Windows Deployment total unatended via MDT & Sccm Server Useing PXE Boot (Network Steve Forum)

Windows Deployment total unatended via MDT & Sccm Server Useing PXE Boot

Hi I have been asked to crerat a windows XP Image for deployment fully unatended install via Sccm Server, I have created an image useing XP SP3 CD in MDT, Added my Task Sequence Drivers and every thing I need in the image as all extra software will be deployed via the Sccm as soon as the new systems are picked up in the AD the Sccm will auto deploy packages to them, but the XP image when I create a CD to test it I then use the cd to boot a system and I have to awnser around 9 questions befor it starts the windows instal then the rest is all autamated, I have checked MY Unnatended file is there and the sysprep file I have also tried saving the unatended file as winnt.sif and putting it in the systems32 folder but i still get these questions before the windows installs I need to have 100% no questions how can I do this?Simplified: I made and Image XP SP3 in MDT, then Created CD to boot system with its starts up then I get asked 9 questions which I have allready answerd in the unetended file and the sysprep file then it installs windows with no questions, how do I stop it from asking these questions, I have tried to save the unetended as a winnt.sif and saving it in the systems 32 folder this did'nt help I have also tried to edit the scripts that are created in mdtdistibution folder this did'nt help, can any one help me with this i need a fully autamated install that I can push out from my sccm servervia pxe boot.The plan is that all i need is to install windows from PXE boot no aplications becuase the sccm server will do this once it picks up a new systems in the AD it will auto push all aplications needed to the system.So I am thinking there is something wrong with the scripts that are made for us I am not so use to these so all I can do is look at them with uderstanding of .bat files and some small java scripts but I have the bellow to show you I see in here it says Required (MISSING) as so should i be putting in information in place of the missing?<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <Wizard><Global> <CustomStatement><![CDATA[ document.title = "Windows Deployment Wizard" ]]> </CustomStatement><CustomStatement><![CDATA[ window.resizeTo 700,500 ]]> </CustomStatement> <Initialization>DeployWiz_Initialization.vbs</Initialization><Validation>DeployWiz_Validation.vbs</Validation> </Global>  <Pane id="DeployRoot"> <Condition><![CDATA[Left(ucase(Property("DeployRoot")),3)="X:\" or Property("DeployRoot") = "" ]]></Condition><Initialization><![CDATA[ InitializeDeployRoot ]]> </Initialization><Validation><![CDATA[ ValidateDeployRoot ]]> </Validation> <Body><![CDATA[  <H1>Welcome to the Windows Deployment Wizard!<H1> <p>Before this wizard can continue, it will need to know the path of a Deployment Share.</p> <span id=DisplayLocal> <table width=95% > <tr > <td align=right> <input type=radio name="ConnectionType" id="RadioCT1" checked accesskey=L language=vbscript onclick=DisplayValidateDeployRoot> </td> <td> <label class=Larger for=RadioCT1 language=vbscript >Select my deployment share based on my site <u class=larger>L</u>ocale:</label> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width=0px> </td> <td> <u>S</u>ite:<br/> <select id=SiteList class=WideEdit datasrc="#Sites" datafld="Description" accesskey=s onchange=ChangeServerFromSite> <option value="" >Select a Site:</option> </select> <div><label class=ErrMsg for=SiteList>* Required (MISSING)</label> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan=2>  </td> </tr> <tr> <td align=right> <input type=radio name="ConnectionType" id="RadioCT2" accesskey=M language=vbscript onclick=DisplayValidateDeployRoot> </td> <td> <label class=Larger for=RadioCT2 language=vbscript ><u class=larger>M</u>anually specify the server location:</label> </td> </tr> </table> </span> <table width=95%> <tr> <td width=0px> </td> <td> <span>Deployment Share: (format: "\\Server\share" or "\\server" </span> <input type=text id=DeployRoot name=DeployRoot class=wideedit /> <div><label class=ErrMsg for=DeployRoot>* Required (MISSING)</label> </div> </td> </tr>

It looks like a generic script to me, that still has to be adjusted to your organization... But what is this script supposed to do for you that isn't a standard functionality of SCCM??

if you follow this guide you will have a captured Windows XP image which you can deploy via SCCM using PXE boot with zero questions (ZTI). http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=569 and it doesn't take that long either, good luck My SCCM Guides http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?showforum=44

Hi Thanks Ill Give this way a go tommorow its a bit late here in sweden now but thanks for the help hopefully this will work the script is one of many created by the MDT tool kit when I create image for deployment. but yes I will try direct via the Sccm package and see if that works better, thanks for the help ill let you know how I get on.

July 2nd, 2009 3:45pm

The scipt along with lots more are made when I make an image via MDT on my normal desktop PC I go through all steps and package the image with drivers and aplications then I endup with a destination folder and a media folder both are much the same only one has the .wim files and the iso files in they both have other folders whith all the comands and instruction in and a script folder in with lots of scripts in that I asume are used via the deploment to tell the WINPE what to do and what to install, I just asumed that all the information that I put in via the MDT image capture and in the task sequences and Unatended and sysprep would go in to the scripts but maybe I am wrong and also need to edit these scrips as well (not really making this any easyer as it is ment to do).

if youve added the boot images and distributed them as specified in the Vista guide, then you can go straight to the Deploy XP guide. Please note that once you have succeeded in capturing your Windows XP image, you will need to deploy that captured image, and to do so follow part 6 of the Deploy Vista guide here > http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=518 except substitute the vista.wim file for the one you capatured for XPMy SCCM Guides http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?showforum=44

July 7th, 2009 5:19pm

The most recent computers all have an x64 processor, for that reason you need at least the x64 boot image available. Because the first time the computer boots in WinPE it is not in the Task Sequence yet, so it will first pick it's own bootimage (which depents on the processor).But does your computer get an IP adres??

USMT is not needed, you only need USMT when you want to capture User data and state.But did you use the correct network driver for your Task Sequence?

I was not able to inport task sequence from MDT had the following error Erro while importing Microsoft Deployment Task Sequence.

July 8th, 2009 11:51am

Did you import the correct network driver in your bootimage?

July 8th, 2009 12:02pm

well that will be the problem then as I never thought I had to have a single network driver inported in to the boot image is there an easy way to add I am assuming that this needs to be the driver for the lab system that I am going to capture my image from, the only question I have will I need the driver for each system in the deploment boot image when im finished with the building as we have lots of diffrent models?

Free Windows Admin Tool Kit Click here and download it now

July 8th, 2009 12:09pm

The default bootimage in SCCM is built on Vista, so the most standard/generic networkdrivers are already in there. Most times only the newest systems are not supported by the standarddrivers, but keep in mind that even if you are deploying an XP image the bootimage is based on Vista. So the bootimage needs Vista drivers.

July 8th, 2009 12:19pm

this in mind is there a way to edit the boot image and add the drivers i need?

Free Windows Admin Tool Kit Click here and download it now

July 8th, 2009 12:27pm

Import the driver in SCCM in the driverrepository (under OS Deployment). During the import you driectly have the option to add it to a bootimage.

July 8th, 2009 12:32pm

So I will only need the Vista and XP drivers for the system I am building & capturing on or for all models that we have?

In which step of your Task Sequence does this happen??

July 8th, 2009 3:45pm

well I think it has not yet reached this as it start the pxe boot i then get loading windows, next I get WinPE screen it loads Hardware devices and windows files then says starting windows then all of a suden restarts the pc and wont re boot via PXE untill I have cleared last PXE advertisement.

July 8th, 2009 3:52pm

That's the point where it should go on to your Task Sequence. At this point it could be handy to get an errorcode. For this it can help toput the password on, on PXE Server Point role and then boot your test machine back in WinPE via PXE.

i anm guessing that you are pressing F12 when you see the wds pxe boot menu and that you are actually going through some windows deployment services lti menus pxe booting via sccm should be automatic once the computer is imported in sccm can you confirm the steps youa re taking after powering on the clientMy SCCM Guides http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?showforum=44

You're running from one error into the next ... that's not very efficient at all. That's just my 2 cents.The language of the boot imagehas nothing to do with the OS to be deployed.

Missing network access account, wrong permissions on the target share, name resolution issues, ... smsts.log is the place to look for errors (as suggested before).

July 13th, 2009 9:45am

is a capture task enabled in the task sequence ? if not nothing will happen, also, you really should familiarise yourself with troubleshooting OSD by reading the logs, every time you deploy an os using SCCM a log file is generated on the client, usually called SMSTS.log (the filename can change see here http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=546 ) using configMgr toolkit (available for download here ) and specifically the trace32.exe log viewer, you can see errors in your logs in RED so it's easier to figure out why your deployment or capture is failing. my SCCM step by step Guides > http://www.myitforum.com/forums/fb.asp?m=188578

I think the problem is that our SMS client is set up to install manual at the moment via a web link that we have to double click and this will not be changed for the time being.

During the installation of your Task Sequence you already have to install you SCCM Client, and when I look at your log it is trying to do that... I think you have to check your client package SYD0002D. It has to point to the rootfolder of your ccmsetup installer.

July 13th, 2009 3:52pm

ok I will check that, just a little strange becuase I have so it install windows with nearly all drivers just thingerprint driver on laptops dosent work but there is no SMS client installed on the client systems eg if I later wanted to push an update out via sms i need the sms client installed on the local system I am sending the update too yes, but this is not installed via the deployment.

it should be installed as part of the initial build and capture task sequence in the Setup Windows and Configmgr stage of the the task sequence, you are referring to the SCCM client now aren't you ?????? my SCCM step by step Guides > http://www.myitforum.com/forums/fb.asp?m=188578

July 14th, 2009 9:47am

yes I am reffering to the SMS Client for the local systems that is on local systems were we can puss updates and aplications out via SMS and user get a popup telling them there is an update or new aplication to instal

a question, So I run the build and capture this will capture and image of the system I have set up with only the drivers for this system if Im right the problem being is we have 100s of diffrent model systems all which need diffrent drivers, so do I need to create diffrent driver packages for each deployment?

July 15th, 2009 10:32am

You could also use "Auto apply drivers", but it's recommended to use "Apply driver package". So you should create a driver package for each model.

this would then mean I can not deploy to all systems in one go, I would need to create a task sequence for each driver package and deploy to sigle systems, is there no way to use my ISO windows image I have all ready created that I have intergrated all drivers for all systems in to this way the windows install can install the drivers it needs on its own?

it's better to use the driver package for each model approach because when you need to update a new driver you just fix that package, whereas with your all in one ISO approach, you'd have to recreate the iso from scratch, recapture it, and start again my SCCM step by step Guides > http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1064

but this will not allow me to deploy to 100 systems as I would then need to send packages to them after a base windows install to set up all drivers meaning they would not be joined to the domain via windows setup as no drivers will be installed, and is sounding more like just doing a normal setup by inserting windows CD then after install inserting driver CD I am no better off, when if I check on HP site Hello all, If anyone is still interested, I've successfully modified the SmartStart 7.50 Firmware Update CD into a PXE bootable image file. Reply to this thread or email me if you would like further detailsthis would allow me to use my ISO image and fully autamated install with all drivers and joing to the domain.http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1247646761515+28353475&threadId=1007139Why can I this Sccm not just be simple like that............. This wa sment to make everything simple I should ber able to do a complete Uneateded install of windows with aplications and join to the domain just with booting from PXE but according to you I need to first install windows then push out driver package to each system depending on modlel then join to the domain, then aplications HMMMMMMMMMM I just confused were is the unatended part of this!!!!!!!! and the simple part with less work load...............................Also recreating ISO is easy I am useing NLITE wich allowes me to add drivers direct to windows source folder then turns it in to a bootable ISO for me all I need to do is point it to the driver folder on my network and click next.........

Why can I this Sccm not just be simple like that............. ConfigMgr is not complicated, but you should read some stuff before trying start implementing without knowing what to do and which options are available.http://blogs.technet.com/deploymentguys/archive/2008/02/15/driver-management-part-1-configuration-manager.aspxgives you an idea how to set up driver packages.

ok so if I understand this I have to create a driver package for each model then I need to add an apply driver package task to the task sequence with a WMI filter based on model type, I then need to Create an application for each driver that must be installed and then Add all applications to the task sequence with a WMI filter based on model type, well lets see 15,000 drivers how long do you think that will take me to do? there must be a more simple way top do this Dell provide ImageX to there customers and can supply a windows image with all drivers in it for all there models so why Can I not just create and image in .wim formate with drivers intergarted in to it for all HP models that we use.

You could basically do that, too ... or you could use "Auto apply drivers". There are so many different ways to reach the goal. There's no "one fits all" solution.

but when I add auto apply drivers in the task sequence how do I point it to the driver folder or will if find this its self and would I need to specifi and comands for it to run correctly ?

you can sort your drivers by categories, something like this limit driver matching to only consider drivers in selected categories see screenshot > http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/uploads/monthly_07_2009/post-1-1247661800.jpgmy SCCM step by step Guides > http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1064
