Hi

Dou you have any other DHCP running in your network?

Might be that the other DHCP catches the clients before the VM does.
You can also block the Mac Address of the affected clients on your non opsi DHCP. Then they dont get ip addresses from this specific DHCP and the VM DHCP should accept your clients.

hi m.radtke

thank you for your replay. 1i have reconfigured the VM.
I have to create a new VLAN without DHCP on my router

I now have different errors at first I need to create the clients first with the MAC address and IP and then I get the following error

Failed to mount '//opsi/opsi_depot': Command '/binmount -t cifs -0
"iocharset-utf9,domain-opsi,credentials=tmp/cifs-credentials.opsi" //opsi/opsi_depot /mnt/opsi' failed (1)
mount error: could not resolve address for opsi: Unknow error

[m.radtke]

mount error: could not resolve address for opsi: Unknow error

the name opsi is not known in your dns configuration
i would suggest to change the samba mount to use the opsi IP address instead of dns name. This can be done in the depot configuration within the configed.

bootmgr not found in winpe, please check winpe folder on server

[m.radtke]

Well the error says it all.

You need a winpe to deploy a Windows

I would suggest you to read the opsi getting started in how to prevent further errors like driver Integration

following folders and the winpe is empty

create_driver_links.py

extract_driver_pack.py
installfiles
opsi
opsipreparelib.py
opsisetuplib.py
setup.py
show_drivers.py

You have to create a winpe like described here

http://download.uib.de/opsi_stable/doc/ ... arted.html

"Creating a PE"

or

use a winpe based on

Dear wolfbardo

you could give a more detailed explanation about.

use a winpe based on
http://download.uib.de/opsi4.0/experime ... 1.0-1.opsi

Do i have to download this file in put it in the winpe folder

i have copy all installfiles of win2012-r2 in to the installfiles

Hi,

the package wolfbardo pointed you to is an opsi package that you install on your opsi server and run it on an existing client.
you can either integrate existing clients into your opsi server or deploy them.
You currently need a WinPE.
I would recommend to read this section of the getting started.
http://download.uib.de/opsi_stable/doc/ ... ckages-nt6

The getting started describes all the steps needed from server install to client deployment and also WinPE creation
