NetAdmin73 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hello DeployCentral Forum! This question goes out for anyone experiencing odd behavior from an Offline Deployment Media (USB). OS: XP SP3 During the media wizard, I select the Image File, Platform Pack and my Unattended Answer File. Once I click next, it asks if I want the wizard to update the answer file with the image file details...I click YES. Once I boot off of the USB, here comes my First issue, I receive the Welcome screen. In my answer file LINE#3 <welcome skip="1"> I have this set to "SKIP". I then click "Deploy Image" in the Welcome Screen and then comes my Second Issue, I am asked to select an Image File. I do so (Z:\WinXP.wim) and the image loads fine... PlatformPack seems to have loaded fine...no driver issues in the Device Manager.

Guest Sid Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Hi, One the machine that you created the media please navigate to %temp%\Media.log and send that to support@smartdeploy.com and we can take a look at what's going on. Without taking a look at the log, I can only comment on what I see here. a.) I see this answer file wasn't made with the latest version 1990. b.) When <deploy_wizard mode="Unattended"> is set to unattend the skip switches do not take effect if you want a semi automated then change it to <deploy_wizard> and then for each item you don’t want the user to see you would navigate to the skip=0 and change the value to skip=1. On the second issue I would need to see your Deploy.log. To get this: 1. One the machine that you were deploying to 2. Navigate to X:\Windows\Temp\Deploy.log if still in PE, if you have booted to the OS then it will be C:\Windows\Debug\Deploy.log 3. Send that to support@smartdeploy.com and we can help further trouble shoot. -Regards sid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
