Hi all,

I am trying to sysprep and capture an image with MDT but Sysprep is failing all the time:

Here is the setupact.log:

Here is the MDT error screen:

I see a lot of posts about spopk.dll but it seems to be fixed in the latest CU 1903 update, besides I am imaging Win10 1909 with the December CU installed

Dear Community,

We have managers added in all users.

But for one specific user(let say User A) the bot shows below error and to his subordinates as well.

While I can see information for all other users without any issue.

Please help me out in this regard.

Although the user A shows up under its manager but when I click on it, above error shows and I can't also search employees reporting to User A ,when searching I get the same error.

I have checked at Microsoft Admin center, User A is showing up as manager for its subordinates.

I have also re-added the User A's manager again after removing it. Still, It does not show Organizational Chart View. All of  User A's subordinates chart view is not showing either. One thing that I must share is that when I search for user A manager , it shows up and user A also shows up below its manager.But when I click on User A to see org chart view, it gives the error that I shared previously.

I have checked through /org and it gives same error.also one of User A subordinates doesnot show up in the search list at all.Its weird.

It's the same error through Microsoft app and  web both.

All users reporting to User A are having this issue.

User A cant still not see it even when he logins through his account to microsoft teams.

Hello all,

First time posting for help and I can’t wrap my head around this issue. I am currently running MDT 2012 and USMT4 with the hotfix for x64 and x86 (KB2023591) on a Windows 7 x64 machine while deploying from a USB media. My issue is with USMT, particularly when trying to do an online capture. Whenever scanstate is executed from an online replace scenario task sequence during a deployment, everything is captured smoothly in a .mig file. When MDT tries to load the data back into the machine by using loadstate. It loads the user profiles within 2 minutes and the “This Computer” profile takes about 4 to 5 hours to transfer 350MB. After looking at the logs I came across multiple instances where there appears to be 4 minute delays in the data processing, please see the log snippets below. Apparently the logs are saying that it stalls for about 4 minutes exactly whenever it tries to use “search indexer: Win32Exception”. Does anyone know why it keeps hanging for 4 minutes in these multiple spots?

Here is the Scanstate command that MDT runs:
Command line: C:\MININT\USMT\X64\scanstate.exe E:\Deploy\Applications\BackupHERE /v:5 /c /o /i:C:\MININT\USMT\X64\MigApp.xml /i:C:\MININT\USMT\X64\Migdocs.xml /config:C:\MININT\USMT\X64\ZTIUserState_Config.xml /l:C:\MININT\SMSOSD\OSDLOGS\USMTcapture.log /progress:C:\MININT\SMSOSD\OSDLOGS\USMTcapture.prg

Here is the Loadstate command that MDT runs:
E:\Deploy\Tools\x64\USMT4\loadstate.exe E:\Deploy\Applications\BackupHERE /v:5 /c /lac /i:E:\Deploy\Tools\x64\USMT4\MigApp.xml /i:E:\Deploy\Tools\x64\USMT4\Migdocs.xml /config:E:\Deploy\Scripts\ZTIUserState_Config.xml /l:E:\logs\USMTrestore.log /progress:E:\logs\USMTrestore.prg

Here are the log snippets:

I've enabled Bitlocker on my Deployment Share and have a window in the Wizard prompting if you want to encrypt or not.

It has been working perfectly, but lately 'some' Dell laptops will get encrypted and create a Bitlocker key even if you choose NO.

All of my Panasonic models behave correctly, but these new Dells have an entirely different looking BIOS. I'm not sure if there is a new setting to allow a choice to encrypt or not, but choosing NO in the Deployment Wizard doesn't seem to matter.

If anyone has insight into the newer Dell models (one being Dell 3400), I'd appreciate any info.

People, I have Modified my "DeployWiz_ComputerName.xml" to make a Dropdown for the OU as apparently typing the whole thing was easy to get wrong, the Updated section is below, and this works perfectly now.

However the Section above this (Domain To Join) is also causing issues as we have multiple domains to image machines for and people forget to change it to the relevant one, Does anyone know of a way we can mod the XML here so that once the OU to Join has been selected, it automatically updates the Domain to Join ?

Any ideas greatly appreciated

Just checking if 1909 needs a new MDT/ADK upgrade.

I currently have the current version for 1809. If I need a new version for 1909 please inform me.

Additionally, since I have a Resume on my VM's pointing to a LiteTouch ISO, will that still work for VM's already existing?

Thanks!

Running MDT 8456, ADK 1903, and Windows PE Add-on 1903

Deploying Windows 10 LTSC 2019

After deploying the image all Junction Points still exist, however, they are begin with D:\

What cause this and how do I fix it?

So i have have been having an issue with deploying edge chromium using MDT.

I am using this command line msiexec /i MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi /qb

but it when it comes to installing to my test VM i get there was "there was an error saying "there is a problem with this windows installer package a program run as part of the setup did not finish"I also get error code 1603 at the end too. 

I have tried this command line outside of my MDT and it installs fine. I am installing to a VM with no internet connection but all other applications so far i have scripted into MDT have worked fine. I am wondering is it having trouble trying to remove the older version of edge??

I have re-ran the Application and created the below log file for you can see. I have edited out some sensitive information with (***). 

I set up a LiteTouch ISO for my VM's to boot to and they have a suspend added.

Initially when making a brand new VM and booting to my LiteLouch ISO so it suspends, then continues on.....what is the Task Sequence you choose?   Is it just a Standard Task Sequence? I tried this on another server and it got to the desktop. When I clicked on Resume, it went right to the final summary screen and actually didn't do anything.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? And btw, how do you look at an existing TS and find out if its a Sysprep & Capture or Standard TS?

Hi,

Our customer would like to have a TS to Install Windows 10 1909 and boot into OOBE so they can run tests to work with AutoPilot.

I tried a couple of things but nothing seems to work.

I have now a standard task sequence which just install Windows 10 as last step i execute the following command

cmd.exe /c C:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /oobe /shutdown

Once the TS is done and runned the sysprep the machine shutdown.

Once i start the VM it starts Windows 10 and execute OOBE which is what we want.

However, once this step is done the desktop apprears and soon the following error appears:

Title: Dirty Enviroment Found

An existing in-progress deployment was found but is not in an expected state.

Once i press no to not start a new one, everything is fine.

What am i missing in the TS to complete the deployment and have a working oobe?

Pre-EOL we had a good process where we would capture missing patches from our Windows 7 reference images and inject them via DISM.  This has let us keep our deployments fairly fresh over the years.

Unfortunately the new ESU updates seem to have put an end to this process.   Trying to inject them, even with the full set of pre-req patches, results in an unattended.xml error.  Has anybody else run into this and does anybody have a good way to manage the ESU patches going forward?

Hello,

After a lot of searches, I've not been able to find out what's wrong.

I'm using MDT (8456) with ADK 1903. I made classic installation and settings. I carried on all my image tests with DHCP without any issue. But when I tried to se a static IP address in WinPE boot, the step just before the Welcome screen, by customizing the Bootsrapt.ini file, I couldn't manage to get it : WinPE remained in DHCP mode (cf. ipconfig /all). I checked the unattend.xml file in the WinPE boot ISO file : it takes well in account the bootstrap.ini IP settings ! Of course, each time I regenerated this ISO with the Deployment Share Update function.

In last resort, I tried with customize.ini with no more success.

I made a new install on another computer : same thing.

If you have any idea on this, I would appreciate. Thank you in advance.

My bootstrp.ini can't be more classical :

Hi All,

I have this strange problem which searches have indicated some people have a similar issue with litetouch but not as much as I seem to.

I running Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 8456 on Server 2016. I have a vanilla build of Windows 10 build 1909.

The issue I have is that some of the scripts in the Deployment Share are disappearing after running litetouch. This is always on the server and it could be litetouch, ztigather, ltiapply or something else.

The NTFS permissions seem normal to me. Administrators with Full, System and Users with read-only.

Litetouch is launched with an administrator account.

Any ideas?

Hey,

im trying to join my computer to domain and am setting my variables like this:

DomainAdmin ="<Username>"

DomainAdminDomain ="<DomainNetbiosname>"

DomainAdminPassword ="<UsernamePassword>"

JoinDomain ="<Domain-FQDN>"

OSDDomainName ="<DomainNetbiosname>"

OSDJoinPassword ="<UsernamePassword>"

OSDJoinAccount ="<DomainNetbiosname>\<Username>"

But the Recover from Domain step fails. The NetSetup.log shows a wrong Domain Netbiosname:

05/04/2020 11:10:01:180 NetpJoinDomain
05/04/2020 11:10:01:180        HostName: SUC1144
05/04/2020 11:10:01:180       NetbiosName: SUC1144
05/04/2020 11:10:01:180        Domain:<Domain-FQDN>
05/04/2020 11:10:01:180       MachineAccountOU: (NULL)
05/04/2020 11:10:01:180       Account:qȬ§MlÓZ_\<Username>
05/04/2020 11:10:01:180      Options: 0x1

I have really no idea where it gets this string :(

Anyone?

Unattend, CS.INI and Bootstrap.

I realize Bootstrap it pretty much what it is, but between the unattend and CS.INI, what takes priority?

I'm attempting in unattend to set Prevent Device Encryption = true in unattend, but then setting it to run
in my CS.INI  (SkipBitlocker=NO). Then I have a pane come up to choose encryption or not.

Seems some new Dells will auto-encrypt regardless of what you choose in the Wizard.

So my main question is, if I set encryption to NO in unattend (per TS), CS.INI overrides that overall to the DS.

Thanks for any info. 

Hey Guys,

Have been using a USB thumb stick to image computers but as time has gone on the files have become huge and now it takes a 40 gig USB drive because of all the drivers for different machine types.

Also when ever anything any updates or changes each tech has to re download the 21 gigs and if something is updated and they do not download then files that they are installing could be out dated.

I looked into WDS but that looked like a lot to setup.  Would it be possible to keep all the MDT files on a network share and then some where in the MDT config tell it to look at the network share for Drivers and operating system.

Is this even possible, trying to figure out what options are available.

I have tried copying only the following folders but got an error after MDT Lite touch loaded about could not find files, which makes sense :)
G:\Media\Content\Deploy\Boot

G:\Media\Content\Boot

Thank you for any help you can provide,

Best regards,

John

Hi,

I have be given a project by my manager to do an in place upgrade  on 15 server running 2012R2 with MDT installed that is used to deploy windows 10 across different company. The server have the following services running WDS, WSUS and VAMT Services, could you please confirm if I can do an inplace upgrade to server 2019.

And if I proceed with this is there any know issues. any input will be good Thanks.
