[mdt] .Net Framework 3.5

[kennysarmy]

Can anyone share how they have automated the installation of .net framework 3.5 using MDT ?

 

I'm following the guide here:

OS|DC: MDT 2013 U1: How to Install .Net Framework 3.5 on Windows 10

 

Which basically says:

 

Open MDT expand your deployment share and right click on Package and select Import OS Package.

 

Pick the microsoft-windows-netfx3-ondemand-package.Cab file from .\Source\SXS folder of your Windows 10 ISO

 

Make sure that the step “Apply Patches” is enabled in the Preinstall section of your task sequence.

 

 

The above does n't seem to be doing anything, when I launch the optional features GUI there is nothing against .net framework 3.5

 

 

I've seen other instructions which say to do the following:

 

Create a Run Command Line task and type in the this DISM command :

 

dism /online /add-package /packagepath:”\\your_shared_win10_media\sources\sxs\microsoft-windows-netfx3-ondemand-package.cab”

 

 

I've not tried that yet...

We have it setup like this:

 

Under State Restore> Custom Tasks (Pre-Windows Update)

 

Add a new task for adding a new role or feature and select .NET 3.5.

Well weirdly I tried to recreate it again and this time it's worked - so all good - must have done something wrong the first time.

 

Thanks.

grab a windows current version disk

copy the sxs folder to somewhere and remove the other stuff in there you don't want

go into mdt and go to the packages section

on the far right click import os packages and point it at your sxs folder

it should now import dot net framework and it will deploy to everything you build (unless you filter It out with a selection profile)

 

sorry it started me on post 2 but that's all ive ever done BUT be aware if you imported it from an older version of windows than you are deploying ive seen that cause some major issues
