The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Solution Accelerator for Business Desktop Deployment
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003 SP2

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Solutions Accelerator for Business Desktop Deployment (BDD) together with Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2), the Zero Touch Installation (ZTI) Windows Operating System Deployment process may stop responding during the State Restore phase. When this issue occurs, you may receive the following warning message:
Security Warning The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?
Note If you receive this warning message, you can respond to it by clicking Run. The process should continue until it is completed.

CAUSE

This issue occurs when the following conditions are true:
  • You use the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) in the Systems Management Server hierarchy.
  • You use the computer name of the server for the UDShare parameter and for the SLShare parameter in the CustomSettings.ini file.
Under these conditions, the Microsoft Windows operating system generates a security warning message when the ZeroTouchInstallation.vbs script runs the OSDConnectToUNC.exe file.

In most cases, you cannot see the message box, and the State Restore phase will appear to stop responding.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, you must modify the ZeroTouchInstallation.vbs script. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. In the ZeroTouchInstallation.vbs script file, locate the following lines.
    Line 3813: 	LogInfo sLogFile, "About to call OSDConnectToUNC to connect to " & sServerUNC, LogTypeInfo
Line 3814: 	sCmd = """" & sOSDConnectToUNC & """ """ & sServerUNC & """ " & arrSplit(0) & " " & arrSplit(1) & " " & arrSplit(2)
  2. Add "cmd /c" to the command line on line 3814, as in the following example.
    Line 3813: 	LogInfo sLogFile, "About to call OSDConnectToUNC to connect to " & sServerUNC, LogTypeInfo
Line 3814: 	sCmd = "cmd /c """"" & sOSDConnectToUNC & """ """ & sServerUNC & """ " & arrSplit(0) & " " & arrSplit(1) & " " & arrSplit(2) & """"
  3. Save and then close the script file.
