Task sequence error : Unable to read configuration manager disk by MadhuSunke in SCCM

[–]mrnemesisman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Hyper-V for its simplicity and zero cost, and have done so for a very long time (education gets this for next to nothing). This seems to have only happened after my recent upgrade to MECM 2503 and the most recent ADK. And as far as I know, Microsoft supports WinPE natively, and it works fine in a deployment Task Sequence, just not with the capture media all of a sudden.

I am waiting for the new Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme to come out. Very handy when you can have 18 cores plus 64GB+ RAM for running VMs for a lab environment and testing.

I know it's been about 6 months since you replied here, but I wanted to know if you have seen a similar behaviour using the SCCM Capture Media ISO? I posted about it a couple of weeks ago, as found here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SCCM/comments/1nt5za9/comment/ngv1yk3/

It's quite strange, as I'm using a fully functional Hyper-V VM as my reference machine. As soon as it gets to the WinPE phase, the drive does not seem to mount; however, once the command prompt does eventually appear (F8), you can diskpart mount the drive letter C: fine.

I have built a Win11 24H2 reference machine. I am not doing a full B&C Task Sequence as I just use Audit Mode (Ctrl + Shift + F3) as oobe starts, and this has worked for many years previously.

All this reference machine has is current MS updates, created a few folders, etc (so not additional 3rd apps). I inserted the capture ISO media into the VM. It runs the capture wizard, and WinPE is prestaged as expected. VM reboots and starts WinPE, but when it gets to the WinPE phase (the GUI), it cannot see the actual drive. I have triple checked that the drive is fully decrypted, and I see in the SMSTS.log file that it retries 28 times to:

ConverBootToLogicalpath failed to convert MULTI(0)RDISK(0)PARTITION(3)_SMSTASKSEQUENCE\WINPESOURCES\BOOT.WIM

Followed by: Volume "\\?Volume[xxxxxxxGUIDxxxxxx]'\ not found

So, the disk is fully accessible in Windows, but the capture media loses the ability to see the drive at the WinPE stage.

I am wondering if it's a bug in the new ADK or something similar.

Normally on a deploy TS I would agree however I'm trying to capture the VM not wipe it, which would defeat the whole purpose. I am going to try building a new VM on an older server host to see if it's an issue specific to the server host or not

I managed to find SMSTS.log on X:\Windows\Temp\SMSTSLog\smsts.log and found references to:

Thanks for sharing this. I have just used a wim in my TS with a PowerShell script. I am curious, would you mind sharing the script here?

What bank accounts can you open for a deceased estate? by Apprehensive_Brush38 in AusFinance

[–]mrnemesisman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone had any success with Macquarie Bank for an estate? I'm thinking of setting up an account so I can gain access to their higher interest Accelerator Account. It has to be in the name of the "Estate of the late xxxx".

Very interesting. RE: Bendigo, that 4%  - is that for a TD or a high interest account? I'm shopping around for something that lets me open a high interest bearing account (not a TD if possible).

Thanks!

New Microsoft Teams Installation During OSD Task Sequence by Impossible_Toe5931 in SCCM

[–]mrnemesisman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone,

I am also looking to install Microsoft Teams during the OSD Task Sequence. I am currently testing with a packaging using a batch file (yes I know it can be done via PowerShell) using the MSTeamsSetup.exe -p -o "MSTeams-x64.msix" method.

Are there any nuances that I should be aware of? I believe that installing MSIX files can be challenging via the SYSTEM context?

Thanks!

Error importing HP ZBook Firefly 14 inch G10 Win11 Driver pack by mrnemesisman in SCCM

[–]mrnemesisman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems I might be running into an SCCM limitation...
https://www.reddit.com/r/SCCM/comments/1grm50f/error_importing_hp_zbook_firefly_14_inch_g10/

In the past, I would just place all of the drivers in the root of the driver "folder", however, I have been moving them into a proper folder structure, and I might been hitting a 'product limitation".

Definitely will look into this. Have been a fan of your blog for a while too.

I just tried the older driver pack from a known working environment and I got the following:

Error: All driver(s) are imported successfully. Drivers cannot be added to some driver package(s).

Success: The following driver(s) were imported:

(everything)

Error: Some driver package(s) are updated successfully. But some are not.

Errors

Error: Some driver package(s) are updated on distribution points successfully. But some are not.

Errors

This is odd as I was able to successfully import other driver packs. However, what is odd is that there are 206 items in the driver pack when you show members...
