Windows 10: Can't OSD Gen9 computers with MDT

HiI have now tried several different models of Gen9 computers but cannot manage OSD with MDT. The previous generation is not a problem, only Gen9. The masks find the MDT server and download WinPE, but then it stops at the first image in MDT and nothing more happens. It doesn't matter if I PXE boot or boot from ISO/USB, the same problem occurs. As a driver in WinPE, I use SoftPaq #142621, which can be found at https://ftp.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/softpaq/WinPE10.html. Please, can someone help me? I have a large number of machines that need to be deployed?Yes, I have asked the same

OSD - Incrementing Computer Names for shared NIC / Docking

Hi,

I have been given permission from Johan Arwidmark to post this. Some of his MDT Database extensions are used and modified to create this solution.

Most of today's new laptop devices does not have a RJ45 NIC, only Wi-Fi is included. To support OSD over PXE, you need to use a USB NIC or USB docking, making the MAC address shared by multiple computers. For PXE identification, excluding the MAC address is easily accomplishable.

However, if you use the MDT database for assigning incrementing OSDComputername, there are some modifications needed. For unique MAC addresses, Johan Arwidmark has provided a great solution for this. To support shared MAC Addresses, I have modified this solution to identify or create OSDComputername with UUID as the identifier. If computers are in the MDT database with MAC address and UUID is null, the row is updated with the UUID of the Computer.

I have provided 2 files to hopefully be able to help others. One contains a script to create the "IdentifyComputer_UUID" Stored Procedure. The other one is a CUSTOMSETTINGS.INI file where CSETTINGS is only using UUID for the query.
