CM2012 SP1 – No default boot images available / "Only finalized boot images are supported"
7:57 am in adk, CM12, ConfigMgr, ConfigMgr 2012, ConfigMgr 2012 SP1, mcaffee, SCCM 2012, SCCM 2012 SP1, WAIK by Kenny Buntinx [MVP]
Issue : When you do a fresh install or you do an upgrade from Configmgr 2012 RTM to SP1 , you will see your install/upgrade failing with “No default boot images available” or "Only finalized boot images are supported" . The Configmgr setup log file will confirm that the migration/creation of boot images did not succeed.
Adding the boot images manual isn’t working neither. You will see the following error message :
Reason : You have the following components running in your environment :
- McAfee VirusScan Enterprise (VSE) 8.8 Patch 2
- Microsoft Windows Assessment and Installation Kit (WAIK)
- ADK (Assessment and Deployment Kit)
- Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2012 / SP1
- Microsoft Configuration Manager 2012 RTM / SP1
Solution :
Issue during upgrade from RTM to SP1 : If you find yourself in this situation where boot images didn’t get updated during site upgrade, you can manually update the boot images using the following instructions:
- Rename the boot.wim and the default boot wims in each architecture folder of the <smsinstall>OSD\boot\ folder – both the i386 and x64 to <wim>.bak
- Starting with the i386 folder first…Find the install folder of the ADK, which should be here if you installed with the defaults: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\x86\en-us\winpe.wim”. You will need to copy the winpe.wim to the <smsinstall>OSD\boot\i386 folder. Rename it to boot.wim.
- You will also need to copy it again, but this time rename it so it matches the name of the default boot wim for the site – so it should look like boot.<packageid>.wim
- Update default boot image.
- Click “Execute Method” -> input object path as SMS_BootImagePackage.PackageID="<Image ID you see in the Console e.g. POL00001>" -> UpdateDefaultImage
- You will need to do this for the x64 folder as well. Do not do this for any custom boot images – this is just to update the default boot wims installed during setup of the site.
Before full install or upgrade :
Folders to exclude from AV scanning:
· Temporary folder for these cases is C:\Windows\TEMP\BootImages\{GUID}. Exclude C:\Windows\TEMP\BootImages and subfolders.
· Temporary folder for offline servicing is <X:>\ConfigMgr_OfflineImageServicing and several subfolders used for different purposes – staging files, mounting OS, etc. – where <X:> is the StagingDrive value from the Offline Servicing Manager section of the site control file. If this value is missing, we use the drive where the site is installed. Exclude <X:>\ConfigMgr_OfflineImageServicing and subfolders.
