Problems with *.zmg Image deploy via PXE

Hi all,
I am currently faced with the following problem unfortunately:
We use ZCM pre boot (pxe) to image our clients with a windows7.zmg image which was configured with sysprep.
The image is created on a PC, which has a 300GB HDD. The windows partition is over the total size of the hdd.
This imaging process on a new pc is as following script shows:
Code:
# Delete + MBR partition table
dd if = /dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1
# partition
fdisk /dev/sda << EOF
w
EOF
# imaging
img rp server IP path/to/image.zmg
This works quite well so far, with the only problem, that the partition on the new PC has the maximum of 300 GB. So if I image this image on a pc, which hdd has 500 GB, 200 GB will remain unpartitioned.
I have redesigned the imaging now follows:
Code:
# imaging
img pc1 NTFS
img rp server IP path/to/image.zmg a1: p1
img pa1
Now the entire HDD is used for the partition, but after the imaging the PC doesn`t boot, and stops with a black screen and a blinking cursor.
I am typing this on a problem with the mbr, but does not know how to fix it: (
I have to modify the imaging-process, that i can use the image on every HDD size with the result, that always the max partitionsize is used.

hi all, i am having an issue where found out that Imaging Script cannot be used to multicast so i am running in to a problem now. If i push out an image via zcm script bundle it works fine with your suggestions but i cannot seem to figure out why the image wipes out all the hard drives in the systems during multicast image set or a single image load via pxe boot.
First problem:
if i push out an image via Zenworks Image preboot bundle file set is set to 1 it wipes out all the hardrvie in the system (tow hard drive, disk 0 and disk 1. i can certainly fix the disk resizing issue by adding a script to unattaned file after the image is loaded to resize the disk automatically using diskpart commands. which works fine.
Second problem:
here is what i did:
1. created an multicast Image Set
2. number of clients needed set to 1
3. Time out in five minutes
It does not load the image znd waits for session to start.
how can i automate this via zcm to make sure on pxe boot the both pcs receive the image as scheduled in zcm.
Please assist.
thank you.

  • WDS for custom image deployment via PXE

    I've recently spun up a 2012R2 server and I'd like to use it so I can netboot clients to it and install a custom image on the machine, no hassle.  I have figured out how to take an image from a Windows 7 install disk and add drivers to it.
    However, I'm wondering the best way that I could configure an image to use that has all programs, profiles, updates, and drivers on it for a 'universal' install. Is this possible?
    For example, can I have a 32-bit image that has Chrome, FireFox, and some other programs on it, complete with any drivers that might be needed for NIC and WLAN cards, graphics adapters, etc? And then a 64-bit image for the same thing. Ideally, these
    would house drivers for any of our machines, so I could PXE boot a 64- or 32-bit desktop or laptop, regardless of the model (They're all one manufacturer) and have them install the image and be configured, ready to go?
    I would also like to know how I could create a custom image/ISO from a machine that is already ready-to-go as a template.
    Thank you for answers in advance.
    If it helps, i'm on a Windows 8.1 x64 machine myself, but the machines I'd like to image are Windows 7 (both x86 and x64).

    Yea.  In a nut shell:
    1. Do the install and create the needless account the setup process forces you to create.
    2. On first log in enable the original default Administrator account and give it a password
    3. Log in with the default Administrator account.
    4. Delete the local account that setup forced you to create
    5. Go to Advanced system Settings --> User Profiles, and remove the profile for that account.  This is important,...this removes the registry entries for the Profile as well (just deleting the folder structure under "C:\Users" does not,
    and problems can result).
    6. Build your image model from this point using the original default local Administrator account.  This is the only account that Sysprep will leave on the machine when it is run. Note the machine is not a Domain Member when I am at this point. 
    I only join the machine that I apply the image to when I finally deploy the machine to be used .
    7. Run Sysprep on the machine to prepare it for duplication, then shutdown or reboot.  When starting up you do not want to allow it to boot into the OS or you will have to rerun Sysprep again.   You can use WDS to "capture" an image
    after doing a network boot from the Nic.  You can also boot the machine using a Windows PE bootdisk and manually capture an image with ImageX (comes with WAIK for Win7).  But ImageX is commandline only and annoying,...there is a GUI alternative called
    GImageX (google it). Then manually copy the captured image to the WDS Server.  Note when you capture an image,..you are only capturing the Boot Partition,...not the entire drive.
    The details of all this you can sort out by studying "how to use" WDS and WAIK (Win7).  That should put you on the right track.
    A source for creating a bootable Windows PE disk is here.

  • Problem with Gif image

    Having a problem with gif image not showing up. It will show up in netscape6.2, but not in IE 5.0. Both are using the java 1.4 plugin. They are basic buttons (zoom in, zoom out, etc) and they actions work, just the icons aren't showing. Any help would be great! Below is a snip of code:
    JPanel toolBarsPanel = new JPanel();
    javax.swing.JToolBar toolbar = new javax.swing.JToolBar();

    toolbar.add(btn);
    add(toolbar, BorderLayout.NORTH);
    Thanks again for any help!

    I used to do a lot of work in this sort of thing. After a while we were able to convince our bosses to use generated HTML (JSPs, etc.), so the problem moved to porting JavaScript to different platforms! (Platforms in this context means the different browser/OS combinations, etc.).
    The only two things I can recommend are:
    - complete control over you code. You will have to fix it! (Tried you apps on a Mac yet?)
    - assume a minimal install. Don't assume users are going to have any fancy tools installed on their PC, unless you are developing an Intranet app, where you know the spec of the machines that are going to be using it.
    As regarding getting IE to use a relative address, I don't think you are going to have any luck their, I'm afraid! (Although I am curious. It has been some time, but I though it did use relative addresses. Are you absolutely sure about this, did you check this out with System.outs and that?

  • I have a problem with vertical images burned on a cd

    I have a problem with vertical images burned on a cd either from a Mac or a stand alone burner. What happens is the images come from the card and are put on the cd. Also note the the camera has been set for the computer to automatically show images vertically when shot that way. The images look good on my Mac, but are horizontal on windows computers. Both XP and Vista. What can be done?

  • I have problems with uploading images to my printing company have the images have been manipulated through CS6 i have saved images as jpeg but the printer company tell me they are not j peg, they will not upload images save from a camera are fine

    I have problems with uploading images to my internet printing company when  the images have been manipulated through CS6 and  i have saved images as jpeg  the printer company tell me they are not j peg,
    but images saved from my phone or camera images that have not been manipulated upload fine, What am i doing wrong?

    Save/Export them as JPG. Photoshop defaults to PSD, so make sure you select JPG and not just rename the file to .jpg.
    There are two ways to save them as JPG: Regular Save as option or Save for Web & Devices
    Take your pick.

    Are you writing of problems with the image displayed on your screen? Anyway that you can post a screenshot (to make a whole screenshot, hold down the Shift, Command and 3 keys at the same time). Upload your screenshot using the camera icon in the composition bar above.
    It would also help to know which model MacBook Pro you have - 15" late 2011, for example.

  • I am facing a Problem with reading images from database

    Hi everybody..
    any help will be most appreciated, I am facing problem with reading images from database. I am pasting my code... 
                    string connect = "datasource = localhost; port = 3306; username = root; password = ;"; 
                    MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection(connect); // creating connecting string
                    MySqlCommand sda = new MySqlCommand(@"select * from management.add_products ", conn); //creating query
                    MySqlDataReader reader; 
                    try
                        conn.Open(); // Opening Connection
                        reader = sda.ExecuteReader(); // Executing my Query..
                        while (reader.Read())
                            byte[] imgg = (byte[])(reader["Picture"]);
                            if (imgg == null)
                                pc1.Image = null;
                            else
                                MemoryStream mstream = new MemoryStream(imgg);
                                pc1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(mstream);
    It says Parameter not Valid... i am reading all the images from database

    I agree with Viorel. You are getting the error because the format of the data is incorrect probably because the data was modify. It may not be the reading of the database the is incorrect, but the application that wrote the data into the database. You need
    to compare the imgg array data with the data before it was written to the database to see if the data matches.  I usually start by comparing the number of bytes which is easier to check then compare the actual to isolate which function is changing the
    byte count.
    An image is binary data.  The standard VS methods for reading and writing data (usually stream classes) default to ASCII encoding which will corrupt binary data.  The solution usually is to use UTF8 encoding instead of the default ascii encoding. 
    Ascii encoding with stream often aligns the data and adds extra null bytes to the end of the data which can produce these type errors.

  • Problem with displaying images exported to PS

    This is slightly different than the post about TIFF files not displaying properly.
    In Aperture 1.2, when I exported an image to PS and did extensive work on it, and then saved back to Aperture, it would appear in Aperture just as it looked in PS when I saved it.
    However, in 1.5, that does not happen. After I save the image, and then go back to Aperture, all of the changes I made in PS don't appear! However, if I again open the image in PS a second time, it will change to the PS version even before the image gets to PS (I can see it change right when I click "open with external editor").
    Is this a difference with how 1.2 and 1.5 handle the files? I'm guessing it has something to do with image previews, because I chose not to have Aperture generate previews when I installed 1.5 due to the slow-down issues I saw reported here.
    I'm starting to wonder what the point of upgrading to 1.5 was for me... if I can't take advantage of previews (accessing my Aperture library from other apps like Keynote, etc) and if the PS files I work on don't display properly, I'd rather go back to 1.2. This is a major problem in my workflow, since I often spend a lot of time working on images in PS, and I need to be able to see them that way when I return to Aperture.
    I'm hoping there's some setting somewhere I can use to fix this. Is there?

    David,
    I really appreciate your offer to help. However, I have the problem with all images in my library in all projects, so I'm not sure how useful it would be for you to work with a single image I upload to a server.
    I'm having the same problem on my MacBook too, though for some unknown reason there are certain projects on my MacBook that the process works fine with. I cannot tell any difference between those projects (that work) and those that don't.
    What's even more strange... if I quit Aperture, and re-open it, and then go through the process (open a file in PS2, save, return to Aperture) - it works fine! But ONLY ONE TIME. If I try the same process again, on that same image, or any other image in my library, it will not work. It only works the FIRST TIME I do it after opening Aperture. I tested this several times and got the same result.
    I am completely stumped here. I've tried generating previews for a project and turning all of the preview options on, but that doesn't solve the problem either.
    Anyone out there have a clue what might be happening? This is more than a minor inconvenience... if my image management system can't display the image as it should appear, it's unusable.
