SCCM 2012 and MDT 2013 PreFlight Checks

Hi,
Can anyone help me with a preflight check in MDT (Winpe) checking for an Active Directory Computer account. By default the pre-flight is before the page which has the field for entering the computer name. If I was to move the page later in the wizard sequence
would I be able to use the variable OSDComputerName. Additional does anyone have any Powershell or vscript code which could query AD for the computer account existence?
As I'll need to authenticate with AD I could use the variables OSDJoinAccount, OSDJoinPassword, OSDDomainName.
Mike

SCCM 2012 R2 With MDT 2012 AND MDT 2013 Side by Side

Currently we're running 2012 R2 CU3 with MDT 2012 integrated into it. We're looking at upgrading to MDT 2013 (whatever the latest update is). What I'm wondering, and can't seem to find any information on, is if we can continue to use our MDT 2012 boot
.wims/OSD Task Sequences/etc until such time as we create and test new ones or are we going to have to update everything right away?

Are you sure you are using MDT *2013* with ConfigMgr 2012 *R2*? That's not a supported configuration and I think there are multiple technical problems with this combination.
The task sequences themselves don't change -- because they are ConfigMgr task sequences -- but the MDT tasks must be updated to use the MDT 2013 tasks. Boot image use is partially dependent upon the OS you are deploying however only WinPE 3.1 and WinPE 5.0
based boot images are supported in R2.
Jason | http://blog.configmgrftw.com | @jasonsandys
Did you mean to ask if we were running MDT 2012 with ConfigMgr 2012 R2? Then yes we are. We did the upgrade from SP1 CU2 to R2 CU3 a couple of weeks ago but haven't upgraded MDT to 2013 yet. That's our next step but we also don't want to take down/break imaging
capability if we can help it (major college, staff/students constantly breaking stuff, etc).

SCCM 2012 R2 MDT 2013 Install Features after OS Install

I have a question in regards to installing Features on Windows Servers Post OS Install/OSD.
I have MDT 2013 integrated with SCCM 2012 R2. I have created a MDT TS doing the following:
Microsoft Deployment Custom Task Sequence (All other ones were for OSD)
I removed all the steps in the TS except for the "Use Toolkit Package"
Added Several MDT Sequence for Install Roles and Features, Selected SNMP for Server 2008, 2008 R2, 2008 R2 Core, 2012, 2012 R2.
Removed the boot image since it is not needed.
Deployed to my Test Collection.
I see the TS Running on the test servers but when I check Server Manager the SNMP is still not installed even though software center shows installed on the TS.
Am I missing something here? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!!

Disregard my previous post. I was tinkering with the Compliance Settings and corrected my ignorance.
Here were my steps:
Create Configuration Item
General: Put the name, Set Type to Window, filter set to "Server"
Supported Platforms: All servers 2008 and newer
Settings: Name,
Discovery Script -PowerShell
$FeatureName = "SNMP-Service"
If (Get-WindowsFeature | Where {$_.State -eq "Enabled" -and $_.FeatureName -eq $FeatureName})
$Compliance = "Compliant"
Else {
$Compliance = "NonCompliant"
Return $Compliance
Remediation Script - PowerShell
$FeatureName = "SNMP-Service"
Import-Module ServerManager
Install-WindowsFeature -Name $FeatureName -IncludeAllSubFeature
Compliance Rule: Name, Rule Type = Value, Must Comply Equals Compliant, Checked Run remediation script when not compliant, set Reports to Information
Created Config Baseline, Assigned Config Item for SNMP Service and then deployed to my Servers.

SCCM 2012 and Exchange 2013 Connector

Hello all,
I hope that you are well!
I have an issue that I can't explain for the moment, maybe someone can help me.
Actually we have SCCM 2012 SP1 and Exchange 2013 Enterprise in our LAN.
Now I did the configuration within SCCM of creating a new Exchange Server Connectors, everything seem's to be okay, no warning, no active alert, the Exchange server connection account and so on..
But I can't see the mobile devices from my user into the All Mobile Devices within SCCM 2012.
Do I miss something into this specific configuration, certificate or something related !
Best regards to all of you

SCCM 2012 R2 & MDT 2013 OSD Refresh - BDEDrive Assigned letter

Hello,
I'm having an issue with my MDT OSD refresh for Win 7 machines. I've capture a Win 7 reference image from a VM using MDT capture TS and I can successfully deploy that image to a bare metal VM
using an MDT integrated SCCM TS. The disk partitions are expected, C:\ is the primary OS and BDEDrive is assigned 500MB and is hidden, no drive letter assigned.

However, when I run a refresh TS to re-deploy the same imaged used in my bare metal TS, the BDEDrive is assigned D:\ and is visible in windows explorer.

Sccm 2012 r2 mdt 2013 integration win 7 refresh

hi ,
I am trying to refresh win 7 and I tried all.. its always apply to d: drive
when I deploy win 7 ts to a new computer alone without refresh its worked ok and apply to c: drive
appreciate any help

Are you using the install.wim from the Win7 DVD? If so, try setting a task sequence variable OSDPreserveDriveLetter equal to FALSE.

SCCM 2012 with MDT intergration OSD

Does anyone have some links or suggested study material with regards to SCCM 2012 with MDT integration. I am specifically looking for the OS deployment.
Most of the stuff I found only cover OSD with SCCM task sequences. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If you download the MDT 2013 documentation from this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40796
You will find two Word documents about integrating MDT 2013 with ConfigMgr 2012. They are called:
Quick Start Guide for System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager
Quick Start Guide for User Driven Installation
You could also have a look at this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Deployment-Fundamentals-Vol-Deploying-Configuration/dp/9197939021/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1400523728&sr=1-4&keywords=arwidmark
It is written for ConfigMgr 2007 and MDT 2010 but most of the steps in the book would be the same on ConfigMgr 2012 and MDT 2013.

DomainOUList.xml and MDT 2013

Having issues using DomainOUList.xml with MDT 2013 it worked fine with MDT 2012 U1. Is there something else I must do?
If this post is helpful please click "Mark for answer", thanks! Kind regards

I don't think that the DomainOUList.xml changed much between MDT 2012 U1 and MDT 2013 (or between MDT 2008 and MDT 2010, and MDT 2012 for that matter).
IF you did an upgrade from a previous version of MDT, watch out, some of the script files may be out of sync. Try a new share to be sure.

Keith,
I agree with you, as the process should work the same. I was using the DomianOuList.xml successfuly in a MDT 2012 U1 with WAIK envirorment, and then performed a upgrade to MDT 2013 with ADK. I have created a new deploymentshare and I am still getting the
same error. Just like in the past here is the DomianOuList.xml.

Domain Join to a specific OU based on Computer Name - ConfigMgr 2012 R2 / MDT 2013

Hi all
i need to build an OS deployment task sequence with ConfigMgr 2012 R2 and MDT 2013. my requirement is to be able to join a computer based on its computer name. there are three types of computers. Sales / Marketing and Technical. based on the prefix of the
computer name i need to place them on 3 different OUs. Computer Names would be SAL1100, MKT1100 or TEC1100, i would like to refer first three characters of the computer name and the decided on which OU they need to be allocated to.
i would appreciate if someone could tell me how i can do this within my task sequence

I don't think you can accomplish this by using conditions. Instead I'd use the script that Jörgen provided. Here's an edit of that so that it would suit your environment requirements of the first 3 characters of the OSDComputerName:
set env = CreateObject("Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment")
sComputerName = env("OSDComputerName")
threeChars = UCase(Left(sComputerName,3))
sBuiltOU = "NOT_set!"
If threeChars = "ABC" Then
sBuiltOU = "LDAP://OU=ABC,OU=Computers,DC=DOMAIN,DC=COM"
If threeChars = "DEF" Then
sBuiltOU = "LDAP://OU=DEF,OU=Computers,DC=DOMAIN,DC=COM"
If threeChars = "GHI" Then
sBuiltOU = "LDAP://OU=GHI,OU=Computers,DC=DOMAIN,DC=COM"
env("OSDDomainOUName") = sBuiltOU
Wscript.quit
Save this as 'SetOU.vbs' and create a package in ConfigMgr where you specify the source content to the location where you placed the script file. As Jason described, put a Run Command Line step right before Apply Windows Settings, use 'cscript.exe SetOU.vbs'
as the command line and point to the package you created. This script assumes that the OSDComputerName variable is already properly populated with the correct computer name.

Install AD / SQL Server 2012 and SharePoint 2013 on a single server as Development Environment

Hi All,
I'm planning to prepare a SharePoint 2013 development environment. The current idea is to install Domain controller, SQL Server 2012 and SharePoint 2013 all on a single server. Even though this is for development purposes,
would there be any limitations specially when it comes to SP 2013 functionalities according to your experience?
Some articles i referred.

SCCM 2012 OSD MDT: documented steps

Hi,
I'd like to document each step taken in a SCCM 2012 R2 MDT task sequence.
Can you refer to information on it (not MDT but MDT integrated in SCCM).
F.e. what does the gather exactly do, where is the computername added (apply windows settings step I guess) etc.

Yes indeed, I should have googled: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/645a77b2-5be6-431d-818c-57d24b1435cc/understanding-mdt-task-sequence

Database instance for SCCM 2012 and WSUS on a single primary site server

I am going to install SCCM 2012 and its SQL database on a single physical server. This is going to be a single primary site server. The default SQL instance will be dedicated to SCCM 2012 with no other named instances to be added on the SQL server down
the road.
During the WSUS server role installation, there is the Database Options page asking for using (1) Windows Internal Database, (2) existing db server on this computer, or (3) an external db server.
Since SCCM 2012 doesn't share db instance with others, how should I handle the WSUS db that's going to be hosted on the same SCCM/SQL physical server? Do I really need to create a separate SQL instance just for the WSUS db?
Thanks and regards.

Even though you can do it, it is the best practice to have SCCM 2012 and WSUS installed on separate instances.

When the Configuration Manager and WSUS databases use the same SQL Server and share the same instance of SQL Server, you cannot easily determine the resource usage between the two applications. When you use a different SQL Server instance
for Configuration Manager and WSUS, it is easier to troubleshoot and diagnose resource usage issues that might occur for each application.

Installing Windows ADK and MDT 2013 without Internet

Hi
I have Windows 8.1 Update 64 bit
on a computer without Internet.
I would like to install Windows ADK
and MDT 2013. What's the proper procedure to
do this?
Thanks
Bye

You need to download the pieces from an internet-connected machine. They can they be copied (USB or whatever) to any machine, even those without an internet connection, to do an installation.
To get the necessary ADK pieces, download ADKSETUP.EXE and run it on the internet-connected machine. It will offer an option to download all the rest of the ADK pieces (make sure you select the right components) into a folder you specify.
The MDT installation is a single MSI file.
Thanks,
