All application installed successfully accept IE 9 whereas bdd log says IE9 installed successfully

hi i am deploying Win 7 and few applications (Office 2007, IE9, VLC, Klite Codec, Adobe CS6) using MDT 2012. Over the deployment process I have selected all the application including IE9. After the process has been completed I can see Windows 7 along with all the applications has been installed accept IE9, clicking on "All Programs -- Internet Explorer" still shows IE8. BDD.log says "Application Internet Explorer 9 installed successfully".

However I can see IE9 in the Control Panel -- Prog & Features -- Installed Updates.

IE9 application  command is running IE9-Windows7-x86-enu.exe /quiet /norestart /update-no

Deployed OS is Windows 7 with SP1.

Have I missed something here. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

I recently upgraded to MDT 2012. I had an existing working deployment share. After upgrading, when booting to the litetouch iso I get to the "Solution Accelerators" splash screen and it reboots. I created a new deployment share to test and I get the same thing. I've booted to hyper-v and multiple hardware with the same results.  Any suggestions??

Thanks,

MDT 2012: deployed custom Win 7 image but application is not installing

hi
Using MDT 2012 I have captured an image of a reference PC (VM) that has Windows 7 OS with few inhouse application and few control panel settings been configured. In the above Sysprep & Capture task's unattend.xml I have <CopyProfile>true</CopyProfile> in <settings pass="specialize"> and <PersistAllDeviceInstalls>true</PersistAllDeviceInstalls> in <settings pass="generalize">.

My Deployment Workbench has following applications been imported:
Office 2007, Adobe Reader, FileMaker Pro

I have imported the above captured image in the Workbench OS folder.

I have created another Standard Client task selecting above image. In this task sequence I have disabled "Apply Local GPO Package".

Now from another fresh new VM I pxe booted and selected the task created above.
Entered computer name and join workgroup
Selected Do not move user data and settings
Selected Do not restore user data and settings
Selected Applications Office 2007 & Adobe Reader
Selected Do not capture an image of this computer
then Begin

Installing process started....

Running action: Install Operating System
[100%] Applying progress
Applying unattend.xm; with DISM.EXE

then the VM restarted and I got a login screen. When I logon as administrator, Applications (Office & Adobe Reader) were not installed, Computer name was not changed (same as the original reference PC image)

Could someone please advice me what I am missing here.

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

the reason I am using Cusom Image (Win 7 OS + in-house app) is that I cannot deploy our in house application using MDT, it has lots of manual configuration.

Property LTIDirtyOS is now = TRUE and or LTIDirty=TRUE

I have seen a few posts on this but none that seem to apply to my current conundrum so maybe someone can shed some light.  It seems that no matter what I do I always get "Property "LTIDirtyOS is now = TRUE" and or LTIDirty=True. This happens even with a completely clean install of all the tools (MDT 2012, ADK or AIK, and new deployment share.  I have tested with a stock standard task sequence with no mods and a standard Windows 7 Pro 64 bit OS.  It also happens with custom images.  Same thing on either bare metal or VM's.  I have tried deploying or capturing the image several different ways but get the same result.  If i just run a sysprep and capture task sequence and let it run i get the same result. My deployments have never failed.  I have read many posts and it sounds like this happens with either incorrect credentials which is not the case.  It could be an issue with some software installations that are calling for reboots but i am not installing any.  Maybe a HDD with leftover LTI files but these are all clean drives.  I have tried to cover all of my bases before posting this as I don't want to waste anybody's time.  I guess my question is what would cause this in such a basic environment?  Is this cause for concern?  What should I be focusing on to try and resolve this or is it something that I just need to deal with?  I have scoured log files for endless hours and nothing sticks out.  If this has been answered somewhere else already I apologize.....

Win7 + IE10 Slipstream error

I am trying to install a test image with IE10 slipstreamed in and getting an error "Windows could not parse or process unattend answer file [C:\windows\Panther\unattend.xml] for pass [specialize]. A component or setting specified in the answer file does not exist."  I used an original Win7 Ent SP1 image + IE10 and then imported full source as if from original DVD / ISO.  Then created a new sequence and problem still occurs.

I think it is being caused by:

<component name="Microsoft-Windows-IE-InternetExplorer" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <IEWelcomeMsg>false</IEWelcomeMsg>
</component>

Which I am not sure is a setting I set in MDT setup or a default setting?  This setting has been removed from IE10.

Domain multipule GPO Policies merge into singl GPO

Hi,

I have Group policies that are pushed through the Domain GP. I am building a reference image and want to embed these Gpolicies in the reference image. I have challenge that there are multiple Domain GPs applied and how do I put the settings of these GPOs into one GPO? Is it the recommended that i'll go to any of the system that is getting all these policies, take a GP backup using localGP tool (that comed with compliance  manager) and then export the GP using the tool. or is there any easy way using the compliance manger to merge these domain GPO into 1 GPO and then create its pakage that can be used with MDT during reference image building.

In MDT 2012 what is the proper way for pushing domain join to the last step? I am having an issue with a AUP that is enforced for the entire domain. (No way to change that due to idiotic politics) I need to make joining AD the very last thing it does before the final restart.

MDT 2012 Update 1, Windows 8 Pro x64 and Bitlocker

Hi.

We are testing the deployment of the Samsung ATIV Smart Pc Pro, XE700T1C.  It's using the Apple USB to Ethernet adapter.

Updated MDT 2012 with Update 1.  I included the "Set Driver path" as per the link below, due to the Infineon driver being picked up from other laptop deployments.  This causes the Infineon device to appear in the "system devices", not in the "Security Devices", in device manager. Which all work fine withWindows 7 and Bitlocker deployments pre update 1.   Not had any to try since the update.

Can attach link to this post for "Set Driver Path" yet as my account is not verified.

But if you google "mdt 2010 driver management", you will find my steps in scenario 3, total control.

We have two scenarios

Scenario 1

If I import the latest Infineon drivers from the Samsung web site, I get the same symptoms in device manager above.  No Trusted Platform Module 1.2 in security devices.  As expected, when trying to manually turn on Bitlocker, it errors saying no TPM present.

Scenario 2

I remove the Infineon drivers.  Trusted Platform Module 1.2 appears in Security Devices" in device manager.  I'm able to turn on Bitlocker.  But the Task Sequence doe not automate this task.

I noticed the standard Task Sequence for Enable Bitlocker is dimmed and saying (off line).  So I added another "Enable Bitlocker" before the Format and Partition Disk section.  Also in Post install section after restart computer.  Just to try and force it.  To no avail.

Looking at the ZTIbde.log.  The only logs I see is, "deployment is not using ConfigMgr" & "BDE installation not selected"

Hi

I have created a golden image with all my software and accounts, I created a default user profile and made one of the accounts a mandatory profile. Every time i do a sysprep and capture tack sequance using mdt the image is captured, but then i go to deploy it it seems to remove the account settings and either delets the mandatory user account or turns it into a normal none manatory account. Does anyone know what settings i need to change oin the unattend file in my capture task sequance to stop doing this. i dont want sysprep to touch any accout settings that might affect my seccond mandatory account.

I am using WDS (Server 2008) and MDT (2012) and I want to deploy XP SP3 to a Dell Optiplex 7010.

My XP image works fine with older Optiplex models, but I get a NTLDR error with the Optiplex 7010.
After PostInstall and then Restart Computer (from Task Sequence). Then the OS wont boot, I get the ntldr error.

I have tried the drivers on a working Optiplex 7010 with XP. So the drivers shold be ok.

Any ideas?

And I also want to ask, is there anyway to log the progress of the deployment? So that I can see why my
Optiplex 7010 doesn´t boot after the first restart.

Windows 7 install keeps prompting for Time Zone

I'm trying to make my deployment hands free but I've got one more hurdle to conquer; the time zone!  I've added the time zone to both my customsettings.ini and unattend.xml.  I'm using "Central Time (US & Canada)" as the time zone.

Here's my customsettings.ini timezone setting:  TimeZoneName=Central Time (US & Canada)

And I have the timezone settings inputed in both pass 4 and pass 7 in the unattend.xml file.

Invalid XML File warning when > 255 apps in MDT 2012 UDI Designer

March 7, 2013, 11:41 am

I am in the process of designing a UDI OSD deployment.  The client has multiple sites each with their own set of non-core applications which has pushed the number of apps on the "Install Applications" page way past 256.  I'm finding that if I add > 255 applications, I get an XML validation error when saving: 
"Invalid XML File Warning : The identity constraint 'UniqueAppIds' validation has failed.  Either a key is missing or the existing key has an empty node."

Unfortunately, it won't let me save the changes or view the xml it thinks it wants to generate.  

As a test I manually edited the .xml.app file and added a new application as id=256.  the UDI designer threw the same error when the "Install Applications" page is attempted to be loaded.

I have not found any references to there being a 255 limit to the number of applications on technet, or any other technical resources but if that is indeed a confirmed limitation, it would be good to know.

To recreate, simply edit any .xml.app file for a UDI and change one of the id="xxx" to id="256".  It will cause an xml validation error to pop-up when loaded and you doubleclick on "Install Applications".

I have as yet to try changing the ID to 256 and then running an OSD to see if it still functions.  It may just be an issue with the UDI Designer that comes with MDT 2012. If there's a patch or other workaround outside of splitting the pages, it would be good to know.

Getting "Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize]" with IE10 integration? Read this...

March 15, 2013, 6:22 pm

Hey guys,

I just discovered an issue with using MDT to integrate Internet Explorer 10 into Windows 7 & 2008 R2 image files. Building the images was no problem at all, but when I tried to deploy them it would bomb with this error every time:

"Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize]."

So a very annoying and cryptic error to say the least. Obviously the issue was with the unattend.xml file that gets auto-generated by MDT, but all the items under "specialize" had worked just fine when I built the image and the IE version was the only item that had changed. After comparing the Windows 7 & Server 2008 R2 unattend.xml files to my Windows 8 & Server 2012 unattend.xml files (because they have IE 10 native) I discovered that the following flag was missing from the Windows 8 & Server 2012 unattend.xml files:
<IEWelcomeMsg>false</IEWelcomeMsg>

So I simply commented it out like so:



Re-ran my test deployment and viola, 100% successful with zero errors. I was a little embarrassed/annoyed that this took me so long to track down, then I realized others might be struggling with this too so thought I'd share.

Hope my time spent saves someone else some grief!

Capture & Deployment of Windows 8 Pro on Microsoft Surface Pro

Capture & Deployment of Windows 8 Pro on Microsoft Surface Pro

Here is what i have.  I have a MDT/WDS server set up with latest patches and all task sequences configured properly.  I have tested deploying Windows 8 via a Hyper-V virtual machine and am able to deploy the OS without issue.  I have created a basic Windows PE boot disc using online instructions which boots from the Microsoft Surface Pro correctly from USB drive to a WINPE command line.

My situation is this.  The Microsoft Surface Pro does not have an ethernet port or the ability to PXE boot on it's own.  To bypass this i have created a WINPE boot disc that does work and get's to a command prompt.  I have connected a USB hub to be able to plug in both the USB drive and a USB network card.  The WINPE image does detect the network card and I am able to get an IP Address of which i can sucessfully ping the server.

What i need to find out is how can i get my WINPE to launch the MDT gui so i can capture and deploy the OS using the task sequences i have set up.  I usually just use PXE to connect to my LiteTouch images and the wizard goes from there.  I tried copying those files to the generic WINPE disc i made but i'm guessing there is more configuration necessary to get this to work.  Without being able to use PXE i'm hoping that i can use WINPE to boot up while finding the USB nic and have it find the deployment server.  I know there is a way to create a disc that does this but not sure how to go about it. 

The goal start to finish would be to craft a custom image on the Microsoft Surface Pro, capture and deploy it's image using MDT, and have the ability to capture & deploy images from this unit using a USB network card and a USB boot environment.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks - Jsalisbu
