Status: offline 		Anyone having difficulties deploying to unknown computers with R2? Works fine if I pre-stage the account. I've enabled the option to support this feature and have created the advert as per SteveR's blog http://blogs.msdn.com/steverac/default.aspx

Getting an error in the smspxe.log file on the MP:

Status: offline 		PXE SP is working, I can deploy to machines that have been pre-staged in the database, it's just unknown machines that aren't picking up the adverts.

But I'd appreciate any links that may help.

Cheers
Mark.

Status: offline 		Figured this out, after much hair loss!!  The 'All Unknown Computers' collection was defined as:

select SMS_R_UNKNOWNSYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_UNKNOWNSYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_UNKNOWNSYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_UNKNOWNSYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_UNKNOWNSYSTEM.Name from SMS_R_UnknownSystem where Decommissioned = "0"

Now, there are 4 entries in my UnknownSystem table, 2 decommissioned & 2 not. Once the collection was updated to include the 2 decommissioned entries I had in the table, it worked a treat.

Strange.

Status: offline 		ID advice on using custom solutions for deploying "Unknown" computers.
Very easy to slip & accidently install computers you do not want to install & you have better control over different deployments if you make rolebased installations.

Jus a tip.
