Hello.

I use the Tivoli Proviosining Manager for OS Deployment 7.1.1.13 .

i try to deploy images to three computers. On each of these Computers the installation of Windows 7 x32 works fine . If i use Windows 7 x64 i get an installation error on each computer…

Can someone help me?

Sure,

do you have a screenshot of the error ? Or the error message ?

If possible, activity traces if you can attach them here

Thanks

Hello. I´ve found the Problem. Windows x64 is not able to create a System Partition during the Installation. What can i do on the
Tivoli Proviosining Manager for OS Deployment to solve this Problem?

Hello,

could you please give more details about failure? Screenshots, activity traces, debug data exported from server UI.

Thanks.

The computer will boot over the network. The computer gets a system profile. It starts the implementation. The first 5 steps of implementation work without problems. At the point where the base system is installed it will fail. It shows: Unknown error. Have a look in the log files …

I started an installation from a CD to see if it works then. At the point where I can determine the partitioning he showed me that I can not change it.

With Window 7 x32 The complete procedure works without problems.

Hi Patrik,

we can try to reproduce it: may you please provide activity traces (from both working x86 and failing x64 deployments) ?

Thanks

Francesco

Maybe there is a driver for the disc controller missing in the WinPE
x64
deployment engine. Could you check the driver list (Edit driver binding list).
