I am trying to setup MDT for my organization however I am not getting very far.
Deploymentworkbench is unable to set a Share Name. It gives me an error "Invalid Class"
Microsoft states it should automatically populate with DeploymentShare$ and the full UNC path below.
If I try to manually type it in, MMC immediately crashes. I tried to look up this error online but no one else seems to have this issue.
I have ADK and MDT installed on a Windows Server 2012 R2 VM.
I am following the guide below:
Thank you for any help!
Hi, @Steven Kraft
Do you have the latest .NET Framework feature installed on your Windows Server 2012 R2 VM?
You may check below article for more details, I see it also applies to Windows Server 2012 R2.

Hi @AllenLiu-MSFT I have confirmed I have .NET 4.8 installed however I am still getting the error
Hi, @Steven Kraft
Please try to add %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32\WBEM to your Environment Variables to see if it helps.

Hi @AllenLiu-MSFT we were able to resolve - it was a permission issue with the service account I was using. Once I gave it the same permissions as my global account, I was able to get the share to be recognized.
Thank you for all of your help! I will close this case
Hi, @Steven Kraft

Hi, @Steven Kraft
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.
In my lab, I can set a Share Name without any issue.
If you keep the default Share Name, will it also give you an error?
May we know what is the version of your ADK and MDT?

HI @AllenLiu-MSFT ,
So here are the steps I am taking if I stick with the defaults.
1) I leave the default as C:\DeploymentShare and click next
2)Now I get the same error "Invalid class"
3) Interestingly, if I click OK on the error to close the dialogue box, then click NEXT. I get this new dialogue box and the UNC path displays
4) Unfortunately, if I close out the dialogue box and then try to click in the box under "Share Name" the MMC crashes
5) Here is the Unhandled Exception error
I am running Deployment Workbench version 6.3.8456.1000
I downloaded the latest ADK from Microsoft's website - version 2004
I am using MDT version 8456
