On March 21, the first day of MMS 2011, I announced the immediate availability of the Deployment Research blog and Deployment Research Facebook page. Sites filled with video-tutorials on how to deploy operating systems. Information about this new site, as well a bunch of other deployment related community sites was by the way also printed (thank you FedEx) and put in the attendee-bag (Thank you Microsoft) for every MMS 2011 attendee, about 4000 people.
This also means that the deployvista.com blog will not be much active anymore. It will still exist, but the content will gradually be migrated over to the new site, cleaned-up and converted into the new format…
Happy deployment, and I hope to see you online in the forums…

MDT 2010 Annoyances #6 - TimeZoneName variable does not work correctly with Windows 7 x64

When deploying Windows 7 x64 using MDT 2010 Zero Touch and ConfigMgr 2007 SP2 the TimeZoneName variable does not work as expected. Windows 7 x86 however works fine.
Workaround:
Add a "Set a Task Sequence variable" action before the "Apply Windows Settings" action in the Task Sequence, and set OSDTimeZone to %TIMEZONENAME%
Note: You also need to have a x64 unattend.xml in your settings package.

| You need to set the above workaround in the TS for the timezone to work. as for the keyboard, you should set keyboardlocale=sv-SE only. Also make sure you have a x64 settings package (with a x64 unattend.xml) |
