im glad it's resolved and thanks for posting your solution it may help others. The sql service account is checked for in the pre-reqs and you should see this message if it is incorrect

what does the distmgr.log tell you ?

i've seen this before, check the account you are using for example see below for those that have the same problem as me, try signing in (to your company portal on iOS) with your normal account (omit the onmicrosoft.com),both accounts log on just fine to the company portal on my phone.... hence the confusion. I was trying to enroll using:- niall@windowsintunenoob.onmicrosoft.com which failed with the no MDM authority defined message.... whereas niall@windowsintunenoob.com worked.

It looks like Microsoft is delivering its promised more regular Windows builds. The company just pushed out a new build to Fast Track users of the Windows 10 Technical Preview: build number 10061. Highlights of the new build are new Mail and Calendar apps, based on the same Universal Apps as the Windows 10 for phones apps released a couple of weeks ago, and more configurability of the operating system's appearance, including a new dark theme. The Continuum experience, used in tablet and hybrid devices, should also be improved. As with the other Technical Preview builds of Windows 10, this isn't yet ready as a daily driver operating system, and Microsoft describes a number of known issues in its release notes. Perhaps most substantial is that traditional Win32 desktop applications cannot currently be launched from the Start menu. They can be launched from icons pinned on the taskbar, or from search, but not from the menu itself. via > Arstechnica

does anything show up in the software center ? is the computer or use in the collection that you deployed the apps to ?

use computer variables or collection variables

hi Tim, I havn't tried it in an MDT only environment yet, but i would imagine the results would be similar, feel free to beat me to it and post your results, in my testing I'm using SCCM CB with MDT integrated..and it works just fine

hi Mike did you read the log ? looks like those machines cannot contact the management point or distribution points, how are you installing the client and can they reach any dp via ping etc ?

how about just wiping the first 100mb with zeros, there should be tools out there to do that

two things, disable the deployment by changing the schedule to expire now, then update the machine policy on all clients that received the original deployment so that they get the update (and see that it's no longer deployed). If you delete the original deployment you'll have problems finding out who got it, and running reports to fix the mess. more info > http://www.niallbrady.com/2010/05/22/sent-out-an-advertisement-you-wish-you-hadn-t/

is the client registered ? did you read the log ?

actually, you are in luck (if using Intune standalone), see here Ability to manage Windows Defender on Windows 10 PCs running Windows 10 Technical Preview without need for separate Microsoft Intune Endpoint Protection agent to be installed via > http://blogs.technet.com/b/microsoftintune/archive/2015/04/17/new-intune-features-coming-over-the-next-week-for-android-and-more.aspx

can you attach your smspxe.log file ? any chance you can video the boot sequence you are seeing on the surface ?

thanks, not that i know of but who knows, maybe in a coming version it will support it (for things like HyperV Gen 2). meanwhile you can convert them using methods such as this https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2799257

as Windows 10 is not finished yet, there is no SCEP version for it yet, it does however have Windows Defender included. I would expect to see support for Windows 10 being improved once SP2 for SCCM 2012 R2 ships. As regards sysprep it works for me, have you seen this

if you want Intune Hybrid to support Windows Phone then "Enable Windows Phone 8 enrollment" must be selected, it will not work if it is not selected.

Introduction In a previous post I showed you how you can check for network connectivity before starting a task sequence in Configuration Manager 2012 R2. In this post I'll add a newer script to also check for storage (SAS, SATA, SCSI, Storage). The added code gives you new abilities to deal with hardware that has changed for whatever reason and it allows you to quickly identify the problem, and identify the storage vendor id and device id so that you can go looking for drivers. As storage is a must (the task sequence must write temp files on your hard disc and also copy packages) adding this change to the script was inevitable. I hope you like the results. Get the new script. Here's the updated script CheckForNetwork.zip simply replace the earlier script with this one as documented in the process detailed here. Note: if you downloaded the script prior to 2015/4/22 then please download it again as there's a newer version here with fixes and logging added. The new script logs to X:\Windows\Temp\SMSTSLOG\checkfornetwork.log See the results After implementing the new script in your boot image this is what you'll see when it detects missing storage drivers. As you can see from the message it provides the following info a reason for the popup (no storage detected) lists the detected storage controller lists the PNP Device ID identifies the Computer model and gives the user some options click OK to reboot. click CANCEL to open a CMD prompt if further troubleshooting is needed In addition to the above, it also checks for network (if and only if the storage check above passes), and in the event of a network connectivity failure you'll see this which provides the following info a reason for the popup (no network connectivity) lists the detected Network Card lists the PNP Device ID identifies the Computer model and gives the user some options click YES to retry (for example if the network cable was not connected) click CANCEL to open a CMD prompt if further troubleshooting is needed click OK to reboot. Well that's it, I hope you like the update ! please test it and give me feedback cheers niall

I havnt tried it but you could script it to create the required recovery partitions (two, one for recovery boot files and one for the recovery image) in GPT mode, and then script it to copy the backup image to that special partition, recovery partitions are special, they are hidden and marked with certain GPT GUID's as described in another post by me on UEFI Refresh scenarios.

read the guide again, you got the location wrong it should be... xcopy ".\*.*" "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows" /D /E /C /I /Q /H /R /Y /S

yes, use the UUID address instead

Parallels for Mac Management has been mentioned by many as a very good add-on for ConfigMgr, it even allows OSD for Macs.

follow this guide and use a file or select single computer http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/4505-how-can-i-import-computers-into-sccm-2012-using-a-file/

what happens when you try to enroll a device ? be specific please did you follow all the steps in my guide step by step ?

ok well if you see what it says, then did you verify that the client in question is approved ?

using required task sequences is risky, always make sure you know exactly what computers are in that collection otherwise you could regret it later, I recommend optional particularly when you are new to SCCM, as regards your problem, you can indeed start the task sequence in windows and as long as your task sequence restarts to Windows PE as one of the first steps. The step should check if you are in Windows PE and if not, reboot.
