Hi,

i'm running a test lab with SCCM 2012. I have only one Site Server which is also the Distribution Point and ist doing PXE. I'm booting up a virtual machine, it's loading the WinPE Image and then i can choose my Task Sequence. After this i click Next and the Process immediately Fails with the following error message :

Failed to run Task sequence
The task sequence cannot be run because the program files for HQ100001 cannot be located on a distribution point.
For more Information, contact your System Administrator or Helpdesk Operator.

HQ100001 is the ID for my Configuration Manager Client Package.

What i checked is:

• Content Status Shows that HQ100001 is 100% distributed to the DP.
• Also all other ressources i am using for this Task Sequence (OS, Boot Image etc.) is 100% distributed to the DP.
• My Network Access Account is a Domain Account which is also local Administrator on the SCCM Server.
• Site and Component Status is all green and showing as OK.

Do you guys have any idea what the Problem could be?
Which log files would you start to take a look at?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Stefan

While i was writing this post i figured out that i did create Site Boundaries and a Site Boundary Group, but i didn't add the Site Server to this specific Boundary Group...
Added it now and it's working like a charm.

Thanks

Stefan

Thank you soo much! Your answer saved me another couple of hours. Just added the right boundaries and OSD is working!

Thanks Stefan - Your suggestion worked out great for me as well.  Just finished deploying window 8 entp using sccm 2012. 

Boundaries configured correctly but still have the same issue.

Hi, you also need to associate your distribution point with your newly created boundary group. This is done under administration - security - distribution points.

Hello all.

I have the same issue, but the boudaries configured normally and DP is associated with them. But, if I check Distribution status of OS Image, then I see it is "In progress"...

distmgr.log does not contain any errors about this package.

I already tryed to set the radio button "Automatically download content when..." in the package Distribution Settings and update the DP, but with no luck.

What can I try to do for fix this issue?

Update: solved. It was the boundaries :) I just make new IP network for testing purpose, but, of cause, forgot to add this network to boundaries... Don't make my silly mistake :)
