ZTICoalesce.wsf

Configuration Manager requires packages to be numbered sequentially starting with PACKAGES001, with no gaps in the number sequence. Otherwise, installation will fail.

This script allows you to define and name variables using identifying information about the program to run—for example, ComputerPackages100, ComputerPackages110, or CollectionPackages150. Then, when this script is run, Configuration Manager finds all variables that match a pattern (for example, all variable names that contain the string Packages) and builds a sequential list, without gaps, using the base name PACKAGES.

For example, if the following variables were defined (using computer variables, collection variables, or in CustomSettings.ini or the MDT DB, for example):

ComputerPackages100=XXX00001:Program
ComputerPackages110=XXX00002:Program
CollectionPackages150=XXX00003:Program
Packages001=XXX00004:Program

After the script runs, the list would be:
PACKAGES001=XXX00004:Program
PACKAGES002=XXX00001:Program
PACKAGES003=XXX00002:Program
PACKAGES004=XXX00003:Program

Configuration Manager would then be able to run all four programs.

ZTIDiskpart.wsf

This script creates the disk partitions on the target computer by calling the Diskpart utility. The parameters used to configure the disk are specified by the Task Sequencer or in CustomSettings.ini. ZTIDiskpart.wsf is primarily run in New Computer scenarios. The process works like this:

The MDT deployment process runs the ZTIDiskpart.wsf script based on the steps and sequence of steps in the Task Sequencer.
ZTIDiskpart.wsf starts the Diskpart utility and sends it the required configuration commands.
ZTIDiskpart.wsf runs Diskpart.exe and provides a .txt file as a command-line parameter.
The disk is initially cleaned by sending Diskpart the CLEAN command.
If this is the first disk and no disk configuration has been specified by the Task Sequencer or in CustomSettings.ini, a single partition is created to store the operating system. However, if a disk configuration has been specified, the disk will be configured according to the specified configuration.
If BitLocker is to be enabled, space is reserved at the end of the first disk.
All format commands are queued until after Diskpart has finished. If not explicitly specified by the Task Sequencer or in CustomSettings.ini, ZTIDiskpart.wsf performs a quick format of drive C using the following command: FORMAT C: /FS:NTFS /V:OSDisk /Q /Y.
ZTIDiskpart.wsf copies the ZTIDiskpart_diskpart.log and BDD.log files from the RAM disk back to the hard drive.

Customize the disk configuration of the target computer by providing the required information in the Task Sequencer or in CustomSettings.ini.

For more information about configuring disks, see the MDT document Using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit.

Value	Description
Input	Environment variables. Contains the property values, custom property values, database connections, deployment rules, and other information that the scripts require to complete the deployment process

ZTIGroups.wsf

This script captures and restores the local group membership on the target computer. This script is called with the**/capture** argument to back up the group membership from the target computer before deploying the operating system. The CaptureGroups property contains the list of groups that script backs up. The script is called with the**/restore** argument to restore the group membership after the operating system is deployed. When performing a restore operation, it restores the membership of all groups that were backed up when the script was run using the /capture argument.

Note

When restoring group membership, the script does not create any destination groups that do not already exist on the target computer. Therefore, be sure to include all required groups in the reference computer when building the image file.

ZTIWindowsUpdate.wsf

This script downloads and installs updates from computers on a corporate network that are running WSUS, Windows Update, or Microsoft Update using the Windows Update Agent (WUA) application programming interface (API). By default, this feature is disabled in each task sequence and must be manually activated to run.

Most enterprises will already have teams and infrastructures in place to update newly deployed computers over the corporate network. This process involves tracking the latest set of patches, drivers, and updates available for each desktop configuration and determining which updates should be downloaded and installed for each configuration. If the organization already has an established process, this script might not be necessary. This script was designed to fill a need for deployment teams that might not have established processes, yet want to ensure that target computers are updated when deployed.

This script automatically scans the target computer and downloads a wide range of updates that are found to be applicable. Among these are:

Windows service packs
Non-Microsoft drivers that were placed on Windows Update
The latest hotfix updates
Microsoft Office updates
Microsoft Exchange Server and SQL Server updates
Microsoft Visual Studio® updates
Some non-Microsoft application updates

Tip

Many hardware manufacturers have placed their drivers on Windows Update. These drivers no longer need to be maintained in the Out-of-Box Drivers directory. Experiment by removing drivers from the distribution share to see which ones are available on Windows Update. Note that if the drivers are not included with Windows by default, do not remove networking or storage drivers, because the operating system will require user input.

MDT supports the ability to deploy an updated version of WUA as part of the operating system deployment. This helps ensure that target computers are running the correct version of WUA when they are deployed. It also helps eliminate the need to connect to the Internet and download the latest version of WUA after deployment.

MDT can also configure WUA to collect updates from computers on the corporate network that are running WSUS instead of connecting to Microsoft Updates over the Internet. MDT can optionally configure WUA to use a specific computer running WSUS using the WSUSServer property.

For additional information and for WUA deployment instructions, see How to Install the Windows Update Agent on Client Computers.

Obtain the latest version of the WUA stand-alone installer for:

x86 versions (WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe) at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=100334
x64 version (WindowsUpdateAgent30-x64.exe) at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=100335

Windows 7 and later include the most recent version of WUA, so no upgrade is necessary.

For more information, see Updating Windows Update Agent.

When enabled in the Task Sequencer, this script runs multiple times while in the State Restore Phase of operating system deployment. It is first run after the operating system has started for the first time. Ensure that the latest updates and service packs are installed before the installation of any applications that might depend on specific updates or service packs being installed on the target computer. For example, an application might be dependent on the latest version of the Microsoft .NET Framework being installed.

This script also runs after the installation of applications, which ensures that the latest application service packs and updates have been applied. For example, use this script to ensure that the latest updates are applied to Microsoft Office 2010 or the 2007 Office system.

It is possible, during the installation of one or more updates, the target computer will need to be restarted to allow an update installation to finish fully. To ensure that updates are properly installed, if the script detects that the installation of an update requires the target computer to be restarted, the script automatically restarts the target computer and resumes if additional updates have been detected and are pending installation. The script exits if it determines that the target computer is fully up to date. An error will be logged if, while updating the target computer, the script has seven unsuccessful attempts to install the updates and the target computer still requires a restart.

During run time, the script performs the following tasks:
Configure the target computer to use a WSUS server, if the WSUSServer property was specified.
Verify that the latest version of the WUA is installed on the target computer.
Search the target computer for applicable updates that are not already installed and that might be typically hidden.
Each update has an associated UpdateID and QNumber property:
- The UpdateID property is in GUID form, such as 67da2176-5c57-4614-a514-33abbdd51f67.
- The QNumber property is a numerical value, such as 987654.
The script compares the UpdateID and KBArticle property values against the list of exclusions specified in the following MDT properties:
- WUMU_ExcludeID. A list of UpdateIDs to exclude; any update with an UpdateID found in this list will not be installed.
- WUMU_ExcludeKB. A list of QNumbers to exclude; any update with a QNumber found in this list will not be installed.
- In addition, any update that requires user input will be excluded and not installed.
All updates that require approval of an End User License Agreement (EULA) will automatically be approved by the script. Be sure to manually read and check each EULA before running this script in a production environment.
The activity for each update is written to the ZTIWindowsUpdate.log file, with the string INSTALL or SKIP if the update has been approved for installation, along with the UpdateID, a short description of the update, and the QNumber.
Each update to be installed is downloaded and installed in batches.
The target computer might require more than one restart during the update installation.

Note

Windows Internet Explorer 7 requires user interaction, so it is not installed using this script.

Note

By default, include QNumber 925471 in the WUMU_ExcludeKB list to prevent Windows Vista Ultimate from installing extra language packs.
