How to deploy Windows 8.1 to many tablets ?

We need to create a customized OS image (SOE) for Windows 8.1 and deploy to a number of tablet devices in our company.
We can create the customized image but am are not clear about how to deploy to a tablet. We have SCCM 2012.
Whats the best way to deploy an OS image to a Windows tablet ? I would prefer detailed steps on this procedure.

Detailed procedures are not possible without a detailed inventory of your environment.
PXE is my choice for new OS deployments, but not all tablets have PXE. Specifically what tablets do you have?
Some Tablets are also not able to run x64 OS. Do you have any Atom processor machines?
Installation works best when running from Ethernet, rather than Wi-Fi? What is your wired Network status?
Do your machines need to be domain joined? do you have procedures for imaging machines dis-connected from your corpnet?

How To: Deploying Windows & Office updates during task sequence

How do you guys apply windows and office updates during the task sequence?
Right now for Windows, I am offline servicing using my software deployment package.
For Office, I had the software deployment package, but can't figure out how to add it to my task sequence. All the options don't allow me to choose the package.
My end goal is to keep everything as up to date as possible, and if people image a computer and run Windows Update, they only have to download 10 or less updates, not 100+.

Is Office part of your image or do you deploy Office as part of your task sequence?
If office is part of your image, i'd recommend that you create a fully automated build and capture process using the MDT lite touch, and use a separate WSUS server to update the image with Windows , Office and other updates.
It's pretty easy to setup.

If Office is not part of the image, you need to deploy the updates using Software Updates In SCCM as part of your Task Sequence.

@ronnipedersen
It's a task sequence. I'm confused how Software Updates works with SCCM because I do not want to use it to update All Systems. I only want to update it to computers that get imaged which are Unknown Computers. We have WSUS to take care of updates.
If I deploy to Unknown Computers the updates in SCCM, once it joins the domain though to install all the other applications in the task sequence, will updates still go through now that it isn't a "Unknown ComputeR"?

How to deploy connection (Mac OS X Yosemite to Windows RDS) through the RD Gateway with Two Factor authentication (Safenet OTP) on Session host?

Good day!
Could you please help me? How to deploy connection (Mac OS X Yosemite to Windows RDS) through the RD Gateway with Two Factor authentication on Session host? How to open an authentication dialog that is the same as in Windows when logging on to network resources
in Windows (Windows Security)?
Our test environment: We have one RDS 2012 R2 server (all roles in one) and one session host in collection. On the session host installed Safenet Network Logon and it under GPO which disable all authentication, only OTP.

Hi Sir,
It seems that you are going to integrate 3rd party product into AD for authentication .
I would suggest you to contact the vendor of Safenet for this deployment scenario :

How to deploy agent from windows 32bit to 64bit

Hello,
I have installed oem grid on windows 2003 32bit. I have a few remote boxes that are 64 bit windows. How can I use oem grid on 32 bit to deploy agent on the remote 64 bit boxes? I can install agent on 64 bit boxes manually but I want to know how to deploy from 32 bit to 64 bit if possible? Thank you.

First, the bit version of the OEM OMS Host and the Target Agent Hosts is independent, i.e. you can have OMS on windows 32bit and have several 64bit target hosts, where you are running the 64bit agent.
Unless you have a lot of target hosts, I would recommend either manually installing the agents (mount a share with the installation files and run setup locally) or using the agentDownload.

How to mass deploy Windows InTune client software with GPO

I have been looking for mass deploy Windows InTune client software. The only option that I had was with GPO. As we know the exe is not possible to deploy with GPO. Ok, we can play arouund with ZAP files or tranform exe to msi. In my opinion this is
rather »walk-around« the »enginering aproach. So, how can we mass deploy InTune client with GPO. We need to extract the msi from exe. The command is »Windows_Intune_Setup.exe /Extract <destination-directory> ». The command extracts exe to x86 and x64
client msi install. Then we can deploy throw GPO. The »WindowsIntune.accountcert« file must be in the same folder share as described in document http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj676611.aspx.
I have tested the deployment, and works good.

Hi,
Thanks for your sharing here! And this should be post on the Group Policy forum, I will move it there!

SCCM 2012 deploy windows 7: how to manage network/server load?

Hi,
Hypotetically, if you would deploy Windows 7 to hundreds of pc’s at once, how could you manage that, regarding organizing the deploy, regarding network/server load? F.e. you deploy to a collection which has 500 pc’s, users can select when
to load the OS (Windows XP, we deploy the SCCM 2012 client, they can choose when to install)
*How can you be sure network is not overloaded?
*Can you limit in SCCM 2012 bandwith usage?
Please advise.
J.
Jan Hoedt

You need to be as local as possible. You can host a deployment point role on a client OS such as windows 7 so you could temporarily setup one machine hosting OS images and then rebuild it last as well.
On a 100MB LAN with DP's hosted in a datacenter (not on subnet) we get to about 75 machines building at once before we see TFTP timeouts on PXE booting due to load on the local network. I would get your build as quick as possible and then do them in increasing
block sizes whilst monitoring the network and server load.
To speed up builds you could...
Build and capture to get a WIM file with most apps and updates in it.
Change the TFTPBlockSize registry settings on the DP's (If PXE booting) to as high as it will go
Host WIM files on your DP's with the Package share settings configured and enable the "Access content directly..." option in the Apply Operating System part of your task sequence.
Hope this helps.

[Forum FAQ] How to deploy applications remotely

In some situations, we may need some ways to install applications remotely, here we summarize four general ways to deploy applications.
1. Using PowerShell to install
We can use the Win32_Product class to install Windows Installer packages, remotely or locally, so in this way, we can use powerShell command to invoke this function. For example, to install the NewPackage.msi package located in the network
share \\AppServ\remote on the remote computer PC01, type the following command at the Windows PowerShell prompt:
(Get-WMIObject -ComputerName PC01 -List | Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.Name -eq "Win32_Product"}).Install(\\AppSrv\remote\NewPackage.msi)
In same method, we can use the following command to deploy .exe application:
(Get-WMIObject -ComputerName PC01 -List | Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.Name -eq "Win32_Process"}).Create(\\AppSrv\remote\NewPackage.exe)
Note: The applications should use Windows Installer technology.
2. PsExec tool: one of sysinternals utilities
PsExec's most powerful uses include launching interactive command-prompts on remote systems and remote-enabling tools like IpConfig that otherwise do not have the ability to show information about remote systems. So, we can use this feature to install our
applications, in fact this is similar with PowerShell methods, the only difference is that PsExec is a comprehensive tool. Similarly, we can use the following command to achieve our goal:
psexec \\PC01 cmd /c "\\AppSrv\remote\NewPackage.msi" /quiet /norestart
Note: we can also use PsExec tool to install Microsoft Update file (.msu)
psexec \\PC01 -s -h -d wusa.exe "\\AppSrv\remote\NewPackage.msu" /quiet /norestart
3. Group Policy Software Installation
In domain environment, this method is very useful to deploy our software. It only supports MSI package for deployment.
We can choose assign a program to user or computer. If you assign the program to a user, it is installed when the user logs on to the computer. When the user first runs the program, the installation is completed. If you assign the program to a computer,
it is installed when the computer starts, and it is available to all users who log on to the computer. When a user first runs the program, the installation is completed.
You can get the installation information of group policy software installation in event viewer, including success or failure.
4. System Center Configuration Manger
The Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager software distribution feature provides a set of tools and resources that help you create and manage packages and advertisements used to distribute software to client resources within your enterprise. This
is a comprehensive suit for deployment.
How to Deploy Applications in Configuration Manager
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682082.aspx
Summary:
There are a lot of methods for software deployment, here just introduce some generic ways.
Here is another important point of software deployment: Some applications do not use windows installer technology.
Applications that do not use Windows Installer technology may have application-specific methods for automated deployment. For example, a .exe file may be just a wrapper, it can be anything. To determine whether there is a method for deployment automation,
check the documentation for the application or consult the application vendor's support system. In some cases, even if the application vendor did not specifically design the application for installation automation, the installer software manufacturer may have
some techniques for automation.

MDT 2013, Deploying Windows 8.1 on Surface and Dell Venue Tablets

I'm having numerous issues with Capturing Images and Deploying to Windows 8.1 Tablets. We are currently using Surface Pro 1, 2, and Dell Venue 11 Pro tablets. I am using a Windows Server 2012 computer with MDT 2013 installed. I can't get the tablets
to:
1-sysprep and capture using MDT 2013
2-Deploy a Task Sequence with a WIM and other applications attached. (I've tried using the simple standard task seq option with no luck)
3-I found another way to get a WIM (using imagex) but when i deploy task sequence it ignores my selection of applications to install outside the WIM and only installs the WIM (WIM 14gb = Win 8.1 Ent, Office 2013 x32, MS Updates)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Everything is being performed within the LAN and with USB 2.0 thumbdrives for media.

Hi altimav8,
Are you trying to find out how to deploy Surface Pro method? Before capture the Surface pro image please download the latest drivers for the surface and made sure that they
were the only drivers that were going to be deployed. There have a specific MDT deploy support forum more about the MDT deploy related issue you can ask in MDT support forum.

How to install windows 7 on Old Macbook Pro 15'inch 2.3 Core 2 Duo

How to install windows 7 on Old Macbook Pro 15'inch 2.3 Core 2 Duo:
I want to known how to install windows 7 on Old Macbook 15'inch 2.3 Core 2 Duo by using usb
I try many time, but after restart bootcamp partition, apple show blinking folder error
I think this firmware not support to install windows by usb
NOTE:
I Cannot install Apple New OSX Mountain Lion, Mavericks etc in this MAC
If I cannot install windows 7 on this MAC, so tell me what I will do with this MAC ?

I agree with the optical drive, mine acted strange, and i thought people were crazy and my drive was shot, but a simple cleaning disc worked miracles.
But- are you trying to reboot with both the USB install and the DVD install both plugged in? that would definitely cause confusion.
Do this, reboot with NOTHING plugged in. Once you hear the Mac chime, immediately press and hold option.
You should only see the Mac HD, and Recovery Partition.
THEN plug in your external DVD, and wait a min or two, you should see a disc icon appear next to the recovery partition that says something like windows. If that doesnt appear after a min or two, unplug it and put the USB stick and do the same thing. I had to do it this way on my mid 09 MBP.
Let me know if this works to start the install. If not we may have to start over with Bootcamp Assistant

How to deploy a secured ADF 11g application to WebLogic 10.3 server?

Hi,
I have just enabled security in our ADF 11g application, as descripbed in [chapter 29|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/web.1111/b31974/adding_security.htm#insertedID0] of the Fusion Developer's Guide. It works fine in the embedded WebLogic server of JDeveloper.
Now I'm trying to deploy to our WebLogic 10.3 server, which runs in production mode. I'm running into all sorts of problems. The WebLogic console seems to have hundreds of security related pages, I don't know which one I should use, let alone how to use it. The Fusion Developer's Guide doesn't cover deployment to a production server:
>
When the target server is configured for production mode, you typically handle the migration task outside of JDeveloper using tools like Oracle Enterprise Manager. For details about using tools outside of JDeveloper to migrate the policy store to the domain-level in a production environment, see the [Oracle Fusion Middleware Security Guide|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/core.1111/e10043/toc.htm].
>
However, this guide is of very little help to me. I found [chapter 7|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/core.1111/e10043/addlsecfea.htm#insertedID0], which says "The recommended tool is Fusion Middleware Control." I have no idea what "Fusion Middleware Control" is, where to get it and how to use it.
Long story short: I'm totally lost. I'm looking for a step by step guide on how to deploy a secured ADF 11g application to a WegLogic 10.3 server that is running in production mode. Any help is highly appreciated.

Ok, I found a [very helpful blog post |http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2009/01/practical-adf-security-deployment-on.html] by [Andrejus Baranovski|http://www.blogger.com/profile/04468230464412457426]. I wish Oracle's documentation was as clear as this...
The blog post refers to an article by Steve Muench, called [Simplified ADF 11g Application Credential and Policy Migration to Standalone WebLogic Servers|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/muench/credmig111100/index.html]. This article presents an Ant script that migrates policies from JDeveloper to WebLogic, using some PFM. (See the last definition here.)
The problem is that Steve Muench's script assumes that JDeveloper and the standalone WebLogic are on the same machine. However, in a typical environment, such as the one I'm working in currently, this is not the case. In our case the developer stations are Windows machines, while our WebLogic server runs on a HP-UX machine. So the question is: how to perform this migration between two machines with different operating systems?

How to install Windows 8(8.1) on my MacBook Air (mid 2011)

When I try to install Windows 8 in EFI mode, install complete successfuly, but after Windows EFI boot, I haven't Audio and have basic Video driver. I try to install native (from BootCamp) drivers for this devices, but Windows don't want to install this drivers.
Please, help me! Thanks!

The proper way to install Windows is thru BootCamp. Although Apple uses many standard components such as Intel's CPUs and Toshiba SSDs, it also uses proprietary components not available to the Wintel market. As such Apple is the only source for drivers and BootCamp is the environment within which they are installed.
If you want to use your MBA solely as a Windows computer you'll need to start over and create the maximum sized BootCamp partition with a minimal Mac partition. That may not be what you want but it is how every happy Windows user I know of has insulted their Mac.

How to deploy forms? Or: FRM-92101 on Forms 10g (10.1.2.0.2)

Hello,
we have a problem with deploying changed FMX-Files.
We work with an OAS 10.1.2.0.2 and the Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2. The Compilation works fine with frmcmp_batch.sh on the server (Linux X86).
And these Files are accessible within the JInitiator-Applet. All fine.
But now there's the problem: If anyone has opened a FMX-File within JInitiator and this FMX-File is compiled again, the compilation is successful but the access on this form is not. The user only get an error
FRM-92101: There was a failure in the Forms Server during startup. This could happen due to invalid configuration.
Please look into the web-server log file for detatails.
Details...
Java Exception:
oracle.forms.net.ConnectionException: Forms.session <46> aborted: unable to communicate with runtime process.
at ...
I remember, there was an equivalent problem under 9i and the solution there was to set the FORMS90_MMAP-Variable. Under 10g there is no such setting. (and this is clearly no solution)
Now my question: There had to be a way to treat this problem. And all of the Forms-Developer had to have the same problem. I would be very happy if anybody could tell here how to deploy correctly.
Many thanks in advance,
Ralf

Yes, indeed.
We want to change fmx-files in a running installation because the functionality of the forms have to change, errors have to be corrected and so on.
I read the suggestions in Note 286762.1, but honestly I think it is to complicated in a development team to handle with two or more directories and to make clear, which one is the production-directory
I think this could not be the only possibility.
We thought about this:
- we have a development directory, a "waiting" directory and a productivity-directory.
The process could be:
- compiling in the development directory
- checking, if the fmx-file is in use (with lsof)
- if the fmx-file is in use, the fmx-file will be transferred into the "waiting" directory
- it the fmx-file is not in use, it will be transferred into the productivity-directory
- in regular intervalls a job has to test, if the files in the "waiting" directory are freed. If so they will be transferred, else not.
Only if changes are needed to do immediately (e.g. heavily errors), the fmx-file can be moved manually in the productivity-directory.
But this is only our idea. I thought there has to be a standard deployment-strategy from Oracle or better ideas from other developers.
Perhaps someone has a even better suggestion for us.
Many thanks in advance for every idea,
Ralf

HOW to get Windows 7 installed on HP Pavilion 15 15-E028US 15-E1X73UA E1X73UA / E028US
