The Boot Image is Not Currently Available on the Selected Distribution Point

Hi,

At a pure (educated) guess, you have only distributed ONE boot image, e.g the 64-bit one. As I mentioned previously, you always need BOTH. This is by design. Distribute both boot images. Always.

Mike

As you can see both boot images were distributed to the DP

Can you ping the distribution point from the PC? maybe it maybe a networking issue and the computer cant communicate with the DP

All Roles are in the same SCCM Server.
the default Boot Images come with SCCM
They are distributed to DP.

The Reference computer is able to ping the SCCM Server and vice-versa.

OK - I warned you it was a guess :).  That's the most common mistake by far.

I also mis-read your post. This is not even booting is it. This is at the task-sequence wizard stage!


Check the box shown on the boot image. For the wizard CM needs to access the share on occasions. The error message is correct but rather misleading.

Mike,

What do you mean by

Check the box shown on the boot image.

?
the error below might give you a clue to help me resolve the issue:

Hi,

I attached a screenshot with my previous answer but it did not upload after all that!
Regardless, yes the new screenshot shows it is probably not the reason: you have distributed the boot images but it's failed, so you haven't distributed anything in fact.
Given the boot images are on the SAME machine is the path to the file OK? i.e. go to Properties of the boot image and find the path then check the file is IN that path.

Once done, look at the distmgr.log log file. Check for errors. The probable cause is this: ERROR DPConnection::ConnectWMI() – Failed to connect to (servername). error = 0x8004100e SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER

In which case you need to install another IIS role as shown here:

Whilst there please double-check ALL the roles SCCM needs are enabled (as per that screenshot).

SCCM is VERY unforgiving of bad setups. You will make mistakes in the beginning because setup is fiddly and everybody makes mistakes the first few times they install it. Yes, several times later it will be nearly there!! I realise you're learning but check and double-check things to make sure everything i is dotted and t is crossed.

Given the boot images are on the SAME machine is the path to the file OK? i.e. go to Properties of the boot image and find the path then check the file is IN that path.

Which Tab under properties you can see the path ?

Thank you very much!!!
I will check that when I get back to SCCM Lab
