What some conman mistake we do when we follow the the lab instructions and it lead to stupid errors.I am just discussing some mistakes i did .Which can be help some one..

1.    Create WIM file carefully use latest patch with 3.5 .net frame work.

2.    In case you get below error prompt after running DC01 and CM01 task sequence so please refer below Johan Arwidmark blog  for resolution.

 

Error : Failed to save environment to (80070057)

3.  Error on CM01 "extadsch.exe mfc120.dll missing".(May be Redistributable not installed or got corrupt ) 

          

You need to install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 x64 and x86 both in task sequence before config manager prerequisites or this you can download and install during the task sequence is running.

4.  While creatinga deployment share  if you get WARNING: MDT 8456 not installed, aborting...

in power shell script and you already installed MDT but still you are facing the issue .It means version miss match.You can comment this line or match the exact version you have install.

 

5.  Keep running DC01 once you are creating CM01 task sequence .
