  1. Yep, registry fix didn't work for me either. I was successful once I went to my Microsoft Volume License account and downloaded the most up-to-date version of Windows 10, with the Fall Creator's update already installed as part of the image. You will have to do the same in order to be successful.
  2. *FIX* I'm copying this from my other post to someone else's related thread: When I went from the original Windows 10 build to the Creators Update in my image, SysPrep would not complete successfully on the newly imaged SmartDeploy machine. SmartDeploy was useless at this point. I had to go to Microsoft Volume License and download the most up-to-date .iso of Windows 10, including the Creators Update. I recreated my image using this install media, burned SmartDeploy to USB and everything worked fine. Moral of the story: Don't upgrade your image. Rebuild it with a newly installed (and updated) OS.

  4. Can I please get instructions on how to change the default SmartDeploy Directory within the settings menu. I see that it is a drop down, which tells me that I should be able to modify a config file to specify another location. My reason for this is that I have all of my platform packs, answer files, and images on a network shared server that I have mapped to the SmartDeploy host computer (drive letter H:). I've tried modifying the config file at: C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartDeploy\SmartDeploy Enterprise\Resources\Configuration\SmartDeploy.config I've tried a UNC path as well as the mapped drive letter, which happens to be: H:\Smartdeploy Once modifying the config file I restart the console service, as well as the program, and I go back into the settings menu and the default location changes to a blank default dropdown with a secondary option to choose the C:\Smartdeploy. How do I get the H:\Smartdeploy to show up in this list.
  5. How about somebody actually post it up in the support forums because I see this as a useful task? Where can the masses find this information because I'm curious as well.
  6. I found the instructions in the User Guide. Open up the SmartDeploy Enterprise software, click on Tools. Click on User Guide and go down to page 86.
  7. Thanks for the info. Further into the answer file, why does it still ask me to enter in a computer name when adding it to the domain? Does it matter what I put in this field or will the WMI query override this information?
  8. When creating a custom answer file I specify that the new computer name should be created by reading the WMI property. This is the query is uses: SELECT SMBIOSAssetTag FROM Win32_SystemEnclosure However, one the image completes, it has been adding a 'D' to the service tag. I.e. Service Tag is ABC1234 it will turn it into DABC1234 What can be done to resolve this?
  9. I have a batch file I've created that will disable the windows firewall on the local machine when launched. I would like to include this as part of the image or more specifically, I would like it to be added and ran after the image is run and after the computer has been added to the domain. I've configured SmartDeploy to add the computer to the domain, btw. What is the best route to go to complete this task?
