Update 4-6-2013:
In the task sequence choose Add > General > Set Task Sequence Variable. Fill in the following information:
- Task Sequence Variable: OSDPreserveDriveLetter
- Value: False
Just add this command before the Apply Operating System step.
Now it comes: When creating a reference image without the parameter, this must be included during OS deployment. When deploying a task sequence without the parameter, everything goes fine, but Windows 7 is installed on the D: drive. When deploying a task sequence with the parameter, deployment stops after installing the ConfigMgr client. No applications are installed and no certificate is available in the ConfigMgr client. Also the ConfigMgr Site can't be found by the ConfigMgr client.
Error message in CCMSETUP.LOG:
- File C:\WINDOWS\ccmsetup\{1AF71F68-6089-4211-ADDC-06DF40606141}\client.msi installation failed. Error text: ExitCode: 1603
- Client installation has failed too many times. Ccmsetup will now abort.
Next thing to try is to create a new reference image with the parameter included. When creating a reference image with above step, the parameter isn't needed anymore during OS deployment. However, OS deployment stops again after installing the ConfigMgr 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. Then it all was working again. I'm happy that it seems to work now, but doesn't get why it didn't the first time? Anyone recognize the error messages?
