Hi,
I'm setting up a new MDT 2012 Update 1 environment. I created a few sample task sequences and generated boot media. When I boot to it, start a new deployment, and enter credentials for connecting to the deployment server, the wizard fails out (but there is no on screen indication - I'm left staring at a blank WinPE screen). It used to be that sometimes after rebooting things would just start to work, but today it seems to be failing 100% of the time
Looking at the logs, apparently CustomSettings.ini can't be found in any standard locations. My deployment share is on \\server\mdt\Dev. I see drive Z: mapped to \\server\mdt, and drive Y: mapped to \\server\mdt\Dev. Both Y:\Control and Y:\Scripts contain my customsettings.ini file. In my bootstrap.ini file, DepoloyRoot is set to \\server\mdt\Dev.
I'm beginning to suspect the problem is that my deployment share is on a storage filer rather that a share directly off the server, although I have done this in the past and not had so much trouble.
Any advice? Happy to post logfiles or settings. Here's all the tweaks I've made: Enable friendly names in the DomainOU listings, automatically copy boot images WDS when updated, use WinPE4 with PowerShell 3
Thank you!
