MDT and Thinkpad X140e
My organization recently bought about 40 Thinkpad X140e laptops.
I found the driver pack and imported it into MDT like I had done for our other Dell models, used MDT to deploy Windows 7 x64 and everything worked for the first computer.
After some testing we came to the conclusion that we were ready for a mass deployment and started up the first batch of eight. Three of them succeded; the rest BSOD during the driver installation phase of Windows setup at about 67% and cannot resume.
The strange thing is that if we keep trying to image them they will eventually take an image.
Am I missing something? Is there a trick to using MDT with these Lenovos?
Solved!

We are having the exact same issue but we are using SCCM. I'd love to be able to find a solution. We have used SCCM to deploy other ThinkPads so I believe it something with this particular model.

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,
RobbHi 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

So I want to add applications to my image. I import the image from WDS in MDT. Then I add applications. But how do I add it back again in WDS for PXE. And how does it work?
If your using MDT with WDS then all you need is the boot images imported into WDS and thats it. What happens is when you PXE with those boot images it contacts your deployment share in MDT and then pulls down your image plus your applications.
The below video from Microsoft should help in some step by step instructions to give you an idea of how this works. Please post back if you have more questions. Thanks.

Be kind and Mark as Answer if I helped.
And what about the install image? I have 1 install.wim with updates/drivers. I have 1 boot image. I also configured my autounattend and oobeunattend xml files but I can't add them to my boot image only to my install image.
UPDATE: Do I need to import install.wim or boot.wim in MDT? And then I add applications? Next import it to WDS? -
X220 and ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock - any success?
I've just bought a ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock for my i7 X220 having been at a site last year which had Fujitsu PR08 USB 3.0 replicators - those, once I had installed the driver, worked perfectly with two 1920x1200 displays.
Anyway I can't get my displays (LG IPS235 1920x1080), either via DVI-D or DVI-I with VGA adapter, to work plugged into the dock. They work fine when connected directly to the X220.
I suspect this might be a USB 3.0 issue as it seems the support for USB 3.0 on X220 is not quite what I'd expected (e.g. see https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X220-and-Mini-Dock-Series-3-with-USB-3-0/td-p...).
USB devices connect via the dock, but at USB 2.0 speed (which apparently is to be expected).
I can't see a network device at all (shouldn't it show up as another network adapter in adition to the built-in Intel 82579LM NIC?).
I have removed displaylink software and ThinkPad Dock software (originally I went to the latest 1.7.15 but tried cleaning everything off and using the older version 1.07.04 (no luck) then upgrading to 1.7.15 again).
I'm sure I read that this dock was compatible on a Lenovo spec somewhere. I have been through http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=HT073584
So far it's wasted a lot of time and been very disappointing - I'm kind of wishing I hadn't bothered (I'm not sure if the supplier will take it back as I've opened the packaging etc). Has anyone had any more success with this dock and the i7 X220?
X220 (4287CTO): i7, 16GB, m500 960GB, F5521gw, Win8.1 ~ I use ThinkPad on the road quite a lot. I need an ultrabook (X2*0, X1 Carbon) with 16GB & clickable trackpoint buttons!
Solved!
Go to Solution.A quick update:
Under Windows 7 I couldn't get the dock to work at all well - basically it worked as USB2 hub and that it. This included a long call to Lenovo and reinstalling the ThinkPad dock softare several times, from both the original CD and the latest ones. Note I even installed the latest version of DisplayLink drivers (7.5M1) directly from their site which did work (core went from 7.5.5172.0 to 7.5.54051.0) but gave a useful warning that the USB3 host controller software (Renesas emulation stuff) might need updating (and I found a 2.1.39.0 version, compared to the 2.1.36 Lenovo version, which I tried too - installed but didn't help). DisplayLink also mentioned (here) that Windows 8 had a different way to deal with older USB3 controllers like Renesas.
Anyway, I was all set to try send the dock back and thought I'd try Windows 8.1 (which I'd bought and was thinking of trying out on a new SSD).
On Windows 8.1 the USB 3.0 Dock seems to work fine: display, network and USB ports. Currently I've even got 4 displays running off the X220: 2 x DVI-D in the dock, 1 VGA plugged into the X220 and the built-in screen. I don't suppose this would be any use for games, but for business work it seems to be working fine so far
Note: I installed the latest DisplayLink driver again (mainly because I thought that I was missing transparent borders - turns out that's because Aero Glass has currently gone from Win8!).
For anyone who's interested here's the USB section of device manager - let me know if you need driver versions.

Hello everyone;
We are migrating our WDS 2008 Server to a WDS 2012 Server, and i'm trying to configure MDT to facilitate client deployment. until now, i was able to add an image using a OS install DVD with MDT. We also have some .wim images used on the old WDS, and i'm
trying to exploit them on the new one. So I added one image on MDT, and created a task sequence for it. But when i tested it, i had this error: Failure ( 5624 )
So my question is: is it possible to add those old images to MDT?Thanks for your reply Nick
1- the error appeared when i tried to install the image in a desktop
2- i want to add the old .wim image to MDT to be able to manage them (windows update through WSUS, install new applications...). After that, i add the litetouch PE to WDS
3- BDD.log: the log is too long, i'm able to only paste this part:

N100's and Thinkpads w/ 945PM chipset can't address 3G Ram but Dell Can
From a reply to a NoteBook review Forum:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/archive/index.php/t-136639.html
At work, we have both Dell XPS and IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad laptops. We choose the T60 models for their compactness/weight and reliability, while we choose the XPS M1710 and M2010 for their 17 and 20-inch screens and somewhat faster graphics chips. The ThinkPad T60 computers have problems accessing over 3GB RAM, and that is NOT because of the chipset or the OS that we use, but, it is only because of the incompetent designers/engineers at IBM or Lenovo; let me explain:
We have tried to install both 32-bit and 64-bit version of Vista, Windows Server 2003 R2 STD, Win XP and different dists of LINUX on T60, T60p, Z61, Z61p, Z61m, (X60 and T43) and Lenovo 3000 series, but they simply can NOT access memory over 3GB (X60 and T43 can not support that since their chipset seem to have accessing issues over the magic 3GB, but we tried anyway)
We also tried the same thing on Dell XPS M1710 and M2010, and they could access almost the ENTIRE 4 GB installed even with 32-bit version of Windows Vista (BTW, 32-bit Vista can access 16 GB RAM with the right chipset so...). Of course, now you can guess that it was no problem with the 64-bit version of the OS:es we tried.
The Dell XPS M1710 and M2010 use exactly the same chipset found in T60 and Z60 series (Mobile Intel 945PM Express Chipset). In December 2006, we even opened a T60p (model 2007 8JG) and compared the chipset with the Dell XPS M1710, and well, I suppose that you have already guessed that it was the same chipset in both machines.
Honestly, I hoped that we would find the Mobile Intel 945 GM or GMS chipset in the T60 laptops (those chipsets seem to have this 3GB limit), since we had a BIG argue with the support guys at Lenovo, and they came with totally silly answers why the computers can not access over 3GB RAM. They even asked me what I need 4GB RAM for!! Can you imagine that?! You can ask ANY programmer/developer who works with virtual machines (both VPC and VMWare or even Parallels) and everyone will tell you that you can not have too much RAM!!! And it IS A BIG difference between 3GB and 4GB. However...
Now, we have heard rumors that HP NX94xx also can access 4GB RAM installed, but I can not confirm it myself, since I have not seen it myself.
And now, regarding to your post about mixing 2GB SO-DIMM with 1GB SO-DIMM, I would not recommend it. The 2GB SO-DIMM memory modules are pretty cheap now, and besides, you will lose a lot of speed mixing 2GB with 1GB memory modules. Just try different benchmarking programs and you will see. If you want to see quick results without a lot of installations, try Memtest86+
However, I think that it is very rotten that IBM/Lenovo does not care about their customers and lets a lot of incompetent technicians answer the phone. I have tried to come in contact with higher bosses and engineers, but they are simply unavailable. But it must be a way that we customers can make them hear us.. I only do not know how! :-/
And so, here ends my first (and long) post in here!

Supporting greater than 4GByte isn't easy. It could be a piece of hardware in the Lenovo/IBM laptops that are preventing greater than 3GByte which might be resolved by a driver update.
Some info here: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/server/PAE/PAEdrv.mspx
I agree Lenovo support hasn't been very good as they could have provided some information themselves or offered to look into it.

Hi,
Currently, we are using an MDT environment (2012) to do our OS deployments. Configmgr is used to install and update applications. We would like to terminate the use of the PXE server on the MDT box and use the PXE boot via configmgr.
If I enable the pxe boot on the MDT box the task sequences on already configured on Configmgr are visible and are working.
How can I add an extra "line" in the pxe boot menu, when selected launch the "old" MDT task sequences on de MDT box?
Thank YouI think he is just looking to be able to boot from either boot disc, basically a menu of which boot image to boot from.
I know this is possible, but cannot find a good guide online. I found a few starting points.

Solaris 8 and Thinkpad keyboards
Hi,
I've succesfully installed Solaris 8 on my Thinkpad 600 and also on VirtualPC on my Thinkpad T30. On both systems I have the same problem:
While installing I choosed a German Keyboard Layout. Now everthing works exceptt the key with <,> and | does not work (it does not create any character) . On Thinkpad Laptops with german keyboard layout that's the key beetween the leftt shift key and the Y.
All other keys (incl. the Umlaute) work fine. The behaviour is the same on the console and while running CDE.
I already found the necessary file to change the keycodes. But : I don't know the keycode for the key. How can I detect this key?
It seems, that the codes used by Solaris are different to the codes used in DOS for example.
regards
BerndThe hardware is VME based. Solaris 8 had previously been working correctly on the hardware but on a much smaller 50pin SCSI drive (less than 10GB). The larger drives (72 and 146) are 68pin and a converter is used.
I cloned the smaller drive and put the image on the larger 146GB drive. Every thing seems to be working, but when I tried to format the remaining free space I noticed the drive geometry parameters were giving a size of about 20GB. That when I decided to use another drive (72GB) to check. The 72GB drive gave a size of about 30GB. In both cases the size is wrong.
I don't think it's a hardware issue, as I have also tested the same setup with Ubuntu 10.10, which works fine and reported the correct capacity.
do you remember if you needed to do anything special to get that 1.5TB file system? -
MDT and capture & sysprep existing machine
Hi,
In a few special situations I need to be able to capture and sysprep existing physical machine. In MDT there is this Sysprep & Capture task sequence template. I think it's just what I need, but I have read somewhere before that it shouldn't be used for
some reason. Is anyone actually using this?Generally, if you are deploying to *more* than one make and model of machines, the recommended procedure is to build your images within Virtual Machines like Hyper-V (which is free on Windows 8.1), When you build using virtual machines, Windows won't need
to load any extra Drivers into your image that will be unnecessary on other machines.
However... If you have a lot of machines that are all of the same make/model and installation speed is important, then sure, imaging via a physical source is OK.

Customer sent us a preconfigured physical machine and we just need to capture image from that and deploy it to few hundred identical machines.
I have previously used manual sysprep process and after that use DISM to read hard disk to WIM file. Then import WIM to mdt. That works but too much manual work. -
ThinkPad Twist s230u and ThinkPad x201 Tablet Creating Recovery Media
Hi Lenovo Customer Support,
ThinkPad s230u( model number: 3347CTO) - Window 8 Pro.
Before I start using my Laptop, I want to create a Recovery Media as is shown when installed with all partitions. Meaning if I format all contents of Laptop I want a recovery Media brings back computer as I go it in the first place include all partitions. By default there are five hidden partition and one ntfs.
What is the procedure how to Create a Recovery Media? I heard only Flash Recovery exist for Window 8.
Also I have Window 8 Pro but when I tried this link procedure http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/Create-Win-8-recovery-media-in-ThinkPad-Thi... I saw only Window 8 option and even then it reboot and did not work.
Also I did Flash Recovery and Took Faster with USB 3.0 Flash around 10 min around 16GB Space
Is it possible to do CD Recovery too ?
ThinkPad x201 Tablet(Model Number: 30933PG) - Wundow 7 Pro
Can you do Flash Recovery Media and CD Recovery Media under Window 7 Pro Enviro.
If you upgrade Hard drive to 1T and RAM to 16 G RAM , Can you Still do the Recovery Media?
What is the Procedure to successfully create Recovery Media.
Thanks.
saadReasons am asking this questions:
Sometime you test your computer doing a lot of things learning new technologies etc and suddenly you decide ok I want to take it back to factory state. Until now, most Thinkpad laptop does not come with recovery media. So how can I assure that my Recovery Media includes everything I used to have when I first receive unit.
I want to learn how to do that by myself by learning from the experts.
Until now what I know as follow:
ThinkPad x201:
I tried recovery media 3 DVD only with original hard drive works. I did not try Flash and not sure there is option yet.
If I upgrade unit with 1T hard drive and 16G Ram, How can I do Recovery Media?
ThinkPad Twist s230u:
I tried Flash and followed procedure on link in previous post. I took me less than 15 min to recovery whole. The question is does this process recover all the parts that is included when I receive unit.
I was unable to do recovery since I am not sure when in the Flash and during process showed to choose operating system was only Window 8 option not Window 8 Pro which came with unit.
I was able to do reset within system took longer and worked.
Is the recovery part build-in in the hardware or software partition? Is it included in the recovery Flash with all partitions?
Thank You. Awaiting for anyone to reply.

MDT and computer with SSD drives causes warnings
Has anyone noticed that computers with SSD drives are causing task sequence errors with MDT. I think that some machines boot too fast and the network is not ready yet. Deployments dont fail, but they end with error message.

Is your DHCP server just slow and/or overwhelmed? What about PortFast?
Get your network guys to document the latency of DHCP request for your location. If necessary, have them do a trace.

Using MDT and Thin installer on multiple servers
Is there a way to configure the thininstaller.exe.configuration to point to a dynamic path. We have multiple locations where MDT is deployed, and we don't want the PC to connect over our WAN links when the Thin Installer runs.
I thought I read somewhere that in the file I could do something like this:
<Default Gateway>
<10.10.1.1=\\Location1\repository>
<10.10.2.1=\\Location2\repository>
<10.10.3.1=\\Location3\repository>
<*.*.*.*=\\DefaultLocation\repository>
I checked the Integrating ThinkVantage Update and Retriever and ThinInstaller with MDT 2010, but the part that talks about configuring the file makes no mention of using multiple servers.
ThanksThere is not a mechansim as you describe built into ThinInstaller. There are, however, various ways you can invoke Thin Installer which might accommodate your end goal.
Usually people that have this need have some kind of data value on the target device that lets them know which repository they should be pulling from. Sometimes a network share is used and that share is established earlier in the deployment process to point to a local server. Sometimes an environment variable is used. The command line of ThinInstaller allows for you to specify the path to the repository at execution time. The calling of ThinInstaller can be performed by a script or cmd file that determines the correct repository path to pass to ThinInstaller.
You can find more details on controlling ThinInstaller in this document: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/thinkvantage_en/tvsu4_mst_en.pdf
Without knowing a lot more details about your environment I'm not sure how to better guide you. You might try posting in the Enterprise / IT Management forum and see if any of the folks there have done this already. -
Windows 7 and ThinkPad Z61t 9440-CTO
I'm running XP, 3 megs Ram, will I be able to upgrade to Windows 7?
Thanks,
HaroldHarold,
I see no reason why Windows 7 would not run well on your Z61t. Unfortunately, I can't figure out what is in your system because it was a Configure to Order system, but 3 GB ram will help. Remember that Windows 7 is what Vista should have been. It's Vista all fixed up and well oiled.
On a related note, if you want absolute stability, DON'T UPGRADE. Backup your data and do a CLEAN install. i.e. during the install, delete existing partitions and let Windows 7 reformat everything. Then install the Windows 7 ThinkPad drivers and voila, you should have a rock solid and fast laptop. That's what I have...

W520 and ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock (A033970) - Issues
I finally received my ThinkPad USB 3.0 dock today after a long delivery time from order. The basic USB 3.0 functions fully work, but I'm having some issues with the software that is supposed to control the dock for audia and video. In addition, Smart Audio will fail to initialize if I have the USB audio adapter enabled in the control panel (see below):
The user guide states that the control icon should be in the notification tray, but it is never there unless I first go to devices, right -click on the dock icon, and then select "Check for Updates" The icon will then appear for a brief time and then vanish. No setting of the tray customizations will keep it visible. This appears to be a bug. Also, the installation instructions are flawed in that the system will pick up the drivers from Windows Update BEFORE you get a chance to load from the supplied driver CD. The correct installation is to first load the CD, install the software, and THEN connect the USB cable for the dock.
Has anyone else had experience with the W520 and this dock? It is a slick hardware package for certain. I'd just like to get the control software setup to where it should be enabled.
FYI, here is the PCI tree for the setup:

The icon will ONLY appear if a monitor is attached to the dock. Otherwise, you need to access the controls via the Device Menu in Windows. The User Guide needs to be updated with the proper operational guidance. I wasted several hours debugging the issue only to determine that it was a known constraint of the chipset!
The following is from the DisplayLink website:
Why does the DisplayLink UI not appear in the Windows system tray?
ID: 327 - Updated: Jun 29, 2012 - Category: Troubleshooting
Symptom
The DisplayLink UI icon is not seen in the system tray. The DisplayLink UI icon is shown below:
Problem
This can occur if:
A DisplayLink device has not been detected connected to the computer. The icon will only appear if a DisplayLink device is connected. Please refer to this article to diagnose if your DisplayLink device has been detected
If you have a product based on the DL-3000 (USB 3.0) family, the DisplayLink UI will only appear if a DisplayLink device has been detected AND a monitor is connected to the video output. The DL-3000 family implements monitor detection and the DisplayLink UI will only be shown in the system tray when a DisplayLink device and a display is detected.
Solution
Ensure the a DisplayLink device is connected to the computer and a monitor is connected to the video output of the DisplayLink device.
