MDT 2013 Windows 8.1 Task sequence Stops After first Reboot. login

Hi There,
The issue I am having is that After the OS gets laid down, and the Windows 8.1 computer reboots, The task sequence does not continue. It fails everytime. There are not any obvious errors that happen in the process that I can see in the logs. But I have
customized this process quite a bit and I could use some help. We are deploying potentionally to over 30,000 computers.
The test machine I have been using is the Surface pro 2.
The interesting part is after a failure is if I start the process over again , boots into PE, then run diskpart manually from command prompt to Clean Disk 0, and then reboot and start the MDT task sequence, it will deploy fine.
I also have a custom step that copies the TS media from the stick to a Recovery partition I create. The user can launch a -re-image or MDT refresh from an Icon/script, which will unhide this "recovery partition", and kick off a lite touch refresh.
This works succesfully everytime. We have remote locations with very slow links, so MDT over the network or MDT integrated with SCCM is not an option at this time. So this is the solution.
I am attempting to use MDT 2013 to deploy Windows 8.1 Offline, and using GPT partitions.
I am using a custom Format and partiition Step, that call the CustomDiskpart.txt script from %deployroot%\Scripts.
I am also using a Split image, as multi partitioned EFI/NTFS USB sticks are not a possibility for us , also, the USB sticks capable of this are seen by MDT as a "fixed drive" anyways. Which can cause issues in itself. So the LTIAPPLY.wsf has
been edited to search and apply ther split .swm files. This works well.
After the Task sequence failure I have tried launching the Litetouch scripts from the C:\MINNINT folder manually to continue the sequence, but it doesnt do anything.
I don't want to always be running Diskpart manually before imaging a new OEM computer. I needa second pair of eyes on this.
Thank You in advance!

Hi,
Thanks Again for taking a look.
I checked the sysprep log in the image and they look fine. No errors.
As requested here are some logs. Let me know if I can provide anything else.
BDD.log
litetouch.log
SMSTS.log
Im not actually attempting to provide a recovery image. What I am doing is leveraging MDT to refresh the computer remotely. We can update the MDT media on the hidden data partition,when required and kick it off remotely. Some of the computers are very
remote, and without SCCM DP's, plus a combination of slow links and a lack of deskside techs made this a requirement. This works without incident.
The only issue I have is on a new computer if I run the sequence (offline USB media) it will fail the first time, unless I run a diskpart clean in PE first.. Then it will succeed. Refreshing the computer is fine.

MDT 2013 - Install Application in Task Sequence Stuck

I am running an application installation within my task sequence during my deployment. One of the applications prompts a user response to click yes to continue. Otherwise the task is stuck at that step. It appears to be stuck during my Java 7U51
installation running this command. It works on several machines but I get this once in a while on a few workstations when trying to deploy. any ideas?

MDT 2013: Wizard Pages by Task Sequence

Hi,
I believe what I am trying to do is not possible from previous readings on this forum, BUT then I see something in my MDT 2013 OSD wizard that seems to indicate there might be a way to get it done. So here goes.
For my own demos, I am trying to develop a deployment share that is much like Johan Arwidmark's hydration kit. Some machines, like a domain controller or a SQL cluster are all well-defined: computer names, IP addresses, etc. are fixed and can be set
in customsettings.ini or in the Task Sequence with variables. However, I would also like the ability to have to deploy a "generic" machine where I can select roles, applications, etc.
This would require having different wizard pages shown for different task sequences. From what I've read, this may not be possible without developing a custom wizard (and that might be too much effort). However, I currently have two task sequences and depending
on which one I select, I see a different number of steps to complete? See screenshots. I don't know what I have currently configured that makes it like that.
(when I select "Domain Controller 01" task sequence) (Task sequence ID "DC01")
(when I select the "generic" task sequence)
Below is my customsettings.ini [the only rules file I have].
[Settings]
Priority=TaskSequence,Default
[Default]
_SMSTSORGNAME=Demo Deployment
OSInstall=Y
SkipCapture=YES
SkipAdminPassword=YES
AdminPassword=P@ssw0rd!
SkipProductKey=YES
SkipComputerBackup=YES
SkipBitLocker=YES
EventService=http://192.168.232.1:9800
SkipUserData=YES
SkipTaskSequence=NO
SkipTimeZone=YES
SkipBitLocker=YES
SkipSummary=YES
SkipFinalSummary=NO
FinishAction=SHUTDOWN
SkipLocaleSelection=YES
HideShell=YES
[DC01]
_SMSTSORGNAME=DC01 Deployment
SkipComputerName=YES
OSDComputerName=DC01
SkipDomainMembership=YES
JoinWorkgroup=DEMO
SkipRoles=YES
I would expect the settings for task sequence "DC01" to be applied after I select that task sequence in the wizard. That doesn't seem to work. The first task in the sequence is a "Gather" task that gathers local data and processes customsettings.ini.
I understand I can't override most settings from [Default] because they would have already been processed but as you can see, that's not what I am actually trying.
I am not opposed to having multiple rules files if that would work. However, it seems like that doesn't make much difference when it comes to actually seeing different wizard steps active. I've tried adding a second customsettings_dc01.ini file and having
a Gather step that specifically references that file in the "Initialize" group.
I've considered some alternatives to making it work this way, such as having multiple deployment shares and "linking" them (although I haven't done this before) so I wouldn't have to copy all the applications.
I would also set the computer name and all in the task sequence using variables, but that still doesn't address the problem.
Any insight is appreciated,
SA.

SpeedBird186 - There are several assumptions going on here.
1. by default MDT processes the CS.ini file *before* the wizard, and *after* the Task sequence has started. If you want CS.ini file to be processed just *after* you select your TS in the wizard, use Johan's trick above.
2. There are about 20 different wizard pages, and they don't appear in *all* scenarios. the wizard framework will attempt to do an intelligent job of filtering out pages that are not relevant to the scenario at hand. For example, in the graphic above, you
can see that the OS roles and Features page will appear/disappear. This can happen for example if the task sequence you selected earlier does or does *not* have a "OS Roles and Featrues" step in the Task sequence.
3. For me, the easiest way to process roles would be to create some new "Applications" and to put them in a folder.

MDT 2013 - Different settings per task sequence

Hi,
I'm trying to create different settings for different TaskSequenceIDs. For one TS I wanted to join the pc to a workgroup and do SkipApplications=YES and for the other TS I wanted to join a domain and do SkipApplications=NO. But I can't get it to work for
some strange reason.
I've tried and tested this solution https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Different-settings-per-4faa55e9#content but it doesn't work.
I tried this too : http://www.the-d-spot.org/wordpress/2012/07/20/how-to-use-different-settings-per-task-sequence-with-mdt-2012/ but it doesn't work.
Perhaps MDT 2013 acts different then 2012 and 2010???? It would be nice if you could help me out on this one. :-)
Paul

@fapw, we use the database for a few years now and we're quite familiar with it. But we're going to install MDT for a client and they don't have SQL and they don't want to have it installed on one of their servers. So that's why I'm playing with the customsettings.ini.
The first I made was for a plain and simple capture, then I added Make&Model and I'm making it more and more complex. The idea is to have a final customsettings.ini that imitates - or gets as close as possible to - what we have already accomplished with
the database.
In the meantime I've read that the skip-panels-stuff is something that stands above everything and thus it's not possible to control that using properties, like f.ex. MACaddress. Well, that's alright then.
But I've got GOOD news for you all : selecting values for variables based on TaskSequenceID DOES WORK in MDT 2013 and ADK 8.1. This is what I did :
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Different-settings-per-4faa55e9#content
So I've downloaded the vbs, created an "external" tasksequenceid.ini which is read at the beginning of my Task Sequence and booted up the pc. When you select the tasksequence of your choice the parameters get filled in correctly ! OSDComputername
was the variable that I used to show me if the other tasksequenceid.ini file was read or not. If yes, the computername would have to be my value, if not it would be MININT-randomnumber.
Only downside of this fantastic wizard is that going back to change one of your options is not possible anymore. The moment a variable has a value, it doesn't change anymore! That particular behaviour was messing up my tests yesterday.

Build and capture task sequence stops after apply windows updates

Hi
SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4. Deploying Windows 7 SP1.
Pulling my hair out over this one. I successfully performed a build and capture installing some applications. When I choose to install Windows updates, the updates install, the system reboots then doesn't continue. Applications don't install, image isn't captured.
I've tired using the default B&C TS and receive the same results. I've amended the TS to as follows, as suggested in a technet forum post: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a535e509-fc6a-483c-bf24-7e2aa064e5b7/deploying-100-of-available-software-updates-during-a-task-sequence?forum=configmanagerosd
Looking at smsts.log there's errors relating to not accepting the license agreement, but I didn't think this would stop the TS.
Can someone point out why the deployment stops?
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23479177/smsts-20141113-182413.log
Cheers

This is very common scenario you´re having! :)
For OSD and for Capture I always create myown Software Update Group, which lets me totally control, what updates goes to the image and which doesn´t. I then edit membership of update and tag or un-tag update to the group.
I suggest you do the following:
1. Create manual Computer record and add it to OSD Capture collection.
2. Create SUG for OSD Capture and un-tag updates which are listed in KB2894518. But that might not be enough.
3. Deploy TS to the OSD Capture collection.
4. Create/modify virtual machine with MAC matching the computer record.
5. Run PXE and hook Capture TS.

Task sequence fails after upgrading to 2012 R2 and MDT 2013

After upgrading to 2012 R2, my task sequence fails after the Setup Windows and ConfigMGR & Restart Computer. Instead of continuing to run the task sequence and load up the MDT Toolkit Package, it just stops at the Windows 7 login screen.
Do I need to create new toolkit & settings packages with MDT 2013 settings? Or do I just need to create a new task sequence?
I can't figure out what log to look at on the VM that I am imaging. If someone can point it out maybe there's some useful information. Thanks.
My task sequence

It sounds a lot like that it could be failing at the client installation. Please take a look at the client installation logs.
My Blog: http://www.petervanderwoude.nl/
Follow me on twitter: pvanderwoude
Here are the log files from c:\windows\ccmsetup\logs .. I took a glance and things run with success 0 which should mean no error right? The system also has the client installed with the CU2 patch.

Searched a bit online and people are saying it's due to the incorrect boot image. I was using a WinPE 5.0 I created on this TS but I'm going to make another and see where it goes.
This was the solution.

MDT 2013 Windows 8.1 application install with reboot problem

Hello!
I have a problem with an application install on Windows 8.1. I'm trying to install two applications and have activated "Reboot the computer after installting this application" for the first application. After rebooting the deployment window does
not show up agagin. BDD.log shows, that the deployment starts after the reboot but seems to hang, before the UI shows.
I tried to install this two applications under Windows 7, which works without any problems.
Here is the BDD.log for the failed deployment: http://pastebin.com/PbUH1LUq
Can anyone confirm this problem with MDT 2013 and Windows 8.1? Any ideas how to fix this?
Additional information: Further testing showed, that this problem just occurs, if the application install gets started separately after deploying the OS. If the applications are installed in one deployment together with the OS, everything works fine.

I did the same install on Windows 7, which worked without any problems. Here is the log file: http://pastebin.com/Qgn2PzyC
To make it clear:
If I run a Lite Touch Install task sequence to install Windows 8.1 and install the two applications within this LTI, everything works fine. The computer reboots after installing the first application and the deployment goes on and finishes successfully after
the reboot.
If I first install Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 via LTI and then (after LTI successfully finished) start a separate application install (using a custom task sequence with only one "Install Application" task in it), everything works fine with Windows
7 (installation continues and finishes after the reboot) but fails with Windows 8.1.
In Windows 8.1 the computer reboots after installing the first application, but after rebooting, the installation does not start again.
Keith, as you said, my environment is corrupted, I created an new fresh deployment share, just added the two test applications and the custom task sequence and tried again. Same result, Windows 7 works fine, Windows 8.1 fails by not starting the installation
after the reboot.

Windows 8.1 Task Sequence is picking the wrong USB drivers

I have a Windows 8.1 task sequence that hasn't had any driver issues on all the other desktops I've tested. Except the HP Compaq 6000 Pro. None of the USB drivers are working correctly unless I select Update Driver Software -> Browse my computer for
driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer then a list of 4 driver options appear. I can select any of them and they all work. I can't seem to figure out how to get it to select of those drivers by default. I've tried building
a driver package and also a capture with the correct drivers selected. Neither have worked. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,
Please have a look on the following thread. It might give you some hints.
"use

Task sequence fails to resume after first reboot - Post Installation Task Sequence

Hi everyone,
I am unable to deploy a Post Installation Task Sequence whenever I add an application to the "custom tasks" folder in the task sequence. If I create a blank Post Installation Task Sequence w/o making any changes, it deploys fine and gives
me a summary page w/ no errors. Just to be clear, Litetouch runs fine when I kick off "cscript litetouch.vbs" from an elevated cmd prompt when logged in as administrator, but after reboot it boots to windows and does nothing.
I know it's not deploying because it's leaving around a mapped drive to the share, a SMSTaskSequence folder and MININT folder on the target machine. My understanding is that those are supposed to get cleaned up by LTIcleanup.wsf at the end of the
task sequence.
The BDD.log doesn't seem to be of much use. The last line of the log says "sms task sequencer already found on c:\minint\tools\x64" and then it does nothing.
FWIW, I'm able to deploy using the standard task sequence and also able to sysprep and capture. The application that I am trying to install is just a batch file that adds the reg key to hide the start menu, then reboot. I am not rebooting in the script,
I'm telling the application to do the reboot in MDT.
I know to a certainty that the target machine (a VM) has been sysprepped and am able to establish a connection to the deployment share so I'm kind of at a loss. Also looked over Keith's FAQ on the subject and couldn't find any similarities to my issue.
Any help is appreciated. I can provide logs if necessary. Thanks!

Well, I created a fresh deploymentshare on a fresh windows server 2012 VM and am still having the same problem. If I create a blank Post OS Installation Task and make no changes, it deploys fine to the target vm (win8.1). If I have an app (chrome)
that I have set to reboot after installation, it always (tested this 30+times) fails to resume the task sequence. I get no final confirmation page and a big mess that I clean up with LTIcleanup.wsf.
The deployment share has full (everyone) permissions to the share and I have full perms set to domain admin group for ntfs. It seems like something goes wrong with the reboot cycle, but autologin seems to work fine with the admin pw so I'm really confused.
Like I said, the bdd.log in c:\windows\temp\deploymentshare doesn't have any errors. I've tested this both on joined and unjoined (workgroup) machines and it makes no difference.
I should note that I can deploy Chrome and other apps sequentially as long as reboots are not involved. So far, I've only had this problem if the reboot occurs with the first application. Haven't yet tested on reboots w/ other apps in the sequence.
FWIW, this is starting to look like this:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/2db5f184-8332-4f63-b1ad-385a6d893f8c/mdt-2013-windows-81-application-install-with-reboot-problem?forum=mdt
Can someone tell me why this might be happening? Is this a bug with this task sequence? Would someone mind testing this to see if there's just something wrong in my environment?
I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

How to stop after first loop operation over?

Hi friends.
How to stop after first loop operation over?
I have a loop operation in module pool program.
After first loop over I want to stop.
I used the STOP keyword, but it is going to dump.
Thanking you.
Regards,
Subash

Hey,
The statement STOP is forbidden in methods and, since release 6.10, leads to an uncatchable expection during the processing of screens called with CALL SCREEN...
As they said above, use a EXIT statement to fix this DUMP...

MDT 2013 Windows 8.1 Deployment Starts Prompting For Administrator Login In Middle Of Task Sequence

I have a 8.1 deployment task sequence that automatically logs into the administrator account until about half way through the deployment.
It actually looks like it logs in for a second and then dumps back out to the login prompt.
After this reboot, the problem starts. When I log in manually, I see it is at the installing the Java application step. What could cause this?

Yes, it's possible that the scripts to boot to desktop or the script to remove apps are causing this, but other people use these settings in deployments and didn't mention this as a side effect.
This reg file is supposed to set the Start Menu background to match the desktop wallpaper and set IE to use desktop version, but does not seem to work.

I have used this udi wizard in other task sequences before. any ideas on where to look?

Office 2013: Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working

Hi,
I have problems with adding additional e-mail address to my Outlook. When I open the Mail Control Panel Item, go to my Exchange Profile and add a new e-mail address I get a popup indicating that the Windows host process (Rundll32) has stopped working.
The only way of adding extra e-mail addresses is to remove my entire Outlook Profile. In the initial wizard I can add all Exchange mailboxes that I need (I have 3). After I've configured my Outlook profile I always receive the Rundll32 error. When I try
to create a second Outlook profile I still get the same error.
I've tried the following:
- Repair OST file
- Repair Office -> Control Panel and Online Repair
- Reinstall Office
- Reinstall my entire PC
It doesn't matter which e-mail address I add in the initial Outlook configuration wizard. I always receive the error when I try to add a new mailbox, even when I add a mailbox that does not exist (e.g. [email protected]).
Even after reinstalling my PC I still get the same error. I'm using Windows 8.1 (x64) and Office 2013 (32-bit) on a Lenovo W540. None of my colleagues have this issue. It's a domain joined PC and we are not using Roaming Profiles.
For troubleshooting I also created a local account on my laptop but I get the same issues with this account.

Hi,
I'm also using Office 2013 32-bit and Windows 8.1 64-bit on my computer but doesn't get this issue. As you mentioned you reinstalled your PC, the first thing I suggest is to make sure your Windows and Office have been up to date.
The second thing is to make sure you are using the system with an administrator account, this ensures you the enough permission.
There is a possibility that some 3rd-party programs are interfering with "Mail", we can try to perform a clean boot to determine whether background programs are interfering with this:
1.Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click
Search.
2.Type msconfig in the search box, and then tap or click
msconfig.
3.On the Services tab of the System Configuration
dialog box, tap or click to select the Hide all Microsoft services
check box, and then tap or click Disable all.
4.On the Startup tab of the System Configuration
dialog box, tap or click Open Task Manager.
5.On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then click
Disable.
6.Close Task Manager.
7.On the Startup tab of the System Configuration
dialog box, tap or click OK, and then restart the computer.
If in clean boot the issue doesn't exist, the issue was probably caused by the 3rd-party programs. For further information to troubleshoot, you can refer to this kb below:

Windows 8.1 Task Sequence and Assigned Access

Hi all,
I have to build a few hundred kiosk machines with Windows 8.1, a custom LoB appx app, and assigned access. I am attempting to do it using SCCM OSD, but I have a couple of problems.
Appx applications cannot be installed during a task sequence, so is pre-provisioning via dism on the command line the answer?
It seems that assigned access can only be set up for local accounts (from an admin account) after the
local account has logged in at least once. How would this work as part of a task sequence?
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks,
Simonie.

MDT 2013 - Windows 2012 R2 - Need Assistance !!

I have my original question posted here . Below
are my few questions.
i) Do i need to have MDT installed on another server ? I basically want to take entire image of ServerA (including application,settings,regkeys etc) ,create .iso and deploy on other servers.
ii) I have MDT installed on ServerA (same server of which i want to take an image), i followed instructions from "Quick Start Guide for Lite Touch Installation.docx", i do see that my LiteTouch.iso
file is only 300MB, i would expect this file to be around 5gb. I am assuming this is the file i would copy on to other baremetal servers and have it restored?
iii) Also what option should i select for task sequence, should it be "Standard Client Task Sequence"
or "Sysprep"
Any help is highly appreciated.

You will need to have MDT installed on another server or workstation. Basically, anything that can contain your deployment share, which is where you scripts and files reside and where your captured image will be stored.
The Litetouch ISO is for Windows PE environment, and that's why the size of the file is ~300MB.
Standard Client Task Sequence will install the OS, drivers, apps and, if you selected the option in the wizard, it will also perform a sysprep and capture. The Sysprep and Capture Task Sequence is for syspreping and capturing an OS that may already be deployed;
it just runs the sysprep and capture step.
If you are new to MDT, you may want to visit YouTube and watch a few videos about how the process works in general. I think MDT could work quite well for what you need but it may take a bit to wrap your head around if you aren't familiar with deployment
methodologies.
