SCCM 2007 OSD Issue

Every since I installed SCCM 2007 in the network I manage, I wanted to test the Operating System Deployment (OSD) because it’s much more flexible than what Windows Deployment Services provides.

After looking at numerous guides on how to setup OSD in SCCM 2007 (here and here) I would always end up having this error when trying to PXE boot clients

Right after New Years Eve I had to update some packages/advertisements for some new software. That was easy, but the problem was that none of the clients got the advertisements.

I started to troubleshoot the problem and looked at the ConfigMgr Site Status. There I got some really nasty errors one for the MP Control Manager component and another for the MCS Control Manager.

MP Control Manager detected management point is not responding to HTTP requests. The HTTP status code and text is 400, Bad Request.
