    Hello,

    i am using MDT 2012 for installing some "applications".

    When i run the deployment-wizard from Windows the process is stuck on :

    on some threads the problem was that the start of process is not done by "the" local administrator (this is true).

    What is the problem here, and how can i start the proces from another account in windows without this issue?

    Thx

    Edit : when enabling "the"  administrator account and running from the administrator everything works fine.

    How to enable this installation from another local administrator-account?

    What are your settings on your deployment share for your Bootstrap.ini?  Does this work if you boot a machine from the Litetouch Deployment ISO and it's only not working if launched from inside Windows?

    Hi DC,

    this are my bootstrap.ini-settings:

    [Settings]
    Priority=Default

    [Default]
    DeployRoot=\\192.168.2.150\deploymentshare$

    This issue only occurs from starting in Windows when not starting from the local administrator-account.

    What is the problem here why this occurs?

    Thx

    Are you launching MDT from a CD on the machine or from mapping to the Deployment Share and running it directly?  It sounds like a rights issue for the other local admin account on the Deployment Share to me.

    Hi Dc,

    I am mapping to the deploymentshare and running directly. When I run as administrator the wizard will continue. But not with another local-account.

    When starting the wizard I am providing the credentials for the deploymentshare when asked!

    MDT is probably just offended by the theme being used on the desktop!

    As you say, it's OK when run as administrator so you have a few choices:

     - Boot into PE to start the build

     - Disable UAC

     - Create a shortcut and apply the "Run this program as an administrator" configuration to it on the compatibility tab.

    Hi Andrew,

    will UAC have impact on this?

    Thx

    It will indeed, that's why it currently works OK when you do "Run as administrator".

    Today some problem in a full uptodate VM : Windows 8

    1) UAC Disabled

    2) Logged in as Administrator, but still the "processing bootstrap settings" stuck.

    What is going wrong?
