end ( JAVA WEB-DYNPRO), it triggers the workflow through the "sap_wapi_start_workflow" and when the workflow proceeds to the first level of approval, the front end application provides the approver with Approve and Reject options.
On click of approve, from the java webdynpro, the approve status is written in the container using "sap_wapi_write_container" and then a call is made to "sap_wapi_workitem_complete". Upon excution, the message line is "No administrator found for the task" and the return code is "1".
But if we do the same steps from the backend (R/3), the workitem is getting completed without any such error.
Please advice.
Thanks.

Hi Balaji,
I think I have an answer for you. This has happened with us when approving a WD java task using UWL (in our case for travel). The key is the return code of 1.
What has happened is this. The return code actually comes from the function SWW_WI_STATUS_CHANGE_NEW which is called deep in the WAPI wrapper. It means "infeasible_state_transition = 1".
This is due to the fact that after updating the container, your wapi call from web dynpro tries to change the workitem from status of "Ready" to status "Completed". This will not work.
What you will have to do is call "SWW_WI_STATUS_CHANGE_NEW" to set the status to 'SELECTED' beofre setting the item to complete.
The reason for this is that when you are executing from R3, the status change is done for you. When calling from the WD, no reservation of the workitem occurs.
Sorry about last night, I live well outside of town and the phone reception at my place is poor.
Regards
Gareth

"No Administrator found for the task " ?

Hi All,
I am using a standard method "display" in my ztask . [BO - FIPP, method - dispaly]
workitem created by this task is to be delivered to "initiator".
Now, initiator has this workitem in his inbox, but whenever he tries to execute that , a message is dispalyed saying

Please suggest wat could be missing or wat could be cross checked here to resolve the matter.

No Administrator found for the task (solution in FAQ not applicable sadly)

Hi All,
I have had to build a custom work item inbox due to complex client requirements, one of which being that all tasks are declared as "General tasks", so that all users can select and work them.
Work item execution is performed using the function module SWL_WI_DISPATCH (I've also tested using SAP_WAPI_EXECUTE_WORKITEM), which sometimes returns the error 'No administrator found for the task'.
I followed the standard instructions for this error message, refreshing the org assignments, transaction SWU_OBUF etc, and this did not help the issue.
The error seems to occur within the function module RH_WI_AGENT_EXECUTE_CHECK, however according to our configuration I can see no reason why users shouldn't be allowed to execute the work item, if the org assignment has been stable for several months, all tasks are generic, and the work item status is READY. There is no rule for determining agent beyond them being "General task"s.
Does anyone have any ideas? According to the data in SWWWIHEAD I can't see any reason why execution should be failing for these work items.
Thanks

Hi there,
almoste there
The new extended eMail notification do allow a feature, which is named "Forward by eMail" (in the general settings of SWNCONFIG). And the result is, that a work item can be executed by another user-id, who is not the actual receiver of the work item.
If you looked at report RSWNWIEX you'll find out that exactly the proposed solution is in use there, having a very usuable example already in place: (check lines 155 and following)
 CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_EXECUTE_WORKITEM'
 EXPORTING
 workitem_id = p_wi_id
 IF lv_rc <> 0 AND cl_swn_settings=>wi_forward_via_mail = 'X'.
*- require to put back if WI is selected
 CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_ADM_WORKITEM_BACK'
 CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_FORWARD_WORKITEM'
 EXPORTING
 workitem_id = p_wi_id
 user_id = sy-uname
 COMMIT WORK. "Needs to be done before executing again
 CALL METHOD cl_swf_run_wim_factory=>initialize( ).
 CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_EXECUTE_WORKITEM'
That doesn't blast a security hole, as far as I see.
Using the table SWWUSERWI directly is not advisable at that time, I'd say.
Best wishes,
Florin

SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE No administrator found for the task

Hi gurus,
I have a problem executing the FM SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE. Everytime i run the FM, it gives the error "No administrator found for the task". But in the Workflow Logs (SWI1), there is an agent and can actually access the workitem on the business workplace of that agent. I just need to run this because the approval is triggered in WebDynpro. I've done the following things to fix it but the error still occurs:
1. Set the decision step as General. (even the standard decision gives the same error)
2. Set the workflow as General.
3. Refresh the Org. Structure thru SWUS
4. Refresh the object buffer thru SWU_OBUF.
5. Log in and out of the system after refreshing buffers
I hope somebody can help me out as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance,
Dexter

Hi Rick,
I've used SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE a couple of times before, here's how i called the FM:
        CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE'
          EXPORTING
          WORKITEM_ID          = wa_wfm_steplog-wi_id   "----
>wi_id of the decision step
          LANGUAGE             = sy-langu
          USER                      = sy-uname
          DECISION_KEY         = ly_decision_key            "-----> 0001
          DO_COMMIT            = 'X'
        IMPORTING
          RETURN_CODE          = l_subrc
     NEW_STATUS           = new_status
        TABLES
          MESSAGE_LINES        = lt_message.
i found out that the error occurs if this FM is not executed by the Agent (approver). But even if i run this FM using a different login and key in the UNAME if the agent, it still gives the error.
Its weird because on my previous company, any user can execute this FM to update ANY decision step.
Hope you can still help me.
Thanks,
Dexter

Have you replaced the back on the phone? The phone won't find the card without the back in place.
And you don't have to switch the phone off to remove the card, either.

No Administrator for the TASK

Hi All,
Could you help me to resolve workflow issue. We have a workflow for PO release strategy. The agents are maintained in customized table. Now when I am adding a new agent in that customized table, the workflow is picking up the agent correctly but the he is not able to approve it as it gives the error "No administrator found for the task".
Can somebody help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks for your help.

Hema

Hi Hema,
It might be authorization problem. after displaying this message run transaction /NSU53 and check any authorization are missing. if yes then contact basis team and if message display like 'all authorization checks have so far been successful' then run transaction SWU_OBUF and press synchronize(shift + f1) then try again.
Hope these helps.
