[ConfigMgr 2007] “Failed to Run Task Sequence - This Task Sequence cannot be run because the program files for <package_ID> cannot be located on a distribution point.”

I’m trying to build a machine.  The “Task Sequence Wizard” runs and I choose the Task Sequence I want to run but it fails almost immediately with the error:

“Failed to Run Task Sequence

This Task Sequence cannot be run because the program files for <package_ID> cannot be located on a distribution point. For more information, please contact your system administrator or helpdesk operator.”

I’ve checked the Package in question is on the DP and distributed okay and it is.


ANSWER: 

Try running a different Task Sequence and see if you get the same error (although for a different Package ID).  If you do then chances are the machine is on a subnet that is not defined as a boundary in ConfigMgr.  Moving the machine to a subnet that was defined as a boundary in ConfigMgr resolved this issue.
