[mdt] Sysprep and Capture. Do you need to use Audit Mode? No capture screen?

[dany2010]

Hi,

 

Just trying to a capture a image of a updated windows 7 machines using MDT sysprep and capture but i dont get the capture screen where you enter the paths.

 

My custom settings file is like this

[settings]
Priority=Default
Properties=MyCustomProperty

[Default]
OSInstall=Y
SkipCapture=NO
KeyboardLocalePE=en-GB
SkipAdminPassword=YES
SkipProductKey=YES

JoinDomain=THS.SCH
DomainAdminDomain=THS.SCH

SkipUserData=YES

UserLocale=en-GB
KeyboardLocale=0809:00000809

SkipBitLocker=YES

TimeZoneName=GMT Standard Time

UserDomain=THS.SCH

WsusServer=http://**removed**:8530

SkipFinalSummary=Yes
FinishAction=REBOOT

 

Also do you need to use Audit mode (ctrl+shift+f3) when updaing and capturing a os?

i presume you have created a capture task?

 

are you trying to run it via windows or via pxe boot as to run sysprep and capture you start mdt from windows so \\server\deplomentshare\scripts\litetouch.vbs

Ok,

 

To make sure you get the capture screen you need to make your rules and bootstrap as simple as possible.

 

Bootstrap:

 

[settings]

Priority=Default

Properties=MyCustomProperty

 

 

 

 

[Default]

DeployRoot=\\your deployment share

SkipBDDWelcome=YES

SkipProductKey=YES

 

 

 

 

UserID=administrator you do not have to put this in it's just a quicker way to login

UserDomain=your domain

 

Rules:

 

[settings]

Priority=Default

Properties=MyCustomProperty

 

[Default]

OSInstall=Y

SkipAppsOnUpgrade=YES

SkipCapture=NO

SkipAdminPassword=YES

SkipProductKey=YES

 

 

 

My normal rules and bootstrap are different when I deploy my WIM image.

I tend to simplify my rules to make sure that I wont affect the image and I'll just capture the image.

 

Once the rules are changed and the bootstrap, make sure to update you deployment share and replace the boot images (LTE) on the server to make sure that the new rules will take effect.

To capture it, go to your reference machine and from there go to your deployment share\Scripts\BDD_Autorun.wsf, and follow the steps.

 

Good luck.
