OSD Task Sequence - unknown host (gethostbyname failed); Failed to send status message (80072ee7)
Hi All
I am encountering below issue randomly, kindly advice how should i tackle this. Thank you.
Issue: unknown host (gethostbyname failed); Failed to send status message (80072ee7)
Observation:
> Machine some time dont show IP [verified doing F8]
> Machine still got IP assigned but unable to ping DP and MP, with or without FQDN. [verified doing F8]
This issue happens randomly, after PXE boot and TS selection it can encounter the above at any stage. Its not tied to any specic computer model or at any specific task in the task sequence. Latest driver pack for all the models are already included in TS.
Workaround: For both above scenarios, unplug the LAN cable and plug in. Do IPConfig /Flushdns and IPConfig /Renew; then the TS proceeds further.

- Are the devices connected directly to the lan port on the wall\switch or are you using ethernet adapters\docking stations?
- Old models are connected directly to the switch as the mother board has the built in adapter, where as for new models USB-C network adapter is used to connect to the switch. Network drivers for these USB network adapter are already pumped in to the boot wim.
