and this from Aaron today http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2015/08/05/windows-10-adk-and-configuration-manager.aspx

have you applied CU1 yet ? it fixes the import of Windows 10 drivers problem. http://www.niallbrady.com/2015/08/05/cumulative-update-1-for-configmgr-2012-sp2-and-configmgr-2012-r2-sp1-is-now-available/

no this does not, these instructions were only for the preview release that was released back in October 2014, to deploy Windows 10 today you don't need the PID for the enterprise version, it will activate using KMS, unless of course you want to use the MAK key.

make sure you've populated the x64 bit boot image with the surface pro ethernet drivers on your PXE enabled DP, i describe the entire process in these videos, look at module 2 for starters http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/11685-5-video-series-on-deploying-the-microsoft-surface-pro-3-available-now/

have you verified the driver package source version is version 2 or greater ?

Hi all, here's some brief note's for setting up KMS for activating Windows 10. Step 1. Setup Server 2012 R2 First things first, you need to setup up a new 2012 R2 KMS server, because it won't work with Windows 2008 R2. Windows 2008 R2 is (currently) not supported for activating Windows 10 using KMS. For info on that, see here. Update: 2015/9/16 a new hotfix has been released by Microsoft here (Enables Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 KMS hosts to activate Windows 10) Jump to Step 3 !. If you are using Server 2012R2 please go to step 2. Step 2. Install a hotfix to add support for activating later versions of Windows Install the following hotfix: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3058168 which is an Update that enables Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 KMS hosts to activate a later version of Windows. More info > https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/dn502537.aspx I wasn't prompted to reboot, but you may want to do so anyway. Step 3. Login to the Volume License site You need to get a new KMS Host key from the Volume License Service Center that is capable of activating Windows 10. To do so, login with adequate credentials and then click License, then Relationship Summary. Click the License ID of your current Active license. You may have more than one Active License, so if it does not appear under one, check the other. Once the page changes, click Product Keys. Scroll down the list and look for: Windows Srv 2012R2 DataCtr/Std KMS for Windows 10 Save this key somewhere safe, you'll need it later. Step 4. Add the Volume Activation Services role After installing Windows Server 2012 open Server Manager and choose Add roles and features, choose Role-Based or Feature-Based installation. Choose your local Windows Server 2012 Server from the Server Pool. Choose the Volume Activation Services role. You may be prompted to add features that are required for Volume Activation Services such as Remote Server Administration Tools, if so, click on Add features and continue through that wizard until completion. Click Close when done, you will see a Yellow Triangle in Server manager which means that the role is installed but there is additional post deployment configuration required. Step 5. Configure the Volume Activation Services role To configure it, click VA Services in the left pane. Next click on the More text to the right of Configuration required for Volume Activation Services at SERVERNAME. This will popup All Servers Task Details and Notifications. click on the Volume activation tools link and then decide what Volume Activation Method you want to use in the Select Volume Activation Method screen, use the default (Key Management Service (KMS)) on the Product Key Management screen enter your KMS host key retrieved above in Step 3 from the VLSC site. After entering a valid Windows 10 KMS Host Key, you'll need to commit the change and you'll see that it has been accepted you may be prompted to activate the key, click on Activate Product you can select to Activate Online or by Activate by Phone and then click on the Commit button, answer Yes when prompted and review the final screen and then continue through that wizard until completion. Step 6. Get the Windows 10 KMS Client Setup keys The Windows 10 Client KMS keys are available here Operating system edition KMS Client Setup Key Windows 10 Professional W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX Windows 10 Professional N MH37W-N47XK-V7XM9-C7227-GCQG9 Windows 10 Enterprise NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43 Windows 10 Enterprise N DPH2V-TTNVB-4X9Q3-TJR4H-KHJW4 Windows 10 Education NW6C2-QMPVW-D7KKK-3GKT6-VCFB2 Windows 10 Education N 2WH4N-8QGBV-H22JP-CT43Q-MDWWJ Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB WNMTR-4C88C-JK8YV-HQ7T2-76DF9 Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB N 2F77B-TNFGY-69QQF-B8YKP-D69TJ Step 7.Test the KMS server configuration To test the KMS server configuration, open a cmd prompt as shown below and enter slmgr /ato depending on whether you have less that 25 computers online or not you'll see different messages as shown below, note that in this example I'm specifying the kms host manually, you do not need to do that if DNS is working properly (more details about that here) cheers niall Related Reading Activating Windows 10 on Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 KMS hosts. - http://blogs.technet.com/b/yongrhee/archive/2015/08/05/activating-windows-10-on-windows-server-2012-and-2012-r2-kms-hosts.aspx Error 0xC004F015 when you try to activate Windows 10 Enterprise on a Windows Server 2012 R2 KMS host - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3086418?sd=rss&spid=18611

you can include this in your Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step /skipprereq:windowsupdateagent30-x64.exe

what does the ccmsetup.log and endpointprotection log reveal about it ? is there any other antivirus software installed that could be causing an issue with the installation of the SCEP agent ?

is there really spaces in your wifi ssid ? also, you've checked the 'run as account' but havn't specified any, also deployment share is missing a 't' with all these typos i'd double check what you've entered and if there's any spaces be sure to encapsulate them with " "

no need for that, simply build your image on hyperv using either MDT 2013 or System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, and capture the image using the same task sequence, this is known as 'build and capture' and it's a 100% automated process. you can see that described here, simply modify it to capture whatever Operating System you want, and then deploy it using configMgr CM12 in a lab - Part 7.

This is a short post to provide links for downloading the ISOS from MSDN. Microsoft have released Windows 10 officially today to the general public, and if you opted for the Windows Insider program you are probably already running that version of Windows 10. Download Windows 10 Enterprise ISOSIf however you want to download the ISOs for use with Configuration Manager or MDT then the ISO’s can be downloaded from Microsoft using the following links: X86 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/downloads/?FileId=64732 X64 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/downloads/?FileId=64780 What about the other versions ?Windows 10 (like previous releases of Windows) comes in different flavors (SKUs) to target different markets, and the following versions are available on MSDN today: Windows 10 (Multiple Editions) Windows 10 Education Windows 10 Enterprise Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB Windows 10 Features on Demand So what does each version mean, let’s take them one by one using explanations gathered from MSDN itself. Windows 10 (Multiple Editions)This release contains Windows 10 Professional and Windows 10 Home. Please refer to your product keys to determine which products are included with your subscription. To explain those two versions see below. Windows 10 Pro Windows 10 Pro is designed for small and medium businesses enabling organizations to manage their devices and apps, protect their business data, facilitate remote and mobile scenarios as well as take advantage of the cloud technologies for their organizations. In addition to small and medium businesses, Windows 10 Pro devices would be a good choice for organizations supporting CYOD programs. Windows 10 Home Windows 10 Home is the definitive Windows 10 experience for general consumers. It offers a familiar and personal experience combined with new innovations for getting things done and having more fun. New features include: an all-new web browser built for doing things online; Windows Hello which providers users a warm welcome and a convenient log-on*; and great new multi-tasking features including snapping multiple apps on the screen and creating virtual desktops for more space. Windows 10 EducationThis release is available just for education customers in volume licensing programs. Windows 10 Education includes features from Windows 10 Enterprise that are ideal for advanced security, and the comprehensive device control and management needs of today’s educational institution.

That version allows users to not only be updated for security issues but also to avail of new features as they become available to Windows 10. Windows 10 Features on DemandWindows 10 features on demand are additional feature options available through Windows Update. This download allows organizations to pre-configure Windows 10 installation software with these features prior to deployment. This download can also be used to install features from local media. So how can I upgrade my Windows 7 (or Windows 8) to Windows 10 ?You can use the Upgrade task sequence in Configuration Manager as detailed here or if you are doing this manually, to get details about upgrading to Windows 10 see this link from Microsoft. cheers niall

press f8 and grab your smsts.log file in x:\windows\temp\smstslog it will reveal the issue attach it here. Note that i've a script which will aid you with this type of issue here: CM12 in a Lab - Updated Script: How can I check for network connectivity & storage before starting a task sequence in System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager ?

ok then what happens when you run this manually (press f8) in WinPE before the step does it... manage-bde.exe -protectors -get d: > x:\BLInfo.txt what is created in x:\blinfo.txt ?

I really appreciate the time and effort you all do here, and I just want to remind you that windows-noob.com has a Facebook presence, if you are on Facebook please join in ! here's the windows-noob.com Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/windowsnoob/ cheers niall

not natively no, you'd have to create a package/program or something similar to do that.

i dont think the promptrestart will work however as it's running in system context, if you want a prompt for the user you'll need to use serviceui.exe from the MDT toolkit, i've blogged about how to run commands using that here

what does the event viewer tell you ? have you tried a reboot

this script is hard coded to d: see here Wshell.Run "%comspec% /C manage-bde.exe -protectors -get d: > x:\BLInfo.txt",1,true Set InfoFile=fso.OpenTextFile("x:\BLInfo.txt") you can change that to point to a variable instead (I believe i'm doing that in the CM12 UEFI BitLocker HTA which contains an updated version of this script) so if your bitlocker disk is not on d: it will not unlock it

hi, Robert replied to your question on the windows-noob facebook group here. https://www.facebook.com/groups/windowsnoob/430097697191247/

your command isn't correct and is missing at least one backslash C:Windows\System32\WUSA.exe /uninstall /kb:2531912 /quiet /promptrestart try this instead cmd.exe /c "C:\Windows\System32\WUSA.exe /uninstall /kb:2531912 /quiet"

have you seen this yet ? http://www.niallbrady.com/2015/02/11/a-list-of-surface-pro-3-resources-for-both-mdt-2013-and-system-center-2012-r2-configuration-manager/

without going into details i'll reply in a very short version indeed:- a CAS is only required if you want to support over 100,000 clients or need a hierarchy of primary sites (that means, more than one primary) a PS is a Primary and is required to support the functions necessary for normal operations a Secondary site is generally used to 'offload' the load on a wan (for example) when you have say 3000 or so clients at a remote location and don't want policy requests going over the wan to the primary, instead, they (the policy requests) will go to the secondary site. for more information about all those different options refer to the Technet links i posted in part 1 of this guide pasted below for your pleasure: Technet Recommended Reading:- Release Notes for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager- http://technet.micro...y/jj870706.aspx Fundamentals of Configuration Manager - http://technet.micro...y/gg682106.aspx Supported Configurations for Configuration Manager - http://technet.micro...y/gg682077.aspx Planning for Configuration Manager Sites and Hierarchy - http://technet.micro...y/gg682075.aspx Example Scenarios for planning a simplified Hierarchy - http://technet.micro...y/gg712989.aspx Site and Role Scalability - http://technet.micro...iteAndRoleScale Getting Started with Configuration Manager 2012 - http://technet.micro...y/gg682144.aspx What’s New in Configuration Manager - http://technet.micro...y/gg699359.aspx Planning for Site Systems in Configuration Manager - http://technet.micro...y/gg712282.aspx Install Sites and Create a Hierarchy for Configuration Manager - http://technet.micro...y/gg712320.aspx Technical Reference for Site Communications in Configuration Manager - http://technet.micro...y/gg712990.aspx Migrating from Configuration Manager 2007 to Configuration Manager 2012 - http://technet.micro...y/gg682006.aspx Frequently Asked Questions for Configuration Manager - http://technet.micro...y/gg682088.aspx
