Using SCCM 2007 R3 I have done the following. Created a new package that has No program. It only points to Data Source for the files. This is for the SCCM client so the pacage points here: <Directory on site server>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Client This has been pushed out to all DP's. Created an Operationg System Install Package that points to the full source files for Windows 7 x64 (setup.exe etc......) Created a driver package that points to the NIC drivers for the hardware I am trying to deploy too. using dism.exe I added the NIC drivers to a custom boot.wim file. I created a task sequence that uses my custom Boot.wim and has this properties: restart in WindowsPE partition disk 0 apply driver package (and this points to my NIC driver package) apply OS apply windows settings apply driver package (and this points to my NIC driver package) apply network settings apply device drivers I have a collection that has 1 XP machine. On this collection I setup the policy polling to 2 minutes. I then created a task sequence advertisement and make this mandatory for my collection. It never runs. In the Status Messages within SCCM all it says is this: The program for advertisement "NA120003 has not yet started because the content for the package "NA10000C" - "*" (version 2) has not been acquired. Possible cause: The content for this program must be downloaded into the computer's cache, or the content could not be located. Solution: If the program is being downloaded, no action is required. The program will start once the download has been successfully completed. If the content can not be located, ensure that a distribution point with this content is available for this computer. Distribution point availability can be affected by roaming boundary configuration which is used to determine whether distribution points are classified as local or remote, or by enabling distribution points as protected distribution points. Distribution point availability can also be affected if you are using branch distribution points and the advertisement is configured with the option Run program from distribution point instead of Download content from distribution point and run locally. This is because branch distribution points do not support advertisements that are configured to run directly from a distribution point. What step did I miss or what am I doing wrong? mqh7

Did you check the mentioned package (NA10000C)?My Blog: http://www.petervanderwoude.nl/

I missed that. As it turns out that package is the custom boot.wim that was not on the needed primary site. thanks for the second pair of eyes.mqh7
