[mdt] Removing some prompts during MDT deploy

[agarabaghi]

so everything is up and running, but Id like to remove some prompts that show up.

 

Time zone one...

Back up user data

Capture data

etc...

 

where are these commands hidden

Look in the properties of the deployment share in the workbench and you will find them in there. You will need to look on line for some of those you want to add.

found some... still searching for the language one.

Hi,

 

 

Here is a helpful guide: Deploying Windows 7 - Part 1: Windows AIK 2.0 Enhancements.

 

We are using MDT 2012, some of these setting may not work on older versions. Here is our custom rules (I am in the UK, so some settings will need changing):

 

[Default]

OSInstall=Y

SkipCapture=YES

SkipAdminPassword=YES

SkipProductKey=YES

SkipComputerBackup=YES

SkipBitLocker=NO

JoinDomain=DOMAIN

MachineObjectOU=Default OU

OU drop down list

DomainOUs1=OU option 1

DomainOUs2=OU option 2

 

 

 

SkipUserData=YES

 

SkipTimeZone=YES

TimeZone=085

TimeZoneName=GMT Standard Time

 

SkipLocaleSelection=YES

InputLocale=0809:00000809

KeyboardLocale=0809:00000809

KeyboardLocalePE=0809:00000809

SystemLocale=0809:00000809

UILanguage=0809

UserLocale=0809:00000809

 

KeyboardLocale=0809:00000809

UserLocale=en-GB

UILanguage=en-GB

So this seems to work:

 

[settings]

Priority=Default

Properties=MyCustomProperty

 

[Default]

OSInstall=Y

SkipAppsOnUpgrade=YES

SkipCapture=YES

SkipAdminPassword=NO

SkipProductKey=YES

WsusServer=http://keymaster

SkipTimeZone=Yes

TimeZoneName=US Eastern Time

SkipUserData=YES

SkipLocaleSelection=YES

 

It skips everything like it should, but now once the OS has been install, it prompts for TimeZone and Wireless..

I know these settings are in the unattend.xml

(4) Specialized

amd64_Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup

TimeZone: Eastern Standard Time

 

I also entered the OOBE Time Zone - Eastern Standard Time

And i also selected to hide wireless...

Your TimeZoneName doesn't look right. Try this instead...

 

 

[settings]
Priority=Default
Properties=MyCustomProperty

[Default]
OSInstall=Y
SkipAppsOnUpgrade=YES
SkipCapture=YES
SkipAdminPassword=NO
SkipProductKey=YES
WsusServer=http://keymaster
SkipUserData=YES

SkipLocaleSelection=YES
KeyboardLocale=0409:00000409
UserLocale=en-US
UILanguage=en-US

SkipTimeZone=YES
TimeZoneName=Eastern Standard Time
