PENDING Unable to find a Windows system root at C Element not found Error: 80070490

[Adrian Chlosta]

Hello Guys,

i have a problem with the SCCM when it comes to the PXE boot.
The PXE boot starts normally up to "Preparing Network Properties" because a reboot happens and the smsts.log is created.

Win2012 R2
SCCM 2012 R2
Same Network Segment

What I've been tried or cleared up so far is:

The Physical Client receives an IP address and can ping SMS providers. (excludes wrong network drivers)
The content has been redistributed [Image]. (was often advised as this would fix the problem)
It happens with all computers and not only with this one. (basic problem which did not occur 2-3 weeks ago)
Rebooted Server.

PXE is active and Required an Password by using PXE.
Respond for incoming PXE request allowed and for all Network Interfaces.

smsts.log is in the appendix

thanks for your effort.

Adrian

Hello, I have the same problem, but it's hard to debug because it's not persistent. Some time the OSD TS completes correctly and some other times not...
