Windows 10 Summit / Modern Workplace Summit 2015 - Slide deck available

Modern Workplace Summit have come to an end, it was a great conference, thanks to Ståle and Johan for making it happen, well done.

 

Deploying Windows 10

In middle of August Windows 10 have supposedly reached more than 50 million computers (info here), and with users trying it out at home and loving it, the pressure to get it at work computers also are build up.

Microsoft have done different measure to make sure that enterprises will have more control over their Windows 10 deployment.

The Windows 10 upgrade should be automatically blocked on computers or devices in the following scenarios:

Ignite - Slides from my session

My sessions at Ignite 2015

Just days away from Ignite in Chicago, and I am already on the way from Norway.
I will do 2 different sessions this year with a repeat on both.

This is Windows Theater sessions so that means it will be 15-20 intense minutes, no time for bull.

NIC: Slides from mine and Alexander's session are now ready for download

Last day here at NIC, me and Alexander will do a repeat of out cool session " Optimizing Surface deployment and connected standby (with Olav Tvedt)" from yesterday at 15:00 in room 5

And you can now download the slides from that session here

Deploying Windows 10 Preview with MDT 2013

For now MDT doesn't support deploying Windows 10. That is related too the new version number Windows got with build 9926.

 

Changing Windows product key (license) for a MDT OS deployment task

Creating a new OS deployment task in MDT you will be asked to specify product key

That’s easy enough, but what if you type in the wrong key or just want to change it (add it) later? You might even have gotten a new MAK.

That is not as easy, you cannot do it from the graphical interface, you have to do it from one of the configuration files. Well you might to it from graphical interface by typing it in every time deploying a computer gets deployed but that is not a great solution.

Upgrading Windows 8 Enterprise to 8.1

Upgrading to Windows 8.1 for Enterprise version users are not as simple as other versions. You cannot upgrade from the Windows Store and it will not be available as a old time "Windows Update" option.

It is intendent that this is a task for the IT Department, that will do this using tools like "System Center Configuration Manager" or "MDT". If you have access to the Windows 8.1 Enterprise ISO file you can do this directly from the CD of course. But beware that you need an Windows 8.1 Enterprise key or update on your KMS

KMS Client Setup Keys to use during deployment

If you are using KMS server or stuff like creating templates without using you licens key you can use KMS setup keys. This keys cannot be activated but works for deployment scenarios where you have to type in a key under installation. For instance Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 ask for a key if deploy With MDT, then you can use the keys.

Video from Nic 2013 are now available

Both my session from Nic 2013 www.nicconf.com are available now.

You can find them by entering the NIC web page or by using my shortcuts.

Creating a lab environment

Personal Labs

Microsoft have created lots of test lab for us geeks to try out different Microsoft stuff easy.

The range of product and technologies are wide, we will find basic things like “Step-by-Step Guide for Setting Up IPv6 in a Test Lab” to learn more about IPv6, and more sophisticated guides that also might be more product focused like the “Test Lab Extension: System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection”.

MDT Template creation settings

Working with a longer blog about MDT template creation, but for to nights MTUG - MDT session here are the necessary settings for the Template creation share:

Customsettings.ini

Nordic Infrastructure Conference sessions

The second edition of NIC will be held january 24-25, and a killer a program this year too.

I will host two session this year too, and enjoy lots of top class speakers rest of the time

MDT - The task sequence has been suspended. LiteTouch is trying to install applications

Every now and then I get this error message when fuelling a computer with MDT:

"The task sequence has been suspended. LiteTouch is trying to install applications. This cannot be performed in Windows PE."

TechEd Amsterdam: Session recommandations from my session

Here are the slides showing recommantations for Springboard related sessions from my session

TechED Amsterdam: Using the POC Jumstart Kit

During my session at TechEd Europe I talked about and showed the "POC Jumpstart Kit". This is a smart solution to test out Windows and Office readiness, deployment or just play around With MDT, SCCM, ACT and MAP.

It's a large download, but you get a great demo environment ready in no time. A bit like the Hydration Kit, but you don't have to do the installation process. Everything is on one server, and the server is ready to be used on Hyper-V or Virtual PC. There is no Integration Components installed so it's works well on both platforms. Convertion to other platforms should work as well.

Among the greates benefits are that you get a "instructions manual" with it. There is 13 lab guides Learning you how to use all the powers installed in the "Jumpstart Kit"

There is some "minor" issues to get it to work, but luckily there is workarounds :-)

My TechED Europe session on Springboard

I am holding a session at TechED Europe on the Springboard site and how you can find information and tools there.

Session is in Hall 10A on Tue, Jun 26 1:30 PM - 2:15 PM

There will be lots of demo's and great information about session to attend at TechED Europe this year. Thats the great thing with having a sessions on the first day, you can recommend other sessions.
