highest priority always wins so don't worry, if you scroll down the gui even more you might see other policies applied also

can you show us what your Endpoint Protection Update tab gui looks like on a client ? this will show you when it last updated and what version it's running...

attach the smsts.log file so we can take a look please

details, more details, what error do you get ? what environment are you using ? a screenshot perhaps ?

what do your deployment logs reveal ? anything left in the minint folder ?

you get more functionality and flexibility in Configuration Manager as regards to operating system deployment

well go ahead and develop a solution, we'll be happy to test it for you !

I'd recommend you integrate it, and yes time to start learning using virtual labs, a couple of virtual machines (hyperv is great) and you'll be up and running in no time at all.

when debugging stuff like this set your debug level to /v:13 like so http://www.niallbrady.com/2012/01/25/troubleshooting-usmt/ that will give more output in the logs above, in addition, you can simply add a /lac statement like in the following batch file below @set USMT_WORKING_DIR=%~2%\USMTbits\amd64 "%~2\USMTbits\amd64\loadstate.exe" "%~1" /c /lac:Password123 /i:%~2\USMTbits\amd64\miguser.xml /i:%~2\USMTbits\amd64\migapp.xml /i:%~2\USMTbits\amd64\wallpaper.xml /i:%~2\USMTbits\amd64\printers.xml /nocompress /v:13 /l:%~2\Windows\CCM\logs\SMSTSLog\loadstate.log the variables used above (%~1 and %~2 are as follows) if you dont want to use a batch file then modify the statements in your task sequence to match the above (more or less) and you'll be ok, the restore and backup parts of the above are all in the CM12 BitLocker Frontend HTA code available for download here http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/7294-the-cm12-bitlocker-frontend-hta/ why reinvent the wheel ;-)

what version (and CU Level) are you running in Configuration Manager ?

well do you want to use MDT only or MDT integrated with Configuration Manager ? if you are working in an enterprise I'd recommend the latter. See below for some guides for same. http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/4045-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-step-by-step-guides/

as Peter33 says, either remove the computer/user from the collection that the application is deployed to, or adjust the notifications (in custom client settings) for the Client Agent itself.

well have you tried to gollow the advice in the description of each of the Message ID's above ?

while Johans method is great, not every customer is willing to have copies of their apps both in MDT and Configuration Manager,

If you want to re-start the Task Sequence, issue the following command x:\sms\bin\i386\TsmBootstrap.exe /env:WinPE /configpath:x:\sms\data

which is not a good sign, are you continuing on error on the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step ? you should not... the error above means... The keyset is not defined. Source: Windows ----- after a quick search I found this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/840784

shouldn't need to see the comments above up a few posts..

probably missing content on the nearest distribution point, please attach the smsts.log file from a failed install and we can verify.

look at the task sequence it contains restore sections which you can rip out and use to 'restore' your stuff. No need to re-image if that's what you want

you can restore data backed up via USMT using this task sequence (Configuration Manager 2012 R2)

good idea, i'll put that together shortly and here it is ! http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/10905-the-windows-noob-mobile-device-management-guides-now-available-to-download/

wow, interesting, please can you attach your logs from an affected machine so I can take a look

you can find the logs (in Configuration Manager 2012) on the client before windows is running (in WinPE) in x:\windows\temp\smsts.log and after windows is setup in C:\Windows\CCM\Logs\SMSTSLOG you can copy them from the client to a network share using net use h: \\someserver\someshare then enter the domain\password

if a software update forces the ts to reboot it can break the ts in some cases, so yes you may need to get more methodical about what updates you are applying and remove suspect updates suce as KB2965788 which does cause double reboots on some hardware
