WDS/RIS „Dies ist kein gültiges installations- Abbild“

Beim Hinzufügen eines WIM-Installationsabbildes (kein Startabbild) zum WDS über die WDS-Konsole erscheint die Fehlermeldung Dies ist kein gültiges installations- Abbild.“. Stimmt auch fast – nur die Meldung ist gelinde gesagt „irreführend“. Das passiert schon mal, wenn das Abbild direkt aus einer laufenden Maschine heraus nach einem Sysprep mit imagex erstellt wird.

Die Lösung ist, dass die Integration der unattend.xml an dieser Stelle obligatorisch ist. Ohne Antwortdatei hält die WDS-Konsole das Abbild nur für ein Startabbild, nicht für ein Installationsabbild. Natürlich ist dieser Fall auch nicht dokumentiert. Dem Sysprep muss zwingend eine unattend-Datei mitgegeben werden und schon läuft das Image.

  • Es gibt noch einen zweiten Fall in dem das passiert: Wenn das WIM-Image nicht von der Windows-Installation stammt sondern nur von der Bootpartition des Systems. Vorher mit diskpart und „list volumes“ kurz prüfen … und sich im Fehlerfall wundern das imagex in 2 Sekunden ein Windows 7 Installationabbild erstellt haben will.

Windows Server 2008r2 DHCP Bug(s)

Bei zwei DHCP-Servern unter Windows Server 2008 R2 bei zwei Bereichskonfigurationen (die typische 70/30 Verteilung z.B.) und identische Reservierungen werden Reservierungen gerne mal spontan (und natürlich sporadisch) gelöscht. Alternativ geht das auch mit einem Server, wenn ein DHCP-Client die abgerufenen IP-Adresse mehrere Male freigibt (bzw. schnelle Hardware unter windows CE oft rebootet). Dazu gibt es dann die kreativssten Fehlermeldungen in der Verwaltungskonsole wie „Die Adresse ist nicht verfügbar“ oder „Die IP- oder Hardwareadresse kann nicht verwendet werden“ und allerliebst auch „Es ist ein interner Fehler.“ (Ja, nichts weiter. äußerst Hilfreich).

Zum Glück gibt es einen (natürlich nicht öffentlichen) Hotfix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981776/en-us
