RE: [mssms] Win7 setup fails using MDT integrated TA

My complete stab-in-the-dark guess is that MDT injected a bad computer name (maybe too long?), but you told it to do that ☺ To confirm if that’s really the case, you should look at the setupact.log or setuperr.log yourself. It will tell you the exact entry in the unattend.xml that was bad. Th

RE: [mssms] Printer Drivers in SOE

When using Windows 7 and above (as I hope all of you are by now), you should use the driver store and import drivers as needed into that using DISM or the equivalent. (Forget about manipulating DevicePath or touching the INF folder.) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799258(v=WS.10).

RE: [mssms] What version of WinPE is in SCCM 2012 R2?

Technically, that’s not true – even with the Windows 8.1 Update ADK, you’ll still be using Windows PE 5.0 unless you manually apply the Windows 8.1 Update to the Windows PE 5.0 boot image. Thanks, -Michael From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf O

RE: [mssms] Microsoft's unified technology event for enterprises

25K isn’t the target – I don’t think there are any facilities in the US (outside of a complete Vegas takeover) that can effectively handle a training event of that size. I wouldn’t expect the “new, evolved TechEd” to be much bigger (if bigger at all) than the current TechEd. Thanks, -Michael

MDT will process the CustomSettings.ini file from the "settings" package that you referenced. Are you sure it contains the expected file? If that looks good, the complete BDD.LOG could provide more clues. Thanks, -Michael From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.

It's a rather nasty process involving SMS_TaskSequencePackage and SMS_TaskSequence objects, with embedded objects for all the steps and groups. Personally, I would avoid trying to do the manipulation this way. Yes, it's possible, no, it's not fun. As an alternative, you can more easily export
