Background
- I just upgraded from MDT 2010 update 1 to 2012 update 1.
- I am deploying Windows 7 Professional w/SP1 x64 Edition.
- The WinPE x64 .ISO created by MDT 2012 update 1 is used to launch the task sequence.
- I do not join the domain using MDT. The computer is placed in a workgroup and manually added to the domain later.
Problem
When I execute a [previously working] task sequence, the "Set Network Location" dialog box appears after first logon and defaults to the public network. I verified that the unattend.xml contains the proper <NetworkLocation>Work</NetworkLocation> section.
It acts similar to MSKB #2028749, but that hotfix is included in SP1.
This behavoir is new and didn't occur in MDT 2010u1.
Attempted Resolutions
- I imported the above hotfix (just in case), and it had no effect - as expected.
- I know there are important changes to the task sequence templates in MDT 2012, so I created a brand new task sequence to install Windows 7.
- The new task sequence did not fix the problem, and I poured over the settings to be sure they were right.
My customsettings.ini:
[Settings] Priority=Default [Default] OSInstall=Y SkipAppsOnUpgrade=YES SkipApplications=YES SkipAdminPassword=YES SkipProductKey=YES SkipUserData=YES UserDataLocation=NONE SkipDomainMembership=YES JoinWorkgroup = STDSYS-DEPLOY SkipCapture=YES ComputerBackupLocation=NONE SkipLocaleSelection=YES UserLocale=en-US KeyboardLocale=en-US UILanguage=en-US SkipTimeZone=YES TimeZone=035 TimeZoneName=Eastern Standard Time
Please help!
