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.

MDT 2013 deploying OS from USB Flashdrive failed - need to click OK everytime

We are using MDT 2013 with ADK 8.1 and deploying Windows 7 x64 using media (USB Flashdrive). We can successfully deploy Windows 7 x64b using ethernet cabel but not via USB-Flashdrive. This problem appears on all our HP EliteBook
Series, old as new computers series. We can boot into WinPE 64 bit and start the proper task sequence, all image is applied then after restart, after the logon screen appears there is an error saying that cannot find "USB media?".
But after clicking "OK" it works fine until next reboot, same thing again, but the drive is recognized!
I downloaded all USB drivers from HP website that holds USB 2.0 and 3.0 and drivers that contains open driver files like .inf and .dll files and injected them with the "Profile" that contains all drivers and packages.
It seems like it needs a timeout because of the script is trying to early to find the USB-flashdrive.
Any ideas?
Sorry for language, but you get the Point.
Best regards

Hi,
I would like you to clarify following questions with me:
1. Did you keep the USB plugged in during the restarting?
2. Have you make any task sequence to install applications after log in? If so, have them been installed properly?
Then, please help to collect a boot trace to let me know the details:

Dart tool not added in MDT 2013 deployment workbench

Hi, I have MDT 2013 installed, copied tools.cab for Dart 6.5 in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Deployment Toolkit\Templates\Distribution\Tools\x86 and C:\Program Files\Microsoft Deployment Toolkit\Templates\Distribution\Tools\x64 folders. x86 version
can in x86 folder and x64 in x64 folder. However, I don't see dart tools in the WINPE Features packs in the deployment share properties. I need to deploy Windows 7. Can someone suggest what is wrong? I have tried copying the dart tools.cab files for dart 6.5
7.0 and 8.1 without success.

Finally i fixed it. I created a new deployment share and the dart components appeared in winpe feature packs list but still they did not the appear in already existing old deployment share properties. I check the folders tools\x86 folder and there was
no tools.cab even though i copied the cabs under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Deployment Toolkit\Templates\Distribution\Tools\x64
folders. So for some reason mdt was not copying the tools.cab into existing deployment share. I am not sure this is by default or issue with my environment. Anyways, i copied the relevent tools.cab in tools\x64 and tool\x86 folders of existing deployment
share and not am able to see the dart tools in winpe feature packs.

MDT 2013 deploying images

Hello,
I am having issues with finishing the deployment of my image. Okay, so I downloaded all the drivers and I placed them in the out-of-box drivers in MDT 2013. I updated the deployment share and then I went to WDS and added the new .WIM file with the additional
drivers. I am able to image the computer, but when the computer boots up for me to activate Windows, I skip that because it cannot find the driver.
What am I doing wrong?

See in your device manager if all drivers are installed. If this is not the case, retrieve the missing driver from looking at the hardware id from the device, and match it against the
pcidatabase.com this should reveal which drivers you are missing.
Import the driver and you are good to go. By the way, updating your deployment share and regenerating your boot images is only necessary when you have modified your bootstrap.ini or have new drivers that need to be embedded in your boot image.
Cheers!

Using MDT 2013 on Windows 8.1 system

I downloaded the MDT 2013 and installed it. During Install I changed the installation drive to a secondary drive. When attempting to run the Deployment Workbench I would get an error telling me that I needed to have Powershell installed. Removed Powershell
and reinstalled it. Reinstalled MDT with no luck.
Finally I installed MDT 2013 with the default settings and then it worked. Little frustrating that you have the option to install to a different drive but then it wont work. Didn't really want to put it on my SSD.
Perhaps this can be fixed with future release.
Wirrel

I have been able to install MDT on a 2nd partition, no problems.
Perhaps you are observing a different problem (powershell?!?!).

SCCM 2012 R2/MDT 2012 - Deploying Windows 7 UDI CustomSetting.ini setting not applying

I am using an MDT UDI task sequence to deploy Windows 7. The task 'Apply Operating System Image' has the answer file package and unattend.xml file in the correct location.
Within the CustomSetting.ini I have the setting SkipProductKey=YES but, during the deployment it stops on the product key page.
We do not need to input a key since we are using KMS. I did not have this issue in 2007 although I did not use a UDI task sequence. I'm sure I am missing something or it's not using the CustomSetting.ini for some reason or another.

Hi,
Go to http://licensing.microsoft.com. You could download the windows 7 (KMS) Version ISO.

Deployed a new computer with MDT 2013, but Windows licensing did not give me an initial grace period

Hi all,
Strange issue. I have created a Windows 7 x64 gold image to be deployed. When creating the image, I allowed Sysprep to rearm Windows. I've deployed about 10 computers in the past week and everything has worked fine.
Yesterday, I deployed another two computers. One works fine, but when I logged into the second one, I was greeted with the you need to activate Windows now screen. I was confused so I ran slmgr /dlv and sure enough my license status was not "Initial
Grace Period" but instead "Notification." (by the way, it did show remaining rearms as 2, which is expected since it was rearmed with sysprep when capturing the image, so we know it was in fact rearmed).
So my question is how and why did this happen? I was in a hurry so I just ran slmgr /rearm to burn off another rearm. I plan on putting in a KMS server at the end of the week, but I'm worried if I should redeploy the image to this machine since something
appears to be wacky.
Anyone seen this before or have any thoughts on the matter?

Either way, it was correct when I checked it today so maybe it corrected itself after Windows was installed? Not sure how else to explain this one.
Me either.
After Windows is installed, if you are domain-joining, the clock will sync to your Domain Controller.
If not domain-joined, Windows will try to sync to time.windows.com (or similar).

Russian mnemonic keyboard three letters missing: щ ч э - in Office 2013 in Windows 8 Pro or Standard and Windows 7 Pro or Standard

The issue I believed is Windows specific. It only appears to work correctly on a Windows XP system. I can get the keys to work on Windows 7 or Windows 8 system.
Russian mnemonic keyboard three letters missing: щ ч э
I have a client that noticed this issue. He is a linguist and he uses the letters quite frequently. He further explained that...
Russian mnemonic keyboard three letters missing: щ ч э
On Windows 8 there is a mnemonic Russian keyboard.
Unfortunately there are three letters which I can not find: щ, ч and э.
These three letters exist in the standard Russian keyboard. They are at the following location (in the US keyboard): o,x and '.
I also did a test on a Windows 7 machine running office 2013 and still the letters are missing as described.
The client explained without these three letters the mnemonic keyboard is useless
Your help to address this issue is greatly appreciated.

I think it is by design. You can use Preview to show the keyboard layout.

My iCloud for windows is syncing email and notes with my MS Outlook 2013 on windows 8 but NOT contacts and calendar

Dear, I have downloaded and installed iCloud for windows and see that a user has been auto setup in my MS Outlookvia imap. I can now sync email and notes.I cannot sync icloud contacts and calendar with my MS Outlook, can you help me with this?

iCloud hosts the calendars on its server and your various computers read them from there. The protocol for doing this is called CalDAV.
Outlook for Mac has not been equipped with the programming for CalDAV and therefore cannot access iCloud calendars. Outlook for Windows evidently has and can.
This is something only Microsoft can rectify and you could send them feedback suggesting they do this with all convenient speed.
Outlook on a Mac can only access calendars living under 'On My Mac' and these cannot sync with iCloud. iCal can sync with iCloud provided you have 1-.7.2 or higher.

Windows Restarted Unexpectedly while applying systems settings after MDT 2012 deployment.

Posted this in another forum, so I figured give this forum a try.
Hello,
I wonder if anyone can help or point me in the right direction. I've created a couple of WIMs and deployed them out using MDT 2012 and WDS running on a Windows 2008R2 server. The images are created and captured fine. Sysprep runs with no issues
and I can deploy out the images to any PC/laptop I want.
The issue I'm running into is I can deploy out this image to 100 PC's without any issue. Then all of a sudden, I'll get an error saying Windows restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error and can not continue. This will then happen
from now on with this particular image. For instance I've imaged a particular Dell Optiplex 790 multiple times with no problem, then all of a sudden I get this error on this or any other PC i image.
If I create a new image, the pattern just keeps happening over and over again. I know it's not an issue with the physical computers themselves and I can imagine something is corrupting every image I have over a certain amount of time, so I'm sort of at
a loss. Driver issue perhaps?
Thanks,
Mike

I'm having what sounds like the same problem, which is why I posted it with this thread. I have been using MDT 2013 on various computers without any issues and now I am receiving the
Windows restarted unexpectedly message after the image has been applied. It will not get past the error. We only recently began using MDT 2013 with windows 2012 R2, so I don't have much experience troubleshooting. The only error I
found in the smsts.log is as follows:

I am deploying windows 8 (x64 &x86) custom wim images created using Hyper-v. In my custom.ini file I use an IP address for my server and I join the computer to our domain.
1) Could the IP address be causing the problem? Should I use the full domain address for my server?
2) If the WIM file is locked somehow or unavailable, what services should I turn off on the server?
3) Any other suggestions?
I won't have access to the server for a couple of days and I wanted to get help before I start to make changes or create another image. Thank you!

Deploying Windows 8.1 on Mac Pro's Late 2013 model

Hi!
I am trying to figure out how to use MDT to deploy Windows 8.1 on the new trashcan Mac Pro's.
This is what I've done so far.
Disabled the default Format and partiton step with the property DONOTFORMATANDPARTITION=YES just to get rid of errors at the end, i have alos tried to remove the Volume entries in this step with out the above mentioned property.
In this step i have also set the Disk type to GPT and checked the Create Extra 'Active' Partition
Created a custom answer file to diskpart with the following command
sel dis 0
sel par 4
format fs=ntfs quick override
active
exit
Running my custom diskpart step after the default one.
Changed the default Install Operating System step to install on disk 0 partition 4.
All seems to work fine until the computer reboots and i should start windows to continue with the deploy.
Instead of booting windows it boots into OSX.
I've tried to change the start disk with the OS utility, but it gives the error "The bless tool was unable to set the current boot disk."
Ive tried the exact same thing on a older Macbook Pro, and this works flawless. It seems that Apple dropped some legacy support in the new EFI firmware on the new Mac Pro.
If i try to use bless with the --legacy parameter it tells me "Legacy mode is not supported on this system". I used legacy to boot windows on the older Macbook Pro.
Anyone got this working or have any suggestions?

Solved it!
It's not nice, but hey it works.
Here is how i did it.
I scrapped the idea of using any form of script (Applescript) or other custom stuff.
Instead I just fooled Boot Camp Assistant to think inserted a "BootCamped" USB even tough I inserted the LiteTouchPE_x64 based USB. The only files/folders Boot Camp Assistant looks for seems to be.
$WinPEDriver$
BootCamp
BootCamp\BootCamp.xml
setup.exe
autorun.inf
So just create the folders $WinPEDriver$, BootCamp
Create an empty BootCamp.xml file inside the folder BootCamp
copy setup.exe from the Windows media. (Might work with an empty txt file renamed, havent tested)
copy autorun.inf from the Windows media. (Might work with an empty txt file renamed, havent tested)
Start Boot Camp Assistant, uncheck the first 2 boxes and leave the one about creating a partiton.
Desiced on the BootCamp partition size.
And then next next finish :)

MDT 2012U1 / Windows 8 deployment - impossible to add a role when deploying windows with language pack

Hello,
I am having a problem deploying Windows 8 with language packs and adding at the same time a role/feature (netfx3).
What I have done is creating a Standard Client Task Sequence. In the task sequence I have added, in the State Restore phase, the step Install Roles and Features (where only .Net Framework 3.5 is selected). I have configured nothing else !
If I use this task sequence, everything is ok; Windows 8 is well deployed and NetFx3 feature is installed.
Now, if I add one or more language packs in the MDT console and select them when using the previously created task sequence, the deployment fails with one error : ERROR - NetFx3 role processing with DISM.exe failed, rc = -2146498529.
The language packs are well installed but as the error message says, NetFx3 is not installed.
In the ZTIOSRole.log I can find this :

As you can see, in both logfile, the source are copied from the same folder.
Does anyone have an idea ? what am I missing ?
I have easily reproduced the problem on another computer (installing ADK/MDT, installing OS and creating task sequence).
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,
Workaround:
1. copy stock sxs folder to local disk (e.g c:\sxs)
2. make a direct internet connection (don't use proxy!)
3. open admin command prompt and type: DISM.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:c:\sxs
4. after the successful install find the c:\windows\winsxs folder and sort by date
5. copy new folders (that are equal to current date) to deployment share's sxs folder (overwrite)
And now, try standard MDT install (create "Install Role And Feature" step in the Task Sequence, enable .NET install).

Hi all
I have installed MDT 2013 on a Server 2012 R2 machine and I am having trouble importing any OS. I get an error Part of the path could not be found. If I try and create the directory for MDT it complains and will not let me continue. If the directory is not
there it complains that the directory cannot be found. here is the complete error that is generated.
Performing the operation "import" on target "Operating system".

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is possible that you are hitting the 265 char MAX_PATH Limit.
Ensure that your Deployment share, is not longer than say... 30 chars on your host machine:
d:\Deployment\MDT\TestPath\Version10 <- MIght be too long
d:\Deployment.32423 <- Try this instead

MDT 2013 / ADK 8.1 Language Bug?

Have a new MDT 2013 Deployment with Windows ADK 8.1 Update. Using the following keyboard settings in customsettings.ini and bootstrap.ini for years:
KeyboardLocale=0807:00000807
KeyboardLocalePE=0807:00000807
The Keyboard PE settings do NOT work when the credentials for the connection to the deployment share have to be provided. Have the US keyboard layout. But when I hit F8, I have the correct Swiss German Keyboard Layout in the command window.
Any advice? Thank you in advance for any help

Hi,
Generally, you would use GPT for UEFI systems, MBR for BIOS-based systems, on UEFI-based systems, it will create four partitions (boot, MSR, recovery, OS) on a GPT disk.
It should just work, as soon as you figure out how to enable UEFI “native” mode in the firmware (BIOS) settings and then boot in “native” mode.

Workbench says ADK is not present - MDT 2013

Hey everybody!
I'm doing some deployment testing with MDT but I can't seem to get past a particular error. When I open the Deployment Workbench, it asks me to download the ADK for Windows 8.1. However I can only find ADK for Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 Update 1, no download
for JUST 8.1 (Microsoft, you confused the heck out of people with this one :p).
I also am trying to run the Windows 8.1 Update ADK but it says I need to install the Windows 8.1 ADK before I can install the latest version.
Any suggestions on this? Microsoft should've left all version links up and running for deployment purposes.

It's best to completely ignore the "Components" node in MDT 2013 because it's out of date and incorrect. (It will be removed in the future.) If you have the ADK for Windows 8.1 installed and are using MDT 2013, you're good.
Thanks,
