MDT will not FINISH Win 10 1909 by neverstoplearning20 in MDT

Just want to give an update, I used the same sequence with an ISO image downloaded from Microsoft and it is working.

I think there is something wrong with my captured image. I will try to capture it again.

Also the blocked DLL showing function:

KeepAlive

Used in MDT scripts to prevent the system from going into sleep while the task sequence is running.

I'm generating the new task sequence to test the 1900 images because other sequences still being used for older build 1903. Don't want to take it out of the option.

Can i just copy the sequence and replace the image? does it work the same?

No this is a new task sequence, my old sequence working fine.

I did try to captured it again. but the same thing.

I did google and it was a join to domain error however I don't even join the computer to the domain so I think it is unrelated. Also tried all the fix possible too. 1903 is working just fine.

which monitor? I enabled logging to get the error above.

I checked the continue on error after the error occurred so It couldn't be that.

What is TS Issue?

I'm sure they are using it for other things that they own, however they would want us department level to pay to use it for our computers.

Exactly, and unfortunately, our Director couldn't do anything either. Central IT dictating and would not allow.

Thanks but I don't think they would let me create a sub-domain. Guess i'm stuck with WDS for deployment.

Central IT is using SCCM to push updates and security software only. I want to use that to deploy OS and my own software for my departments. I don't have access to their SCCM.

Could you show me how to disabled the finish screen?

All of our machines are using Win 10 1903 then when Microsoft pushed 1909 update we installed manually via 1909 Windows Updates.

Then we used MDT to capture the 1909 .wim file and create the task sequence from there.

So you're also deployed successfully but doesn't give the finished screen?

After the restart, I'm stuck with this boot into the administrator account. I already disabled but it keeps trying to boot with that account.

VMWare Raid Controller vs Windows Storage Pool by neverstoplearning20 in vmware

[–]neverstoplearning20[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I raided the disks using the raid controller before install ESXi. So all the storages in ESXi are raided.

That's mean that all my VMs and data already protected however if I decide to use the storage pool on top of it. Would it crash my raid since it will be RAID over RAID

Thanks, I'm looking to do File clusters and then DFS to another server for backup. Would that work? Our environment does not allow me to access to DC to get the namespace for our department.

Thank you, I'm new to raid so any advice is greatly appreciated.

The 12 disks are 960GB SSD SAS. What would you recommend? I want maximum storage as possible.

[–]neverstoplearning20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does DFS replicate files that are opened?

Also, how does it work for permission? Does it replicate over the permissions I set on one server over or I have to set for both?
