Fixed PXEMedia creation "BCD Creation" ERROR
Hello ME Community,
I have found a solution to an issue with BCD Creation during "creating bootable media"
The problem exists within the BCDCreationPXE.CMD batch file located at %DesktopCentral_Server%\bin.
Specifically in section :PXEBCDCreation
The script never specifies the VOL or directory" for the CMD session.
If your CMD session opens to S:the batch file will fail to find/recognize "BCDedit" ( start of the batch command)
Here is the original code:
:PXEBCDCreation
if exist "%BCD_OUT_DIR%\BCD" del "%BCD_OUT_DIR%\BCD"
if errorlevel 1 goto PXEBCDDeleteError
bcdedit -createstore "%BCD_OUT_DIR%\BCD"--------------------this is where the error happens
if errorlevel 1 goto PXEBCDCreationError
bcdedit -store "%BCD_OUT_DIR%\BCD" -create {ramdiskoptions} /d "Ramdisk Options"
if errorlevel 1 goto PXEBCDCreationError
bcdedit -store "%BCD_OUT_DIR%\BCD" -set {ramdiskoptions} ramdisksdidevice boot
if errorlevel 1 goto PXEBCDCreationError
if %WINDOWSIZE_OPTIONS_ENABLED% == 1 (
bcdedit -store "%BCD_OUT_DIR%\BCD" -set {ramdiskoptions} ramdisktftpblocksize 1456
if errorlevel 1 goto PXEBCDCreationError
bcdedit -store "%BCD_OUT_DIR%\BCD" -set {ramdiskoptions} ramdisktftpwindowsize 16
if errorlevel 1 goto PXEBCDCreationError
)
I updated the code to the following and it is working correctly:
:PXEBCDCreation
if exist "%BCD_OUT_DIR%\BCD" del "%BCD_OUT_DIR%\BCD"
if errorlevel 1 goto PXEBCDDeleteError
C:
CD C:\Windows\System32
bcdedit -createstore "%BCD_OUT_DIR%\BCD"
if errorlevel 1 goto PXEBCDCreationError
bcdedit -store "%BCD_OUT_DIR%\BCD" -create {ramdiskoptions} /d "Ramdisk Options"
if errorlevel 1 goto PXEBCDCreationError
bcdedit -store "%BCD_OUT_DIR%\BCD" -set {ramdiskoptions} ramdisksdidevice boot
if errorlevel 1 goto PXEBCDCreationError
if %WINDOWSIZE_OPTIONS_ENABLED% == 1 (
bcdedit -store "%BCD_OUT_DIR%\BCD" -set {ramdiskoptions} ramdisktftpblocksize 1456
if errorlevel 1 goto PXEBCDCreationError
bcdedit -store "%BCD_OUT_DIR%\BCD" -set {ramdiskoptions} ramdisktftpwindowsize 16
if errorlevel 1 goto PXEBCDCreationError
)
After this change was made we were able to create and deploy images.
Please note: You may also have to set the "%BCD_OUT_DIR%" Environment Variable.
Thank you,
