Similar problem here too. We are building surface pro 4 from the Microsoft Docks. The surface is taking the mac from the dock and adding it into sccm under the machine. Had to add a reg entry to exclude the mac of the dock.

Could always check the SMSPXE log to check whats happening when booting to the network.

Have you looked in the [Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup] section of your xml to make sure everything is correct?

I use Server 2012 R2 for image deployment. But for the odd machine I use ImageX through a USB or SSD ( to usb converter) with the image you want to deploy saved on it.

Just to update you guys I have now sorted this by using Scanstate.exe and loadstate. Real easy once you know how

Hello guys, I have a couple PCs running Windows 7 x32 which I would like to replace with new machines running Windows 10 x64. I would like to migrate the user data from one to the other. Is there a away I can do this offline like onto removable storage? Thanks for your thoughts.

It might be because the driver is not signed? OR its the wrong architecture?

Wasnt there a MS Media player service that caused all sorts of issues when syspreping? Edit: its this service, recommended to disable it before capture - Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service

Hi Tom, Sorry i've only just seen your message. I currently have two scripts which can accomplish changing the admin password to a serial - both are similar. For this to work you would need to set the execution policy to remotesigned. Both find the serial from a querying the bios, and store it as a variable. It then calls the variable at the end of the password entry. Im no coder, so anyone with any idea about coding could probably do this 10 x better / easier, but both seem to work really well (inside the os)

Hi guys, I have a batch file that will change the local admin password to a serial number. If I run it inside the OS with admin rights it works without issue. Is there a way I can add this to my task seq in SCCM? I have tried making a package etc but it doesn't seem to change the password - almost like it needs to be running the OS for the password to change. Any thoughts appreciated.. Thanks

Is the machine you are trying to connect to actually connected to the network? If so, you should be able to get an ip from it... You could push out VNC to each remote computer, then just connect to it when you need it. Its only a service that runs so wouldn't bloat your machines out too much

Hi Guys I was wondering if anyone uses any software to monitor there hardware? Ideally what I was thinking was a light weight application to install on the machine that would feedback information to me? Would be great if it was free too! Any suggestions appreciated. Cheers PS: Mainly on desktop machines

You could sysprep it manually, set it to shutdown after sysprep, make a winePE stick and use Imagex to capture the image. Boot from the winpe media and capture with imagex.. Imagex.exe /capture C:\ \myimage.wim 'MyImage' Building winpe with imagex - https://emeneye.wordpress.com/2012/04/13/creating-a-winpe-usb-drive-with-imagex/ Building winpe - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709665(v=ws.10).aspx

As long as there is enough room for the OS on the disk it shouldn't make a difference. Could you not just take a .wim of one, and deploy it onto the ssd?

I integrated it with SCCM a year ago. So far I have only used it to rename new builds to serial numbers of the machine by using some of the resources available (Edit: MDT Toolkit) (i know you could probably do this in powershell or some other way), but it appears to work really well and I haven't had any problems with it so far. You can do allot more and to be honest, personally I would just do it in case its needed in the future if that make sense...
