Hello All
Trying to capture data on a Win7 x64 machine so that I can keep the data and restore once the computer is done re-imaging. This is an offline MDT deployment on the same computer. See the error below:
CNAME loop detected. (Error: 000025EB; Source: Windows)
Using MDT 2012 Update 1
Hi,
I've downloaded Windows 8.1 PoC Hydration Kit from http://connect.microsoft.com/pocjumpstart/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=46580
and am running the "setuplab.ps1" with the appropriate command line switches, but I keep on hitting errors. Such as shown below:
"11 errors and 0 warnings reported" (as shown below)."
I'm now following step 3.1.3 running the MDT task sequence on client 1 the machine does not boot to the network (as it is supposed to be according to the lab guide). The error below was shown during lab provisioning.
This is being carried out an 8 core Intel Xeon Dell PowerEdge with 16GB ram, Hyperv is running on Windows 2012 evaluation with the latest updates. I'm following the instructions to the letter and am getting errors already.
Has anyone come across this?
Thanks

Hi,
I created the image using MDT and created the offline media using the link http://msitpros.com/?p=699.
when I am trying to make a Bootable USB media using the Microsoft Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool , I am getting the below error.
is there any other way of making a Bootable USB media for deploying MDT images ?
Thanks
Making my first attempt to capture user state and keep running into the same error. I'm following the sample in the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit Samples Guide that I downloaded with MDT 2013. Any hints on where to look for the cause of this would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to deploy IE10 thru customsettings.ini off MDT2012?
I know it is possible to add the application deploy to the TS but then it must be added to every TS. When i can deploy IE10 thru the Customsettings then it only have to be done once in the customsettings...
IE10 is made with IEAK10 and is a fully automatically exe file sot that is no problem..

I am trying to create a new unattend.xml file for Windows 8.1
Upgraded to MDT 2013 and ADK 8.1.
MDT is failing to create an XML file. Tried using Windows System Image Manager and failing as well. The log states "1:43 PM : This application requires version 6.3.9600.16384 of the Windows ADK."
When i am looking version of Windows System Image Manager, the version is 6.3.9600.16384.
What am i missing?
Thank you.
Hey can someone help me out here. I have been charged with "versioning" our reference image. The problem is I don't know how to do this from MDT. Ideally what I would like to do is the following:
I have the following info
Task Sequence ID is 7X64813
Date is 6-13-2014
I want to set a Reference Image Version variable "RIV"
So Here is what I want-
Whenever a user goes to his or her workstation and does a set this will appear
RIV=7X64813.14.6.13
Can anyone help me Please?
Thanks
I am having the issue which the task sequence is coming back with the error described above. It is a timing issue because I have a network connection. It takes about 10 seconds for my system to get an IP address. Once it has an IP, I can click retry and
it proceeds with no issues. How can I delay the wizard from trying to connect the instant it is logged back in? Thanks
Hi i've created columns in the dbo.ComputerIdentity on SQL everything works perfect but i've just checked in the MDT 2012 database in the Computers that the columns value no longer correspond to the title exept the ID
asset tag is returning the date
MAC Address is returning windowsversionID
...
In SQL my columns are ID,ComputerName, Date, Domain, WindowsVersionTXT, WindowsVersionID, ClockProcessor...
as i see ID in MDT is column 1 in SQL
Description is column 2 in SQL
AssetTag is column 3 in SQL
UUID is column 4 in SQL
SerialNumber is column 5 in SQL
MACAddress is column 6 in SQL
Is there a way to change the order in MDT?
Thanks
Hi
In a Configuration Manager TS the Restart Computer step has the option: what to run after restart "The boot image assigned to this task sequence"that allows the computer to boot in WinPE after the restart.
The MDT task sequence doesn't have this option, is there a way do the same in MDT and boot in WinPE using the Restart Computer step?
Thanks
I'm testing out a new Windows 7 sp1 custom image that contains IE 11. I've captured the image using MDT 2012 update 1, customized the unattend file, and deployed it to a test computer. All of my customizations in the unattend except for those under Microsoft-Windows-IE-InternetExplorer in the specialize pass are applied. I've validated the unattend using WSIM, and there are no errors, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. The same customizations have been used on previous images successfully, but this is the first one being deployed with IE 11.
Here is what this part of the unattend looks like. Also, I'm not seeing any errors associated with IE in the logs at C:\Windows\Panther.

I am looking to deploy a new application (MS Report Viewer 2012) to a handful of my workstations. I already have images captured for all of these machines, but only 5 out of 45 need this application. I was wondering if there is a way to push the software to these 5 machines with WDS and if so, where can I find the commands?
Thank you!
I have enabled monitoring from MDT deployment share. It works great, but I would like to get more information written to Windows log.
When I start to install machine MDT writes event 41016 to eventviewer
Deployment started for computer %OSDComputerName%
I would need to add some more information to this event. Like make, model, serial number and tasksequenceID.
How can I get those values to log?
We normally use PXE boot and deploy images across the network even though is seems slower since many computers are on a 100Mb connection due to sharing their network port with a 100Mb VOIP phone. We do this for convenience mostly because of the big hassle of updating multiple flash drives whenever the image or task sequence is updated.
We could use multicast if we were doing many simultaneous deployments of the same image, but the majority of the time, we are reimaging one-off machines one or two at a time.
However, I just saw some hardware and software that seems like it could make using offline media more manageable if they were used together.
Instead of copying the Content folder manually one stick at at a time to USB flash media, is there any reason you cannot just mass clone multiple copies of the LiteTouchMedia.iso file to multiple bootable usb drives using ImageUSB http://www.osforensics.com/tools/write-usb-images.html and a USB hub like this?
This software copies the ISO as if burning a DVD. It does not copy the Contents folder files the way you would manually create USB media for MDT.
If this works, then updating as many USB sticks as we can get on a hub wouldn't be much more difficult than just updating one USB stick.
Hi Guys,
Is there a way to create a windows recovery partition using MDT 2012? I have read and came across a couple of old threads but it didn't help at all. Please see below:

In a VM, the Task Sequence is able to complete successfully-- able to reboot and login automatically to complete it. However, physically the task sequence is unable to log in and fails with "incorrect password" error. Does anyone have any idea why this might occur and where to start looking?
Thank you!
Hi,
I am using MDT 2013 on a Server 2012 box. We are currently upgrading from Windows 7 Pro x32 to Windows 7 Ent x64. About 80% of our desktop and laptop fleet have over 100GB HDD's installed with the rest having an 80GB HDD. These will all be a fresh installation.
I am wanting a script to first check the size of the HDD and then do the following;
If larger then 100GB - create 2 partitions, C:\ 100GB in size and D:\ the rest of the space available
If less then 100GB - just create one partition, c:\ all space available
Please Help.
Thanks.
Is this any to hide administrator account and leave it active? When i create a local user and restart the computer it show both admin and local user on the windows logon screen. I just want to show user not admin. However, i do want admin account to be active so when i need it's there for me.
Thanks
