How To Launch "Windows Server Backup" or "System Image Recovery" from Mdt2013 manually at the wizard

November 1, 2016, 5:45 pm

Hello,


I have been asked to do something unique. I would like to Pxe boot into a machine with MDT, and instead of selecting a option from the task menu, instead launch Windows Server Backup from the DOS prompt in the Mdt Pe environment.


The Boot Image that MDT Builds, is working fine for our task sequences, but in the case of a emergency, I would like to manually launch the Windows Server Backup so that I can restore a BKF manually via a cifs share.


I am able to launch dos, and have my network drivers from the dos prompt, but I am not aware of how to launch windows server backup from the mdt boot image.


What are the steps to add it to the Wim image, and then how to launch it manually when booted into the image from  a dos prompt?

Thank you so much!

Driver Deployment Issue

Hi All,

Here is my scenario. 

I have configured our MDT2013 to deploy drivers using the Total Control Method using the ModelAliasExit.vbs as explained by Johan in his site.

http://deploymentresearch.com/Research/Post/325/MDT-2013-Lite-Touch-Driver-Management

My driver folders look like this


My Task Sequence is given below

I tested the setup for deployment of Windows 10 on Lenovo T420 Laptop and it working perfectly alright. 

But after several attempts with an identical Task Sequence for Windows 7 it is missing the driver deployment totally. ( given below)

However, if I change the Task Sequence Inject Driver as below then it works.


Even if the above is working for Windows 7 but it is contradictory to how it is working for Windows 10. 


I am worried that his might be working now but definitely not following the standard way. 


Could someone throw some light and explain if I am doing something incorrectly. 

Regards,


Pankaj

Install State Unknown for all Applications installed during UDI Task Sequence

When the UDI Task Sequence finishes, a final "Deployment Complete" window is shown with three tabs (Welcome, Deployment Summary and Applications Installed) and a Start Windows button at the bottom. When I click on the "Applications Installed" tab, all applications have a yellow warning indicating "Install State Unknown" even though every application installs successfully without any errors in the logs. Also there is no SuccessOrFailureCode shown when expanding each application. These same applications install fine via normal deployments (post imaging) and using standard Task Sequences (Install Application step).

MDT 2013 Win 7 reference build failing - sysprep fails

November 2, 2016, 5:21 am

Up until recently, my reference image builds have been working perfectly. However, now they are failing on the sysprep stage. I'm getting the error: Sysprep could not initialize. There are one or more Windows updates that require a reboot. To run sysprep, reboot the computer and restart the application. 

The build is just a standard vanilla iso of Windows 7 (this is happening with x86 and x64) and the run Windows updates, sysprep and capture the WIM. 

Looking at the log, there's a lot of updates sysprep is removing during the deepclean, all are requiring a reboot. But, sysprep doesn't reboot and starts the generalize pass. Then fails. If I don't run any updates, sysprep works fine.

Any ideas where to start looking, or how to fix? I've even tried injecting as many updates as possible into the wim, and still get the error.

MDT Bitlocker Encryption - Pre build completion

Hi all,

So first time poster. 

I have a issue which i know can be resolved in SCCM and i think can be done in MDT but just need to find out. I have forgotten how to do it as well. 

We have Bitlocker drive encryption working automatically and automatically encrypting the drive post build/deployment. Once the OS and applications have been installed it works and starts encrypting and puts the key in AD.

What i want is for it to encrypt the drive post OS install. As part of the initial building process, it's one of the first thing it does. This is so that it doesn't increase the build time, because if it has nothing to encrypt, then it's speedy and much quicker, whereby it takes an extra 45mins - 1.5 hours for the encryption to finish. 

Do any of you guys know how you can do this, what steps you need to take in order to get this done. I had it in a previous company i worked for, but sadly cannot get hold of the TS in order to see what happened. 

Any help appreciated.

Can't get a ZTI of sysprep and capture going on a Windows 2012 R2 Core

I need a second set of eyes on this deployment because I've burn too much time attempting to get this working. I'm trying to get the command line correct for task-017 which is sysprep and capture for Windows 2012 R2 Core. If I test it on a non-core 2012 R2 I instantly jump into the task sequences but Core blows up with Failure 5206 - which translates into I'm missing an option so fire up msht.exe which doesn't exist and it bails.

Deploy CCMSETUP SCCM Client During MDT OSD?

I read a thread that says you should not deploy this via MDT task sequence, but use client push instead,

If you deploy via client push, wouldn't there be installation conflicts as other applications are installing via the task sequence at the same time and there may also be reboots for other parts of the OSD that happen while the client push is in the middle of running?

Error creating an image of Drive C:, rc =2

Hello, as mentioned in the subject line above, I get the following error when trying to capture an image of my reference computer:

Error creating an image of Drive C:, rc =2
ZTI Error - Non Zero return code by ZTIBackup, rc=2
ZTI ERROR - Non-zero return code by LiteTouch, rc = -2147467259

I've looked at other threads and tried suggestions such as adding the "Set Image Folder" / "Set Image Name" into the Task Sequence, but it solved nothing.

I am running Windows 7 Professional x64 and capturing from a server running MDT 2010.

Would there be anything else that would cause this?

Windows 10 1607 Build and Capture with SCCM Start Menu Issue

I'm having an issue with the build and capture process with Windows 10 anniversary addition.  I have created a generic build and capture sequence in SCCM 2012 R2 SP1.  I am able to capture a reference wim file.  When I try to then create an OSD Task Sequence using the new .wim it will apply to my workstation but when it gets to the first Windows 10 logon it sits at "We'll be ready soon" for at least 20 minutes.  When that process finally completes and I'm presented with a Windows Desktop the Start Menu and Cortana do not function.  When I click on them I get no response.  At this point I've stripped out any modifications to the Built and Capture Task Sequence, and the OSD Task Sequence, but it still does this.  My unattend.xml works fine with Windows 10 1511, so I don't think it is the problem.  This all being done on VMware VM's so I don't think it can be a hardware or driver issue.

MDT Revert or Fix

Hey,

So I recently took over my companies deployment. The person before me didn't have time to teach me much but I was sent to the class and expected to be able to replace him right away. Anyway, I didn't know that his deployment share was with Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2012 update 1. I downloaded 2013 and watched a video on how to go about it. Unfortunately I did not have the same results. When updating it I got an error when finishing saying it can't find Win_RERun.exe_TEMP_(4 digits that I missed) I can't find anything under the Win_RERun.exe. It was working fine with 2012. I saw that it preformed backups of all the data before updating it. Is there a way to go back that I'm not seeing? Or does anyone know what I need to do to fix this error?

I can try to provide as much more information as possible but am extremely new to this and am worried I just messed up all of the images for the computers. I need to attempt to fix this ASAP.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Update: I figure I should type what it says on the laptop I tried to image after I did this. 

"Operating system deployment did not complete successfully."

During the deployment process, 8 errors and 0 warning were reported

Details:

FAILURE (7900): 1: Findfile Microsoft.BDD.PnpEnum.exeLitetouch deployment failed, Return Code = -2147467259 0x80004005

Update #2:   I ended up using the backup I had been playing with. Fixed a couple things and believe that is working fine. I couldn't change the other way back to 2012 but I had two computers. One is 2012 still on it. I opened another one set this way and it seems to be doing the trick for now. I am still very much interested in seeing answers to the other problem though in case I want to move to 2013 in the future. Thank you again for taking a look and telling me what you think.

Sincerly,

Anthony

join to domain and firstTimeLogin commands

I am using mdt2013 update 2 and surface accelerator

surface accelerator is installed and created the deployment share properly with drivers, the 2 tasks deploy and capture;

I have uploaded into the deployment share the windows 10 iso;

I have captured a wim image customized properly with the suspend task

I am now testing deploying the captured wim to a new vm

the deployment share is the same (don't know why surface accelerator doesn't create 2 since you need 2 different customsettings.ini and/or 2 unattend.xml - you'll see what I mean lower)

anyway, I used the same deployment share and changed the settings in the customsettings.ini to include the following

JoinDomain=xxxxxxx.xx
DomainAdmin=xxxxxx\xxxxx
DomainAdminPassword=xxxxxxxx
MachineObjectOU=OU=xxxx,OU=xxxxx,OU=xxx xxx,OU=xx,DC=xxxxxx,DC=xx

I have booted the vm with the iso created from the deployment share; join to domain does not occur

next, I have added a command line to the deploy task sequence

script.exe %SCRIPTROOT%\CUSTOM\ZTIDomainJoin.wsf

positioned in the state restore after the windows updates (post application installation)

tested; join to domain does not occur

next I removed the settings from the rules (thus automatically from customsettings.ini) and the command line from the task sequence and added the same details in the unattend.xml manually , positioned in the specialize / amd64_microsoft-windows-unattendedjoin_neutral;

save tested ; join to domain does not occur

help ?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the other mystery is the firstTimeLogon comands

I have saved a batch file in the captured wim

the batch is launching some executables also saved in the captured wim files and also runs some regedit commands

these have to be ran at the deployment time and have nothing to do with applications in mdt , outside of the wim file;

they have to be executer from inside the image and reference local paths

I have added the path manually in the unattend.xml positioned at step 7 oobe system / amd64_microsoft-windows-shell-setup_neutral / firstlogoncommands

there was already one created by default so I've added a new one

order 2

command line   :   cmd /c   c:\batchfile.bat

it's not being launched

help ?

Clarification on Win PE drivers

Hi All,

I have setup our MDT 2013 and had managed to deploy image on a Lenovo T420 with Windows 10 Pro.

The folder structure of Out-of-Box driver is shown in the diagram.

I have download the Win PE version 10 drivers from the link below

http://support.lenovo.com/nz/en/downloads/ds105977

The link says that the support models are below:
************************************************

Support models     ThinkPad Yoga 260, ThinkPad S1
                   ThinkPad P50, P70
                   ThinkPaad L560
                   ThinkPad T460s
                   ThinkPad T560, P50s
                   ThinkPad X1Carbon, X1Yoga


Operating System -  Microsoft Windows PE 10 64-bit

**************************************************

Could you experts please clarify the following and educate me.

a) Although ThinkPad T420 is not mentioned in the supported model how does it work when the deployment is complete and Windows reboot to connect to the deployment share.

b) If I want to deploy Windows 7 on the same ThinkPad T420, do I have to install older version of Win PE to make it work.

I found that there are other links on Lenovo site that provides Win PE Ver5.0 and Win PE Ver3.1 .

c) We have a few HP laptops that I intend to create a build. Do I have to obtain Win PE driver from HP for Win 10 & Win 7.

d ) At what stage of the deployment process does Win PE drivers comes into action.


Thanks in advance. 

Cheers,

Pankaj
