WDS Image deployment with updates applied

Hi All,
Is it possible to capture an image which has windows updates included? I am currently building a number of machines for rollout and having to wait for 115 updates to be applied to each.
I have captured a .wim image and is sitting in captured images within install images on the WDS server - I need to add a boot image to show on the machine when network booting, but not sure how to do this.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Neil

Image deployment Stuck at Applying Unattend.xml with DISM.EXE

Hello All,
I've integrated around 90 Patches into MDT Image of windows Server 2012. so far, only Image and Packages are in Media contents.
When I am deploying Image on a VM- then it is working fine till applying Operating system Image upto (100%)...and gets stuck at Applying Unattend.xml with DISM.exe which is very next step, see screenshot below.
This process is going on for a longer time and after this I am getting below Error and Image is not getting deployed ...
Please advise!!!
Please....

In the task sequence folder ([deploymentsharename] -> Control -> [task
id]) do you see an unattend.xml file there?

Image Deployment with no Volume Licensing

I need to deploy Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard via Acronis imaging software. The only issue that I am having is that when the "Master Image" is created it keeps the SN# to that particular license i.e. 2 machines now have the same license key.
Trying to find out if there is anyway to change the serial number after installation is completed or a way to install the program without having to use the key until the program has been launched for the first time.

I have this exact same question! I'm submitting an image to Dell who, because of Vista, won't send laptops with OEM copies of Adobe anymore. So instead they are sending retail versions at OEM prices.
We can't go to Corporate because the price is substantially more so I'm stuck with either installing Adobe after the image is applied or finding a way to change the serial number of the installation on the image after the install. Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

WDS service will not start Windows Server 2012 R2 with Update

Greetings,
After building my WSE box clean with new hardware and with Update version of WiSE 2012 R2, I find that it let me set up Windows Client Restore but now the WDS Service will not start for love nor money.
Any suggestions? Am I missing a Win-PE boot Image? Should I do something else?
Please assist,
Bob Hessenauer

All,
The problem was a conflict between DHCP and WDS. Followed the instructions in this article and all is now fine:

Problem with WMI after using MDT/WDS to deploy

Hi
I am using MDT with WDS to deploy windows server.
All is fine, besides WMI from Zenoss for monitoring, it show's me errors like
" Could not read the Windows event log (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED). Check your username/password settings and verify network
connectivity."
If i do the same installation by hand, everything works.
Do you have any idea how installation from MDT differs from by hand installation, that could have impact on WMI?

Hi Bartosz Kupiecki,
May you must have some misunderstand of WDS and MDT deploy, your issue may occur because your MDT has some unattended file or customize the install image (has setting
some special configuration which different with the your manually installed system), please remove this customize configuration then try again.

Windows 7 deployment with unwanted updates

Hello! I have been deploying with MDT for some time now. My method is to fully update my golden image then run a TS to capture it. When I deploy that WIM in a new TS everything works and comes out fully activated with all post installed applications/configurations.
One issue I do have is that we administer the updates for our clients. They are not able to change any settings for Windows Updates. I have set "protectmypc" parameter in the answer file to 3 to disable the updates but am still getting updates in
queue. Since Group Policy disables settings for the updates they cannot be removed. Where in the process does these updates get checked for and how do I stop this from happening? My TS does not allow this due to the post task being disabled. Someone has to
know what is going on. Regards,
Joseph N. Sunderman | IT Professional

Hi,
How did you write the tab? It shoulbe be the like this below instead of "protectmypc".
<OOBE>
   <HideEULAPage>true</HideEULAPage>
   <NetworkLocation>Other</NetworkLocation>
   <ProtectYourPC>3</ProtectYourPC>
   <SkipMachineOOBE>true</SkipMachineOOBE>
   <SkipUserOOBE>true</SkipUserOOBE>
</OOBE>

The Deploy Software Updates Wizard completed with errors - Access is Denied

Hello, I am trying to download some updates that were synced up to the SCCM's database from another WSUS server. I am not able to get it done because the wizard fails with the access is denied error. I checked patchdownloader.log file and saw Error code
= 5 which means access denied. I tried to change permissions on the "updateservicespackages" folder within the folder, and I have full NTFS permissions for system, administrators, and read only permissions for everyone. Same thing goes for
the share permissions. My account is in the administrators group. The only way I can get it to work is by granting full permissions to "everyone", but that cannot be security friendly. Which account is "Deploy Software Updates Wizard" using
so that I can properly give it the required rights?

Hi,
You could have a look at the thread below. Lucas used ProcMon that shows an access denied with the user which he was using. Permission via group wasn't enough. Give your user full share/security access and everything works fine.

WDS to deploy Hyper-V Servers and VMs

I have several physical servers to deploy in the future.
The physical server will have Hyper-V and 3 pre-configured/syspreped VMs and of course the physical server will be "syspreped" too.
I´ts fine to deploy it using WDS?
It´s Ok, to deploy a sysprepd physical Hyper-V server via WDS?
It´s Ok, to deploy a sysprepd physical Hyper-V server with 3 syspreped VMs inside it?

Hi fborup,
Are you trying to run sysprep a server which installed Hyper-V role for new server installation? Microsoft does not support the use of Sysprep for a computer that has been
running in production for extended period of time and run sysprep then create a new image or clone from the computer. Sysprep is designed to prepare new installations of Windows for imaging.
After Server 2008 Hyper-v you can sysprep a Hyper-V server but Sysprep doesn’t supported for a virtual network on Hyper-V. We must delete any virtual networks before run the
Sysprep tool.
The related KB:
Sysprep Support for Server Roles
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh824835.aspx
Unsupported Sysprep scenarios
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/828287
I’m glad to be of help to you!

Thanks for helping make community forums a great place.
For Virtual networks that are of the type "External Network", these will be resetted to "Internal Network", since sysprep "generalizes" anything related to hardware. This can easily be changed back once redeployed. Hence you really
don't need to delete any type of networks before running sysprep, and this goes for Server 2008, 2008R2, 2012 and 2012R2 (including 2012R2 with Update).

2008 R2: How to image/deploy Win 7/8 systems?

This was originally posted on Windows Server forum, not knowing there was a forum more specific to my need.
Hi all. This is a rather broad question. On the Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 platforms, what is the simplest but most effective set of technologies from Microsoft to enable me to simply re-image a Win7 client machine in situations where it needs to be
refreshed?
A common scenario is that a person's computer contracts a virus or they otherwise screw it up so badly it needs a clean start, and rather than spend 3-4 hours rebuilding the system manually, I'd like to be able to simply re-image the machine - most ideally
from the Win 2008 R2 server.
However the environments I work in typically have a variety of hardware mixes - various Dell, HP, Lenovo laptops and desktops. I don't know if one single image per organization would do, or if I have to create an image for every type of computer.
Also how are these images deployed, is it done over the network, or am I to create a bootable disc, or do I attach a USB external hard drive since I imagine the image is bigger than a 4.7GB DVD? Given that I don't have a background in doing this, I
am hoping to find all-inclusive prescriptive guidance on how to go about this system imaging process. I work in IT, but am new to this particular aspect of things. Thank you

Hi viProCon,
Consider your different hardware you can sysprep different system image then you can deploy them. The WDS include the following general knowledge point, you can refer the
following article to get more detail steps.

Problem with update packages MDT

Hi, when i build boot image with update packages the mdt it give me a error
Error: 0x800f081e
The specified package is not applicable to this image.
Exit code = -2146498530
The wim file is take from win 7 italian iso x64, the updates I push in mdt are the same that I install on test machine with italian iso.
I think the problem is in some script of mdt when "update deployment share"

The only update that I recall being required for WAIK 3 was the advanced format drive patch (Unless you have the WAIK 3.1 update in which case it is unneeded).
So can you post the output that is failing? Specifically when you choose Update Deployment Share and it is building the boot wims can you select 'Save Output' and post that output here?
What version of MDT are you using?

Image Capture Boot Image Fails with 0xc000000f

I am trying to capture a Windows 8.1 Enterprise (with Update) x64 installation using WDS, but the Capture Image fails to load. I used the boot.wim from the Windows Server 2012 R2 (with Update) ISO to create a boot image in WDS and then a capture image from
it. After I press F12 and the progress bar finishes the following message appears:
This only happens when I boot the capture image - the original boot image that I imported in WDS boots normally. I also tried with the Windows 8.1 (with Update) boot.wim, but the issue reoccurs. This is a Hyper-V VM on Windows Server
2012. Is this a problem with the recent update?

Hi,
We’re currently experiencing exactly the same issue. Also a fully-updated Server 2012R2 (with the recent KB2919355 update) machine.
So far, I found two other posts with exactly the same issue:
1) http://wp.secretnest.info/?p=1474
2)
http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/472581-wds-capture-image-winload-exe-corrupt-or-missing
According to these posts it seems like the issue occurs after the first time a capture image based upon a Windows 8.1 or Server2012R2 boot.wim is created.
What I’ve tried so far is removing the server role, deleting the WDS store, rebooting the server and start over with a Windows 7 boot.wim. The normal boot.wim starts ok, but the created capture image doesn’t.
So the process of creating the capture boot image did ‘something’ in a way the new boot.wim differences from the old boot.wim. To find out what, I first mounted the new .wim file to see if winload.exe is actually there – it is both in
system32 as well as systen32\boot. So my second guess was that the Windows Boot Manager cannot find the windows loader, because of an incorrect declaration of disks in the BCD store.
I used BCDEDIT to show the differences between the working and non-working boot images:
Windows Boot Loader
identifier {1d214c07-6892-401c-a762-04647ad38560}
device ramdisk=[boot]\Boot\x64\Images\boot.wim,{b321afc0-8a23-4
961-85dd-a10f3c46473f}

-- Second - Non Working disk --

ramdiskmcenabled No
ramdiskmctftpfallback Yes
So the ID for the osdevice is the same, and only the device is different, but mentioned correctly under Device options (as far as my knowledge goes in this subject). I hope there will be a solution anytime soon.

Image creation with MDT task sequence- "Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown"

I'm using MDT 2012 U1 to build and capture a Windows 7 x86 image for deployment with ConfigMgr 2012 SP1. I'm using the standard client task sequence in MDT.
The MDT task sequence consistently fails after the reboot in the "Postinstall" group. The install OS, Copy Scripts, Configure, Inject Drivers, Next Phase, and Restart Computer tasks all execute successfully, then the MDT-initiated reboot
completes successfully. There is nothing else helpful in the SMSTS.LOG, these are the last entries in the log:
Successfully complete the action (Restart Computer) with the exit win32 code 0
Sending status message
Executing in non SMS standalone mode. Ignoring send a task execution status message request
Set a global environment variable _SMSTSLastActionRetCode=0
Set a global environment variable _SMSTSLastActionSucceeded=true
Expand a string %_SMSTSMDataPath%\Logs
Deleting file without retrying
The error message on the reference computer says, "Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown" along with "An existing in-progress deployment was found but is not in an expected state. Would you like to ignore this in-progress
deployment and start a new one?"
I have found one post that suggested modifying customsettings.ini with HideShell=Yes, which I tried. It didn't help.
I am not sure why MDT thinks the reboot was unexpected? Has anybody run into this? What steps can I take to narrow down the problem?
Any help/suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
FP

Thanks for your reply Phil.
Setuperr.log is empty, zero bytes. Setupact.log looks good to me, it has these entries at the end:
OrchestrateUpdateImageState: Updating image state from [IMAGE_STATE_UNDEPLOYABLE] --> [Image_State_Complete]
OOBELdr.exe exiting with code [0x0]...
Process exited with exit code [0x0]
c:\windows\panther\SetupInfo succeeded.
c:\windows\panther\setupinfo.
Windeploy.exe exiting with code [0x0]
SetupSQM Started
Panther path is C:\windows\Panther
SQM not opted in
SetupSQM is finished
Our image environment was created during an MCS Engagement, so we have the solution pack and there are many variables in customsettings.ini. I will need to find out how to narrow this down but I'm not finding a log file that tells me where it's choking...
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
FP
