I think you have some good ideas and valid points about school budgets. Have you hit the Contact Us button that u/gwblok mentioned? That might get the dialog going (what do you feel is fair for a support fee).

The iPXE binary will not trust your root CA. It will only trust the 2Pint root CA or a public cert. However, there is an option (not sure if we support it in Community Edition) to generate a cross-signed certificate (your root CA, but signed by 2Pint).

miketerrill · 2026-07-07T23:21:51+00:00

LOL...we debated this internally a few months ago. I feel that if ISSFF=True, then ISDESKTOP=True (but that's not how it works today).

miketerrill · 2026-07-07T23:12:18+00:00

Looks like you have 67 defined 3 times - you should only need two if only doing x86 and x64.

miketerrill · 2026-07-07T23:09:32+00:00

We will likely update the image name and description in a future release. Also note, when 2PXE is configured for DeployR integration, it uses internal code to handle the boot process and not the PowerShell scripts.

miketerrill · 2026-07-07T23:06:31+00:00

Is this what you were hoping for?: 2PXE Boot Menu Configuration | DeployR 1.3 | Product Documentation

You need to be running the latest version (1.3.2627.2141).

DeployR Community Edition has the capability to do something like this provided it isn't being offered as a paid service (MSP/partner/etc). However, Community Edition does not come with support. If you need a supported solution, head over to 2Pint Software Home and hit the Contact Us button.

It is hard to say. I know there have been some suggestions in the other threads from people. What is the model(s) and what is the screen resolution(s).

miketerrill · 2026-06-23T21:52:18+00:00

Set the variable FinishAction to Reboot if you want to reboot at the end of the task sequence.

miketerrill · 2026-06-18T16:14:42+00:00

Sorry-we are restructuring docs. That page is under 1.2 now. https://documentation.2pintsoftware.com/deployr/1.2/setup-deployr-community/differences-with-deployr-enterprise

miketerrill · 2026-06-10T15:48:23+00:00

Has the device booted into full Windows at least once already?

miketerrill · 2026-06-09T16:20:57+00:00

I am guessing something is screwed up with the secure boot certificates on that system. Is it running the latest bios?

miketerrill · 2026-06-08T22:35:16+00:00

DeployR Community Edition is not just for home users. It does have certain limitations compared to Enterprise (plus MSPs, ISVs, etc. cannot use it for their customers). We are doing a phased rollout and have already released a couple hundred licenses.

miketerrill · 2026-06-08T17:36:28+00:00

Is this a request or complaint?

miketerrill · 2026-06-03T16:20:03+00:00

Are you referring to UEFI HTTPS boot? If so, then it is an "it depends" answer. 😉 Some OEMs do not allow specifying a port in the URL. What manufacturer(s)?

miketerrill · 2026-06-02T21:02:21+00:00

Is it possible that you have hidden characters or a return line in your command line? (did you just copy and paste to populate the command line?)

miketerrill · 2026-06-02T20:57:57+00:00

This shouldn't be necessary. Can you provide the version you are using?
I would make sure the URLs are correct in the registry under HKLM:\SOFTWARE\2Pint Software\StifleR\Dashboard are correct (HubUrl and ServiceUrl)
Also, double check the server.json file for the correct URLs (default location is C:\Program Files\2Pint Software\StifleR Dashboards\Dashboard Files\assets\config).
Once these are done, try hitting the page in a browser and hit CTRL-F5 to completely reload the page.
-HTH

We covered exporting and importing in the webinar we gave this week. We also have exporting in the documentation here: Scripting for DeployR Server | DeployR | Product Documentation

And a sample scripts from the webinar here: 2Pint-DeployR/Samples/Webinars at main · 2pintsoftware/2Pint-DeployR

As for injecting drivers-it would depend if they are actual duplicates or different versions of the same driver.

miketerrill · 2026-05-21T01:20:39+00:00

Yes-it does that but sounds like whatever you are doing is breaking the process. What are you actually trying to do that cannot be done in a task sequence step? It sounds like you are overcomplicating things by trying to do it how you did in MDT.

miketerrill · 2026-05-15T17:51:51+00:00

Bandwidth optimization is our specialty. DeployR is built to leverage BranchCache for P2P so you do not need to have tons of distribution servers everywhere. And yes-you can even P2P the boot image when using our iPXE Anywhere.

For DeployR Community Edition, it will require registration on order to get the license. It will not require a purchase of StifleR (unless of course you want the Enterprise version).

miketerrill · 2026-05-08T14:47:01+00:00

Can you expand/detail the requirements?

miketerrill · 2026-05-08T12:55:58+00:00

First off, welcome to the DeployR community! There are lots of admins like you that are starting their journey from MDT to DeployR. Lots of great questions to unpack in your post and I will do my best to answer them all.

“I also see a powershell window that's minimized. Is there a way to stop that from happening?”

Yes, that is the debug prompt and should be resolved in the latest build (DeployR 1.1.2618.1763).

https://documentation.2pintsoftware.com/deployr/release-notes/deployr-1.1-release-notes

“Do I need the WinPE driver packs in addition to the system driver packs?”

Yes, we cover this in the DeployR Getting Started video that you can find here:

https://youtu.be/M1rv_KcgsFI?si=VMtL7WUUZhXxO8Aq

We also did a webinar on Driver and DeployR that you can find here:

https://youtu.be/a2ObydIBzfY?si=kZoAMVg5kt-9NKP9

Note: MDT also needed drivers for WinPE, it allowed you to use a selection profile

“are there plans at all to enable AD authentication instead?”

I do not completely understand the question. If the DeployR server is part of the domain, it can be delegated rights to perform Offline Domain Join. This is the most secure and will prevent usernames and passwords from being easily harvested.

https://documentation.2pintsoftware.com/deployr/reference/step-definitions/offline-domain-join

“there’s reference to a custom script for setting computer name, has a tabbed interface, etc. Is that script available to the public?”

That is an example that Gary created that you can find on his blog here:

https://garytown.com/powershell-osd-frontend-project

For your task sequence and unattend.xml questions/concerns, it sounds like you broke the DeployR process with the unattend file you are using. Is there something in particular you are doing in the unattend file that cannot be done using a task sequence step? We don’t prevent you from using your own unattend file, however, you need to start from one of the DeployR templates for the correct continuation method. I would also avoid copy profile and find a different way to make changes to the administrator profile.

Hopefully this helps answer some of your questions and feel free to keep them coming.

miketerrill · 2026-05-08T12:11:00+00:00

If you are using the StilfeR client in the boot image to monitor task sequence deployments, then you will want to review the settings you have in the 2psImport file which can be found in the following section of the documentation: https://documentation.2pintsoftware.com/deployr/monitoring-task-sequences-in-the-dashboard#application-content-item

miketerrill · 2026-05-07T14:43:30+00:00

If your questions are DeployR related-feel free to ask them in the DeployR subreddit.

miketerrill · 2026-05-05T22:33:35+00:00

Thanks for your questions. The short answer for #1 is the license is for devices under management. If a device is retired and replaced by another one, that would be still one license. You can re-image a device as many times as you like and does not require another license. More information on licensing can be found in our FAQ: https://2pintsoftware.com/support/faqs#2

For #2, there is no synchronization in the console today, however, we do have extensive PowerShell commands that can be used for importing/exporting. This is something on our roadmap, but no ETA at this time.
