Hello everyone,
I have successfully configured a new MDT 2012 environment from Release-To-Web versions of MDT. (Clean environment, no remnants of MDT 2010, etc.)
1 - I have copied the DaRT 7.0 Tools.cab file from both an x86 and x64 installation of Windows 7 Enterprise from the tutorial posted here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/mniehaus/archive/2011/11/28/mdt-2012-new-feature-dart-integration.aspx
I enabled DaRT, updated my boot WIMs, and tried PXE booting to my deployment share. I connect to my deployment share with no issues.
I then open the DaRT toolset from the intro menu.
Problem: The Standalone System Sweeper fails to run. Clicking on it displays "The tool failed to run. Try choosing another tool." The only option is to click OK and takes you back to the main DaRT menu selection.
Tests I have performed so far: For kicks and giggles, I have also rebuilt the boot WIMs with all of the contents from (Admin PC's hard drive) C:\Program Files\Microsoft DaRT 7\v7\ folder into the X:\DeploymentShare\Tools\(x64 or x86)\ . I thought "Sweeper.cab" might do it, but no success.
Also, I know DaRT is partially working. Remote Connection starts automatically when the PC is booted to WinPE. I also know my DaRT media is not corrupted because I was able to generate a DaRT.iso image on my admin PC, extract the .WIM from the ISO and PXE boot that with NO issues. (Everything in that DaRT media works without issues, which leads me to believe it is something in MDT 2012.)
FYI, if it helps any, the "Version.txt" file from the DaRT 7.0 installation says: 7.0.291.0
I have my scratch space on my WinPE media set to "128"
My WAIK version is 7.1 (7.0 with SP1 Supplement)
Also to the MDT 2012 team: Thanks, this version is much more polished out-of-box versus the 2010 initial release. I don't have to use extra scripts to clean up the "dirty" environment at the end of a Task Sequence anymore (it just works now), and I don't get the odd partitioning scheme that 2010 used (BitLocker reasons). So, thumbs up!!!
Thanks,
