Correct Mike - A required TS will bypass the PXE password. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Marable, Mike Sent: 13 August 2015 14:06 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [mssms] RE: bypass pxe password for unattended deployments
If you have a mandatory deployment, the password is supposed to be bypassed. At least that has been my understanding all this time. We don't have a password on the boot image so I can't say for sure. We have a setup similar to what it sounds like your setup is. Our build is 100% PXE and never originates from within the full OS. When we do mass rebuilds we have the mandatory build deployment and a few moments prior we have a package that sets the system to PXE boot at the next boot cycle (a BIOs setting) and then triggers a reboot. The machine reboots, PXE boots, finds the mandatory build deployment and it's off to the races. Have you given it a try?

We have a problem with running applications and TS on 1000 PC's. The log files are showing totally different pattern. Reimaging manually costs too much time. I want to reimage all of them at night. They will not run the Task Sequence from within Full OS. :( Hanna From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Aubrey Sent: donderdag 13 augustus 2015 2:29 To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] RE: bypass pxe password for unattended deployments If it's got a client already installed, you can push the task sequence to it as required. Be careful with this. I'm sure many have lost their jobs messing this up. From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of H.T.

We want to do some unattended deployments at night but we do have a password set in PXE. Is there a way to avoid the password prompt ? We do not use MDT so I suppose an own password popup as a 1 st step will not be visible for the user. Thank you in advance!
