Please suggest ideas I could try to solve this. Thanks. The Issue ----------- OSD fails on Physical PC's, (but succeeds fine on Virtual PC's) Error : 80004005 after image is selected. Replication steps on Physical PC -------------------------------- Usual upto WinPE -> Initializing Windows PE I press F8 Usual 'Initializing Network' LTI option pops up to select image, which I select and click Next A split second after "Next" is clicked, error 80004005 pops-up On the CMD window alongside, I confirm the following - - Ipconfig - OK - ping to MP - OK - map drive to DP Image package - OK (using network access account credentials) - access to C: drive - OK - "X:\> dir *.log /s" yields only 3 0-byte log files. I guess logging has not started yet. Checked MP_location.log on MP, but cannot find any entry of this IP in there. On the same physical PC above, if I boot to XP and setup a virtual PC and perform the above steps, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- no problems and BDD is fine. (I can find entry of the IP in MP_location.log as soon as I click 'Next' as above.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other information ------------------ * For the above we have swithed to LTI * New boot image was created 2 weeks ago. Since then, only successes have been reported. Above error only reported since yesterday. * Problem is with only a few adsites, all belonging to the same Primary site. Even in these there are rare successes, but mostly same failures as above. Other primary sites are fine. * Network team has confirmed that there have been no changes in the recent past on the affected ADSITES. * Boot images generated as usual using "Task to create OS installation CD" for all primary sites in the same way, just the Primary server selection was changed. * Upgrade to SCCM/MDT is planned in 2-3 months (in case you wonder why BDD!)
