Hi,

Our PC build guys are complaining that it takes longer to build a PC using SCCM OSD than it used to with SMS 2003 OSD. One reason for this seems to be the issue addressed in KB955955 where a delay of 90 seconds occurs between packages, and I'm testing out the hotfix for this. But something else that puzzles me is that the 'Setup Windows and ConfigMgr' task takes well over 5 minutes (which may not seem like much, but I'm trying to speed this up as much as possible), including a reboot, even though the ConfigMgr client is preinstalled in the image - the correct version, with the certificate deleted (and even including the Trusted Root Key).

I can see from the logs that the task sequence completely reinstalls the client regardless of the fact that it's already there. Does anyone know why, and whether it can be prevented from doing this? (Of course if you disable that whole step it just crashes the task sequence...)

TIA,

Ian

I think it has to do with the KB955955 msp update. It seems like this almost causes the whole client to get re-installed again during the task sequence.
