Understanding the report: History - Specific task sequence advertisements run on a specific computer
I have deployed windows 7 OSD to computers which already had Windows 7 installed. (it should reinstall the machine) Normally it should look like this (only the beginning of the report) Report Name: Advertisement status messages for a particular client and advertisement Category: Software Distribution - Advertisement Status Comment: This report shows the status messages reported for a particular computer and advertisement. Parameters: Advertisement ID P012002D Computer 24XX95J Time Message State Name Message Name Message ID Record ID 4/30/2012 2:26:02 PM Waiting Waiting for content 10035 9756770 4/30/2012 2:26:15 PM Accepted Program received 10002 9756776 4/30/2012 2:31:13 PM Running Program started 10005 9756972 4/30/2012 2:31:16 PM Running The task sequence execution engine started execution of a task sequence 11140 9756973 4/30/2012 2:31:16 PM Running The task sequence execution engine started a group 11124 9756974 4/30/2012 2:31:16 PM Running The task sequence execution engine started a group 11124 9756975 4/30/2012 2:31:16 PM Running The task sequence execution engine successfully completed an action 11134 9756976 4/30/2012 2:32:02 PM Running The task sequence execution engine performed a system reboot initiated by an action 11142 9756996 4/30/2012 2:33:13 PM Running The task sequence execution engine started execution of a task sequence 11140 9757019 4/30/2012 2:33:13 PM Running The task sequence execution engine skipped a disabled action 11128 9757020 4/30/2012 2:33:28 PM Running The task sequence execution engine successfully completed an action 11134 9757032 4/30/2012 3:14:59 PM Running The task sequence execution engine successfully completed an action 11134 9757726 4/30/2012 3:14:59 PM Running The task sequence execution engine successfully completed an action 11134 9757727 4/30/2012 3:14:59 PM Running The task sequence execution engine successfully completed an action 11134 9757728 And in the end it states 4/30/2012 3:41:44 PM Succeeded The task sequence manager successfully completed execution of the task sequence 11171 9761039 So this seem to work perfectly The problem is that several of my computer have another report looking like this: Report Name: History - Specific task sequence advertisements run on a specific computer Category: Task Sequence - Advertisement Status Comment: This report shows the status for each step of a task sequence. If no record is returned, it means the task sequence has not yet started.

I know. But it is quite time-consuming to read 200 smsts.log. That's why I wanted to read the reports. Have anyone else seen this, and know why it happens? (the machines I so far have checked has been correctly reinstalled)
