You have created a
new Task Sequence in SCCM, from your Central Administration Site. This Task
Sequence will be used to deploy an entirely new Windows 7 x64 SP1 image
to client devices. In the first instance you PXE boot a new device and try and
run the Task Sequence, it fails with the error This Task Sequence cannot be
run because the program files for TSID cannot be located on a
distribution point. For more information, contact your system administrator or
helpdesk operator.
As the Operating
System images and the Task Sequence were provisioned in on the Central
Administration Site Server my first thought was that I had forgot to Distribute
Content from the ribon. Therefore I went ahead and done this again to
ensure it was done.
When this did not
fix the issue immediately I looked at the Content Status of the newly
created software from Monitoring/Distribution Status and it appears the Distribution
Manager was still replicating the content to other sites/DP's.
I then clicked on View
Status and it reassured me that the content is being redistributed.
Although quite a bit of time passed and it still remained in the In Progress
state.
After around 2
hours, the Content Status changed to Success and the light turned
to Green. It transpired in this instance the Active Directory did not
have Sites and Subnets properly defined, therefore it is my guess that this
caused the of the lengthy delay.
