Hi,
Has anyone had an issue importing the the latest 1809 (downloaded from the MVLS site that was re-released in Nov) into MDT? Each time I try to import the OS the progress gets up to 98% and then it fails saying "the system cannot find the path specified". I do have the 1809 ADK version and also installed the WinPE version for 1809 too. The MDT version I'm using is 8540.
Importing other versions of Windows 10 works fine.
This is the error I get:
Performing the operation "import" on target "Operating system".
The system cannot find the path specified
The system cannot find the path specified
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The system cannot find the path specified

Any advice or help would be great. Thanks!
Hi All
I am currently troubleshooting an intermittent issue with MDT deployments for Window 10 1903. Halfway through deployments machines are occasionally getting stuck in the “Getting Windows Ready” loop.
After further investigation I looked at the current status of all Windows Services to see if any where in a crashed state. After process of elimination here is what I found:
Note: We use Connectwise Remote Control which gives me system command prompt
sc queryex TrustedInstaller
SERVICE_NAME: TrustedInstaller
TYPE : 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
STATE : 3 STOP_PENDING
(NOT_STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
CHECKPOINT : 0x3
WAIT_HINT : 0x3763b0
PID : 3292
FLAGS :So it appears that TrustedInstaller is in a crashed state. If I then run:
taskkill /PID 3292 /F
The computer then reboots and the TaskSequence continues and completes without error.
What would be your suggestion on me figuring whats happening here and how to properly resolve it?
Note: I think I have deduced from the logs that the Getting Windows Ready loop happens around the time a TS reboot is set after Applications being installed
Thanks!
Hi
I have an old and a new MDT server. The old one is production with version 8330, and the new one is currently version 8450. When I copy the Deployment share from the old MDT server to the new MDT server it gets upgraded fine. But when I starts a deployment from the new server it doesn't takes the settings from the customsettings.ini. This mean the domain information doesn't get prefilled.
First try was with version 8456 on the new server. No go!.
secord attempt was with version 8450 as some people on the web wrote that I needed to hits this version first to make sure the Task Sequence templates would work. Well. It still doesn't work.
I've made sure the ID's of the task sequences are correct. In the customsettings.ini the priority is: Priority=TaskSequenceID,Default.
Is there a special way to upgarde when on version 8330?
Sincerly

I am using MDT to capture an image from a Windows 10 version 1903 Hyper-V vm and once I run litetouch.vbs from within the VM and it reboots, it fails with the errors in the attached screenshot ("Failed to run the action: Execute Sysprep"). I have tried creating a fresh VM and running the task sequence again but it still fails with the same error. I have also tried creating a new capture image task sequence and it still fails. I am running MDT version 6.3.8456 and I have updated my deployment share
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I know by default MDT uses Windows built-in admin account to run and install everything because of the privileges that it has by default. At the end, that is also the only user created. I have been looking for a way to have a different user created and be the only profile available at completion.
Looking through the Unattend.xml I found where the built-in admin gets enable and setup. My question is, could I change this so that a different user is created and given the necessary privileges to run? Or is there another way to do what I am
looking for?
If so, what would be needed/recommended to change? If not, why not?
By the way, this is all standalone, done a single computer.
I am having an issue with some Elitebook 840 G6 PCs but not all of them. The issue is the PC gets to the MDT screen and then reboots before prompting for credentials.
I have downloaded all the drivers from HP using the SofPaq software and I have manually exported the drivers from the computers that are failing and imported them into MDT.
I have also verified the HP WinPE drivers are the latest version.
Any thoughts?
Good morning all,
I have been managing an MDT server for several years now. Within my task sequence, I set the DriverGroup001 variable (to "Windows 10\%Make%\%Model%") so MDT automatically handles driver installs. I use the Set Task Sequence Variable for this. For drivers, I download and import the CAB file from the Dell Enterprise CAB site. I have my Drivers folder organized. Windows 10 is the parent folder. Then, I have folders with the make name. And within those folders, I have the model folders. My task sequence has worked great for several models. I've installed Windows 10 on the OptiPlex 7050, OptiPlex 5250 AIO, Precision 7720, Latitude E6230, and Latitude 3379 to name a few models. Now, we have the OptiPlex 7060 and MDT imports the drivers as expected. However, once the computer restarts and goes into Windows, I get the message, "Cannot connect to deployment share". I turned on the shell for troubleshooting. I look at the Device Manager and see that MDT missed a lot of drivers, the network driver being amongst them. I can manually install the drivers. I can browse the C:\ drive and Windows finds the drivers. So, they are on the computer. After I install the drivers, I can click Retry on the error message that pops up and my deployment completes successfully. My initial thought is that there needs to be some delay because MDT is moving too fast through the process and not allowing the drivers to get installed. I remember reading a post about MDT and faster hardware, but I have not found it again. I do not mind editing the VBS script files and adding a pause. But, I am not quite sure if that would help or where I would add the pause. I also wanted to post and see if anyone else came across similar issues with the newer hardware. I'm scratching my head wondering why everything works on other models, but not our newest one. I appreciate anyone's input. Thank you!
Hello,
I have been making Offline Media USB Sticks and recently have been running into an issue with Offline Media.
I first diskpart a USB Drive into two partitions: 1 x 16GB Fat32 and then 1 x 48GB NTFS.
I then copy the the Boot files and most of the Deploy folder over to the FAT32. I also set the DEPLOYROOT = the NTFS drive. (ie. DeployRoot=E:\Deploy)
That is where I copy the entire DEPLOY folder.
Normally the applications I tested with would install, though I was copying them to both drives. Though now I have a scenario where the applications do not fit on the FAT32 Partition and I am receiving an error:
CHANGE Directory: D:\Deploy\Applications\Application Name
WARNING: UNABLE TO SET WORKING DIRECTORY
Well, my BootStrap says that the working directory should be E:\Deploy and not D:\Deploy which works for finding the WIM file and it installs the OS, though when it goes to do the applications I guess it's always been installing them from the D Drive and I just didn't realize until now.
I would really like these to install from E so that I may fit as many GB as I need on the NTFS side.
Any assistance with this is appreciated.
Thank you,

I am facing a problem where the two task sequence steps "Install Windows Update (Pre-Application)" and "(Post-Application)" are not installing the most recent Service Stack and Cumulative Updates.
I am staging a Windows 10 Image and I simply get the monthly Cumulative Update released on patch-Tuesday but the following "mid-month" updates are not being installed over the task sequence.
For example on a Windows 10 1809 Image I get the KB4512578 for September but not the following KB4522015 or KB4516077. I also noticed that the ZTIWindowsUpdate script is not receiving the current SSU. If I install the SSU over the task sequence I still do not receive the newest updates.
What I did notice is that the "mid-month" updates are not marked as "security update" in the update catalog. In my opinion this should not cause a problem but might be a reason behind it.
Hello,
MDT require msi based application to deploy them silently.There are serveral applications like able2extract adobe acrobat,Java,lync 2013 etc that I need to deploy and I am unable to find their MSIs?Is there a platform for that?Can you please guide me?
The data of the C D E disk will be backed up. The domain user's data is included in the USMT.MIG file.
The data of the D and E disks will be restored after the system is deployed. However, the data of the domain users under the C drive will not be restored.

I created a reference build TS.xml that worked fine from my default MDT install. For a new environment (new domain, new MDT, new everything), I create a TS and then copy that original TS.xml into the control\ts\ts.xml of this new deployment. (I edit the OS location entry and everything looks fine)
It lays the OS down fine, does all the steps fine, starts executing capture WIM step fine (i see it create the WIM file in the captures folder and the size starts to grow). Eventually it crashes with the following errors. I can create a new TS and capture no problem. I need to be able to automate the installation and configuration of MDT for multiple domain builds and this is the only piece that is eluding me. Is there somethign in the xml that needs to be modified to be able to copy from one MDT installation to another?
