Well , i have searched a lot on internet and was not able to found any easy step by step guide to OSD in SCCM , even microsoft forum is not much clear for a beginner user.

Help me to do OSD at my enviorment and also help others by making a very simple guide for beginners in SCCM.

I have a SCCM working with Software Distrubtion at my enviorment . Now for OSD in SCCM i have installed PXE site role at the SCCM server. The DHCP and WINS are on another Box.

After that i have gone to OSD tab in SCCM and found 2 boot images in the tab x86 and x64 , are these PE boot images ? if so what will use of them , and where i have to put images and how to make it boot from PXE.

Are there any other requirements for which i have to check to make it work  

Logger, 

As far as i know "no" not mandatory.....Are u facing any problem? please elaborate your questions.

Thanks for elaborating the questions.. boot images yes this are PE boot images and will help you to boot the computer when you are deploying OS through SCCM.

You need to create the task sequence, which contains information of boot images,OS images, application after installing the OS and advet the task sequence to group of PC's

I believe this post will certainly help you http://blogcastrepository.com/forums/t/35584.aspx

Please post the questions if you stuck up some where...

 Here we go , how i am doing OSD is like firstly i have installed the PXE service role , after that i have distributed the x86 PE boot image to both DP's ( Server one and the SMSPXEIMAGES one) but in the package status its showing "installed" for the site and for the SMSPXEIMAGES its showing "install retrying" . I have checked the account name and password which have full rights . Also there is no share with the name SMSPXEIMAGES$ . Why its not creating that share for PXE boot images ?.

The CAS.log have a single line ----

GetLogonUserSid failed at GetTokenSids 0x800704dd

The execmgr.exe shows ----

The user has logged off.

A user has logged on.

The logged on user is domain\user

The user has logged off.

Execution Manager timer has been fired.

What to do now ?

from which log file i can find it out , i am copying some content of distmgr.log
