MDT Boot Credentials Error

Hi All-
I am trying to learn MDT 2010. I have imported out of box drivers and have created my boot and install WIM files.
This server at work was previously working fine and I tried to modify the customsettings.ini and bootstrap.ini files so I wouldn't have to use a username/password/domain to connect. For some reason I am still getting the error, "A connection to the
deployment share (UNC PATH HERE) could not be made. Connection OK. Possible cause: invalid credentials."
Here is my customsettings.ini file (Rules Tab on the MDT Deployment Share):
[Settings]
Priority=Default
Properties=MyCustomProperty
[Default]
OSInstall=Y
SjipAppsOnUpgrade=YES
SkipCapture=YES
SkipProductKey=YES
SkipLocaleSelection=YES
KeyboardLocale=en-US
UserLocale=en-US
UILanguage=en-US
SkipTimeZone=Yes
TimeZone=035
TimeZoneName=Eastern Standard Time
SkipUserData=Yes
_SMSTSORGNAME=(our company name)
EventService=http://IT-ESS:9800
SkipBitLocker=YES
My bootstrap.ini file:
[Settings]
Priority=Default
[Default]
DeployRoot=(UNC PATH TO Deployment Share)KeyboardLocale=en-US
Any ideas on what I've failed to change back to default? Could it be a setting elsewhere I've forgotten about?
Just trying to learn the ropes.
Thanks-
-Tom

Boot into WinPE, Press F8, view the content of the X:\Deploy\Scripts\Bootstrap.ini file, and try to connect via net use using the same info.

MDT user credentials error: Invalid credentials: The network path was not found

I have DELL E5400 and DELL Optiplex 760 pc. In the before, DELL630 is working with my MDT service, but now, DELL E5400 and DELL Optiplex 760 not working with my MDT.
When PE loaded and go to User Credentials interface, I input the user name and password(I confirm the user name and password is correct), it will display error message "Invalid credentials: The network path was not found". I checked that the network driver is correct.
After search some information in the website, someone said that maybe the network initializing timeout issue, so I according to Tim Quan guide to add following to startnet.cmd
wpeutil InitializeNetwork
ping localhost
wpeinit
Then I update the deploy location in MDT and then re-loaded it again, but unlucky, I still meet the same issue. I tried to use ipconfig /all command to check the network status, I couldn't find out local network connection. I click "Cancel" to check the error message, it will display"A connection to the deployment share could not be made. The deployment will not proceed. DHCP lease was not obtained for any networking device!Possible cause: check physical connection".
It seems that PE not loaded network driver successfully, but it is very strange that the network driver is correct.
Have someone can help me?
Thanks a lot

MDT Boot Image Creation Error: The server did provide a meaningful reply

I'm creating an mdt boot image in SCCM 2012 SP1. When I first configured MDT integration everything worked fine (version 6.1.2373). Then after creating 2 boot images, I went to create a 3rd, that's when I started having problems. The wizard starts, copies
the wim file, adds the standard components, then goes to add the winpe-dismcmdlets. After a few minutes this error comes up.
However, I went to check the pemanager.log file in the appdata\local\microsoft\temp\1\pemanager.3392 folder and it was adding the .net 4 components (after the error had already come up). I also opened up the dism.log file. The .net install completed without
error and then the winpe-dismcmdlets install started and finished without error. All this was after the error occured, so the process kept running after the error. This continues to happen after a reboot of the site server.
Log from pemanager.log:

I tried removing the mdt integration, uninstalling mdt, reboot, install mdt, configure mdt integration. Error occurs whenever an additional component tries to install .net4 or if it installs directly. This is on an almost brand new install
of the sccm site server on sever 2012. Any ideas?

For me disabling the anti virus software (TrendMicro OfficeScan) solved the problem.

MDT Boot Image Creation

I just upgraded my SCCM 2012 RTM to SP1 and then to R2

You need to remove the old MDT integration components and then reintegrate MDT with the new R2 installation of Configuration Manager by running the Configure ConfigMgr Integration utility from the start menu (inside the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit folder)
, if your on Server 2012 make sure you run the utility as an administrator (elevated) otherwise it will fail.
If you haven't already done so you will also need to update MDT to 2013 as 2012 Update 1 isn't supported in R2.
Its also a good idea to create new MDT Integrated Task Sequences and copy over any custom actions from your old ones to the new ones.

Create MDT Boot Image Fails

I'm trying to create MDT boot images using MDT 2012 U1 on CM 2012 R2 but I keep getting this error message as desribed by this entry on
James Bannan's blog
The suggested fix/workaround is to launch the CM console as administrator. I've tried that with no success and wondered if anyone else has seen this and perhaps knows what the problem is? Any help would be appreciated. Merry Christmas!

Thanks, is 2013 required or recommended? The guys running the server re-installed WAIK and the process completed successfully.

R61 R&R won't start after "unmountable boot volume" error

Hello all,
New user, first post - after problem, of course.
I have an R61 Thinkpad with Windows XP on it. (SP2 or SP3, not sure). Has worked flawlessly for years, then the other day I got the dreaded "unmountable boot volume" error and it would not start.
No problem - I re-start, hit the ThinkVantage button, then hit F11 to use the R&R hidden on a separate partition of the hard drive........I get the black screen with the big progress bar, ok, then a blue screen......then nothing. Hangs up and sits there. I have repeated this about 5 times now.
No problem! - I was smart enough to make an R&R CD set a while ago! Put the primary R&R disk in the CD drive, start the machine, ThinkPad button, F12 this time to choose boot from CD.....much CD activity ensues and I once again get the black screen with the big progress bar. It takes much longer, and I get teh blue screen - BUT - then it goes one extra step to display the "ThinkVantage Rescue & Recovery 4" screen with the life preserver image.
Excellent, I thing - except it then hangs there. Just sits there. No disk activity. No keys will do anything.
I can find no threads here or on any other forum with this particular issue.
Am I fubar? Or is there something else I can do?
Thanks a bunch.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi jim, welcome to the forums,
Is the hard drive recognised in BIOS, was there an entry in the boot list against HDD0?
Regardless of it being shown in BIOS / boot list or not, the first thing I would do is to reseat the hard drive and see if that helps, maybe over time it's lost contact to the mainboard socket. If you don't know how to do this you can find out at the R61 movies site.
The next thing I would do is run a hard drive diagnosis check from a bootable cd, these can be downloaded from all HDD manufacturer's websites e.g. Hitachi's Drive Fitness Test. It may be that the drive has simply gone bad after all those years of work.
Let us know how you get on

Unmountable Boot Volume error in Z61T

Hi Members,
I just encountered the the Error Unmountable Boot volume error(Blue Screen) in my Z61T Think pad laptop.
I'm not sure what caused this error. Is it possible to fix the error?
I tried to go in to Recovery Console using XP CD and then repair the OS, but unfortunately when i go to repair mode i get another error which says unable to recognize the hard drive. Im really confused as of what is the exact problem with my laptop and also im worried about that data.
appreciate if anyone can throw some light in to the issue and help me out in fixing the same.
Thanks
Rajesh

If you believe that your hard disk/file system may be corrupted, try using any bootable diagnostic cd.They are operating system independent and will let you know if your HDD is getting corrupted.
Try the data life guard diagnostics(bootable).

Hp mini 110 boot disk error after installing new hard drive and system recovery

Need help, HP mini 110 Windows 7 32 bit. using my recovery disks I created i was able to recover to the old 160 gb hard drive. After I installed new 320 Gig drive and used my recovery disks i now get boot disk error. Looks like system was installed on new drive. but will not boot to complete set up.

If you use the recovery disk, your machine will restore to its default factory state. Try to reinstall the 320 GB you have if you want it to get back.

PowerQuery API connection credentials error.

Hi Folks
I am trying to use PowerQuery to connect to an API from a website (Chargify.com). I have an API key that is definitely correct. Documentation outlines that the URI to connect to the API should be in the format - https://<subdomain>.chargify.com/<resource
URI> so I am using something like https://MY_COMPANY_SUBDOMAIN.chargify.com/subscriptions
However I get a credentials error when I try and connect (see screenshot). Chargify support think this error is linked to a issue with PowerQuery rather than an actual credentials issue. Hs anyone stuck a similar problem and resolved it?
Cheers
Steve

When I go to the documentation for chargify.com (https://docs.chargify.com/api-authentication), it says that you should be using Basic authentication -- with the API key as the user name and the
letter "x" as the password.

No Bootable Device - Insert Boot Disk Error...

Ok so today I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit on my 750GB Toshiba HDD in my Optibay and was installed successfully, installed all the Drivers from Windows Support flash drive and when I try to reboot into Windows 7 I get the "No Bootable Device - Insert Boot Disk Error" everytime!! lol What the heck is going on here??

So, I encountered the same problem...
When I click the icon in bootcamp to install windows, after a bit of activity the Windows installation disc was spit put, the screen goes black and the error "No Bootable Device Insert Book Disk Press Any Key to Continue" appears on the screen. And nothing else but using the OSX installation disc helps.
I realised that the windows installation disc did not even spin up.
So what I did... I went back to OSX, reinserted windows installation disc, went to system preferences, selected the windows cd as a start up disc and locked it against the changes.
After that I went back to bootcamp and clicked gain to install windows. Everything worked fine now.
I just tried this and it didn't work for me. I keep getting a black screen with a cursor flashing in the upper left hand corner.

All Windows I Install return boot\bcd error

Have a l645d-s4040.
Im Lost now.. I've read many threads similar to my problem, or exactly like my problem. Ive tried it all, and done at least 12 Different installs. heres the info:
Bought it brand new, was unaware of making the restoration disks until it was too late.
I had a virus, so I did "clean all" in diskpart, at the cmd prompt. So i can start fresh. I have a retail version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, which was the original OS. went through the installation process fine, until the reboot where its supposed to go through the second step of the installation. on reboot i get a "bcd\boot" error. Ive tried repairing the MBR, the Boot record, ive tried using align=1024, ive tried using paragon, and acronis to fix the boot record. Ive tried using boot managers. Ive tried installing windows vista, ive tried windows 7 ultimate 64 and 32 bit versions.. the only OS i can get to install is XP.. Im at a loss
of course of done : Startup Repair (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/681-startup-repair.html)
So after the first step of of installation, which goes fine then reboots to continue the installation i get:
Windows Boot Manager
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click “Next.”
3. Click “Repair your computer.”
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configurations data.
Enter= Continue ESC=Exit
so i reboot with the install cd. which i downloaded from www.mydigitallife.info/windows-7-iso-x86-and-x64-official-direct- download-links-ultimate-professional-and-home-premium/.
And ran the startup repair, first time no OS found and failed to save startup options. rebooted and this time the repair worked and it booted fine running the 2nd step of the installation process.. on the reboot i got same boot\bcd error.. so i repeated the repair steps above.. it finally booted and finalized the installation.. i got to the desktop fine and installed all my drivers. when i rebooted i got the same error.
WHATS UP WITH THIS???

I would restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media, which you can obtain from Toshiba.

Pavillion Boot Disk Error

My son's Pavilion g6 has two users, his and mine. When I log in as mine, the computer seems to work fine, in and out of Safe Mode. When I log in as his user, I get the blue screen data dump, then a boot disk error. Here is what I have tried:
Restore on my user
Windows security scan (which didn't finish before shutting down)
Booting with Safe Mode on his user (didn't work)
Took out the hard disk, sprayed with compressed air and reinserted the hard drive
What options do I have? Can I delete his user? Could it be a virus? I am stumped.
I can get to all of his files but I can't stay logged on with his user.
Thanks.

Yes you can delete his user account and create a new one. Just be sure to copy his files if he has stuff he doesn't want to lose. Restart the machine before trying o create a new user account for him.

MDT boot image and when we try to PXE boot it won't get the IP Address.

We created a custom MDT boot image and when we try to PXE boot it won't get the IP Address.
I press F8 and type IPCONFIG we get Windows IP Configuration. We are using vmxnet3 network adapter.
I think I need to inject 32-bit vmxnet3 driver to the custom MDT boot image which is 32-bit.
We are using it to deploy Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 operating System.
Can I just use the 32-bit custom MDT boot image or do I need to use 64-bit Custom MDT Boot Image?
Also Is there a blog on how to inject vmxnet3 driver to boot image?

You can try this:
http://mwesterink.wordpress.com/2013/12/03/configmgr-2012-obtaining-vmxnet3-nic-drivers-for-vmware-virtual-machines/
Honestly, your best bet is to use a different adapter (E1000). I personally have had no luck getting the vmxnet3 driver to work properly in WinPE. It's either really, really slow or it simply doesn't load at all.
