I really liked having the local MDT documentation. It was really easy to quickly open it up and search for something. For example, this morning I was looking for the description of the UserDataLocation property. In the local documentation I could search for that property and instantly get the full page write up specific to that property. Awesome.
The TechNet library has always been a pain to search. Now that it's online I can be looking at the MDT help page (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn781294.aspx) and still have no way to search within it. The only option is to "Search TechNet with Bing". If I try that it results in 20 results that include forum posts and other random things. I can then filter to just the library (12 results), but even then not a single result is the page I'm looking for. This has happened to me countless times - so much that I went back and extracted the old help from a previous version and used that. This completely defeats the purpose of having it online since I'm now purposely using an old version of help because it works better. I realize this is more of a problem with the TechNet library, but I can't believe it's been this way as long as it has. Another thing they need is to do what SQL Books Online has done where you can show documentation for a specific version. I can't tell you how many times I've searched for something USMT related and it comes up with documentation for an old version. Would be nice to just click a drop down and have it show me that same page for the version I want. Am I missing something? Does anyone else have this problem? -Brian
