Because of the release of the final version of the Windows ADK I installed a new (on Windows Server 2012) based Deployment machine yesterday. Installed MDT 2012 Update 1 and the Windows ADK to support deployments of Windows 8.
I imported my old deployment share so i would be up and running quick. After a regenerated my boot images and tried to deploy Windows 7, something strange happened. When Windows 7 was all installd...it asked my for a productkey. Something I never had on my previos MDT installations.
To verify the deployment share isn't 'corrupted' I also created a new deployment share in which I only created a task sequence to deploy Windows, from which I also imported sources again. During this deployment i also was asked for a product key during the deployment.
Finally I started my old deployment server (running Windows Server 2008 R2 with MDT 2012 and WAIK), the deployment worked just fine (not asking me for a product key at all).
So the question is, is there still an issue deploying Windows 7 when you're using Windows ADK? The documentation doesn't tell.....
What could be the problem?
