Wow, what a convoluted tool!
Anyway I am trying to understand which Task failed and how to correct the problem but I don't even know where to begin. Here is a screenshot of what happens when I try to install using the LiteTouch I burned onto a USB stick: "Operating system deployment did not complete successfully."
And then there are various cryptic failure codes but now what?
Thanks for your help.
Hi folks,
I am quite new using MDT and I have a question about an ISO created from an MDT 2012 in order to create custom VMs with Windows Server 2012 R2 OS.
Currently we have some VMWare ESXi clusters. These clusters are all separated from each other and they are in different ESXi version using different storages LUNs.
I am trying to use an ISO created from a MDT 2012 Server in one of these clusters. I noticed that just the cluster that I created the .wim file I can install custom VMs. If I try to install a VM using the same ISO in a different cluster (Different version)
it stops in the "Installing Operational System" step.
I was wondering if it's there is some compatibility issue across these VMWares hosts working in different versions.
Error message:
<![LOG[FAILURE (Err): 429: CreateObject(Microsoft.BDD.Utility) - ActiveX component can't create object
dism.exe /apply-image /imagefile:"path\image.wim" /index:1 /applyDirC
This version of dism.exe is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information and then contact the software publisher.
Tks for the help.

Hi,
I'm trying to deploy an application (JMOT) for my task sequence. The problem is that is a .jar file for the executable.
I try to just add a step with a powershell script, because I need to copy an entire folder on the "C:" target computer and then I try to create a symbolicLink to the desktop. It work locally on my computer but it don't work when I'm deploying with my task sequence.
I would like to know if they are best practice to deploy on a desktop for all user a .jar on MDT.
Thanks.
HI,
I'm in the process of streamlining our MDT setup and looking for advice on how to best deploy multiple versions of Office with other applications.
Previously we had a separate TS for each Office install (2010, 2013, 2016, 365).
I want to reduce it to just one TS to avoid updating multiple and have a test machine working, whereby all the Office versions are listed in the Applications Wizard and you can select which one you want to install.
However, we also install several "Core" Apps that install regardless of build. One of the apps we have in Core is Skype for Business.
I have found this needs to be install before SfB else the installer will fail, but the issue with installing it before the SfB basic installer is that the Basic Installer will remove the Office 365 SfB and install the Basic version.
Is it possible to Stop and install based upon a selection in the Application Wizard?
What are best practices for multiple Office versions?
Thanks,
I am trying to deploy an updated Windows 10 1903 (Build 10.0.18362.239) image using MDT 8456 / ADK 1903 / PS Addon 1903. I am able to deploy an image without the updates and also can deploy this updated version to legacy bios (non UEFI) without any
issues.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I have created a upgrade task sequence, which is working well and will successfully update a device to 1903.
However I have a strange issue where I get the OOBE prompts when logging in to an upgraded machine post upgrade but only on the local admin account.
Is this normal, and if so any way to stop this from happening?
You can exit the OOBE by running task manager, it then seemingly doesn't ask again.
But if you try to complete the OOBE I just get the 'Something went wrong' message with OOBESETTINGSMULTIPAGE every time.
Hi all,
I can't seem to get our new HP models to load the NIC drivers in WinPE when using our MDT.
I've tried importing the WinPE drivers (WinPE 3,4,5 and 10) from here:
https://ftp.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/HP_WinPE_DriverPack.html
And I have verified the selection profiles but I still can't get it to work.
I'm getting the following error:
The following networking device did not have a driver installed
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_15BB&SUBSYS_83EF103C&REV_10
Is there any way to find out exactly what driver it is unable to find?
Here is the wpeinit.log:

I've been using MDT for deployment for about a year now, and have captured WIM files for my reference image multiple times in the past. However, recently I have been failing to capture a good reference image for Windows 10 1809 and 1903. Even if the whole process goes fine, without any errors, the captured WIM at the end is always only 4,247KB. As great as it would be to have a working image as small as 4MB... this one does not work. I've found only one other post about this problem, here https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8d74d46c-df09-45a0-bd83-ff18a7e887f2/captured-windows-10-wim-file-too-small?forum=mdt
The eventual conclusion they came to was that it was capturing the mounted CD drive instead of the drive containing the Windows directory. I do not believe this is happening in my case, as my logs are stating that I'm capturing the C: drive, which is correct. I have also tried all the proposed solutions in that post to no avail. I have not modified any default settings regarding the backup drive. I was initially encountering this problem using MDT2013, but have since upgraded to version 8456 and experience the same problem still. I've tried everything I can come up with in the past few months, but am still unable to create a working reference image.
Any advice would be very welcome! See below for links to my BDD log files shared from Box.com. The first is a recent one, which is not working. The second is from the last time I was able to create a working reference image.

**I'm fairly new to MDT so please bear with me**
I have captured a working .wim image from a "Gold" Deployment Share with zero errors and works fine.
I then create another Deployment Share and import the captured .wim into the Operating Systems and create the standard vanilla TS setup just to see if the .wim will deploy correctly to a VM (VMWare). I import the LiteTouchx64.wim into the Boot folder of WDS and away we go. WDS is already configured and working as it should along with DHCP, DC, DNS, etc.
Everything is working fine until right before the last step which is installing some final applications like Firefox.
The weird part is if I hit "Ok" the deployment continues just fine and even finishes with Success Deployment Summary "During the deployment process, 0 errors and 0 warnings were reported"
I did pull up the BDD.log and the only thing I can find related to LTIBootstrap.vbs is stating that "File C:\MININT\Scripts\LTIBootstrap.vbs already exists in Target" -- in fact it says that for all the vbs scripts in C:\MININT\Scripts\____.vbs. That doesn't correlate to the same location however (C:\LTIBootstrap.vbs) as per the error message.
I do see earlier in the BDD.log that it did copy these scripts successfully from my Deployment Share with no issues.
Has anyone else seen this issue and if so how did you fix it? Any guidance or insight is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I try to recover the choices of applications selected in the wizard in the phase of prinstall.
The values (INSTALLEDAPPLICATIONSxxx) are not stored in the VARIABLES.DAT at the end of the wizard.
Can you help me ?
I currently image all dell computers with WDS/MDT. I currently have a TS's that does the following
1) copies files to "x:\Bios" folder
2) runs a bat file from "x:\bios" folder. Bat file script is:
::Change DIR:: cd /d x:\bios ::Flash Bios:: Flash64W.exe /b=OptiPlex7050.exe /s /f /noReboot /l=x:\bios\OptiPlex7050.log I have also tried just: /s /noReboot and /s /l=x:\bios\OptiPlex7050.log
The TS command line is: cmd /c x:\bios\7050.bat
I have read the logs and it shows a success code = 2 Reboot Required, however it breaks the task sequence and salmon screens resulting in an error. After the BIOS Upgrade TS runs,
the next TS is a restart so the bios can finish updating and then boot back into MDT so it resume where it left off.
I am running this on an OptiPlex7050, upgrading bios 1.11.x to 1.12.x
The purpose of the bios being updated in the beginning is to have the CCTK tool change bios settings, such as Legacy to UEFI and other such stuff that requires the WMI ACPI bios.
Thanks for any support.

Looking to permanently customize corp wallpaper and lock screen in the reference image.
I found a lot of scripts and methods to do so, however I was hoping that using the $OEM$ folder will do the trick for me but it does not. Any advice on the topic?
My $OEM$ folder is set this way:
\$OEM$\$1\Windows\web\4K\Wallpaper\Windows
all images replace with my company's as well as the Img0
I have Win7, 1703 and 1803 images in MDT. I'm trying to capture a change made to my 1703 image (the old way where the change is made on the VM).
Launching the VM and going to my Build$, it gets past sysprep and begins to create a WIM but stops at 3%.
I have plenty of room (1.54TB) of storage left on my 5TB drive.
I may delete the Sysprep & Capture TS for it and rebuild it, but I can't see why it repeatedly gets stuck at 3%.
Any idea?
Is there some known issue with new versions of winpe and slower multicasting? The server is 2016 1607. Winpe 1607 can multicast a computer in about half an hour, but newer versions take like 4 hours.
