Prompt for computer name during deployment with WDS

$
0
0

I am using Windows Deployment Services to quickly install Windows Server 2008 on newly-provisioned virtual machines. Installation is unattended; the image and answer file are thoroughly customized to embed specific drivers and applications so that certain necessities (e.g., VMware Tools) are available at first run.

Critically, the machine is joined to the Active Directory domain without prompting the user for domain administrator credentials. It is absolutely essential that this occurs automatically and without administrator intervention.

I would like to augment this process in one specific way: to prompt the user running the deployment for a computer name. Without this augmentation, a domain administrator must provide credentials when the user inevitably wishes to assign the machine a unique name, which is undesirable.

Currently, the deployed machine inherits the client naming policy defined on the WDS server, setting a name of the form "VM%03#". This field cannot be blanked.

No permutation of values within the ImageUnattend.xml file (stage 4 specialize, component amd64_Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup, variable ComputerName) cause the user to be prompted for a value during deployment. Including the tag with a value, including the tag with a null value, and not including the tag all produce the same result.

So far, I have been completely unable to locate recently-written information (more recent than 12 months) that unambiguously describes how to enable exactly this prompt and nothing else.

Some have suggested Microsoft Deployment Tools, but have not described exactly how to implement the computer name prompt without having to completely reconfigure my entire deployment scheme, which would be an unreasonable amount of work for so simple a feature. Any acceptable answer must provide thorough and complete details, especially if it requires the use of tools other than WDS alone. Do not simply tell me to use MDT/SCCM without qualifying your instructions.


OOBE phase not processing

$
0
0

I am having some trouble with my OOBE Phase pass. It seems that only part of it is being processed. I am always prompted to create a user account but all other parts (network type, time/date, EULA, ect) are all handled by the answer file-but the username part is just being ignored. All I really want is for the machine to simply go to the log-on screen (the image already has a temporary account set-up, so I don't need another one to be created as well)

any help is appreciated

Here is the ImageUnattend.xml file ( have redacted the product keys, password and CPI source info)

Server Replication / Promote Issues

$
0
0

This is a follow up to an earlier problem but while i have gotten further i am stuck. 
Client Setup:

Server 1- old 2003 Server we want to decomission
Server 2 -2008 R2 SP2

Client had server one as the DC,DNS,DHCP,AD server
Server 2 was not included in this
We are trying to get everything transfered to server 2 to turn off and remove server 1.

Setup Server 2 as part of the domain, setup as DC and started bringing the rolls over. 
Running AD shows all the users, so it did sync some info and we thought everything was good. Shutting down Server1 through, users can not log in as there is no way to authenticate.

Below is the results of dcdiag /v but basically it wont replicate. On Server 2, Going to ADSites&Serv and then the new server then NTDS Settings and Running Replicate Now gives me "Error occurred during attempt to connect to the domain controllerserver2:Access is Denied". Trying it from Server 1 i get Error attempting to contact domain controllerserver2: The RPC server is unavailable. May be caused by a DNS lookup problem...."
DNS is running and working fine. Servers can ping and browse each other fine.

RPC and RPS Locator services are running on Both servers. I am logged in as administrator on both servers.

Someone Suggested Removing Rolls and re-transferring, but multiple Microsoft KB docs said not to do that but was not helpful in what they did say to do.

Cant figure how where the replication problem is and how to get them to sync.


Domain Controller Diagnosis

Performing initial setup:
   * Verifying that the local machine barknew, is a DC. 
   * Connecting to directory service on server barknew.
   The directory service on barknew has not finished initializing.

    In order for the directory service to consider itself synchronized, it must

   attempt an initial synchronization with at least one replica of this

   server's writeable domain.  It must also obtain Rid information from the Rid

   FSMO holder.

How to shrink a Res.RWM file for Windows Deployment Services WDS

I just deleted a bunch of images through the WDS console that we no longer need that are all tied to a single RWM file.  Is there a way to run a compact or shrink on that file?  I know it's single instance storage, but based on the images I deleted I would have expected it to shrink it a bit, unless that's a manual process or there is no mechanism to shrink it.

Access Denied connecting to WDS server when trying to Capture Image

Hi Guys,

I'm have a right nightmare, so I hope you can help...

My Configuration:

  • Server 2012 with WDS installed.
  • Domain joined
  • DHCP not on WDS server, but working fine
  • Install image configured
  • Created Capture image from install image

When I try to captured an image from a client:

  • PXE boot
  • Select Capture Image
  • Boots up fine
  • Select sysprep'd volume and name the image
  • Select local location to store image

But when I try to connect and authenticate to the WDS I get access denied every time with every account I try. The accounts tried are local admins on the WDS server AND Domain Admins.

I can drop to cmd line and map a drive to the WDS server with the same credentials and it works fine.

I'm at a loss. What am I missing???

Cheers

Dave

When i run the VAMT tool everything checks out fine for all products.  But when i run "slmgr /dlv all" the Windows 7 key is not listed.  It seems we are using the follwoing key

Windows 7 Enterprise - 33PXH-7Y6KF-2VJC9-XBBR8-HVTHH

Is there a reason for Windows 7 key to not show up?

I Have an active Directory setup within my office, and I wish to take advantage of Windows Deployment Services to deploy office workstations for our employees.

I have 1 requirement.

The DHCP server is an Mikrotik RouterBoard.

I need to know what options I need to set to allow our clients to PXE boot into WDS.

No one really seems to know what needs to be done.

Since there are options for using a 3rd party DHCP server software, I cant see why this will not work.

WDS, child domains and domain joins

$

Hi

I have a top level domain which has two child domains. I am having issues with image deployment and getting the machines to join the correct child domain.

  • The WDS server is in the root domain
  • Under the AD DS settings on the server properties I have set  the "Computer Account Location" to "Same Domain as the user performing the installation"
  • I have created a ImageUnattend.xml file that specifies an <UnsecureJoin>true</UnsecureJoin>
  • I boot the client, it does everything thing its suppose to but frustratingly it joins the root domain, not the child domain.

Can I use WDS this way to join PCs to child domains?

Cheers

Hi expert, 

I am using Windows server 2008, i am facing Internet connectivity problem.

It has been working fine, but its automatically disconnected from Internet access about 3 or 4 times in a day but my client computers are accessing Internet. When i would face this issue, i will restart the Server. After rebooting, it will be working fine as normal as before. 

I would be grateful if i get nice solution from you. Thanks and Warm regards.

Drive Letter Change - WIM Installation

I am making a golden image of my PC. I have two drives C & E in the PC which I need to make a golden image. I have made two WIM files one for each drive. For some reason I need to make the driver letters C & E only.

I could able to deploy it successfully. But After the deployment, I could see the system boots up with drive C & D. I need the D drive letter to be changed to E while applying WIM itself. So that it can be automated.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

The Mircrosoft fulfillment website that used to be found at

'http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/downgrade-rights.aspx'

now takes you to

'http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/windows-server/support.aspx'

From this website I can't determine how to request the server 2008 sp2 (32bit) downgrade media and licensing key.

Thanks Jeff

Hi Guys (again)

I am trying to deployment fresh images to PC using WDS using a WDSClientUnattend.xml. What I am trying to achieve is a wipe of the existing drive and an installation of the image.

I believe I have configured the WDSClientUnttend file correctly, but it always asks me about where I want to install windows and I cannot figure out why. Below is the file configuration. What am I missing? 

<DiskConfiguration><WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI><Disk wcm:action="add"><CreatePartitions><CreatePartition wcm:action="add"><Type>Primary</Type><Order>1</Order><Extend>true</Extend></CreatePartition></CreatePartitions><ModifyPartitions><ModifyPartition wcm:action="add"><Active>true</Active><Letter>C</Letter><Label>System</Label><Format>NTFS</Format><Order>1</Order><PartitionID>1</PartitionID></ModifyPartition></ModifyPartitions><DiskID>0</DiskID><WillWipeDisk>true</WillWipeDisk></Disk></DiskConfiguration><ImageInstall><OSImage><InstallTo><DiskID>0</DiskID><PartitionID>1</PartitionID></InstallTo><InstallToAvailablePartition>true</InstallToAvailablePartition><WillShowUI>OnError</WillShowUI></OSImage></ImageInstall>
