Comming soon - Cloud Rebuild

 

• Cloud rebuild is now introduced to Windows Insiders.
• Cloud rebuild is a new recovery option that restores a Windows 11 PC to a clean, known-good state by performing a full OS reinstall, even when Windows won’t boot. Unlike Reset this PC, Cloud rebuild downloads both the target Windows image and the device’s drivers from Windows Update, so the device comes back fully functional without USB media, without a custom image, and without depending on the health of the currently installed OS.

The new Cloud rebuild option in Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE), enabling a full Windows reinstall using files downloaded from Windows Update.

Reinstalling Management Point fails with "Not enough disk space" on SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 CU1

I have a SCCM server (level: 2012 R2 SP1 CU1) with SMS Provider- and Management Point role installed.
After upgrading WAIK to version 10, a reinstallation of all roles were initiated.
All roles installed fine - except for the Management Point.


Looking into MPSetup.log I found:



PreReq fails !!! ok, we look into CCMSetup.log:

Ok, the client installs ok, but the update fails with.... Not enough disk space - The installation requires at least 90MB free disk space ...
I have plenty more disk space than required....


Ok, I removed the MP role - and added it again.... same error...


After several hours of troubleshooting it turned out that there was a mismatch between the MP and the client version, that the MP tried to install (thanks to Microsoft Support and Kent Agerlund @ Coretech).


To solve this issue, I had to follow these steps:
1 remove the MP role from the server
2 uninstall ccm agent (ccmsetup /uninstall)
3 restart the server (just to be sure...)
4 install the MP role (this also install a sccm agent)
5 upgrade the sccm agent (ccmsetup /upgrade)


YES... now my MP was up running again.
(but the error message was SO far from error as it could be)
