Testing new boot wim

Hi
I have a new Lenovo model which I need to be able to build with SCCM
I have pxe booted using our current boot wim and the laptop reboots shortly after configuring networks. I have opend a command prompt and can see that the laptop doesn't get an ip address. I have downloaded network drivers for the laptop and
have used drvload to test the installation of drivers and have found one which works.
I want to take a copy of my current boot wim, create a new wim based on that, add the new driver and then use this new wim to boot the laptop. I also want to take a copy of a Task Sequence, add the new laptop drivers and associate this with the new
boot wim. Essentially I want to create a new boot wim and task Sequence.
It is my understanding that machines will boot with the boot wim which is associated with the last Task Sequence that was deployed. My question is, how can I test booting the laptop with the new boot wim and apply the new Task Sequence without
this affecting any other machines ? While testing I don't want any production / unknown machines booting using the new wim. Unfortunately I don't have a test environment set up at the moment. I know I can create a boot media which uses the
new boot wim but then how can I advertise /deploy the new TS without other machines using the boot wim associated with it.
Thanks

Sorry. I misunderstood. You could adopt your strategy above. Remember thought that the Lenovo may not necessarily get the boot image that it is configured to use in the task sequence.

SCCM 2012 R2 Won't import boot.wim

Over the weekend I have upgraded to SCCM R2 CU4 and today I am having issues with OSD, After the install of the client, the task just ends and does not continue to install the applications.
I checked: drivers, network access account, redistributed all content to DPs still the same issue. After some googleing I found this thread "Failed to get the environment key - SMSTS.log" Sorry not allowed to link yet.
My wim versions are 6.2.9200 so I figured I need to import new boot images, not a big deal.
I have ADK 8.1 Setup up on the server. exported the boot.wim from the adk but whem I attept to import the new boot.wim sccm gives me an error. So back to google. People have stated that MacAfee can cause errors, well we don't run MacAfee, we have
Symantec. For jokes sake I disabled that anyway, but still sccm fails to import the boot.wim, for any user, including the addmin user that was used to install SCCM. As well as from multiple network locations.
Any one have any idea. Any logs I can look at?

I've removed ALL drivers and all packages from SCCM, as well as task sequences pointing to driver packages. Still same issue.
I cannot add or remove drives from boot images. When attempting to add driver to a boot image. the dialog where I select the boot image is just blank and does not list any boot images that are in sccm console.
When attempting to update files on distribution points from the boot images that exist i get this error message.
Error: Boot image to update:

Cannot mount winpe boot.wim with error:3

Hi there
thats what i´ve done:
first i installed the adk (build 10057) after i´ve removed the old one completely.
then i´ve used copype to create new files (copype amd64 c:\123)
after this i´ve used this command:
Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:c:\123\media\sources\boot.wim /mountdir:c:\123\mount /index:1 /loglevel:4
and i get the error message
Error:3
The system cannot find the path specified.
Here is the Log: http://pastebin.com/djPfKXdN
Whats wrong? Can someone else confirm this?
p.s. i get the same error if i use an different/older wim-file...

Hi,
Currently, we only have latest preview build to 10049 via Windows Update. For the ADK, please make sure to use ADK for Windows Technical Preview
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn938390(v=vs.85).aspx
I tested in my mahcine, and the operation completes successfully
The logs shows that something is missing in the dism store, I recommend you uninstall the Deployment tools which contains DISM in ADK, then reinstall the tool as a test.

Driver Added to Boot.wim but won't recognise on PXE boot

Hi, this is a bit of an odd one.
I have taken the boot.wim file from Windows 7 Pro DVD > Sources folder. I have injected the correct network driver (tested within online image using drvload, I get an IP address), committed this to wim and then added into WDS environment:
Windows Server 2003, WDS not sure what version (how can I find this out)?
I have DOUBLE checked that the .INF file for this driver I have injected is in fact showing in the C:\windows\system32\driverstore etc by mounting wim again and checking the mount folder.
When I PXE boot and select this boot image however, I still receive the 'WDSclient, unable to match network driver' error.
If I hit shift + F10 and manually load the exact same driver from USB, I can again get an IP address afterwards! So I know for a fact I am injecting the correct driver. It's almost as if the setup.exe process isnt loading the driver even though the file
is there.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Solved! Well, using a workaround.
Installed WDS on one of our Windows 2008 servers so I had the additional options within WDS to add driver packages etc. Added driver this way then exported the image and imported into the original WDS server. Works fine.
Can't just switch to using the 2008 server full time currently as I'm on a tight deadline to roll an image out and the network has many vlans, I'd have to change config to allow traffic from our build network VLAN environment to new WDS server etc.

Thinkpad 10 SCCM 2012 R2 x64 WINPE OSD boot wim

Trying to inject drivers in to my CM12 x64 boot wim (ADK and MDT 2013 integration with CM12) for the new Thinkpad 10 Tablet. The x86 worked flawlessly and touch screen works on the x86 builds even my S1 Yoga. Errors galore with the x64 versions of the drivers from the SCCM pack. Being UEFI boot only both versions are needed and not all my locations will have the dock for using a keyboard so touch just needs to work.
Here is what successfully got added,the 2 display drivers and thats it. I started with all the drivers and worked in reverse by removing each driver after every error.
from SCCM:

Any help is appreciated and parkerj, as usual I am willing to be your huckleberry if needed. On a unrelated item any tips for removing the lenovo scup data from my wsus/scup environment? We had an issue and now i cannot publish the data. Whick makes me sad as I think the Lenovo SCUP catalog shows good progress. Primary issue is knowing what applies to what without publishing everything.

Hi,
UEFI BIOS Version: GWET23WW (1.23)
I have managed to implement drivers in a different way. I have created a package containing all drivers and placed it in a part of task sequence running inside installed operating system instead of running in WinPE. There is a script inside a package looking like this:
Start /w .\win\Chipset\setup.exe -s
Start /w pnputil -i -a .\WIN\TXEI\INF\TXEI.inf
Start /w setup.exe -SILENT
Start /w .\WIN\Audio\setup.exe /s
Start /w .\WIN\Bluetooth\setup.exe /s
Start /w .\WIN\Fingerprint\WBF_SPI_DDK_Extended_Setup.exe /s
Start /w .\WIN\GPS\setup.msi /qn
Start /w .\HOTKEY\setup.exe /S /B /H
pnputil -i -a .\WIN\MONITOR\TPLCD.INF
Start /w .\WIN\NFC\setup.exe /s
Start /w .\WIN\PMDriver\setup.exe -S -SMS
Start /w .\WIN\WLAN\setup.exe -s
reg import .\OSFIXES\ALSOR\ALSOR_Apply.reg
For anyone interested just make sure you follow correct paths to executables as presented in this script.
After running it I am left with Security Device unrecognized in Device Manager so I have to add another task sequence for Restart and than another one with a line with a package for Security Device and runing this as a command: pnputil -i -a TXEI.inf
Using regular pre-driver deploy task sequence commands in WinPE enviorenment unfortunately didn't helped so I have ended with workarounds presented here.
If anyone can add something to this I will be more than glad to hear.

I want sound to go to line out but each new boot it selects internal speaker

I select sound to go to line out but with each new boot it reverts internal speaker. How can I "save" my sound preference??

Hi Del.
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

When creating SCCM boot.wim what modifies the winpeshl.ini file?

I need to add a command to run before tsbootshell.exe in the winpeshl.ini. Other than cracking the boot wim and manually modifiying winpeshl.ini how can it get Configmgr to do this automaticlly? The post for putting it in the unattend does not work for me
because tsbootshell.exe has already run at that point so the only place i can make this modification is in winpeshl.ini.
Thanks,
Uly

I am in a similar situation and wanted to add a sleep.exe command to winpeshl.ini as mentioned in this thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrosd/thread/a60feb9b-d968-4a2c-9449-773c61bcdf58/. The exact steps I used are listed there.
I discovered that you can create a customized winpeshl.ini file in this location and it will be automatically be integrated into the final boot image when you use SCCM to update or create new boot images. I think you're trying to do exactly what I was trying
to do and this should do the trick.
[Program Files]\Microsoft Configuration Manager\OSD\bin\i386\winpeshl.ini

What triggers the prompt for memory test during boot up of WLC.

I have a controller that sometimes does and sometimes doesn't prompt for memory test at boot up. What triggers the prompt for memory test at boot up?

We have the same behaviour with a 4402 controller.
After a software upgrade from 4.2.130.0 to 4.2.176.0 the controller didn't reboot automaticly during the first restart with the new software. I connected via console and saw this message:
Airespace 4200 Wireless LAN Switch Board - Memory Test
Invalid Option...Press any key to continue
Airespace 4200 Wireless LAN Switch Board - Memory Test
1. Restricted [4kB per MB]
2. Entire Range [512M]
3. EXIT
Then I choosed option <3 Exit> and the controller started correct.

Setting up boot WIM... but having trouble setting up the correct NIC driver

I'm trying to setup a network boot with Windows Deployment Services. Pretty straightforward (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766320.aspx). Problem though is the OOTB Vista & Win2k8 boot.wim file don't include the necessary driver for the NIC card (Intel 82567LM Gigabit NIC). So I'm following these steps outlined here in the MSFT KB (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923834) but seems I'm not loading the correct driver. I looked in my w500 Vista x64 install that has a working NIC to get the working NIC INF file, but that didn't work. Anyone successfully done this? I'm sure some of the bigger organizations have... just having trouble creating a boot.wim (or modifying the one I've got) to add the correct NIC driver to continue with a PXE boot.

Thanks... I got that far as the boot loader is x86... but I'm trying to figure out which specific INF rather than load all of them as its a manual process.

Purchasing a new Boot drive for Power PC Mac dual G5 2.7 GHz ( early 2005)

As I’ve mentioned I have Power MAC Dual G5 2,7 GHz( early 2005)
I’m doing “ erase and install” on my boot drive Caviar and starting from the scratch - Basically doing whole new setup with my music apps,sample libraries and back up.
To describe it little better - My plan is to move Caviar to second slot ( mostly will be used for I-tunes,documents,photos and maybe some back up) and purchase new boot drive.
All my audio and music samples I’m running from 4 bay ( sata ) exterior hot swap enclosure with Lycom card so my boot drive will be clearly for OS X and applications.
Now - I’ve gone through a big research and even though I have not really make up my mind about my purchase - here is what I’ve found out so far.
As a boot drive I’ve been considering following ( I’m adding my comments as well)
1) My first pick was Hitachi T7K500 320GB SATA II HD 16MB Cache -
seemed to me like a very good choice for a boot drive since it has a great random access .But after reading review in “ AMUG reviews “ Using a Hitachi T7K500 320GB with a Mac Pro I was not that sure .Apparently They don’t recommend Hitachi T7K500 for internal Mac Pro usage since it is slower without using SATA host adapter. But that is Mac Pro - I have Dual processor so it might be different?
Second choice was
2) Maxtor MaXLine III 500GB or Maxtor MaXLine Pro 500 GB
here I’m not sure -some guys don’t really recommend this brand but in bunch of online reviews I’ve read it was mentioned as a very good choice for a boot drive .
I’ve been told that this drive is too noisy and too cheap which I think is not a bad thing though.
And finally
3) Raptor 74 GB or 150 GB
Everyone knows those drives are fast
Downside is that size is not very big ( just my OS X will be around 50 GB)
plus 150 Gig won’t work natively on my G5 without host card which would be another extra expense .
Maybe one more thing to add - I have not consider neither seagate drives (since random access speed is not that great) nor pairing any of those previously mentioned drives into raid 0 configuration .
So basically that is my selection.I’m trying to pick up drive which would work natively without PCI - X card and would be reliable and fast.( Only if I would have no choice - Than I would probably buy a host card )
Also I’m not sure whether for example in the case of hitachi ( or even other brands ) would be smarter to go with bigger size - maybe 400 or 500 GB for a boot since all drives getting slower as they get filled up.
I would really appreciate if anyone can give me a feedback as far as what drive would be the best choice in my case.
Thank you very much for your time
Milan

OK - I'll try that one more time - second choice is Maxtor Maxline III 500 GB or maxtor maxline Pro 500 GB.

HT4889 Replacing System hard drive with a new one. How to get everything over to the new boot drive?

Replacing System hard drive with a new one. How to get everything over to the new boot drive? Should I use Carbon Copy or does apple have a better untility to do this?
I can't get my current system drive (OSX 10.8.3) to start on the first try. I always have to shut down and restart again to finally see the Apple logo.
Have used disc utility to repair the disc and permissions several times and that works. The next time I boot up, it works fine and I get the apple logo, but then the second time I boot up, it's back to the blank screen again and it only boots after the second try. I have tried this repair three different times now always with the same result. Works right the first try (after the repair) then from the second time on it doesn't work. I just get the white screen until I reboot a second time.
Thinking I should change drives but what's the easist and best way to move everything over to the new drive so it will boot correctly with all my data on it. This is the system drive for a Pro Tools 10HD setup. MacPro 3,1 with 16 gigs ram and OSX10.8.3 on it.
Thanks for any help!

If you have a time machine back up of your current drive you can do this
Shut down your computer, install the new drive. While the computer is off plug in the external hard drive that you have your time machine back up on. Hold Option key while the computer turnes on, let go of the option key once you get a grey screen. Shortly after you'll see a list of bootable drives, select the one that has your time machine back up on it and boot into that drive.
From there go into disk utility, format your new drive too, osx extended journaled ( I think, double check that, its been awhile since ive had to do this), hit format
Exit disk utility and then you can use time machine to copy all your exisit data to the new hhd and then your pretty much done.
There is also a program called Carbon Cloner that will do esentially the same thing however I've never uesed it.

Creating A New Boot Drive For Mac Pro Desktop

I have a Mac Pro 1,1 using Lion:
I would like to create a new and bigger boot drive but having not done this before I would appreciate any direction that would make this as painless as possible. I will continue to use Lion but am a little lost when it comes to doing this with the download process of Lion as well as transferring what has been created on the current HD in the MacPro. I have a new WD Black 2 TB SATA that I would like to use as the new boot drive. Again, thank you for the help.

Don't. Use. 2TB for system. Seriously.
Use that for data.
Get yourself a $89 Samsung 840 120GB instead along with Icy Dock $15. You will. Love it.
You don't need a large drive for the system. All you need to do is MOVE all the data and media files and every thing else, just leave the small 4GB /Users/myuseraccount/Library on the boot drive with the OS and apps. Everything else gets off loaded.
Leave your drive you ahve now as is for backup. Move data and clone the system.

The source folder must contain a valid boot.wim file

Hi.
I have the following problem
I have downloaded MDOP2014 (en_microsoft_desktop_optimization_pack_2014_x86_x64_dvd_4130158)
I have installed the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) for Windows 8.1 Update
And then installed MSDaRT81.exe on a Windows 8.1 (with Update) machine
I have also copied the boot.wim from the "Sources" folder from the Win8.1 ISO file.
But when I start the DaRT Recovery Image Wizard an try to point to the folder with the boot.wim file, it gives me:
"The source folder must contain a valid boot.wim file"
I have tried boot.wim files from 8.1 ent, 8.1 ent with update, server 2012 R2, server 2012 R2 with update...no go
I am using boot.wim of win 7.
Any ideas????

Hi,
I found that if you point to the root directory (not the sources folder), then it finds the correct boot.wim. Specifically, I downloaded the 8.1 Enterprise evaluation ISO, then mounted the ISO (F:). When pointing to the sources folder, it gave the same error,
but when I pointed only to F:, it worked fine.
Additionally, both in the wizard and in the article 'Creating the DaRT 8.0 Recovery Image', it states:
Specify the root path of the Windows 8 <64-bit or 32-bit> install media
Hope this helps,

Hi,
You could use SCCM console to add these drivers. From the SCCM console, go to Operating Systems -> Drivers. Right click and select Import Drivers and follow the wizard. Or go to Operating Systems -> Boot Images -> Right click the boot image in question
-> select Properties. Select the Drivers tab and click on the add button on the right and then select the NIC drivers.
