Hi Niall, in your instructions here you state Does this still apply to the official windows 10 enterprise release? I searched the entire cd and did not find a PID.txt. I did get a new key to use from MS Partner and I put that into the "apply windows settings" but i'm still getting the error 31 during Setup Windows and Configmgr. Thanks for any help, Tom

Yessir!

Hey Niall, Thanks for your help so far. Running into an issue where after my task sequence completes i cannot alter lock screen preview, input a picture password, or do windows update. They just hang when you try to do any of them. The task sequence is pretty basic: I've tried adding an unattend.xml but with or without it the TS completes fine and the lock screen / picture password / windows updates still do not work. My boss removed all the basic apps from the surface and sysprepped the machine and all of a sudden all the options were working again. Any ideas? This is super frustrating. Thanks, Tom

Thanks guys I'll look into these links.

Happy Monday! Any one have an idea?

Hey guys, I'm struggling to figure out why Bing Bar is showing up in all of our win7 images. Can someone point me in the right direction? Did I slipstream the bing bar install into my .wim on accident? If so, how do I get rid of it? Thanks guys!

I wanted to note here (incase anyone else runs into the same issue) that our jacked up active directory was causing an issue with the net time command pointing to /domain instead of a computer. So I modified the net time command line to this: strCommand = ("cmd /c net time \\") & strServer & (" /set /y >") & (" ") & ("x:\WinPE_net_time.log") That way it pulls the time off of our SCCM server.

DeSchizz, did you ever find a solution for this? I'm in the same boat. Thanks,

Thanks Niall, i'll talk to the boss when he's back from vacation.

Niall, Thanks for your help on this. Your Virtual academy videos were extremely helpful. I think what I need, in order for it to keep the custom installs after the base .wim has been applied, is a way to capture the image after the task sequence is 99% complete that will save the image to the recovery partition for use in the "update and recovery" Has no one else asked for something like this? Should I just tell my boss we can just reimage the surfaces? Tom

Hi Niall, As always, thank you so much for your guides - it has made SCCM manageable! I have successfully imaged my surface pro 3 with a new UEFI-based task sequence. The only questions I have are: 1. Do I have my Install applications in the right place: http://i.imgur.com/MdBQdAA.png 2. When I try to Swipe from the Right Select Settings Select Change PC Settings Select Update and Recovery Select Recovery I can't choose either option "refresh your pc without affecting your files" or "remove everything and reinstall windows" My boss wants these features working in our image. Do you by chance have anything written up on how to make these work again? Please and thank you again!!! Tom

Hey guys, recently stood up a 2012 environment with SCCM 2012 and MDT 2013. I have successfully captured a win7 fully updated wim file in MDT's workbench off a Dell Lat 6420 and imported it into CM2012. My issue is when I try to build the MDT boot image it gives this error: Started processing. Creating boot image. Copying WIM file. Mounting WIM file. WIM file mounted. Setting Windows PE system root. Set Windows PE system root. Set Windows PE scratch space. Adding standard components. Adding component: winpe-mdac Adding extra content from: C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\1\rwiwfq0q.j4p Unmounting WIM. Copying WIM to the package source directory. Creating boot image package.

Please and thank you!
