More to follow.. Leave feedback on your successes


Resolution: In my case I was using PXE Everywhere v2.2 which will support laptops with UEFI as well as Legacy boot options. However, tablets like the Venue 11 Pro are native UEFI and this is currently not supported! I big surprise considering the demands on Enterprise IT to deploy Windows 8.1 as just another OS (JAOS we'll see if it catches on).  1e reported that in v2.3 due later this year (todays date: 22/09/2014) UEFI native will be fully supported.

As a result it was now a known GUID; as we were only deploying Task Sequences to the Unknown collection none were made available. 'x64 Unknown Computer (x64 Unknown Computer)' record 'x86 Unknown Computer (x86 Unknown Computer)' record To get the GUID of your unknown systems open SQL management studio and run the following command: --Sql Command to list the name and GUID for UnknownSystems record data select ItemKey, Name0,SMS_Unique_Identifier0 from UnknownSystem_DISC Using the returned GUID (SMS_Unique_Identifier0) we can find the hostname that has been assigned the 'x64 Unknown Computer (x64 Unknown Computer)' GUID by running the query below. --x64 Unknown Computers select Name0,SMS_Unique_Identifier0,Decommissioned0 from Sys...
