mdt2013 deploy image / applications not installed

Question

I have some applciations that must be installed after that an image has deployed but this goes wrong. I cannot find out why this is goiing wrong because i cannot find anything in the c:\windows\temp\bdd.log or litetouch.log. Nothing is mentioned regarding to the applications that i wan;t to install.

What i have done:
made applications in MDT2013 on the server and then continue on error with every application. Then beneath sate restore choosing: install an application en pointing to that application.

The only thing i can find in the bdd.log at the end is:
litetouch deployment failed, return code = -2147024891 0x80070005

The image is deployed however without the applications.

Hi, @corne nietnodig

By default, the system gets joined to domain immediately and on first boot, it’s joined and ready to rock so it’ll grab group policies almost immediately. You may try to move the domain join to the very end of your task sequence like this.

For the reference:

And you can try to join domain by using a PowerShell Script and Task sequence or using Offline Join Domain capabilities:

Hi, @corne nietnodig
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Is there any useful message in smsts.log?
Have you checked the CustomSettings.ini? Do you have Applications= or SkipApplications= configured?

Hi,

It keeps failing with -2147024891 0x80070005
failed to create shared enviroment
failed to create shared enviroment object code 0x800700005
failed to run task sequence.

The bdd and smsts.log shows no other things, no sign of failing applications install. It looks like these are not running sinds past monday. Before they where running accept Microsoft Office install which i added also monday.

My rules.ini:

[Settings]
Priority=Default
Properties=MyCustomProperty

[Default]
OSInstall=YES
DomainOUs1=OU=fictief OU, OU2,domain....
DomainOUs2=OU= OU=fictief OU, OU2,domain....
SkipAdminPassword=YES
AdminPassword=fictief
SkipAppsOnUpgrade=YES
SkipBDDWelcome=YES
SkipBitLocker=YES
SkipCapture=YES
SkipComputerName=NO
SkipComputerBackup=YES
SkipDeploymentType=YES
DeploymentType=NEWCOMPUTER
SkipDomainMembership=YES
JoinDomain=fictief
DomainAdmin=fictief
DomainAdminDomain=fictief.domain
DomainAdminPassword=fictief
SkipTimeZone=YES
TimeZoneName=W. Europe Standard Time
TimeZone=110
AreaCode=0413
SkipLocaleSelection=YES
SkipPackageDisplay=YES
SkipProductKey=YES
SkipSummary=YES
SkipTaskSequence=NO
SkipUserData=Yes
ApplyGPOPack=NO

SkipApplications=YES

It looks like when i delete the domain options in the rules.ini the applications installs succeedes. I will test this tomorrow again. Past monday i have added the domain options and then the client is added to the domain but the applications are nog beiing installed.... so strange.

To be sure that is the case i am goiing to delete:
JoinDomain=fictief
DomainAdmin=fictief
DomainAdminDomain=fictief.domain
DomainAdminPassword=fictief

and then try again.

Another thing which i was asking myself:
is this responsible for the locad admin password?:
SkipAdminPassword=YES
AdminPassword=fictief

Hi, @corne nietnodig
I see you have specified the SkipApplications=YES, did you try to change it to SkipApplications=No?

Answer 5

not yet but will try it later. I think that setting is only for the screen that appears for choosing which apps to install which are in the Task Sequence. When this is set to YES it will install the application without choosing, however i will try it.
