Windows 9, Threshold, or the 'next version of Windows', whatever you want to call it there's an invite only event happening in San Francisco on September 30th where Microsoft will showcase a technology preview version of 'the next release of Windows...'. If you didn't get the invite don't feel too bad, neither did we, however if previous events are anything to go by it'll more than likely by broadcast live via the web also (which is good news for us). This technology preview will probably focus on key areas that had enterprises shunning Windows 8, most noticeably the 'missing start menu'. For more info about the even have a look at the following links, ZDNet - http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-invites-media-to-meet-the-next-version-of-windows-7000033210/#ftag=RSS0966a21 The Verge - http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/15/6151417/windows-9-event-september-30th-san-francisco Networkworld - http://www.networkworld.com/article/2684094/windows/microsoft-sets-windows-9-reveal-for-sept-30.html

have you seen my post about the Surface 3 here ? I did not see the behaviour you noticed for the nic drivers, and i covered that in detail in my post I didn't see the bitlocker issue as I'm setting the registry keys as part of mbam client agent installation, however I will do up a post to cover it, thanks for the reminder http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/11247-how-can-i-deploy-windows-81-x64-to-the-microsoft-surface-pro-3-using-system-center-2012-r2-configuration-manager

no it's two servers, one for AD (active directory) and one for Configuration Manager, everything outside of that (other vm's) are your clients etc...

what does your netsetup.log file say (c:\windows\debug) ? you need to reenable the apply network settings step, it's used for joining the domain... "<![LOG[The action (Apply Network Settings) has been skipped because it is disabled]

probably missing network drivers and rebooting, what hardware are you booting, is it legacy mode or uefi mode, have you added any network drivers for that hardware to your boot wim as described in this post.

try redistributing both architecture boot images to your distribution points

i'm using the built in task, Enable BitLocker from Configuration Manager, so havn't run into what you are trying yet, have you checked for an updated version of MDT and/or read the release notes known issues...

so just run one of them and call the other script from within that one. Dim objShell Set objShell = Wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objShell.Run "WinPe_TimeSync.vbs" ' Using Set is mandatory Set objShell = Nothing

ok is it working then ?

if you follow either of the main guides above you'll be in a fairly good place lab wise to test things, there's two choices, standalone or hierarchy, so choose the one that suits your environment, a standalone primary should be plenty for most people, if you do decide to set this up then two virtual machines is all you'll need in hyperv or vmware, i'm happy to help you with setting it up cheers niall

i've tested multiple commands via a prestart such as cmd.exe /c echo 192.168.0.1 p01.domain.lab.local >> x:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts & cmd.exe /c echo 192.168.0.2 p02.domain.lab.local >> x:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts however in the guide above we are calling a script file using cscript.exe, how did you attempt to use the '&' symbol here ? you could try a simple test such as below, I've verified it works just fine calling the scripts in the order provided. cmd.exe /c cscript.exe prestart1.vbs & cscript.exe prestart2.vbs

and what have you set the OSDBitlockerMode task sequence varialble to ?

ok can you show me a screenshot of your Enable bitlocker step in the task sequence please.

well what does your smsts.log file reveal for the enable bitlocker steps ?

do you have a Set OSDDiskPart=true step anywhere ? see here for details

what does the enable bitlocker step look like in your task sequence ? can you show us, also have a read of this post it will give you some ideas of what needs to be setup in AD

you mentioned that you removed the format steps, so how does your task sequence look, are you attempting a refresh scenario here ?

are you using any custom diskpart scripts as part of your installation ?

can you show a screenshot of your actual problem, i'm having a problem understanding the issue

so the moral of the story here is that certificates are case sensitive I guess, thanks for the update.

of what ? the WIM file ?

what is this package ? CTG00009

is it a large task sequence with lots of data or what ? how much free space do yo have on the c:\ of the server ?

German site WinFuture.de has released a video of a leaked Windows 9 (codenamed Threshold build 9834) that shows the new start menu that could be coming to us in a couple of weeks if all goes well. Here's a screenshot of the new startmenu (source: winbeta) and here's the video of the startmenu in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=--wgAsHWNRE

have you tried disabling AV sofware and try again ?
