Hello,

I am getting the same error message when trying to do a warm capture. Do I need to re-do my ISO image?

Looks like there was a huge delay (like 4hrs) for it to install on it's own. Is that normal? The logs did say there were errors with internet connection but the machine showed internet connection the entire time. Is this normal?

Hello,

I'm trying to re-image some machines by USB and cannot get O365 to install, even though the application pack is included in the Answer file. I created the pack through the wizard/console if that info is helpful.

An IP address is displayed when deployment is running so it has an internet connection. This worked in the previous version of SmartDeploy (V2) but cannot get this to work now that I'm on V3.

Any insight on this is greatly appreciated.

Definitely take Jeff's advice over mine, but you could probably try RDP USB passthrough.  

Plug USB into PC with USB ports, RDP into the server, but make sure you go to 'show options', local resources, more, then drives (this is within the initial RDP window) then your USB will show up on the remote server. 

 

EDIT: Don't try this it doesn't work 😃

Thank you Jeff and DJ. I am remote/VPN and realize this limits some options for me. Which is no problem. Since I'm curious, I'll test the RDP USB passthrough.

Appreciate everyone's time and suggestions.

Ok, that is what I'll be doing, creating Offline media due to working remotely. Is it best then to download the console to my machine and import the image/answer file/packs from the VM or will the VirtualHere option mentioned above work?

I have no issue downloading the console on another machine but if there is an option to avoid that and keep everything on the Hyper-V and the VM, I'd love to do so.

Thank you for your input and help.

Fantastic, thank you. Appreciate the quick response/alternative!

KB9GXK - are you still using the VirtualHere tool? This looks like it could solve a problem for me.
