[mssms] Boot Wizard Only TS [jusdfa]

I have a button on mine to put it in the collection, and the validate validates it was successful.

That is correct, it is a timing issue. It places it into the collection after the wizard, the wizard does not place it into the the collection in the validate code.

Then it should pick up the TS that is advertised to it. Like chris said, if the boot media is optional, and you put it into a collection with a mandatory during the wizard (running before TS loads) the TS will pick up the mandatory when it sends in the policy request to see what TS to run.

Is your TS starting before the wizard exits? If it is then the TS is getting the optional before you put it into the mandatory.

Logs are your friends J Also be sure you do not have OLD files in MININT\SNSOSD\OSDLOGS

I occasionally forget to del the files in there when I am tinkering around and the TS will grab the old values.

Right but the webservice HasOSDADvert is much quicker than the Mandatory advertisement showing up. So what is happening is it adds to the collection just fine, it does a 5 second pause to start the first loop and does a HasOSDAdvert. Since it does have an advert via the Boot Wizard Only it exits out of the code thinking it can go on. Well at this point the Mandatory one has not shown up yet (Same problem as pxefilter.vbs being too quick).

The boot only is not set to a manditory advertisement.
The other TS advertisements are set to mandatory, so when the machine is added to the collection the mandatory advertisement wins.

Well the logic I do not understand is this:

He advertises the Boot Only Wizard TS to all machines, so it can be picked up via PXE right.

And then in the code he has them choose a collection, calls the AddtoCollection webservice which is fine.

But then he has a HasOSDAdvertisement. Isn't this a conflict with the Boot Only Wizard as all machines will always have an OSD ADvertisement with that one. How do you allow it PXE boot and only have 1 advertisement that is the true OSD TS.

Yup i am using it and you are correct Maik is on vacation.

He actually had to make some changes to the webservice DLL's because of issues we had and i dont think he posted the new DLL's yet.

What problem are you having?

Anyone else use Maik's method of advertising the Boot Wizard Only TS to all machines for PXE, and then having the wizard move the machine to the correct collection for the proper mandatory TS? Just curious. I am missing some logic and Maik is on vacation atm. =o
