Another possible solution, is to advertise your OSD deployment to the All
Systems Collection or a collection of your choice, but make the Task Sequence
available to Media and PXE only...
Don't pull an Emory ;)

I’m going to say, Spoofing MAC addresses in a production environment is not a
good idea. From: [email protected]

Subject: [mssms] response to: ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 meets Tablets – The ca se of
the “Unknown” For the full article just look at

As for this article, we found a different, yet fast solution to deploy
tablets. As for the request in the article to share this, I hereby send my
findings. First of all, my findings are based on a few different tablet like
devices, where the surface pro / or surface pro 2 were the most annoying
devices as they only have one usb-port.
I think that is a real design flaw of the device…. Anyway, luckily we deploy
our tablets with a docking station ( Kensington sd3000v ) where the usb2 ports
are all usable ( usb 3 ports on the docking station won’t work for deployment)
First we tried pxe deployment with a cheap startech.com usb to lan adapter,
which was unsuccessful due to the lack of pxe. For the surface pro devices we
needed the surface pro Ethernet adapter ( 10/100 mbit) so deployment wasn’t
fast , and as described in the above article, only one device can be deployed
because the mac-address would be assigned to the first computer. The solution I
came up with involved this cheap startechcom device, because I found out,
there is a utility which has a programmable rom, with the ability to write a
new mac-address ( takes about 20 seconds) This combined with a network boot
image on usb I can start the task sequence and deploy our image After the
deployment, I change the mac-address of the adapter and deploy the next device.
So far it seems to work. With kind regards Peter Huiskens Devices
