MDT 2013 Update 1 USB media deployment
Hello,
I am having an issue deploying a previously capture image, when using an offline USB memory stick. This is my scenario:
1. Using Windows 10 ADK and MDT 2013 Update 1 I have successfully created a task sequence, which creates, syspreps and captures a Windows 10 Professional image.
2. I am creating another task sequence to deploy the captured image to the same PC.
3. The captured image is deployed successfully to the PC, if deployed over the network, using a minimum USB boot image (from my DeploymentShare\Boot folder)
I am now trying to create an USB image, to deploy the image offline. I have accomplished the following:
a. Created a MEDIA001 image (updated deployment share and updated media content), using a selection profile containing the OS image and the task sequence used for deployment earlier.
b. Created a USB bootable memory stick, which boots successfully and displays the wizard, letting me choose the correct task sequence.
c. The task sequence runs and formats the drive. Task sequence progress is displayed correctly.
d. When it comes to the "Install operating system" step, the following error is displayed: "ZTI ERROR - Unhandled error returned by LTIApply: "D:\Deploy\Tools\X64\DISM.exe" /Apply-Image /ImageFile:"D:\Deploy\Operating Systems\2015-08-31c\2015-08-31c.wim" /Index:1 /ApplyDir:C: is not a valid Win32 application.
(-2147024703 0x800700C1) Litetouch deployment failed, Return Code = -2147467259 0x80004005"
Let me re-iterate, that the same task sequence deploys the image successfully, when run over the network. I have checked, that the dism tool and the wim file are at the specified locations. But I am unable to understand, what goes wrong with dism specifically?
I cannot attach the BDD.log until my account has been verified.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I would also like to hear, whether someone has succussfully deployed their image by using an offline USB medium?

MDT 2013 Update 1: Batch files are searched in C:\Windows\System32, not in application directory
I have multiple applications in MDT that use batch files for installation. They all do not work anymore since we upgraded to MDT 2013 Update 1 (it was still working in the preview version).
I used Procmon and found that, when the installation command is "batchfile.cmd", BDD.EXE opens a process "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c batchfile.cmd", and then that CMD process looks for
- C:\Windows\batchfile.cmd
- C:\Windows\System32\batchfile.cmd
- C:\Windows\System32\wbem\batchfile.cmd
- C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\batchfile.cmd
and then exits with error code 1.
Obviously CMD.EXE is executed in C:\Windows\System32, not in the specified working directory. It has been working in MDT 2012, MDT 2013, and MDT 2013 Update 1 Preview.

MDT 2013 Update 1 not injecting drivers
The problem involves Windows 10, Windows 10 ADK, WinPe, WMI and driver injection.
I have been deploying Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 using the Windows 8.1 ADK and MDT 2013 without any issue for a while. I am using Johan Arwidmark total control scenario to inject the right drivers. I made a folder for each SO and a folder for each make and
model of computer.
If I run the following Powershell line in a Windows 8.1 computer I get the correct data about the manufacturer and model:
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystem
And the query return the following data (example):
Manufacturer : INTEL_
Model : DB85FL__
When ZTIGather.wsf runs in the MDT 2103 and queries for the make and model returns the same correct data is returned and injects the right drivers to the computer.
I get the same result. So far, so good.
Now the problem starts after the upgrade to Windows 2013 Update 1, Windows 10 ADK and Windows 10 SO, I noticed the following issue:
The WMI query about manufacturer and model returns an empty string, it doesn’t matter if a run the Powershell query or the ZTIGather.wsf, and therefore MDT 2013 Update 1 fails to inject the right drivers to the computer. Now I can’t deploy any SO with the correct
drivers.
As far as I know, the problem relates to Windows 10 and the WinPE from Windows 10.
Is this a bug?
Is there a workaround for this problem?
Thanks in advance.

MDT: DISM has skipped driver signature check because the version of running OS and that of target OS do not match on each NIC
Hi,
We have upgraded our MDT environment to MDT 2013 Update 1 and ADK W10. Only, now when recreating the boot image we get this message for each NIC driver:
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.10240.16384
Image Version: 10.0.10240.16384
Found 1 driver package(s) to install.

INFO: DISM has skipped driver signature check because the version of running OS and that of target OS do not match.
Error - An error occurred. The driver package could not be installed.
For more information, check for log files in the <windir>\inf folder of the target image.
Error: 5

The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log
Exit code = 5
DISM /Add-Driver failed, rc = 5.
Injected driver Intel Net e1s6432.inf 12.13.27.0
The strange thing is, that it actually seems that the driver is injected (since MDT WinPE with NIC works just fine). Does anybody has an idea how this message comes and what do about it?
Best,
Steven

MDT 2013 update 1 - Issues connecting to Deployroot
Hello,
I've been having an issue with my new boot image connecting to the deployroot since i upgraded to Update 1 and Windows 10 ADK. When trying to pxe boot this image or when using the litetouch script i get the following error:
Cannot reach deployroot. Possible cause: Network routing error or Network configuration error.
When I've seen this in the past it's been down to a driver issue. If i go back to using my old boot image (via Pxe boot) it works fine and i can connect to the deployment share. Can't seem to create one that works using Windows 10 ADK. I've been through and updated the drivers where needed for the new boot image.
Another thing i've noticed, any changes i make to the out-of-box drivers does not update in the drivers and patches tab for the windows PE settings.
Any help or a point in the right direction would be a great help :).
Many thanks,
Michael.

PXE-E55 - ProxyDHCP service no reply on port 4011
Hi,
I'm trying to setup a self-contained proof of concept environment for Windows 10 deployment using MDT 2013 Update 1. I have one domain controller (2012 R2) that also runs DHCP, DNS, WDS, ADK, and MDT 2013 Update 1. This server is off the network and uses an unmanaged 8-port gigabit switch to connect to clients for OS deployment.
When I attempt to initiate an image deployment session, it always results in PXE-E55: ProxyDHCP service did not reply to request on port 4011.
I have spent a few hours searching but nothing that I have found seems to fix this issue. Some articles say to delete Scope Option 60 - no help. Some say to be sure to setup Scope Options 66 & 67 - no help. I have had these Server Options configured in different combinations just to see if it made any difference - no help. I tried disabling the Windows Firewall - no help. Every suggestion that I encountered I have tried when it seemed applicable. I have checked and rechecked the configuration many times but I still cannot get my laptop booted up and running the OS deployment.
I have also tried these commands:
WDSUTIL /Delete-AutoAddDevices /DeviceType:ApprovedDevices
WDSUTIL /Delete-AutoAddDevices /DeviceType:RejectedDevices
When I use these commands, the error description that I receive says "The Pending Devices policy is not enabled on the server."
I'm a bit at a loss as to where to look next. I ran a similar configuration to run a POC on Windows 8.1 a couple of years ago and didn't have any trouble at all. I can't understand why this doesn't work. It's a very simple configuration in this lab environment but I can't seem to get it working probably.
Could anyone suggest some areas that I should check?
Thanks,
Rob

MDT Offline Media Application Not Installing
I am using MDT 2013. I have made an offline media ISO. The profile was made for the media. The applications do not install. I have made changes to the paths to test. I added a MandatoryApplications001 with a GUID. I get XXXX returned an unexpected return code: 2
The customsettings.ini is default with the exception of the MandatoryApplications001. Bootstrap.ini is default. Does anyone have any ideas?

DomainOUList.xml correct usage
I am using MDT 2012. I have implemented the DomainOUList.xml in my control folder of my deployment share. The first code snippet works fine. When I try the second, I get the following error when selecting the OU: "Invalid OU format (must start with OU=)"
Am I missing something? Can you not make the OU a value to be able to use a cleaner display name?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><DomainOUs><DomainOU>OU=XP Computers,DC=domain,DC=com</DomainOU></DomainOUs>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><DomainOUs><DomainOU value="OU=XP Computers,DC=domain,DC=com">XP Computers</DomainOU></DomainOUs>

Connect MDT 2013 to Azure SQL Database
I would like to use my Azure SQL database for MDT instead of a local SQL install. The main reason is to tie a webapp I already have in Azure into MDT in order to populate the computer pre-stage information for MDT. Is there a way to do this?

DISM Crashing when updating Deployment Share MDT 2013 Update Preview 1
Hi
I'm trying to do a build and capture of Windows 10 using MDT 2013 Update Preview 1. This worked fine on my workstation but since moving to a dedicated 2012 R2 server I am having problems trying to update the Deployment Share and generate my boot images.

Am I correct in saying its failing because the background.bmp file is in use by something else or barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks in advance,

A connection to the deployment share cannot be made. Connection OK. Possible cause: Invalid Credentials.
I'm hoping that someone out there can help me resolve this problem that I am having. I have worked on this for several days now, tring almost anything that I could find in the posts here as well as any other message board.
The problem is this: I am trying to do a PC refresh of an existing XP machine to Windows 7 using the MDT 2010 Update 1 toolkit. I have imported a base OS into the workbench, added applications to the workbench, added out of box drivers, and created a task sequence. I then updated the deployment share.
On the XP machine that I want to "refresh", I have started the LiteTouch.vbs script and it runs through completion in the XP environment. It captures the user state (I opened up Windows explorer and could see files being created under the MiniNT folder of the users profiles) and completes that process and reboots.
Here is where the problem starts. After rebooting and "starting Windows 7", upon getting to the flashy "Microsoft | Solution Accelerators" screen I get a popup error stating "Connection to deployment share (\\servername\DeploymentShare$) cannot be made. Connection OK. Possible cause: Invalid credentials." Then you get three options to Ignore, Abort, Cancel. I believe that the "Ignore" and "Abort" options will put you out into a command window.
So when in that window, I have tried various things to see if I have connectivity as well as the IP settings (just to make sure that I am really communicating on the network). An IPCONFIG/ALL shows that I have indeed pulled a valid IP address from the DHCP server and a ping of the server IP does result in returned traffic. Even a ping by servername returns packets, so it's not a communication problem.
When trying to do a net view servername it returns an "System error 5 occurred Access denied". I don't understand why this is happening since I have the DeploymentShare shared out using the default when the installation created the share "Everyone/Full control" share permissions and the NTFS permissions are "Users, Read, Execute, List, and Special Perm's Create files and folders". The account that I used initially to connect to the share worked just fine as it downloaded all the files to the "refresh" machine without any issues. I even tried creating a local user on the MDT 2010 server and using that account and still no luck.
So if the account that you intially tell MDT 2010 to use to connect to the network shares is ok and working fine, what account is it using to complete this process when it boots into the Windows 7 installation?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is driving me nuts!
Thanks in advance to your suggestions and responses.

Created a Media (DVD) Deployment and it fails with applications
Hi Everyone,
I have a questions regarding the Media (DVD) build option. I created a selection profile with everything except the original Windows 7 image, i only included my custom WIM and the install files i copied from the win 7 dvd to get it to work.
I then compiled the DVD and burned the ISO image. It installs windows 7 without any issues, but then it starts to install applications and it fails after 1 second on the first. It gives the following error:
Failure 5496 :1: LoadControlFile.FindFile: Applications.xml
LiteTouch Deployment failed, return code = -2147467259 0x80004005
From the network it builds just fine and installs the applications. I checked the DVD and the Application.xml is on there and all the apps are too.....
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Offline Media with only WinPE drivers
I want to create a Offline media that doesn't contain any model specific drivers only the Windows wim image but I haven't found out how I can get the installation to inject drivers from the mdt server and not from the USB stick.
We are creating a Windows 10 image and with only three computer drivers the offline image is already 14 GB in size.
When adding all computer modules it will be between 20 to 30 gb.

Is it possible to run utilities from MDT WinPE?
Hi guys,
I wanted to install some utilities such as KillDisk (that performs a low-level format on hard drive) as part of MDT media. Is this at all possible? I tried to add it as an application but get a message that applications cannot be run from WinPE. Are we just limited to OS deployments and DaRT tools as far as utilities we can run from PE environment?

MDT Issue
Hi All,
I'm hoping someone can help with this issue, I will provide a little background before introducing the problem to try and make my situation as clear as possible.
Background
- I have recently upgraded MDT from 2010 to 2013 and integrated Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit for Windows 8.1
- My task sequences are split into two folders (x86 and x64), both of these folders contain a deployment image for our commonly purchased PCs. They have been created using a sysprep and capture which was working swimmingly.
- The first time I imaged two new 64x PCs since the upgrade, MDT went through the installation OK (it took all day which is unusual but it did complete), the speed of installation was going to be my next issue however I was faced with a bigger one.
Problem
We have received two new 64x PCs which I am trying to image, however the deployment wizard errors and cancels at the stage of 'Installing Operating System', with the following error:
Litetouch deployment failed, Return Code = -2147467259 0x80004005
Failed to run the action: Install Operating System.
Incorrect function. (Error: 00000001; Source Windows)
The execution of the group (Install) has failed and the execution has been aborted. An action failed.
Operation aborted (Error: 80004004; Source Windows)
Failed to run the last action: Install Operating System. Execution of task sequence failed.
Incorrect function. (Error: 00000001: Source Windows)
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
This seemed strange as I haven't touched anything since the last successful image. I've been researching the following error and the first thing that I initially tried was to Completely Regenerate the Boot Images when updating the deployment share. Since then I can no longer PXE boot to the 64x WDS, instead it eventually brings up command prompt with X:\windows\system32 that sits on top of the Microsoft Solution Accelorator background, nothing else happens at this point. If I boot to the 32x WDS if does load the deployment wizard where I can actually see the 64 bit task sequence, if however I try to run this I'm prompted with that exact same error above.
The second thing I tried was disabling 'Injecting the drivers' as I thought that the network driver may have been causing a problem and disconnecting me from the deployment share, this however didn't work either.
I'm totally baffled now to be honest and would appreciate anyone helping me out?
Many thanks in advance,

Driver Size in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository
I have noticed that the entire driver repository in MDT gets copied locally to C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository...
Example: If we have over 13GB of drivers all files get copied to the local machine taking up space on the hard drive.
Is it safe to delete the files and anyway to reduce the size of this folder?

Network location in Windows 10?
Anyone figure out how to stop the network location prompt after first boot in Windows 10? I saw the old spot in the unattend and it says that settings deprecated. I think I saw something in ICD for stopping it but haven't gone dinking around in ICD yet. Any other methods? Thanks :)
