Greetings,

I'm looking for instructions on upgrading MDT 2010 to 2012 Update 1 on SCCM 2007 R3 as well as tasks sequences etc in a live environment.

I have a task sequence which deploy Windows 7 and then a handful of mandatory applications configured via the deployment wizard (all MSIs).

This has worked fine until recently. All of a sudden, all my application installs fail with MSI error 1618: Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation before proceeding with this install.

I have seen this MSI 1618 error before and am aware that it is caused by an install still running when a subsequent installation starts. Previously the behavior i have seen is that one install will cause this error, and all subsequent installs will fail. The fix was to add a reboot after the problem install.

What is puzzling is that I receive this error with the very first application install; so I don't understand what is going on. I don't see how msiexec can already be running. 

If i call the install applications task sequence from inside the OS it works fine, the problem only occurs during the OS deployment.

Here is the first few lines of ZTIApplications.log.

Deploying with MDT, all of a sudden I am getting prompted by the Time zone / clock screen right before the completion screen, and the deployment becomes "dirty" and not completing. I am pretty sure nothing was changed in the TS or unattended.

What to check?

How can I automate replacing multiple computers? In SCCM you create association, what is the equivalent in MDT? I though of creating an HTA where the tech deploying the computer manually enters the USMt directory for this specific user, is this the only way?

TIA

Hi,

I'm setting up a new MDT 2012 Update 1 environment. I created a few sample task sequences and generated boot media.  When I boot to it, start a new deployment, and enter credentials for connecting to the deployment server, the wizard fails out (but there is no on screen indication - I'm left staring at a blank WinPE screen).  It used to be that sometimes after rebooting things would just start to work, but today it seems to be failing 100% of the time

Looking at the logs, apparently CustomSettings.ini can't be found in any standard locations.  My deployment share is on \\server\mdt\Dev.  I see drive Z: mapped to \\server\mdt, and drive Y: mapped to \\server\mdt\Dev.  Both Y:\Control and Y:\Scripts contain my customsettings.ini file.  In my bootstrap.ini file, DepoloyRoot is set to \\server\mdt\Dev.

I'm beginning to suspect the problem is that my deployment share is on a storage filer rather that a share directly off the server, although I have done this in the past and not had so much trouble.

Any advice? Happy to post logfiles or settings.  Here's all the tweaks I've made: Enable friendly names in the DomainOU listings, automatically copy boot images WDS when updated, use WinPE4 with PowerShell 3

Thank you!

Hi Flokes,

strange issue here, we have been using OSD for several months,but am getting error while deploying the OS

attached the SMSTS.log below.

any help would be appreciated.

Dear all

I'm currently trying to put two different deployments on one USB Deployment disk.

My folder structure on the disk:

Deployment7\

DeploymentBootCamp\

Therefore the root directory from the USB Disk only contains the bootmgr and the bcd files. I also updated the bcd correctly no problem so far. Both images are booting into WinPE.

But the deployment sequence can't be found. It ends up with 'X:\Deploy'. I need to specify the Deployment Share.

I copied the content from Deployment7 on the root drive of the USB Disk. It was booting into WinPe and the Deployment Procedure was loading. The problem is somewhere inside the configuration of MDT.

My bootstrap.ini config:

[Settings]
Priority=Default

[Default]

So nothing changed there.

I hope that somebody of your got a similar or the same problem like I have and was able to solve it. On a side note; It's definitively not a problem with the drivers. I quit into command line mode and looked into diskpart. The USB disk is visible there.

Thank you so much for any help.

Best regards

Can anyone help on these errors? Im using MDT2012 on my computer and trying to deploy WIN7 to another using a boot disk. I get almost all the way through and then this appears...

Any help would be great!

Thanks

Hi guys,

Could anyone please let me know how I can create a custom Task Sequence that would only join a PC to the domain? I would like to have the Wizard ask for credentials and chosen OU and simply run the script to join to domain. So far when I create a custom TS and add Recover from Domain step, the deployment wizard does not ask for anything and then simply fails when attempting to join...

If there is more info to provide, please let me know

thanks

I'm trying to run a VBscript (as another user) in my Task Sequence, but it fails. (I'm deploying Windows 7 x64 with the Standard Client Task Sequence-template).

• When running the script manually, outside the MDT environment, it works flawless.
• Also creating a custom Task Sequence with only the 'Run Command Line'-step, running my VBS (as a service account), works great!
• Tried this workaround: Run command line as domain user – Incorrect Function Error. Without success.

I'm using a 'Run Command Line' step, with this as command line;

cscript.exe "%deployroot%\scripts\MyScript.vbs"

The script is copied to the deployment share, in the scripts-folder. I'm sure the syntax is correct, because the Custom Task Sequence does work.

Error message after deployment:

Litetouch deployment failed, Return Code = -2147467259 0x80004005 Failed to run the action: Add domain user based on the current computername. Incorrect function. (Error: 00000001; Source: Windows) The execution of the group (State Restore) has failed

Because the scripts works manually and in a custom Task Sequence, I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Can someone help me out please?

Hi,

I'm having a weird problem when running throught he UDI wizard on some of my secondary sites.

Once I get to the "Domain Join Credentials" it will return a "Unable to access the domain"

If I wait 10-15 minutes it will work.

I do use FQDN all the way. It happens on a few of my secondary sites.

Running SCCM 2012 and MDT 2012 Update 1.

Thanks.

Hello,

using MDT 2010. I know how to access MDT properties from within my scripts... but it just occurred to me that for some scenarios it would be very nice to be able to pass in an MDT property to a script right on the 'command line' you enter for a 'run command line' task sequence step. After all, you can set that task sequence step step to conditionally run based on the value of an MDT property, why not expand MDT properties right on that command line?

I'm pretty sure I looked into this when using MDT 2008 and it was not possible, but maybe this has changed for MDT 2010? If not, I think it would be a great feature addition to include in the next update!

Background

• I just upgraded from MDT 2010 update 1 to 2012 update 1.
• I am deploying Windows 7 Professional w/SP1 x64 Edition.
• The WinPE x64 .ISO created by MDT 2012 update 1 is used to launch the task sequence.
• I do not join the domain using MDT.  The computer is placed in a workgroup and manually added to the domain later.

Problem

When I execute a [previously working] task sequence, the "Set Network Location" dialog box appears after first logon and defaults to the public network.  I verified that the unattend.xml contains the proper <NetworkLocation>Work</NetworkLocation> section.

It acts similar to MSKB #2028749, but that hotfix is included in SP1.

This behavoir is new and didn't occur in MDT 2010u1.

Attempted Resolutions

• I imported the above hotfix (just in case), and it had no effect - as expected.
• I know there are important changes to the task sequence templates in MDT 2012, so I created a brand new task sequence to install Windows 7.
• The new task sequence did not fix the problem, and I poured over the settings to be sure they were right.

My customsettings.ini:

[Settings]
Priority=Default

[Default]
OSInstall=Y
SkipAppsOnUpgrade=YES
SkipApplications=YES
SkipAdminPassword=YES
SkipProductKey=YES

SkipUserData=YES
UserDataLocation=NONE

SkipDomainMembership=YES
JoinWorkgroup = STDSYS-DEPLOY

SkipCapture=YES
ComputerBackupLocation=NONE

SkipLocaleSelection=YES
UserLocale=en-US
KeyboardLocale=en-US
UILanguage=en-US

SkipTimeZone=YES
TimeZone=035
TimeZoneName=Eastern Standard Time

Please help!

Hello

When generating and updating the media and iso, the "Content" folder is slightly different the MEDIA ISO. Installing an image from USB works fine but from burned DVD missing drivers on the same laptop model

Please advise

Thanks,
