MDT Profile Generator - New version

4 A+ A-

In this post I'll show you the new version of my tool MDT Profile Generator.
One month ago I shared a tool which allows you to generate easily a customsettings.ini file for MDT.

In this new version you can find some new parameters to set:
  • Second OS Language
  • Deployment type
  • Organisation name
  • Set your computer name with the serial number
  • Internet Explorer Home Page
  • Enable the capture
  • Save and restore user data
  • Finish action after deployment
  • GPO Pack 
  • WSUS Server
  • Event service
  • Log share at the end of the setup
  • Real time logging
  • Hide the explorer duro,ng the deployment process
  • Do not create extra partition
Now let's see how it works.

How to get the script ?



What's new in this version ?

In the Details Tab
Details tab 
In the details tab a new ListBox is available to add a second language to your OS. 
It'll list all language packs from the packages.xml file.
