Depolying Windows 7 to a BootCamp partition using MDT 2010
Hello,
I'm running MDT 2010 and Windows Deployment Services on a Windows Server 2008 SP2 x64.
I would like to deploy Windows onto a BootCamp partition using MDT2010 and WDS. Since Macs won’t PXE boot from a Windows server, the way to get the Mac to boot into the WinPE environment is by burning the WinPE ISO to CD and booting the Mac from the bootable
ISO.
I followed the following guide to build the correct Task Sequence in MDT 2010:

I added BootCamp drivers to the distribution share and created a WinPE ISO using the above instructions. I can boot into WinPE and I have network access, however the LiteTouch process ends at the disk format stage with the following error:
ZTI ERROR - Non-zero return code by LiteTouch, rc = -2147467259 0x80004005]LOG]!><time="02:16:14.000+000" date="09-13-2010" component="LiteTouch" context="" type="3" thread="" file="LiteTouch">
I’ve made some research and quickly found that this is a very generic error and basically doesn’t say much. I was able to grab the LiteTouch log files to take a closer look, but there’s no further information available.
In WinPE, I manually ran the commands described in the DiskPartMac script and they work fine.
Does anyone know why the process is failing?
Thanks in advance.
