sure attach them, but did you launch PowerShell from the ConfigMgr console before doing this ?

welcome ! 1.What specs do I need for my DNS/DHCP/AD server VM, and can I run all these roles on one vm. you can install them all on one server as I explain in this guide, i do all that on a gen 1 hyperV vm running server 2012r2 with only (gasp) 512mb ram, 127gb hdd. 2.How about the SCCM server? what are the hardware specs. 2cpu's, 10GB ram, 127gb hdd 3.Did you install your SQL on the same vm server as the sccm? and why? What were the specs for your SQL server. absolutely, explained how here 4.The goal is to build a robust SCCM Lab with 5 windows XP, 5 windows 7, 5 Windows 10 at the bottom of my heirachy. 2 Primary servers, 2 secondary servers and a CAS. Even though I mgiht not fully use all of this, I just want to build them in my lab to learn as much as I can, you can let me know if this also advisable or maybe one Primary with several secondaries under them is good. the only thing that's limiting you achieving that goal is hard disc space and RAM as long as the hyperv is a decent i7 CPU or better, i run all my labs on a now aging Dell E6530 with only 16GB ram (it's an i7). The key to the storage is you want fast SSD's otherwise your lab will be a slow and painful experience, try and go for a host with 32GB ram or more if you can and lots of SSD discs ! here's a look at my hyperV host on that laptop

take a look at the following link, it references System Center Configuration Manager 2012 but the same rules apply here "For the best performance, place each object on a separate, dedicated RAID volume. For all data volumes (Configuration Manager and its database files), use RAID 10 for the best performance."

can you reboot the machine and using a winpe USB key or pxe boot manually open up the unattend.xml file stored on the hard drive and see what's in it ?

after making the change and 'saving' it you still need to update the boot wim to the dp's otherwise you'll be using the boot image that doesn't have f8 support added.

welcome ! 1. yes, but it should be an mdt integrated task sequence. The only time you'd want to recreate the mdt boot images is when changing MDT version (mdt 2013 update 1 to update 2 for example) or changing ADK version or when wanting to revert the mdt boot images to how they were before they got bloated with drivers or scripts. 2. when you create new task sequences you absolutely can re-use the MDT Toolkit and MDT Settings packages, as regards the naming convention something like this is what I use \\sources\os\mdt\mdt 2013 update 2\ _____________________________\MDT Toolkit _____________________________\MDT Settings as described here but it's entirely up to you how they should be created. 3. use the default one if you are not using any of the facilities it provides, otherwise download many sample customsettings.ini from the MDT pro's like Mikael Nystrom and Johan Arwidmark, they have plenty of example blog posts to help you with that

you can deploy the driver pack (msi) as an application via the Application Catalog, have you tried that ?\ here's some info https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt210838.aspx

here's one guide but it is for MDT 2013 Update 1 https://www.windows-noob.com/forums/topic/13190-how-can-i-deploy-windows-10-x64-to-the-microsoft-surface-pro-4-using-mdt-2013-update-1/ basically this guide is all you need for deploying Windows 10 in SCCM 2012 R2, the only difference for Surface Pro 4 is that you'll need the nic drivers injected into the boot wim, the exact same drivers and method as in this guide, the only thing you'd have to change is the WMI query to point it to Surface Pro 4 instead of Surface Pro 3

yup it works the same, it just looks different in windows 10 (more polished)

have either of you asked Dell which NIC is supported for UEFI network boot ?

well for UEFI network boot to work you need to have dhcp scope options 66/67 removed if they are set and configure iphelpers to point to the ip address of the distribution point hosting the WDS server. Can you video the PXE boot attempt ? what does the smspxe.log (on the dp) reveal ? do any UEFI only devices PXE boot and if they do are they booting from the x64 boot wim or an x86 one....

According to statcounter.com Windows 10 has overtaken Windows 8.1 usage cross the world. from the graph above it looks like this occurred last December. Interesting to note is that Windows 7 tops the usage at approx 46%. Based on this graph it looks like Windows 10 still has an uphill battle before it becomes the dominant Operating System more info > http://gs.statcounter.com/#desktop-os-ww-monthly-201506-201601

did you click next ?

probably because the drivers are already imported and therefore duplicates, you can use jason sandys duplicate script to create a txt file in each folder of the driver pack before importing

7b is usually storage driver related, are you adding any storage drivers for that model ?

what do you get ?

works fine for me, can you please describe exactly what issues you are having and attach logs where appropriate

thanks ! show me a screenshot of yours with the ribbon, you are probably just looking in a different place to me

are you asking how to do client push ?

well that's how it's done, so are you saying your boot image doesn't respond to F8 ?

interesting, have you raised a bug on connect about it so Microsoft can fix it ?

yup, you can do it using wbemtest as described here (step 9) https://www.niallbrady.com/2013/10/09/how-can-i-manually-add-winpe-5-boot-images-to-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-sp1-cu3/

what version of configmgr are you using ? what version of the adk ? what version of windows 10 and lastly, can you attach some logs ?

well it sounds like it can't write to the hard disc, can you attach the entire SMSTS.log file please ?
