WDS + MDT + ADK 10.1.26100.2454

[INeal]

Hi,

We've just built a new WDS/MDT using the latest ADK (10.1.26100.2454) on a new virtual Win 2022 server.

When a virtual client PC on the same VLAN does a PXE boot, it pulls down the LiteTouchPE_x64 boot image, and puts up the MDT splash screen but then goes to a command prompt.

If we run Deploy\Scripts\LiteTouch.vbs the expect wizard kicks in.

The wpeinit.log has one line with Error in:

"There was an error parsing 'RunSynchronousCommand' elements 0x8007000d"

Any ideas how to troubleshoot/fix this?

Thanks

Hi INeal, have you installed the windows pe add on?, has the deployment share got the correct security?

Yes, Windows PE add-on is installed. What security permissions are needed when using a non-domain joined WDS/MDT server?

[INeal]

The MDT bootstrap.ini file has:

[Settings]
Priority=Default

[Default]
DeployRoot=\\TEST-MDT\DeploymentShare$
SkipBDDWelcome=YES
UserID=mdt.deploy
UserPassword=mdt.password
UserDomain=TEST-MDT

I think I found the issue, after updating the bootstrap.ini I force regenerated the LiteTouch boot image and added that new bootimage to WDS.

Kicking off a PXE boot now successfully boots into the MDT Wizard.

your mdt.deploy account needs full access I think to your deployment share.
