Yea same here using domain credentials. This all seemed to hit the wall after I sent out a package to install sdclient on my endusers.

Tried it. Still popping up on me but not as bad So aggravating and support is not helping out on this at all. just upgraded to x.x.2030 and made the changes, nothing

What change were made in the beta?

Hello Thowe. Will the x.x.2020 release of October fix this issue? There is nothing in the release notes. You and I cannot be the only ones having this issue.

Where are the developers at? They are not posting anything where it may be related to.

This has been an ongoing issue in previous releases. Another post said version 2.0.2010 was supposed to fix the issue. Asking the customer for the logs is a waste of time. Please get this repaired ASAP as school is right around the corner and I am experiencing this also.

Any answer on this issue?

Thanks, will do

Hello, I get an Out of Memory error when opening default ppk. I do not get the error when I open individual ppk's Any ideas

Resolved

I figured it out after a long weekend. What I wanted to happen was a preimage task to wipe out all the factory partitions then apply image. I created a batch file called Diskclear.bat. In it I called a txt file called disk_wipe.txt Diskclear.bat had the following "diskpart /s X:\Windows\System32\disk_wipe.txt" disk_wipe.txt had the following. Select disk 0 Clean Create partition primary size=200 sect partition 1 active format fs=ntfs quick create partition primary format fs=ntfs quick exit. When this runs it gives me the reserved needed and the rest of the disk is 1 partition. As you can see I called the "X" drive. I opened my existing " boot wims" with imagex part of the Windows AIK tools. I was able to mount the boot wims and copy disclear.bat and disk_wipe.txt in the system32 folder. I was also able to add a preimage task to the Smart Deploy XML file " cmd.exe /C X:\Windows\System32\diskclear.bat /s X:\Windows\System32\disk_wipe.txt Unmounted and commited the changes. I then replaced the wim on my WDS and was good to go. As soon as I stepped through the Smart Deploy Splash screen the preimage task kicked in created partitions and formatted. Hope this helps

Get get it to call and run the pre image task. Getting frustrated.

I ran diskpart from Shift F10 and got the pc to do what I wanted. Reading different sites it is recommended to create a command called diskpart.cmd that actually calls a txt file that has all your steps that would normally do manually. I tried to get it to run by adding a preimage task to call the diskpart.cmd. Tried it at the winpe folder and the Ethernet folder. Thanks

Hello, I am not sure this is the place to post this. I want to be able to have SmartDeploy run Diskpart and wipe out any factory data and partitions. I would like to have the wipwe and load function run after that so it fills the whole partition with boot and system. Using recreate only fills the partition with the size of the VM. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. Jack

My partitions are much larger then my image.

The VM size is 40 Gig, Default for VM. The hard drive 0 is anywhere from 100 gig to 300 gig if factory multiple partitions are there. Wipe and load works fine if I make 1 Disk 0 Partition.

Good Morning, I am running into an issue with multiple Pc's & Laptops. When they ship factory with System, Recovery and O.S. Partitions the wipe and load function appears to work, but I don't think it does. The systems will go through the Clearing Volume then start to apply the image. After awhile it errors out. Support looked at my logs and said it was an error 112. This error says the partition is to small. If I boot a Windows 7 install disk and delete all partitions and set 1 partition formatted. The image process completes with no problems. Has anybody out there experienced this? Thanks, Jack

Good Day, I know this is an old post but I did find a simple workaround for this. Except the default naming convention and select " Joining Domain" Plug in your domain credentials. Save your XML as Unattended and export to a Jump Drive. Open XML and scroll down to the computer naming section and look for the domain input to join the domain. Remove the domain name and save your XML. When you boot a machine and it starts the unattend, it will halt since there was a skip put in to join a domain which it can't since there is no domain info present. Now you can add your computer name and the domain to join. I also edited the XML to have the Welcome screen come up. This gives me the option to backup migration if needed and I edited the image area so it stops there and allows me to pick an image to install Hope it helps.

I have a similar situation where I am at. I will have to follow this post.

Hello, I want to run a full unattend, but have it stop to pick my image, stop to input a computer name. I was able to get this done from other posts. Thank you all for that. What I need to do is prior to selecting an image I need to be able to password protect the unattend so students in the labs can not run an auto image. Any thoughts on this would help. running around to 2000 pc's and locking BIOS is not an option right now but is a work in progress

Good morning, When installing Smart Deploy initially, it is recommended to install under the c drive in a folder called Smart Deploy where numerous sub folders are created. Would there be a problem with creating a folder called " images &Packs "on a network share instead of the default folder of Images under the c:\Smart Deploy where the images and default.ppk is residing? Thanks, Jack
