Operating System Deployment Fails in Microsoft

Windows Server 2003

When the operating system deployment fails in Microsoft Windows Server 2003:

1. Make sure that you select the appropriate mass storage controller driver in the Apply Driver Package

step of the task sequence.

2. Uninstall and reinstall the Dell Server Deployment Pack Version 2.0, and then use the PowerEdge

Deployment ToolKit Configuration Wizard to re-import the same version, or import an older

version of Deployment ToolKit into Configuration Manager.

3. After uninstalling the Dell Server Deployment Pack, delete the shortcuts from the Start menu, if

available.

If you are upgrading the Dell Server Deployment Pack, delete the shortcuts of the previous version

from the Start menu, if available.

NOTE: While importing a computer, make sure that the computer name you enter starts with a

letter. Else, the deployment will fail.
