this is the error I'm getting: ADODB.Connection: Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed 'ADO' is checked under 'optional components' on the 'windows pe' tab of the deployment point properties. Its a custom script that works fine if run within windows server 2008 but when trying to run from the winPE image created by MDT 2008 Update 1 I get that error? what else do I need to do to be able to use ADO in my vbscripts from this WinPE image? I'm not using a database for the computers, roles, locations, etc... deployment scenarios... so the database node in the Deployment WorkBench is not configured... I have my own database server (on same server as MDT) that I am using for various things during deployment... does configuring this node do something that enables ADO in PE? again, I'm not using the MDT scripts for accessing my database, the scripts are totally seperate... and agian, they work when not in PE? This is killing me. Hopefully someone here knows whats up. thanks.

FYI for anyone trying this: use the sqloledb provider (specified in your connection string). The error I was receiving was because I was trying to use the sql native client for sql server 2008 (forget the actual name, sqlncli10, maybe) and that is obviously not iincluded in the winPE image generated by MDT. After changing to sqloledb I got past that error.
