Hi,
I'm trying to set up a pretty basic configuration for a MDT deployment. The main goal is to have the computer name taken from the SQL database, so that the names are reused instead of half-randomized.
Here's my configuration.ini
[Settings] Priority=CSettings, ByLaptop, ByDesktop, Default Properties=ComputerType, MyCustomProperty [ByLaptop] SubSection=Laptop-%IsLaptop% ComputerType=NTB [ByDesktop] SubSection=Desktop-%IsDesktop% ComputerType=DST [Default] ;Set computer name OSDComputerName=%ComputerType%-#left(replace("%Make%"," ",""),4)#-#left(replace("%SerialNumber%","-",""),6)# OSInstall=Y SkipAdminPassword=YES SkipApplications=YES SkipAppsOnUpgrade=YES SkipBDDWelcome=YES SkipBitLocker=YES BDEInstallSuppress=NO BDEWaitForEncryption=False BDEDriveLetter=S: BDEDriveSize=2000 BDEInstall=TPM BDERecoveryKey=AD BDEKeyLocation= SkipCapture=YES SkipComputerName=NO SkipComputerBackup=YES SkipDeploymentType=YES DeploymentType=NEWCOMPUTER SkipDomainMembership=YES JoinDomain=ARP.LOCAL DomainAdmin=administrator DomainAdminDomain=ARP.LOCAL SkipFinalSummary=YES SkipLocaleSelection=YES KeyboardLocale=pl-PL UserLocale=pl-PL SkipPackageDisplay=YES SkipProductKey=YES SkipSummary=NO SkipTaskSequence=NO ;TaskSequenceID=WIN10ENT-001 SkipTimeZone=YES TimeZoneName=Central European Standard Time SkipUserData=YES MachineObjectOU=OU=CLT,OU=Comps,OU=ARP,DC=arp,DC=local EventService=http://SRV-SVC-P01.arp.local:9800 FinishAction=REBOOT SLShare=\\srv-svc-p01.arp.local\DeploymentLogs$ ;SLShareDynamicLogging=\\srv-svc-p01.arp.local\DeploymentLogs$\%OSDComputername% [CSettings] SQLServer=srv-sql-p05.arp.local Instance=instance01 Database=MDT Netlib=DBNMPNTW SQLShare=\\srv-svc-p01.arp.local\SQLLogs$ Table=ComputerSettings Parameters=UUID, AssetTag, SerialNumber, MacAddress ParameterCondition=OR
I feel like I can share the internal DNS names without risk, so nothing in the file above has been modified. All the shares are accessible (i.e. I can type in the shares from another computer into Explorer and have the relevant folder come up). I've also set up all the log-based shares so that "Everyone" has write permissions.
However, two things are happening:
1) despite setting up the SLShare, no files are ever created in the folder
2) despite setting up and configuring the SQL connection, the WindowsPE gets slightly "stuck" on the CSettings stage and the computer name isn't downloaded from the SQL. Since I have no logs, I cannot say if there's a connection issue or if this is a configuration issue. Named Pipes are turned on and the MDT console has no problems working on the SQL database.
Finally - yes, I've commented out the SLShareDynamicLogging - I first want to get the basic logs working before I go for the more detailed.
Could someone point me in the right direction please?
