Reply To: Moved: Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) Hi all, Anyone ever setup SCCM? I’ve setup a separate domain in vmware on a different Ip range and now given it no internet access meaning i can just use…

Hi all,

So been playing around with the MECM, was able to get the TS to add the machine to AD groups so that in software center, certain software was available to that PC from the get go.

Not used it much for last 3 or 4 months, pwoered on the VM couple of days ago and…. it no longer boots…. brings up a menu of options and complains about security violation etc.

So looked into it, found several possible solutions.  It appears a windows update has caused this and the solution is to either update ESXi to 7.0.3k (or newer) (I’m on 7.0.2 as 7.0.3 was pulled when I set it up due to complaints and issues).

So basically had to go in turn off virtualisation security think was 2 sections had to turn it ff in VM settings.  Then was able to power it on, then run win updates which i hadn’t realised but it had started to pull a CU update which contained the update required and now I’ve re-enabled the virtualisation security and all ok.

Now I have another issue….

IF i setup a new VM and power it on, it PXE boots and gets to the MECM screen to etner pswd etc so thats perfect.

IF i try a physical laptop, PXE boot it, I get:-

server IP: x.x.x.x

NBP filename is SMSBoot\x64\wdsmgfw.efi

NBP filesize is 0 bytes

pxe-e23: client received TFTP error from server

 

So not had much success solving this…. I mean MECM must be ok as VM and laptop on same network, VM works, laptop doesn’t..

On the router i have added a manual DHCP entry for the MAC of the adapter I’m using on the laptop and set it to the MECM server for DNS (same i did with the VM mac address)

Not sure why its not working.

everything online says don’t’ use DHCP scope options, not supported by MS, use IP helper BUT with my ASUS rt-ax86U router and my HP 1810-24g switch I don’t have a option to add a Ip helper so not sure on solution here….
