Re: [Landesk] Problème déployement via Pxe, Ip reste local

Pretty much 100% guaranteed that the (correct) NIC-driver isn't being loaded / associated.

 

Some NIC's tend to be "difficult" (let's keep it diplomatic) and you may need to hard-bake the driver into the WinPE image. So yeah, it's a driver problem (unless your DHCP is refusing to serve that client for some reason, but a simple Wireshark can verify that).

 

===========

 

Contacting support doesn't cost you anything, assuming you've got a maintenance agreement in place. It wasn't a "cash grab" approach, but rather "hey, in case community folks can't respond, the folks at support usually handle this" matter. That's all.

 

In case you don't have one with us, and/or with a partner instead, you can reach out to them as well.

 

But ... I'd be astonished if you're not dealing with a "simple" NIC driver problem. The workaround of "hard" baking that NIC driver into the WinPE image is something that's not new (depends on the NIC's companies use ... some work better, others not so much).

 

That should hopefully help you .

Provisioning a HP Thin Client

I am having difficultly capturing an HP Thin Client image to use in provisioning.  I have captured the image using HP's software and it creates a .ibr file and to change this to a .tbi file I am lost.  I can create an iso using their tool but it doesn't allow me to boot up to it in a VM to capture.  There are old documents for how to do this but none of the links work it appears.  Is anyone aware of the process they use or can provide me the instructions.  If I PXE to the thin client the capture fails each time.  Maybe there is a way to get that to work?

Is Provisioning possible through the CSA?

I've only messed with Provisioning Templates on the local network but now I am looking to expand into the remote field, but its not looking like I can utilize Provisioning through the CSA.  In my experience CSA packages or deployments need to be accessed via http: and when a provisioning task starts it tries to download the files it needs into the root of C:\ldprovisioning only via UNC.  This is failing on my end, but no way to switch the download to http. 

 

Is it even possible to do this through the CSA? Has anyone done it?

Re: How to make provisioning select Drive 1 instead of drive 0

You could add IF (or IF/ELSE) conditions at the start of the OS installation and run a file like diskpart or execute a script as part of the IF.

 

This would use whatever logic you want, e.g. look at the number of installed disks or available drive letters to determine that you have a second local drive available etc and thus install to drive 1 instead of drive 0.

 

Diskpart can do this or maybe WMIC. I believe WMIC works natively in WinPE. Something like "wmic logicaldisk get caption" would list the available drive letters.

 

After the various IF interations you'd run the deploy image action based on the return results.

Are you planning on using this to deploy software or upgrade existing OS vs trying to build a computer from bare metal?

 

As far as I heard, Landesk doesn't even really recommend doing major agent upgrades over the CSA.

I am looking to deploy software only.  I like the Provisioning interface for our users when doing a lot of packages (10+) for new PC setups vs Bundled packages.

Is this an old-school tool? I don't see reference to it in Landesk 2016+.

 

It sounds like inf or driver files are being copied but not installed. You need something like HII after building and setting up your driver database or, more simply (IMO), just mount the install image with dism and install the NIC/Storage drivers needed for the various models.

 

IMO, the less layers the better. DISM installing drivers to the image for me is 100% works every time where HII can be flaky and is not necessary easy to maintain, but I only have a few models to contend with.

I haven't tried it myself but are you using "deploy software", "Install mapped software" or copy file/execute file to create the deployment template?

 

Also, I think for CSA deployment of software packages, only the core server is a valid http download location. So, depending on what you're doing in the template, you need to make sure the check boxes to install from a preferred server or peer are unchecked.

I'm doing only "deploy Software" I also have all my packages pointing to http: shares.  The issue I'm seeing at least on my end, is it is not getting to the point to even attempt to deploy software.  When Provisioning kicks off, it needs to download source files to get everything running:  They are downloaded in C:\ldprovisioning on the client.  A bunch of stuff gets downloaded there like the SDclientHandler.exe, the files for the GUI, etc.  Everything runs self contained in that folder.  However, when downloading those source files, its only trying to get them via UNC, which will not work coming back to the CSA.  I just don't see anywhere that you can change this behavior. I can certainly deploy regular packages and bundles via the CSA all pointing to via http shares.  It appears that if i can just get over the hurdle of downloading these C:\ldprovisioning files, I would be golden.

Batch file that adds 2 registry entrys fails during Provisioning

I'm running landesk 2016.3

I'm provisioning a Windows 10 machine, ver 1709

During provisioning I have a batch file that fails. It is set to install under current user account. If push it to a logged on computer it works as long as I have it set to run under the current user account.

During provisionining it always fails,

 

During Provisioning after CTOS the computer logs in on the Administrator account to continue provisioning. I've placed the install after joining the domain, before joining the domain, changed it to run as system account and domain account but it still fails.

 

The batch file just has 2 lines both REG ADD.

That sound interesting, I am using if/esle for some other steps, and it would be very interesting to use the way you metionet.

Do you maybe have any existing example you could provide please?

Note the important gotcha when doing any kind of SoftDist via the CSA:

  • All of your packages MUST be hosted on the Core itself!

 

... the CSA can't (/won't) reach out to "MyFileserver" ... it'll only ever talk to the Core (a desired security limitation).

 

So if your packages are configured to be hosted somewhere else, that'll trip you up.

 

<It might be as simple as that>

 

I'm not 100% sure if the provisioning agent will talk across the CSA ... you can try it first with "regular" software dist / patching (just to confirm that things "are in place" for you to succeed) ... and once that works, switch over to the same package(s) being attempted via provisioning?

Do you have any issues with running the batch as part of "regular" SWD?

 

And/or is your problem perhaps on account of not having specified whether this should be run in 64-bit mode?

Running the batch file as a SWD works fine.

The architecture was set for not applicable so I've changed it to system architecture and it still fails.

Humm - you may want to approach Support with that (particularly if they can dupe the "Provisioning versus SWD" behaviour disparity with your batch).

 

I've seen one support guy ask about similar sort of behaviour, so could be a pattern evolving here. Certainly odd and it does sound like you've checked the sensible things that's usually source of grief here ...

 

Most peculiar.

I'm trying one more thing. My thoughts were that with a SWD the full agent is on the computer already but during Provisioning a basic agent runs till the full agent is installed. My batch file I'm trying to run right after CTOS so I'm running it again after the full agent is installed.

I only do this after CTOS because the is a popup about windows update that comes up and I'm trying to suppress it.

Hmm - you COULD try & throw in a reboot after the agent install // "let things finish" and use Provisioning-based distribution of the package on a full agent to see if that works.

 

Some things of ours (/dependencies) really do want a reboot or two, so that may not be an unrelated point!

 

Well considered!

It worked so apparently you can't run any packages during Provisioning until after the full agent is installed which in this case really does not do me any good.

Mac Deploy Image Failure 2017.3

Hello All!

 

I have a question about his error I am getting when I try to deploy a High Sierra Image to on of my new Macbook Pros. The attached pictures shows both the error I am getting and my Deploy template. I was able to capture my image the other day, but so far have not been able to deploy it to the same machine it was captured from. I took out the step or formatting the partition just to see if there was something wrong there, but it still does not deploy. Any guidance on this error would be fantastic! Let me know if you need any kind of clarifications to anything.

 

Thanks!!

I have the same issue SpencerTC describes. No UMA folder exists. I didn;t have the old core to grab the xml file from. I tried creating the UMA folder manually and dropping in a sample config file found from here, but still didn't have any luck getting the "Edit" button to work. In my case, its not greyed out. It just doesn't work. Anyone have any updates on this?
