BrentL Posted March 23, 2013 Report post Posted March 23, 2013 So I have been building images for Windows 8 using SCCM. I am noticing that after I image it a few times during testing I am getting multiple Windows Boot manager entries in the "Bios" How do I get rid of these and what is causing so many to be created? Here is a picture of them on a Surface device. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted March 23, 2013 Report post Posted March 23, 2013 those are not BIOS options they are BCD options, To remove a boot entry option, use the BCDEdit /deletevalue command, more info http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff542202(v=vs.85).aspx how are you imaging your Surface Pro ?

BrentL Posted March 24, 2013 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 Thanks for the info, now I need to figure out to keep my task sequence from creating a new one each time run it or at least delete it during the task sequence. I am using a usb hub, and a usb network dongle from Lenovo. The usb is a task sequence media disk. Works great. I am using SCCM 2012 w sp1 and mdt integration. Using MDT task sequence.

anyweb Posted March 25, 2013 Report post Posted March 25, 2013 did you see my post on installing the Surface here ? it works fine for me and no duplicate entries in the BCD menu... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrentL Posted March 25, 2013 Report post Posted March 25, 2013 Hadn't seen that but, it is basically what I am doing however I am not using the raw source media but rather a captured wim. I build my Wim using HyperV machines. And just to clarify I do not see multiple entries unless I reimage the machine multiple times.. I am also using the Create MDT Task Sequence. I will keep digging and let you know if I find anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyweb Posted March 25, 2013 Report post Posted March 25, 2013 are you doing a new computer scenario or refresh ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reue Posted July 3, 2013 Report post Posted July 3, 2013 I am having the same issue. Building through MDT as a new computer, the task sequence does the format and partition disk stage but looking at diskpart after building, there are still 4 partitions remaining: - Recovery 300mb - System 499mb - Reserved 128mb - Primary 58gb Could this have something to do with it?

No that is because you are installing an UEFI deviece and the GPT partitions the disk that way, so its different compared to the old MBR.

janete Posted October 29, 2021 Report post Posted October 29, 2021 In my case I fixed it by recovering boot sequence (bootrec /FixMBR /FixBoot /RebuildBCD in Command line from Troubleshoot -> Advanced boot options) and then remembering BIOS settings and then resetting them to default, switching needed ones back and then booting from my system drive. This problem was not bcdeedit related at all because it showed only 2 proper records (only bcdedit /enum firmware showed the full list). Sorry for necro-posting, maybe it'll help someone too.
