MDT Stalling after BootStrap

Question

During the beginning of the image process, MDT just stalls and never moves forward in the process.

I have rebuilt the deployment share, replaced it in WDS. Not sure if this is a task sequence issue or bootstrap or .ini issue. Below is my bootstrap and .ini

Hey!

Could you please provide more detailed information?

Meanwhile you can try below troubleshooting steps :-

• Verify that the bootstrap.ini file is correct and that the settings match your environment.
• Ensure that the Deployment Share and Deployment Share folder have the correct permissions.
• Make sure that the Deployment Share and Deployment Share folder are reachable from the client machine
• Ensure that the Deployment Share and Deployment Share folder are not in use by another process or another instance of MDT.
• check the network connectivity and DNS resolution
• check the deployment share's logs and client machine's smsts.log for more information
• Check if the serial number variable is being passed correctly
