Yesterday I started a new Windows 10 1803 project with a customer. They want to start deploying Windows 10 1803 to new machines and also start upgrade existing Windows 10 clients to 1803. To upgrade existing clients, I’ve created a Task Sequence template that I’ve been using at many different customers in previous projects (including 1803). But yesterday I got the following error displayed in a Command Prompt during the deployment: winpeshl.ini file is present, but no commands were successfully launched. This could be caused by incorrect formatting or an invalid executable name. Please consult the documentation for more information.…

Today I got a call from a customer that was playing around with OSD in System Center Configuration Manager and the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). He wanted to know where he could find a list of all the Time Zones Names, so he could change the default “Pacific Standard Time” to something else. But where can you find a list of all the “TimeZoneName”?Instead of using some old reference list on TechNet or MSDN, you can simply use the good old Time Zone Utility (Tzutil), that can be used to view and manage available time zones.You can run Tzutil from…

Overview Technical Preview 1701 for System Center Configuration Manager has just been released, and a new hardware inventory class (SMS_Firmware) and property (UEFI) are now available to help customers determine whether a computer is configured to UEFI mode.

Last month Microsoft released a new update for the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack and for the Microsoft BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM): https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3198158 This week I’m working with a customer on a new MBAM project, and after installing this update I noticed that the version wasn’t updated in the control panel, so I thought that something might have failed. 2.5.1100.0 = 2.5 SP1 2.5.1126.0 = 2.5 SP1 HF03 (December 2016) So I checked the logfile, but everything looked ok. And the registry information looks great too… The MBAM Server was updated as expected and everything worked just fine. Not 100%…
