Can someone please tell me if MDT will allow you to have both Applications for Make and Model (Set in a Database) and have the Application Wizard come up to select Optional Applications? Here's my issue 1. If the Optional Application Wizard is turned on (SkipApplications=NO) and SQL has the Make and Model information, with an application assigned (Hiden or Not) to that Make and Model. MDT will install only the Optional Applications. 2. If the Optional Application Wizard is turned off (SkipApplications=YES) and SQL has the Make and Model information, with an application assigned (Hiden or Not) to that Make and Model. MDT will install the SQL assigned Applications per the Make and Model. This is a big problem as we are deploying two versions of Office at the moment, and would like to have the Optional Applications available along with the added benifit of having a SQL database for MDT.

The workaround I did to make this work is detailed here: http://www.deploymentforum.com/Community/Forums/tabid/124/forumid/17/postid/1333/view/topic/Default.aspx So far it seems to be working for me.

Unfortunately that didn't work for me, but did lead me to another similar solution. Here's what worked for me: In the customsettings.ini I changed the following: [MMApps] SQLServer=ServerName Instance=SQLExpress Database=DatabaseName Netlib=DBNMPNTW SQLShare=\\ServerName\distribution$ Table=MakeModelApplications Parameters=Make, Model Order=Sequence MandatoryApplications=Applications What this did was make a MandatoryApplication001, MandatoryApplication002, etc. in the Variables.dat. It also had my optional applications as Application001 and so on. The Mandatory applications installed right before the optional applications.
