I have a Windows 10 (1709) image setup on a USB from MDT 6.3.8450. Works fantastic on all new and recent machines. However, on SOME older machines, when we boot off the USB, the Windows Deployment Toolkit greyish screen pops up, sits for a few seconds, then reboots. Keeps rebooting over and over.
I did some digging and finally found this old thread - https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/b8b4fd55-1564-4f5e-9c09-3b97121725df/computer-restart-at-splash-screen-when-deploying-image?forum=mdt
So I did an F8 as soon as I got to that screen and I was able to get to a dos prompt. I checked for logs, but not finding anything. So I ran the litetouch.wsf in debug mode as per the above thread. Last few lines of output below, nothing really meaningful above it.
No task sequence is in progress.
Unable to connect to BCDstore.
Not running within WinPE or WinRE.
......
SMS Task Sequencer already found on X:\Deploy\Tools\X64
Copying D:\Deploy\Control\\TS.XML to X:\Deploy\Tools\X64
And the copy fails because the path is messed up - it's missing the task sequence, which I'm not getting a chance to select. So not sure if my troubleshooting is even any good. Does litetouch.wsf/vbs run AFTER selecting a task sequence (I would
think so.) If so, I'm guessing there's something else going on.
Below is my customsettings. Again, this works fine on all new machines, so. . .?
