Hi Jeff:
Well, I set an IP range boundary up yesterday to cover the
system we were trying to deploy, and I also copied the configuration manager
client package. We then pointed the task sequence to the new package and its
further along, its failing out now on a driver package, but I think that’s a
different issue and not related. I personally think the IP range boundary is
what fixed it myself.

This thread has taken a winding road. . .Ryan, have you made any progress on
resolving the challenge? If not, have you looked at the logs and does anything
stand out in them? Perhaps that is where you are seeing the initial error, but
smsts.log would be the first place to look. If you are PXE booting to WinPE,
you can get to a command prompt with F8 (if that is enabled on your boot image)
and then look at smsts.log in X:\Windows\Temp\SMSTSLog. It will give you an
idea of where the system is trying to go for content.
The other thing you mentioned is that this is a migration from 2007. Are all
migration jobs complete successfully and everything you expect migrated? I
guess also, is the client in question looking at the correct site?
Thanks,
Jeff

It is a built in package,
SCCM controls it. Have to hack the DB to refresh it

So really odd, I can validate the package on that DP and it validates
successfully but I can’t remove it, the remove button is greyed out for some
reason. I actually can’t edit the package at all and I’m not sure why, I have
rights to it in security.

failed to resolve PackageID=䊘Ȏ
that's a package problem (in wmi) on whatever dp it's referring to, i would
revalidate the package on that dp or use smsdpmon to validate it, if that
doesn't help, remove the package from the dp, and then re-add it

I made an additional one. I did not like it when the built in one auto
incremented when I installed hotfixes etc.
With an additional one I can control when os deployment goes down

Hi - I don't think it's necessary to create another client package from
definition - That might have been a 2007 thing.
The Configuration Manager Client Upgrade package is also pre-defined, and can
be deployed to systems to upgrade them from say SP1 to R2, for example, and
where applicable.
As for the OSD task sequence indicating that it can't find the client package,
have you tried to update the content on the distribution points? This might
also be helpful, if you run into not being able to distribute the client
package:

Hi:
So we’re getting errors in our OSD task sequences saying the task
sequence can’t find the files needed for the Configuration Manager Client
Package. We do have such a package available, it appears to have been created
when SCCM was set up but I really can’t change any of the options for this
package. In doing some web research I’m finding this is by design for some
reason, and you’re supposed to create a new Configuration Manager client
package from definition. So I guess two questions. First, what’s the point of
the Configuration Manager Client Package in the first place if you can’t do
anything with it, and if you’re supposed to create a new Configuration Manager
Client Package from definition how is that done? I have definitions for Device
Management Client Transfer and Configuration Manager Client Upgrade. Should I
use the Configuration Manager Client Upgrade definition?
Thanks a lot for any help, finding this very confusing.
