SCCM & MDT2010U1 deploy roles and features.
Hi All, I'm working on serveral OSD task sequences to automate server deployment. Currently I'm having some trouble building a TS to deploy a XenApp server. I need to deploy some Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Roles & Features. I integrated MDT2010U1 with SCCM 2007 R3 SP2 so I can add the MDT "Install Roles & Features" step to my OSD TS. When I select features that don't require a reboot everything works fine. When I select roles and features that do require a reboot (e.g. RDS Server role) the TS will break during the deployment. Anybody experiencing the same problem, or have some tips to solve it? Greets, Coen

After some more debugging I found the cause of the poblem. To deploy a XenApp 6 server, I wanted to install the following roles and features: RDS, .Net Framework 3.5.1, Desktop Experience, Ink Support and GPMC. I did include all these roles and features in a single TS step. Both the Ink Support and Desktop Experience feature require a reboot. When you include those features in one TS step it will break your TS because of the reboot requirements. So I solved this problem by seperating these features in two TS step. I created a the following TS steps: "Install Roles and Features Part1" including: GPMC, .NET Framework 3.5.1, Ink Support "Install Roles and Features Part2" including: Desktop Experience, Remote Desktop Services Now finally I got all required Roles and Features....next mission will be installing XenApp 6 unattended. :-) Greets, Coen
