Comments on: The Case of the Disappearing Task Sequences http://deployment.xtremeconsulting.com/2009/11/13/the-case-of-the-disappearing-task-sequences/ Join Xtreme Consulting's Microsoft Deployment Toolkit experts for discussion and solution sharing Tue, 31 Jan 2012 22:19:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: C0debreaker http://deployment.xtremeconsulting.com/2009/11/13/the-case-of-the-disappearing-task-sequences/comment-page-1/#comment-559 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 14:56:30 +0000 http://tmintner.wordpress.com/?p=185#comment-559 Sorry to resurrect a necro-thread but I have just run into the same issue. I have 4 deployment shares using MDT 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2 – Dell Laptop XP, Dell Desktop XP, Dell Laptop Win7, and Dell Desktop Win7. Both XP shares still work – both Win7 shares don’t.

On November 23 I successfully imaged my new laptop with Windows 7 Enterprise using WDS and booting from the laptop NIC. I tried doing this on another new laptop on December 5 (having been out of town for a week) and the task list is empty.

I tried resetting permissions on the drive and all subfolders without success. I created a new deployment share without doing any modifications to the control files. I created a new task. None of those produce a populated task sequence.

If I cancel the deployment and use the \deploy\scripts cscript //nologo litetouch.wsf /debug:true the deployment works fine.

Since I was out of the office for a week and I’m the only on-site IT person, nothing was done during that week (unless there were automatic system updates).

Also the bdd.log file is one line so there is no diagnostic information.

I’m at my wits’ end – please help!

On some machines the tasks are blank but on others its populated. The machines are both 64 bit and 32 bit . I checked the bdd log and it is pointing to the deployment share .

In my case, it turned out to be related to the share name. I named the share ‘MDT_Deploymentshare$’ and it did not work. No errors- but nothing would appear. Renamed the share to ‘Deploymentshare$’ and it worked. Go figure

I had the same problem. When I booted from winpe then I was getting the message that no Tast Sequence was avoialable. I searched for a voil and then i found the problem. the problem was in the Deployments Share permission. The user i was trying to connect to the share didn’t have the permission to connect to the share. When i added the user account to the deployment share, every things went normal again.

We discovered that each section of the CustomSettings.ini file had a reference to the SQLShare on the MDT server. We commented all of those out based on info gathered from other sources. The connection speed reverted to normal.

Hope that helps!
