ZCM 10.3.2, PXE and Optiplex 980..

Maybe this has been answered already, but if it has, I haven't seen it yet. Has anyone been able to image an optiplex 980 with PXE on ZCM10, I cannot get it to work, and the culprit seems to be the intel boot agent, it seems to be too new of a version, for the PXE server. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks,
A new imaging update was released today, might be worth a shot to update and see if it resolves the issue: NOVELL: Downloads - ZENworks Imaging Driver Update for March 2011

OSD Tasks only available to PXE and media showed up in Software Center on a server!

OK so I'm getting a selected windows 2008 r2 server setup with its SCCM client cert, I get the client installed on there - everything's looking great, I see updates and CI's and policies all coming down nicely watching the client logs... I open up software
center thinking I'll go on ahead and kick off the 2 available windows updates and to my horror I see my OSD Task Sequence deployments (Available) sitting there in software center. These are all set for visibility only to PXE and media - NEVER software center
- every single one of them - and I've triple-checked every one since I saw this and also verified they don't show up on a client workstation. I deleted the deployments for these task sequences and grabbed the \windows\ccm\logs directory in full off the server
for review... How in the flying heck did these task sequences show up in Software Center on my server's newly installed client / software center???

Aha! Thanks Mr Sandys! Sure enough the client hasn't upgraded yet and is at 5.00.7711.0000.
I have automatic sitewide client upgrade configured (within 1 day) - guess I'll wait to see if it updates or not. Shouldn't pushing the client from my CM server send the latest client X_X ?

ZCM PXE and ZEN 7 PXE

Ok I am having a heck of a time trying to get PXE boot work on our zcm machine.
I have set up the server referral and added the old zen 7 server ip in there.
unloaded the novell-proxydhcp service on the old server and started it on the zcm server
i copied the files to the /srv/tftp folder.
dhcp not running on either machine
cisco routers have ip helper set
cisco routers have ip forward-protocol udp 67 and ip forward-protocol udp 68 set.
reboot the machine and it doesn't get a ip address
PXE-E53: No boot filename received
PCE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM
i check the logs and i don't even see any dhcp requests
any one with some suggestions?

to both the ZEN and ZCM servers?
I know the ip helper is set for both servers i am not sure about ip forward-protocol I will have the network ppl check when they get in.
I have noticed if i start the proxydhcp service on the old server it works ..

Dot1x, PXE and NAP

Hi Guys,
Got a question:
Trying to setup dot1x in an environment using Citrix Provisioning server. This involves the following process:
1. Workstation boots up using DHCP/Bootp, gets assigned an IP Address
2. Downloades Desktop image
3. Loads Workstation Image (Windows 7 Desktop)
From a dot1x perspective this is what we get:
1. Non-authenticated startup because it is using PXE there is no dot1x supplicant - port is assigned to a guest VLAN
2. When the image is loaded the LAN card is restarted and the Windows 7 Client has dot1x supplicant
3. Dot1x supplicant attempts authentication with either a pass or fail result.
4. Authentication success port is enabled, authentication fail quarrantine vlan is assigned.
Unfortunately we haven't been able to get this to work on the cisco switches because when the workstation moves from an non-authenticated startup (the guest VLAN) and is moved into an authenticated port that is enabled and goes to the main VLAN the workstation fails to complete startup because the change in VLAN interrupts the streaming to the Citrix provisioning server. As far as we understand for this boot process to work the workstation needs to remain in the same VLAN.
We tried to work around this by using per user ACL's however this doesn't work because if we don't configure a Guest VLAN for non-authorised ports, the port is disabled. We can't configure the Guest VLAN to be the same as the Primary VLAN of the port as this stops dot1x from authenticating the port.
Has anyone got a solution for this scenario. Is there a way to configure per user ACL's using dot1x which allows a non-authorised port be be enable but allow us to assign a per user acl to the port for authorised machines? The solution that is most likely to works is one that doesn't involve the use of different VLAN's execpt for perhaps a remediation VLAN for authorisation failed machines.
I hope this make sense and I hope there is someone out there that can help.
Regards,
He-Wun Kim

Hi,
We don't want to change the VLAN the main issue is that we can get the authentication to work i.e.:
The workstation using PXE boots up in the non-authenticated guest LAN, which has access to the provisioning servers, the image is downloaded and then loads.
The operating system boots up and successfully authenticates using Microsoft NAP as the supplicant, and is assigned to the port is authorized.
The problem is that the Guest VLAN and Authorized VLAN which is the default VLAN that the port is configured to be a part of are obviously on different IP subnets and the workstation as part of the process gets a new IP Address assigned when the Operating System boots, it is this CHANGE of vlan that breaks the provisioning process the VLAN port membership cannot change in order for the solution to work. We tried configuring the following using Radius VSA in which the Radius Server supplies the access-list name/number to use:
No Guest VLAN - The result, the PXE boot fails because the port is disabled when there is no dot1x authentication attempt made
Guest VLAN and Authorised VLAN the same - Fails because the switch doesn't allow this configuration authentication is disabled
Again the problem we have is that we are going from a non-authenticated to authenticated mode on the workstation, and there doesn't appear to be away to have the same workstation to remain on the same subnet for the duration of the boot and provisioning process.
We have looked at the MAC authentication option (which is what Citrix recommends) but we do prefer to use NAP/dot1x as it performs a number of health checks which are extremely useful in keeping our network nice and secure.

PXE and MDT

I am trying to get PXE to find my WDS server and having a tough day. My DCHP server and WDS are separate boxes but on the same subnet. I have added the options in the DCHP for 66 and 67 and also ensured WDS is listening for all requests. I
also added the lite touch images and still the machines are not picking up the boot sequence.
Any one have an idea.

Also just to answer the laptop is picking up the DHCP server just fine, just cant get to the image. Ensured WDS is on and started as well.

Setup UCS Auto-Deploy using PXE and dual vNICs

We are trying to set up Auto Deploy for UCS B200 M3 blade servers. Our setup has the chassis connected to dual 6248 Fabric Interconnects. We were successful in getting this to work when the blades were identified via MAC address configured on the DHCP server (Infoblox). However, in trying to resolve the scenario of the server attempting to PXE boot via either NIC, thus having two different MAC addresses, this scenario could not be supported on the DHCP server (mapping two MAC addresses to one IP address). Then we had the idea of using the GUID/UUID of the blade as a unique client identifier, as it is the same no matter which NIC is used.
We have tried to set this up, but have been unsuccessful. The blade sends out its' GUID using DHCP option 97, but the DHCP server is only looking for the Client ID via DHCP Option 61. We have not been able to determine how, or if, the blade server can send its' GUID via DHCP Option 61, and Infoblox tells us that their server cannot be configured to accept DHCP Option 97 as a client identifier.
Has anyone encountered this situation, and resolved it? Surely this isn't a unique situation, having a blade server with two NICs.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Ron Buchalski

Hi Ron,
i am currently setting up an autodeploy environment. But i only use one nic per host for boot from san. Because of the autofailover possibility in ucs, i think i do not need a second nic.
Why do you use a second nic? Do i miss something or is it just because of the thinking to have a redundancy for management in vcenter?

PXE and Windows eating up DHCP leases

Hi,
We've got three DHCP servers on three sites, running the ISC DHCP
daemon. We also have Zen for Desktops 7 on all three sites running on
Netware 6.5.
My problem is that when the PC boots, it ends up with two leases - one
for when the PXE runs, and another for when Windows boots! I've attached
an example of what happens, and the leases from the log files of the
server, to show what's happening. In a nutshell, it seems to be related
to the fact that the PXE session doesn't show a UID to the DHCP server,
but Windows does. As a result, DHCPD treats them as two different hosts,
and grants two leases. The only way around this right now is
ridiculously short leases, which results in very chatty workstations and
servers.
I tried the "deny duplicates;" setting in the dhcpd.conf, but that
doesn't seem to have worked. We have just over 50% of the DHCP pool
used, so as a result most PCs work, apart from the last ones on which
start showing 'No free leases' in the log file.
I'm going to upgrade the server to SLES10 soon (it's currently on an
ancient redhat install), but there's nothing in the changelogs relating
to duplicates that I could see, so I don't think it's a version issue.
Can anybody suggest anything to try and alleviate this problem? Is
anybody seeing this?
Regards,

Hi,
Just following this one up. It's still happening!
I tried using 'deny duplicates' in the dhcpd.conf, and it seemed to work
for a while, but it's still happening; I think we just had a low number
of PCs switched on!
We're on ZfD 7 SP1, Hotfix 3, with the Hotfix 4 PXE files installed
(Hotfix 4 came out about a week after I installed hotfix 3!).
Anyway, it's still happening and driving me to distraction. Of about
140-something hosts, they're using twice as many leases as they should,
so they're back on 10-minute leases, just to recycle them fast enough.
Anybody have any suggestions?!

PXE and Windos 7 deploy show error 0x80041013

Hi
I´m trying to deploy a Windows 7 OS in a lab environment. (DC, SCCM2012r2 and computer are in VnWare or HyperV, I tried both), I´m able to get IP from my DHCP ( dhcp role in DC), detect and load the PXE boot, start to boot and load CM client, then
ask for the password previously assigned and after that got the error:0x80041013
Can somedoby give me a clue?

Solaris 10 x86 PXE and jumpstart using Linux DHCP server !!

Hi,
I am trying to get a my Solaris 10x86 jumpstart rolling.
I have created the images for the OS, but the only issue I have ahead is using a Linux box as a DHCP server for my X86 box to get the image.
Is it possible to have a linux host that serves as a dhcp server to jumstart X86 host with Sol 10 x86
or do I need to have a solaris host that runs DHCP service on it.
Any advice on this issue.
Thanks.

Well, if you don't think the online Documentation helpful, then the better way is reading step-by-step instructions from a book. Get to local bookstore, i.e Barne&Nobles or Border or any big local bookstore, there should be pretty good book for Unix Administrator (Solaris version).
If you have time and think you can memorize then, read on the spot; otherwise, buy the book for future reference.
If that's not what you had in mind, then this link of free online book might help : http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/solaris8/chapter/ch04.html
Normally, oreilly online bookstore offers free books to accredited universities, colleges, and organizations. However, if that option isn't for you, it might even offer free sample chapters that might just suit your needs.
hoep it helps.

PXE bbot and imaging behind a Router

Hi all,
I'm trying to use PXE and imagining behind a router.
So far I have configured the folowing:
DHCPserver 192.168.1.2
PXE/Imaging server 192.168.1.12
At the remote location I've configured the Cisco router as following:
interface Vlan10
description WAN Interface
ip address 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0
interface Vlan11
description LAN Interface
ip address 192.168.80.1 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 192.168.1.2
ip helper-address 192.168.1.12
ip forward-protocol udp bootpc
ip forward-protocol udp bootps
At the DHCP server I set the following options:
3 - Gateway > 192.168.80.1
6 - DNS > 192.168.1.5
78 - DA > 192.168.1.31
79 - SCOPE > SCOPE
An imaged workstation works fine, but when I try to use PXE it gives
the following error:
Client MAC <mac adres of ws>
ClientIP: 192.168.80.100 MASK: 255.255.255.0
DHCPIP: 192.168.1.2 ProxyIP: 192.168.1.12
GatewayIP: 192.168.80.1
PXE-E78: Could not locate boot server
PXE-M0F Exiting
Do I have to set DHCP options:
66 = Boot Server Host Name
67 = BootFile Name
If yes, what setting should I use?
Thanx,
Martin Haaksema

Printing problem with Photoshop CS 6 extended and HP printer

Hi all, long time browser, first time poster.
This is a weird issue, it should be noted from the first that I only have weird computer issues. I work at a technical High School where we have the whole Adobe CS6 Extended suite installed. We are running it under a fully patched version of Windows 7 and all the CS6 updates have been applied on 25 machines that all have the same issue. The problem is that when the students go to print to our HP Color Laser jet CP6015DN, the job can been seen loading into the queue, it races up to about 45MB, then sort of strolls to load the rest of the document, usually about 59 to 75 MB's in size. Then I watch the message go to processing, the front panel of the printer says processing, then the print job disappears from the printer queue and the printer and there is no print out. I printed out the usage job log and it shows none of the failed attempts to print and I check the event log page which does not show the errors either.
Looks like a bad printer driver, right? So I download the new HP Universal printer driver, I normally do not do the Universal driver route as so many of my older printers have problems with it, but the CP6015DN seems to have trouble accessing the extended tray 5 with the specific drivers, but I have the same printing issue with the new Universal driver and the PS driver. So I wander through the HP manual and it suggests using profiles to print to the printer and move the color handling from Printer Manages Colors to Photoshop manages colors and I track down the ICC profiles for the printer on the HP site as the link in the book is dead, so try the CP6015srgb_d50.icc, CP6015_cmyk_d50.icc and CP6015.icc, I try all of these profiles with the newest PS printer driver and the same error, goes to the printer and into the bit bucket. Still no printout or error message.
Strange thing is that if I do a test print, it prints fine, if I open a tif file in Photoshop, it prints fine, now the teacher says if they print to the Xeorx 7760 in the next room, it also prints out fine. It should be noted that we had so many issues with configuring the Xerox and adjusting controls it was the reason we purchased a HP proofing printer in the first place. But the next door lab is all Apple, which doesn't seem to have this issue. So I open the test document and save it as a PDF file instead the native Photoshop format, and it prints fine, which from what I've been reading on the internet may be the preferred way of printing proofs, I don't know, I've never really used Photoshop, but the teacher says this isn't an acceptable fix and the students should be expected to manage a number of revisions saved to PDF format, me I just go up a number at the end of the file name for every correction when editing documents.
Any suggestions you have would be appreciated.
Windows 7 X64
Photoshop version 13.0.1 x64
HP Color Laserjet CP6015 DN model number Q3932A
Dell Optiplex 980 i5-650, 3.2Ghz, 8 GB RAM.

Yes, Photoshop is up to date at Version 13.0.6. I have even gone so far as to uninstall CS 6 and put CS 5 back on and still the same thing. This is really frustrating, the people at Canon try to be helpful but wind up saying it's an Adobe problem and of course you can't talk to real people anymore about CS 6. My research on the Internet has turned up nothing so I'm stuck.

Using zen preboot with external pxe-server

Hello,
I have the same thread in the ZCM11-Forum, but with ten it seems some people have found a solution. So, can you please look at this thread if you know how to boot the ZCM via an external PXE-Server.

Latest Firefox FlashPlayer Plugin (14_0_0_179) software exception 0xc0000710 on Windows 7 32-bit when Windows Speech Recognition is enabled and running.

Hi,
Please note that I am reporting a problem happened on a different computer than the one that I am now using to submit this report.
Computer: Dell Optiplex 980
OS: Windows 7 Pro (with all the Windows Updates installed as of Aug 21, 2014)
Browser: Mozilla Firefox 31.0 (most current version as of Aug 21, 2014)
Adobe Flash Player Plugin (for Win7 32-bit, Firefox): the latest FlashPlayerPlugin_14_0_0_179.exe
If I enabled the Win7 Speech Recognition feature, the Firefox FlashPlayer Plugin would generate an Application Error (software exception 0xc0000710) when the FlashPlayer Plugin is *first launch* in a Firefox session.
Subsequent launching of the Flash Player plugin in the same Firefox session would *NOT* trigger the same software exception error again - until another Firefox window is launched.
After the software exception error dialog was dismissed (via the OK button in the dialog), the plugin would go on running without any further problem and the flash video/audio would play correctly.

Please try a clean Flash plugin install: [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/clean-install-flash-player.html] this error was seen last in version 11.8. Please also make sure that your video drivers are up to date: [https://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765] and [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step doesnt run, shows 'in progress' indefinately

Hi
We have a new SCCM 2012R2 CU3 infrastructure in place and just trying to get OSD working with our existing images, on Dell OptiPlex 980/990 models. I have created a basic task sequence from the wizard and imported our images (windows 7 x64, created
with imagex). The task sequence applies the image and drivers, but then doesn't finish the task sequence. Instead, it reboots, runs the mini setup, reboots twice more and returns to the CTRL ALT DEL prompt. The smsts log shows no errors, and the console
just sits there with the client stuck in 'in progress'. There are no ccmsetup logs in C:\Windows, so the setup didn't start. The files are downloaded successfully however. This is on an image that has never had the ConfigMgr client installed, but I have also
tried capturing the image with a manual client install and deploying that. When that image starts, the task sequence also doesn't finish and the SMS Agent Host service is disabled.
Below is a list of things I have tried:
removing all unattend.xml files from the win7 image
removing all 3rd party drivers from the win7 image
adding all drivers to the boot image
removing all drivers from the boot image
adding all drivers to the 990 driver package
removing all drivers from the 990 driver package
adding just disk and network drivers to the 990 package
adding chipset drivers to the 990 package
deselecting migrate system time in the task sequence
using the RTM client with the PATCH command switch for the CU3 update
Forcing install onto C drive
deleting boot partition from task sequence and creating single boot partition at 100% space
entering the Win7 Pro KMS key into the task sequence
Using the SMSMP= switch in the client installation properties with the %_SMSTSMDataPath% variable
Using the SMSMP= switch in the client installation properties with the C:\_SMSTS folder
removing the scripts directory from c:\windows\setup from the win7 image
replacing apply driver package step in task sequence with auto apply, limited to 980 category, which only contains nic driver
tried manually installing agent, capturing via task sequence and redeploying
Nothing seems to work. Ive even tried deploying Windows 7 SP1 from the media ISO, this also has the same problem. I have used F8 and open a CMD prompt to verify the machine has an IP and can see its storage in WinPE, so I don't think it is a driver issue.
Ive also tried multiple combinations of all drivers versus no drivers in both the boot image and driver package.
I cant upload the log file as we restrict file sharing sites here, but I can paste in certain sections if it helps (the file is over 1MB)
Thanks

Im resurrecting this again, the issue seemed to be rectified on the VM capture, but has now resurfaced on a Hybrid image which is based on this image. We have 2 hybrids, the base image which is a vanilla install, customizations such as company background,
.Net 4.5.1, Silverlight, VC++ runtimes, AV, IE10... Then the big hybrid which is based on this, which contains all LOB apps.
So, the flow is like this, with each step being the basis for the next image/task sequence:
Win7 x64 SP1 media install in Task Sequence - WORKS
VM capture, with all outstanding Windows patches - WORKS
Base Hybrid Image, .Net 4.5.1, Silverlight, VC++ runtimes, AV, IE10 - WORKS
Fat Hybrid 1, LOB apps with Office 2003 - DOESNT WORK
Fat Hybrid 2, LOB apps with Office 2013 - DOESNT WORK
Ive gone through and verified all images have the latest binaries for CU3 2012 (version *.1401). Ive also tried to take off all AV (actually, I didn't even install it, is more accurate) before image capture, just in case this is stopping the TS from
completing. This issue is happening on both virtual and physical, which leads me to suspect drivers are not the cause.
So far, Ive come up with the possible causes:
Driver (less likely, images seem to work/not work regardless of hardware)
Software
AV (did not make a difference)
Number of activations (less likely, new fat image built from vmcapture2, rather than base image - still doesn't work)
Customizations/background (less likely, base image has customizations/background and works)
Im disabling the application install steps one by one in the capture TS to see if I can identify an application that is causing this. I have also looked through the list of hotfixes to see if this is a known issue or has a fix:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/9539.sccm-2012-list-of-public-microsoft-support-knowledge-base-articles.aspx
I also have the dism and smsts logs from a broken 'fat' hybrid TS and a working base hybrid ts and will
compare them.
Really tricky issue.

Machine imaged with FOG keeps losing trust relationship and reverting name

A Dell Optiplex 980 workstation (Win7 Pro x64) that I imaged with FOG has lost its trust relationship to the domain and reverted its hostname back to what it was originally (when imaged). It has done this twice in the past few days.
I can disjoin/rejoin the domain and rename the PC with the local admin account (done this twice now also), but what could be causing the name to revert? I have never seen this before. I'm fairly sure that losing the TR is only caused because of the name change. Could this be a setting in FOG causing this? I have FOG set to *not* join the machine to the domain after image task, I do it manually. Maybe I should be having FOG do it? Thanks....

You need to make sure that your reference machines are sysprepped before proceeding to the deployment.
Also, you need to make sure that your AD replication and DC health status are fine. You can achieve that using
dcdiag and repadmin commands. You can also refer to my article here: http://www.ahmedmalek.com/web/fr/articles.asp?artid=23
The issue can also be caused by security software you are running on your machines.
