Good evening!
I have this problem. When trying to install MS Office 2013 Plus via the MDT 2013 UP2 task after task execution, reports the error below:

Hi,

I have MDT 2012 , i can easily deploy windows 8.1 on Test VM's and other machines , but on Lenovo e560 it gives error.

Hi,

cannot figure out how to keep keyboard layout of captured machine in a deployment.

Sysprep screwing it up probably... How to enforce only one language as in captured machine?

1. In my CS.ini:

SkipLocaleSelection=YES
KeyboardLocale="fr-ca; 0c0c:00001009"
UserLocale=fr-CA
UILanguage=fr-FR

2. in machine before capture:

3. after deployment: 

Default looks like English Keyboard with French layout. Basically it works correctly, but confusing for some people...

Is there a way to keep one language as in before capture?

It seems like I'm unable to create images with the following:

Windows Server 2012 R2

MDT 2013 Update 1 64-bit

ADK 10

I saved the output when I tried to update my deployment share.  FYI, this is a brand new install.

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:

Hi

since updating our test environment from MDT 2013 1 to MDT 2013 2 my task sequences fail to run dos commands in a command line step. e.g. I have a step that activates windows by running the following command:

Command line: slmgr.vbs /ato

start in: c:\windows\system32

The same task sequence still runs ok in our live environment which has not been updated. I have upgraded the deployment shares and created new task sequences but still getting this issue.

The error I get is 

"litetouch deployment failed, return code = -2147467259 0x80004005"

has anyone had similar problems?

We do boot from SAN for our servers. What's I'm wanting to do is build a LUN and sysprep it and power it down (Server 2008 R2). From there I'm going to clone this LUN and attach it to new hardware. Once I attach a cloned LUN to new hardware and power it up it connects back to the MDT server and I can pull down the application list and it will install it. BUT what I want it to do is also prompt for a name change and ask to join it to a domain. I'm not sure where my problem lies. I can't get it to prompt me for a new computer name, it just uses some randomly generated name. In my custom.ini file I have it set to ask for a new computer name. Below is my setting in the custom.ini.

Hi,

I am running SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 CU2 with MDT 2013 Update 2. I am trying to build a Windows 10 Task Sequence and all is good except, applications are not being installed properly, when selected in the UDI wizard.

I verified the following:

All applications have the "Allow this application to be installed...." ticked off.

UDI wizard is configured and validated towards my SCCM server.

All applications have been deployed to a reference user collection, which I link towards in the UDI wizard. (The reference collection is empty, that is ok right?)

All applications have been distributed successfully to all DPs.

I can see the task sequence installing the applications, but when I log in, nothing is present. I also see no errors in the smsts.log.

I made sure the ConfigMgr client is being installed with all need parameters before the TS attempts to install the applications.

The Task Sequence is 99% vanilla with no strange ninjatricks, all out-of-the-box.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I have build a VMware virtual lab succesfully 1 DC 1 SQL and 1 SCCM Server2012r2 SCCM 2012r2 Build 5.0.8239.1302

Joining Domain from a workstation is tricky...... to little info for my taste

Now I am deploying almost a fully updated windows 10 1511 10586 and Visual en Framework so that is oke

but when the computer that i am deploying joins the Domain its fails , but i can on that computer put in a network path to my DC or SCCM server so i am almost their another thing is the desktop is not registrated in AD that are the only 2 things i am struggeling with

When i am putting in MDT the rule  JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP then it goes within a minute or so

i have used a standard Computer OU

please advice

I have been having alot of trouble trying to deploy Win 7 Pro on MDT 2013 Update 1 (6.3.8298.1000) as i cannot do diskpart. The TS does not even reach the stage of copying of the WIM image.

Mt MDT error is:

Litetouch deployment failed, Return Code = -2147467259 0x80004005

I have followed various forum threads using methods like:

- adding empty "format disk" TS before the diskpart TS (MDT error will have an additional error saying no valid partition selected)

- using the DONOTFORMATANDPARTITION=YES

- open a new deployment share and re-add image and TS

- Read about the drive letters jumping around and assigned drive letter "C" in diskpart script

All these methods didnt work. Funny thing is, all the methods threw the same error code.

My diskpart script is as follows: diskpart /s "SCRIPTROOT\diskpart.txt" (start in is empty)

SELECT DISK 0
SELECT PARTITION 2
FORMAT FS=NTFS LABEL="OS" QUICK
ACTIVE
EXIT

Hello

When tryinig to deploy Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10 i'm getting this error and task sequence fails with error 7706.

What happends is that under formating the ssd WinPE is loosing the storage driver and the ssd doesnt show up under dispart - list disk.The TS then fails.

The same thing happends when pushing F8 before you start the TS. When trying to manually format the ssd WinPE is again loosing the storage driver and looses contact with the ssd.

Have tried to regenerate the boot images by removing all drivers and then updating to the latest Surface Pro 3 driverpack and adding them back.

Have made an offline boot media that contains just Windows 10+Surface Pro 3 drivers by selection profile. Now the deployment works and no problem with storage driver.

What can i do to fix this problem?

My version of MDT is 2013 Update 2.

Greetings

We are trying to use both MDT and SCCM to reimage this unit (Optiplex 7040). The imaging process completes normally. When the unit restarts, it goes into a constant Repair boot loop. I have rebooted it in safemode and then notice that on AMDKMPFD.sys, the unit will restart. Both deployments have been configured to use ONLY drivers for the 7040. Anyone had this issue?

I have created a MDT task sequence isolating the drivers for the 7040 and it still has the issue.

I have created a New Folder in my Task Sequence, all the logic needed to enable TPM , install MBAM client and start encryption is there.

I want to add a dialog box when the TS starts where the user can choose whether he wants to run all the steps in that folder.

I would like to be able to use the same logic as Bitlocker in CS.ini, i would put SKIPMBAM=NO and the user would have to select either to install Mbam or not.

I have tried the Wizard Editor but the lack of documentation is very challenging.

My HTML code is:

<H1>Choose to install MBAM Client and Start OS drive Encryption or not</H1><table><tr><td><input type=radio id="NoMbam" name="Mbam" value=No checked language=vbscript onclick=ValidateMbam AccessKey=D></td><td><Label class="Larger"><u class=larger>D</u>on't install Mbam client.</Label></td></tr><tr><td></td><td><div>The operating system will be deployed but no Bitlocker encryption will be performed.</div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2>&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td><input type=radio id="YesMbam" name="Mbam" value=YES language=vbscript onclick=ValidateMbam AccessKey=A></td><td><Label class="Larger">Install <u class=larger>M</u>bam client and start Bitlocker encryption.</Label></td></tr><tr><td></td><td><div>The operating system will be deployed after which Mbam client will be installed and encryption started</div></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2>&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td colspan=2>&nbsp;</td></tr></table>

But i have no clue what to do next.

Do i need an Initialization and validation steps or one simple VBS script would do here?

I have started writing the following script mimeting a post i found online:

Function InitializeMbam
	'Get values from CS.ini
	Mbam.Value = Property("Mbam")


	'Determine the default value
	If UCase(Property("Mbam")) = "YES" then

			YesMbam.checked = true
		Else
			NoMbam.checked = true
		End if
	Else
		NoMbam.checked = true
	End if

	ValidateMbam


End Function

Function ValidateMbam

	Dim IsMbam

	IsMbam = YesMbam.checked

	If not isMbam then

		Mbam.disabled = true


	Else

		Mbam.disabled = false
		ValidateMbam = true

	End if
End Function
	

Have been battling this issue for a week. Since updating to MDT 2013 my task sequences are failing at applying the Image. If I open a command prompt when it fails and try to run the exact command, the message says Access Denied. On the server I see security messages in the event viewer - event ID 4653 Audit Failure An IPsec main mode negotiation failed. Not sure if it the reason, I have Firewall disabled. When dism attempts to apply the image, the events logged on the server are for a successful anonymous logon and logoff then 4 Audit failures for IPsec Main Mode. If I manually map a drive to the share and run the command that fails to apply the image, it works. It seems that credentials are not being supplied for the share to connect, hence the anonymous logon. The lines below are from the dism log with 3 errors. Any help is appreciated.

I'm at an utter loss here,

Does anyone know how to create a customized default profile (to make into a mandatory profile) on Windows 10 using a reference image created by MDT??

I have MDT set up and it's great, but I'm trying to create a mandatory profile that goes with my deployed images as our users by policy do not retain local profiles. We want all users to use a mandatory profile stored in C:\users as we use a policy to erase user profiles when they log out.

I tried to follow the instructions provided by Microsoft for making a customized default profile that I can in turn then make into a mandatory profile. However CopyProfile with Sysprep is incredibly finicky.

Here's what I've got set up for the set up:

-MDT creates reference image using original Windows 10 EDU install media into a Hyper-V VM

-DoCapture is set to false, so that we can install all the software needed and pre-set up and configure all the settings as desired for our staff.

If I stop at this stage, everything works fine. I can use MDT to sysprep and capture the image flawlessly, however this does not give me a customized default profile, which is the issue.

If I try to create a local user account, log in, customize all the settings as desired, then run Sysprep /generalize /oobe /reboot unattend:C:\copyprofile.xml  in which in the unattend the only thing I set is CopyProfile=True in the unattend file, Windows 10 gives me an error message. If I try sysprep /generalize /oobe /reboot by itself, I get the same error message.

After trying over and over again to find the issue I realized the problem is the act of making a profile. For some crazy reason I can sysprep just fine right up until I create a local user account and log into it. The moment the local user account generates sysprep refuses to work at all. Running sysprep in any fashion results in the error message:

"Sysprep was not able to validate your Windows installation. Review the log file at %WINDIR%\System32\Sysprep\Panther\setupact.log for details. After resolving the issue, use Sysprep to validate your installation again."

Again, let me remind you I can run sysprep on the machine without error right up until I create any kind of local user account and log into the account. From that point forward I get the above error message.

Instructions I followed: 
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc748953(v=ws.10).aspx
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg241183(v=ws.10).aspx

If anyone can please help me with making a mandatory profile properly I'd appreciate it.

We are using MDT 2013 for our Server builds. We have static IP's in our Data Center and sometimes it fails to assign static IP within Windows OS, as a result, it stops the deployment. Is there anyway to re-start deployment from where it failed as opposed to start from the beginning? For instance, if it fails because it did not assign the static IP if i could go into NIC properties within Windows and assign IP and continue deployment? 

Thanks,

DT

I want to remove the default Edge and Store icons from the taskbar for new users.

Using CopyProfile=True causes too much damage to Windows 10, so that's out.

I don't want to prevent icons from being pinned, just remove them by default, so local / group policy is out.

I tried using this script:

REG LOAD HKU\TEMP "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\NTUSER.DAT"
REG ADD HKU\TEMP\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce /v Taskbar_Custom /d "regedit /s \"C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Taskbar_Custom.reg\"" /f
REG UNLOAD HKU\TEMP

But it prompts for UAC elevation for non-admins when they log on.

Is there another method?  

I'd prefer not to use Group Policy for this.  I would like this done during build or deployment.

Thanks,

-Matt

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

I have a system fail an OSD task sequence around half way through and the failure screen HTA popup that would normally be salmon colored with a description of what the problem was, popped up white with no readable text.  It was faded and blank as if"not responding" trying to load.

What would cause this issue?

I have just finished updating my Deployment share to 2013 Update 1.  My build Tasks work fine, but I have a task that runs Symantec GDISK32.exe from within WinPE to DOD wipe the hard drive prior to retirement of the computer.

In my custom task sequence I get the error 0x80004005 at or just prior to the command line task. The command is:

cmd /c x:\windows\system32\gdisk32.exe 1 /diskwipe /dodwipe

The Start in box is empty in the task.  I have found references to the use of the Start In box being a bug and causing failures.

I can open the command prompt and run this command manually no problems

This TS worked fine in MDT 2010, and MDT 2012. After I did the upgrade to 2013 U1 I get the generic error.

The only work around I have found is to execute a diskpart command to clean the drive prior to the GDISK command.  I would still like to know what is causing this failure.

My SMSTS log is listed below.
