CustomSettings.ini Subsection not working
-
Wednesday, October 05, 2011 8:26 AM
Hi,
I was wondering if there is someone that can help me out ive been stuck on this problem for days and havent found a solution for.
ive got mdt 2010 update 1 and im deploying windows 7 x86 enterprise
what i would like to do is via LTI if the tech guy selects Laptop deployment to install Mandatory Applications and enable Bitlocker and give the option off either installing office 2003 or 2007
and if the tech guy selects Desktop deployment to install the Madatory Applications and disable bitlocker and the option to either install office 2003 or 2007.
im not able to bring up the wizard or even the list of mandatory applications.
i amended the TS to point to customsettings.ini in the gather local rule
and i also amended the customsettings.ini as below
[Settings]
Priority=TaskSequenceID, ByLaptopType,ByDesktopType, Default
Properties=MyCustomProperty
[ByDesktopType]

Priority is processed in order. So your Priority section should look like:
Priority=ByLaptopType,ByDesktopType,TaskSequenceID,Default
Also, since you are setting your TaskSequenceID from within the separate subsections (and only within those, as far as I can tell,) you don't need TaskSequenceID listed in priority. In other words, you have no subsection for any particular task sequence, so why list it?
Try deploying with the following for Priority:
Priority=ByLaptopType,ByDesktopType,Default
I'm not sure what your requirements are but you could probably get away with a "Laptop-False" subsection, adding your Desktop requirements there. So, your Priority section would really just be:
Priority=ByLaptopType,Default

just cant work out why im not getting to see the applications in the wizard -
Thursday, October 06, 2011 3:45 PM
So, are the applications missing from the Select Applications pane of the wizard, or does the pane not show up at all, e.g. being skipped?
Also, it's "Applications001" and so on, not "Application001." The MandatoryApplications sections look correct.
-Nick O. -
Thursday, October 06, 2011 3:49 PM
There not showing up at all, ill try it with the "s".
thanks for pointing out the mistake.

It is not Application001
Application is plural - It should be Applications001={GUID}
Other than that - I am guessing that there is something missing or wrong in the Task Sequence.
The best way to start off is. On your test Deployment Share - Create a Custom task Sequence to just install applications. In the CS.ini - just leave it to defaults. Try importing 1 application and add that to the CS.ini as Mandatory... or Applications property.
Even though you are just testing an Application - make sure you have DeploymentType=REFRESH or NEWCOMPUTER in the CS.ini
Regards, Vik Singh -
Thursday, October 06, 2011 4:23 PM
Thanks for your advice,
i tried what you asked, created a new Custom TS and defaulted back to original cs.ini and added
Applications001={22a40661-b4aa-4c46-8547-16acc309967b}
still nothing...
not sure what the issue might be......
-
Thursday, October 06, 2011 5:56 PM
ok. Do you see the wizard at all? If yes, what all do you see?
Also, Can you paste the BDD.log and ZTIApplications log from the machine you tried to run the script on (only application install). Logs under c:\minint\smsosd\osdlogs folder.
If the wizard completed fine - then look under c:\windows\temp\deploymentlogs folder
Regards, Vik Singh -
Thursday, October 06, 2011 6:08 PMCreate a Task Sequence (Custom Task Sequence) that contains only an "Install Application" step. On a working device, establish a connection to the deployment share, and run cscript %scriptroot%\LiteTouch.wsf. When the Wizard begins, select the "Application Only" task sequence you created. Pick an application and make sure it installs correctly.
-Nick O. -
Friday, October 07, 2011 12:08 AM
Did you open the task sequence - Initialization - Properties and change the value
- from Gather only local data
- to Gather local data and process rules and set customsettings.ini ?
Thanks,
YPae -

It installed the two programs fine, flash player and forefront,
but did not give me a wizard to select the two i placed in the cs.ini.

Usually when I struggle with an issue and try to fix it and make so many changes - eventually and sometimes I make it worst and break it further. At this point of time, I would start fresh.Create a new Deployment Share - Load just a Single Application. New Custom TS for App Install.
Use Applications001={Guid} in your CS.iniPost the results.

Friday, October 07, 2011 3:24 PM
No i dont see the application wizard, it skips it...
Did you accidentally disable the "Install Applications" step on your task sequence?I'm just trying to think of other scenarios where the Application pane wouldn't show up at all, since I don't see a "SkipApplications" section in your CS.ini.
Also, pulled this from the MDT documentation:
In LTI New Computer deployments, applications marked as hidden in the Deployment Workbench are not installed when you do not skip the Application page in the Windows Deployment Wizard and specify the application globally unique identifier (GUID) in CustomSettings.ini. Specify hidden applications using the MandatoryApplications property instead of the Applications property.
Not sure if it helps or not.

Guys i think ive managed to get it working,
i googled wizard not appearing and i come to this
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2547191
that made me think that it might be somthing to do with the script so i went here
https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=5407b03614346a99&sc=documents&id=5407B03614346A99%21443
downloaded the DeployWiz_Initialization and copied it into my script folder backing up the original file.
and it seems to have worked. but the problem now is that it Lists all the applications
even though my cs.ini file only has two Applications001/Applications002 listed.

That is by default, the Applications001 and Applications002 will have a check box enabled already as you have mentioned that in the cs.ini.
The rest of the applications will show up but not marked. If you use MandatoryApplications property - the application will show up as checked but will not allow you to uncheck it.
If you do not want all applications to show up, then hide the applications in the properties pane of the Application.
