Alright. I'm gonna throw MDT through the window here in a second. I'm just trying to make a stock OEM image just as proof of concept before I start adding stuff on it but I'm still getting task sequence errors. What do?

Yes, I've googled. I get a few conflicting answers on what those errors mean but a fresh imported OS + fresh unchanged Task Sequence = errors on capture still.

What is the actual problem? "I get some errors in the task sequence" isn't much to go on.

What sort of errors are you getting? Generally they are very specific as to what the actual problem is.

On a default task sequence, I get "Can not find script file "C:\LTIBootstrap.vbs"" and it just doesn't do anything after that. I assume the vbs is supposed to be the next step but it isn't in the default task sequence\install?

It's very likely that your PE image is missing storage drivers

e:
The bootstrap vbs is what loads up the task sequence in the first place. The task sequence can't even start without it.

It doesn't error out until after the OS is installed and the sequence installs updates.

Love these moments when you feel on fire.

We may not have functional SCCM in time for a Windows 10 migration, have been working on designing our new GPO setup in the test network, so made a side-project of figuring out how to mimic every documented step of setting up a standard computer from scratch with GPOs, msi's, mst's, and batch login scripting for the stuff that only comes in .exe and .msu. (with checks to see if already in place) Most of the way there, if all works out, we got a backup plan if we gotta do a ton of clean manual installs. Plus a lot more control over our software, and a massive reduction in steps when having to set up a computer/new image from scratch.

I have been tasked with stocking laptop chargers for guests to use when theirs inevitably are broken/lost/forgotten/what ever.

Does anyone have a good solution beyond just buying a bunch of common plugs/power ratings? The universal ones I've seen all seem pretty sketch by design and seem to be more used for "does this laptop turn on" diagnostics rather than actually charging a laptop for an extended period of time.

There are plenty out there that come with a variety of adapters and work fine for a stop gap. Some may not charge at full speed and others might not charge at all, but it will keep it from dying.

Gucci Loafers: May 20, 2006; Ask yourself, do you really want to talk to pair of really nice gaudy shoes?

Why is this so hard?

I need to do some basic auditing of directory accounts that are assigned special permissions for my application. It writes to only objects in specific OUs but I�m shocked there isn�t a community Powershell script that already does this and I do not want to buy a 3rd Party Program.

The output from dcacls is unintuitive as hell.

What the hell am I missing?

Gucci Loafers: May 20, 2006; Ask yourself, do you really want to talk to pair of really nice gaudy shoes?

The permissions were set with DCACLS but I need a way to generate a report like csv to verify they�re set properly.

Ashely McGlone has a Technet blog with a AD Powershell permissions script but it queries the whole domain. I just need the results for one account.

Edit - I may not don�t understand dcacls enough in the first place adding to my confusion.
