Hello,

I've got SCCM 2012 SP1 with MDT 2012 Update 1, booting from USB media.  Some of our areas do not have DHCP, and our server builds will never use DHCP.

Sometimes, when trying to enter static IP information, I get an error message, saying "Enter the DNS server IP address", even though there is a DNS server entered.  When checking the smsts.log file, I have the following entries"

The thing is, the DNS server IS set if you do an Ipconfig, BUT the DNS suffix is NOT.  It's like the error message is misleading.

Also, the log points to the E:\ drive under the line:

FALSE, HRESULT=80004005 (e:\nts_sccm_release\sms\client\tasksequence\tsmbootstrap\tsmedianetworksettings.cpp,1283)	TSMBootstrap	7/2/2013 12:20:16 PM	1672 (0x0688)

When I try to navigate into my E:\ drive, I can't, it says the device is not ready. There isn't any device that should be E:\.

How exactly are you setting the IP information during the TS?

The E: drive referenced has *nothing* to do with the system the TS is running on; notice that it is referring to a C++ source file. That's there to help the developers troubleshoot issues in the source code.

Thanks for that info, Jason.  I didn't realize that.

I am setting the IP information with this dialog:
