Hi all, I've never seen this before and its kind of hard to explain. So i thought i would attach a pic also. Simply put, the domain prefix is missing. So upon entering a user creds for the 1st time after imaging. The error displays is "Incorrect username/password" If select "Sign in options" and select the key image, i am able to then use my AD creds to logon. Has anyone else seen this? NOTE: The machine actually is domain joined, we just cant see the domain prefix. Some background: Win10 1803 Pro Image captured using MDT SCCM task sequence (SCCM CB 1802) Thought it could possibly relate to my unattend.xml which contains: SkipMachineOOBE = true HideEULAPage=true HideLocalAccountScreen=true HideOEMRegistrationScreen=true HideOnlineAccountScreens=true HideWirelessSetupInOOBE=true SkipeUserOOBE=true I understand some of those above settings are deprecated, however It was the only way for me to get around "Just a moment" hang during OOBEsystem phase of the deployment. Thanks all in advance.

Hi All, Last update i could find on this issue was here https://microsoftintune.uservoice.com/forums/291681-ideas/suggestions/9390618-no-auto-restart-with-logged-on-users-for-scheduled Has anyone got any updates on this or if it can be prevented somehow? Cheers

Hi all, Havn't seen too much (or that i can find) around anyone with experience of moving the SCCM primary to a cloud service, whilst still managing on prem devices. I understand that its more common to do this if you are going to manage your cloud infrastructure but not if you want to still manage your on prem endpoints. Only info i read was from a couple years ago and the consensus was it wasn't supported then by Microsoft. Bandwidth was the main concern regarding app deployment and windows updates pushing to endpoints. My thoughts: - Was thinking could we use an on prem DP for content. Prior to the cloud move we would pre-stage the larger content for use on the on prem DP. Any future deployment packages would have to be deployed over the wire. - Intune management? but would be with limited functionality due to Windows 7 clients rather than Win10. The end goal is to move all server infrastructure to the cloud and leave little to none on prem. Just wanted to put the feelers out for anyone who has run into this before and what your decisions were. Any links for blogs etc would be good too. Thanks in advance!

Hey all, Has anyone found alternatives around this? Link We have some users who are desperate to keep using windows 7 on their new MACs they are about to receive. Looking at potentially using Windows 10 in the future...but for the time being would like Windows 7.. (Win8.1 not an option). Can't seem to find anyone else able to deploy Win7 on the new Macs. Cheers

Thanks alot for the reply! ill take a look into the Dell link you have here. My only concern is that unplugging and re-plugging doesnt seem to detect it either Can only assume i have the wrong driver combination now. EDIT: the driver combinations in the link dont look to be too clear for SCCM 2007. Looks as though ill need to run RTK_NIC_DRIVER_INSTALLER.sfx.exe /s as a pre-start command on the PE image...cant seem to find the driver though. Ill keep looking...Thanks! Thanks again

Back having a look at this...any thoughts from anyone? Looks like someone is having the same issue https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ff5edd1d-402a-4229-b94c-5737d7590b4e/usb-nic-only-recognized-after-plug-out-in-within-winpe?forum=configmanagerosd

Hey all, Cant for the life of me find the right drivers for the RTL8153 USB ethernet driver that came with this Precision M3800 (booting into legacy BIOS, Unable to PXE boot to UEFI but thats another thread ) Injected every driver I thought possible into the x64 boot wim and also used Drvload to apply them. Still cant get an IP. On my windows 8.1 machine the driver installed from windows update is rtu30x64w8.inf. Ive Injected rtu30x64w7.inf which im sure is the correct driver which is also apart of the Dell cab for WinPE3.0 Tried the driver for XP, Vista, W7, W8 and 8.1 still no IP... Does there come a point with the latest devices where some of the latest drivers just wont work with WinPE3.0? With the latest laptops am i missing another driver that should be in the boot image in order for the NIC driver to work? maybe a USB driver? Anyone had troubles PXE booting with USB to Ethernet devices? Cheers

Hi Niall, In regards to management via intune or via SCCM. I heard their are limitations in using one or the other? EDIT: NVM found a nice couple of tables that can be found here

FYI my 5th capture worked....just be patient Must be a VMWare issue (Hyper V wouldnt do that )

Hey all, Just had a few captures go bad and throw up errors after the .wim is laid down. So seems the captures have become corrupt somehow. Im using dism to capture a VM. Which has been working fine up until today. What ive noticed between the captures that are successful and the ones that have failed is under the language that SCCM picks up from the wim after you add the .wim to the console. When captured .wim fails to deploy i see these details. When Captured .wim is successfully deployed to a machine. Anyone seen this before? Has my VM just become corrupt? My last 3 captures have the Invariant Language ( Invariant Country) setting and all fail to deploy...or is it just co-incidence? Cheers

I was able to resolve this issue by enabling the WMI-out on the outbound firewall rules. (Win server 2012)

EDIT: FIXED...........again! OS is server 2012. Seems the perms had been changed on the smspkge$ folder since i fixed it days ago. Its on server 2012…looks as though the smspkge$ folder had new ownership and the perms i added had no longer filtered down through all the packges within smspkge$. Ive had to take ownership back. Remove all perms. And re-add ensuring they filtered all the way down. And once again the TS started straight away. Cheers for the help Kevla.

Yup i can confirm. Cheers Kevla Edit: i know for a fact it only fails when the old packages migrated from 2007 sccm are included in the TS... I believe they are calling scripts that include UNC paths or something. After i added the machine AD account work fine... 2 days later...stopped working

Thanks for the reply Kevlar..I actually dont have an appenforce log file? (SCCM 2012 R2) Ok so this task sequence ive migrated from 2007 to 2012 it works fine as a bare metal build from pxe. So ive added usmt with hardlnks to this ts and now am trying to run it live on the machine. I select the ts from software centre and it does nothing for around 20 secs. And then this error pops up: CAS logs looked fine to me….or at least I thought I did. The only real error I could find in the logs was this from execmgr.. DC100017 is my ts ID NOW…I had this exact same issue on Tuesday. And I fixed the issue simply by adding the MACHINE IM TRYING TO RUN THE TS ON…..TO THE SMSPKGE$ SHARE ON ITS LOCAL DP. And then BAM!! Works a treat. So then I had the client add the built in “domain computers” AD group. To the SMSPKGE$ share on the DP. Thought all was fine and dandy. 2 days later…. Exact same error is back in the exact same way. So for some reason I have a permissions issue again…

Having the same issue right now... CAS log is giving me nothing.. 2012 R2 anyone?

Hi all, I want to add a customsettings.ini file to my build so i can apply timezone settings for each subnet. Though I don't want to have to recreate the entire task sequence as an MDT ts. What MDT steps do i need to include in my standard TS in order for it to read the customsettings.ini file and apply the correct times. Thanks!

Bumping guys..

Hi Guys, What is the best method too apply a themepack during OSD so users have the theme apploed during first logon? My reference image has the .themepack injected to %systemdrive%\windows\Resources\themes\themepack.themepack. How can i get this to apply during OSD? Ive tried extracting the theme pack to that location and setting the "themeName" value in my unattend.xml during apply OS task sequence step. Which did not successfully apply the themepack. Technet describes I need to add the .theme file to the ThemeName value and also add an image to Desktopbackground value. Though doesnt go into much detail. If i set the Desktopbackground value to one of the pics within the themepack folder. Would this still cycle through ALL the pics within the images folder as the Themename value is set also? I thought if i set the themename and desktopbackground values. That it would only apply the 1 image and not cycle through the rest. I understand i can apply the themepack from GP, though i would prefer this is done from within the build. All my research seems people are just applying .theme files and not .themepack files. Any help would be great! Cheers!

UPDATE: I cant for the life of me get my tablet to join the domain during TS. Im using exactly the same hardware as you do in your guide, and no one else seem to have any domain join issues with this. Im using the exact same TS for all my other hardware models which join the domain perfect. Connectivity to the DC's are fine. :S

Attempting to use boot media as i dont have a USB key large enough for my current image... I'm using the same USB-Ethernet adapter (DUB-E100) and im receiving "Failed to find a valid network adapter" Just needed to inject the vista x64 driver (from the dlink website) into my x64 boot image. It then found my advertisements. Cheers

BUMP: This error is still occuring. Initially i thought i fixed the issue by removing adobe reader and changing it to a mandatory installation upon 1st logon. Rebuilding machines now, the above image is still occuring upon 1st logon, for each new account creation. I really have no idea, logs are giving me nothing obvious. Hitting the windows key still fixes the issue, though this is not a solution.

Hi all, Weird issue occured today where any user logs on for the 1st time. They get a black screen and an empty task bar like in the attached pic. Exactly like when explorer.exe doesnt start. All i need to do is hit the windows key and all is good again. But i dont want to have every user need to do this for the 1st time. Could cause all sorts of help desk issues. I have updated video drivers, with no luck, gone back to native video drivers, nothing and also disabled everything on startup and nothing. Has anyone experienced this before?? I really dont want to have to do a re-capture of the image especially ifi dont know if it will fix it. Thanks

Ok so ive worked this out after a ridiculous amount of research which game me all the wrong information. Until i finally came across a buried post on the technet forums from Niall (surprise, surprise) Where he states that the .xml file MUST be named unattend.xml Where mine was previously called copyprofile.xml which was I was told to put in a earlier guide id read (not on here) So created my answer file using WSIM where i only stipulated the copyprile=yes I captured my VM using the sysprep command and specified the unattend.xml Booted VM into winpe and used DISM to capture the image I then onboarded this image to SCCM and depoyed it to a physical machine with the unattend.xml file specified. Hope this helps anyone. Deploying Windows 8 with SCCM 2012 SP1

Ive had to end up using the manual sysprep method with a copyprofile.xml file The capture semed to go fine, and i have added the wim to sccm. After the driver package applies, the machine reboots (as usual) and then pop up the "personalise" screen wanting background colors pcname etc.... completely removing any kind of automation.. Obviously this is not the case when using capture media. however you cannot use any unattend files with capture media. has anyone else experienced this? My xml file just contains settings for CopyProfile=yes Thanks

Thanks a lot Paul, I got around this issue earlier this week by doing exactly that! Couple of other things to mention. Even though the BIOS update applied...i was still getting an error after it was complete so i had to tick continue on error for this step. Reboot Run Lenovo script to activate TPM Reboot TPM activated and bitlocker no longer complained Thanks for the reply
