unless you are doing a clean install, and already have CM12 R2 then use System Center 2012 Configuration Manager and Endpoint Protection With Service Pack 2 for more info please see this post http://www.niallbrady.com/2015/05/16/confused-about-the-system-center-2012-r2-configuration-manager-sp1-and-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-sp2/ cheers niall

when creating a deploy windows 7 task sequence on the State Migration step simply point it to the built in User State Migration Tool for Windows 8.1 package that is created in SCCM 2012 R2, remember to distribute this package to all distribution points.

no you don't have to install USMT when using Configuration Manager 2012 SP1 or later, what operating system are you planning on migrating from and to ?

of course you can do it with configuration Manager, here's some guides for that. CM12 in a lab - Part 7. Build and Capture Windows 7 X64 CM12 in a lab - Part 8. Deploying Windows 7 X64 as regards drivers, no you do NOT need to capture three different images, instead, capture one image from a virtual machine (hyperv or vmware or whatever virtualization software you prefer), and use Apply Driver Package steps in the deploy task sequence to apply the correct drivers to the correct hardware based on wmi queries in the options tab of each step this is explained in more detail here and here (step 5)

well it looks like it is running the step fine and probably displaying the info to SYSTEM which is why you can't see it, have you tried opening the taskmgr and checking if MSHTA.exe is actually running at that point, i know you tried serviceUI.exe which is the suggested workaround, however, do you have the logs of that step also ?

what does the smsts.log file tell you about the step in question ?

try this to get your site up to Windows 10 ADK http://freshblog.azurewebsites.net/2015/08/13/create-and-import-windows-10-winpe-into-your-sccm-environment/ or import the wim's 'as is' using this method http://www.niallbrady.com/2013/10/09/how-can-i-manually-add-winpe-5-boot-images-to-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-sp1-cu3/

here's an alternative, connect the usb 3.0 adaptor (nic) to a usb hub.

looks good to me, what happens after this ?

please attach your actual smsts.log so i can take a look, did you create the partition UEFI step yourself ?

haev you looked at the CM12 UEFI BitLocker hta yet, it's got a pre-made UEFI capable task sequence and all scripts, available here http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/11864-the-cm12-uefi-bitlocker-frontend-hta-part-1-the-features/

looks like you are trying to apply a driver package in the wrong part of windows, it should occur before winpe boots into Windows, not after.

what exactly is your problem though, is PXE boot failing on a client, if so what is the error it gets

from your log so you need to grab the sysprep logs in the panther dir and post them here C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\Panther the following files will contain info pointing to the failure:- setupact.log setuperr.log as regards are you capturing on real hardware ? that's not a good idea, use Virtual Machines for creating images as I explain in the videos linked here.

you only need Johan's workaround if still using SCCM 2012 R2 (not upgraded to SP1 CU1).

which cmdlet are you referring to ?

that's a problem ! you must have a CLEAN shutdown otherwise it will always 'resume from standby' and cannot PXE boot or USB boot in that mode, chicken/egg... so... Power it on and hold the powerbutton down to force it off for 13 seconds, count them, slowly. then try again, you'll get it right after about 4 attempts...

ah you are running CM12R2SP1 ? you didn't say, it's a known bug not yet fixed yet (as of aug 8th, 2015) to resolve simply set the deployment availability time to the day before and try again

it won't boot to a USB drive because of a few factors such as is the USB drive formatted with NTFS, if so, it won't work, UEFI boot must be FAT32 is the USB drive using an x86 boot image ? if so it won't work, UEFI deployments to the Surface Pro 3 must use an x64 boot image thirdly, to boot to USB, shutdown the surface pro 3 correctly (start, shutdown) then power it on by pressing and holding VOLUME down, then briefly press the power button, it should then boot from the USB device

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/
