First one I tried was the "User Driven Installation Replace Task Sequence" but then I deleted that one and created a Client Task Sequence within MDT TS. And I don't have a StateStore drive on any laptops or network drives. Do you think its the USMT step? I created one during the TS and its pointing to one of my local drives on my SCCM box.

No I didn't create that folder at all. Once I integrated MDT with SCCM, I created a MDT TS with all the defined basics such as unattended answer file, x64 boot images, driver packages, and our corporate x64 WIN7 image. Then, I PXE booted a new laptop and got this error messages. When I look in CMTraceLog and browse to My Computer I see that it assigned D:, or try to assign, as the primary OS and C: as a reserved drive. Do you think this is my issue within the Format and Partition 6.1 step?

Sure no problem..what do you think is the problem is?

Using PXE boot from the boot images to boot into WinPE..

Hi anyweb, thank you for your reply. I had a feeling that's what its trying to do but I don't know where to change the task to install it on local C: or different drive. I'm trying to create a TS for new computers; nothing to backup. I've tried disabling steps, and mimicking my other TS that works from SCCM 2012 prior to MDT integration. Here are some screenshots of my task sequence.

Anyone here can help me or point me to the right direction?

Hi, I keep receiving the below error message when attempting to OSD a new PC. I just recently integrated MDT and SCCM 2012 and created a new MDT Task Sequence. I'm not 100% sure where I need to modify a file or folder to allow the NAA to format and partition the drive or if I even need the OSDDiskPart task sequence step. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I keep receiving a 0x00001F40 error message when attempting to use OSD from an MDT task sequence that is integrated with my SCCM 2012 server. When I look into the smsts.log file, it is pointing to the "Gather" task step that points to CustomSettings.ini and my unattend answer file that I imported from my SCCM OSD task sequence. Would anyone know what the issue might be? Is it because I'm applying the task sequence to a new PC from the box and its trying to gather local data? If so, can I skip all the Gather task? And by doing so, where would I indicate my answer file?

Peter...thank you!! That's where the settings show 8:59 AM the next day. I thought by indicating the schedule in the ADR Deployment Schedule would overwrite any other settings....

Any other thoughts that could shed some light or guide me to the right location to look in?

Thank you for your replies. To dverbern, there is no maintenance window on any device collections or any maintenance window setup for that matter. To Peter33, everyone is configured and located on the same time zone, no differences there. Would another place to look at is office hours?

Sure here it is.

Also, within the RuleEngine log I see that the next trigger event will occur next Tuesday at 12:00P. So I don't know why it will install the following morning at 8:59am

Its set to "As soon as possible"

Hi, Could someone here tell me why my software updates are showing up on my users as "Scheduled to install after..." when I indicated in my Automatic Deployment Rule to run it Every 1 week on Tuesdays at 12:00PM? Below are some screenshots of my ADR Evaluation Schedule as well as what my users have on their side.

Hi, I'm experiencing issues with getting WOL to work within my SCCM 2012 environment. I have already enabled it on the Site server and verified that it is using UDP 9 as well as on the client settings. However, when I try to deploy an update package to a machine I have turned off, nothing happens. Below are some screen shots of my wolcmgr.log and wolmgr.log. Could anyone here tell me what I could be missing or where I can start my investigation?

Hi, Could anyone here shed some light as to why my Manage Out of Band options are greyed out when I select any Devices? The only option I have available is "Discover AMT Status". I'm trying to test my WOL feature using the Power Control options but it is greyed out. Thank you in advance.

I don't see how that would help me create a prompt to select applications to install. The setup that I saw was from my previous employer and I do not have access to it any longer.

Hi All, Would anyone here know how to go about setting up a prompt to select which applications to install prior to the OSD process? In other words, I would like the OSD process to prompt me asking which applications I would like to install without going into the Task Sequence and enable/disable the Install Application step every time I want to include an app. I've seen this configured in my previous job but did not ask how they set it up. It was a window prompt asking to input computer name and options to tick which apps to include for the OSD process. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

When you select a device and hit "Install Client", which package does it use to install the client? Configuration Manager Client Package or Configuration Manager Client Upgrade? I can modify the program cmd line for the Upgrade package and inputted the /ExcludedFeatures:ClientUI into "CCMSETUP.EXE /noservice SMSSITECODE=AUTO /ExcludeFeatures:ClientUI" but did not work. Plus the Client Package does not have any program in it. Any insight?

Great! I found that section. However, how do I prevent it from installing when I'm deploying only the client to discovered devices within a device collection? If I understand correctly, that is only for when I'm deploying new images, how about those who I don't need to deploy the image just the client?

Thank you Peter for your reply. I will try to implement that command, not 100% sure where I would input that command? Also, if I were to go the GPO route would it be under user configuration or machine? Not too familiar with working with GPOs.

Hi, I currently have a working image that has O365 already installed in the image. The issue I have is that the version of O365 is an earlier version and would like to inject the new version. I have tried creating a package that points to the source directory of the setup.exe deployment tool as well as a remove.xml file that will remove the currently installed O365; the cmd line reads: setup.exe /configure Remove.xml. I also have another package that would install the desired O365 version. The package is included in the Task Sequence, but when it runs it, I receive any error and O365 is still installed. Is there something I'm missing? Or would I just have to run a command line the refers to the source directory that contains the required files?

Hi All, Would anyone here know how to hide the software center from the start menu when pushing the SCCM client install to device collections? Either a setting within the client install or GPO? I don't want my users to see it when they click on Start

That did it Iroqouiz and Kevlar. I changed the detection method in the webroot TS to detect the File System file name in the local C: and did not receive any errors. I previously was receiving an 080004005 error at the end of my OSD process but that did not come up. So thank you guys so much for your help.
