MDT 2012 Sysprep and Installation Failure

A few days ago I tried to install a clean windows 7 installation with updates on a dell optiplex 3010,
it gave a failure and after that I didn't think much of it anymore
The next day i tried to install another 3010 and got the same error
Windows could not parse or process the unattended answer file for pass [specialize]. The setting specified in the answer file cannot be applied. The error was detected while processing settings for component [Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup].
Since I am fairly new to MDT I am clueless, I went to c:/windows/panther/unattendedgc and
got this log.

This is from a sysprep on a vm in vmware workstation. I am clueless what to do next..
I've read a lot of threads but I can't find any solution.
Can anybody help me with analogizing log files?
and which other log files might be helpfull?
regards
hidde

This can sometimes happen when you have OSDComputerName=%SerialNumber% in the CustomSettings.ini. Because you are deploying an image to VMware, VMw has SerialNumbers that are different in characters... To make a long story short, use the replace the following
command in CustomSettings.ini:
OSDComputerName=%SerialNumber%
to
OSDComputerName=#RIGHT("%SerialNumber%",15)#
15= the max number of characters allowed in a computername. This should help fix your issue.

MDT installation and random failures

We have MDT 2012 Update 1 x64 and we use MDT to install new machines. MDT is installed to virtual machine running Windows Server 2012 (hypervisor is also Windows Server 2012) We boot machines with PXE and start task sequence from there. Randomly MDT task
sequence fails on some computers and few or more random applications wont install. We just start installation again and usually then it goes without errors.
When I open BDD.log it contains these errors:
WARNING - unable to set working directory: (-2147024832)
ZTIApplications 11.3.2014 13:12:38
0 (0x0000)
Error installing application Microsoft Office 2010 ProPlus 32-bit ENG: The specified network name is no longer available.
ZTIApplications 11.3.2014 13:12:38
0 (0x0000)
Any idea what could be causing this?

Unable to set working directory suggests that the directory is not there. Does this happen all the time for this specific application, or random?
If it always happens for this application, then I would say the directory is not accessible from the OS Clients, either it does not exist, or perhaps some permissions issue.
If you only get the error, once in a while, then I would suggest you have some network problems. Some debugging may be necessary.

Deployment Failure - thick image - (5627) dism.exe (MDT 2012 Update 1)

I installed MDT 2012 Update 1 on a new server and was testing it out with our Windows 8 deployment. I captured a thick image which works fine when I boot to Win PE and apply it using dism.
I imported the image into the the deployment share (custom, no setup/sysprep) and created a Custom Task Sequence with just 3 tasks to do a custom format (command line using dism), apply the image (choose specific disk and partition), and restart the computer.
However, when I go through the task sequence, it comes up with some errors and appears that it gets sysprepped again because it prompts me to answer questions that weren't a part of my original sysprep (EULA, adding a new user, etc).
Any idea where I need to look to get this fixed? I've shared the BDD.log and LTIApply.log on my SkyDrive.

Hi Mathew,
I have the similar error deploying a image (no sysprep) using the standard client task sequence. There are 2 partitions, one 500MB for boot and the other remaining partition is for OS. Do you have solutions to resolve the errors? Greatly appreciate
any advice given. Thanks.

MDT 2012 deploy OS from USB external drive failed - need to unplug and plug it once again

We are using MDT 2012 and deploying Windows 7 using media (USB external hard drive). We can successfully deploy Windows 7 32 bit using this method but there is a problem with deploying Windows 7 64bit. This problem appears only on HP EliteBook 840. We can
boot into WinPE 64 bit and can start proper task sequence, all image is applied then after restart, before logon screen appears there is an error saying that cannot find litetouch.vbs script. After clicking ok, I can logon to Windows and there is no usb external
drive recognized. But when I unplug and plug usb drive once again it is recognized by Windows and can be used. I can see that Windows install some drivers just after plug it again
I checked BIOS looking for some USB power options - there is no such settings. And 32 bit deployment works ok. So this is not a case. Looks for me like a problem with proper usb drivers for 64 bit. I download all drivers from HP website (driver pack and
drivers only for USB 3.0). We are using make and model matching in MDT - works ok for all the rest hardware models. Any idea how to troubleshoot it?

Not sure what's going on here. Is this a USB "Flash" drive or a USB "Hard Drive". There *Is* a distinction.
I *thought* that MDT would copy itself to the c:\minint\scripts folder to continue installation.
Next time, when you see this error, Press Shift-F10 to get into a cmd.exe prompt. Can you find litetouch.vbs on any of the drives? Does the USB Drive appear?
IF in fact, the USB Drive is not appearing after the 1st reboot, then you have a problem. Why did the USB 3.0 driver not install. Check the Driver Installation Logs to verify.

Windows 7 Image Deployment Failed in HP model D530 using MDT 2012 and ADK 8.0

Hi,
I need your help to sort out the following issue.
I have installed MDT 2012 +ADK 8.0 and created Windows 7 32 bit OS from CD in the deployment share and tried deploying the raw OS from Deployment Share in to a reference machine (HP D530) ,the deployment failed also couldn't able to capture
Image from the machine,even the sysprep failed. This is the error
Your PC needs to restart.
Please hold down the power button.
Error Code:0x0000005D
Parameters:
0x030F0209
0x746E6547
0X49656E69
0X6C65746E
So tried the same in another HP machine ,the deployment was success and also was able to capture the refrence machine.
Need your help to find why this error occurred in this specific HP model D530 alone. Is it the reason that ADK was not supported in that specific model.
D530 is the maximum available HW model in client environment so your help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!!

I have never seen that error before (see identical post). I did a quick internet search and found the following:
http://optimizewindows8.wordpress.com/2013/03/26/how-to-fix-error-code-0x0000005d/
Either:
1) Upgrade your machines with modern processors that support the ADK.
or
2) Downgrade to the WAIK

MDT 2012 upd 1 and Windows / Component updates

I am trying to create a deployment for Win 7 x64 in MDT 2012, and it is going quite well. My problem is with the Windows Update passes -- for some reason it misses many Office and Component updates until I go to deploy. Then it takes another
hour to grab and install those. I don't understand why it does not grab them during the TS process.
I am doing a staged capture in a VM environment, starting with a zero-touch capture that includes Office 2010 and all the updates. This is my thin image and it takes about 5.5 hours through capture. Then I take this thin image, add standard apps
that cannot be silently installed, customize desktop options that cannot be easily automated (another huge pain, but another topic), and, I was hoping, install all the updates for Office 2010 and other non-OS components.
In the first TS, I run the updates pre-installation, use the TS step to install Office, and run them again post-installation. It does pick up a few, but then the logs say the system is fully updated and goes on to the next step.
In the second TS, I use the post-installation update step. One of the apps I use installs SQL components, and the TS picks up on this and installs several updates it finds. Then it decides the machine is up to date and moves on, skipping about
40 updates as of this writing.
As a test, I inserted a reboot step between app installation and the post-install Update step, but it still ignored the Office updates. Research on the issue turned up the idea that at some point ZTIWindowsUpdate turns on the extra updates, and also
several suggestions that this is how it is supposed to work (and why the standard TS is designed this way).
I rolled my VM back to the suspended point and I'm running WU manually at the console. I had to enable "Microsoft Update" manually, and now it is happily pulling down the updates. I just hope there's enough smarts left in the VM to
run to the task to completion.
I'm hoping that some whiz with the process can enlighten us on how to force ZTIWindowsUpdate to search for critical updates for all Microsoft components, not just the OS ones.
UPDATE:
Digging into the code and logs, it seems that a certain condition is not occurring to trigger the Microsoft Update service; bFoundMU must be true for this to happen. A ServiceID hard coded is not being matched--the reason escapes me. Near as
I can tell, after a magic reboot it finally finds a match for this ServiceID. Hopefully this snippet does not get munged...
    On Error Resume Next
           Item = oFSO.GetFileVersion ( ees("%SystemRoot%\System32\WUAUENG.DLL" ) )
           oLogging.CreateEntry "Ready to Opt-In to Microsoft Update: WUA Version: " & Item , LogTypeInfo
           Set ServiceManager = nothing
           Set ServiceManager = CreateObject("Microsoft.Update.ServiceManager")
       On Error Goto 0
       If ServiceManager is nothing then
           oLogging.CreateEntry "Failed to Create Object: Microsoft.Update.ServiceManager" , LogTypeWarning
       Else
           bFoundMU = False
           For each Item in ServiceManager.Services
               WScript.Echo "Registered Update Service: " & Item.ServiceID & "   " & Item.Name
               If Item.ServiceID = "7971f918-a847-4430-9279-4a52d1efe18d" then
                   bFoundMU = True
               End if
           Next
           oLogging.CreateEntry "Microsoft Update Service: Enabled = " & bFoundMU, LogTypeInfo
           If not bFoundMU then
               On Error Resume Next
                   Err.clear
                   ServiceManager.ClientApplicationID = "My App"
                   If Err.Number <> 0 then
                       oLogging.CreateEntry "There was an error getting Windows Update to opt into Microsoft Update. Please verify you are running the latest version
of Windows Update Agent." , LogTypeWarning
                   End if
The logs look virtually identical between the two runs. This is getting way deeper than I understand the update process or about service IDs.
UPDATE 2:
Digging further, it seems that the the condition of bFoundMU has no bearing on whether or not MU is used, but possibly the existence of muauth.cab. From the deploy log where it actually started, bFoundMU is still false, but at that point the Office
updates started to come in:

After the subsequent reboot, bFoundMU was set to true.

Another detail I neglected to mention is that I am using two separate deployment shares, one for building the deploy image and the other for actual deployments. I think I found another clue in the log, muauth.cab:
<![LOG[FindFile: The file muauth.cab could not be found in any standard locations.]LOG]!><time="11:05:34.000+000" date="04-24-2014" component="ZTIWindowsUpdate" context="" type="1" thread="" file="ZTIWindowsUpdate">

The next stanza in ZTIWindowsUpdate.wsf is this:
If oEnvironment.Item("WsusServer") = "" then
                          iResult = oUtility.FindFile("muauth.cab", strCabPath)
                       If iResult <> Success then
                           '// "" will force a internet search for cab file
                           strCabPath = ""
                       End if
                       oLogging.CreateEntry " about to begin add service ["+ strCabPath +"]", LogTypeInfo
                       Set NewUpdateService = ServiceManager.AddService2("7971f918-a847-4430-9279-4a52d1efe18d",6,strCabPath)
                       oLogging.CreateEntry " Status: " & NewUpdateService.RegistrationState, LogTypeInfo
                   End if
Indeed, the muauth.cab file was present in my first one, but not the deployment one. As the log says, since there is no muauth.cab file, the code will then go download it.
I don't know how, when, or why this happened (why is it in my first DS and not my second?), but a simple test this evening will confirm my suspicion that if the file is not present it will update as expected.

MDT 2012 measuring amount and deployment time

I'm on beginning of MDT's Adventure. For our Client we have to prepare in a monthly basis image load reports that contain amount of images deployed in requested period of time with information how many each OS installation took time. If it's possible to
collect those information from MDT 2012/WDS logs and if it is possible to automation of preparation image load report process.

You could always do a .count of your logging directory on the MDT DS. The other option would be a Powershell script that runs at the end of the deployment. It could be something as simple as --
#TS Variables
$tsenv = New-Object -COMObject Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment
$scriptroot = $tsenv.Value("Scriptroot")
#Machine Log Path
$machineLog = machinelog.txt
#WMI Variables
$os = get-wmiobject win32_operatingsystem
$computer = get-wmiboject win32_computersystem
#VALIDATE MACHINE LOG EXISTS.
if (!(test-path $scriptroot\$machinelog)){
new-item -path $scriptroot\$machinelog}
#ADD CONTENT TO MACHINE LOG.
add-content -path $scriptroot\$machinelog -value "Machine built - $(Get-Date) - Machine Name : $computer.name OS : $os.version"
#DONE
exit 0
This is really basic but you get the idea. Have it shoot data to a file. Usually you would want this into an xls file, but that takes a bit more work. I take no responsibility for this script and it has not been tested, it's more to give
you the idea of the construct for what you would need. Good luck.

SCCM 2012 SP1 and MDT 2012 Task Sequence Templates, MDT File/Settings Packages

We're setting up SCCM 2012 integrated with MDT 2012 for our OSD. My main issue is finding actual reference material for the MDT task sequence templates when integrated with SCCM. The MDT documentation has a lot of information on variables and task sequences
outside of SCCM integration.
One thing I'd love to find information on is what's actually going on during an MDT Client Task Sequence template. I found this http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/645a77b2-5be6-431d-818c-57d24b1435cc/understanding-mdt-task-sequence?forum=configmgrosd but
it doesn't delve into the kind of detail I'm looking for. I can dig up information through the MDT reference material on some things, but I just can't find anything out there that actually walks you through an SCCM/MDT task sequence template. For instance,
under State Restore what is being referenced in Install Software with base variable name PACKAGES, vs Install Applications and base variable name COALESCED APPS. And, where are you supposed to put these applications? That's just a specific example, I'm hoping
to find some kind of walkthrough.
Two things I'm hazy on are the MDT packages. What exactly are the MDT Settings Package, and the MDT Files Package? What are they used for? What benefits do you get out of using them? And, how exactly do you use them? I know one of them has something to do
with customsettings.ini, but what's the point of using SCCM with MDT if you still have to muck around in the customsettings.ini file?
Either way, it seems like there are a lot of references to SCCM task sequences, and a lot of references to MDT task sequences. But, not together. Which is a bit annoying since the MDT-integrated task sequence templates are very obviously different than either
SCCM or MDT by itself. Any help would be appreciated, even just information on where to look. Maybe I'm just really bad at finding reference material for SCCM/MDT. Thanks.

When MDT integrated with SCCM, We need the following MDT components to be created:
MDT Boot image
MDT Toolkit Files
MDT Settings
The MDT boot image (for example) gives you extra abilities over the standard ConfigMgr boot image such as the ability to display a HTA Refer here:
http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/forum/98-frontends-and-web-services/
MDT Files once created, you will find UDIWizard_Config.Xml file in which you can start User driven Installation OSD using UDI designer.
Refer these links for better understanding:

Thanks, Prabha G
Thanks for the quick reply. But, what about the MDT Settings Package? Also, both have a pretty big folder structure for each package. Surely it does more than just provide a couple xml and ini files? I'm not looking for anyone to spoon-feed me the information,
but at least a pointer in the right direction for finding the reference material. It seems for SCCM/MDT integration you have to go all over the place finding scraps of information to put together.
Also, any info on the SCCM/MDT task sequence templates? Thanks.

MDT and Macs running Bootcamp – worked in MDT 2010, now does not in MDT 2012

I haven’t been able to find much info on this so I thought I would try here and see if anyone can help.
We’ve been using MDT 2010 for the last couple of years to install Windows 7 on Macintosh’s running Bootcamp and it’s been working fine.
We recently upgraded to MDT 2012 and the same process we used to use for this does not work anymore and I would like to find out how to make it work on 2012.
Here’s how the process works:
First, setup Bootcamp on the Mac. This creates another partition on the Mac for the Windows OS (partition 3 for MAC OS 10.6 and lower, partition 4 for OS 10.7 Lion because of the recovery partition).
Unfortunately Bootcamp cannot create NTFS partitions so it formats it as FAT32.
We then create a standard client task sequence using MDT and the Windows 7 source files (not a custom image) and give it a name to make it obvious it’s for Mac’s – “Windows 7 for Macintosh running Bootcamp”.
We edit that task sequence and disable the built in “Format and Partition Disk” step since we don’t need to create the partition, only format it as NTFS.
We then create a custom diskpart.txt file called BootCamp_Lion.txt with the following contents:
SELECT DISK 0
SELECT PARTITION 4
FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK OVERRIDE
We place this file in the “Extra directory to add” location we’ve specified in the Win PE Customization section so it is located on the root of X:\ when it boots into Win PE.
We then add a command line to the task sequence: diskpart.exe /s x:\BootCamp_Lion.txt
to format the existing bootcamp partition as NTFS. Then in the “Install Operating System” step we set it to apply to a specific disk and partition – Disk 0, Partition 4.
This installs Windows 7 on the Bootcamp partition and leaves the Mac OS intact and has been working fine in MDT 2010.
Now with MDT 2012, the task sequence starts fine, formats the partition, installs Win 7, but when it comes up in the full OS for the first time I get the error “Unable to find the SMS Task Sequencer.
The deployment will not proceed.” And the task sequence stops.
I know the partitioning part has changed in 2012 and have read that you can get this error if you deploy to something other than disk 0, partition 1 but I’m wondering if I can accomplish the same thing that I used to have working in 2012.
Is there a different way I can do this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Robb

Hi Guys
I have been having the same problem.
What I have done to get around it is
add a custom command as we all did in MDT 2010 to format partition 3 or 4 depending on the version of OSX
don’t disable the Format and Partition Disk task but tick in create active partition then remove the partition properties and then click on options and check
continue on error
then under install operating system change the partition that you want to have windows installed on
Once the deployment has completed you will receive the message that deployment has completed but with one error
Hope this helps
Regards
Matthew

MDT 2012 - Failure 9701: Unable to find any version of USMT, unable to perform user state migration. Failed to run the action Restore User State. DNS Record does not exist. (Error: 000025E5; Source: Windows)

I am having trouble trying to capture a new Windows 8 image with WDT 2012.
My Setup -
Server 2012
WDS
MDT 2012
Windows 8 ADK
Hyper-V
I have created a new task and I can get the image to successfully deploy the image to a VM but it seems to fail at the Restore User State task.
Once the install Applications task has finished I added a Suspend task so I could customize the image a little. Upon resuming the task sequence is where the above failure message appears. I can see it gets to the next step (which is 'Restore User State')
but that seems to be where is crashes.
Does anyone have any advice on what I might be doing wrong or what I can do to resolve the above issue?

WAIK being installed was probably your issue so I wouldn't bother disabling the restore task. It is used to migrate user data, docs, and settings on refreshes, not new builds. It doesn't affect CopyProfile, just note that data will be migrated on refreshes so
some aspects may change, ie wallpaper, shortcuts, etc but what gets migrated with USMT can also be configured.

SCCM 2012 R2 UDI Tasksequence (MDT 2013): Capture and Refresh UserState in one Tasksequence

Hi,
is it possible to first capture the user state in an UDI Tasksequence to USB or Network drive and afterwards, after re-installation restore the user state via restore user state step?
Customer wants this steps in refresh Scenario:
UDI Tasksequence starts within Windows
User configures Network drive to capture User State
Windows is reinstalled during Tasksequence
User State is restored in restore user state step (same TS)
Possible?
I can't find reliable Information?
Thanks for answers!

MDT 2012 and DomainJoin

I am trying to understand when MDT 2012 joins the domain during a standard client task sequence if the settings are specified in CustomSettings.ini. In 2012 Beta 1, I had machines joining the domain during the "Recover from Domain" step. After upgrading
to 2012 RTM, machines are joining the domain well before that step (even before first logon).
Is this expected behavior and is there an easy way to change it?

By default, the domain join happens as part of the OS installation - the unattend.xml specifies to join the domain. If you want that to happen later, e.g. using the "Recover from Domain" step, you would need to remove the join entries from the unattend.xml
associated with your task sequence. The Lite Touch wizard will set the same task sequence variables in either case, and the "Recover from domain" step will notice that the unattend.xml didn't do the join.
Thanks, -Michael Niehaus Senior Program Manager, Microsoft Deployment Toolkit [email protected] http://blogs.technet.com/mniehaus
I have one question for you. I use a reference TS and i don't want that the reference computer joins the domain.
My CS.ini uses the joindomain and credentials (see below).
I removed the "recover from domain" from my reference TS.
But my reference computer still joins the domain !!
Do i need to modify unattend.xml on my TS ? Domain settings are empty there. I don't understand why it does not work !

Steps to create MDT based Build and capture TS in SCCM 2012 R2

Hi ,
I have MDT2012 update 1 with Config manager 2012 R2 integrated. If I try to create MDT task sequence in config manager console, I don't see and template for build and capture. Anyone using the build and capture, pls. share steps with me . Any help will be
appreciated. Preferably UDI based if possible. Thanks in advance.
Regards,

MDT 2012 Update 1 is for SCCM 2012 SP1
MDT 2013 is for SCCM 2012 R2
So you need to upgrade your MDT installation. After that, make sure to install the ConfigMgr integration from the start screen (menu)

SCCM OSD and MDT 2012 - Task Sequence query

Hi All
I have single server SCCM 2012 R2 server with MDT 2013 successfully integrated. I'm looking to create a 'Sysprep and Capture' type Task Sequence within SCCM, so that this can be done via PXE rather than SCCM's more manual 'Capture Media' method. Just
wondering if anyone has thoughts on this, experience, pointers etc?
Couple of options that look possible are:
MDT Toolkit Package - include in SCCM based Task Sequence. Would it then be fairly easy to mimic ts steps detailed in MDT's existing 'Sysprep and Capture' TS, but within SCCM?
SCCM TS Steps - I've seen there are a number of TS Steps that look like they may enable OS Capture, but if so, bit confused there isn't more documented \ blogged on this kind of TS, would have thought this was a common requirement for a
SCCM TS? (TS Steps of interest within SCCM: 'Prepare Windows for Capture' and 'Capture Operating System Image')
Any assistance much appreciated!
Kind Regards

There is a bit of debate about the best way to capture reference images. Check out this good blog that reviews the options:

Having said that, you can certainly create a capture task sequence in SCCM. If you choose to create a new task sequence,you should see a build and capture option. Simply create a build and capture task sequence and then remove the build steps.
You will be left with:
I've used this method in certain cases.
Or as you said, if you are integrated with MDT, you can create an MDT task sequence to do the capture or add MDT steps as needed.
Hopefully that helps!
