Fun and games with MDT - Microsoft Deployment Toolkit

First most useful part of this for me was finding out the defaults for the bootstrap.ini and the CustomSettings.ini files


Bootstrap.ini

[Settings]
Priority = MACADDRESS, Default
[Default]
DeployRoot=\\DUBWDS001\DeploymentShare$
SkipBDDWelcome=YES
KeyboardLocale=en-IE

USerID=administrator
USerDomain=Gargan.me
UserPassword=

****************************************************

CustomSettings.ini

[Settings]
Priority=Default
Properties=MyCustomProperty
[Default]
 OSInstall=Y
 SkipTaskSequence=YES
 TaskSequenceID=002
 SkipPackageDisplay=NO
 SkipApplications=NO
 SkipAppsOnUpgrade=YES
 SkipCapture=YES
 SkipProductKey=YES
 SkipComputerBackup=YES
 SkipBDDWelcome=YES
 SkipAdminPassword=YES
 AdminPassword=defaultpassword
 SkipDeploymentType=YES
 DeploymentType=NEWCOMPUTER
 SkipUserData=YES
 SkipDomainMembership=YES
 JoinDomain=Gargan.me
 DomainAdmin=administrator
 DomainAdminDomain=Gargan.me
 DomainAdminPassword=defaultpassword
 SkipFinalSummary=YES
 SkipLocaleSelection=YES
 SkipComputerName=NO
 ComputerName=DUBXXXLP
 SkipTimeZone=YES
 KeyboardLocale=1809:00001809
 UserLocale=en-IE
 TimeZone=085
 TimeZoneName=GMT Standard Time
 _SMSTSOrgName=gargan.me
 SkipRoles=YES
 SkipBitLocker=YES
 SkipSummary=YES


These settings are configured for UK or Ireland and I pieced this together from a number of helpful websites. In my next post I will go into more detail on the setup of MDT
