Hello All,
I have been going over MDT related tasks in my lab, and been trying to get more clarity in the following areas:
Language Pack Installs
Role Based Application Deployments
I understand my question is very vague, but any sort of technical write-up and/or experiences would greatly be appreciated to assist me through my quest.
Thank You All!!
Hey Everyone,
Weird situation here, we have an older application that still uses the directory short name to path to the Program Files folder. Unfortunately it seems when you run any sort of dism commit it wipes the short name. Anyone else experienced this? Any way to stop this from happening? :) Thanks!

Hi guys,
Was hoping you could help shed some light on my issue. This is my first time creating a deployment for Win 8.1, normally I do Win 7 with MDT 2012 update 1.
Anyways, I am using a new setup, with MDT 2013, added win 8.1 OS, created a task sequence, and added a set of drivers. I made sure I have the ADK x64 installed correctly. I made sure the appropiate versions of .NET was installed and updated.
I am currently failing at creating media in my deployment share. I don't have a server setup, I simply have a Win 8.1 deploy share that is setup exactly the same way I did the Win 7 deploy share, but yet I cannot create media.
The error I get is "Unable to cast object of type 'System.Management.Automation.Runtime..." as below:
"
Can someone help as to why I get this error, and how to fix it?
Thanks,
James
Hello. My environment is SCCM 2012 SP1 with MDT 2012 Update 1 integrated. We will be moving to R2 and MDT 2013 in the near future. I have a question about the summary page. I have built several custom pages for my deployments. I have noticed that one of the pages display it's selected value on the summary screen but the other two do not. For example, I have a custom page that asked the builder to pick an application suite. When the builder gets to the summary page, the friendly display name for the application suite and their selected value is present. I have another page that asks for the location of the machine. When the builder gets to the summary pages, neither the friendly display name or selected value are present. Both custom pages, use combo boxes with friendly display names configured in the settings of each page.
Everything else works well otherwise but I would like for the builders to see the values they picked on the summary page. Is there something I am missing on my custom pages that is preventing it from appearing in the summary page?
Thank you for the assistance.
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.
Hi gang,
I'm running into an issue when imaging multiple computers with MDT 2012. Let me give some background info.
I have installed Windows 7 64 bit on a laptop in audit mode, made my configurations, sysprepped the machine, and captured a .wim using WDS (captured to an external hard drive). I then imported this .wim into MDT, created a Standard Client Task Sequence to deploy
the image, and successfully deployed it to a machine.
My problem comes up when I initiate this task sequence on multiple computers simultaneously. If I put 6 computers side-by-side and run the task sequence at the same time, only a couple machines will actually succeed. The rest fail with the following:
FAILURE ( 5624 ): 2: Run ImageX: /apply "\\CAAPPWN40\DeploymentShare$\Operating Systems\T731 (Final) Windows 7 64 bit May 2013\T731 (Final) Windows 7 64 bit May 2013.wim"

BDD.log is saying that "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."
If I restart the computer, boot back into PXE, and run the task sequence again, this time on it's own (as opposed to 6 computers at once) it works fine.
Can anyone help?
Dear all,
We deploy windows 7 on Fujitsu Computers and laptops using MDT ( Microsoft Deployment Toolkit).
I have been trying for the past week to deploy windows 7 and Windows 8 on a Fujitsu LIFEBOOK S935 but with no success.
I have downloaded all the driver packages for both windows 7 and 8, integrated it our images but receive this error when

Is this a drive problem or something to do with MDT.
Any suggestions.
Hi!
Since few manipulations in my console, I'm notable to controlmy computerswith the built-inMonitoringmenubutton"DaRT Remote Control". This error message appears: "MMC has detected an error in a snap-in and will unloadt it". After many verifications and tests by importing DART Tools v7, v8 or v801 x86 and x64, and because there's no findable answer on Internet, I ask you guys to help me if it's possible and if you know what to do. I'm actually on a Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 and with a MDT x64.
Here some additionnal informations about the trouble:

I am trying to get a task sequence setup to install the image on disk 1.
Task sequence name: Deploy W7 x64 to D1
Task sequence tab --> Pre Install --> Format & Partition Disk | Values: Disk Number: 1 Disk Type: Standard(MBR) The box is checked for Create extra active partition
Task sequence tab --> Install --> Select the location where you want to apply the operating system: Specific Disk and Partition Disk: 1 Partition: 1
I then click OK and then edited the unattended.xml via the MDT task sequence Deploy W7 x64 to D1 --> OS Info (tab) --> Edit Unattended.xml Button. Then expanded Windows PE --> amd64_Microsoft-Windows-Setup_neutral --> Image Install --> OS Image --> InstallTo | Settings: DiskID value is 1; PartitionID 1
I have rebooted the deployment server, I also rebuilt the deployment share... Watching the deployment on the screen Lightouch says preparing Disk 1 Partition... When the install completes I see a black screen: BootMgr Missing. If reboot with F12 and select to boot from the Hard Drive it boots on the image, Bios says that is disk 0. When Windows loads I see data on Disk 1, the SSD as well as data on Disk 0. This is a Dell M3800 with 2 drives installed.
I created a VM, installed Microsoft Office 2013 and rearmed the installation. I had been deploying without activation issues up until I installed service pack 1 for Office 2013.
I now receive the error: "This copy of Microsoft Office is not activated." with the error code: "0x4004F00D".
The only fix seems to be to run the command: "cscript ospp.vbs /act"
Has anyone else had this issue after updating Office to SP1?
Hello all,
My problem is with WDS/MDT. I had everything working fine, I was able to capture images using a sysprep/capture task sequence, and I was able to deploy captured images or vanilla images. (This is with Server 2012 and Windows 8.1.)
All of a sudden, I'm not able to launch the litetouch.vb script inside an image that I want to capture. Also, when I try booting from pxe to the litetouch image, it just sits at the Microsoft Solutions Accelerator screen.
I was able to capture images and deploy them a couple of times before this started happening. Any thoughts?
I thought that I would start a new thread since I couldn't find a clear answer on the forum. I am trying to find the steps to verify that my Server 2012 R2 WDS server is capable of PXE booting both Legacy and UEFI computers. When I try to PXE boot a Dell E5440 in UEFI mode it will say "Start PXE over IPv4." Something about the NBP file quickly pops up and disappears then the screen flashes and moves onto IPv6 despite that boot option being disabled in the BIOS. The UEFI network stack is enabled. I have both 32 and 64 bit LiteTouch WinPE images available through PXE.
Any idea?
Hey All -
I'm having an issue getting a few variables out of the Locations part of the MDT Database. Based on the Default GW, I have different Wsus servers/deployment roots that I'd like to use. However, it seems like the SQL Query just misses this all together.
I'm not a SQL-minded person, so I'm hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I can see the data in the database, but I'm just wondering why the MDT query is missing it completely?
Here's the ZTIGather.log:
<![LOG[------ Processing the [LSETTINGS] section ------]LOG]!><time="05:54:16.000+000" date="01-20-2013" component="ZTIGather" context="" type="1" thread="" file="ZTIGather">And here's the data in the SQL DB.
Thanks -

Apparently, converting a disk [from MBR] to GPT via diskpart will result in an "Unable to find the SMS Task Sequencer. The deployment will not proceed." error when the machine boots into Windows.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Create a new Standard Client Task Sequence to install Win 7 x64 SP1 Enterprise.
2) Edit your TS to run the following command prior to the 'Format and Partition Disk' step:
3) Create a new text file with the following contents:
4) Save the file as "diskpart.script" in the 'Scripts' directory of the DeploymentShare
5) Image the machine: After the WIM is laid down, DISM runs and the system restarts.
6) OS detects hardware, injects drivers etc. and restarts.
7) Eventually it gets into Windows and fails with: "Unable to find the SMS Task Sequencer. The deployment will not proceed."
Optional: Set your DriverGroup and update the 'Inject Driver' step. (Note: Don't do too much - want this as barebones as possible.)
I can reproduce across several models [albeit all form the same manufacturer], a Hyper-V VM and it doesn't seem to matter if I convert it back to MBR after converting it to GPT.
I'm in Chicago this week attending Ignite, and I can reproduce this in the hands on & instructor led labs, during a Win10 deployment; and they're using MDT 2013 Update 1. o_O
Is this normal and expected behavior?
Does anyone have the bandwidth to test?
Thoughts?
I recently started using MDT to create images and I'm looking for help. The person who handled the imaging recently quit and it was dropped in my lap. Everything was pretty much in place and everything worked fine but we're way past due on updating our image. Previously,when I would boot into the WDS console, I was presented with several OS choices to choose from.
I updated our image and my intention was to add the new image to this list of OS choices. I updated the boot image and now when I boot into the WDS console to install an OS, I do not see those OS choices. The imaging process immediately starts imaging the target PC with an older version of our image. What exactly did I do to make the choices go away? How do I make them return? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Its mean only problem with the Disk?
Image Error?
