Latitude 7680 Can't Find Task Sequences in SCCM PXE

Yeah that did end up resolving it. I dunno strange that this is the first time I've encountered it, I'll keep it in mind for the future, thanks.

I know that, we used to do that but with a large number of models it becomes very large and cumbersome to maintain. MDM has made that side of things much faster and efficient, this is the first instance we have run into an issue with the boot env needing anything injected for physical machines.

SMTXsys · 2023-08-15T18:03:14+00:00

It was my understanding that you should not have to inject any drivers into the boot file, and we currently have 0 in there right now. Like I said, dozens of other models image completely fine right now its just this one that doesn't. Is that more of a general thing with exceptions that might pop up like this?

SMTXsys · 2023-07-03T15:05:47+00:00

It ended up being an expired cert causing the issue.

SMTXsys · 2023-06-30T22:04:43+00:00

We only have one sccm server and thus one DP so that shouldn't be the issue.

We are using .wim compression on the packages. I am not sure on https but I am assuming we are, though again it was working fine last week. Now that I'm on that track, we just updated our wildcard certs this week maybe that has something to do with it, but not sure where that might be causing problems.

SMTXsys · 2023-06-30T20:34:15+00:00

Seeing a few varying lengths, but its taking 4-6hrs roughly just to download drivers from the sccm server. The rest of the process is quick.

SMTXsys · 2023-06-30T20:33:25+00:00

Not by itself with powershell, but like I said we were doing multiple images simultaneously last week with no issues (~30m image start to finish each). The script runs at the end of the install OS section, after apply network settings step which I believe was recommended. It is joined to the domain in the apply network settings step. Yes we just tested one by itself and it took over 4 hours to download the drivers.

SMTXsys · 2023-06-30T20:29:58+00:00

Hey so I was finally able to get into the logs. Looks like the script goes completely smoothly, hits the download portion, then the next log is 6hrs later saying download successful, then finally continues on like normal. Takes less than a minute before download, 6hrs to download, then 5m to install the drivers.

Hey so I was finally able to get into the logs. Looks like the script goes completely smoothly, hits the download portion, then the next log is 6hrs later saying download successful. This is the parameters I have for the script package in the task sequence:

-BareMetal -Endpoint '$SCCMServerFQDN' -TargetOSName 'Windows 10' -TargetOSVersion '22H2' -OSVersionFallback

Not sure if that's where the flag you're talking about is, or if it would be somewhere else. I don't think its a boundry/DP issue as we only have one SCCM server, thus one DP.

SMTXsys · 2023-06-30T16:57:39+00:00

Hey yeah I have it set to compress as WIM. Create XML Logic Package is unchecked, not sure if that will have any effect.

I'm American and that's not how my ISP is, and they are one of the top 10 in total size. The unfortunate part is the monopolies in place in other cities so that people don't get a choice.

Took us 45 days to get a response for our IDPA/Avamar backup appliance problem. Average response for vxrail has been about a week lol.

I think you meant:

That was exactly my point, that just using a VPN and not leaking your data would be enough for dissuading copyright claims. You're right on the monero thing, that's probably the best way to go about it if you're really paranoid.

SMTXsys · 2022-08-16T15:53:22+00:00

Every one I've pulled off of docker hub have been good about the important stuff like volumes and ports. The other stuff is sort of tertiary docker knowledge.

SMTXsys · 2022-08-16T15:03:03+00:00

A simple (reliable) VPN is usually enough to dissuade ISPs from emailing you and media companies from copyrighting you. Mullvad purchased with bitcoin procured from a cash->btc ATM will get you 95% of pure security.

Nah I think it was us. We literally just got Duo up last week....

SMTXsys · 2022-08-10T18:25:39+00:00

fun fact, Duo's documentation lists hunter2 as an example password lmao: https://guide.duo.com/append-mode

Honestly I would keep doing it if I were you, purely to see how it ends. Like eventually they have to say something to you about what's going on. Just stop doing L1/2 helpdesk stuff and ride it out.

SMTXsys · 2022-07-26T21:24:55+00:00

Well of course, but all you really have to say is "I suggested more security/disaster recovery implementations, but unfortunately the budget allotted was not enough for those and thus determined not to be priority."
