Deployment issue after changing credentials in task sequence

Last week I wrote a blogpost about "Deployment issues with OSDPreserveDriveLetter parameter". In this blogpost I mentioned that OS deployment stops after installing the SCCM client. At the first application mentioned in the task sequence everything stops.

Error message in SMSTS.LOG:
- (__hrMethodRetVal == ((HRESULT)0L)) || (bFailIfMissing == false), HRESULT=80070002 (e:\NTS_SCCM_RELEASE\sms\common\inc\ccmxml.h,582)- 401 - Authentication failure on request with anonymous access, retrying with context credentials.

I solved above issue by creating and deploying a new task sequence, with all same applications and steps in it.
 

Now it comes: The issue has nothing to do with the OSDPreserveDriveLetter parameter, but with change credentials in the task sequence. After changing credentials (for example: Domain Join account and password) in the task sequence, the issue is back again. Errors are same as mentioned above.

Is this issue specific for SCCM 2012 with SP1 and has anyone the same behaviour seen in SP1? I cannot found this on the "List of System Center 2012 SP1 issues" (which is still growing).

I think the SCCM configuration should be okay, because with a copied task sequence it installs all fine again. Strange issue it is..

Update 4-6-2013: For it seems there's still no solution for this. Have seen this issue once at customer location, curious when it happens again..

  1. I'm seeing the same issue but only with x64 builds. I've been pulling my hair out for a week now and still not sure what the issue is or how to fix it.

  3. Henk - did you ever find the issue? I have this same issue on a Windows Server 2012 CM12 SP1 CU1 instance.

    1. I did multiple installations after this one at different customers, but never seen the issue again.. It must be installation-specific I think?

  4. I see the same issues all the time on physical hardware. On my VM's with the same TS it runs without any issues. My site server is Windows 2012 and I have IIS setup correctly according to documenation on technet. Anyone solve these issues?

  5. single or multi-site setup? Iv'e seen this where clients are homed to the wrong site, the network access account fails to authenticate to distribution points from other sites.

    1. This was a single-site setup. Just with a copy of the task sequence, click on verify once, and leave it that way. No probs anymore.
