Windows 8 OS Deployment - Troubles ..

OK .. A little new to this but need to ask the question.
I'm deploying windows 8.1 through SCCM 2012 r2 Configuration Manager.
I'm struggling with the Task sequence and the "Windows Startup Wizard" for lack of a better term. the image applies. drivers apply. Configuration manager installs ..then it reboot ...and you get the "personalize" screen that asks
for Machine name, Network, Username ..then it completes the CM install/application installs.
It never joins the domain ....!!!!!! How do I get around the "Personalize/Startup Wizard"? Or am I missing something else?
Any ideas

Both are set and in use.
Apply Windows settings Enables the local Admin account and sets the password. Works fine.
Apply network settings .....appear to not work at all. Option for Join domain set, OU set, I am using my credentials to join the domain (domain admin) --"Verify" test connection and is OK.
In regard to the "Write the specific information to an answer file" .... is there a place I can look for that to see if it is being written? or ....do you have any more ideas on the above question?

Is PE10 compatible with Windows 8? Having trouble with the organizer

It does sound very Watch Folders-esque, however, it seems strange that there are many folders involved. Are all the folders under a single parent folder perhaps? If so, you could try renaming or moving that folder. Additionally, to clarify, all 60 files are images, correct?
Additionally, you can try creating a new catalog, just to see if that lets you in. Hold down the Shift key while launching the Organizer. If you get the timing right, the Catalog Manager will appear.

Windows Deployment Services - Windows 8.1 Deployment Failure (Required Driver could not be Installed)

Hello everyone,
Give you a little background on the hardware/software which we are running to do a Windows 8.1 Deployment, we have an VM of Windows Server 2008 R2 with Windows Deployment Services installed and configured correctly. For the boot image it's a Windows 8.1
WIM and as for the Install Image we have a base image of Win 8.1 with all drivers installed for an HP EliteBook 8540w , we Syspreped and then capture the image using the W2K capture on PXE to capture and upload the image to the server. This is where we first
ran into the problem of connecting to the server and had to inject the lan drivers to have network connectivity. After the image was uploaded to the server, we thought to try and run a deployment of that image on an identical laptop. PXE boot into that Image,
it asks for domain credentials which are accepted it begins the installation process and fails at "Windows installation cannot continue because a required driver could not be installed"?
We just set up client logging on the server and it is useless it just says that the driver is missing, but what driver is missing? There are thousands, which one?
Another forum has this issue: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/4cf0b378-09d0-4e0b-bc6e-3d898b668f98/during-deployment-windows-installation-cannot-continue-because-a-required-driver-could-not-be?forum=w8itproinstall

Hi,
Please first check the solution here:
Error: Windows installation cannot continue because a required driver could not be installed
http://support.brainwaregroup.com/kb/article/AA-00702/0/Error%3A-Windows-installation-cannot-continue-because-a-required-driver-could-not-be-installed.html
Also, please try to find out Setup logs from the client computer, and we can see the details in the Setup log:
If the failure occurs in Windows PE before the disk configuration page of the WDS client is completed, you can find the logs at the
X:\Windows\Panther folder. Use Shift+F10 to open a command prompt, and then change the directory to the location.
If the failure occurs in Windows PE after the disk configuration page of the WDS client is completed, you can find the logs on the local disk volume at the
$Windows.~BT\Sources\Panther folder. The local disk volume is usually the drive
C. Use Shift+F10 to open a command prompt, and then change the directory to the location.

Windows 8.1 deployment and the store

Hi all.
I'm in the process of creating a Windows 8.1 image and I'm trying to understand how the Windows store works within the enterprise, does anyone know how the process should work in terms of...
Can a domain joined Windows 8.1 device open the Windows store and download apps with the domain users logon account? this is without forcing the user to go through the process of turning that account into a live account (which we need to avoid)
Can we download some 'free' applications from the Windows store (for example Lync) add this to our image and deploy for all users? we would need to be able to fully automate the process as our GOLD image and desktop deployment process are both unattended
using MDT.
Can we update applications during the Windows 8.1 deployment process without any user interaction?
Hope someone has some answers as I've struggled to find the answers on Bing (...or any other well known search engines!)

Hi,
To access the store a Microsoft Account is requiered. This means that any AD user who wants to access the store will have to link his AD account to a Microsoft Account which is a manual end-user operation.
To add modern ui apps to your reference image you would need the original appx file to use the "AppxPackage" command from DISM. Unfortunately only the app's developper could give you that file and I'm not sure they'd be likely to do so.
In my opinion, unless you have developper that creates your own modern ui apps forget about managing that kind of app in your reference image, the best you can do is to remove some of the default apps with Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage

Task Sequence (LiteTouch.wsf) does not restart after first logon on Windows 8.1 deployment

Hi guys!
I can't figure out what cause the issue.
First, this is my setup :
ADK installed
MDT 2012 (upgraded from 2010 update 1)
Boot wim regenerated from scratch
LTIApply.wsf edited http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2797676/en-us
Windows 8.1 configured and captured (my first Win 8/8.1 deployment)
New task sequence for that wim.
My issue is :
The task sequence windows won't show up only with windows 8.1 deployment after the first logon. (I tried with a Windows 7 with the same setup, works flawlessly)
I can see the desktop, but nothing show up. I have all the folders and files on the c: (MININT, _SMSTaskSequence LTIBootstrap). I clicked twice on LTIBootstrap, did nothing. I did an LiteTouch.wsf /start, nothing.
I recaptured my Windows 8.1 (it was on a virtual machine) and I did a new TS. The issue still there.
All the SMSOSD logs files are on http://sdrv.ms/18VPSKy
Someone can help me on this? I'll be very happy!
thanks!

Was this ever resolved or does anyone have an idea how to fix it?
I am having a similar issue. I deploy a custom Windows 8.1 image to a system and I get through the OS install, but I end up at the user login screen without the task sequence resuming (thus not running any windows update, doesn't join domain, or any post-install
tasks). The built in administrator account also shows up as disabled.
The only changes I have made to the unattend.xml for that image are *maybe* to fix the IE 10/11 error that crashes the deployment by deleting the IE welcome tag, and I have no choice but to make that change when it happens.

SBS 2008 - Windows 8.1+ clients trouble accessing file server shares

I have now upgraded 1 Windows 8 machine to Windows 8.1, and also clean installed another with Win 8.1 update 1 today, and both machines have trouble accessing the SBS2008 file server shares by UNC. If I browse by IP address of the server it seems to work
flawlessly. The odd thing is that it's sporadic. So if I browse in explorer to "\\*netbiosname*\share" the Win8.1 machine will sometimes be able to access the share, and other times it will fail with a "network unable to reach location etc.."
error. When it does work, it can take up to 5-10 minutes while explorer is frozen before the share is accessed. We're running quite a few Windows 8 machines without a problem, but it seems to be a specific problem with 8.1. Any idea?

This doesn't seem to fix this specific problem. I had a few days of "luck", but now it's back. I just upgraded another co-workers machine to Win8.1 and he advised me that he's been having the same problem even with the above fix applied. His issue
is when opening an office document that's located on the file server using location "\\servername\filename.xlsx", it takes a very long time (minutes) to open the excel file. This was happening to me as well, and if I tried to browse the network during
this period, Windows Explorer would sometimes give me path not found, and unspecified error. I will try and capture a screen of the error when it occurs. Any ideas??
edit: I have also noticed an unresponsive Windows Explorer for a few seconds to a minute over the last few days, which is a pretty good indicator that it's still happening on my machine.
The odd thing is, if I use the IP address of the file server, everything is fine. I changed all of my links to use the IP since October when Win8.1 was released to combat this problem, and only changed them back to the server name for testing since I want
to start deploying Win8.1 to others in the office. Unless I can fix this bug, they'll have to be stuck on Win8.
Thanks,

Windows host VI deploys to sbRIO (cRIO)

Hi there,
I´m working with a sbRIO (which is normally similar as a cRIO). I want to run the control part (host VI) on a PC, and most of the jobs of the sbRIO is data logging. So I´ve used the arrangement in the project which is shown in the picture below.
Although the main VI, which is highlighted in red oval, is placed under "My Computer", every time I start it on the PC, it will deploy itself. After that the sbRIO VI must be started from PC. (The sbRIO VI was built and run as start-up in before hand.)
The question is, how to make the sbRIO program run continually, after the main VI is started on the PC?
Thanks!

Hi there,
you are running into troubles, because you build an exe on your RT system, which can not deploy the variables stored on your RT in lvlib. To make it running you would need to bring up your varaiables lvlib on the host (Windows) side. But this is still not enough. You nedd to built in your RT start up exe something like intialization, before you start running your main programm, where for example over TCP/IP you could read the variable. This will couse, that for RT the variables will be known and you will get no error. If you do not initialize the variable, the exe will not run.

Windows Intune support deployment for windows phone (8.1) *.appx files

Hi
We are trying to deploy a windows phone 8.1 appx file with intune (over sccm console). the appx file is signed with a valid symantec certificate.
the installation of the app fails, either when we upload the file as "Required" (so pushing it automatically to the devices) or when we make the app on the company portal app available.
in the sccm console the deployment status says failed -> unkonwn error.
when we use .xap file of an windows 8.0 app, it works like a charm and the xap file is signed with the same certificate.
My question is, is there no support for publishing windows phone 8.1 appx files on Intune? Or what can it be?
Thanks for any hints

UPDATE
According to these links and the comments from Mitch Denny, can somebody confirm that .appx files (company apps) cannot be deployed/installed on windows phone 8.1 yet?

Thanks

Jabber for Windows On-Premises Deployment.

I´m deploying a solution of CUCM BE 8.6 with CUC 8.6 and CUPS 8.6. At this momento all is working on the CUCM and CUC. But i´m not sure if all is fine on the CUPS.
I have integrated all application whit an LDAP (Microsoft AD). Now I´m configuring Jabber for Windows and the users have IM and status monitoring (presence) working fine. But They need to have voice functionalities to make and recive calls.
I try to make call with jabber and using the pc to make call, but just can make calls; when some one try to call me, they receive a fast busy tone.
Then i tried to use jabber with an IP Communicator associated to the same user; and just in this scenario other users can call me.
The question is. On-premises deployments, jabber for windows requiere to have associated a desk phone or softphone to make and receive calls?, or i need to do some thing to give to jabber in self the ability de make and receive calls with out any other device associated?
Thanks.

Hi Chris, do you mean that in sofphone mode Jabber do no need the ip communicator to make an receive calls?
Becouse right now i have jabber and a CSF configured and associated to the user. But they can not receive calls, just can make calls.
Only when associate the ip communicator the user can receive calls.
Any idea of what could be happenning?
Thanks
Hello again,
I did some tests and a review of the configuration, but i can´t solve the issue.
the Users with jabber for windows can receive calls but they can not make if they do.
Only if they use an IP communicator associated to jabber client, they can make and receive calls
Must be jabber working by in self to make and receive calls, no matter if have or not associated a desk phone or softphone?
What do you think i need to verified?
I´m sending a file with screen shots to explain the issue.
thanks in advance

Windows 8.1 Deploy and Capture stops with no error

I have a standard deploy and capture TS for Windows 8.1 using the volume media 'install.wim' file.
The only modification I have made is to add a few applications into the TS.
Once started from WinPE, the TS goes smoothly, deploying the OS and the applications. It then restarts and just goes to the login prompt. The TS doesn't continue as expected, rebooting to WinPE and running the capture.
I've checked the smsts.log file and I cant see any obvious errors or anything that could cause this behaviour. The only warning I can see is 'Active reqeust handle is empty, registering with new active request handle' though I'm not sure if this is even
related.
So the process I see is:
Boot to PXE WinPE
Select build and capture TS for windows 8.1
Install OS
Install Apps
Restart
Login screen
Anyone have any ideas?

Windows 7 Image Deployment Failed in HP model D530 using MDT 2012 and ADK 8.0

Hi,
I need your help to sort out the following issue.
I have installed MDT 2012 +ADK 8.0 and created Windows 7 32 bit OS from CD in the deployment share and tried deploying the raw OS from Deployment Share in to a reference machine (HP D530) ,the deployment failed also couldn't able to capture
Image from the machine,even the sysprep failed. This is the error
Your PC needs to restart.
Please hold down the power button.
Error Code:0x0000005D
Parameters:
0x030F0209
0x746E6547
0X49656E69
0X6C65746E
So tried the same in another HP machine ,the deployment was success and also was able to capture the refrence machine.
Need your help to find why this error occurred in this specific HP model D530 alone. Is it the reason that ADK was not supported in that specific model.
D530 is the maximum available HW model in client environment so your help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!!

I have never seen that error before (see identical post). I did a quick internet search and found the following:
http://optimizewindows8.wordpress.com/2013/03/26/how-to-fix-error-code-0x0000005d/
Either:
1) Upgrade your machines with modern processors that support the ADK.
or
2) Downgrade to the WAIK

Slow OOBE on windows 8.1 deployment

Also when I do the OOBE step without internet connection it only takes 5 minutes...

Hi,
In my opinion, the difference between internet connection yes or not is that domain policy push or not. The lag time should be used to push policy.
To identify my suppose, you can check the client policy status if there is any different between internet connection yes and not.

Windows 8 App Deployment in School Lab environment?

After doing some reading and research on Windows 8 Store app deployment from sources like
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39685 and this forum and I am getting pretty depressed. Here is one part of my scenario which is pretty simple I think.
Lab of 20 Dell 3011 AIO Touchscreens that were depoyed with Win8Ent via MDT2012U1. For simplicity I will talk about a subset of my problem. I have 3 classes of Kindergartners who use the lab. The students aren't capable of really logging
in themselves so the teacher logs them all in to a shared account for each class since all they do is web / app stuff. I don't want to create 60 accounts for this young of kids since they can't handle the process anyway.
Here is my understanding of what I would have to do if I wanted to install Fresh Paint (a great free app) for all the students to use.
1. Create a minimum of 4 Microsoft accounts due to device limits of store app install.
2. Assign / attach those Microsoft accounts to specific lab machines (while logged in as each shared student account).
3. Login to each of my 20 lab machines as each of the 3 share accounts (which can't have roaming profile since Windows <-> Microsoft account association now needs to be unique). This would be a minimum of 60 individual logins for this one
app and one grade.
4. Install the app on a per user / per device basis.
5. Potentially repeat process any time an update is released since the students can't handle it themselves.
I think this is the majority of the process, am I leaving any important steps or details out? This sounds like it would be HOURS of work to install ONE app for ONE grade. I could potentially need 5-10 unique apps per grade.
This just isn't feasible on any type of scale. Even this limited amount of devices / users is overkill when dealing with users who are to young to maintain their own devices or exist in lab environment. In reading the doc refrenced above it doesn't
seem like there is a solution for this offered by MDT, SCCM or Intune? Please tell me I am missing the magic deploy button? Also I don't even want to begin to think about apps that aren't free and managing that.
Thanks for any helpful info.

No, you're not missing the magic deploy button :(
If a Windows Store App (aka Modern UI app aka Metro App) is offered via the Windows Store, and not offered directly by the application developer, the only legitimate way to get that app is via the Store, and that requires an MS account.
ConfigMgr offers two "deployment" methods;
a) deep-link into the web-based Windows Store. The logged-on user must have an MS account and use that account to authenticate to the store. even if the app is free.
b) sideload. requires the appx installation package.
There are some other suggestions, but they are unsupported, and rather complicated:

The last time I spoke with our MS contacts (deployment engineers @ MS), even those guys can't get the MS free apps to sideload.
All the documentation around sideloading appears to be catering for situations where a company has developed that app themselves, or, has commissioned a developer to create a custom app for the company.
Apps which are offered via the Store, seem to only be available via the store. I'm not sure if there is some kind of contractual obligation with MS which demands this? (i.e. in the store means no distribution via other means?)
At this time there are no options to federate an on-premises AD to the Store either. Which would be a nice option, even if it limited the user to free apps.
