You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression

Having issues, hoping you can help.. One confusing note, your documentation makes it seem like all you have to do is run the CM-2002.ps1 and everything is done automatically (after installing AL and copying your files to the folder)..

However, I had to create a switch named Internet for it to get past one error.. Now it's getting the below:

Thanks

Hi, please make sure you are using the latest files available either from my repo. Let me know the outcome after you've done this. Cheers

[kmccb]

Done.. Please see below.. Getting further but still failing. Both VMs were built but CM01 doesnt have ConfigMgr installed.

Hey, I made a change. Please redownload again

Next error.. I tried running it 3 times and it stopped on same spot every time.

I really need to implement some sort of version identifier in the standard output stream.

I'm not 100% convinced you're running the latest CM-2002.ps1. I think you're only updating the script files in the LabSouces\CustomRoles\CM2002 folder. I'm seeing some output in your pastebin which was adjusted in CM-2002.ps1 some time ago. I guess the only way to be sure right now is to generate a hash for each file:

By the way, I notice you're calling CM-2002.ps1 within the CustomRoles directory - this is OK. I figured I would mention that in case you thought it was an issue from looking at the above.

Also, I notice you're not disposing of the lab each time you're trying. When you're retrying like this after experiencing an error, make sure you delete the lab in between attempts using Remove-Lab -Name "CMLab01" (or whatever lab name you set with the -LabName parameter - you can list all your current AutomatedLab labs with Get-Lab -List).

OK, looks better now you've updated the files.

The next hurdle is this error There was a problem downloading your product thrown when attempting to install WinPE.

1. Inside the VM, do you see directory C:\Install\WinPE with items in it? It should be roughly 2.8GB with 17 files.
2. On your host, do you see anything inside E:\LabSources\SoftwarePackages\WinPE? The size and number of files should match,
3. If yes to both 1 and 2, go to the VM CM01 and go to folder C:\Install\WinPE. Double click adkwinpesetup.exe and try to complete installation manually. Hopefully the GUI gives you more information other than just There was a problem downloading your product.

No VMs have C:\Install\WinPE

Under E:\LabSources\SoftwarePackages\WinPE that folder is only 4mb..

I got it.. My PC has two NICS.. The "Internet" nic wasn't even plugged in.. Changed it to use the one that was and it's working. Thanks
