Windows 7 application installation automation RRS feed

  • Question

  • I have installed MDT2010 latest version, added windows 7 RC1 and added 2 applications.
    I also did this before wih MDT2008... there, somewhere I told it not to ask but just install all the applications.
    I want it to be as much LTI as possible....

    but with MDT2010 I cannot find a place where to do this. so I get prompted to ask which applications I want to install when I am in the imaging process...

    am I just not looking in the right places, or am I correct that I cannot find this anywhere in the deployment workbench ??

  • You can still automate a LTI installation with MDT2010 by editing customsettings.ini in the Control folder like described in this article of a fully automated LTI deployment. The only real change I found is that SkipBDDWelcome=Yes must be defined in bootstrap.ini.

    In MDT 2008 these settings were also documented in the documents of the ToolKit, but I did not find them yet.

  • To skip the screen prompting for applications add SkipApplications=Yes to your customsettings.ini. Below is an example of items that can be skipped for MDT2010 Beta. If you skip this screen make sure that your Task sequence has a step to install the applications

    [Settings]

    Priority=Default

     

    [Default]

    SkipWizard=NO

    SkipCapture=NO

    SkipAdminPassword=NO

    SkipApplications=YES

    SkipAppsOnUpgrade=NO

    SkipComputerBackup=NO

    SkipDomainMembership=NO

    SkipDeploymentType=NO

    SkipUserData=NO

    SkipPackageDisplay=NO

    SkipLocaleSelection=NO

    SkipProductKey=YES
