I'm having a problem that just appeared using MDT 2010 Update1. I'm using LTI, and all was working well. I had SkipTaskSequenceID=YES, so I would enter the task sequence I wanted to run manually in the customsettings.ini file. Suddenly the images started failing. I found that the Minint folder was remaining, While I was trying to figure out why this was occuring, I decided to try setting the SkipTaskSequenceID=NO and try the menu selection, but that would cause the image to throw an error right at the very end, which at least gave me something to look at. It is trying to run the litetouch.vbs again, and when it gets to where it tries to run DeployWiz_Definition_ENU.xml, it says "Error: 500 - Variable is undefined". I have found about 5 different things that other people have resolved the issue with but none of their resolutions have worked for me. Previously to this issue appearing, the images deployed flawlessly. It is now happening with every image I deploy, so I am thinking that it could be a corrupt file. One post said that "the function that throws an error is in file DeployWiz_Initialization.vbs. Restore DeployWiz_Definition_ENU.xml and DeployWiz.vbs from backup and see if that helps." I don't have these files "in backup". Would you have any additional insight into this? I ran the litetouch.vbs manually at the command prompt and copied the results which shows where the error occured and attached the file, I don't know if that will be any help. Thank you for any help you can provide. error.txt

I am fairly new to Microsoft deployments and have not been able to find an answer to this question. I am using WDS and MDT, and have set up Lite Touch deployments using MDT. The deployment server is on 2008 R2 and I am deploying Windows 7. In my custom.ini file I have SKIP Computername=NO. This is fine as we want to enter the computer name manually at this time. This was the only input needed, until I added the WSUS server reference and enabled both "Windows Update (Pre-Application Installation) and Windows Update (Post-Application Installation). Now, I am asked for the computer name two more times, (however the computer name I initially entered is diaplayed the computer name box, I just need to click Next). I am assuming that these two additional times are because the Custom.ini is being accessed prior to both of the Windows Update tasks being enabled, but is there a way to automate this as well? It's inconvenient to have to go back to click Next two more times when re-imaging a large number of computers, and I don’t really know enough to know where to look to remedy this. I've attached the bdd log if that would be of any help. As an aside, do I need to have BOTH Pre and Post Application update checked, or would Post suffice? BDD.log

Sorry---I should have posted this in the LTI forum, not the unattended file forum (although it may have something to do with the unattend file, I don't know). I will post this in the LTI forum.
