Thanks Josh87. We demoted our 2019 DCs back to 2016 DCs and problem solved. We are now working overtime to get everything off the VNX over to the Compellent.

Hi Luisnyc, can you do me a kindness and post the contents of that URL since don't have a Dell account? Just curious what it says. I think our solution is going to be to demote the new DCs I put up as 2019 and rebuild them as 2016. We haven't had maintenance on the VNXs since 2016 and we should have got rid of them 4 years ago, but here we are (I just started here last year).

How are you doing the drivers with-in the task sequence? DriverGroup001, Total Chaos, selection profile?

Figured it out...we were using GRUB to load the ISOs and the BIOS doesn't like that ISO emulation on the E7270 or E5470. Using Rufus to convert the ISO 2 USB worked fine.

Thanks, logs attached to posting. Looking at them now...looks like it's getting confused what partition is the boot drive?

I have a MDT 2013 server. Everything has been working, except some newer models from Dell are giving me heartburn (specifically the E5470). What happens it is gets to about 91% of applying the image, tries to do the next step and fails (see attached). If I type "net use", the connection to the deployment server has been dropped, but I can re-map it and ping never fails when I have it running in the background. I rebuilt the boot media (built a new MDT server, copied over the WinPE binaries), removed and added the drivers from Intel's site, but nothing will work. It also deletes all the log files from C:\minint\smsosd\osdlogs when it bombs out making troubleshooting difficult, but basically it appears to be dropping the network connection causing it to freak out. Any ideas? Using the full offline media appears to work mostly fine (I have to add drivers still, but at least the image goes on ) GEN4077-15.zip

Try WinSetupfromUSB:.msfn.org/board/topic/120444-how-to-install-windows-from-usb-winsetupfromusb-with-gui. You will need to integrate any RAID/AHCI drivers beforehand with nLite. Also, there's this guide: sites.google.com/site/rmprepusb/tutorials/install-xp-from-an-iso. Sorry, can't post links yet
