    Can someone tell me, how to change the SMS site code, when i run the Parallels Netboot Configuration Wizard.
    I run it on my Primary site, but when im about to finish, it chooses my CAS server instead.
    Ive tried to rerun it many times, both as "local server" and the Remote server (Primary Site IP address.)

    Hi Christoffer,
    In Parallels Netboot Configuration Wizard log (pmm_netboot_config.log) you should see line like "Site code is set to XXX". What site code is printed?

    Hello again :) Thanks for The reply. this is just a small look into the logfile...
    01-22 10:49:31.699 I /NetBootCfgUtils:3452:239c/ SMS SiteCode: 006
    01-22 10:49:31.716 I /NetBootCfgUtils:3452:239c/ TFTP root: G:\RemoteInstall
    01-22 10:49:31.730 I /NetBootCfgUtils:3452:239c/ SMS DP ContentLib: G:\SCCMContentLib
    01-22 10:49:31.752 I /logrotate:3452:239c/ Log rotator started
    01-22 10:50:20.064 I /pma_netboot_config:3452:239c/ Site code is set to CAS

    Later on

    01-22 12:39:02.238 I /NetBootCfgUtils:4104:adc/ SMS SiteCode: 006

    As i understand, the wizard set the SMS site Code to CAS - But It is Actually not case here! ;)

    I also got this, from the pma_Netboot_Service.log
    01-26 10:27:14.435 D /pma_netboot_service:2692:1958/ 10:9A:DD:59:BF:A1: BSDP
    • :Replay port: 812
      01-26 10:27:14.436 D /pma_netboot_service:2692:1958/ No images available for client 10:9A:DD:59:BF:A1/MacBookPro6,2.

      Ive imported the netboot image, and distributed it to all our DP's.

    I managed to firuge it out myself. I had to change the keys manually: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\pma_netboot_service\Parameters

    Currently it is implemented using "Unknown Mac OS X Systems" collection. Please refer to Admin Guide for details.

    Thank you for the Reply!

    But now comes my next question:
    I have managed to get it to netboot, but my Task Sequence is not available when im netbooting the Mac - i have tried to deploy the ts to both collections individually and together, with no success.

    Hello Robin.
    I did not find a solution to this, unfortunately - i am curently i contact with my reseller, and he believe it is a bug - somewhere between sccm and Parallels.

    I've been in contact with technical support, who cannot help me - they send me directly to their support site, and told me to find the answer there. Unfortunately i was not able to find anything that could help me

    I was in contact with a guy called Patrick Begbie - who send me a guidance to raise a ticket. And i was unable to follow the Kb he refered to. http://kb.parallels.com/en/115528
    At first i was in contact with your reseller in Denmark called Atea, and they told me a technical support from parallels would contact me and help troubleshoot.
