SP1 broke OSD

Hi,

I have had OSD working well, it was work a few hours before i upgraded to SP1.

Now i run OSD it gets to installing the SCCM client. It seems to install it but then OSD ends without installing any of my packages in the TS or install updates.

Also an updated client doesn't seem to be pushing out to my computers

Any ideas please?

Thanks

This will be the client install failing in your task sequence, which causes it. To bomb ou of the TS completely. Check your TS for what client package, and the parameters being used. Also, a make sure the client package is distributed to content locations

Hiya, this is the client i am using. Thanks

Please can i bump this :)

Just noticed its using the upgrade package. I changed it to the standard one. Why on earth did the upgrade change this?

Thanks

Did that fix the issue change the package

Yep that fixed it. Wish i spotted it before.

Really so I have to change all my task to use the other package.

So what's the upgrade package for and where does that get distributed? Like a normal package or can you add that in the osd after the normal package installs?

The upgrade is for upgrading the client software that has a previous version installed on your devices. If you don't want to use the update package you can use this - How to update ConfigMgr clients automatically… in SP1 | Configuration Manager Blog

I am just testing the upgrade package. I think i will use this as it will upgrade the client quicker and will be a benefit for devices that are offline a lot like laptops.

To get OSD working i used this package - "Configuration manager client package"

Testing found it works fine. If you want to make a collection that will dump the machines needing the client upgrade this query will work.

Code:

---

select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.ClientVersion < "5.00.7804.1000"

Have't tried my OSD yet but did notice that the PXE boot scren on PC boot seems to have changed slightly - need to catch it in more detail at some point
