Most organizations want to display their name during deployment. In this section, you configure the default Configuration Manager client settings with the Contoso organization name. Configuration Manager uses the Network Access account during the Windows 10 deployment process to access content on the distribution points. In this section, you configure the Network Access account.
Configuration Manager has many options for starting a deployment, but starting via PXE is certainly the most flexible in a large environment. COM distribution point and select Properties. For more information, see Install and configure distribution points. Note : These files are used by WDS. Operating system deployment with Configuration Manager is part of the normal software distribution infrastructure, but there are additional components. For example, operating system deployment in Configuration Manager may use the State Migration Point role, which is not used by normal application deployment in Configuration Manager.
This section describes the Configuration Manager components involved with the deployment of an operating system, such as Windows State migration point SMP. The state migration point is used to store user state migration data during computer replace scenarios. Distribution point DP. The distribution point is used to store all packages in Configuration Manager, including the operating system deployment-related packages.
Software update point SUP. The software update point, which is normally used to deploy updates to existing machines, also can be used to update an operating system as part of the deployment process. You also can use offline servicing to update the image directly on the Configuration Manager server.
Reporting services point. The reporting services point can be used to monitor the operating system deployment process. Boot images. Operating system images. The operating system image package contains only one file, the custom. This is typically the production deployment image.
Operating system installers. The operating system installers were originally added to create reference images using Configuration Manager. For more information on how to create a reference image, see Create a Windows 10 reference image. One possible solution to this problem is to defragment drive C. To do so, perform the following steps:. Run the Diskpart shrink querymax command to identify the maximum amount of disk space that can be unallocated.
If the value returned in step 1 is less than 2 GB, clean drive C of any unnecessary files, and then defragment it. Run the Diskpart shrink querymax command again to verify that more than 2 GB of disk space can be unallocated. Back up the data on drive C, delete the existing partition, create a new partition, and then restore the data to the new partition.
However, modifying the MDT scripts is not recommended. Problem: When performing a Refresh Computer deployment scenario, the deployment process may fail when deploying to a target computer that is using logical drives or dynamic disks. Possible Solution: MDT does not support deploying operating systems to logical drives or dynamic disks. Problem: During deployment, you use the Windows Deployment Wizard to provide all the necessary information for the target computer, including credentials, domain join information, and static IP configuration.
When Setup finishes, you can see that the system has not joined the domain and is still in a workgroup. Configure Unattend. Then, use the built-in Recover from Domain task sequence step to add a step in the task sequence to join the domain after the static IP has been applied.
To ensure the best possible user experience, installation of hardware devices and software drivers should run as seamlessly as possible, with little or no user intervention. Microsoft provides tools and guidelines to help create installation packages that meet this goal. For general information about driver installation, see Device and Driver Installation. Troubleshooting device driver installation issues using the SetupAPI.
Specifically, the paper provides guidelines for driver developers and testers to interpret the SetupAPI log file. One of the most useful log files for debugging purposes is the SetupAPI. This plain-text file maintains the information that SetupAPI records about device installation, service pack installation, and update installation. Specifically, the file maintains a record of device and driver changes as well as major system changes beginning from the most recent Windows installation.
This paper focuses on using the SetupAPI log file to troubleshoot device installation; it does not describe the log file sections that are associated with service pack and update installations. In brief, the PXE protocol operates as follows: The client computer initiates the protocol by broadcasting a DHCP Discover packet containing an extension that identifies the request as coming from a client computer that implements the PXE protocol.
Assuming that a boot server implementing this extended protocol is available, the boot server sends an offer containing the IP address of the server that will service the client. The client uses Trivial File Transfer Protocol to download the executable file from the boot server. Finally, the client computer runs the downloaded bootstrap program. The initial phase of this protocol piggybacks on a subset of the DHCP messages to enable the client to discover a boot server that is, a server that delivers executable files for new computer setup.
The client computer may use the opportunity to obtain an IP address which is the expected behavior but is not required to do so. The second phase of this protocol takes place between the client computer and a boot server and uses the DHCP message format as a convenient format for communication.
This second phase is otherwise unrelated to the standard DHCP services. The next few pages outline the step-by-step process during PXE client computer initialization.
Depending on the router models in use, the specific router configuration of DHCP broadcast forwarding may be supported to either a subnet or router interface or a specific host. If the DHCP servers and the computer running Windows Deployment Services are separate computers, ensure that the routers that forward DHCP broadcasts are designed so that both the DHCP and Windows Deployment Services servers receive the client broadcasts; otherwise, the client computer does not receive a reply to its remote boot request.
Is there a router between the client computer and the remote installation server that is not allowing the DHCP-based requests or responses through? Refer to the router instructions for more information about setting up DHCP forwarding on a specific router. Check the following elements if it is taking a long time 15—20 seconds for the PXE client computer to retrieve an IP address:.
Are the network adapter on the target computer and the switch or router set to the same speed automatic, duplex, full, and so on. Problem: While testing and troubleshooting a new or modified task sequence, you may need to restart the target computer so that the deployment process can start over from the beginning. Unexpected results may occur, because MDT keeps track of its progress by writing data to the hard disk; any restart of the target computer has MDT resume where it left off at the previous restart.
Problem: The target computer is properly joined to the domain, but the computer account is in the wrong OU. Possible Solution 1: If an account pre-exists for the target computer, the account will remain in its original OU. Possible Solution 2: Verify that the specified OU is in the correct format and that it exists. Possible Solution: If a PXE service point previously existed on the server you are configuring, the PXE service point may not have deleted the self-created certificates when you uninstalled it.
The New Site Role Wizard in the Configuration Manager console should successfully finish when you have deleted the folder. Task sequence does not finish successfully or has unpredictable behavior as described in The Task Sequence Does Not Finish Successfully. While configuring a network connection name, the message "Please enter a valid name for the network adapter" is displayed as described in Apply Network Settings. Problems that may occur as a result of improper configuration of continue on error configuration settings for task sequence steps as described in Use Continue on Error.
Problem: Task sequence may not finish successfully or has unpredictable behavior. For example, if a task sequence was created to deploy a bit Windows 8. It is recommended that a new task sequence is created to deploy a different operating system image. Problem: A task sequence based on a LTI OEM task sequence template is showing up for a boot image with a different processor architecture. For example, an OEM task sequence that deploys a bit operation system is showing on a bit boot image.
Possible Solution: This is expected behavior as OEM task sequences in LTI are not considered to be "platform-specific" will always be listed, regardless of the processor architecture of the boot image. A SKU that is associated with a task sequence is deleted; however, other SKUs for the operating system source still exist.
Remove all SKUs from the operating system source. The Windows Deployment Wizard behaves normally, and the error message is not displayed. Problem: When configuring the network connection name in the Deployment Workbench, a validation error prompts you with the message, "Please enter a valid name for the network adapter.
Possible Solution: Remove any spaces and invalid characters from the specified connection name. If a MDT task sequence is configured not to continue on error and that task sequence returns an error, all remaining task sequences in that task sequence group are skipped.
However, the remaining task sequence groups are processed. Consider the following:. Two task sequence groups have been created, and either group contains more than one task sequence step:. However, all task sequence steps in Group B will be processed. Problem: While using USMT to migrate user data, shortcuts that point to network documents may not be restored. The shortcuts are captured during Scanstate; however, they are never restored to the target computer during Loadstate.
Possible Solution: Edit the MigUser. Problem: When deploying an image, the deployment fails with the following entries in the BDD. It is possible that another process, such as a virus scanner, was holding the.
Problem: When deploying an image to certain target computers, Windows PE starts, runs wpeinit , opens a Command Prompt window but does not actually start the deployment process. Troubleshooting the problem by mapping a network drive from the target computer indicates that the network adapter drivers are not loaded. Problem: When troubleshooting a failed deployment, a review of the BDD. Problem: When deploying to certain target computers, Windows PE starts, runs wpeinit , opens a Command Prompt window, but does not actually start the deployment process.
Troubleshooting by mapping a network drive from the target computer indicates that the network adapter drivers are not loaded. A review of the SetupAPI. On the setup page click Next. Run this as administrator and on the integration page click on Next. Now launch you Configuration Manager console. Going forward we shall see those features. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here.
Can you help? Hi Prajwal, Thank you. It was nice site. Since i was taken your sites as a reference for couple of scenarios. So i was thinking to setup it to different server? And can you please confirm how much network speed needed for it? Thank you.
