With MDT & Windows 10 we have been replacing the img0.jpg file in C:\windows\web\wallpaper\windows with our custom image during the WinPE phase so we don’t have to mess with permissions. This has been working fine until we started working with the Surface Pro 3. The higher resolution screens for some reason are using the default Windows background instead of our custom one, not sure where it’s even coming from. The weird thing is if we change the resolution to 1920x1200 then it shows our image but if I change the resolution to the default 2160X1440 then it shows the default windows image. Any ideas?

WMI query outside or Root\cimv2
Anyone know if MDT is limited to making queries only within the CIMv2 namespace?
I am trying to query root\Intel_ME:
WMI Namespace: root\Intel_ME
Select * FROM ME_System WHERE FWVERSION < x
But MDT throws the error:
Error in opending WMI namespace root\Intel_ME. Invalid Namespace (Error 0x(8004100e)

CopyProfile not working for me MDT 2013 deploying Windows 10
Hi Folks,
I'm a relative newbie to MDT technology, having used ghost for my whole career. I've been using a couple of technet articles on , first, creating a windows 10 reference image using MDT 2013, and then , second, deploying that image to a computer. I'm happy with the results so far except I'm confused about copyprofile . I can't get it to work and the articles/tutorials I'm using don't cover this.
These are my current steps:
1. Create a deployment share called MDTBuildlab to create a reference image. As part of this process, I accessed the unattend.xml through Task Sequence -> OS Info tab and followed the steps to enable CopyProfile. As i added a suspend action in the Task Sequence, I customized the Administrator profile to my liking and resumed the successful creation of the reference image.
2. I created a 2nd deployment share called MDTProduction and imported the image file I created earlier. I didn't do anything in Task Sequences except enable Microsoft updates and I disabled "Restore user States and "Restore user groups." However, i did modify the boot.ini and customsettings.ini files to add the computer to a domain. This step works fine.
When I deployed the image to a computer and logged on with a domain user account, none of the desktop shortcuts and other default user profile modifications seem to have took. I'm wondering if I should have edited the unattend.xml file in the Production share as opposed to the reference build image creation?
Any suggestions?
Many thanks Adrian

MDT 2013U2 produces corrupt boot image
Hello,
We have a customer who is a year away from upgrading their server environment and would like a Windows 10 SOE. Their main server is an SBS 2008 virtual machine.
We created a basic deployment share based on Windows 10 / MDT 2013 U2 but WinPE simply hangs forever on the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit background screen. There is some CPU usage at the first minute but then nothing.
Looking at the WinPE instance's BDD.log it ends with the following lines:

Problems imaging a HP ProBook 650 G2
Hi,
We use WDS&MDT to deploy our Windows 7 images on different brands and models of machines. Recently we bought some HP ProBook 650 G2 laptops with which we have a lot of problems reimaging them. This is a summary of the problems when we try to deploy a Win 7 Pro x64bit image:
a. if I define the task sequence variable DriverGroup001 and create a folder for the Make and Model of the model, after the wim file is deployed, when Windows try to start for the first time I have BSOD. This happens even the Model folder doesn't have any drivers loaded.
b. the same thing happens if I don't define the TS variable and I just set the TS too look for all matching drivers
c. if I define the TS variable, but I don't create the folder tree (Make&Model) then the image deploys and Windows starts with no drivers loaded indeed (and TS fails as expected because of lack of network connectivity to continue - no ethernet drivers).
d. I was only able to deploy a very old image (with a version of Windows last updated in 2014), but on the moment I updated it fails too
e. if I deploy the image using "c" option and after I load the drivers manually, Windows works without problems. Also Windows works well if I deploy the old image and after the imaging process I update Windows manually.
f. I checked the BDD.log but I couldn't find anything useful.
g. I incline to think there is a problem somewhere between windows updates, model drivers and how MDT works (injecting the drivers), but I couldn't find anything helpful until now.
Any suggestions are much appreciated! Thank you!

MDT - USMT 10 - Migration 8.1 to 10 - Wallpaper
Hello,
In order to plan a migration from W8.1 to W10 as smooth as possible we want to migrate the Wallpaper of our users.
Using manual & scripted USMT is it working properly.
Using the integrated USMT within the task sequence of MDT in both Online & Offline, this is not transfered.
(Same mig*.xml files, same scanstate/loadstate version...)
Would anyone have a clue why ?
Thank you in advance.

Howdy Folks: Can we upgrade just the ADK to 8.1 and will it then work beautifully with MDT 2012 update 1
We have MDT 2012 Update 1 using ADK 8.0 currently in place with years (tons) of task sequences and applications built into it. Can we upgrade just the ADK to 8.1 and expect it to work with MDT 2012? Our goal is to be able to generate WinPE version 5 boot images and the 8.0 ADK will only do WinPE 4 boot images. Why? Because Lenovo no longer explicitly supports winPE 4, Lenovo now explicitly supports drivers for 3.1, 5.0 and 10 (but not 4). Consequently our new boot images are failing on the latest lenovo hardware. So, can we upgrade just the ADK or do we also have to upgrade MDT as well?
Current: MDT 2012 update 1 with ADK 8.0
Desired: MDT 2012 update 1 with ADK 8.1 (with this work?)
many thanks,

MDT 2013 U2 - Application Discovery (OSD Wizard) Warning
Hi All,
Since upgrading to MDT2013u2 for my ConfigMgr CB1602 server and deploying a test Windows 10 MDT TS (with the updated MDT package) the Application Discovery preflight registers an error (below), and the post flight Applications Installed tab for OSD Results is empty. Tried running OSDRESULTS.EXE after an OSD; also blank despite Apps being matched according to the logs (again, below)
The earlier MDT package (2013) used for my W7 works perfectly and I have a pretty good knowledge of creating and mapping applications in UDI Designer etc, and haven't tampered with the TS relating to UDI.
This is a new computer scenario, and I select a few applications from the Wizard.
Thanks

Prompt for administrator password only in specific task sequences?
Our customsettings.ini has the default local admin password we use for all of our OSD task sequences.
However, we have a single task sequence (client upgrade task sequence) where each system will have a different administrator password.
Is there any way to configure the MDT wizard to only prompt for admin credentials when we select the client upgrade task sequence?

Network Drive for the Boot Image
Hi! I have another problem that I can't figure out regarding the boot image. Maybe someone can help me with some ideas, please. We bought a new model of computers and because the boot image didn't have the network drive for it I updated the deployment share. The new computers are working fine now, but I have problems with an older model. When I try to reimage it, it's telling me that the newtork drive is missing. I checked the driver and was loaded on the deployment share, but jsut for testing purposes I removed it and added again, after I updated the deployment share one more time. On the report generated at the end of the update process I can see the driver being injected, if I deploy an image using an older version of the boot image the driver is also installed properly, but whenever I try to boot from the new image I keep receiving the same message that it doesn't have the driver and I can't connect to the deployment share. On the WDS side I restarted the server, re-added the boot image, but nothing.
So, I can't find the cause why on the new boot image that particular driver doesn't work.

MDT 2013 U1 - Upgrade Task Sequence Win 7 -> Win 10
Hi Guys,
Have wasted two days struggling with it for now,
What I want to complete is upgrade to Windows 10 x64 Enterprise from Windows 7 x64 Enterprise
I am using my customized image and VMware env.
Generally upgrade completes, I have 0 errors and 0 error messages, I am logged to windows 10 desktop but... every time I try to reboot computer it stops during startup on System_License_Violation issue (0x03)
What I found is that it is related to : "The SetupType or SetupInProgress value from the setup key is missing, so setup mode could not be detected."
and this is true, SetupType is missing when deployment is completed, I reverted the snapshot, created it manually and system boots again but... I do not think this is correct way
Upgrade using Windows 10 DVD went smooth without issues so I suppose it should behave like this from MDT
I would like to find the reason why this key is not created - unfortunately don't know where it can be written - which log file.
regards

Upgrade LTSB 1507 to Enterprise 1511?
We need to upgrade some of our LTSB systems to CBB 1511.
I know we can just boot from the ISO and install over the top, but we need it to be more automated and we also need to run a script to deprovision most of the built-in Store apps that we become enabled after doing the upgrade.
What would be the process to do a non-destructive upgrade via MDT?

.NET Framework
Hey,
What is the best way of deploying 3.5, 4.5 and 4.6 to both Windows 7 and 10 machines.
With Windows 7, I downloaded the offline installers for all and added them as Applications to MDT, using silent install switches. When trying this on Windows 10 the 3.5 install causes the Add Features thing to open asking to install 3.5. So the 3.5 installer asks to install 3.5?!?!
I've seen the method of grabbing the 3.5 cab file from the Windows 10 media and add it as a Package to MDT and I'm just trying a deployment now. If it works, will the same cab file work for Windows 7? And then where can I get the cab files for both 4.5 and 4.6 Frameworks?
Thanks

How to Modify MDT TS for Computer Refresh Scenario
Hi,
I am new to MDT and trying to understand the MDT TS steps. I integrated SCCM Current Branch v1511 with MDT 2013 Update2. I can successfully deploy MDT Client Task Sequence which re-formats the disk and install the OS from PXE.
Now, I am trying to create an Online Computer Refresh MDT TS. TS will capture user data while computer is online.
I don't want to format the disk, I will use hardlink method for usmt. When I create a Client Task Sequence, it creates a TS that has many steps in it (I dont know if I really need them) and TS also has partitioning and formatting steps in it. Should I remove those steps or it decides what to do by looking at the conditions? IfI need to remove some TS steps, can you please tell me which groups or steps should I remove to do a Online Computer Refresh Scenario.
Thanks a lot.

I'm using a guide that is telling to import a snap-in on a Windows 2012 R2 Server using the following command, but it does not work.
Import-Topic"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Deployment Toolkit\bin\MicrosoftDeploymentToolkit.psd1"
New-PSDrive -Name "DS001" -PSProvider MDTProvider -Root "E:\MDTBuildLab"
Should the command be Import Module ??? or perhaps a "add-pssnapin ????
Import-Module"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Deployment Toolkit\bin\MicrosoftDeploymentToolkit.psd1"New-PSDrive -Name "DS001" -PSProvider MDTProvider -Root "E:\MDTBuildLab"

MDT CustomSetting.ini USMT
Hi,
We have an MDT used for imaging new and existing computers. I use a single task sequence to achieve this. I have specified the following in the customsettings.ini to get
[Default]
DeploymentType=REFRESH
SkipDeploymentType=YES
OSInstall=Y
SkipCapture=YES
SkipProductKey=YES
SkipBitLocker=YES
DoCapture=NO
SkipDomainMembership=YES
SkipTimeZone=YES
SkipLocaleSelection=YES
TimeZoneName=Eastern Standard Time
SkipBDDWelcome=YES
_SMSTSORGNAME=Win 7 Using MDT on %OSDComputerName%
UILanguage=en-US
SkipUserData=YES
UserDataLocation=NETWORK
UDShare=\server\USMTBackup
UDDir=%ComputerName%
BitsPerPel=32
VRefresh=60
XResolution=1
YResolution=1
GPOPACKPath=WithGPO
SkipAdminPassword=YES
JoinDomain=abcd.net
DomainAdmin=MDT_DOMJOIN
DomainAdminDomain=abcd.net
DomainAdminPassword=abcdpassword
MachineObjectOU= OU=Computers,DC=abcd,DC=net
Looking in to the BDD logs, it always specifies the deploymenttype as NEWCOMPUTER even though i have specified as REFRESH. Not sure what am doing it wrong ?

SFB issues in IOS Device after March 2016 CU Update
Hello Team,
This is to update you that recently i have upgraded the March 2016 CU for my SFB Server and found that still i am facing issues while doing an audio and video calls from Iphone Mobile device. Whereas from any Android device i am not facing such issues.
* From Iphone mobile using Skype for Business APP cannot make audio and video calls to the external federated contacts. Sometimes the chat also didn't responds and sometimes chat works.
* In Android device i am able to do IM , AUDIO , VIDEO calls without any issue with external federated contacts.
I am afraid how to solve this issue from IOS side. Can anyone help me in this to troubleshoot the issue.
Any help on the same will be appreciated.
