[mssms] RE: [MDT-OSD] UDI not reading variables

[Phillips, Coreland]

Jeff:
Just for a point of reference, in our environment we use UDI and currently have 
multiple forests/domains and ou's to choose from. Ultimately, we have the 
technician type his or her credentials (which I have found does not work unless 
formatted as UPN) after selecting a domain and OU. We still rely on the 'Apply 
Network Settings' step and we have everything set to variables that should be 
stored after entered into the UDI menus. This is the combo that works for us at 
the moment.

I spent more time on this today.  As I said, one issue was variables being 
pulled from an errant customsettings.ini.  With that resolved, what I see now 
is an issue with the domain join variables related to UDI.  If I use collection 
variables or variables set in the task sequence, UDI gets "corrupt" values 
(basically a string of random characters).  If I set those domain join 
variables in customsettings.ini, it works without issue.



Ultimately, I think I am going to do as David mentioned. . .rely on the apply 
network settings step in the TS and not UDI for the domain join credentials.



Thanks,



Jeff

None of the pre-defined variables are being populated in UDI.  For example, the 
domain join account is pre-populated in a locked field.  But it shows as a 
series of random characters, not the correct domain join account.  We also set 
the computer name with a variable, and UDI shows the MININT name, not the 
expected computer name derived from the asset tag.

I will check out the pausethanks

RE: [mssms] RE: [MDT-OSD] UDI not reading variables

[Jeff Poling]

I made some progress with this.  My settings package had a default 
customsettings.ini that was renamed to customsettings.ini.orig.  For some 
reason, that file was used instead of my customsettings.ini.  Once I deleted 
the rogue file, UDI gets the proper variables.

Now I have an issue with the OSDJoinAccount and OSDJoinPassword.  UDI returns 
“User credentials are invalid” even if I enter the correct creds manually in 
the UDI Wizard.
