I have a task sequence with works fine, but when i add a 'Gather' action and point it to a customsettings.ini, it fails.  Durring the task sequence build it fails with a 0x00000001.  My original intention is just to use it for timezone and OU selection.

How do I troubleshoot why it is failing?

Here is the general layout of my customsettings.ini

Hello guys,

I have a problem with WDS and i am not able to fix it. I search a lot via google, and in this forum, but it seems so that noone else got this problem before.

I installed WDS without any problem, also i can boot a machine via network-boot. Then the setup starts, but after formating the disk an error appears:

Litetouch deployment failed, Return Code = -2147467259 0x80004005

Failed to run the action: Set Driver Path.

Incorrect function. (Error: 00000001; Source: Windows)

The execution of the group (Global) has failed and the execution has been aborted. An action failed.

Error Task Sequence Manager failed to execute task sequence. Code 0x80004005

I dont know what "failed to rune the action: set driver path" means. Also i did not find anything in google.

How to auto configure locale settings on factory imaged machines using gateway variable (cs.ini)??

December 3, 2012, 7:55 am

In my organisation we are using gateway dependancy for setting certain locale settings. Every site has it's own specific settings.

For daily deployments this works fine. However, on computers that are pre-installed in the factory (Dell) these settings have to be set afterwards. We use a different task sequence to finish the Post OS deployment. (joining domain etc etc). Preferably no user interaction is required when connecting a factory machine.

QUESTION: Is there a way to auto apply these locale settings in the Post OS task sequence depending on the gateway? Thank you for thinking along...

WIM Images

Hi there.

Can sonmeone please clear something up for me?  I'm still learning so this maybe a little 'rookie' for some.

I have read somewhere that when you capture a WIM image, the HAL is disconnected, so effectively you could put any WIM image on any hardware. Is this true?  If so are thereany limitations?

I help run a business which looks after schools, we have around 36 on our books.   In each school we map out just two images.  A curriculum image, for pupils and teachers, and an admin image (which doesnt contain the curriculum sofware) for the admin/clerical staff.  Up until now I have always built an image on each hardware type, then uploaded an image to the server.  This new information tells me that i'm doing it wrong and I should just build two images for each site, then continually inject drivers to the WIM image as I come accross new hardware.

So lets say I have a curriculum image, with all the school software on.  I then capture this up to the server using MDT2012.  Later, the school buy a new laptop for a new teacher and it is a completely different model to the rest in school.  If I deploy down my curriculum image and there are 3 or 4 drivers missing, I can simply mount the WIM using ImageX and inject the missing drivers, then from that point on I can image the same model laptop with having to chase drivers. 

Have I understood this correct?

Regards JH

Deployed computers not remembering last user logged in?

Alright, I've tried searching for this topic around the forums, so forgive me if someone already asked this, but for some reason, the computers I deploy, when finished, don't ever remember the last person who's logged in after a reboot, or some sort of logoff action

Everything in the script works fine - things complete without error, and the OS deployment is happy.  But after it ends, it never remembers the last logged in user.  Even after joining the domain, and using different accounts, it refuses to remember. I checked to see if various registry keys existed (LastLoggedOnUser, Winlogon key) and they all seem to exist, so I have no idea what the issue is.

Has anyone else come across this problem?

MDT 2012: Which drivers should be injected into LiteTouch PE? What is the best practise?

In MDT 2012, among drivers of Windows 7 32 bit, Windows 7 64 bit and Windows XP, Which drivers should be injected into LiteTouch PE?  

In my opinion,  because LiteTouch PE is of PE 3.0 , and the function of PE is to start computers up, so only Windows 7 32bit and 64bit drivers should be injected into LiteTouchPE. And the best practise is to include only LAN drivers and Mass Storage Drivers, am I right?

If yes, When I want to deploy Windows XP, should drivers of Windows XP be injected into LiteTouch PE?

I am trying to install Adobe through MDT Application install, but it does not seem to be running.  The install flashes and does not do anything.

I am using the below Windows command script:

taskkill /F /IM outlook.exe
msiexec.exe /i "\\p02apixxx01\deploymentshare$\Applications\AdobeReaderX\AdbeRdr1010_en_US.msi" PATCH="\\p02apixxx01\deploymentshare$\Applications\AdobeReaderX\AdbeRdrUpd1011.msp" Transforms="\\p02apixxx01\deploymentshare$\Applications\AdobeReaderX\AdbeRdr1010_en_US.mst" /qb! /L*v "C:\temp\adberdr.log"

 

This is a standard application install.  I have the working directory set to .\Applications\Adobe Reader X.  I have the quiet install command set to the command file install_ReaderX.cmd.

MDT 2012 HideShell causing .NET problems

December 4, 2012, 8:47 am

I was hoping someone could shed some light on a problem we are having when using the HIDESHELL feature in MDT2012. When we set HIDESHELL = YES, when the task sequence completes and the OS is logged in, there seems to be a delay in the shell or explorer.exe or something being ready to work. The issue we are having is that if we launch a .NET 3.5 executable immediately after the initial completion, we get very strange errors that seem like corruption. However, if we let it sit at the desktop for a minute or two then launch the .NET 3.5 executable, everything works as expected.

What exactly is HIDESHELL doing exactly? Is there a process or service we can watch for to ensure that the shell is fully loaded before trying to run the executable? Has anyone else experienced problems with HIDESHELL and running post-task sequence operations?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Problem about using ADK 8 to deploy Windows 7

I have an HP Compaq 6530b laptop, and its NIC is Broadcom (VEN_14e4&DEV_1693&SUBSYS_30DD103c).

Now, I want to deploy Windows 7 to it, and I am using  PE 4.0 (ADK 8). But the drivers of this device only support to Window 7.

I attemp to inject Win 7 driver into the LiteTouch PE (PE4.0) and it doesnot work.

I know if I change the PE to 3.0 (WAIK for Windows 7 SP1)， I won't be able to deploy Windows 8 to other PCs in my enterprise.

What should I do then?

Windows 8 activation through MDT

I haven't had a chance to test very much but from what I have read,  you should be able to install a retail copy of Win 8 on an OEM machine and it will pick up the key stored in the BIOS automatically.  I'm trying to deploy Windows 8 to an OEM PC and it is not picking up any product key at all.

Am I reading this wrong?  

For a comparison,  we used to deploy a thick image to our Lenovo laptops and use the COA key (post install) to activate Windows.  Obviously this is not possible with Windows 8 as the COA sticker is not provided.

EDIT:: Installing with the DVD works and seems to pick up the OEM product key,  but deploying the same DVD with MDT 2012 U1 doesn't.  Anyone have any advice on this please?

MDT 2010 - Trouble with deploy custome Windows 7 image

December 4, 2012, 6:52 am

Hello,

Sorry, but I am very new to MDT.  I am having trouble with a basic custom Windows 7 image deployment using MDT 2010 Update 1.  Any help would be appreciated.  We are not allowed to upgrade to MDT 2012 at this time.

I created a new reference computer with Windows 7, Office 2010 and all available patches.  I ran Sysprep, reboot to desktop, shutdown and then used ImageX (bootable CD) to create the image WIM file,  I cannot use MDT Capture because it fails with"The transaction does not have a superior enlistment.  (Error:  00001A4A; Source:  Windows)".  ImageX seems to work fine though to create a WIM file, which I then rename install.WIM and replace in my Windows 7 source files (in the windows\sources directory) to build my MDT deployment OS.

When I deploy to a new computer, I fill out the wizard on the new computer.  The OS image step deploys and the computer reboots.  It then says "Bad Password" so I manually log in using the same password that I put in the wizard.  At the desktop, the Sysprep box opens automatically so I set it to 'quit' and close it, then reboot.  The image deployment then continues, and is able to log in from this point on (no more bad password message).  When it is done, the computer has a random WINNT-xxxxx style name (not the name I put in the wizard), but it is joined to the domain correctly and there are left over files on the C: drive (MINNT, and two other Windows type folders which include the Panther sub directory and the unattended.xml file, among other temporary files).

Does anyone know why the Sysprep box comes up during the deployment?  And why are some of the wizard settings not applied (computer name, password, etc)?  I don't want to put a computer name in the cs.ini, since I plan to deploy about 40 workstations once I figure this out.

Everything is standard/custom I believe, and I have not modified the basic Task sequence, so I am not sure why I am having these issues.  I've tried to search for the Sysprep box popup and the computer name issue, but I cannot find anything that applies in this case (I don't want to hard code a computer name in cs).

Thanks for any help!

MDT and Office 2010 64 bit will not deploy automatically.

Morning,

Rookie struggling to understand what I'm doing wrong. Can you help?

In the Deployment Workbench (V6.00), under Applications, I added MS Office 2010 64 bit. I want it to automatically install while the image is being built with no interaction from me, but every time I choose the app, it stops at the config page and asks to proceed manually. It will install so I know the files are there and good, but simply won't go automatically.

I've used the Office Products tab 2 different ways so far, each with the identical results. I've tried <Let Office Decide> and <Standard>. Again same result. I'm now on STD, and I'm pointing to a MSP file I created. (( setup.exe /adminfile Updates\Office2k10-64bit.msp ))  Is my syntax right for /adminfile? What does this do/invoke exactly?

I'm sorry if I'm vague here but I'm trying....

Unable to create WebService class

I am getting  2 errors and yellow window at the end of a sysprep and capture ts that says "Unable to create WebService class".  I have googled the error and there doesn't seem to be any info on it.  I didn't look at the log files before reimaging the machine but I'm wondering if it's possible to read the log files while the machine is capturing?

I followed the instructions here http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/tallpaul/archive/2011/04/04/troubleshooting_2D00_mdt_2D00_with_2D00_trace32.aspx to create an %DEPLOYTOOT%\Extras\ directory, put trace32.exe in there, added the directory to the WinPE image and now I can see trace32.exe at the root of x:\ while the machine is capturing but I cannot run trace32, it says "The subsystem needed to support the image type is not present"

Am I missing something obvious here?

Ok, I just finished capturing from this machine again, I got 2 the "Unable to create WebService class" errors and yellow dialog again.  I should also add that I followed the troubleshooting steps at http://blogs.technet.com/b/mniehaus/archive/2012/05/10/troubleshooting-mdt-2012-monitoring.aspx to verify monitoring is working on the server and it seems to be.

Hello,

I have read trough every post I could find about the Task Sequence Error but still nothing has fixed my problem. At first I was able tot sysrep but when I wanted to boot my testlaptop with the LiteTouch file I had an error "Windows could not complete the installation. To install windows on this computer, restart the installation. After a few days of figuring out this problem, I ended up not being able to fix it.

So I deleted my DeploymentShares and reinstalled Deployment Toolkit. I did everything the same but now when I was trying to sysrep typing in the "cscript \\windeploy02\DeploymentShare$\Scripts\LiteTouch.vbs" I got this error before the laptop even tried to reboot to start the LiteTouch. Here is the error:

ZTI Error - unhandled error returned by LTIapply (0x80070070)

LiteTouch Deployment Failed

Failed to run the last action: apply Windows PE. Execution of Task Sequence failed.

There is not enough space on the disk.

Task Sequence Engine failed! Code: enExecutionFail.

Task sequence execution failed with error code 80004005

Error Task Sequence Manager failed to execute task sequence. Code 0x80004005

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm feeling I'm running out of options.

Uninstall ADK then install AIK,

And I completely regenerate the Lite Touch PE.  The progress snapshot are shown below:

It said : D:\Deplymentshare\Operating System\Windows 7 x86\Source\boot.wim will be used.

Does it mean C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\x86\winpe.wim has not been recogonized by MDT?
