About the script

 

This script is totally automated and builds a complete MDT 2013 deployment solution for deploying the Surface Pro 3 with all drivers included from Microsoft right up to March 2015, all you have to provide is Windows 8.1 x64 Update source files and optionally Office 365.

 

 

Download it !

 

Note: If you haven't restarted your server in a while, then i'd recommend restarting it before running the script otherwise the installation of .NET may require a restart and that can have a knock-on effect on the installation of Windows Deployment Services.

 

Here's the new updated script.

 

Setup MDT 2013 for Microsoft Surface Pro 3 - March 2015.zip

 

Download it, unzip and run the script as Administrator in Windows PowerShell ISE, for the best experience try this on a new server with only the Operating System copied to the source specified in the variables.

 

I've added some minor tweaks in the script so that you can run it on a previously setup Surface Pro 3 MDT Lab (for example if you created it with say the January version of this script). If any step fails it will simply fail over to the next step, in other words, not pretty but it works.

 

Once the script has run you should see this

 

 

start up Deployment Workbench and review the new drivers...below i've highlighted the new UEFI firmware driver

 

 

all that's left to do is UEFI network boot a Surface Pro 3 and see the script in action, awesome !

 

 

to get an idea of what this script does see the original post here.

 

have fun, please try it out and give me some feedback !

 

cheers

So, maybe I'm clueless here, but when I get to the last screen shot above, and click next, it just reboots and I go in circles. So, I need to have another image/task setup to either try to capture the SF3 or already wim of a partition imported into the WDS for it to not keep looping after the computer name?

 

I'm missing something obviously.

 

Then it reboots and the message appears "An existing in-progress deployment was found but is not in an expected state. Would you like to ignore this in-progress etc..." Yes/No. And that is all she wrote.

 

Thanks.

press F8 and open a cmd prompt, look for the smsts.log file what does it reveal, most likely you have no correctly defined the deployment share connection credentials and it's rebooting as a result, or you have no network...

[techlogik]

No smsts.log file is created on the x: launch path/directions...did a search, nothing.

 

Thx

sorry, if still in the litetouch wizard look in x:\minint\smsosd\osdlogs

 

does bdd.log reveal anything ?

 

if after that look in x:\windows\temp\smstslog\smsts.log
