This worth which we have specified in CustomSettings.ini (Windows Deployment, Part 1: Configuring the Deployment Environment) and which is used by MDT to join the target computer to the domain. If we leave this worth as a Domain User, then MDT will be worldly-wise to join the first few computers it installs into the domain but then will goof to join any others. This is considering by default Domain Users can only join 10 computers to the domain. In our initial article, we made the worth a member of the domain admins group – of course, perfectly winning in a lab environment, but not so in the real world. This is considering of these three facts: The domain admin password is visible in the customsettings.ini The domain admin password is sent in plain text wideness the network The domain admin password is temporarily stored on the remote pc So, how do we overcome this??

You should do this on a virtual machine (use Hyper-V or VMWare for this).  This will make sure you are not redeploying for example, Dell drivers and Dell specific software onto a HP client. Tip: If you’re creating a “GOLD” master image for capture, then please make sure you use a virtual machine (not Virtual Box as it uses weird BIOS emulation!).   You could use your deployed OS in the previous section as the understructure of your GOLD MASTER. However, the machine must NOT be joined to the domain.  Put it in workgroup mode! Tip: If you prefer to build your gold master from a DVD or ISO of Windows 8, rather than the deployment task, you will likely need to transpiration a script as per this documentation: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2797676   Continue reading → Using Microsoft WDS & MDT 2013 to deploy Windows 8.1 Part 9 Apr 24, 2014Jul 24, 2015 / Severn / Leave a scuttlebutt Windows Deployment, Part 9: Deploying a vanilla build of Windows 8.1   We are now going to well-constructed our WDS setup by deploying a vanilla build of Windows 8.1.
