using 2.0.3000,

We recently received 10 Dell Latitude 7490, we are having trouble deploying the image on them, it cannot seem to see the SSD. Anyone have trouble with this or resolve this before?

When I took the image, I selected for use with WDS and only selected the OS partition, that seems to have worked.

You know what it started doing the error again. I had to make a change in the image and tried to take the image all over again using the iso to put in the vm, and gets all the way to the end before i get the error. logs: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AhwoICTP_02ug-4oQrAIKNYyEhgxIQ

I am just leaving them in, as I found in the past major issues when messing with them. I do have some GPO's though that push a custom start menu and desktop from some users.

for 1709 I had to start over from scratch for my images.

Using a ISO seems to have worked.

I got an error when trying to capture and new fresh image of windows 10 enterprise 1709 "the specified image does not contain a <customdata> node and cannot be used for deployment" not sure what the issue is here. Capturing from vm on ESXi 6.5 host using pxe boot and capture. see logs https://1drv.ms/f/s!AhwoICTP_02ug-4TJbBesh7u6f8z_g

Thats a good point, yeah you will have to make your differencing image again if you modify the master wim

I am trying to use it right now for the purpose of have a base image that is updated and deploys everywhere, but a differencing image that has adobe cloud creative suite apps installed., which would take the techs a long time to do after imaging, and the way our license is we only want to use it on a couple of labs at each site.

turned out the platform pack was corrupt and deleted and re-downloaded it and it is working now

Hi, I am happy with smartdeploy so far, great tool. I have a couple of enhancement and features requests as i am sure others do as well. 1. To be able to change an image description after capture 2. to be able to use the drop down menu in the deploy wizard for differencing images of the same image. 3. wim to vmdk conversion tool. 4. operate deploy wizard without mouse 5. Advanced custom tasks per image 6. Centralized Technician Console on a server, and a client to connect to it from workstation. (makes it easier for multiple techs to use) If I think of some more I will add them inline.

When deploy a differencing image shouldnt that be selectedable from the Image name: drop down menu?, what is the purpose of the drop down menu if it only has one thing in it?

I am also having trouble using smart deploy on a latitude 7480, one smart deploy boots in legacy mode from pxe, i cannot select anything and there is no mouse control

I'm pretty sure I didn't use the VMware easy install, but there was a significant update to windows 10 and maybe that caused it. In which case I'm sure others may have the same issue.

It was just created in VMware workstation 12, just by using a iso to install windows just as you would baremetal nothing custom done. Should I try to fix the partitions?

here you go

sent info in pm

Yeah that was like the first thing i tried. Console.log SmartDeploy.log

I am having a bug where one particular image in my library keeps showing a hashed name instead of the simple image name. Imaging still works fine, just some weird bug and was wondering if anyone else had this or new a way to resolve it.

I also had the same error when trying to use WDS with multicasting, but when just using the unc path without multicast i can image.
