I have just installed a new test lab for Sccm 2012 R2 in hyper-v for testing different deployment scenarios. I have experience from sccm 2007 R3 in a production enviroment and sccm 2012 in lab. But when I started to test deployment in R2 I ran into different problems, like the Windows 7 SP1 installs on partition D. With the OSDPreserveDriveLetter variable I successfully captured a Windows 7 image wich was installed on C. When I try to deploy this without the OSDPreserveDriveLette Windows installs on D. With the variable, it installs on C but then the sccm Client is broken. I have read several guides how to fix this but with no luck. Anyone have a solution to this? Thanks in advance.

I have used SCCM 2007 for OS and sw deployment in our organization but after we got new owners I have to return to MDT. Our new owners use a ISO file from Dell Imagedirect to reinstall pc's and the use of 3 dvd's and external harddrive for drivers is not a solution Im happy with. Is there a way to use/import the iso (it is 9GB) into MDT2012 to replicate the Dell setup? The plan is to deploy drivers with make and modell as I used in sccm.

Do you have any examples/screenshots of ts with variables?

I have managed to deploy a new pc with use of a UDI TS (cm 2012 with mdt 2012 update 1) but I having trouble understand how this works for all scenarios; new pc, refresh & replace. Do I have to create a seperate ts for each scenario or just one with variables connected to the udi wizzard? How do I start/ the different steps? I thought it would be a step/menu in the udi wizzard where you could choose what to do. I want my users to be able to reinnstall their own pc's and choose refresh, clean install etc. I would be thankfull for any help and ts examples.
