PENDING Code 84 when running task sequence OSD

[smurray]

DNS settings are not being transferred into WinPE.

The environment has statically assign IP's and DNS servers. Task sequence OSD is proven to work in the environment but recently has hit a snag with more Code 84 errors.

Error code snippet:
Adapter with MACAddress '5c:60:ba:33:36:5f' is not connected, ignoring that there is no network connectivity yet in WinPE and applying adapter settings. TSBootShell 2/9/2026 6:22:32 PM 1784 (0x06F8)
If ultimately there is still no network connectivity when program proceeds, then delays/retries further along will kick in. TSBootShell 2/9/2026 6:22:32 PM 1784 (0x06F8)

Failed to set DNS settings for adapter (0x80004005) TSBootShell 2/9/2026 6:22:32 PM 1784 (0x06F8)



Things I have tried:
1. Manually capturing the settings with this script: https://gist.github.com/Recast-team/c76fce8ba772d0319befd416b761cea9
2. Multiple Microsoft tickets

does this mac address 5c:60:ba:33:36:5f belong to the correct NIC? Just wondering if the step is querying the wless adapter by mistake?

yes, that mac address is the correct NIC. It's weird that it says its not connected because the NIC is in use at the time the task seqeunce starts. It transfers the IP, subnet mask, and gateway correctly. DNS servers are the only thing having issues setting correctly

so if you press F8 as the TS starts, then ipconfig /all, is the DNS ip set correctly? Can you ping that address at this point?

No, the DNS gets switched to IPv6 while IP, Gateway, and subnet mask are IPv4. Within this environment, IPv6 is not used or configured in any capacity

Perhaps you can show us how it gets set in the TS and how we can make it work

Sure. I use the built in step to capture network settings. pasting screenshots of the smstslog... this is the log of another impacted device so this MAC is different

OK, what I have done in the past for similar situations is disable ipv6 on you boot wim and redistribute. Or set some variables before the capture to disable it.

I disabled IPv6 in the boot wim and confirmed by remounting and running a reg query. What variables did you use to disable it?

OSDAdapter0DNSServerList
Value = your dns server ipv4 address

OSDAdapter0DNSDomain
Value = your domain name

 

[smurray]

OSDAdapter0DNSServerList
Value = your dns server ipv4 address

OSDAdapter0DNSDomain
Value = your domain name

I tried a variation of this with the following script:

$NetworkInfo = Get-CimInstance Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | Where-Object {$_.DHCPEnabled -eq $false}

#Setup TS Environment

try

{

$tsenv = New-Object -COMObject Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment

}

catch

{

Write-Verbose "Not running in a task sequence."

}

$tsenv.value('OSDAdapter0IPAddressList') = $NetworkInfo.IPAddress[0]

$tsenv.value('OSDAdapter0SubnetMask') = $NetworkInfo.IPSubnet[0]

$tsenv.value('OSDAdapter0Gateways') = $NetworkInfo.DefaultIPGateway[0]

$tsenv.value('OSDAdapter0DNSServerList') = $NetworkInfo.DNSServerSearchOrder[0]

$tsenv.value('OSDAdapter0DNSSuffix') = $NetworkInfo.DNSDomainSuffixSearchOrder[0]

if ($NetworkInfo.DHCPEnabled -eq $false)

{

$tsenv.value('OSDAdapterCount') = 1

$tsenv.value('OSDAdapter0EnableDHCP') = $false

}

else {$tsenv.value('OSDAdapter0EnableDHCP') = $true}

Its missing the OSDAdapter0DNSDomain but manually capturing the network variables did not help either
