    I completely agree with xSauronx. I would recommend sysprep on the source machine as opposed to the destination. Can you explain whats going on the the unattend.xml file from Win 8.1?

    Imaging and Deployment Software

    dlock, I think this is the post you were referring to. I'm pretty sure MDT does this already, as a quick search shows it uses ImageX. One thing to note, the MDT captures have to be started from within Windows, not PE. Are you referring to capturing the images that come on the machines from...

    Just a tip for MDT, you really don't need more than a file share unless you are wanting to do PXE or Multicast. Also, if you mainly a Dell shop, download the PE drivers, so you don't have to constantly update boot media. This link is for the Dell Enterpise cabs, note these aren't perfect...

    Yes, MDT is hardware independent. I currently build my images in a VM and deploy to many different models. This includes Dell laptops and desktops, and Surface Pro 3. I used to build on physical hardware, but in my opinion VMs are the best way, because I can revert snapshot and not mess with...

    Do you have the option of capturing to a network share? Microsoft Deployment Toolkit will be one of the better options and more than likely is free to your organization.

    Dammit...I have the worst luck with Samsung SSD's--new 850 is frozen.

    Meghan54, do you happen to be using an AMD based system? I considered an Samsung SSD before going with intel from my system. But I read several reviews on Newegg about problems with some of the 830 & 840 with the AMD SB850 southbridge in my machine.

    Raid, unRaid, No Raid, Storage Spaces, Drive Bender...which?

    I'm currently using StableBit DrivePool on WHS 2011. I really like it because it pools all drives and I can set duplicate per folder. It also stores the data in NTFS, so if I need to access my data I can throw the drive in practically any PC.

    build or buy NAS for plex server

    How did you get Plex to run as a service? I had problems trying to get mine to work like that. You may want to look into Stablebit Drivepool as an alternative to RAID. For me it was a no-brainer replacement for Drive Extender for $20.

    Smart phones aren't the only things banned. Many of the TI graphing calculators are banned also. In my math course a few years ago, my TI-83, was banned and I had to buy some Casio grapher. I think its because they have the ability to store programs.

    Is there a way to image windows 7?

    Clonezilla can do this also and is free. If you are expanding the partition then you'll need to do that separately. I recently just did this myself, and expanded the partition with a GParted Live USB.

    Remote access to WHS v1 from Win 8.1 client

    Try doing an nslookup on your Android and then doing an nslookup on the PCs that are unable to connect. The IP address for the server should be the same on all devices. For clarity, you are attempting to connect to xxxx.homeserver.com, from outside the network the server is on?
