Let me first say that I am new to SCCM/SMS and have a background in working with Altiris Deployment Solution. Altiris has went dramatically downhill since Symantec took it over, and as such we have decided to move towards SCCM as a replacement. With that said, I have SCCM installed and configured in Native Mode with OSD working great until it completes the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr Task. After that point I only have software packages configured to install. Now, it may seem odd that we require these packages right off, but we are a K-12 institution and most of our software/web apps are reliant on one of these apps to work properly. Here is the XML export of the Task Sequence (I have excluded the OS and Driver portion of XML to save in space, as those parts are working OK): <?xml version="1.0"?> <SmsTaskSequencePackage

Can you please post a screenshot of your TS? How did yo create the TS? This message in the log looks interesting as I've never seen it before: "The action (Setup Windows and ConfigMgr)" Perhaps the configmgr agent failed to completely install. Have you reviewed ccmsetup.log on the client in c:\windows\system32\ccmsetup (32-bit) or c:\windows\ccmsetup (64-bit)?Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | Twitter @JasonSandys

I believe I just went through the TS creation wizard and then edited it to add my driver and software packages.

Hi, I see the following errors during deployment in your smsts.log "In SSL, but with no client cert" and "In SSL, but with no media cert" When SCCM is running in Native mode, just try the following then: Change the "If multiple certification match criteria" setting in the site mode tab of the site properties to "Select any certificate that matches". (this setting is only available in Native mode) Have you configured you certificates right? Step by step (sample): http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb694035.aspx Also an error message is seen in the ccmsetup.log: "\\rcssccm\SMS_TIS\Client\ccmsetup.exe /mp:rcssccm /logon /nativ SMSSITECODE=AUTO FSP=rcssccm" Invalid argument: /nativ (this must be changed to /native) My ConfigMgr blog: http://henkhoogendoorn.blogspot.com Follow me on Twitter: @henkhoogendoorn

"In SSL, but with no client cert" from my understanding is a harmless warning. When in a TS in PE, since I'm not running the job from the SCCM client on a Windows environment in a domain, the Windows environment doesn't have a certificate for itself, therefore its running with the network service account's certificate I have specified. At least that is my understanding. I honestly don't know how/why that argument is in the log file of CCMSETUP.LOG. Its from February when I was originally working on this (working in K-12 causes you to get pulled of projects for extended periods...I originally started this in December). The issues I'm having right now should be limited to 3/25/11. Certficates are right. I can perform OSD (aside from software installation in the TS obviously), can install the client via Push or standalone, and can create mandatory and nonmandatory software advertisements that install through completion. Its only the install within the TS that I have problems with.

Hi, I get it, but have you tried above recommendations? 1. Change the "If multiple certification match criteria" setting in the site mode tab of the site properties to "Select any certificate that matches". 2. Change the Program (Command line) of the Configuration Manager client. Invalid argument: /nativ (this must be changed to /native) Also check the smsts.log during deployment for getting the exact error message. This can be found at many places. See this page for that: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrosd/thread/ed3cf289-befb-432d-85d8-054a5f3da213 My ConfigMgr blog: http://henkhoogendoorn.blogspot.com Follow me on Twitter: @henkhoogendoorn

1. I didn't have to try them because the settings were already set. 2. I can't be any more clear on this one...that error is from 2/28/11. My first attempt at having software deployed with the TS was on 3/25/11...no earlier. I posted the contents of the smsts.log on my first post. I honestly don't see how this could be a certificate issue since every other piece of the OSD works, AND I can deploy software using an advertisement. However...with all that said, I did have a realization a few moments ago about the image I am deploying. As per the fact the ccmsetup.log has entires before 3/20/11 (when this laptop was delivered to me from Dell), i believe I was using the image source machine to test SCCM client deployment and software deployment VIA advertisement. I did however uninstall the client and deleted & revoked the computer's certificate before creating the image. I made this image strictly as a test image earlier this month and have a production image in the works (only work on it in my spare time). I am going to finish this production image (has no SCCM client on it) and try this process again.
