7 Troubleshooting
The target server boots to WinPE but the task sequence doesn’t start
There are several possible causes:
• There is no network connection because the network adapter is unsupported
• There is no network connection because the boot image does not contain the necessary network
driver
• SCCM doesn’t recognize the target server
• One or more of the packages referenced by the task sequence are not available
To resolve this issue:
• Install a supported network adapter and set it as the PXE NIC.
• Use the appropriate HP ProLiant boot image.
• Ensure that the target server was imported with the correct identification information.
• Ensure that all referenced packages have been copied to a distribution point.
Updated or new hardware configuration input files were not used
To resolve this issue, update the HP ProLiant Hardware Configuration package to the appropriate
distribution points
After rebooting during the task sequence, the target server reports Invalid
system disk or BOOTMGR is missing
There are several possible causes:
• The boot order was not set properly and causes the machine to boot to the hard drive instead
of PXE/USB to continue the task sequence
• An error occurred during the Install Operating System step
To resolve this issue:
• Ensure that PXE is first in the boot order.
• Resolve the error that occurred in the Install Operating System step.
The target server fails to join the domain
When performing a Windows deployment to some servers with Broadcom network adapters, the
deployment is successful but the target server fails to join the domain.
To resolve this issue:
• Manually join the domain on the target server.
• Add a Join Domain or Workgroup task before the Reset Reboot Variable task. Configure the
new task to be identical to the Apply Network Settings task.
The inventory tool is installed but does not run
To resolve this issue, copy the package to a distribution point and advertise it, on a schedule, to
a collection.
