  • 1.  DS 7.1 Jobs not running from Initial Deployment

    Posted Apr 24, 2013 01:38 AM

    I setup a new Site Server on a Vm that was given to me. I pxe boot machines and I get the intial deployment window. I select a deploy image job and nothing happens. I have 4 tasks in my Job, partition, lay image down, install updates using dism and reboot. The partition and deploy image tasks fail with error 1. The other two succeed.

     

    Any ideas why this could happen? Imaging through other pxe servers is fine. I tried on 2 out of box machines and failed on both.

    First, I need to understand - does "nothing happen" or does the job run and fails during the partition step?

    We do have a known issue with partitioning that may require you to reboot to recognize the partition.

    However, if you're laying down an image, that blows away partitions anyway, so why have a partition task?  Perhaps what you need to do is select an advanced option in imaging and only use part of the disk?

    Please explain a bit more so we can better help, like WHY you need to partition the disk.  IF you are using scripted OS installs, that makes a lot more sense for instance.

    Thanks!

    PS.  I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say "imaging on 2 other PXE servers is fine."  Imaging has nothing at all to do with PXE, and happens on the task server to which you are connected while in automation.  If another task server is working better than this one, with the same job exactly then we need to look at what may be wrong in WinPE.  You could grab the automation logs and look at that as well for instance.  Maybe the systems are not connecting?  This goes back to the first question - does nothing happen, or does the task actually fail (not with a time-out, but actually fail)?

    I looked into the agents logs and I see the issue. I ran a simple disk wipe and I see mapping to DS share is failing. Here are the logs

    Issues resolved, turned to be Infosec team were blocking rpc calls to DC.

    oh nice.  Thanks for the update.

     

    For anyone else reading this, note the "command to get NW Credentials failed" message, and remember the resolution in this case.
