MDT 2013 - Install Application in Task Sequence Stuck

I am running an application installation within my task sequence during my deployment.  One of the applications prompts a user response to click yes to continue. Otherwise the task is stuck at that step. It appears to be stuck during my Java 7U51 installation running this command. It works on several machines but I get this once in a while on a few workstations when trying to deploy. any ideas?

About to run command: \\xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxxxx\Tools\X64\bddrun.exe jre-7u51-windows-i586.exe /s /v"/norestart /AUTOUPDATE=0 JAVAUPDATE=0 JU=O"

Install Operating System task (specific disk and partition) installing to wrong partition

February 20, 2014, 8:45 am
$
0
0

For a Lenovo that has several OEM recovery / system partitions, I want to preserve the non-OS partitions. To do so, I configured the Install Operating System step in the relevant task sequence to target a specific disk (0) and partition (5). The installation step targets the correct disk, but targets partition 6 instead of partition 5. Partition 6 is about 4GB, so the install attempt exhausts available space on that partition and fails. DISKPART lists the desired/correct target partition as "partition 5". The problem shouldn't be a matter of zero-based vs one-based indexing. Both MDT and DISKPART partition indexes begin at 1.

I'll probably try changing the task sequence to target disk 0, partition 4, but that shouldn't be necessary. Can you explain what I'm missing?

Thank you!

MDT 2012 deploy OS from USB external drive failed - need to unplug and plug it once again

We are using MDT 2012 and deploying Windows 7 using media (USB external hard drive). We can successfully deploy Windows 7 32 bit using this method but there is a problem with deploying Windows 7 64bit. This problem appears only on HP EliteBook 840. We can boot into WinPE 64 bit and can start proper task sequence, all image is applied then after restart, before logon screen appears there is an error saying that cannot find litetouch.vbs script. After clicking ok, I can logon to Windows and there is no usb external drive recognized. But when I unplug and plug usb drive once again it is recognized by Windows and can be used. I can see that Windows install some drivers just after plug it again

I checked BIOS looking for some USB power options - there is no such settings. And 32 bit deployment works ok. So this is not a case. Looks for me like a problem with proper usb drivers for 64 bit. I download all drivers from HP website (driver pack and drivers only for USB 3.0). We are using make and model matching in MDT - works ok for all the rest hardware models. Any idea how to troubleshoot it?

1. MDT 2012 installed with WAIK 7 (USMT 4.0)

2.CustomSettings.ini includes those parameters:

UserDataLocation=NETWORK
UDShare=\\mdt\UserData
UDDir=%Computername%

3.after Windows 7 migration I can see in UserData folder the migrated Computer name folder which contain USMT folder and a .mig file

4.unfortunatly, the migration does not process the "Restore User State" Task

note: if I'm looking at the BDD log I can see a line: "No user state to restore, exiting"

PLEASE HELP!

sccm - mdt intergration osd Task Sequence

February 21, 2014, 7:55 am

The custom default user profile settings are being wiped to original state during OSD.

I am capturing my images using MDT 2012, running sysprep with unattend.xml to CopyProfile, and capturing image using imagex.

I then created an MDT Task Sequence through SCCM 2012 and deploy.

After deployment I login as a domain user and all the custom settings in the image aren't there.

If I deploy the image using imagex, on a thumb drive, all the custom settings are there when I login as domain user.

I have also tried creating a task sequence directly from SCCM thinking it was the MDT TS with no luck.

My question is, what in the Task Sequence is wiping my custom default profile settings?

Thanks.

Any reason to upgrade from MDT 2010 to MDT 2012 or 2013 For Windows 7 deployments?

We are only deploying Windows 7 via MDT and don't expect to deploy Windows 8 or Server 2012 any time soon.

Since we don't need compatibility with OSes newer than Windows 7, is there any benefit to updating to newer versions of MDT now instead of waiting until we refresh to the next desktop OS years from now?

Drive Letter Assignment

February 21, 2014, 12:48 pm
$

We have a highly segmented and geographically diverse network which makes a centralized deployment server not feasible.  So, we deploy Litetouch images via USB flash drives.  We create a C drive for the OS, a D drive for the data drive and the E drive is generally the CD/DVD drive.  The deploy drive winds up being F or higher.  This has worked fine until Server 2012 R2/MDT 2013.  Now, during the deployment, the USB drive is taking the drive letter of D which causes apps to be installed onto it instead of the data drive.  I have tried talking people here into moving to a single C drive deployment which would greatly simplify the build and get around this problem but that is not a desired option.  I am not currently using custom WIMs but am not against it if it will solve this problem.  We are deploying onto Dell PE-RX20 series servers. 

VMs, using the same build do not experience the problem.  The deploy drive comes up as F and everything installs as it should.  My thoughts there are that the image is mounted as an ISO and the OS cannot write to it so it treats it differently but the physical servers see it as a hard drive and install apps to it.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Using MDT for first time

I have recently been given the task of creating images for our company (Sys admins no longer want that job) and I'm really looking for good instructions on how to do this. I did take a class last year on Implementing a Desktop Infrastructure but of course the create and capture image part of the class never worked and we skipped it. I have to use MDT 2012 initially to setup some developers laptops but I keep running into issues capturing the image and having it show up in the OS folder under the deployment share. I'm getting little help from the others so any links pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

Hello All,

I currently deploy Win 7 with the use of Lite Touch MDT via USB flash drive. Is there a way to integrate this process with a drive duplicator Omiclone Xi? It currently takes one hour to complete one laptop via a flash drive with the Lite Touch install. We operate in the Public Safety area where time savings is a concern.

Thanks

URGENT. Possible cause: Invalid credentials

Trying to setup a MDT 2012 enviromnent. Plan is to roll out Windows 7 with MDT.

Server: Windows 2012 Standard (guest HyperV) in workgroup
Windows Automated Installation Kit for Windows 7 MDT 2012, Update 1 
WDS configured for PXE boot (Standalone)

Added a deployment share, added operating system files (Windows 7 64 bit pro) and placed this on the WDS

Starting PXE just fine with the boot-wim-file. Reaching WinPE, starting the Wizard automatically, gathering information, and is finally prompted with the "Microsoft Deployment Toolkit".
 With the option to "Run the Deployment Wizard to install a new Operating System" or "Exit to Command Prompt".

When clicking on "Run the Deployment...." I'm faced with an error: "A connection to the deployment share (\\mdtserver\deploymentshare$) could not be made. Connection OK. Possible cause: Invalid credentials"


I can PING the deployment server. I can mount the Deployment share using "net use" and providing the username/password added in the bootstrap.ini.

Bootstrap.ini contains:
 DeployRoot=\IP\deployment$
 UserDomain=
 UserID=IP\deployMDT
 UserPassword=password

I can verify in X:\Deploy\Scripts\Bootstrap.ini that correct credentials are used for our workgroup.


NOTE:
I was using English version of the 2012 OS.
Installed English version of AIK also
OS by MDT distribuid is Spanish

DART in MDT 2013

So I recently upgraded our MDT server from MDT 2012u1 to MDT 2013 (on a Windows Server 2012 R1), during the process I also removed ADK 8 and replaced it with ADK 8.1.

I had DART8 already installed, but I uninstalled it and made sure to reinstall DART 8 SP1 from MDOP 2013.

I also added Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 full sources from vanilla images from MS VLSC to MDT.

I do get the DART option in my boot images but I don't get the Windows Recovery Wizard and the Registry Editor, Locksmith, Comp Mgmt, etc are disabled. as it seems to be using the Windows PE WIM image from ADK and not those from the Windows 8.1 or 2012 source.

Windows PE WIM C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\en-us\winpe.wim will be used.WIM file mounted.

Is there something wrong ? Do I have to wait for the new DART/new MDOP ? (why don't those things get updated at the same time?) or is there a way to make sure it uses the WinRE from Windows 8.1 or 2012 for the boot image ?

Another question: Will DART and the Recovery Wizard on a Windows RE 5.0 boot image work for a Windows 7 installed system ?

MDT 2010: How to change WinPE drivers?

We have boot images that currently work for all of our systems and is used for PXE booting with a WDS server, but I think we have lots of extra drivers in the PE image because the boot image size is quite large and it seems to spend a long time injecting drivers during the PE portion before the OS is installed.  

Which drivers other than than NIC drivers are needed in the boot image?

How can we change the boot image so that it has only the minimum necessary drivers for each computer model?

MDT unattend.xml trumps captured image answer file!

Hi! Been using MDT for awhile and have no issues until I wanted to try something new.

I have built my reference image on a VM, did my customizations and sysprepped the machine. I placed my unattend.xml file in

c:\windows\system32\sysprep

My command line (run as admin): sysprep /generalize /oobe /reboot /unattend:unattend.xml

I see sysprep processes the unattend, cleans up plugins, etc..

I reboot into WinPe and capture my image using ImageX... I then have my install.wim file.

I then open up MDT workbench, import my apps, drivers, and import my OS. I select no sysprep files are needed of course.

I then go to advanced, Media and create a media for my iso file... The iso is created. 

BUT!!! I notice that under deployshare\control\TS number\there is an unattend.xml THAT IS WAY DIFFERENT from my original one that I used for sysprep.

I need to know why MDT generates ANOTHER unattend.xml which is then used to trump the one I used when I sysprepped? Is this by design? I know a way around it which I have been doing for years is to open up my ISO, delete the unattend.xml and copy MY unattend.xml to the control\TS number directory...Save my ISO and im good to go. I'm trying to see why my unattend.xml is being trumped. 

HELP!!

Task doesn't starts when Lite Touch PE is launched.

Hello everybody:

First at all, sorry for my english, I hope that you understand me correctly.

Few months ago I have configured Windows Deployment Services with Microsoft Deployment Toolkit and ADK 8.0 in the main office and it works really good. This was a success so my boss want to set up this role in the other offices.

Now I'm configuring WDS wiht MDT and ADK in other office, replicating the configuration that I made in the main office. All looks OK but when I launch the Lite Touch PE throuhg PXE appears the command prompt instead the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit Screen.

I've try to look in the Event Viewer, to seach logs in Windows PE but I can't find anything related. I'm really lost with this so I hope that someone can help me with this.

The server is:

Windows Server 2008 R2

Windows deployment services role installed

Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2012

Windows Assesment and Deployment Toolkit 8.0

If you need further info, just ask to me.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Kind regards,

Rufino.
