anyweb replied to afterhourz's topic in Configuration Manager 2012
you do NOT need an Intune account to deploy the Surface Pro 3 with CM12 R2, see my guides here.

I haven't tested it with Windows 10 yet but you can be sure I'll modify it to work with Windows 10 once Windows 10 hit's RTM and it's supported in Configuration Manager 2012

Update: Since Windows 10 was released in July, I've produced a new guide which replaces this one, you can read it here. Note: This post was done using a technical preview version of Windows 10 and due to that fact, Configuration Manager 2012 R2 does not currently support this (or any) version of Windows 10. As a result, this is not supported by Microsoft. I'm only doing this because I want to see if it's possible to deploy Windows 10 with the current release of Configuration Manager, which at the time of writing (Oct 1st, 2014) is 2012 R2 CU3. Please also read the Support statement from Microsoft about Windows 10 here of which I'm copying the relevant bits below: The next version of System Center Configuration Manager will deliver full support for client deployment, upgrade, and management of Windows 10 and associated updates. System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager or SP1 - we will provide an update to support Windows 10 deployment, upgrade and management with existing ConfigMgr features. System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (SP2, R2, and R3) – we will provide an update to support the management only of Windows 10 Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) will be updated with support for Windows 10. Step 1. Download the ISO and Extract the contents Download Windows 10 Technical Preview Enterprise edition from here, I used the X64 Enterprise ISO (9841.0.140912-1613.FBL_RELEASE_CLIENTENTERPRISE_VOL_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO) for my Guide. I then Mounted that ISO in my Configuration Manager 2012 R2 Hyperv virtual Machine and extracted the contents to \\server\sources\os\os_media\Windows10x64 you might also want to download the technical preview guide from here. Step 2. Add the Operating System Installer Image and Distribute Content In the Configmgr Console, expand Software Library, Operating Systems, Operating System Installers, right click and choose Add Operating System Installer browse to the path where we extracted it in Step 1 fill in some details about the image and click next through to the summary Step 3. Distribute the image to your distribution points Once added, distribute the content to your DP's by right clicking the image and choose Distribute Content. and continue through the wizard and continue through to completion Step 4. Create the Build and Capture Task Sequence In task sequences, right click and choose Create Task Sequence Choose the Build and Capture a reference operating system image option fill in the details and choose a X64 boot image Next, edit the Install Windows step, select any OS other than Windows 10 (which won't show up anyway, we'll add it later), in this screenshot I selected Windows 8.1 Enterprise. Note: We will edit this step later. for network select to join your domain and enter the credentials required select your Configmgr Client in the next step then next your way through on to the Capture image step (if you get any capture wim filename error, ignore it), fill in your capture details, click next through to summary Now right click the task sequence and choose Edit, Disable the Entire Capture Group (for now) and also disable the apply device drivers step as shown below Note: if you are deploying to real hardware, you should be using Apply Driver Package steps however check this post from Johan on the subject. And edit the Apply Operating System Image step, so that it points to our Windows 10 installer instead of a previously captured Windows 8.1 image as shown below Edit the Apply Windows Settings step, for Product key, use the key contained in the media's sources folder, in a file called PID.TXT file, otherwise the Setup Windows and Configmgr step will fail (error 31) later on in the process. Step 5. Deploy the Task Sequence Right click on the task sequence and choose Deploy, point it to the All Unknown Computers Collection, choose an Available (optional) purpose, and continue through the wizard until completion. Step 6. PXE boot a new virtual machine and start the process PXE boot your Virtual Machine (create a new one in hyperV), Press F12 for Network boot then you'll see the now familiar and very nice Configuration Manager 2012 splash screen select your Deploy Windows 10 Enterprise Task sequence and press enter, it starts applying the OS I'm monitoring the installation using cmtrace... once the operating system image files are copied down, the Operating System installation starts..and the os installation begins followed by a reboot and after the first reboot we get our first look at Windows 10 Technical Preview setting itself up, it looks a lot like Windows 8.1 :-) and then Setup Windows and ConfigMgr does it's work.. and we are done ! or are we yes, we are done ! Summary It just goes to show, that with a little effort, you can deploy Windows 10 Enterprise edition using System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager. Awesome.

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.

Client receiving old data from DHCP/DNS/DC?
anyweb replied to Atomic12's topic in Configuration Manager 2012
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.

3 Operating systems applied in 1 task sequence?
anyweb replied to giftedwon's topic in Configuration Manager 2012
not supported, and why would you want to even try this ? -
have you tried what i suggested above yet ?

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

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.
