MDT 2013 Automation help

[richbrowncardiff]

Hi All,

 

Anyone been able to Skip the Run and Credentials screen in MDT 2013 ?

 

I have SkipBDDWelcome=Yes in Both Bootstrap.ini and customsettings.ini as well as network credentials but no joy, and re-created the boot image on the deployment share

 

Many thanks In advance

Thanks for that. Unfortunately still the same though

Have you selected and ran the "Update Deployment Share" within MDT?

[richbrowncardiff]

Yes and re-created boot image,

You can add this to the customsettings.ini:

 

DomainAdmin=User

DomainAdminDomain=Domain.local

DomainAdminPassword=password

 

That's a way of doing it, obviously not the most secure thing, but if say it's just for a project it's not too bad.

 

If it's a High School though, I'd strongly recommend leaving some kind of authorisation in place as all it takes is for one of them to work it out!

have you replaced the boot.wim in WDS (or if you use the ISO images, make sure you are using the latest one).

[richbrowncardiff]

No thats a good point ! will try that now !

have you replaced the boot.wim in WDS (or if you use the ISO images, make sure you are using the latest one).

This would be my guess. You'll need to replace the boot image in WDS after updating it in the workbench.

Would also be worth checking that both the customsettings.ini and bootstrap.ini match

Thanks all, I hadn't updated the litetouch.wim in wds ! all working well much appreciated.

Yeh you need to update the deployment share and copy the Wim to WDS whenever you make changes to the boot configuration in MDT.

If you google it you will find ways to have WDS auto update after a deployment share update
