Hi All,

I am facing the Issue "Task Sequence: xxxxxxx has failed with error code (0x800700a1) in the task sequence step ''Configure Secure Boot". However my machine will pxe boot successfully and appeared the task sequence wizard.

We have enabled HTTPS in our Distribution Settings and further that is an additional DP in our environment and IIS settings are binding with HTTPS too. then I have checked the Network Access account settings and it was set to use computer account but I have added few user accounts which are already existing in our SCCM environment. however I am not sure whether these accounts should have access to our task sequence or not since I am not the person who created this TS.

appreciate the help to sort this out.

    Hi,
    What is the state of the local disk? it looks like it cannot save the environment state in the steps before as well. And it looks to be the same here it cannot create the local path. is the disc in a state where it can save data to it? formatted?
    The error translates to "The specified path is invalid."

    That is where I would start looking.
    Regards,
    Jörgen

    For those cases i finnaly fix mine:

    I would suggest you to verify the type of the hard disk and select the match option in bios.

    Some disk are not hybrid meaning cant support RAID and AHCI/NVMe at the same time. My last case the hard disk support only AHCI/NVMe not RAID.

    I just made the change in bios and set it to AHCI/NVMe then good to go.

    Hopefully this will help :)
