Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Setup and Deployment / May 2008Microsoft Deployment Toolkit = Vista BSOD
I give up. I read countless documents and did several Virtual Labs yet I still can not deploy Vista using MDT. I can do this blind folded with XP. Fresh installs or custom installs work with XP but as soon as I dod Vista all I get is BSOD. I have to deploy over 1000 pc's with the next few months. In preparation for this deployment I've been testing with MDT. I have just 3 IBM/Lenovo models to test from. T43, T60 and T61. All 3 work with Vista if I use the DVD to install from. I also got the autounattend.xml to work w the DVD. However, once I add the source files to MDT and try to do a fresh install, bam BSOD on the first time it needs to reboot. I see that MDT deploys the image and I see that all the files appear to be installing. When MDT finishes the and it needs to reboot, well say hello to BSOD. I get the same results when I capture a newly created Vista image. Do you know what the blue screen crash is? Is it a STOP 0x7B or something similar? MDT just uses Windows Vista SETUP.EXE to do the installation, started from a custom Windows PE image. Did you add any additional drivers into the MDT distribution share? -Michael Niehaus mniehaus@microsoft.com This was the error: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGE_AREA Technical Information: *** STOP : 0x00000050 (0xFFFF4C85, 0x0000000, 0x818834f3, 0x00000000) but it turns out that on a fresh install of Vista Enterprise I have to disable the step for “Inject Drivers” under the “Non-OSD only” group in the Task Sequence. Once I stop the drivers from installing I 'm good. The issue appears to be the mixing of XP and Vista drivers. I've been using BDD/MDT exclusively for XP and now that I want to add Vista I don't know how to separate the drivers or direct Vista to specific set of drivers.

Am I missing something? Anyway, I thought of deleting the drivers and just re-import the XP ones. Then create group that holds Vista drivers. The challenge would be to direct the OS to the appropriate group. Is this possible? Mr. Arwidmark response was -> "using driver grouping and then assign the correct driver group the correct Task Sequencer.. How can I accomplish that? > Yes, that's definitely a driver issue.

To specify the driver group, you can either edit CustomSettings.ini (the Rules tab for the deployment point) to specify something like this in the [Default] section: DriverGroup001=My Driver Group However, that would apply to all task sequences (Vista and XP) so if you need to do both just add a "Set Variable" step to the task sequence that sets variable "DriverGroup001" to "My Driver Group" (substituting the name you really want to use). -Michael > I would love to comply however, when I started this project I normally wipe > out the previous OS then format the HD and since Vista never truly runs [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > > > -Michael Niehaus > > > > mniehaus@microsoft.com Yahoo!!! You did it. Your explaination was perfect. I was able to understand it and implement it. That's a 1st for me. Thank you. U Da Man! I will now try this on several other PC's to see if this wasn't a one hit wonder. Thanks again. > You can enable the dump, but it gets a little tricky - you'd have to get to > the boot menu and enable it.
