Windows 8.1 Task Sequence and Assigned Access

Hi all,
I have to build a few hundred kiosk machines with Windows 8.1, a custom LoB appx app, and assigned access. I am attempting to do it using SCCM OSD, but I have a couple of problems.
Appx applications cannot be installed during a task sequence, so is pre-provisioning via dism on the command line the answer?
It seems that assigned access can only be set up for local accounts (from an admin account) after the
local account has logged in at least once. How would this work as part of a task sequence?
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks,
Simonie.

Windows 8.1 Task Sequence is picking the wrong USB drivers

I have a Windows 8.1 task sequence that hasn't had any driver issues on all the other desktops I've tested. Except the HP Compaq 6000 Pro. None of the USB drivers are working correctly unless I select Update Driver Software -> Browse my computer for
driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer then a list of 4 driver options appear. I can select any of them and they all work. I can't seem to figure out how to get it to select of those drivers by default. I've tried building
a driver package and also a capture with the correct drivers selected. Neither have worked. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,
Please have a look on the following thread. It might give you some hints.
"use
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ConfigMgr-Driver-Injector-aae7d17d to 'grab' the drivers you've succesfully installed into your hardware and inject those to ConfigMgr. Create a driver package and use "Apply Driver Package" -step in your task sequence
with WMI conditions so that this driver package only applies on to the right make/model."

Installing "Applications" during the task sequence and installation enforcement

Hello,
Kind of a weird question here, so it seems like I'm seeing that if you install an application on a system during its OSD task sequence, then you later manually uninstall that application, that SCCM considers that system now out of compliance?
And then reinstalls the application as indicated in AppEnforce.log? Is this true? If so, how do you get around this behavior? I guess I thought that this application compliance only took effect when you actually deploy an application to a
system, through an actual deployment. I didn't realize that it would enforce compliance even if an application was installed during a task sequence. So if you have hundreds of systems that were imaged with the same task sequence and you have
a small handful of machines that can't have application X on it (so you want to uninstall it), which was installed via the task sequence, how do you disable this compliance enforcement and disable its automatic reinstall?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Sorry for the delayed response, thank you both for your input. To answer both your questions, no these workstations do not have any required deployments for this application directed at them. I have confirmed that, however, they do have
the OSD task sequence deployment (that contains this application) constantly "available" to them (via only "media and PXE") as this makes it very easy for our technicians to reimage any machine whenever they need to (love that feature
by the way).
I can only assume that because they still have this task sequence deployment pointed at them is why they continue to attempt to reinstall this application when ConfigMgr finds that it's not installed anymore. In fact it does it at the same day/time
each week, which I believe is the same day/time of the week that the machines were imaged. I must have the compliance part of the clients configuration to check every 7 days for stuff like this? Anyway, that's my conclusion for now.
Since even Wally Mead felt that this must be an actual required deployment outside of the task sequence I'm really curious to see if anyone else sees this behavior. It would be fairly simple to attempt to recreate, image a machine with a task sequence
that has "application" installs included, where the deployment for it is just "available" and keep the deployment "available" after the machine is reimaged. Then after that, uninstall one of the apps that was installed
during the task sequence via an "application" and then see if it reinstalls automatically, it may wait a while (may 7 days by default?). You can see the evidence of our application reinstalling itself in the "AppEnforce.log".
Is it even remotely possible that this is a new "feature" or behavior of ConfigMgr 2012 and "Applications"?

Orchestrator and SCCM 2012 integration: run task sequence and install assigned applications/packages?

Dear,
We do not have Orchestrator running in our SCCM 2012 R2 environment. Though I wonder if we could accomplish the following scenario with it:
Task sequence Windows 7 => Orchestrator step which queries assigned installations to the computer object and installs them one by one.
Could you advise?
Kind regards,
Stev.
SteveWonB

> > Define "assigned to computer objects". How is this done technically?
Well, computer objects are members of collections via AD memberships, like the collection "W7-Google-Chrome" (exists of 100 computer objects).
Deploy of packages is done to these collections. So a computer member of "W7-Google-Chrome" will automatically get Google Chrome.
Some computers are member of 30 collections, some of 80.
Goal is to have the task sequence run all applications/packages assigned (with their reboots if needed).
Kind regards,

MDT 2013 Windows 8.1 Task sequence Stops After first Reboot. login

Hi There,
The issue I am having is that After the OS gets laid down, and the Windows 8.1 computer reboots, The task sequence does not continue. It fails everytime. There are not any obvious errors that happen in the process that I can see in the logs. But I have
customized this process quite a bit and I could use some help. We are deploying potentionally to over 30,000 computers.
The test machine I have been using is the Surface pro 2.
The interesting part is after a failure is if I start the process over again , boots into PE, then run diskpart manually from command prompt to Clean Disk 0, and then reboot and start the MDT task sequence, it will deploy fine.
I also have a custom step that copies the TS media from the stick to a Recovery partition I create. The user can launch a -re-image or MDT refresh from an Icon/script, which will unhide this "recovery partition", and kick off a lite touch refresh.
This works succesfully everytime. We have remote locations with very slow links, so MDT over the network or MDT integrated with SCCM is not an option at this time. So this is the solution.
I am attempting to use MDT 2013 to deploy Windows 8.1 Offline, and using GPT partitions.
I am using a custom Format and partiition Step, that call the CustomDiskpart.txt script from %deployroot%\Scripts.
I am also using a Split image, as multi partitioned EFI/NTFS USB sticks are not a possibility for us , also, the USB sticks capable of this are seen by MDT as a "fixed drive" anyways. Which can cause issues in itself. So the LTIAPPLY.wsf has
been edited to search and apply ther split .swm files. This works well.
After the Task sequence failure I have tried launching the Litetouch scripts from the C:\MINNINT folder manually to continue the sequence, but it doesnt do anything.
I don't want to always be running Diskpart manually before imaging a new OEM computer. I needa second pair of eyes on this.
Thank You in advance!

Hi,
Thanks Again for taking a look.
I checked the sysprep log in the image and they look fine. No errors.
As requested here are some logs. Let me know if I can provide anything else.
BDD.log
litetouch.log
SMSTS.log
Im not actually attempting to provide a recovery image. What I am doing is leveraging MDT to refresh the computer remotely. We can update the MDT media on the hidden data partition,when required and kick it off remotely. Some of the computers are very
remote, and without SCCM DP's, plus a combination of slow links and a lack of deskside techs made this a requirement. This works without incident.
The only issue I have is on a new computer if I run the sequence (offline USB media) it will fail the first time, unless I run a diskpart clean in PE first.. Then it will succeed. Refreshing the computer is fine.

Would you tell me If window server installed with "routing and remote access" can output firewall logs.

I install "routing and remote access" into Window Server and make it work as a firewall.
When connections are accepted or denied at firewall, would you tell me if the firewall can output the logs ?
If that function can, would you tell me how to configure ?
Thanks.

Hi Kohenro31,
I'm a little confused about configuring RRAS to work as firewall, cause we usually deploy RRAS as VPN connection, router etc, would you please post more information in detail?

Task sequences and App-V Virtual Environment.

We want to distribute a number of applications (including several App-V 5.0 plugins) and packages by using a task sequence. The execution of the task sequence
works fine, however our to App-V virtual groups are not registrated as App Connection Groups in the Microsoft Application Virtualization client. The virtual apps are therefore not working properly, and making the task sequence unusable.
We have distributed the same number of applications, plugins and packages by using software distribution to separate collections and it works without any problems.

First, are you using the Application Model for deploying the App-V 5.0 applications? Application Connection Group comes in place when the Application Deployment Evaluation Cycle is run. That shouldn't have anything to do with the deployment with TS, or atleast
I think so. Have you tried running the App evaluation cycle manually after the TS has run?
"Virtual environments are created or modified on client computers when the application is installed or when clients next evaluate their installed applications. You can order these applications so that when multiple applications try to modify a file system or registry value, the application with the highest order takes priority."
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj591609.aspx
Have you configured the Connection Group in the console?

SCCM Task Sequence And Program Behavior

Are task sequences subject to the actions you set for the program, such as normal, hidden, restart after running, etc? I know they show the task sequence progress bar, but will the program run hidden all the time with just that bar visible?

Jason,
I was testing a task sequence that runs a program. The program by itself does not invoke a restart as it is a simple echo hello world. I set the program action as Configuration Manager Restarts Computer. I was expecting a notification in the tray and 90
minute delay for restart but it restarted right away. Here is the execmgr.log and it restarted despite the line - requires a reboot, however reboot is supressed. Removing request. The exit code was success and 0.
Execution is complete for program Wake On Lan Test Script. The exit code is 0, the execution status is SuccessRebootRequired execmgr 1/6/2015 2:29:47 PM 5132 (0x140C)
Requesting MTC to delete task with id: {8C840D94-E508-4030-86E2-160F11ACB6B2} execmgr 1/6/2015 2:29:47 PM 5132 (0x140C)
This execution request does not own the corresponding task in MTC, returning without deleting it from MTC. execmgr 1/6/2015 2:29:47 PM 5132 (0x140C)
Execution Request for advert CPS20194 package CPS0004B program Wake On Lan Test Script state change from Running to ReportStatusAtReboot execmgr 1/6/2015 2:29:47 PM 5132 (0x140C)
The program Wake On Lan Test Script for package CPS0004B and advertisement CPS20194 completed succesfully and it
requires a reboot, however reboot is supressed. Removing request. execmgr 1/6/2015 2:29:47 PM 5132 (0x140C)
Program exited expecting reboot, delaying execution of other programs for 60000 ms execmgr 1/6/2015 2:29:47 PM 5132 (0x140C)
When I remove the Configuration Manger Restarts Computer, it doesn't restart and exits with code 0. So it seems the TS does honor the setting in the program to restart but does it immediately and not through the normal client process with the notification
and countdown. Reason I ask is because I am trying to run a TS and present the user afterward with the temporary notification of 90 minutes to restart.
Of course when I tried this with a different application it exited with a 3010 code and if I'm correct that tells the TS engine to restart right away anyway.

Setup windows and ConfigMgr task sequence failing.

Hi,
Am trying to create a reference Windows 7 task sequence and the task sequence is failing at the 'Setup Windows and ConfigMgr' task.
There are a lot of threads regarding this step and in particular that as the machine is in a workgroup it cannot install the SCCM client successfully. As recommended on other posts have added SMSLP= and SMSMP= into the Installation properties.
The task sequence is still failing and am unable to make much of the logs.
Will post the errors if anyone can assist?.

Bypassing Autologon in Windows 8.1 assigned access

Good day!
I am attempting to use Assigned Access in Windows 8.1 to set up a guest facing kiosk for our company. Our current kiosk software just isn't cutting the mustard right now, and Assigned Access is actually doing nearly everythign we ask of it!
I have set up a forced autologon in the registry (forceautologon=1, autoadminlogon=1), which is working perfectly. However, I don't have any way to escape the autologon now. In windows 7 and XP, I simply held down shift to break the cycle. I've tried tapping
the windows key 5 times while holding shift, but to no avail. Does anyone know how to break the cycle?

I created a simple
apicación in VB.NET, you just
need to enable remote logging on the machine
with auto logon from your computer
and run the application. When
the session is opened on the remote machine
running NoLogin to disable the
automatic startup, closed session
and see that pressing OK and
not entered automatically, or
run it and restart your computer,if you want to
re-enable would be the same process.

SCCM 2012 SP1 and MDT 2012 Task Sequence Templates, MDT File/Settings Packages

We're setting up SCCM 2012 integrated with MDT 2012 for our OSD. My main issue is finding actual reference material for the MDT task sequence templates when integrated with SCCM. The MDT documentation has a lot of information on variables and task sequences
outside of SCCM integration.
One thing I'd love to find information on is what's actually going on during an MDT Client Task Sequence template. I found this http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/645a77b2-5be6-431d-818c-57d24b1435cc/understanding-mdt-task-sequence?forum=configmgrosd but
it doesn't delve into the kind of detail I'm looking for. I can dig up information through the MDT reference material on some things, but I just can't find anything out there that actually walks you through an SCCM/MDT task sequence template. For instance,
under State Restore what is being referenced in Install Software with base variable name PACKAGES, vs Install Applications and base variable name COALESCED APPS. And, where are you supposed to put these applications? That's just a specific example, I'm hoping
to find some kind of walkthrough.
Two things I'm hazy on are the MDT packages. What exactly are the MDT Settings Package, and the MDT Files Package? What are they used for? What benefits do you get out of using them? And, how exactly do you use them? I know one of them has something to do
with customsettings.ini, but what's the point of using SCCM with MDT if you still have to muck around in the customsettings.ini file?
Either way, it seems like there are a lot of references to SCCM task sequences, and a lot of references to MDT task sequences. But, not together. Which is a bit annoying since the MDT-integrated task sequence templates are very obviously different than either
SCCM or MDT by itself. Any help would be appreciated, even just information on where to look. Maybe I'm just really bad at finding reference material for SCCM/MDT. Thanks.

When MDT integrated with SCCM, We need the following MDT components to be created:
MDT Boot image
MDT Toolkit Files
MDT Settings
The MDT boot image (for example) gives you extra abilities over the standard ConfigMgr boot image such as the ability to display a HTA Refer here:
http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/forum/98-frontends-and-web-services/
MDT Files once created, you will find UDIWizard_Config.Xml file in which you can start User driven Installation OSD using UDI designer.
Refer these links for better understanding:

Thanks, Prabha G
Thanks for the quick reply. But, what about the MDT Settings Package? Also, both have a pretty big folder structure for each package. Surely it does more than just provide a couple xml and ini files? I'm not looking for anyone to spoon-feed me the information,
but at least a pointer in the right direction for finding the reference material. It seems for SCCM/MDT integration you have to go all over the place finding scraps of information to put together.
Also, any info on the SCCM/MDT task sequence templates? Thanks.

SCCM OSD and MDT 2012 - Task Sequence query

Hi All
I have single server SCCM 2012 R2 server with MDT 2013 successfully integrated. I'm looking to create a 'Sysprep and Capture' type Task Sequence within SCCM, so that this can be done via PXE rather than SCCM's more manual 'Capture Media' method. Just
wondering if anyone has thoughts on this, experience, pointers etc?
Couple of options that look possible are:
MDT Toolkit Package - include in SCCM based Task Sequence. Would it then be fairly easy to mimic ts steps detailed in MDT's existing 'Sysprep and Capture' TS, but within SCCM?
SCCM TS Steps - I've seen there are a number of TS Steps that look like they may enable OS Capture, but if so, bit confused there isn't more documented \ blogged on this kind of TS, would have thought this was a common requirement for a
SCCM TS? (TS Steps of interest within SCCM: 'Prepare Windows for Capture' and 'Capture Operating System Image')
Any assistance much appreciated!
Kind Regards
Andrew

There is a bit of debate about the best way to capture reference images. Check out this good blog that reviews the options:
http://www.deploymentresearch.com/Research/tabid/62/EntryId/163/The-battle-begins-Building-the-perfect-reference-image-for-ConfigMgr-2012.aspx
Having said that, you can certainly create a capture task sequence in SCCM. If you choose to create a new task sequence,you should see a build and capture option. Simply create a build and capture task sequence and then remove the build steps.
You will be left with:
I've used this method in certain cases.
Or as you said, if you are integrated with MDT, you can create an MDT task sequence to do the capture or add MDT steps as needed.
Hopefully that helps!

Task sequence fails after upgrading to 2012 R2 and MDT 2013

After upgrading to 2012 R2, my task sequence fails after the Setup Windows and ConfigMGR & Restart Computer. Instead of continuing to run the task sequence and load up the MDT Toolkit Package, it just stops at the Windows 7 login screen.
Do I need to create new toolkit & settings packages with MDT 2013 settings? Or do I just need to create a new task sequence?
I can't figure out what log to look at on the VM that I am imaging. If someone can point it out maybe there's some useful information. Thanks.

It sounds a lot like that it could be failing at the client installation. Please take a look at the client installation logs.

Here are the log files from c:\windows\ccmsetup\logs .. I took a glance and things run with success 0 which should mean no error right? The system also has the client installed with the CU2 patch.
Client Logs
Searched a bit online and people are saying it's due to the incorrect boot image. I was using a WinPE 5.0 I created on this TS but I'm going to make another and see where it goes.
This was the solution.
