here's some videos of the Windows 10 Launch from yesterday, have a look to see what's coming later today :-) and (no audio)

Just when we were all getting used to the idea of Windows 9, Microsoft decided to call it..... Windows 10 Yup, Windows 10. Windows 10 will be shipping "later in the year" in 2015. Here's a nice video introducing Windows 10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=84NI5fjTfpQ Windows 10 represents the first step of a whole new generation of Windows. Windows 10 unlocks new experiences for customers to work, play and connect. Windows 10 embodies what our customers (both consumers and enterprises) demand and what we will deliver. Mobile First, Cloud First "Windows is at a Threshold and now it's time for a new Windows. There's about one and a half billion people using Windows today, Our new Windows must be built from the ground up for a mobile first cloud first world." We've heard those words before but it's clearer than ever, Microsoft is mobile first, cloud first ! Windows 10 will run across an incredibly broad set of devices – from the Internet of Things, to servers in enterprise datacenters worldwide. Some of these devices have 4 inch screens – some have 80 inch screens – and some don’t have screens at all. Some of these devices you hold in your hand, others are ten feet away. Some of these devices you primarily use touch/pen, others mouse/keyboard, others controller/gesture – and some devices can switch between input types. Enterprise Ready And to reiterate their commitment to the Enterprise and business, "Windows 10 is going to be our greatest enterprise platform, ever." Windows 10 will be our greatest platform ever for organizations and their employees. There are several reasons that business customers in particular should take notice of Windows 10. It’s not just more familiar from a user experience standpoint. We have built so much of what businesses need right into the core of this product – including enterprise-grade security, identity and information protection features, reducing complexity and providing a better experience for the modern needs of business. We’ve simplified management and deployment to help lower costs, including in-place upgrades from Windows 7 or 8 that are focused on making device wipe-and-reload scenarios obsolete. We’re also providing businesses with more choice in how quickly they adopt the latest innovations, and are delivering continued improvements based on customer feedback. So where do we start, well ironically enough with the start menu. Return of the Start Menu "We're looking to find the balance, so that all the Windows 7 users get a familiar experience on the devices they already have. Hey look, it's got the start menu ! (Running on Build 9841) here's the start screen in Touch Multiple Desktops You can view multiple desktops "multiple desktops at the bottom of the interface, and when you launch task view it shows all the apps that are currently open." And, there's a new "Snap Assist" UI at the side where you can grab apps from multiple desktops. Featuring Larger thumbnails and larger touch friendly buttons, Ctrl_V works in a cmd prompt window now ! here's the new Task View in action Terry Myerson, Windows chief, did the announcement of the Windows 10 name change. thanks to Warren at @the Verge for commentary/photos.

ok good luck with this one

you don't have to update ALL of your clients at the same time, in fact it's recommended to stage the deployment, for example take them in batches, with pauses in between to verify that all is going well, start with small numbers and increase as things get going.

not supported, and why would you want to even try this ?

I'm glad you figured it out and thanks for the update !

have you tried what i suggested above yet ?

have you seen the CM12 BitLocker FrontEnd HTA yet ? CM12 in a Lab - The CM12 BitLocker FrontEnd HTA - video CM12 in a Lab - The CM12 BitLocker FrontEnd HTA

you could create a package containing a program and the program command line is scepinstall.exe /u /s deploy that to a collection containing computers you want to uninstall SCEP from

hmm interesting, if you manually run the net use commands shown by the strcommand in a command prompt in winpe, what happens ? is anything in your winpe_net_time.log ?

well i think your problem is because the script isnt running at the right time (i.e. it's not running as a prestart command), i dont see it being mentioned in the smsts.log file at all (look at my screenshots where it says it's executing the script), then look at your smsts.log, do you see the prestart starting ? also, your other logs are of a different time, so you probably generated them when manually testing the script.

great to hear it ! for the sake of others finding this thread, can you explain further what permissions were wrong, and on what/where

hmm can you post the logs please, you can remove any domain senstive stuff from them first if you wish.

as long as that hardware is 64bit (i don't know, do check with support.dell.com) double check that you've got a 64bit boot image attached to your task sequence and that it's the boot image that is being downloaded, also check that you've distributed same to your distribution points

Tim ? nope, but for deploying Configuration Manager 2012 if you are interested.

if netsetup.log is not updating then i'd suggest it fails before trying to join the domain, does the smsts.log hint at that ? i've seen the 1878 year before and laughed, can't recall the reason, but it's probably a bug.

Hi all, We are looking for a creative engineer to work on the Global Restaurant Systems Management Team at McDonald’s. A large part of this role is being the subject matter expert for SCCM. Can you pass this on to anyone you think would be interested? http://www.dice.com/job/result/RTX195d67/wspos757242 Thanks, Morgan

read this post on the subject http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2014/07/14/bitlocker-pin-on-surface-pro-3-and-other-tablets.aspx

look at the recommended reading at the bottom of the post, i've a bitlocker section there

it is way easier to create ONE image on Virtual Hardware (keep it driver free) and then deploy that captured image to different hardware types using custom apply driver package steps based on hardware model detected, you can see how to do that in this post.

thanks ! I'd recommend you build the images in Virtual hardware and avoid 2 partitions, it will only cause you problems sooner or later, keep everything on the one partition as bitlocker, and UEFI will make you glad you did so later... anyhow, if you captured the image with two partitions it probably has index(s) of those images, one being the os, the other the 'data' drive, use the apply data image step to apply the D: drive, for network join, make sure you've got an apply driver package step containing network drivers for the hardware you are installing this image on to and verify if theres network connectivity after the restart after applying the os, if not, you need network drivers.... good luck

create some steps at the end of your task sequence to delete the bg backgrounds cmd.exe /c reg delete "HKU\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop" /v TileWallpaper /f cmd.exe /c reg delete "HKU\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop" /v Wallpaper /f

have you tried adding the WSUS role, what issue are you having exactly ?

i don't use robocopy, but you could try /copyall

have you looked at locationaware from rob marshall ? http://www.smsmarshall.com/Pages/LocationAware.aspx secondly, the recently released CU3 has some MP features added, http://blogs.technet.com/b/jchalfant/archive/2014/09/22/management-point-affinity-added-in-configmgr-2012-r2-cu3.aspx
