Hello everybody
I'm about to set up an MDT server. (MDT Server is in WORKGROUP) Now I have 2 problems.
1. The notebooks that I set up should go into a domain (Azure). For this I would have to give a DNS server (task sequence or rules). Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
2. Once the laptops are in the domain, they are automatically logged in with a specific domain user.
I thank you in advance.
I am trying to complete in-place upgrades on various Dell desktops, servers and notebooks and have run into failures that I cannot resolve.
I am using the same process on all computers, but if I try the upgrade on Dell Optiplex 5050s or Precision 5810s the upgrade fails. Both computers have identical software and both are using the same Task Sequesnce. Another unusual problem is if I upgrade from Win 7 to 10, the failure causes a rollback, but with Win 8 to 10 the upgrade completes but none of the post processing runs. This stops our layout, local policy, security settings, etc. from being configured.
I am using MDT 8450
To upgrade the computer, I have a .bat file on the deployment share. For the upgrade, I copy the file locally, right click on the .bat file and choose run as administrator.
bat file code:
Start "" "\\mdtserver\deploymentshare$\LiteTouch.vbs - Shortcut.lnk"
Links to the bdd and smsts logs for both success and failure are located below.

Success - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s19dsihc04jw6ts/AADca8JAPiMJ2Y5tLLyJeD9Ta?dl=0
Thank you for any assistance
I have MDT version 6.3.9600.16384 and running ADK 10.1.16299.15. I recently captured 2 devices with Win10 1809. Now I am stuck with this error anytime I try to deploy an image to any device. Please help
Good Afternoon,
I am reaching out because I feel like I am having tunnel vision here. Something just isn't right. Ive followed step by step guides on deploying a Custom WIM file. Used VMWare to build the machine in Audit Mode, captured the image by running the LiteTouch.vbs script, used a standard sysprep and capture sequence. Each and every time, this fails. HOWEVER, it i were to use a standard Win 1803 wim file, the operating system will be installed with the same task sequence that is failing. Which leads me to believe that there is something wrong with the capture.
Here is the capture sequence that is in place:
I am just asking for a second set of eyes. Maybe there is something small that I am missing.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hey guys,
I've been searching for this and haven't found an answer yet.
I started using a total-control method deploying my drivers and for the most part it's been great - But when trying to import my driver package to another deployment share, it reports tat it cannot copy files because there are duplicates.
I thought it might have just been complaining about the files itself (because MDT seems to manage the back end files on its own, as not to create duplicates, etc.) and still be copying all the links in my organized folders... but it isn't doing them either.
Has anybody found a solution for this?
Thanks,
I have seen this before when we have stopped a deployment in progress and want to start it over.
However, now we are seeing this message spontaneously when we haven't stopped the deployment.
When deploying certain laptops, during the middle of the deployment, they hang up with this error:
"An existing in progress deployment was found but is not in an expected state. Would you like to ignore this in progress deployment and start a new one?"
Someone has to click "NO" for the next 2 or 3 restarts and then it finally stops showing the prompt and continues with the rest of the deployment normally
How can we find out why this keeps happening and stop it?
Hi all,
I'm not overly familiar with MDT so bear with me on this one.
Despite my inexperience, I am implementing WDS and using PXE boot along with it. I have followed multiple guides down to the letter, all of them have recommended installing MDT also, so this is what I have done.
I have followed this guide.
Sorry if posting external links is not allowed
However, I am always failing at the step to update the deployment shares.
I keep getting this error:
=== Making sure the deployment share has the latest x86 tools === === Processing LiteTouchPE (x86) boot image === Building requested boot image profile. System.Management.Automation.CmdletInvocationException: Unable to open the specified WIM file. ---> System.Exception: Unable to open the specified WIM file. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The system cannot find the path specified --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Microsoft.BDD.Core.BDDWimFile..ctor(String wimPath, Boolean forUpdate) at Microsoft.BDD.PSSnapIn.UpdateDeploymentPoint.UpdateBootImage(String template, String platform, String dpPath, Boolean createISO, String isoName) at Microsoft.BDD.PSSnapIn.UpdateDeploymentPoint.ProcessRecord() at System.Management.Automation.CommandProcessor.ProcessRecord() --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.PipelineBase.Invoke(IEnumerable input) at Microsoft.BDD.Wizards.UpdateProgress.WizardProcessing() at Microsoft.BDD.Wizards.WizardProgress.InitiateWizardProcessing()
Note: Windows ADK & MDT are installed on a separate partition to the C: drive.
I have followed this guide twice, the first time I installed everything to the C: drive but this did not work, then I installed them separately to the F: drive hoping this would work, but to no avail.
I'd be grateful if someone could give me some advice as to why this is happening?
I can browse to the Local Path and the UNC path (from other domain machines)

Reece
Hi, I've run into a problem trying to boot into and MDT environment to perform an initial syprep and capture. after starting the VM I'm using it sits there for maybe a minute then goes to a command prompt, the only error i have been able to find is in wpeinit.log where the following two lines are logged
2019-05-02 20:02:56.384, Info Successfully executed command 'wscript.exe X:\Deploy\Scripts\LiteTouch.wsf' (exit code 0x00001577)
2019-05-02 20:02:56.384, Info STATUS: FAILURE (0x80071577)
then the final line
2019-05-02 20:02:56.384, Warning Applying WinPE unattend settings failed with status 0x80071577; ignoring shutdown settings
I can't find anything on any of these error codes.
I have tried updating the deployment share and have even gone as far as to create a new deployment server VM, install the ADK and MDT on that and try again with the same results. exploring the deployment VM shows that the scripts exists in the correct place and it can connect to the deployment server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello
Im having a problem with my task sequences.For some reason when i select 01 task then it will check all of the applications and not the specific ones that are in defined in the custom settings file. also the computer name stays as comp1 when i even try to
select task sequence 02. Any suggestions? The reason why im not adding the applications inside the task sequence itself is because we have situational computers and the tech needs to select or deselect some apps if needed.
My settings file
Any help would be appreciated[Settings] Priority=01,02,Default Properties=ComputerType,MyCustomProperty [01]
OSDComputerName=comp1 TimeZoneName=FLE Standard Time KeyboardLocale=en-us UserLocale=en-us UILanguage=en-US FinishAction=NONE Applications001=id1 Applications002=id2 Applications003=id3 Applications004=id4 Applications005=id5 [02]

I am trying to run a script to move the computer object to a different OU.
And getting Incorrect function 0000001 error. I am guessing it is not seeing the script?
What have I missed here?
Hello, All
I would like to ask help on how to limit the access to mdtshare while zerotouch should still work as expected in the target computers.
By the way we are upgrading from Windows 7 Ent to Windows 10 Ent to more than 5000 target computers.
I am only using MDTServer and BatchPatch.
Scenario 1:
When MDTshare folder (Deployment Share) is shared to specific AD account only (Executor), below deployment script doesn't work for ZeroTouch using below script via BatchPatch.
cscript.exe \\mdtserver\mdtshare\scripts\LiteTouch.vbs /rulesfile:ZeroTouch.Ini /TaskSequenceID:DEP10ENT64ENOF
Scenario 2:
When MDTshare folder (Deployment Share) is shared to Everyone, the same script works fine for ZeroTouch deployment via BatchPatch.
Scenario 3:
When MDTshare folder (Deployment Share) is shared to specific AD account only (Executor), LiteTouch deployment in target computers (selecting/filling out one by one until clicking finish to start deployment) works fine.
How can I limit to a few AD account only to access the mdtshare folder but still ZeroTouch deployment script will work via BatchPatch? This is to avoid any users accessing the MDTShare. Any help would be much appreciated.

Has anyone seen this issue before? (using CPU-Z tool) (win10 1803 or Win10 1709)
1. Litetouch media with dynamic drivers for 5530. Installs fine but the CPU Thread performance scores lower than 600
2. SCCM standalone media, same drivers for 5530. Installs fine. CPU Thread performance scores 2k -3k.
3. Manually install drivers using pnputil. Installs fine. CPU Thread performance scores 2k -3k.
It appears that the way MDT is injecting the drivers is the cause. I am not sure what the difference in driver injection for MDT vs SCCM.
Any ideas is greatly appreciated.
thx.

I have been getting the "Inactive Devices" error shown below anytime the pc starts updating for new security updates and drivers. This happens after fresh install of windows 10. I have both Dell and HP pcs and it is happening
to both. The system boards, hard drives and video cards have been replaced. Still getting the error. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
I had thought, several versions ago, that capturing an image did not sysprep it...and now using the Sysprep and Capture TS it does obviously sysprep the image.
Is there a way to capture a physical machine as a wim and not have it sysprep the image? It's a question my manager presented and I figured I'd pose that here. (It doesn't matter to me whether it syspreps the Deployment end).
