[mdt] Unable to capture image MDT - Invalid DeploymentType

[bondbill2k2]

Hi Everyone, long time no post.

 

A couple of days ago I setup an MDT server to improve our deployment prior to Win10 deployment. While deploying a basic image Win10 with Office 2016 works great I'm looking to capture an image using MDT and a newly created scheduled task (all default Sysprep and capture task)

 

My current configuration.ini is:

 

[settings]
Priority=Default
Properties=MyCustomProperty

[Default]
SkipCaputre=No
SkipProductKey=Yes
SkipAdminPassword=Yes
SkipComputerBackup=Yes
SkipBitLocker=Yes
SkipTimeZone=Yes
TimeZoneName=GMT Standard Time


Bootstrap.ini:

[settings]
Prioriry=Default

[Default]
DeployRoot=\\MDTserver\MDTbuildarea
SkipBDDWelcome=Yes

 

 

While this works fine for deployment it doesn't work for captures, after reading around I found out the Product Key cannot be skipped as part of the capture process as it triggers the Capture boot page but soon as I change SkipProductKey=No or remove it both deployment of Win10 and capture of existing images fails with error:

 

Invalud DeploymentType=""

 

 

Any suggestions on why this might be occuring?

I can't say that SkipProductKey it isn't you're issue, as I'm no expert, but I set up MDT over a year ago with "SkipProductKey=Yes" set since day 1 and I haven't had any issue capturing. Have you got a log of a failed capture? Edited May 23, 2017 by Decimas6

In the process of setting up MDT again from scratch just incase!

I found this a little while ago, it has been useful when troubleshooting MDT issues, rather than messing around trying to get the log off the computer itself, you can set up to store them in your share https://scriptimus.wordpress.com/2011/05/31/mdt-2010-storing-log-files-centrally/

Reinstalling MDT resolved the issue, no idea what initally caused it!
