2012 Update 1

Cheers. Glad it wasn't just me! Keeop

OK, thanks. Shouldn't affect anything then. Log attached. I noticed there is a step to set OSPART (Check DriveLetter and Set OSPART variable) in the Scanstate section. Maybe if I moved this to the beginning of the Backup section that would solve the problem? Cheers. Keeop smsts.log

Yep, creating the WIM on the network share right now. I am getting 'OSDTargetDriveCache is DIRTY' in the logs - can you please explain what that means? Might have spoken too soon as well. The .WIM file seems stuck at 1kb, although I don't really know how ImageX works - does it create a 'temp' file somewhere else or anything like that? I'll give it a little longer then kill it and get that log across. Cheers. Keeop

Oh, MDT 2012 SP1. Keeop

Thanks anyweb. I'll generate one again without the variable dump. Yes, it's getting the computer name OK. It's working out the correct folder to back up TO, i.e. C:\backup or \\network\backup, it's failing to find the source disk - i.e., what to image/backup. I'll put in that OSDTargetDrive variable and I imagine it will work. Cheers. Keeop

Does something like OSDTargetDrive need to be set in the TS? Cheers. Keeop

Done some digging and it looks like it's this section from the ZTI scripts: If IsEmpty(GetOSTargetDriveLetterEx) then oLogging.CreateEntry "DestinationDisk and Partition did not yield a target Partition.", logTypeInfo If bRequired then oLogging.ReportFailure "Unable to determine Destination Disk, Partition, and/or Drive. See BDD.LOG for more information.", 5456 End if Else So, the function GetOSTargetDriveLetterEx is not yielding any results in the ZTIUtility.vbs script. I shall have a poke around but I'm no expert, so any help would be appreciated! Cheers. Keeop

OK, now having some issues with the Backup section. All the various options are bombing the TS. Looks like the ZTIBackup script is returning code 5456. Is this something you've come across before? Cheers. Keeop

Anyhoo, turns out the offline scheduled updates applied to the OS image borked it. Everything is working like a dream now, the bits I have tried anyway. Need to do some backup testing now. Great stuff! Keeop

Stuck with 2012 SP1.

Hi anyweb - epic TS!! Can you confirm that the the 'outstanding fixes' still need to be implemented? For example it says to change the line: arr[arr.length] = "USMTdropdown: " + usmtvalue; .. but I don't have that line, I have: arr[arr.length] = "USMTvalue: " + usmtvalue ..as the nearest match. Plus, this line was slightly different: "%~2\USMTbits\amd64\loadstate.exe" "%~1" /c /lac:Password /i:% The bottom line, my Windows 8 install is bombing out so I'm wondering if it's anything to do with the edits I've made that may not have had to have been made. I'm about to trawl through the logs to see if I can find anything. It seems to have problems after initiating a reboot. Windows then continues to configure 'devices', seems to complete it but then the TS error branch kicks in and displays a failure message. After that, Windows complains about an 'unscheduled reboot' and says the install can't continue. Anyway, off to the logs......... Cheers. Keeop

Hi, Yep, integrated: Ah, I noticed the drop-down this time to 'Ignore Dependency'. Got it! Thanks. Keeop

Hi, The CM 12 BitLocker FrontEnd HTA.zip file from the \SP1 folder. I am using SCCM 2012 SP1. Cheers. Keeop

Hi again. I tried unzipping, making some changes to the package ID's and replacing the Site Code etc., zipping back up but the import routine says 'the specified file is not valid' so I guess that's not the way to do it. I'm stumped then! Cheers. Keeop

Thanks anyweb, I'll try and fudge it. It won't actually let me import the TS, that's the thing. Complains about 'cannot validate a dependency to Boot Image Package'. Hence, I assumed I need to go and edit the .xml files etc. However, from your answer above, it sounds like I shouldn't be getting this error? Cheers. Keeop

First off, a massive thank you to anyweb for these fantastic guides - they are the best I have found. Now, on to topic... I'm having trouble importing the Task Sequence because of all the package references etc. - these all relate to your P01 packages which, of course, I don't have. Could you maybe create a list of reference IDs versus package names so I can manually replace your packages references with my own, or is there another way to look at this? I'd love to be able to use this HTA as it looks excellent and covers off a lot of the tasks I'm currently looking at. Cheers. Keeop
