Solution

Please make sure sccm admin user name is added correctly inside SCCM console.  I found out my SCCM admin console was corrupted which causing me can not add user correctly. For example, I added domain\user at the SCCM console, but, it changed to localhost\user.
What I did was, i removed the SCCM admin console from MMC at following path:
С:\Users\<[USER]>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\MMC\ for Windows Vista, 7, 2008.
C:\Documents and Settings\<[USER]>\Application Data\Microsoft\MMC\ for Windows XP, 2003.

Then, add the user into SCCM console again.

Da lang..... My SCCM admin console can run remotely :)

Good luck to you.

Failed to send HTTP request. (Error at WinHttpSendRequest: 12030)

Scenario:

I got error messages in my ccmsetup.log for my SCCM Native Mode agent installation via command prompt:

Failed to send HTTP request. (Error at WinHttpSendRequest:12030)
DownloadFileByWinHTTP encountered an unrecoverable error


To solve this issue:
I was able to proceed my client installation by:

1. Go to Site Database > Site Management > SCCM Site > Site Settings > Site Systems > 

2. Click at the \\Server

3. Select the ConfigMgr management point

4. Check the "Allow devices to use this management point"

Then, I rerun my client installation command as "ccmsetup.exe /native:FALLBACK /mp:sccm.poc.com smssitecode=ICG ccmfirstcert=1"

My agent is appearing in my SCCM console now. :)

Task Sequence: Image Capture Wizard has failed with the error code

Scenario:

I got Task Sequence Error when I try to capture image for my Windows 7.

The error message is as below:

Task Sequence Error:
Running: Image Capture Wizard
Description:  Task Sequence: Image Capture Wizard has failed with the error code (oxoooo4005).

After some research, I found out there is a maximum 3 time limit to capture image from same computer.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766514(v=ws.10).aspx
" Each OS capture will run sysprep command which will reset windows product activation. However, there is a max 3 times per computer limit for the sysprep command. After the 3 time, the clock to reset Windows Product Activation can no longer be reset."

Solution: 

To overcome this 3 Sysprep time limitaiton, following are the walkaround:

1. Open regedit and look for:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Status\SysprepStatus\CleanupState\

Set to value: 2

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Status\SysprepStatus\GeneralizationState\

Set to value: 7

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\SkipRearm

Set to value: 1 

Then, run the command:
msdtc -uninstall (wait a few seconds)
msdtc -install (wait a few seconds)

Then, reboot the system and try to run sysprep again.

It is working to me. Good luck to you. :)

OSD: Boot from USB

I wanted to boot the OS from offline media (USB) for a HP laptop. I have changed the BIOS setting which enable boot from USB.

However, the laptop dint boot from the USB drive after I restart the HP laptop.... >.<
After few attempts, I pressed F9, it prompted me the "Boot sequence". I choose USB as my 1st option and then restart again.

Finally, my OSD boot from USB!

Happy trying!

Tips for Boot sequence setting:
IBM - F2/F1
HP - F9
Dell - F12
