Answered MDT task creates an image with a dual boot option.

    I am working with Dell E6410 with Vista home on the machine. I deleted all of the partitions except the OEM partition.

    I then let the MDT task sequence at default for the disk partitoning.

    There is Windows 7 64 bit Enterprise imported as the OS.

    The capture option is chosen with no upgrade or restore option.

    But when the machine is rebooted, there are 2 boot options displayed.

    Please see unattend.xml below:

     

     

    Next I will try importing it into the OS as a custom image to see if this solves the issue.


    thank you, Diane

    Diane,

    Did the custom image solve your issue?

    What were the two boot options you were given?

    Thanks,

    David

    I discovered that when you use MDT 2010 and then choose to use the capture option, you get  2 windows 7 boot options.  Once you import the image into the operating systems , that image does not contain the 2 boot options.

    Or if you just image a single machine without the capture, this does not have the 2 boot options.

    It is only when you use the capture option and the standard client task.

     

     


    thank you, Diane
