Hi Jeff: Well, I set an IP range boundary up yesterday to cover the system we were trying to deploy, and I also copied the configuration manager client package. We then pointed the task sequence to the new package and its further along, its failing out now on a driver package, but I think that’s a different issue and not related. I personally think the IP range boundary is what fixed it myself.

This thread has taken a winding road. . .Ryan, have you made any progress on resolving the challenge? If not, have you looked at the logs and does anything stand out in them? Perhaps that is where you are seeing the initial error, but smsts.log would be the first place to look. If you are PXE booting to WinPE, you can get to a command prompt with F8 (if that is enabled on your boot image) and then look at smsts.log in X:\Windows\Temp\SMSTSLog. It will give you an idea of where the system is trying to go for content. The other thing you mentioned is that this is a migration from 2007. Are all migration jobs complete successfully and everything you expect migrated? I guess also, is the client in question looking at the correct site?

The Configuration Manager Client Upgrade package is also pre-defined, and can be deployed to systems to upgrade them from say SP1 to R2, for example, and where applicable. As for the OSD task sequence indicating that it can't find the client package, have you tried to update the content on the distribution points? This might also be helpful, if you run into not being able to distribute the client package: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/11df0f63-d146-434d-91f3-c4e826fee92c/redistribute-configuration-manager-client-upgrade-package-xxx00003?forum=configmanagermigration -S _____ From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] what's the deal with the configuration manager client package? Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2014 16:47:44 +0000 Hi: So we’re getting errors in our OSD task sequences saying the task sequence can’t find the files needed for the Configuration Manager Client Package. We do have such a package available, it appears to have been created when SCCM was set up but I really can’t change any of the options for this package. In doing some web research I’m finding this is by design for some reason, and you’re supposed to create a new Configuration Manager client package from definition. So I guess two questions. First, what’s the point of the Configuration Manager Client Package in the first place if you can’t do anything with it, and if you’re supposed to create a new Configuration Manager Client Package from definition how is that done? I have definitions for Device Management Client Transfer and Configuration Manager Client Upgrade. Should I use the Configuration Manager Client Upgrade definition? Thanks a lot for any help, finding this very confusing.
