Resolve

Examine the code or contact the provider of the custom client

Custom clients must meet the requirements defined in the software development kit (SDK). The Windows Deployment Services server received a logging message from the custom deployment client that it does not understand. For example, the server may be configured to log only errors and warnings, and the custom client may have sent an informational event.

To resolve this issue, examine the code of the custom client to ensure that it meets these requirements, or contact the vendor for further support. To download the Microsoft Windows SDK) for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=104661.
