You can't just go into the setupapi log files without a game plan. You need to start with the device in question. Go into the Device Manager (Devmgmt.msc) find the device that is missing (Yellow Bang !) and grab the Plug and Play ID from the properties. More Info:

RE: [MDT-OSD] Standalone Media drivers not installed properly

RE: [MDT-OSD] Speeding up OSD process

This should bump up the CPU performance for SpeedStep processors, and since WIM decompress/compress uses the CPU, that's where the performance gain happens. However, it shouldn't speed up disks, memory, network, or the CPU within virtual machines. -k From:

You might try the Power Management hack for WinPE: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/deploymentguys/2015/03/26/reducing-windows-deployment-time-using-power-management/ That won’t speed up the NIC, or the SSD, but it will speed up the processor, which in this case is processing the

RE: [MDT-OSD] LiteTouch Applications only prerequisites

TL;DR: Your MDT environment is hosed. Litetouch.vbs will execute the ZTIPreREq.vbs script to verify that the VBScript environment is running correctly, it will return an error code between 5002 and 5006 if there is a problem, and display the results in the “this computer does not meet the

Yes, SMBIOSAssetTag is not reliable, even less reliable on Server SKU's. As such, I try to avoid using isLaptop, isDesktop, and isServer. Typically, when I need to know what the OS type is within the OS (wks/server), I just use the SKU type of the OS. Additionally if you need to know if the

What was the BSOD number? What OS are you running? 0x7B? (Missing storage Driver) Something else? Might be a bad driver somewhere. Never heard of a BSOD with a keyboard plugged in. However you might try to see if there is a USB 2.0 only port on the machine, rather than using a USB 3.0 port

Yes, reboot, then repartition the Hard Disk to GPT. As long as you boot into WinPE on the next round in UEFI mode, MDT LiteTouch and SCCM OSD will handle the rest, including cleaning the disk for GPT for New Computer scenarios. Little 'r' me if you are doing refresh/wipe-and-load keith
