Just installed, trying it out on a fresh VM, that message is in the top left, nothing else happens.

'Upgraded to Dev build - same issue.

[Audigy35]

i have this issue on physical machine

[PowerShellCrack]

Please enabled PSDDebug and share PSDStart.log. If its getting stuck there, it may be seeing residual OSD files. Run a diskpart clean and restart PSD

I just upgrade my older PSD share to version 2.30 (main branch) using the Install-PSD -upgrade switch. I also updated:

• Certificates in PSDResources
• Bootstrap.ini --> the [default] section, Removed PSD properties* items and set PSDDebug to YES
• CustomSettings.ini --> All items replaced with main. Then enabled the adminpassword and changed the org info, TimeZone, and enabled dark theme

*The custom properties (eg PSDDebug, PSDDeployRoots,PSDPrestartMode,PSDLoaderLogo) are now native to PSD in version 2.30. These must be removed otherwise it does not process them.

I then ran Update Deployment Share and selected "completely regenerate the boot images".

I booted it up on a formatted disk and all is working.

Oh and I am unable to test a physical machine. I have been testing with VM's

[Audigy35]

thanks a lot powershellcrack your the man everything now works.
tested on physical machine asus d500tc desktop.

[Stu-the-Slayer]

Tried a new deployment share, imported an os, made a new ts from psd template, updated everything.
Now stopped at Validating network access to...
Now a red box error can't access the deploymentshare.
I've spend too many hours trying this - should be easier to get it to position to test :)
Looked at PDStart.log nothing in there with anymore clues.

[Stu-the-Slayer]

PSDStart.log
Log attached, debug mode enabled, don't see any more info in the log though.

[Audigy35]

your certificate maybe expired create new one.

[Stu-the-Slayer]

Running it on http while i test how it works. If i'd gone to the bother of certs for https i'd be really pissed off with the result :) Thanks

[Stu-the-Slayer]

Should I be bothered about this when i update things?

[PowerShellCrack]

Did you remove, the properties from Bootstrap.ini and CustomSettings.ini?

[PowerShellCrack]

if you need to remove PSD properties from Bootstrap.ini, be sure to update the ISO

[Stu-the-Slayer]

Both already blank - thanks for coming back though.

[PowerShellCrack]

Awesome. Usually when the deployroot is blank, its due to the PSDDeployRoots in the properties value. Can you confirm the iso has been updated? there should be a bootstrap.ini file in the X:\Deploy folder as well.

today i tried to deploy an asus gaming laptop model A15 FA506NCR which could not connceted to deploymentshare
an error about ssl trust could not be established webdav error.
The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust] the-underlying-connection-was-closed-could-not-establish-trust-relationship-for-the-ssl-tls-secure-channel

[PowerShellCrack]

make sure you export the whole chain to the PSDResources\certificates folder.

[Audigy35]

i tried other laptops and desktops no problem connecting to the deploymentshare only this asus laptop.

[Stu-the-Slayer]

So wiped the old deployment shares; and the web folders.
Ran the install script and let it create a new folder and share, set the iis bit also and checked it was available to browse from other clients.
All good. New Task Sequence from PSD template, Regenerated boot images.
New VM, boots up and stalls on Checking if there is an in-progress task sequence.......

[nicolux2006]

Same problem here. I tried it on an HP EliteDesk 800 G4 DM, HP EliteDesk 800 G3 DM, HP EliteDesk 705 G5 DM, HP EliteBook 845 G7, ASUS Vivobook M3402QA, ASUS ROG Strix B550-F WiFi II Mainboard. Everywhere I have the same Problem. Also when I wipe the Hard Drive via Diskpart is shoes the exact same

[rmiller-ch]

So I had a problem similar to this...when the PowerShell Deployment would start it would show my BGInfo and then hang on check to see if there were in-progress task sequences and then never move forward, almost as if it was frozen. Through trial and error, I changed the SkipBDDWelcome to YES instead of NO in the Bootstrap.ini and then it booted into the wizard just fine.
