Hi all,
Recently i got this problem with SCCM installation :-
SCCM - SCCM 2012 SP1
The setup went fine but after the installation Boot images were not created.
So i thought of importing the boot image from WADK.When i tried to import any .wim file (boot image or OS) it Gave me this error :-
"The specified UNC path does not contain a valid wim file or you donot have permission to access it.Specify a valid path."
I checked & rechecked all the permissions & they were proper but still the same error.
Steps Taken :-
1. Reinstalled WADK.(Same issue remains)
2. Executed the command line mentioned here (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/steverac/archive/2009/06/26/unable-to-import-wim-into-sccm-console.aspx) - Same Issue Remains.
The installation log file shows these errors :-
Later After searching the issue from the start i came to this conclusion :-
The version of WADK which i installed was 8.1 which is currently not supported with SCCM 2012 SP1.
Uninstalled it & installed WADK 8.0 & everything worked fine.
After this you do have to import the Boot images & USMT package in sccm.
I created Boot image from wadk using these commands :-
copype.cmd amd64 c:\winpe
copype.cmd x86 c:\winpe-x86
These commands will create x86 & x64 boot images after creating two folder in c drive i.e winpe & winpe-x86.Boot files are present in in c:\winpe\media\sources folder.
Add this boot images to SCCM & it works fine.

Great Article, Thanks
ReplyDeletethanks man I'm sorry microsoft to believe you again
ReplyDeleteYou saved my a**. I upgraded the windows AIK to 8.1 to try to pxe boot newer pc for the UEFI and after that I lost the boot images and could not figure out how to get them back. I created new boot images and all is good again. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteGlad it solved the problem !!
ReplyDeleteI had the same error message, though the fix to the problem was to add some permissions to the Local Security Policy.
ReplyDeleteI added the SCCM service account to:
- Access this computer from the network
- Allow log on locally
- Log on as a batch job
it solve my problem
ReplyDeleteGlad to know that...!!
