MDT w/Win11 22H2 ADK, WinPE

I have installed the Windows 11 22H2 ADK and WinPE add-on to our MDT environment. (8456) I have applied the May 2023 security update to the winpe.wim.

I am running into the error described under "HTA applications report Script error after upgrading to ADK for Windows 11, version 22H2" at:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/mdt/known-issues

I have modified the unattend.xml we use (we put a custom one into the wim by placing it at \DeploymentShare\ExtraFiles\x64) to put the value specified into the registry. Still, .wsf files throw up a scripting error:

"The value for the attribute is not valid: language"

When the error appears, I go into the Registry Editor and can see that the value has been set.

Has anyone else seen this? Know of a workaround?

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, MDT doesn't support Windows 10 ARM64 devices, Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 operating systems.

    And you can opt to other deployment tools, such as Configuration Manager.

    Regards,

    These are AMD64 devices, not ARM64. But moving away from MDT is on the radar.

    Thanks,

    It looks like the September WinPE update has removed support for VBScript hosting.

    Yes, you are correct. Windows removed support for VBScript, MDT isn't supported with Windows 11 or the ADK for Windows 11.
