Hello. I have a Lenovo T430s that im deploying and I continuously get the FAILURE 5624 error during deployment with errors. Very similar to this link below. In their case, removal of the DVD drive resolved it but I tried that and had no luck. This same task sequence on a virtual machine though has no problems. I even tried rebuilding the deployment share completely and that did not work either.

Does anyone have any thoughts??

I'm attempting to deploy an image that I have recently captured with MDT.  I was able to capture the image without any problems and after capturing, it booted up properly.  But now when I go to deploy the image using a Standard Task Sequence it errors out.  It does boot into WinPE and gets to the installing operating system portion then spits out the following 8 errors:

(5624):2: Run ImageX: /apply "\\PDC31089\DeploymentShare$\Operating Systems\Win7_BUP_1-31-14\Win7_BUP_1-31-14.wim" 1 C:

Task Sequence Engine failed! Code: enExecutionFail
Task sequence execution failed with error code 80004005
Error Task Sequence Manager failed to execute task sequence. Code 0x80004005
After I receive the error messages if I attempt to restart the computer and allow it to boot up it just comes up with:
"An operating system wasn't found.  Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an operating system"

I have tried the following to resolve this issue:

• Create a new deployment share with only network drivers added and the one .WIM that was captured with MDT as well as one Task sequence.
• Update to MDT 2013
• Update Deployment share and completely regenerate Boot images
• Tried starting deployment from within Windows by mapping the drive and executing litetouch.vbs
• Also tried starting deployment using USB boot disk

I'm running out of ideas and seem to keep getting the same 8 error messages.  It's very aggravating and am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction.

I've included some log files on Skydrive at:  https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=6375A8F9E8089918%21105

I've tied in WSUS to my Deployment task but it dosen't seem to working.

Configured CustomSettings.ini with the below line under the Default section. <FQDN> = hostname.dns_suffic

Added WSUSServer=http://<FQDN>:8530

I enabled the Task Windows Update (Pre-Application Installation)

I can see the PC is searching for the WSUS updates but dosen't seem to install. Is it because the PC is not joined to the domain?

After the OS deploys, I open the cmd prompt and can ping/resolve the WSUS server.

We have made changes to MDT to accept 2 new Dell Latitude systems: E5550 and the Optiplex 7020. Imported the drivers into MDt in the Outofthebox drivers dell. E5550 and the 7020 drivers in Optiplex 7020.

This is how we do the drivers. In the rules.ini we have the setting at the end : 

[Dell Inc.]
DriverGroup001=Windows 7 x86\%Make%\%Model%
DriverSelectionProfile=nothing

Now i have made a new folder like Optiplex 7020 and imported the Dell 7020 drivers in it. When deploying to a 7020 drivers almost all drivers are deployed but when i deploy the image to a Optiplex 790 or a Optiplex 780 the network drivers are missing and also som chipset drivers, yellowsigns in device manager.

When i look in MDT at the outofthe box driver folder the drivers are per machine but when i look in the behind folders in WIndows all the drivers are in the devices organised so all the network card drivers are in the net folder. There are a lot of the same filenames like E1C6332.INF, there are 10 of them....

That is te problem i believe: imported drivers for a newer machine but now MDT is using a wrong driver for the older machines?

I believe that a few files / drivers must be deleted from MDT but which one. Is every file like E1C6332.INF have the same drivers in it for all the machines? When i look up the string for the network card driver: pci/dev_8086&dev_1502&susbsys_047e1028 etc etc then this driver excists in every file E1C6332.INF..

This problem also occurs with a chipset driver and a SM bus controller driver at the older machines. MDT takes the new drivers i think.

How can i best solve this?

Hello,

I am struggling to install WMF 4.0 onto my Windows 7 Deployment could someone help me out?

I have tried so many things from Offline Installers to VBS Scripts and cannot get it to install.

I need this for powershell scripts I would like to run on the machines. 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:

• cmd.exe /c diskpart /s "%SCRIPTROOT%\diskpart.script"

3) Create a new text file with the following contents:

• sel dis 0
• clean
• convert gpt noerr
• exit
  

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 am trying to install Windows 7 SP1 on HP Elitebook 840 G2 laptop and seems facing this issue. The Apply Image step fails with the error Cannot finf the fille specified. below is the smsts.log

Smsts.log
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

any help will be appreciated as this is really going annoying. we are able to build other model machines, the only issue is with this model HP Elitebook 840G2. 

As part of our imaging process we need to the wipe the MBR of all machines that have been encrypted.  If I boot a Win8.1 amd64 ISO, select Repair > Advanced > Command Prompt > Run bootrec.exe /fixmbr, it works fine and corrects the issue we encounter when we don't do this.

I copied what I thought were the necessary files into our amd64 winpe.wim, based on the following sites:

• http://gregwoods.co.uk/2010/04/creating-a-winpe-boot-dvd-for-disk-cloning/
• http://www.audiodude.nl/?p=1217
• https://channel9.msdn.com/forums/TechOff/456721-Windows-PE-with-BOOTRECEXE/
• I even pulled in the MUI's from WinSxS into the WIM
  
  

And although it appears to run successfully (no errors; it claims it executed successfully etc.) it doesn't seem to be doing anything as the problem persists.  

So: What files are required in order for bootrec to execute/function successfully in a WinPE environment?

If you're asking "What's the issue you're encountering?":
We use Symantec Encryption Desktop (aka PGP) and it adds a bootguard to the MBR.
We need to clear this out (wipe the MBR) in order for the machines to boot:

• Creating a diskpart script to sel dis 0 and clean isn't sufficient to wipe the MBR
  
  
• Converting the disk to GPT then back to MBR during a TS (prior to the format & partition step) will remove bootguard, HOWEVER, it causes the TS to fail once it gets into Windows with:
  "Wizard Error: Unable to find the SMS Task Sequencer.  The deployment will not proceed."
  
  I've tried doing this both via a task sequence step that runs a diskpart script (prior to the format & partition step) and by adding 'oUtility.RunCommandWrite oExec, "CONVERT GPT NOERR"' to around line 340 of ZTIDiskPart but the results are the same.
  
  
• Uninstrumenting the drive should correct this, but you cannot uninstrument an encrypted disk and decrypting the drive takes way too long
  
  
• Secure wiping the disk (e.g.: via WipeDisk, DBAN) takes way too long

Hi,

in the recent past we used an image having the right proxy-settings and then after installing this image on a new workstation we ran through the task sequence a script to activate Office and Windows. But we're trying to use a GPO now to set the proxy-settings. But what happens now is quite logical : the activation script cannot activate Office and Windows because the proxy settings aren't set yet.... how can we solve this?

Trying to use a batch file to copy 1 file to a directory (as part of an Application bundle). Yes I know, .bat files don't work well (if not at all) within MDT I've been reading. It should be simple, can I get some help? Here is 

Quiet install command: cmd.exe /c install.bat

Working directory: \\server\folder1\folder2

Contents of bat file

===========

copy "\\server\folder1\folder2\file.key" C:\TestDir

The .bat file works obviously for a manual install, just not via MDT

Hello and greetings from Portugal,

Just a doubt about this Config:
MDT 2013 U1 Preview + ADK RC for Windows 10 + Windows 8.1

Is it possible although using ADK RC for Windows 10 to create images for Windows 8.1?

Best Regards,

Hi Guys

I am currently building out an offline solution to deploy Windows 8.1 Update 1 x64 to a Surface Pro 3.

I am using Windows to Go verified USB stick (32GB) and have partitioned Fat32 and NTFS and this boots and runs through the deployment fine, installs the operating system and at the point where it states installing apps etc...

It gives me this error message:

c:\MININT\tools\x64\00000409\TSRES.DLL

Can someone please advise.

Thanks

I leave the BDD Welcome screen enabled for our server deployments, so deployment techs can leverage adding static IP Addresses prior to connecting to the deployment server.

Is there a way to add a VLAN tag on the NIC, too?

I tried adding PowerShell to WinPE, but there doesn't appear to be any networking components to it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

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. I'm new to MDT/WDS and I'm running into issues. We have our MDT server setup with two different shares. One for production images that will be deployed and one for captured images. When I boot into the WDS console to select my task sequence, I see the task sequences that are in my capture share. I need to be able to choose from the choices listed in my productions share.

I don't know where I went wrong. The person that used to be responsible for images never had this problem. I'm thinking it has something to do with the Boot Image that's located in the Windows Deployment Services but I'm not sure. In the past, when you PXE boot, I'd see my two boot images immediately, this doesn't happen anymore. Instead the WDS console is launched and I'm only able to choose one of my capture images instead of one of my images that are ready for production.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

My workstation wont join domain error 0x89a see logs below, This step happens when it says trying to rejoin domain?

Hi,

I've created a linked deployment share for MDT 2013, at one of our remote offices, but am having issues with it picking up the CustomSettings.ini or Bootstrap.ini.

I know these don't copy across with the sync, but I've amended the blanks ones on the remote share. The problem is, when deploying from the share, it seems to be ignoring the CS & BS.ini files completely, in that, I'm presented with, what I suspect is the BDD Welcome screen, despite adding entries in the CS to ignore:

Does anyone have any ideas which would cause this? I'm guessing it will be user error somewhere along the line :)

I'm using a Make and Model with a database connection to configure my deployments. I've set my display resolution settings at

BitsPerPel=32
VRefresh=60
XResolution=1
YResolution=1

What log files would I look in to make sure the deployment configured these display settings?

Hello

First I want to apologize for my bad English, I have one problem , I try to install one windows 7 X86 whit MDT but i have some conditions. I have some aplications that dont have unattended/silent instal and i need install this aplication unattended , I think create a S.O reference ( instal aplications , updates , language pack) and create a capture task whit mdt then i install this S.O and others aplications that have unattended/silent installation , i do it but the task secuence never finish , it is really important i want help please , thanks for you time

We already have it up and running. When I PXE boot a new laptop before it gets to the first screen where I enter my credentials, I get a the following error message: “Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just collecting some error info, and then we'll restart. (100% complete)

If you'd like to know more you can search online later for this error system thread exception not handled (ndis.sys)”

 All I can find on this is related to BSOD which this really isn’t. I’m thinking maybe because the drivers needed for this new laptop aren’t in the boot.wim since this is a new model in our environment.
