    hi All experts,

    The title seems to have explained it all. Anyone has had the same issue and the solution to it?

    Cheers

    after reboot it does not boot from CD because no key pressed on the prompt of "Press any key to boot from CD", that it will subsequently continue booting into Windows continuing the TS.

    From googling around, looks like it's a new feature of MDT 2012 update 1 which is not convenient at all - anyone has a way around this? Thanks.

    Make sure your in your boot sequence in your BIOS is set to HARD DISK as first priority.. When we do USB deployments using MDT if USB is set to boot first it will be stuck in an infinite loop and you will get that dirty environment message!

    Hi,

    This happens if you have closed the runing deployment process or your deployment aborted previously.

    Due to this some files are not backed up properly by scripts and they resides in memory and cause error when u again run the deployment.

     
    Please do and test the following procedure.

    Press F8 , when you get the error.
    Type diskpart command in opened command prompt . X:\Windows\system32>diskpart
    check available partition by X:\Windows\system32>list partition .
    Select each partition by command "select <partition>" eg select partition 1
    And delete each partition by command "delete partition" eg delete partition
    Once done for all partition again run the "list partition" command.(To check if you missed any partition to delete.)

    Thanks. Does it mean that it will wipe off all the current/existing progress and start over? Also, why would Windows Update reboot cause this? I'm more interested in knowing how to stop the Reboot to cause the dirty environment? or am I missing something from what you said?

    I think we need a little more information on when in the process it is rebooting and not continuing the TS. For instance I have a similar issue, but mine deals with the summary screen. Issue is you kick off the TS at 5PM and let it run over night. When you come in the next day SCCM has pushed out updates and rebooted. This leaves the PC with all the TS files which need to be cleaned up.
