Unanswered MDT 2012: Hiding task sequences for specific users

    So I am trying to hide certain task sequences for certain users when deploying a new image. As of now my CustomSettings.ini looks as follows:

    [Settings]
    Priority=UserID, Default
    Properties=MyCustomProperty

    [Administrator]
    WizardSelectionProfile=Administrator

    [General]
    WizardSelectionProfile=GeneralDeployment

    [Default]
    OSInstall=YES

    It works fine when I log in as administrator, however when i log in as "general user" I get the error: "Gathering complete, but no INI file found"

    Any help as to what may be causing the problem?

    General is not a UserID.

    You have 2 scenarios -
    Show All task sequences to the Admin
    Show General TS to All Users.

    However no one is logging in as General. You have to use groups like Everyone Group. Create the folder structure and selection profile based on your needs. Then, you can use UserExit script to query the group membership.

    Johan has it explained very nicely in this thread - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/mdt/thread/7e2eaf58-0d5a-451d-b2b6-712f5cc01061/

    Well I literally created a user called General, and the user has access to the deployment share. Not administrative access however. I'm not really interested in using groups, I really just want to discriminate between 2 or 3 users as I dont have many users with the ability to access the deployment share.
