Help with MDT 2010 issue

[gotenks98]

My problem is that when I boot up MDT to deploy when it gets ready to start the task sequence it says Litetouch encountered an Environment Error. Something in the error message says to make sure you have the hard drive set first for booting. Well my machine is like that but I still get this error. Previously it only happened on one machine now its doing it on all of them I test this on even my virtual machines. Also I noticed that MDT is caching my settings from my previous attempt to run a task sequence. Its like its stuck but no way to start it all the way over.

If a MDT deployment fails, you need to click Finish on the red dialog screen (deployment summary). Otherwise the logfiles and task sequence progress tracker are not deleted. and the next time you execute litetouch.vbs, it tries to resume..

In the past (BDD 2007/MDT 2008 days) I added a script that executed before litetouch.vsb that cleaned out any junk. Not very much needed anymore in MDT 2010 (as long as you do click Finish).

Leftover junk prevents new installation in MDT 2008 / BDD 2007

Thats the crazy thing I can get this from a completely naked hard drive with no partitions on it. I dont see an option for finish. If I hit ok it just reboots the system. If I dont hit anything it auto-reboots after like 15 seconds or so.

Edit: I think your right on this. There was some kind of hidden partition thats like only 300 mbs. Once I got access to it I saw the folders you listed. Gonna try again to see if this works.

Second Edit: Deleting those folders worked like a charm. Just how do you do it as a batch or cmd file? I suck at programming so I was needing the correct syntax for this.

Are all of the machines using the same GUID for their NIC? Also, are you using a database for storing MDT settings?

Settings ended up being on another partition that gets hidden for some reason. Once I deleted those folders it allowed me to re-do the image process. Now I just gotta get the capture process down pack.
