I'm trying to run the Microsoft Fit it Program that resets IE8 settings on a multitude of computers. I have tried -- msiexec /i "Microsoftfitit50195.msi" /qn but I get 2 prompts at the end of the process. I cant seem to find any other parameters to answer those prompts. Am I missing a parameter or is there any other way via GPO to force the IE settings reset? Thank for your help.

I figured out the issue. I had changed the advertisment to mandatory somehow during my testing. By advertising the Task Sequence as not mandatory fixed it. I'm not sure why this is important but it does effect the process. Thanks all for your help.

Yes it is a bare metal install. The variable is in the "ALL Unknown Computers" collection. Yes I am using an Unattend file. I have included the SMSTS.log from the workstation here. It was prompting me for the computer name when I first configured it. I captured a new wim and when I started to use it the computer name prompt stopped working. Thanks for your time. smsts.log

No name had been entered. Unless its putting something else in the OSDComputername variable.

I have configured the collection variables and created a task in my TS to prompt for a computer name for an unknown computer. It was working well while I was building and testing the rest of the TS. I have everything working and now it will not prompt for Computer name. Here is the error that is produced in the advertisment report: The task sequence execution engine failed executing the action (Apply Windows Settings) in the group (Install Operating System) with the error code 2149711877 Action output: interface.cpp,1126) m_pSMIInterface->setValue( SetupPassValue[eSetupPass], pszComponentName, pszPath, pszValue ), HRESULT=80220005 (e:\nts_sms_fre\sms\framework\osdcore\xmlanswerfile.cpp,768) this->SetValue( Specialize, XML::Shell::ComponentName, XML::Shell::ComputerName::Element, pszComputerName ), HRESULT=80220005 (e:\nts_sms_fre\sms\framework\osdcore\xmlanswerfile.cpp,884) m_pImpl->SetComputerNameW(pszComputerName), HRESULT=80220005 (e:\nts_sms_fre\sms\framework\osdcore\xmlanswerfile.cpp,2184) pAnswerFile->SetComputerNameW(sValue), HRESULT=80220005 (e:\nts_sms_fre\sms\client\osdeployment\osdwinsettings\osdwinsettings.cpp,376) ConfigureWinSettings(), HRESULT=80220005 (e:\nts_sms_fre\sms\client\osdeployment\osdwinsettings\osdwinsettings.cpp,637) Exiting with return code 0x80220005 Failed to open the Task Sequencing Environment. Code 0x80220005. Please ensure you are running this executable inside a properly configured OS Deployment task sequence. Unknown error (Error: 80220005; Source: Unknown). Some info about my TS. I am creating 2 partitions. I'm applying my own Unattend file via TS (Apply Operating System). I'm applying a (Set Task Sequence Variable) with OSDComputerName value %OSDComputerName% which is set in the collection I use. The task follows (Apply Operting System). I am also joining the computer to an assigned OU. (ofcorse this doesnt work because the name doesn't get set.) Can someone look at the above log and give me some pointers as to what to change. Thanks.
