MDT Users

[ITGURU]

I have inherited a system which uses MDT to deploy their images. At the moment only domain admin credentials are working to deploy the image. if i enter any other user details they are accepted but then the screen just stays blank.

How do i add another user to be allowed to recover images to the machines?

thanks in advance.

Check that the user account you want to use has at least read permissions on the MDT deployment share. Also ensure they have the rights to domain-join machines, if that automatically happens as part of the task sequence

With the AD join account setup a specific service account that has delegated permission to add computers to a specific OU in AD then configure MDT to put the computers into that OU as part of the AD join process. Don't be tempted to use a Domain Admin account.

Perfect thank you! All sorted.

 

Also, i notice MDT is multicasting traffic across the entire network - all links are showing same bandwidth, Is there a way to stop this?

To turn off multicast deployment right click the Deployment Share in the Deployment Workbench MMC and bring up the properties. On the general tab there's a tick box for "Enable multicast for this deployment share" that will need unticking.
