Here is the software from MS and it’s free

http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

To make a copy of your Windows 7 ISO file:

1. Click the Windows START button, and click WINDOWS 7 USB/DVD DOWNLOAD TOOL in the ALL PROGRAMS list to open the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool.
2. In the SOURCE FILE box, type the name and path of your Windows 7 ISO file, or click BROWSE and select the file from the OPEN dialog box. Click NEXT.
3. Select USB DEVICE to create a copy on a USB flash drive or select DVD disk to create a copy on a DVD disk.
4. If you are copying the file to a USB flash drive, select your USB device in the drop-down list and click BEGIN COPYING. If you are copying the file up to a DVD, click BEGIN BURNING.

When your Windows 7 ISO file is copied onto your chosen media, install Windows 7 by moving to the root folder of your DVD or USB flash drive, and then double-click Setup.exe.

Screenshot from trace32:

Steps tried, but failed to fix it:

• Re-uploaded the entire WIM file
• Uploaded the WIM by splitting the WIM to smaller size and smaller parts
• At the failed phase tried to apply the WIM by using DISM/Imegex but the wim can be applied
• Able to Mount and unmount the same WIM by Using DISM
• Verified the WIM Hash file and matched exactly
• Finally no clue how to proceed further
• Tried to re-upload the WIM from FTP and created all new packages and tried
• Downloaded the failed WIM to other SCCM Test system and tried to deploy by creating a test system and found same error at same phase this confirmed the issue with WIM but not sure how to confirm.

Solution:-

We have recopied the Original WIM file by using ROBOCOPY and the issue was fixed. Thanks to ROBOCOPY

Build Info in the Registry From OSD task Sequence

To Implement the Build info in the Registry Simply add below TS steps at the end of task sequence

Each Step explanation

Branding - TSeq Build Date: add a ts type as Run command line

Command line:

cmd /c reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CSC\SOE /v TaskSequence_BuildDate /d "%date% %time%" /f

For getting Task Sequence Name in the Registry:

Branding - TSeq Name:-

Command line :-

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CSC\SOE /v TaskSequence_Name /d "%_SMSTSPackageName%" /f

For Branding - WIM Version

Command line:

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CSC\SOE /v WIM_Version /d "%OSDImageVersion%" /f

For Branding - Country Code :- Note the TS Env should be define for this

Command line:-

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CSC\SOE /v Country /d "%cmCountry%" /f

OSD Phases Wise set a Background Wallpaper

For setting a wallpaper based on the OS deploy Phase

Create a section in your task sequence like below

Download the BGinfo and create a package

I have copied these files in my MDT package i.e…, MDT 2013 Files\Scripts\CustomScripts\BGInfo

The package source files looks like below

Now in the TS create a step as Run command line, in the Commad Line type blow and and make sure start in should be “%scriptroot%\CustomScripts\BGInfo”

Command Line: "%scriptroot%\CustomScripts\BGInfo\Bginfo.exe" SCCM-OSD-Wallpaper-Item3.bgi /nolicprompt /silent /timer:0

Language Packs Integration in TS

For Windows Language Packages to install……

In this section we will be looking at Three major areas

1) OS Language packs
2) IE language Packs

3)Office lanugage Packs

For OS:-

Download the LP.Cab files

Create a package and without a program

Now add a step in the TS with below command line

cmd /c Dism.exe /image:%OSPartition%\ /add-package /packagepath:lp.cab /loglevel:4 /LogPath:%_SMSTSLogPath%\Dism_LangPack.log /ScratchDIR:C:\_SMSTaskSequence

 

For IE language Packs

Download the language pack.msu files from MS site

Once downloaded Create a standard software package

For Program creation

wusa.exe IE9-Windows6.1-LanguagePack-x86-ind.msu /quiet /norestart /log:"%windir%\AppsLogs\IE9-Windows6.1-LanguagePack-x86-ind.log"

Add this package in TS as a Package for getting installed in TS

That’s all….. For IE

For Office language packages the story little bit different

Once you downloaded the Language Pack you will see similar to below folder structure based on the language (in my example I have taken ja.JP as Japan)

KMDF Related Issues

I have seen a strange problem when we target the drivers as software package the installation was never triggered in the Task sequence, When we look for an alternative to make this package as PnP it will fail some time the package will install however we will get below error screen,

By looking at the error screen… we can think of it could be sysprep issue or unattended.xml issue but that is not the case. I have even suspected the issue with “Open File Security Warning” but interestingly this is not the case. I have also tested on SCCM 2007 and 2012 I got the same errors and When I have changed my program command lines execution method i.e., sometimes I used .Bat, .CMD, .PS1 and .Vbs atleast sometimes it works sometimes it is not working………. But the root cause is un-known…. When investigated further found below….

Issue was Experienced Models: X440, L440, T440p, M83, X240

When looked at the Smsts.log file found “Not enough storage is available to complete this operation. (Error: 8007000E; Source: Windows)”

When looked from Trace…

Solution:-

This kind of issues we have on almost on all the new release of 2013 laptop models regardless of Manufacture Dell/HP/Lenovo because these are meant for Windows 8 OS where windows 8 support the UEFI.

Before we install OS we need to apply KMDF patch on all OS, as a SOE engineer it’s better to include this in all your WIM images before you actually deploy to latest models (I personally suggest).

For the solution steps, keep a look at my simple Task sequence that I have … I will be explaining you in next section

For my Partition Disk I have defined variable as %OSDisk% .. see the below screenshot

After apply Operating system, I have added a command line as below, for DISM Temp Directory

cmd.exe /c mkdir %OSDisk%\Dummy

I have downloaded the patch from Microsoft and used 7zip tool and extracted it
Path for Download link

http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=38423

Based on the X86 (kmdf-1.11-Win-6.1-x86.msu) or X64 (kmdf-1.11-Win-6.1-x64.msu) Once you have extracted the
If extracted X86 you will be getting below

If Extracted X64 you will be getting as below

Create a SCCM Software package (program is not required) from the source that you have extracted above i.e., X86 or X64 the version is dependent on your WIM Architecture

In the SCCM task Sequence call a Step as Install KMDF and type of step should be a “Run Command Line”

And in the command line paste below and replace the package ID with your package ID i.e., LAB00080 with your package ID

cmd.exe /c X:\windows\system32\dism.exe /ScratchDir:%OSDisk%\Dummy /Image:%OSDisk%\ /Add-Package /PackagePath:%_SMSTSMDataPath%\Packages\LAB00080\Windows6.1-KB2685811-x86.cab

Note:- if you are deploying for Windows X64 Bit then you also need to change the from Windows6.1-KB2685811-x86.cab to Windows6.1-KB2685811-x64.cab in the above command line

Show the Package that we have created in SCCM sw distribution section.

Finally in the task Sequence will call a command line to clean up the Directory temp Directory that we used at the first step of task sequence

cmd.exe /c rmdir "%OSDisk%\Dummy" /q /s

That’s all….

Now it should start installing all the drivers packages that you pushed from PnP or as Bad package / Software Distribution based..
