There seem to be a lot of missing lines of code in the new ZTIUserState.wsf script that determines where the USMT files are located.
Current error:
Checking for USMT Files in D:\_SMSTaskSequence\WDPackage\Tools\x64\amd64
FAILURE ( 9705 ): Unable to find USMT files, cannot capture/restore user state.
SCCM TS, by default places the USMT files under %DeployRoot%\USMT
Is this an intended change, and updated information for the TS that we should be using? or is this a bug that needs to be resolved?
Hello Technet,
I would like help to figure out how to deal with my MDT Deployment share being on a different server than my SQL Share. I am trying to use the MDT Database in MDT 2013 and SQL Server Express 2014. My deployment share is located on a Linux File Server share, and my MDT Server and SQL Express Server are located on the same Windows Server 2012 VM.My Bootstrap.ini therefore looks like this:
[Settings]
Priority=Default
[Default]
SkipBDDWelcome=YES
DeployRoot=\\192.168.1.10\DeploymentShare$
UserID=user
UserPassword=password
my Customsettings looks like this:
[Settings]
Priority=CSettings, CPackages, CApps, CAdmins, CRoles, Locations, LSettings, LPackages, LApps, LAdmins, LRoles, MMSettings, MMPackages, MMApps, MMAdmins, MMRoles, RSettings, RPackages, RApps, RAdmins, TaskSequenceID,Default
[Default]
CaptureOS=YES
...
[CSettings]
SQLServer=SQLServer
Instance=SQLEXPRESS
Database=MDT
Netlib=DBNMPNTW
SQLShare=Logs
Table=ComputerSettings
Parameters=UUID, AssetTag, SerialNumber, MacAddress
ParameterCondition=OR
...
Therefore, the problem is that during winPE Bootup, WinPE connects to the deploymentshare using the provided credentials just fine, and tries to process customsettings. However, I can map a network drive to the SQL Share as seen in the logs by the following errors:
1.ERROR-Unable to map a network drive to \\SQLServer\Logs
2. ZTI Error opening SQL Connection:[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen(Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access is denied.
3.Unable to establish database connection using [CAPPS] properties.
In WinPE, as soon as I hot F8, and use net use \\SQLServer\Logs, the deployment works fine and the properties are read from the database during each section process..
Why is MDT Unable to map the \\SQLServer\Logs , and it requires the manual use of net use? Must I move the deployment share to the same server as my SQL Server Server? Thanks so much.
Hi,
I have just upgraded a MDT 2012 server to MDT 2013 Update 1 (6.3.8298.1000) and am currently having issues with capturing a Windows 10 Professional x64 image.
I installed Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit - Windows 10 (10.0.26624) when i upgraded MDT.
The MDT 2013 install has been upgraded and updated, and new Lite Touch PE images have been created, and i created a new task sequence for the new capture.
From the newly built Windows 10 computer, i am able to connect to the network drive and run the Deployment\Scripts\LiteTouch.vbs script as normal.
The issue arises during the SYSPREP process.
The network driver is removed, meaning the computer is disconnected from the network, and when the process tries to access the network files for the next step in the capture process, it throws an error message stating it cannot find LTICopyScript.WSF. When I click on the OK button, the computer restarts, and if I complete a network boot, the MDT screen appears and the WIM capture starts.
The computer is not on the domain, and I have double checked that anti-virus is not installed.
Any ideas or suggestions on how to resolve this and allow me to use MDT as it was designed would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
PD
I am trying to deploy Windows 10 using MDT 2013 Update 1. At the end of each deployment, I receive an error message stating, "Litetouch deployment failed, Return Code = -2147467259 0x80004005." I am able to deploy Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 images without any error. Any help is appreciated.
Im trying to resolve an issue where on the xp computer the file c:\drive\file.ini is being migrated but renamed to c:\drive\File(1).ini as to not overwrite the existing file.ini. Im using USMT 4 and the code below is in my migdocs.xml file. I tried it also in my migapp.xml file but have not been able to overcome this issue. Everything works perfectly just not renaming.
Ive tried every variation of the pattern elements but nothing seems to resolve this. Anyone seen this before?
<!-- This component migrates file.ini file --><component type="Documents" context="User"><displayName>file.ini migration</displayName><role role="Data"><rules><include filter='MigXmlHelper.IgnoreIrrelevantLinks()'><objectSet><pattern type="File">C:\drive\ [file.ini]</pattern></objectSet></include><exclude filter='MigXmlHelper.IgnoreIrrelevantLinks()'><objectSet><pattern type="File">C:\drive\* [*]</pattern></objectSet></exclude><merge script="MigXmlHelper.SourcePriority()"><objectSet><pattern type="File">c:\Drive\ [file.ini]</pattern></objectSet></merge></rules></role></component>
Just downloaded the latest Windows 10 Enterprise build 10.0.10586.0 from VLMC to import into MDT. When I ran the import OS wizard I noticed it thinks it's the Technical Preview. Has anyone run into this? Maybe it's not ready for prime time yet?

I am running few scripts end with diskpart to set a mirror between two hard drives, but at the end of an error notice always appears he could not access certain files and is set to 70%. Ideal set up a mirror in MDT with diskpart or is there a better way?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Guys, i have some issues, on of this is:
I am in the process of customizing a Windows Server 2003 with MDT 2012. Another problem that I currently happening is the following: I am running over the task of configuring network adapters. In this way I establish the name of the adapters only. For some reason the company requires that the name of the adapters carry accents. When the sequence task executes, puts the names but gets bad because there is an issue of characters not supported. What I did then was to create a script in order to put the names with accents and running smoothly. But when this happens, the driver of one of the adapters makes the connection preventing crash recognition, and must be restarted for the driver and connection work is recognized.
Do you have any idea that it could be what is causing this type of behavior?
Thanks in advance
Hello,
I am trying to use the GPOPack with MDT 2013 Update 1 for Windows 10. The script doesn't have the Windows 10 version in the script ZTIApplyGPOPack.wsf it thus the GPOPack is not getting applied.
MSDN lists Windows 10 version number as 10. But at the bottom it says the version is still 6.3. Please advise.
Thanks

I have been trying to image a Surface Pro 3 using MDT 2013 and have been unable to get past the Format and Partition portion of the deployment. At first I would get an error that it was unable to format or partition the drive and then after that it just reboots after trying for so long. I am able to image any other device with the same task sequence and have no issue just having an issue with the Surface Pro 3. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance.
I am getting the error FAILURE (5210)
ZTI Error - Unhandled error returned by ZTIDISKPART: Object required (424)
Hey guys,
I'm having an issue where 6560b/6570b models take 4+ hours to deploy, hangs for a while on each percentage of installing devices, blue screen a few times. It DOES complete, device manager has all devices installed, deployment summary shows a perfect success. The one thing I did find, is within the setupapi.dev.log (c:\windows\inf) has multiple lines where it's "waiting for previous device install to complete" and the time stamps show multiple tens of minutes being wasted waiting on each line.
Our core network gear was refreshed this year, other models are taking 35~60mins to deploy depending on the system. Network bandwith has been monitored during these issues and isn't a factor.
Testing:
Deployed the image in question to other models - no issue.
I put the base "install.wim" from the enterprise disc in place, and it worked great. This made me wonder if I should have been doing anything different prepping W7 enterprise than w7 Professional. I rebuilt the image from the ground up incase I had some corrupted data or forgot to sysprep it. (Images are built in virtualbox so there's no hardware dependency or driver files saved on the image)
Tried the same image with different task sequences including with a blank (default) answer file - same problems.
Tried stripping out ALL drivers incase the HP driver pack was the problem, same issue, just many missing drivers when deployment finished.
So it seems I've narrowed it down to a combination of this one specific WIM and this one series of HP model - but it doesn't make ANY sense! At least not to my knowledge with WDS / MDT.
Server 2008r2, MDT2013, WDS services installed.
I'll answer any questions or provide data as best I can.
Thank you!!!
I'm banging my head against a wall trying to figure this out. I have a Windows 7 lite touch deployment image that I deploy to multiple models of PCs and laptops. It works fine for all models except one (HP 6005 SFF).
For this model, I PXE boot, manually approve the pending device in WDS, and the process starts. It downloads the correct LiteTouchDeployment wim file, then goes to a black screen with a green spinning bar and just stays there. I've left it alone for hours with no progress. Are there logs anywhere that I can see what's causing this? Where do I start looking?
I took a good working image and syspreped it and below you will see the error message I got. Checking for logs, I only seen one log (smsts.log) and it had one entry that didnt look right:
We do not find an available volume to store the local data path. I have the task sequence to partician the drives so not sure why it doesnt have an "available volume" for it.
Greetings,
A few years back I found a KB (which could of been old) that explained show long it took to build an image, which included testing, and building tasks etc.
I work for a boss who has not understanding of building images, configuration etc. So basically I have to build an image for hardware I don't have, and the hardware was already promised to some folks.
I already have my MDT (yes only MDT no SCCM or WDS) with all my tasks, OS etc
If I was going to build an image from scratch, etc how long would it take? I'm hopfing that there is a KB for explaining the amount of time it would take as I know I saw one once.
I've looked and have not been able to find one.
Thank you
Hello everyone,
I am trying to add the Storage Cmdlets to an existing WInPE Image.
I mounted the boot.wim to C:\mount and run the command
C:\Windows\system32>dism /add-package /image:C:\mount PackagePath:"C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\x86\WinPE_OCs\en-us\WinPE-StorageWMI_en-us.cab"
The Command Output is as follows:
Tool zur Abbildverwaltung für die Bereitstellung Version: 6.1.7600.16385 Fehler: 0xc1510115 Das angegebene Abbild ist ungültig. Heben Sie die Bereitstellung des Abbilds auf, oder bereinigen Sie WIM, und wiederholen Sie dann den Vorgang. Die DISM-Protokolldatei befindet sich unter "C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log".
So it tells me that the image is invalid and that I have to unmount the image, clean the WIM and retry.
Can anybody tell me what could cause this error?
The log is avaiable via OneDrive.
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Tobias
Hi,
Is there any point of having the same driver twice in out-of-box folder?
I have the structure so that I have different models in different folders for example: Lenovo Carbon x1, Lenovo W541. But they have the same drivers. Should I just go in and delete all drivers that have a parentheses with a number? Because I im using the chaos PnID method of injecting drivers. I've tried controlled and failed. Will this save the size of the wim and speed of downloading the image from offices that are far away?
One more question: Since updating to 2012 R2 server. Now the deployment does multi-cast transfer is this the preferred method? Also do I need to create a new Task sequence since the updated 2013 MDT contains new updates?
Best Regards Kjell Valge
Hi All,
I am setting up a Windows 10 build, it is all going nicely, except I have a few system environment variables that I've put in the reference image, that are being removed when that image is installed onto the PC.
I've booted up the reference image without MDT and checked and the environment variables are still in there, so it seems to be something in one of the standard client task sequence that deploys this reference image that is doing it, rather than the sysprep process.
How can I stop these environment variables from being removed?
Thanks
Hi Michael ,
I was wondering what was the outcome to this thread , did you manage to resolve this issue and if so what was the solution ?
Any further help on this would be appreciated
Thanks

I am familiar with the basics of MDT, I have the following error in the smsts.log file. I have read on various support sites that I need to specify the path to the file. What I need assistance with is where / how do I specify this?
(__hrMethodRetVal == ((HRESULT)0L)) || (bFailIfMissing == false), HRESULT=80070002 (e:\nts_sms_fre\SMS\common\inc\ccmxml.h,566)
Thanks
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.
