Office Click-to-Run in MDT Image

August 23, 2016, 11:26 am
$

I am looking to create a customized Windows 10 image. I have installed an MDT 2013 Update 2 server to do the install. Within my image I would like to install Office Click-to-Run 2016. I am using the following article for guidance:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn314789.aspx

I am using MDT to both deploy and capture the image. When the image finishes capturing I am getting the following warning:

"Unexpected return code while re-arming Office 2016, RC = -1073425660"

Image

Any help in determining if this is an issue and fixing it would be appreciated.

Thanks,

We have a working MDT server that images laptops with Windows 10 1809, the reference image was made with the English language pack, now I need to add french language, this can be done during deployment but I would also like to set the default language to french, the keyboard and the system locales.

Could someone provide some guidance please on how to approach this?

Option to keep split wim (swim) files after media has been created?

December 12, 2017, 1:39 pm

Just wondering if there is a setting were MDT can keep the swm files it creates (rather than purge them)? Currently, it creates and deletes them every time I build the media. This process causes a lot of delays.

1) the long process of splitting the wim is repeated every time I build media, even in situations where the source WIM is unchanged. So, for example, I need to add a driver so I tweak the selection profile and rebuild. Without split WIM this would be very quick because all its doing is adding those drivers. With split WIM it's slow because even though the WIM is unchanged, it goes through the long splitting process again.

2) I get hit again when I'm actually writing the media (USB). I typically write the media with Robocopy MIR so I only need to copy what's new. In the case of adding an application or updated drivers, it's usually only a few hundred MB (because robocopy ignores the WIM since the files date is the same). With split WIM, its several GBs because the file date on the SWMs are always newer since MDT rebuilds them every time.

Specify credentials for connecting to network shares

Hi, I've been banging my head against this problem all day. 

I'm trying to hide the 'User Credentials' screen, I've updated the the boostrap.ini as below:

[Settings]
Priority=Default

[Default]
DeployRoot=\\MDT\DeploymentShare$
SkipBDDWelcome=YES

UserID=myuser
UserDomain=mydomain
UserPassword=mypassword
KeyboardLocale=en-UK
SkipUserData=YES

I've updated the deployment images, removed the boot images from WDS and re-added them, but the dialog still remains.

Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers,

Stephen.

MDT 2010 Database

Hi all,

Need a bit of assitance on this,

I have the database on our SQL Server, permissions have been setup for it.

The MDT server has been in use for a while, I just created a new deployment share for the Database use.

ServerName: <name>

Instance: blank

Port: blank

Network Library: DBMSSCON

SQL Share: temp (points to a temp folder on the SQL server, just for connect purpose

Database Name: mdtdb

 

I have created a Computer under the computer folder, filled in the UUID and the serial number.

Under the details tab, I said YES to all the Skip Wizard Control. Also I put in the TaskSequenceID under Misc.

I just want it to run the install of the task sequence.

 

Then I just run the build, pushing F12 to kick it off. I get the tasksequence option say next and it ask me for admin password etc..even though I have said to skip.

 

I am assuming I am missing something here.

 

any idea.

 

Am new to the DB setup for MDT 2010.

Deploy MDT image without WDS

greetings,

first of all, sorry english is not my mother ongue

In my company, i'm currently deploying computers on my 2 main site thanks MDT/WDS, everything works fine.

We have a medium sized site and i want to deploy computers on this site.

The problem is that i only have one synology NAS there :

1) I copied the deployment share => no problem

2) I enabled the TFTP role => no problem

3) I configured dhcp settings : "Option 66 : syno's ip"

4) on the NAS, i created a shared folder that will contain the boot image

But that is the problem, what on earth must i put in that shared folder ??

- Litetouchx64.iso / .wim ? 

- content of litetouch iso ?

- content of the "boot" folder of the deployment share ?

I tried to put litetouch.iso then, specify the file on 67 option of my DHCP. The file loads well but nothing happens then.

Btw what do i have to set on 67 option ?

thanks !!!

CustomSettings.ini Priority

We're using TaskSequencID based customsettings.ini to deploy different settings to each Task Sequence. It is my understanding the Priority= line controls the order in which the sections are run/applied and the majority of the variables are first-write wins, meaning once set they can't be overwritten. 

With that said. If I had the below example, SkipCapture being the first write wins variable, it would be set under the TaskSequence001 section to YES, then [Default] would run and set it again, doing nothing (variable already set). End result would be SkipCapture=YES and the page is skipped. That's not what I'm seeing. Anything set in [Default] seems to win regardless so the only way I can get per task sequence settings to apply is NOT set them under [Default] but that results in having to constantly set every shared variable under each and every task sequence.

 

Piriority=TaskSequenceID,Default

[TaskSequence001]

SkipCatpture=YES

[Default]

SkipCapture=NO

MDT OSDComputerName to pull First word of Make as the computer name

This is my current syntax to getting the OSDComputerName

:Set ComputerName
OSDComputerName=#Left("%Make%",9)#-#right("%SerialNumber%",4)#

This however does not properly name my computer if it comes from different manufacturers.

eg. AsusTek Computer Inc, Dell, Lenovo, Microsoft Corporation

With my current syntax, it will grab the first 9 character from the left, so if its an asus PC being deployed, it'll show as
AsusTek C-SerialNumber.

Is there any way to make it so that as soon as it finds the first Space, then the previous characters of the %Make% are used for OSDComputerName.

w10 image "crafting"

planning W10 deployment...

I would like to know if there is an article/blog with a list of suggestions about making W10 in production really "athletic", instead of leaving it "fat" and heavy as it comes out of box.

I guess it should be a list of GPOs, like disable OneDrive, Tiles, Cortana all the "mining" settings for user interactions and experience and etc...

How you tweak W10 deployment? May be some script during deployment that makes W10 as neat as possible.

Thx.

I am having a difficult time configuring MDT and WDS to boot two different versions of windows. What I want to do is whenever a device PXE boots is to offer two options one for windows 10 1803 and one for windows 10 1809. 

What are the best options to accomplish this?

Inaccessible boot device

Hey Guys!

We have a problem and I already invested some hours to resolve it but unfortunately I can't fix it without help.

We have an MDT 2013 with Windows 8, Windows 10, Server 2012 and Server 2016. Every task sequence (we also have Win 10 1703 / 1803 / 1809) works fine. Only the Server 2016 doesn't work.

We are using HP Servers such as ML350 Gen 10 and want to deploy the host system (hyper v) also with the MDT but this doesn't seem to work. When we install the host system with a windows cd it works without any problems and later we can just run the MDT task sequence with Server 2016 for the virtual machines without problems. So it is just the physical server which doesn't work.

I am currently testing the deployment with a ML380 Gen 10. The server has a raid controller where a RAID 1 with 2 x 240 gb ssd is configured for the windows system (we didn't create the raid partitions for the data yet). I already tried to change the storage controller to Smart Array Raid SW support in bios and back to SATA AHCI without any effect. The RAID 1 is also configured as boot partition in the BIOS.

I thought that maybe something is wrong with the drivers and I just downloaded and imported them to the MDT (for every single server model we sell). I added the "inject driver" to the task sequence in Preinstall --> Refresh only with selection profile "Windows Server 2016" (where I imported all drivers for the servers) but this didn't work either....

The deployment or the install of the operating system itself runs without problems.. just right after it finished installing and it wants to restart it shows the loading bar of windows and after some seconds it shows a BSOD with "INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE".

Has anyone of you an idea how I can fix this? If you need any further informations just tell me and I will add them to the topic.

Thanks in advance.

In-Depth MDT Process Question

February 26, 2019, 6:48 am

Hi All, I'm in the midst of building my first reference image and my brain keeps coming back to a question I can't seem to find any info on. I've looked through no telling how many web pages/articles and don't see any mention of it. 

When you kick off a deployment, are the scripts in MDT (ztigather,ztiutility,ltisuspend, etc) and application installers, the image, basically the deployment share,all downloaded locally and THEN run? Or does the process look at cs.ini/task sequence and then run the needed script for a particular step across the network one at a time as needed? Meaning, the image only downloads when it is called, any apps and their source files are installed across the network as they are called. 

I hope some of that makes sense, and it probably isn't even something I HAVE to know. More curiosity at this point. I think what I'm wondering is when you start a deployment, will it be a constant stream of bandwidth being used the entire time the deployment is happening, or does it download everything at the beginning and then run it locally so the bandwidth usage time is shorter?

Hello MDT Guru,

I have just upgraded my MDT 2013 to version 8456 and when trying to capture the reference image, the sysprep failed with an error. "can't find litetouch.vbs" script.

I seems like the sysprep process somehow strip off the driver of the NIC.  When I look at the NIC, it has the big RED X.

My environment.

Dell Optiplex 5050.

MDT version 8456,

ADK 1809

WinPE 1809.

I build an image from windows 10 1803, and upgrade it to 1809.  The computer was fully patches.

I can still deploy Win 10 1803 with no problem.

Thanks for your help.

When trying to deploy a Windows 10 1809 image it fails on installing the operating system. What I have discovered is maps the partition to something other than C, in most cases it is E. If I change the drive letter in diskpart and reboot the OS is there.
