I have only recently upgraded to MDT from BDD2007 and seem to be having a couple of minor problems with automating the Deployment screens. I get prompted with the following: Welcome to Deployment screen - can select Keyboard layout (I keep the default and click next) - I don't want to have to do this User Credentials Screen - I need to manually enter usename, password and domain to connect to deployment share - I don't want to have to do this Select a Task - This is good I want to be able to select which image to deploy Configure the computer name - This is good I want to manually enter the name Ready to begin - This is good for now as I want to be able to see these details The process then begins - however when it gets to the point where it should join the domain automatically I get prompted to click next to join the domain and then have to enter credentials to do so. After that the build completes perfectly. So like I said - minor problems but I can't seem to get around them. Here is my Customs.ini file that I used under BDD: [Settings] Priority=UUID, Default Properties=MyCustomProperty [Default] OSInstall=Y UserDataLocation=NONE UserID=BDDUser UserPassword=BDDUserPassword UserDomain=MyDomain SkipAdminPassword=YES SkipApplications=YES SkipAppsOnUpgrade=YES SkipBDDWelcome=YES SkipBuild=NO SkipCapture=NO SkipDomainMembership=YES JoinDomain=MyDomain SkipFinalSummary=NO SkipPackageDisplay=NO SkipSummary=NO SkipProductKey=YES SkipTimeZone=YES SkipUserData=YES SLShare=\\MyServer\distribution$\logs Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh Also - I have changed the Background image file under the WinPE tab of my deployment point but still get the standard Microsoft image... Any ideas on this one?

HI, Answers to a few of your questions below: Welcome to Deployment screen - SkipLocaleSelection=true User Credentials Screen – add this to bootstrap.ini and populate with your details then remember to update your distribution point [Default] DeployRoot= UserDomain= UserID= UserPassword= Domain Join – add these details to customsettings DomainAdmin= DomainAdminDomain= DomainAdminPassword= Or you can do this directly into sysprep [Identification] DomainAdmin = DomainAdminPassword = JoinDomain = Wallpaper – having updated the wallpaper you want to use have you updated the deployment point again? Are you using WDS to boot or are you using a CD. If you are just using WDS then you wont need the ISO, just the WIM so you could always mount the WIM and pop the new bitmap directly into it there which would save you the time from having to update it through the console. Best practice would be to right click > update though.

Thanks for the answers Pyrosoft - i made the cahnges and it still did not seem to work though. I am using WDS to boot so I tried something just to see what happened and created the .iso and booted to CD and lo and behold it skipped the welcome screen, the credentials screen and the join domain screen and there was my company branded wallpaper in all it's glory! I updated the deployment point again and tried with WDS again and still no joy... I'm about to remove and re-add the boot image to WDS and see if that helps... I can't really see why it would though... Also I mounted the .wim image and can see my company wallpaper in there... Strange stuff. Any ideas?

Deleting the boot image from WDS and re-adding has resolved the issue. Very strange... Thanks for your help
