Very nice hydration kit for ConfigMgr 2012
Get it here:

The changes will be reflected in the Supported Configuration pages within a few months.
Microsoft Application Virtualization 4.6 SP1 is now supported on Configuration Manager 2007 R3 with Configuration Manager 2007 SP2
System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R3 with System Center Configuration Manager SP2 now supports Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) 4.6 SP1 Desktop Client and Application Virtualization Client for Remote Desktop Services. This client release enables support for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
The following are the limitations and workaround to import App-V packages using Configuration Manager.
Configuration Manager fails to import App-V packages when there is more than one XML in the package folder. App-V Sequencer 4.6 SP1 creates the file Report.xml when creating an App-V package. Configuration Manager expects to find only one xml file in the package folder and will fail when it identifies more than one XML file in the folder. To work around this problem delete the file report.xml manually from the package folder before you import the App-V package.
No software updates are required.
A bit further using PowerCFG…

New features in Windows PE 3.1:
Windows Automated Installation Kit for Windows 7 SP1 can be downloaded from Microsoft Download Center, or directly using the direct download link: waik_supplement_en-us.iso (English).
To install the WinPE 3.1 for Windows 7 SP1 supplement, mount the ISO image and copy the content on the DVD ISO image to replace the Windows AIKToolsPETools folder.
This commandline will re-authorize the WDS Server in DHCP 🙂
wdsutil /verbose /progress /initialize-server /reminst:”e:RemoteInstall”
The errors when boot a PXE Client was:
PXE-T01: The specified file was not found.
PXE-E3B: TFTP Error – File Not Found
With procmon i noticed the file was existing at the path queried.
The error occurred after upgrading from SCCM SP1 to SCCM SP2.
I did a clean install of the SCCM with SP1 and after that i upgraded with SP2.
Seems to be related to the WAIK installtion that comes with SCCM SP1.
Remove the already install WAIK, Reinstall the latest WAIK.
That solved my problem.
the error shown in smsprov.log :
e:nts_sms_fresmssiteserversdk_providersmsprovsspbootimagepackage.cpp(2948) : Failed to read image property from the source WIM file due to error 80004005
its rather simple, create an entry in the “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftActive SetupInstalled Components” key. the entrees in this key is the stuff you se in the upper left hand corner during first log on. (the Personalized Settings box). Most if not all entries in this key will be in the GUID format, but it does not have to be..
Open REGEDIT and follow the instructions below.
Now just reboot and log on with a different user, and notepad will be executed during logon.
If you want to set this with a script ,then here small one for disabling the Windows Media Player wizard.
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
RegPath="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftActive SetupInstalled Components{Z-UserSetup}"
oshell.RegWrite Regpath & "Stubpath", "reg.exe add HKCUSOFTWAREMicrosoftMediaPlayerPreferences _
/v AcceptedPrivacyStatement /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f", "REG_SZ"
oshell.RegWrite Regpath & "Version", "1.00", "REG_SZ"
oshell.RegWrite Regpath & "@", "Accept MP Privacy Statement", "REG_SZ"
you can add as many as you want, just remeber the execution order.
so…. the problem seems to be VM Ware’s VM Server 1.0.4… (ESX/GSX) .. Could give some very “funny” problems when running a cluster with 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 nodes.. DOH!
Download the Intel e1000 drivers from http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=1878&lang=eng for both XP and Vista. Put them in D:DriversIntel
using Windows AIK command prompt:
1. In the command window, run copype x86 c:winpe to initialize my WinPE environment.
2. Run the imagex /mountrw c:winpewinpe.wim 1 c:winpemount command to populate the image folder.
3. Run the peimg /inf=D:DriversVMWarescsi*.inf /image=c:winpemount for all drivers (e.g. SCSI, NIC,etc.).
4. Run the peimg /inf=D:DriversIntelPRO2KXP*.inf /image=c:winpemount for the Intel e1000 drivers.
5. Add the ..WindowsSystem32wdi.dll from a Vista machine to the c:winpemountWindowsSystem32 folder.
6. Run the imagex /unmount /commit c:winpemount to update the c:winpewinpe.wim.
7. Run the oscdimg -n -h -bc:winpeetfsboot.com c:winpeiso c:winpewinpe.iso to generate the boot ISO file.
edit the *.vmx file to add the entry Ethernet0.virtualDev = “e1000” after Ethernet.preset = “TRUE” entry using Notepad.
The configure the VM to use WINPE.iso creating in Step 7.
