WDS and Surface Pro 2

I have a Windows Deployment Server and I am using Windows ADK to load essential drivers onto my boot/install images.
I downloaded the latest Surface Pro 2 driver pack and used DISM to load drivers on to an offline boot image from a Windows 8.1 ISO. I then un-mount the image and load it onto my WDS server.
My problem is the Surface Pro 2 won't pxe boot into my Windows Deployment Server. When I PXE boot, it displays media present and then waits for user input to start PXE over IPv4. I press enter but it times out and then prompts for IPv6 (no error given) when
that times out it boots the machine into windows.
I had been successfully imaging Surface Pro tablets from this deployment server using the same methods, but we recently got in the Surface Pro 2 and I haven't been able to get it working.
I have the latest version of MDT installed but I'm not that familiar with it. When we first started deploying tablets I had attempted to create boot wims with MDT but I never got it working and decided just to use the WADK and DISM.
Any ideas on what I could try next?

I am running WDS on Windows server 2008 R2.
I am using a Type Cover 2 from Microsoft.
I am using the Microsoft Surface Ethernet Adapter. I loaded the drivers for the adapter into the boot image as well as the other drivers from the February driver pack.
Thank you for your response.

  • I need assistance syncing between my iMac and Surface Pro 3

    I just installed the Trial of Creative Cloud in both my latest version of iMac and Surface Pro 3. What I would ideally like to do is work on my iMac when I am at home and then when I and on business trips work in my Surface Pro 3, with any edits syncing between both devices seamlessly... can someone please help!!!

    with any edits syncing between both devices seamlessly.
    Using which Adobe software specifically?
    There are many apps and the syncing process varies depending on which you are using.

  • How to work with both desktop and Surface pro 3

    Hello,
    I have a desktop for my normal use of Adobe Creative Cloud for Photoshop and Lightroom.  I have my lightroom catalog on a separate external drive.  I just got Surface pro 3 to do Adobe on it.  I am now confused on how to work on Surface and how to access my Lightroom catalog.
    Thanks for your help.

    Just install Lightroom on your Surface Pro, plug-in the external drive, and double-click the LR catalog file.

  • Mouse and Touchpad settings Windows 8.1 and Surface Pro 3

    I have a Surface Pro 3 running Windows 8.1.   I noticed that I can no longer use the right or left clicks when using the touch pad on the Surface Pro 3 keyboard. 
    When I go to PC Settings - PC and devices - Mouse and Touchpad I only see the section for the Mouse, touchpad does not display.
    This is occurs with a domain user account.  If I log in as a domain admin (different account) the touchpad settings now appear.  Does anyone have any thoughts?
    If I make the original user and admin or domain admin the results don't change, the touchpad settings still do not display.

    Hi,
    It's hard to troubleshoot since I have no specific Surface pro to do a test.
    Based on your description, when you add the promblematic user account to domain administrator group, the touchpad setting still not appear.
    I suggest you recreate a new local user either admin or standard to check if it could get the correct setting.

  • LR and Surface Pro 3

    Adobe made a big play about how well PS worked on the Surface Pro 3, but I have just got a SP3 and I find that LR (and PS) has serious failings.
    Background: I have a CC subscription for LR and PS, and I have the i7, 8mb, 512gb version of the SP3.
    In particular, in LR (and PS), the stylus right-click options (upper button click, or hold-down) are not recognised. A mouse works, but not the stylus. These options are vital for e.g. points curve editing. I bought the SP3 mainly for photo editing and management while travelling; I'd prefer not to bring a mouse with me.
    Also, in LR the CTRL and SHIFT keys are vital, but on the SP3 you need the physical keyboard to access them properly; the screen keyboard implementation is too clumsy. Perhaps I'm asking for too much here, but I'd hoped for a slicker adaptation to the SP3.
    I am more likely to use LR than PS while travelling, but my question really applies to both.
    Am I missing something? Is better optimisation of LR and PS in the works?

    I do not use lightroom Photoshop runs well on the surface pro 3. You may have a problem with the size of Photoshop's UI. CC 2014 2x UI option works Photoshop UI almost all  Photoshop UI fits one screen withe the 2x UI option enabled.   You would be wise to add a bluetooth mouse. And if you want to use Photoshop im tablet mode without a keyboard look into touchkey. Adobe need to create new touch friendly UI for managing tools use as you uses them.
    For older versions of Photoshop CC and prior you can make a  registry mod and add external Photoshop Manifest to have Widdows scale what Photoshop display. Here is a comparison  of CC 2014 2x UI and Windows scaling. The big difference is Windows scaling also scale the image Photoshop  to a lower resolution while 2x UI does not. Windows scaling presets are 100% 1x,  125% 1.25x, 150%, 1,5x and 200% 2x.

  • Windows Deployment Services and Surface Pro 2

    The issue I am seeing is when trying load the Windows Boot Manager, before selecting a boot image. The boot manager is loading in the lower 1/4 of the screen. It will not move past this loading screen and seeing how it is not displaying correctly, I cannot
    see if there is an error. I am guessing this is a WDS server setting, we are running 2008 R2. However, I don't know what step this would be. It is before the boot image is loaded and I do not think this is a part of Windows PE.
    (see below)
    Thanks.

    check here: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/DHCP_Server
    you will probably need to use these:
    Sub-menu: /ip dhcp-server network
    next-server (this may need to be set to the ip address of your WDS, so that your RouterBoard performs a referral to your WDS)
    [this may be the only thing you need, if all your computers are on the same subnetwork]
    otherwise you might need to explore these:
    boot-file-name (not sure about this one)
    dhcp-option (the usual options needed are option 66 and option 67)

  • Surface Pro 3 Display/Video/Graphics Driver Issues - DisplayPort, External Monitors, Windows 10 Build 9926

    Surface Pro 3 - i5 with Intel HD Graphics 4400
    Windows 10 build 9926
    All Latest updates installed
    Intel Graphics Driver 10.18.15.4079.
    Latest system update released on Jan 22nd (which I understand is just the latest intel graphics driver?). 
    The display driver status has this error message: Windows has stopped this device because it
    has reported problems. (Code 43)  - I assume it's
    reverting to the basic Microsoft driver when this occurs. Which explains why my displayport (External monitors) will not work.
    I have uninstalled the driver completely (and deleted the driver files), tried the Windows basic driver,
    and rebooted several times with no luck.
    I cannot get my docking station displayport or the  displayporton my surface pro 3 working. 
    According to Microsoft (see below), this is a known issue UNTIL you update to display driver
    version 4079  - which I have.  
    Known issues on Surface after updating to Windows 10 January Technical Preview
    On Surface Pro 2 and Surface Pro 3, the Mini DisplayPort won’t work on the Windows 10 January Technical Preview until you’ve installed graphics driver 4079 or later. Check Windows Update often for the most recent graphics driver.
    On Surface Pro 2 and Surface Pro 3, you’ll notice poor graphics rendering on the Windows 10 January Technical Preview until you’ve installed graphics driver 4079 or newer from Windows Update. Check Windows Update often for the most recent graphics driver.
    If you’re using video driver 3496, you may need to start in safe mode and remove that driver. Then restart Surface in normal mode and go to Windows Update to get the most recent graphics driver.

    Hi Nicholas,
    Similar issue has been asked here:
    Surface Pro 3 restarting after a series of blank screens!
    For error code 43, here is a reference:
    Code 43: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems
    For the current situation, please try to wait for the driver update, as display driver version 4079 didn't work well at your side, please submit this through Windows Feedback Tool.

  • Surface Pro 3 / "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter"

    Hi all,
    I've been running the Windows 10 Technical Preview (9926) on my Surface Pro 3 successfully
    since January. Unfortunately, I lost all internet connectivity today.
    The problem started when I noticed the type cover wasn't working (pressing keys on the type
    cover wasn't registering any typing on my screen) and my USB mouse wasn't working either. I tried removing and reattaching the type keyboard but this didn't fix the issue. I had to use the accessibility on-screen keyboard to sign into Windows (thankfully touch
    was still working). Once I signed in, I still didn't have typing or cursor ability, so I decided to restart the computer.
    Then it got worse. I noticed the Surface Pro 3 was stuck on "restarting" and wouldn't
    actually restart. Since it wasn't responding, I held down the power button for about 10 seconds until it turned off. When I turned it back on, the type cover and mouse started working again.
    Unfortunately, this is when the WIFI problems began. I had WIFI for a few seconds, and then
    I lost internet. I disconnected/reconnected but there was a yellow triangle telling me there was some sort of problem. So I restarted the Surface Pro 3.
    When it came back on, there were suddenly NO connections available at all. Opening the "Network
    & Internet" settings page gave me the message "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter". And here I am, without internet on my Surface Pro 3, borrowing my friend's computer so I can type this message (he is also running
    Windows 10 build 9926 on his laptop and is able to connect to my WIFI with no problems, whereas my Surface Pro 3 cannot even detect any networks). I have not dropped or damaged the SP3 in any way, and there have been no storms or power outages or anything
    of that sort. Any ideas what could have happened to the WIFI on my Surface Pro 3?
    Thanks for your help...

    Hi Ethan,
    Currently, there are a few compatibility issue between the current hardware and Windows 10 Technical Preview (9926 build), this is mostly related to driver compatibility issue.
    I suggest you download the latest network adapter driver package to install, when it is finished, check if it appears under Device Manager.
    Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 2, and Surface Pro firmware and driver packs
    https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/networking-and-connectivity/install-wireless-drivers
    You can check if you can install the latest firmware package for your device.
    Here is an article to talk about such things:

  • Trouble with deploying Win 8.1 and Office 2013 to Surface Pro 2

    Setup; Win2012R2, WDS 6.3.9600.16384, MDT 2013 (6.2.5019.0), Surface Pro 2 128GB, MS USB Ethernet adapter
    Issue 1: the TFTP transfer of the PE image is Extremely slow. 10 Mbps. Have tried to adjust Maximum Block Size without any improvement.
    Issue 2: When I try to deploy both Windows 8.1 and Office 2013 the TS fails. It will not (start) installing the Application - the log confirms that it starts the script, but ends up with ZTI Heartbeat forever.
    If I install Windows first and after the OS installation connect to the MDT server and start a TS With just Office 2013 it works without problem.
    The disturbing part here is that if I use the same TS With both OS and Office on a Hyper-V Virtual machine it works...
    Have anyone seen this before?

  • Problem push and hold on a Surface Pro tablet's touch screen

    Hi,
    I tried posting this before, but I can't find my origional post so I hope I'm not spamming accidentally.
    I have a problem with my program on a Windows 8.1 Surface Pro tablet. I programmed a button to be 'push-and-hold', but when I touch the tablet nothing happens until I release my finger. This briefly controls the button. When I connect a USB mouse to the tablet, it responds normally; when I press the left mouse button: the button in my program goes down until I release the mouse button. I tried about every setting in the Touch section of the Windows control panel without any succes.
    Does anyone have a suggestion?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Press and hold on a Surface pro touch screen

    Hi,
    I am having some problems with my Surface Pro, trying to control a relay 'press-and-hold'. When I connect a mouse to the Tablet, Windows registers the left mouse up and down events perfectly, allowing the user to control the relay exactly the way I intended, but when I use the touch screen with either the stylus pen or my finger it only seems to press the LabVIEW on release.
    Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
    Chris

    I just tested this on my touchscreen laptop and got a similar behavior. Windows doesn't seem to be registering the left click when you touch the screen until you release. My guess is that this is related to the press+hold for right click functionality on Windows. When I touch and hold for over a second, I get a right click, but when I touch and hold for a shorter time, I get a left click that only registers when I take my finger off. This is consistent with the way that the Windows UI handles touch as well (test the start button for an example).
    Interestingly, if I change the mechanical action of the LabVIEW boolean to 'Switch Unit Released' I can't actually toggle the button ever because the press and hold does not register as a left click, and eventually registers as a right click.

    Actually, this is expected behavior.  Try clicking a button on any Windows app, then, while holding down the button, move off of it.  The button does not register as pressed.  This feature has saved me any number of times. 
    edit:
    Or do you mean it doesn't even depress the button?

  • Is it possible to install and run Acrobat Standard or Pro on a Surface Pro 2 tablet?

    Does anyone know if is possible install and run Acrobat Standard or Professional on a Surface Pro 2?
    and, if is possible to use COM automation to fill AcroForms?
    Thanks and regards,
    Adolfo

    Does it run regular Windows 8 (allowing you to install the same apps as older versions of Windows in the desktop) or does it run Windows 8 RT, where only apps from the Windows Store are allowed? It looks like regular Windows 8, in which case you can try out the free trial of Acrobat Pro.
    If it works, the Acrobat SDK (separate download) has all developer information on Acrobat, and you need it (give up any idea you will find code ready for use on Google...)

  • Using a Mac and a Surface Pro with the same catalog?

    I am using CC on my Mac as my primary computer. I'm thinking of getting a Surface Pro to use as a second computer.
    1. Are there any issues with opening and saving a catalog back-and-forth between a Mac and a PC? I'm thinking of doing it via Dropbox.
    2. Has anyone used LR on a Surface Pro? Can everything be done via touch? Does it work well? I'd like to mainly be able to go through all of my photos and tag and rate them on the Surface.
    Thanks.

    Using dropbox seems to be one of the choices people make when working with the same catalog on multiple computers. It reportedly works well as long as you ensure that you allow ample time for synchronization.
    I cannot answer your question about the Surface Pro. You could download the trial version of Lightroom and evaluate for 30 days and then decide for yourself.

  • Surface Pro 2 freezes briefly - storachi and disk error

    Hello tech net
    I am running a surface pro 2 with windows 8.1 (updates current as of 3 days ago), 4 GB RAM, 64GB HD.  For the last several months the device will freeze up for about 5-10 secs multiple times per hour, and then resolve on it's own.  During that
    time task manager shows the disk is at 100% and event viewer will display 2 Warnings: an storachi (129) and a disk (153) error.  This is in addition to a service control error (7000) that happens multiple times per second but doesn't seem to
    affect performance.  These freezes happen when plugged in, on battery, SDXC card installed or not, wi-fi or not, and no particular program running. It even happens when I'm not using the device if I go back thru event viewer.  The 100% on disk is
    not associated with any increase in process or app activity.  Most of the time there are a couple 0.1MB/s demands like outlook, explorer or service host running but nothing that looks unusual when it spikes and freezes.
    I am not a tech person and my online search for help has yielded a wide variety of solutions to this problem that didn't seem to be reliable fixes and sounded a little beyond my usual capabilities.  Anyone know if this is fixable or do I need to send
    the device back?
    Thanks!

    Not much information here to go on. Can you supply the bdd.log file. Copy to a public share like OneDrive, and share the link.
    Typically any problems with format and partition have to do with the storage driver. Are you using the latest ADK from Microsoft? As Surface Pro 2 only supports Windows 8.x, you should *only* be using uEFI mode and GPT.
    THe default MDT Task Sequence will do the right thing, *however*, if you change the settings in the "FOrmat and Partition Disk" step, you are then responsible for the settings from then on.
