Bitlocker error during MDT deployment

$
0
0

Hi all!

I'm trying to deploy Windows 10 Enterprise using MDT 2013 SP1. During the deployment I'm trying to have Bitlocker auto-configured and enabled. However I keep getting error: FAILURE ( 6767 ): -2144272340  0x8031002C: Enable BDE Protectors.

I've searched the interwebs but every post I see is about people who are using Configuration Manager. Since I'm not, the solutions provided there don't apply to me.

My bitlocker settings:

BDEInstallSuppress=NO
BDEDriveLetter=Q:
BDEDriveSize=2000
BDEInstall=TPMKey
BDERecoveryKey=AD
BDEKeyLocation=C:\windows\BDEKey
BDEBitLockerWaitForEncryption=TRUE

I've configured AD for Bitlocker backup, and after the deployment finishes I can manually enable bitlocker and it will save the key to AD. However I'd very much like this to be automatic since I'm trying to make it ZTI as much as possible.

I have followed the steps in this article: Configuring Bitlocker for MDT except for the part where you use a script to check if the TPM chip is already enabled. The reason I'm not doing this (yet) is because for now I only have to configure Surface 3 (not pro) tablets and I know that the chip is enabled. So from the task sequence screenshot in the article, I have only got the Enable Bitlocker step.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Kind regards,

Elke


MDT 2013 U1 or U2 Settings per Task Sequence

$

Before I upgraded to MDT 2013 U1 from Vanilla MDT 2013, I had successfully modified the "DeployWiz_SelectTS.vbs" which essentially reran the ZTIGather.wsf.

After upgrading to MDT 2013 U1 and then U2, this has now broken.

Has anyone figured out how to have customsettings based off of Task Sequences?

Here is the reference that I used to make it work in the past.

Removing Windows 10 built in Apps

Hello,

I created and captured a Windows 10 Reference Build. During my build process I removed some of the Windows 10 built in Apps using a PS command. I made some changes to the profile. When I bring down the image I am seeing the profile changes are there but the built in Apps are back! I was unable to find a place in the unattended file to remove these apps. So does that mean I need to remove these apps each time I build new computer or do I need to do it a different way?<o:p></o:p>

Thanks

Let me know if you folks know how to fix this.  Otherwise, I'll have to use MDT2013 with ADK8 instead.

I've tried the following suggestions from these blogs:

I've added trace32 to my winpe (in C:\Windows\system32) image so that I can open bdd.log when a deployment fails, but when I try to open trace32 I get a message saying "The subsystem needed to support the image type is not present."\

Am I doing something wrong?  How can I view bdd.log while in winpe?

MDT Wizard - Skip unwanted deployment pages

Guys, I'm trying to skip unwanted deployment pages in my MDT Wizard. It seems the very first screen works, but once I click NEXT, the entire list of pages are showing and it makes me walk through each one.

I minimized my Bootstrap.ini and CustomSettings.ini

I only want to show the following pages;

  1. Task Sequence Page
  2. Computer Details Page
  3. Local and Time Page
  4. Ready  Page

But for some reason after I click the Task Sequence, I receive this list. Then I have to go to each page without the ability to skip.

  1. Welcome Page
  2. Network Credentials Page
  3. Task Sequence Page
  4. Computer Details Page
  5. Mover  data and settings Page
  6. User Data (Restore) Page
  7. Local and Time Page
  8. Capture image Page
  9. Ready  Page

Silent installation of Visio 2013 using MDT

Hello,

I am to create a silent installation of visio 2013.

This is working ok using setup.exe /config vispror.ww\config.xml.

Only the activation is not working.

Normally this is setup using the Microsoft Customization Tool, but this in not included in the installation-media of Visio 2013.

When adding the admin folder from Office2013, I will get the installation-options for Office2013 instead of Visio 2013.

Are there any admin-templates available for Visio2013 or do I need another way to activate Office 2013?

Thx


Windows 10 upgrade skipping the Post-Processing group

$

0

Upgrading Windows 7 Enterprise x64 to Windows 10 Enterprise x64. The upgrade task sequence appears to work fine with no errors, but the Post-Processing group does not run. Looking at the smsts.log file, it is because "Registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\Win10UpgradeStatusCode does not exist".

What puts that registry value there, and why would it NOT put it there? The upgrade itself seemed to go well.

Deploying 7 SP1 x64 to NVMe drives resulting in BSOD 0x7B

$
0

Ok, so a little bit about my setup. I'm using MDT 2013 U1. I have a wim of Windows 7 Pro 64 SP1.

I am attempting to deploy to a Dell Precision 7710. This device uses 2 M.2 PCIe SSD's in RAID1 (using Intel RST).

I have added Hotfix 3366972 by injecting it into the wim using dism (using this https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2990941 method). I did NOT inject the hotfix into the boot wim, because it is WinPE 10, so should be supported natively (my Windows 10 installation disk can install to the drives without issue). I have also injected the Intel RST f6flpy-x86 (downloaded from https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25165/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-Intel-RST-RAID-Driver ) drivers into the boot wim, and have the f6flpy-x64 drivers injected into the installation.

I can boot into the MDT boot wim just fine. I select my task sequence, it deploys, and reboots. Upon booting Windows, the PC has a BSOD. When attempting to boot into safe mode, it halts at DISK.SYS before BSOD'ing. Obviously it doesn't like that.

I have attempted booting into an installation disk and removing DISK.SYS from C:\Windows\Drivers or C:\Windows\System32\Drivers, I cannot remember which at the moment. I didn't expect that to work because it was specifically disk.sys, and it didn't, but I figured I'd tried because I've had success removing other faulty drivers before. I have also tried reinstalling the RST drivers by booting into an installation disk and using dism to inject the drivers directly, with no effect. As a last ditch effort, I even tried running a chkdsk /f, which didn't work.

I have never had to deploy to NVMe disks before, and I am truly stumped. I know my org's switching to Windows 10 come March / April, but we haven't converted yet, and our images aren't "Golden" yet, so my manager isn't allowing us to just image this one with 10 early.

Anybody with any ideas?

Problem updating images

$

I use VM Workstation to create images for our MDT environment and I usually update them monthly when the Windows updates come out but for scheduling issues I skipped December.

I updated my images last week and when I applied them to my development computer I got the following error.

Event 41014 sent: Litetouch deployment failed, Return Code = -2147467259  0x80004005LiteTouch01/08/2016 9:31:52 AM0 (0x0000)

I applied the image to a different PC and got the same error message.  I rebuilt the image from scratch and got the same error again.  My last attempt was to build an image with just the OS and no Windows updates and when I apply the image I get the same error.

Fortunately, the old WIMs from November are still working but I'm at a loss as to why I'm getting this error message.  I found one article that said there might be a dirty sequence on the computer so I used Diskpart to clean and format the drive but I still am getting the error message.

I haven't made any changes to the Task Sequences or the Deployment properties.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Let me know what log files are needed for viewing.

Bug in UDI Wizard Designer Build Your Own Page

$

Environment: MDT 2013 Update 2 running from Windows 10 1511

  • In a build your own page: After editing a text box with default data and adding a validator, the project refuses to save with the following error: The element 'Field' has invalid child element 'Default'. List of possible elements expected: 'Validator'. This behavior doesn't seem to happen on every text box, but when it does the only workaround I have found is to manually edit the XML file to set validators.

I have a second very minor complaint about the UI:

  • When building a custom page and customizing a label's width, the text input field deselects itself after typing two characters in. Example: Set Label1 Width to "470" but after typing 46 the setting is committed. Editing the field immediately after allows the full "470" to be entered.

MDT 2012 - Settings Per Task Sequence

I recently converted to MDT 2012 after running MDT 2010 for awhile (which has been great). Johan had written up an article (http://www.deployvista.com/Home/tabid/36/EntryID/139/language/en-US/Default.aspx) that allows you to do settings per task sequence without the use of a database which was amazing for our environment. After switching to 2012 this no longer works. Is there something I'm missing or what do I need to change to make this work?

Thanks!

MDT litetouch deployments are failing at the UI++ step after upgrading to MDT 2013U2 + ADK10v1511

I recently upgraded my MDT DeploymentShare to MDT 2013U2 + ADK10v1511 and I am writing in to get some help / advise on why my litetouch deployments are failing at the UI++ step with return code 2147467259? The system cannot find the file specified (Error 00000002)

I have run the update DeploymentShare and regenerated the MDT Boot Images with MDAC + .NET + Powershell. I have even created all the new Task Sequences after the upgrade. I am only using x64 Boot Images from MDT.

The command lines that I have tried so far and failed with no avail:

The command line I am using is: "%scriptroot%\UI\UI++64.exe" with start in as %scriptroot%\UI\

I have even tried "%scriptroot%\UI\UI++64.exe" without any start in

I have even tried "%deployroot%\Scripts\UI\UI++64.exe" with start in as "%deployroot%\Scripts\UI\

I have also tried the full network UNC path to the exe and that too has failed.

All of them have failed with the screenshot / logs as attached.


The same below command line step runs fine with MDT 2013 and ADK8.
The command line I am using is: "%scriptroot%\UI\UI++64.exe" with start in as %scriptroot%\UI\


Please advise. Thanks.

Hey Guys,

I just spend way too much time troubleshooting this issue so I thought I would share my solution to help the next guy.

I have been having issues with getting the SkipWimSplit setting working (toggling on and off as needed), but that is an issue for another day. While making offline media I stopped the process while it was splitting the image, because I did not want it split. I didn't relies at the time that would destroy my WIM file. So I simply copied a backup of the wim into the original folder. This seemed to work at the time, but when I started to add other WIMs to my offline media I starting getting the "Could not find a part of the path" error.

I had just upgraded to MDT 2103 U2, so stupidly assuming it was because of that, nope.To resolve this issue I simply had to delete the OS from MDT and reimport.

Issues with computer naming and joining domain when trying to add to proper OU

$
0

First issue:

So I created a new DeployWiz pane and called it DeployWiz_ComputernameOnly  vbs and xml so that I could eliminate the Join domain and OU sections and only have the computer name as an option. I also wanted to make computer names to nothing above or below 7 characters. I had followed this tutorial: https://vimeo.com/121684296 (sorry if external links are not allowed) which came pretty close to fitting my needs.

The issue I am having with this is that now my images are creating random computer names. Each computer name starts off with comskip-*7 random characters*

Here is the VBS scrip I am running:

' // ***************************************************************************
' // 
' // Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
' // 
' // Microsoft Deployment Toolkit Solution Accelerator
' //
' // File:      DeployWiz_Initialization.vbs
' // 
' // Version:   6.3.8298.1000
' // 
' // Purpose:   Main Client Deployment Wizard Initialization routines
' // 
' // ***************************************************************************


Option Explicit


Function InitializeComputerNameOnly


If UCase(oEnvironment.Item("SkipComputerNameOnly")) = "YES" then
ComputerNameOnly.disabled = true
End if

End Function


Function ValidateComputerNameOnly

' Check Warnings
ParseAllWarningLabels


If Len(ComputerNameOnly.value) > 7 then
InvalidChar.style.display = "none"
TooLong.style.display = "inline"
ValidateComputerNameOnly = false
ButtonNext.disabled = true
ElseIf IsValidComputerName ( ComputerNameOnly.Value ) then       (I also tried) Len(ComputerNameOnly.value) < 8 then
ValidateComputerNameOnly = TRUE
InvalidChar.style.display = "none"
TooLong.style.display = "none"
Else
InvalidChar.style.display = "inline"
TooLong.style.display = "none"
ValidateComputerNameOnly = false
ButtonNext.disabled = true
End if

End function

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Second issue:

I have my custom ini with rules to join the domain and other things which works fine except when I add the line to join the correct OU. Here is a copy of my ini:

Default]
OSInstall=YES
SkipCapture=YES
SkipAdminPassword=YES
SkipProductKey=YES
SkipComputerBackup=YES
SkipBitLocker=YES
JoinDomain=DomainName.com
DomainAdmin=DomainJoinAccount
DomainAdminDomain=DomainName.com
DomainAdminPassword=Password
TimeZoneName=Eastern Standard Time
MachineObjectOU=Windows7
EventService=http://MyServer'sName:980


Third issue:

I am also installing chrome browser and 7zip using the Install app task sequence and both apps install just fine with the exception that after the deployment is done I receive two warnings with the message:

Unable to set working directory (-2147024832)

Not sure why these warnings are being posted when apps.

Any help or input will be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance!
