Hi there,
Here is a little history of my siuation:
I have been deployment Windows 7 images for just over a month, so my experience is limited. I've had sucess deployment images until this point. I wanted to have a french image, and so I captured the image in the following fashion:
1) booted up a computer with the windows 7 in french and with the slight corrections I made to preferences etc.
2) access the MDT deployment share by the UNC path and ran the lite touch deployment script and ran the capture from there.
I orginally had issues, because I needed to remove the Domain information in the MDT 2010 rules section, as well as SkipCapture=no, and SkipTaskSequence=no. Since then, I was able to capture the image and no problem.
Then in MDT 2010 work bench, I created a new Operating System, under Custom and browsed to the .wim capture file that was just created. I also browsed to the set-up files of the OS, which I extracted from a win 7 CD. I hadnt done this before in my first attempt, and it gave me a error message during the deployment saying it was missing set-up files. I then read I needed to include these files which I did.
I updated the deployment share, and prepared to deploy this new french image. However, the computer after the PXE boot, restarts just before I see the task sequence screen. I have a custome background, and I can see that. I can ping the MDT server no problem.
I read to press F8 to enter CMD, and to access the log files however I dont have any at this point.
Another thing to note, is I needed to create a new model in Out of the box drivers for the dell model laptop that had the french OS. I added the network drivers, display and audio in their own subfolder.
I am out of ideas and I need to get this working soon.
Any ideas guys?
