MDT with a different protocol

Question

Hi,

I noticed that MDT supports protocol 1.0 only. However, protocol 1.0 is deprecated and not recommended. Is there any way to use MDT with protocol tls 1.1 or 1.2 or SSL? When I start the deployment using a different protocol, I get an error like the following: "ZTI error opening SQL Connection: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (SECDoClientHandshake()).]SSL Security error".

Hi,

==>but how to install the driver in WinPE?
Yes, we can import the drivers for WinPE. The main steps are as below:

1, Import needed drivers to Out-Of-Box drivers.
2, Create selection profiles.
3, Then configure the deployment share properties to use the correct selection profile.

Here are the detailed steps for your reference:
MDT Lite Touch Driver Management

Hi,

Error comes from MDT script (ZTIDataAccess.vbs). The script uses SQLOLEDB provider that supports protocol tls 1.0 only. SQL is not a problem, because I;m using 2016 and 2019 version and the situation is the same.

I found that I should switch provider from SQLOLEDB to MSOLEDBSQL and install a driver on the clients, but how to install the driver in WinPE?

Hi,

Based on my experience, MDT may not support protocol 1.0 only. Back in 2016, Microsoft announced that TLS 1.2 would now be supported in specific builds of SQL Server 2008, 2008 R2, 2012, and 2014. Where we notice it? SCCM has no effect on TLS.

This issue is not MDT specific. According to the error, it is related to SQL, where is the error? could we provide the detailed information?
