I am hoping that a fellow user of Smeart Deploy or support person may be able to help me out with a problem/inconvenience I have run into.
I am running smart deploy from a WDS server, currently on Server 2008 R2 so that I can boot to and install our images via PXE.
The problem that I am running into is that I am not able to run more than 1 install at a time when using Smart Deploy. When I have a second, or more installs running at the same time the installation always freezes at the exact same spot. I have tried to look at the log files but cannot find anything. The spot that the install freezes at is immediately after "Apply Image 2 of 2" but right before "Updating Boot Code".
If I run a single machine at a time or wait until one machine restarts and begins SysPrep there is no issue at all. The install will move from "Apply Image 2 of 2" to "Updating Bood Code" without any hesitation at all.
We have a large deploying occurring soon and we need the ability to image more than 1 machine at a time. Having to sit there waiting for Smart Deploy to finish and SysPrep to begin is a waste of time and makes using the unattended installation worthless.
Issue while running multiple imaging instances at once.
