Errors During Dell Provisioning Service (DPS) Installation

on System

When installing DPS on a system other than the site server, if you specify incorrect system name or user

credentials for accessing the site server, the information is not authenticated by the installer, and the

installation is completed.

However, when DPS is trying to access the site server, failure to access the site server occurs. When such

failure occurs; from the DPS installation directory location, in the file import.log, check the log

information for this error message:

ERROR2011-10-14 03:01:02 - SCCMProxy::Connect()-Failed to connect - Error The

RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)at

Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.ManagementProvider.WqlQueryEngine.WqlConnectio

nManager.Connect(String configMgrServerPath)

If the error message is present, then install DPS again and provide the correct system name.

Deploying the operating system on Dell’s 13th generation

of PowerEdge servers using WinPE 3.0

As the drivers for USB3.0 are not available in WinPE 3.0, the OS deployment may fail if the BIOS config

settings for USB 3.0 Setting and Memory Mapped I/O above 4 GB are enabled.

Solution: To boot to winPE3.x (32–bit and 64–bit) in BIOS boot mode on R730, R730 XD, R630, and

T630, disable USB 3.0 Setting and Memory Mapped I/O above 4 GB.

You can update disable the Usb3Setting and MmioAbove4Gb settings in the BIOS Config window by

creating a profile on theSystem Viewer and use it for deployment. For more information, refer to the Dell

OpenManage Deployment Toolkit Readme.
