MDT 2012 Delay Task Sequence

March 12, 2013, 11:54 am

Does anyone know of a working pause command that will stop the task sequence for a specific amount of time? I am running into a problem where I am running an executable that loads a profile, but the profile takes about 80 seconds to fully load. The task sequence doesn't seem to like this and throws and error everytime it tries to move onto the next step while that profile is being loaded in the backround.

I have tried searching for a pause script, and have tried several of them, but I could not get any of them to work. Also the built in suspend command will not work because this task sequence needs to automated and I can not have it pause and resume with user interaction.

The executable loads the Intel Proset package for our Domain.

Any help would be great.

Another "Unattend answer file...license issue"- MDT2012

Hello again, 

I was experiencing an odd issue with my x64 deployment (via MDT2012- update1) where I'm prompted for the License key code for Windows 7, I enter the code directly from the laptop I'm building... then a few days later, I'm re-prompted to input the exact same key. This works, and is just a an extra nuisance step...

So, rather than troubleshoot and fix the above, we elected to use our MAK key (50 licenses, per M$ VLC).  But I think I've hit a snag. The key is currently in both locations below: Unattend.xml

Answer file:  1 WindowsPE.. amd64_Microsoft-Windows-Setup_neutral...product key then under Settings:  WillShowUI = OnError

and: 4 specialize.. amd64_Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup_neutral... Product Key

Could the issue be that I installed a Retail/Boxed DVD version on my server, and now trying to activate it with a MAK volume license key or am I missing an additional area to put the MAK key in?

Be gentle, still a rookie...

MDT 2010 | WORKSTATION 8 | TASK SEQUENCE | SYSPREP & CAPTURE

Bonjour à tous,

Je tenais à avoir des avis d'experts après avoir vu plusieurs configurations sur les blogs et autres forums.

Je vous expose la situation : 

Architecture

- J'ai une VM 2008 R2 avec WDS + MDT 2010 de configuré.
- J'ai chargé mes apps + drivers 
- J'ai activé le monitoring en cas de problème.
- Sur mon MDT 2010, j'ai 2 déployement shares.

L'un pour les salariés, l'autre pour des postes de salles de cours.

Sur le partage salarié, j'ai 3 séquences de tâches :

1 - Client Replace & Capture, pour migrer le poste en Win7, sans perdre les données utilisateurs.
2 - Fresh Installation, pour une nouvelle installation de Win7.
3 - Sysprep & Capture, pour récupérer les données utilisateurs et en faire une image de référence.
Jusqu'ici, j'espère avoir tout intégré ?

Dans tous les cas, les 2ères tâches fonctionnent parfaitement.

La dernière tâche, "Sysprep & Capture" m'indique un message d'erreur indiquant"Failure" dont la 1ère ligne est :

"ERROR- rule Priority key not set in section [Settings]"



Dans les rules de mon Déploiement Share, j'ai :

DriverSelectionProfile=Nothing
SkipTaskSequence=NO
TaskSequenceID=

Pouvez-vous me confirmer, que ce sont bien les paramètres généraux du déploiement, et que pour les séquences de tâches, il faut paramétrer un fichier

"customsettings.ini" ?

Dans la séquence "Sysprep & Capture",

à la section "Capture Image", j'ai précisé "Gather local data and process rules : customsettings.ini"



Dans mon répertoire Control, voilà les paramètres :

Les postes que je cherche à capturer sont en workgroup.

Pouvez-vous m'indiquer si j'ai fait une erreur??

Merci par avance pour votre aide!

MDT 2012 Help with offline deployment

Hi guys, I need a help cause I have been reading a lot but I’m stuck or I'm doing something wrong.

My scenario is:

I have a manually installed laptop, with all the apps, drivers, updates, etc... That I need.

What I want to do is: reseal the machine and capture an image of it, so I can deploy to other computer I have with same hardware.

What I did was:

  • I installed on my work laptop MDT 2012 U1 and WAIK.
  • I created a deployment share, imported OS, created a Task sequence to reseal and capture, then I created a media so I can boot from usb flash and make an offline install.

What happens is when I boot the laptop that I want to capture, I just get booted to windows PE, and there isn't a wizard or anything.

Notes: I want to make this work without network, Windows 8 64Bits, UEFI Laptop

Thanks inadvance.

MDT 2010 - Multicast Slow.

Hi,

I have setup a Win2008R2 Server with MDT2010 Upd1.

Multicats is enabled in properties for the Deployment share and the bootimage is updated and imported into WDS.

Issue arrises when we do the deployment and the task reaches the install operating system. It says attempting multicats, which I think is normal, but the download of the custom image is veeery slow. Image is apprx. 4.7 GB. Download is only happening in chunks of 1-2 MB but with 10-15 secs intervals.

I can see in the WDS console that the Multicast session is established fine but status says waiting. Also the network utilization says only 1% in there. If I right click on the multicast session in WDS and click on Bypass Multicast the installation continues fine and finishes up quickly by running the installation directly deom the deployment share.

I have looked in the LTIApply_wdsmcast.log file, but there is no useable information.

I have the same setup running in a virtual testenvironment, where it runns fine.

Any hints how to troubleshoot this is much appreciated.

Thanks

Thomas

VHDInputVariable and VHDTargetDisk - how to set this value

Does anyone know how to set the "VHDTargetdisk" value. This value is used by the VHDclient task sequence but seems to be stuck on the C drive. I am attempting to create the VHD on a different partition on the same disk but I cannot seem to find a way to set the VHDTargetdisk value. Result is that the TS continues to creat the VHD on the C drive. This is an issue as I want to create a dual boot but do not have enough space on the C partition. The target partition I am looking at is partition 3 with drive letter F.

Anybody have any ideas.

Is there an easier way to inject drives?

I have a basic MDT / WDS setup for my co workers.  I need some non technical people to use my setup for HP machines, but they will need to inject drivers as they get new models.  I'd like my "non technical" folks to not have to go through the process of: Inject Drivers, Update Deployment Share, then replace WDS boot images.  

Is there an easier way to inject drivers and still use MDT as normal and be able to take advantage of these new drivers?

Just wanted to know if this is something that we can rely on and is the recommended way of patching windows 8?

Can anyone pls. suggest what is the recommended way of injecting patches\updates for windows\language packs into the image during build using MDT 2012

Prevent use of MS Access

Hi Deployment guys,

First let me explain how I configured MDT 2012 (with update).

I made a Lab Deployment share, where I put in Windows 7 Enterprise, Office 2010 profesional, Office 2010 proofing tools and drivers. This image I push to a reference system. I made some customizations and than run a sysprep and capture task.

Then I made a Production share and imported the Customized Image. Again I added some drivers and several optional applications. Everythings works as it should.

BUT....

From managment I've got a question. They want to give MS Access only to specific users, instead of to use everyone.

Can anyone tell me what the easiest sollution is to do it? I hope I can do this to by making a GPO to prevent all other users to open Access (but can't find a way how to do this).

- An option to make a new Task Sequence (with or without Access) is not desirable

If things are unclear, I am here to clear some dust....

Why are you unmarking accepted answers, posting similar responses with the same questions others asked, and then immediately marking your post as the "answer"?  This seems an abuse of moderator privs. =/

Sysprep not working after uninstalling program using 'Add/remove program'

March 11, 2013, 3:07 am

Hey everyone.

I'm trying to capture an image of a virtual machine (VMware), where I have a snapshot to a state of the machine, just as I want it, except I want a newer version of a program my company develops installed. The installer for this program doesn't remove older versions, and can't install unless you remove the previous version, using the 'Add/remove programs' tool.

However, as soon as I've deleted the program using the tool, if I try to capture the image, something goes wrong during the sysprepping. Usually when I try to sysprep, the sysprepping takes quite a while (slow comp.), but when this happens, it skips right over it. I will therefore assume, that some steps of the sysprepping isn't performed properly.

The result is, that it seems like it tries to boot up using BOTH the OS and the capturing tool, which results in a crash, which I can't recover from. No error message is shown, it simply shows both booting screens on top of each other, and then crashes to the 'Windows couldn't start properly'-screen (blue with three buttons).

Have anyone had similar problems, or does anyone have any suggestions to what exactly it is, that the 'Add/remove programs' tool changes, which then interferes with the sysprepping?

Thanks to anyone with any helpful advice :)

Win 7x86, MDT 2012, HP COMPAQ PRO 6300 VGA driver Issue with Custom Image

March 13, 2013, 10:02 am

Hello,

Back again..

Having previously used HP 7900, 6000, 6200 without issue, I've now came accross a painful issue with the 6300.

From a fresh OS deployment it works fine.

However when I deploy my custom MDT captured image (no editing of unattend.xml prior to sysprep), driver selection profile set to 'None' the monitor goes to sleep and the PC doesnt boot into either Windows or Safe mode.

When I add Intel Corporation Display igdlh.inf 9.17.10.2932 (or any of the previous drivers) into the selection profile for this PC (this is the ONLY driver in the profile), I get into Windows then get the problem below.

RunDLL, error in igfxdev.dll - Missing entry : uninstalltvwizard - you click OK then it goes away.

Obviously I can remedy this by installing the drivers over the top, but this RunDLL error brings the entire deployment to a standstill until you click OK.

Has anyone came accross this before?

Is it possible to do an offline registry edit prior to to first run of Windows after drivers have been installed?! to remove igfx from startup

Is it possible to enable Bitlocker on task sequence for Custom Server 2008R2 Wim?

I created a custom Server 2008 R2 image, updated, put a folder on C: containing scripts & powershell scripts for certain tasks.

I've created an MDT Task sequence, but when I run it I do not get prompted about Bitlocker.

It appears to be because its a custom wim - has anyone been able to do this or is it not possible?

For the record it still works with the standard 2008R2 operating systems when you import them from CD.

It also works with my custom Windows 7 images.

thanks

testenvironment:

W2k8R2Sp1x64 + AD + DHCP + WDS + MDT2012u1

All works fine if i PXE-boot the "client" and start the wizard with domain-admin credentials.

As i using credentials from dedicated serviceaccount (domainuser with ntfs-wirte-rights on the deploymentshare), i got the acces denied error.

mounting the deploymentshare as mapped network drive using the serviceaccount credentials was successfull.

Wich rights do I need - or is this not possible, because it's on an DC? (no manageable local wds-service-rights?)

please help in this case.
