Mdt right now windows#
Select the new wizard pane and enter Windows Updates in the Title field of the Settings tab. Enter WinUpdate as the pane ID and DeployWiz_WinUpdates as the file name. In the Panes section select the Select Task Sequence pane and click Add. You can now see the structure of the deployment wizard. Open MDT Wizard Studio, go to File – Open , browse to the script folder of your deployment share and click OK. I’ll assume you’ve done that for the rest of the tutorial. It will make the experience much more pleasant.

You can do this manually by editing certain xml files in the script folder of your deployment share but I highly recommend that you download and install MDT Wizard Studio. To set the variable to yes we’ll create a custom wizard pane.
Mdt right now update#
Now we have accomplished that the Windows Update steps will only run if our brand new variable is set to Yes. Step three – create a custom wizard pane (MDT Wizard Studio) The Continue on error is also checked but that is optional.

These are the steps you’ll have to go through: Now that we have a variable to work with we’ll have to edit the task sequence(s). This is not required but is simply good practice if you want to make sure the default setting is off. I’ve also set the value for my new variable to No in the Default section. This is not available by default in MDT so if you want to add this functionality to your deployments then read my previous post. Īs you can see I also have a property called TargetGroup. For this we open the customSettings.ini file (or open Deployment Workbench, right-click your Deployment Share, choose properties and go to the rules tab) and add a property. So first we’ll need to create a task sequence variable in order to let MDT know if we want to install updates or not.

We want to turn them on but not by default. In a standard server task sequence there are two update steps already in place: a pre-application update task and a post-application update task. Here’s how it’s done: Step one – create a variable And since I take my deployment VM on the road with me, I wanted the ability to choose if the updates are downloaded from Microsoft Update or a clients’ WSUS server. I wanted to be able to choose between a quick OS deployment for test purposes (no updates) and a slower, more production worthy deployment (with updates). One of the functions I wanted to create a wizard page for was the deployment of updates. Microsoft encourages creativity for this particular product. We can add new functionality to the deployment procedure and add wizard pages so we can choose to use those new functions (or not) with each new deployment. All the scripts are customizable, including the Deployment Wizard. One of the great things about the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) is that it’s a very open product.
