RE: OSD Image Deployment via SMS advertisement (cannot connect to

Now, I'm getting a bit disturbed. I put in a domain admin account for the
advanced client network access account and it works. I am assuming that it
didn't work before because the software distrubution settings weren't
replicating to the client or I wasn't updating the userpolicy. Eitherway,
the domain admin account fails once, waits 10 seconds, failes twice, waits 20
seconds, and then succeeds.

The account that isn't working has full rights to the software distrubution
share (smspkge$). It also has admin rights on the destination computer.
What could possibly be the hold up? I'm not sure why one account is working
and the other isn't. In my server's security log, there are no failures.

Okay... I rebuilt my test machine, advertised my package to it, and it's now
showing the new software account as the username when trying to deploy the
package. It's still failing though with the same error. In the sms admin
console, I have the advanced client network access account in domain\username
format but in the event viewer and the osdinstall.log file, it shows bad
username and or password.

Shouldn't it show username = na(domain)\smssoftinstall ??? That's what I
put in the advanced client network access account field. Maybe the
documentation is incorrect and it needs to be in username@domain format? I
don't want to change my network access account and have to wait for all the
other clients to replicate the change to find out. the documentation should
be correct, so I will assume it's correct.

Someone please chime in at any time. I feel i'm talking to myself here.

Okay, I guess It's up to me to resolve this. This is day three of my
headache and I think I'm coming to an end of it. What I found out is that
during the package execution for an OSD image deployment via an
advertisement, the program creates the minisetup folder on the root of the c:
drive. In this folder are a few subfolders and a logs folder. In the logs
folder, there are two logs. One log tells you the account that is being used
to test for software distrubution. It appears that my client isn't receiving
the updated software distrubution account that I set with limited
permissions. I've tried several policy refreshes to see if I can get that
information in, but it still uses the same account. I'm going to rebuild my
test machine and push the package again. If it shows the old account trying
to access the share again, then I know it's tied to the package and I will
rebuild my package now that I have a new advanced client network access
account set.

This has been a headache, but I think it's almost over. I love this stuff.

Good Morning,
Here's my scenario:
Windows Server 2003 R2
Standard Edition
Service Pack 1
SMS 2003 2.50.4160.2000 Build 4160 (AD Scheme Extended, Advanced security)
OSD Feature Pack installed.

I am trying to deploy a test image that I built using the OS Image Capture
CD I created from the SMS Admin Console (Right-click image packages).

Once the wim file is copied to the server's network share that I manually
created, I open SMS admin console, right-click on image packages, and select
"new>operating system image package".

The new package is created. I modify the properties to include the network
drivers (same source as used for the image capture CD, same test computer, so
I know the drivers are good.)

After I add the network drivers, I then create an operating system program,
add the key code, and accept all the defaults.

I then create an advertisement targeting my test machine to deploy the
package to. I make it so that the user can run it independently.

The client (XP pro, sp2, firewall off/disabled, file sharing on, etc...)
receives the advertisement.

The client's execmgr.log file shows:

After that log, I check in the event viewer and see under the system log
that the osdagent_service was sent a start control, started, stops, and then
gives me "The OSDAgent_Service service terminated with the following error:
A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been
terminated.

I have been receiving this scenario if I have a generic account set up in
Advanced Client Network Access account, if I have a domain admin's account
listed, if I have no account listed.

I wanted to test to see if the client even attempts to run the app, so I
renamed osdlaunch.exe to osdlaunch.exe.old. Sure enough, I received an error
that the file was not found. So, I know the package is being contacted, but
its' failing. I'm getting a status code of 0 returned because to the
distribution point showing the success of the passing of the command line.

In the SMS admin console's status message viewer for the advertisement, it
goes like this:

User created and advertisement...

SMS Offer manager successfully processed advertisement...

Advertisement was received...

the program for advertisement "fs20019" has not yet started because the
content for the package has not been acquired.

Program started for advertisement "FSS20019" ("FSS0000E" - "Please Work").
Command line: "\\HQSMS01\SMSPKGE$\FSS0000E\OSDLaunch.exe"
Working directory: \\HQSMS01\SMSPKGE$\FSS0000E\
User context: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

The program for advertisement "FSS20019" completed successfully ("FSS0000E"
- "Please Work").

AND THEN THIS:

The OS installation failed to connect to the distribution point
\\HQSMS01\SMSPKGE$\FSS0000E.

Like I said before, I have tried domain admin account in the advanced client
network access account and it still doesn't work. It appears to contact the
share and access it when i rename files. Someone help... Please?!!???
