Task Sequence will get to Inject Drivers stage then go VERY slowly, taking about 10-15 (sometimes more) minutes to complete the task.  It will then fail at the Applying Image stage with 'Litetouch deployment failed, Return Code = -2147467259  0x80004005'

I have tried doing diskpart, clean all on the drive, to no avail.  The only thing that has worked is to reboot the server.  It then seems to work for a little while, maybe a day or so, before needing another reboot.

Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2013 Update 2 on Windows Server 2012 R2, deploying Windows 10 Enterprise  1511.  

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello,

We have a Dell T5810 Precision i am trying to deploy with MDT 2013 U2 using Total Control
I am getting a BSOD Megasas2.sys error 359 on reboot, up until that point the drive is detected, formatted, drivers deployed and OS installed (Win7 SP1).  When i check the dynamic logs, no errors are appearing there. There is no NVME drive, its just a normal Samsung SM871 and the BIOS has been set to AHCI no RAID. we have the same SSD in many other Dell products and no problems with deployment.

I have tried booting with just 32 bit drivers, just 64 bit drivers, removing the Megasas2.sys 64bit drivers from LSICorp that get thrown in the boot.wim on updating the DeploymentShare. I have also tried the latest WinPE 3.0, 5.0 and 10 Cab packs from the Dell website which has made no difference to the error being recieved.

I can build the box manual and install drivers, but that doesn't fix the issue that is presented and defeats the purpose of having MDT in the first place.

Can anyone offer any suggestions??

I'm desperately trying to find a solution for the following problem:

I do a Standard Client Deployment task sequence in MDT for a Windows 10 x64 deployment. Everything of it works perfectly fine apart from the injection of the cumulative update KB3201845.
All cumulative updates have worked properly until KB3193494. All succeeding cumulative updates peculiarly fail to install.

Instead, DISM responds with error code 1726. Although there's a lot about this on the internet, I haven't found a solution yet.
KB3201845 is the only update that is being installed in the task sequence. The error definitely originates from that specific update (or any other version from KB3194798 through KB3201845) since the deployment will proceed successfully if it is skipped/not installed.

Neither the successful KB3193494 nor the failing subsequent updates require anything to be installed priorly, so why do the more recent ones fail?

Regards,

Keith

By setting SkipApplications=NO in the CustomSettings.ini, it will show all applications listed in the Deployment Workbench during the Wizard. You can slim down the list by selecting "Hide this application in the Deployment Wizard". 

Instead of going through all the applications and only leave a few (I'm looking to give Office options 2010, 2013, 2016, etc), is there a way to code only showing a few instead of hiding what I don't want to see?

Hi,

All our computers have an extra username in the form of their mac address in active directory. Based on group membership of this user the computer, by 802.1x, is placed into a different vlan for installation. Problem is the syntax is with - in bewteen instead of : because this character is not allowed in a username in active directory.
I need somehow to change the macaddress format from : to - and then use the macddress as a variable for the maik koster webservice to add the "user" to a group.

Any ideas?

DJITS.

Hi,

I removed MDT 2013 Update 2 and installed MDT 8843. After the install I Updated my MDT Deployment Share. My question now is do I have to rerun the SCCM Integration Wizard? And do I need to update my MDT Toolkit Package? Maybe something else?

I can't find conclusive information about this.

Regards,

DJITS

Hello everyone, please guide me how to resolve issue

Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again.

I'm running MDT 2013 Update 2 and ADK for Windows 10 1607 (10.1.14393.0). I did a deploy and capture of a Windows 10 1607 machine. I'm able to import the wim, create and use a task sequence, etc. However, I am unable to edit the unattend.xml through MDT. All machines involved are x64. I've tried from both the server running MDT and my Windows 10 workstation.

Hey,

Got a weird one here. On Windows 7 32 and 64 and Windows 10 64 the application installs just fine. On Windows 10 32 it fails with error 1603.

When deployment is finished and the PC restarts, I log back in as the local admin account, map a drive to the MDT share and run the same process (as configured in 'Quiet install command') and it is successful. The error is not a one off either - if I deploy the same machine 10 times I get the same error all 10 times.

I have the MSI logs from both a failed install through MDT and a successful install when done manually.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hello Dudes,

i have two task sequences on my USB, i can start the PE and choose manually which one i want to use.

I would like to do this automatically (SkipTaskSequence=YES), as set the TaskSequenceID="tasksequence1" and "tasksequence1"but use the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Deployment 4\TaskSequence REG_SZ value instead. The two PCs i have to install the images onto are with the same Hardware, but had a separate Task Sequence installation, that is the reason i have to use the TS ID and not some kind of ComputerName. 

If you have any possible workarounds or question, feel free

Regards

David

I am deploying a custom wim of Windows 10 x64 enterprise.  I built the image on VM and now trying out a USB media deployment.  The Deployment goes through till finish with no errors.  After the deployment I checked Device manager and had several bangs for missing drivers.  

I am using the "Total Control" method.

- I verified the name structure of my Out of Box MDT Folder "Windows 10\HP EliteBook 840 G1"

- I verified the WMI name is "HP EliteBook 840 G1"

- I built a CAB file using the HP SDM and imported that CAB into my Deployment Share.

- I verified in the TS that the pre-install "Set Drivergroup" sequence has the value of "Windows 10\%Model%"

- I verified in the TS that the pre-install "Inject Drivers" sequence selection profile is set to "Nothing" and "Install all drivers from selection profile."

- I see drivers being injected during the pre-install phase of deployment.

- No network cable is ever plugged in during the deployment or any moment after the deployment finishes (so driver logs can be as clean as possible on client side)

- Checked ZTIDrivers.log and see lots of drivers being copied to C:\Drivers. I do NOT see a C:\Drivers folder after deployment (Should I?)

- BDD.log shows at the beginning "Unable to determine asset tag by WMI"  but a few lines later in the log Property Model information is populated to be correct.

When it was all said and done I was able to verify some network drivers that did load were not the ones I imported (different versions, verified by updating driver and selecting my USB Deployment share Out of Box folder to search, it did load the driver from that search.)  I also updated devices that loaded generic windows drivers with the drivers from the Out of Box Folder.  Also, devices that had missing driver bangs were all able to be updated by manually selecting update driver and pointing the search to my USB Out Of Box Drivers folder.

So it seems my deployment is not loading any of my imported drivers and only loading built Windows drivers and I am not sure why.  I have looked over logs but this is kind of new territory for me and I am sure I am overlooking something.  I have to be, right?

You should be able to find the logs I think someone may need to help at this location:  Logs here

Thank you for any help that could be offered!

OS seems to install, but that's it.

Since updating  a few days ago, my internet explorer 11 has developed an issue. It asks me to select my new homepage settings.. but does not allow me to select "done". I cannot do anything with that window except close it through ctrl+alt+delete. I can open a new window and use the second window, but the first remains stuck on the "choose your homescreen and search settings"

I have read over the thread "IE11 hangs on "choose your homepage and search settings", windows7 system", but it only references an update that I do not have. KB3175443

I went through all the updates that installed this week and clicked on the "more info". Only 3 listed IE in the info section on the microsoft webpage, and I tried uninstalling those, but it didn't help. 

The thread I reference is

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/e5d6be1a-5b78-4532-9312-c3055a40026c/ie11-hangs-on-choose-your-homepage-and-search-settings-windows7-system?forum=mdt

EDIT: Main question is, what does /Online refer to - my mounted image or my "current running operating system"?

I've got the following folders and files:

D:\Test

D:\Test\Images

D:\Test\Images\WIN7.vhdx

D:\Test\Offline

First, does anyone know about the Win10 ADK and when you install it on a x64 machine, the Deployment and Imaging Tools Environment starts you in C:\Windows 10 ADK\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools and uses the dism.exe in that folder, whereas you should be using the one a few folders down, in .\amd64\DISM\dism.exe?  Anyway, took me a bit to figure that one out.

Anyway, I am following this page.

To mount the image, i issue this:

Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:D:\test\images\WIN7.vhdx /index:1 /MountDir:D:\test\offline

And it appears mounted (is this now able to be referenced by "dism /online..." or no? is being "online" different than being "mounted"? From other docs, /Online "specifies that the action is to be taken on the operating systemthat is currently running" which I took to mean my mounted image, and not, say, the OS that i'm logged in to (but i could be wrong).

Anyway, now my image is mounted. But if I issue this:

Dism /Image:D:\test\offline /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore

I get "Error: 87 The analyzecomponentstore option is not recognized in this context."

So I try using "/online":

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore

That DOES give me a report, but I want to make sure that it's working on my mounted image, and not my "current running OS" which again, I assume is the OS I'm logged in to. Am I missing something here?

That reference page above says I should be able to start the cleanup if the report recommends it (it does, again, if it's the correct report). So I issue this:

Dism /Image:D:\test\offline /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

Again I get the same Error 87 from above, but with the "startcomponentcleanup" piece being unrecognized.

Trying /online:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

Seems to start trying, and then around ... wait, what? seems like that worked.

Now I'll try the /resetbase

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

Interesting. Apparently, I never did the commands using /Online all the way through the process. I tried the /Online on another command and got an Error 14098 Corrupt Component Store.

I'm going to leave this post here for anyone else (or my future self when I search for this stuff again)

I'm not able to add NET Framework 3.5 to a Windows 10 Enterprise deployment using MDT 2013 Update 1. BDD.log shows

"SourcePath was set, but F:\Deploy\Operating Systems\Windows-10-Enterprise-x64\sources\sxs does not exist, not using local source."

The folder sxs does exist but unlike previous sxs folders I've seen, this one only has one .cab file in it, microsoft-windows-netfx3-ondemand-package.cab

The error I'm getting is

"ERROR - NetFx3 role processing with DISM.exe failed, rc = -2146498529"

Is there a workaround for this that anyone has found?

Hello all,

I'm Trying to make an UEFI offline media USB with MDT 2013 Update 2

The .wim size that I want to deploy is 4.32GB although I've set "SkipWimSplit" to False in :

•  %DeployRoot%\Controls\Settings.xml
•  %MediaRoot%\Content\Deploy\Controls\Settings.xml

MDT just copy my .wim file without splitting it but I can't copy it after on a FAT32 USB drive.

What should I do to make it work ?

Hello,

I used to send an email at the end of the LTI sequence task with this script :

https://deploymentbunny.com/2014/06/13/osdusing-ztisendmail-to-send-email-in-a-ltizti-task-sequence/

But now the smtp server is secure and the email notification must be sent with user and password authentification (SMTPS).

What shoud i do ?

Thanks for your help.

Hello

I am creating a USB boot Media for one of our sites so that they can image their laptops offline

they have different Customsettings.ini from what we have at our main office.

in order to apply the settings I right click Media001 and change the Cs.ini from default to what is should be and then update the medai001.

the problem is that the settings don't seem to be applied when I image a computer using USB.

any Idea?

I use MDT2013 update 1

Thanks

I am network booting to a server using an ISO burned to a flash drive. On one particular hardware platform I get a error from Windows Boot Manager saying Windows failed to start followed by how to fix the problem by running a repair and this info:

File: \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD

Status: 0xc000000f

Info: The Boot Configuration Data for your PC is missing or contains errors.

It then reboots after a few minutes but always comes back to this screen.

Now, if I hit F12 (Lenovo ThinkCentre M900) for a boot menu I see that there are 2 optins for Windows Boot Manager

SATA 1:  Windows Boot Manager

SATA 1:  Windows Boot Manager

If I let it run on the first option, I get the no boot situation. However if I select the second option, I can successfully boot into new OS. 

Once in the new OS I do a bcdedit /enum firmware I get:

{fwbootmgr}

{GUID} (Not "GUID" but I don't want to type the big long number!)

{bootmgr}

{more GUIDs}

.

.

.

If i delete the GUID from above {bootmgr} (bcdedit /delete {GUID} problem solved.  I don't like that as my solution though.

Here's the strange part. The boot image I am using is from a server that is running MDT v6.3.8443.1000.  If I do the whole process on server (create boot image from and boot to) that is running v6.3.8330.1000 I can successfully install an OS with no extra firmware entry above {bootmgr}.

Is this a bug with 8443? Is there a way to fix it? I feeling like my solution is more of a work around.
