Using diskpart as the very first step in TS

Hi, 
I want to have a very first in TS as hard drive clean and partitioning it. so once WinPE is downloaded, system reboots, it will check 'IsLaptop' or 'IsDesktop' condition and if its Laptop, it should clean the disk 0 and parition it. I have tried to achieve
this but i am getting an error. Its a MDT based TS in Configuration manager 2012 R2 (MDT 2013 is integrated). Laptops are encrypted and just need to be wiped and reload without databackup. I feel this is the easiest way to have dispart clean the disk, recreate
partition based on condition if its laptop. 
Steps i am doing is :
1. diskpart. exe /s diskpart.txt - first step in TS, and has condition to run only if 'IsLaptop equals True'. I have created package for diskpart.txt ( i am wondering if this could be an issue, if it tries to download the package on hdd and hdd doesn't have
partition yet)
2. set imageosver to 6.1 - since its for windows 7
3. Format and partition disk 6.1 - will format and create 2 partitions 'OS disk' and 'BDE'
then other steps starts like Use toolkit package, gather and UDI wizard. 

You could have the Format/Partition steps run only if the Chassis/Model type = that of a laptop or one of your laptop models.  If those parameters aren't met (e.g. PC is not one of the desktop models or doesn't have a the laptop ChassisTypes), the partition/format
steps wont' run.
I've ran into issues when trying to run commandline steps that require files to copy down first.  I have the best luck when the drive(s) are properly cleaned, repartitioned, and formatted first.

  • PAL to NTSC... the VERY FIRST step to get off of disc?

    I've got a PAL disc, and I need to transfer the movie to NTSC. Looked through the discussions and can follow the tutorial, but what is the very first step I should take to get the contents of the disc onto my desktop? Should I drag out the Audio_TS and Video_TS folders, or create a quicktime movie on desktop?

    I posted this: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9229331#9229331 earlier today. Its a good idea to copy the VIDEO_TS folder to your computer first -speeds up the process quite a bit. You don't need the AUDIO_TS folder, its probably empty anyway.

  • Workflow stuck at the very first step

    Hi,
    The workflow is started and its stuck at the first step
    this is the very first workflow created in the client
    are there any standard background jobs that should be started for the workflow to proceed ?
    thank you

    hi,
    as venugopal suggested, check whether the event was triggered and then check whether the WF has actually started or not. you can check this using transaction SWEL or SWI1.
    if the event was triggered but WF hasnt started then you might not have activated the event linkage. this can be done in the "basic data" of the WF in the "start events" tab.
    Since you have mentioned that "The workflow is started and its stuck at the first step", probably the WF has started.
    can you specify the error message that you are getting?
    what is the fisrt step in your WF?
    give some details.

  • TS1398 I cannot start to use my new ipad mini as it is stuck at the very first step after restoring my old backup. It says to choose a wifi, I do and then it says 'Unable to connect' There is no options for a password and I cannot access any other screen!

    I have tried going past the first set up stage, still with no wifi. I have then tried restoring the ipad mini, still no wifi available. Both my ipone and Apple Mac have wifi full bars. Please help. I only picked up my new ipad today. I am thinking it may be faulty.
    Lele

    It may be faulty but you should try to activate it first in order to be sure.
    Why don't you activate it using iTunes on the Mac and then troubleshoot the WiFi connection. Connect the Mini to the Mac with the cable and iTunes should startup and take you through activation. If you do not autosync and iTunes des not start up on it's own, then launch it yourself.

  • HT201263 I just got my iPhone 4 yesterday, and I went through the very first steps you have to when first setting up your iPhone, and I finish and it says I have no service and i have to restore my device? But my phone has been stuck on the Apple logo?Why

    My iPhone has been "frozen" for two hours now on the Apple logo, after me seeing a notification pop up and tell me I have to restore my device. And my device has been stuck since I started and does not seem to be making any progress besides vibratingf every three or so minutes. Why is this?

    I'm having this EXACT same problem with my iPhone 4, and I have the same computer stats (I have a Samsung Series 7)

  • Do I need a computer to use my ipad for the very first time?

    I would like to know if I buy an iPad, shall I need to have a computer to start it for the very first time?
    I mean do I need to do plug in or can I start without  plug in?

    The new iPad does not need to be activated using iTunes. You will need a WiFi connection to activate it, but not a computer.
    If you are buying an iPad2, if it does not already have iOS 5 on it, then you would need a computer running the latest version of iTunes,

  • HT201250 which external hard drive should I choose/use as I am setting up Time Machine on my MacBook Pro 15 for the very first time?

    Which external hard drive should I use/choose as I am setting up Time Machine on my MacBook Pro 15 for the very first time?

    Any of these SATA HDDs that are at least the same size as your internal HDD (preferably larger capacity).  In addition you will need an enclosure, preferably one with a Firewire as well as a USB connection.

    You can try calling Apple support at 0800-761-0880 and explaining the situation to them. Perhaps there will be something they can do to help. Try asking to speak with a Customer Relations representative, though I don't know if they have them in Brazil.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
    If the device is wiped by you or another, you may not be able to locate the device (although some have reported they can)

  • Hyperion System 9.3.1 reports taking longer time for the very first time

    We are on Hyperion System 9.3.1. The Financial reports are taking longer time (like 2 to 3 minuter) for the very first time for each login. The subsequest reports are does work faster.
    The behaviour is same for the Production and Development environments.
    All the reporting services have given enough JVM heap size.
    FYI, Reporting and Workspace runngin on the same server. Workspace/Reporting are clusted in two servers. HFM app is running on different server. HFM web is on different server. Shared Services is also on running on different server.
    Any help would be greately appreciated.
    Thanks.

    The reason they run quicker the subsequent times, is because the data has already been cached in the system.
    You could try the usual tricks to speed the report up:
    - move items into POV
    - have children and parent in the same row
    - arrange dimensions in inverse outline order
    - remove excessive formatting
    - push report calculations back to the data source
    We have found that using lots of dynamically calculated members also slows down reports, so try and limit the number of these.
    Hope this helps. If not maybe give us an idea of how the report is created to see if other changes could be made.

  • New project: Every clip -- even the very first clip -- needs to be rendered.  Why?  I have no effects applied.

    I just started a new project.  Every clip -- even the very first with NO effects - has to be rendered.  Why?  I have used this exact same clip in other videos and had no problem.  I tried other simple (no effects) clips and they all do the same thing.  Could it be something in my initial project settings?This is for a funeral and I do NOT have time to wait till Sunday when Adobe Chat Help opens up again.  PLEASE HELP!

    So, perhaps I'm missing something.  Yes, dragging a clip to "new item" corrects the problem for that clip only, but trying to add another other clips to that same sequence results in new clips still needing to be rendered.  Dragging additional clips to "new item" simply opens a new sequence which I don't need.  I need all the corrected clips on the same sequence.
    1) How can I get corrected clips on the same timeline?
    2) How can I keep this from happening on future projects?  I did not change anything from previous projects.  I simply opened a new project & named it.  I'm not sure where things went so wrong.
    I know this sounds tacky, but I have gained about 2 days to complete this project since they have decided to cremate rather than bury.  Still need answers quickly though.  THANK YOU!

    For the following two queries, the provider works properly.

    However, the provider can't reposition to the very first record after navigating some records with the following query.

    It's the K7T Pro.  Same as the post listed above.
    According to my friend he's had it for more than 3 years so the warrantee is gone and I dont' see anything MSI can do.
    I came across many posts on the forums about the K7t Pro and it's successors.
    Everyone is says the same thing, "a bad voltage regulator.... leaky capacitors..."
    I've eliminated the following things as causes for this problem...
    PSU
    CMOS
    CPU
    RAM
    VideoCard
    SoundCard
    NIC
    Cooling
    The only things I am not sure of is the motherboard and the fact the D-Leds point to something with the lithium batter, as I mentioned above.
    Have there been problems with these motherboards like people say?
    Can you or anyone else think of anything which maybe causing this?

  • HT3529 is there a way to scroll up to the very first message received quicker than scrolling up and loading more messages?

    I want to scroll to the very first message receieved quicker than scrolling and having to use the upload more messages.

    Not really a complete answer, but if you tap the "time" at the very top of the screen, the message will quickly move to the top of the current set of messages.  Then you do need to tap the "load more messages".
    But you can quickly tap the "time" then "load more" then "time" then "load more" etc...
