In this blog post i will cover how to get the best performance out of your Reference Task Sequence and some useful Applications which are also worth adding to your deployment share to improve build times, patching and cleans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improving Performance<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What I’ve found over the years of Building and Deploying through MDT, is that by default the power plan set on the device is always balanced, which is fine for general day to day use however when your wanting to get an image deployed as soon as possible and maximise all the CPU Cores on the processor. it does actually save time in deployment and image capture. So we negate this small problem we can create a ‘Run Command Line’ Module with a CMD line of :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PowerCfg.exe \/s 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The Actual ‘Run Command Line’ Module would look like this<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Where to add the Power Plan Module? I normally add it under 
1) ‘Initialization Folder<\/strong>‘ after the ‘Gather local only’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
2) ‘State Restore’ <\/strong>after the ‘Gather local only’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
3) ‘Imaging<\/strong>‘ > ‘Capture Image<\/strong>‘ > ‘after the reboot option’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installing Visual Studio Runtimes (VC++)<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mikael Nystrom (TrueSec Deployment Guru) created a blog post back in 2014 (Link Here<\/a>) Which allowed for the latest visual studio run times to be installed into a reference image from a single VBSScript. To save time and automate the process I’ve create a PowerShell Script which will download the VC++ Setup files and import them directly into the MDT Reference Share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Visual Studio Runtime Script can be added in at any stage on the ‘State Restore<\/strong>‘ – Personally i usually root folder before the Windows Update Tasks called ‘Pre-WU Tasks<\/strong>‘ then a Sub Folder call ‘Core Applications’ and add the VC++ and Latest .Net Frameworks and Microsoft Silverlight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding Windows10SysPrepDebloater into the Reference Task Sequence<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Script again can do anywhere within the ‘State Restore<\/strong>‘. Personally, I prefer to add the script before the Windows Update Modules run. As the De-bloater script will disable the store updates for the modern apps which have been removed. to add the Script into the Task Sequence we can use a ‘Run PowerShell Script’ Module and add the following into it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
%SCRIPTROOT%\\Windows10SysPrepDebloater.ps1<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

 Deploying CleanupBeforeSysprep Script<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Another Script from Mikael Nystrom (TrueSec Deployment Guru) this script is to be run at the end of the deployment task just before the Sysprep Process runs. This resets various windows features and runs a disk cleanup over. Below is the simple PowerShell Import Script I’ve created to help save time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding CleanupBeforeSysprep into the Reference Task Sequence<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mikael Recommends that you complete a Reboot of the Operating System before running this script to ensure that there are no pending reboots, or update processes running. Depending on the specs of the Virtual Machine this is running on, I’ve seen this take up to 2 Hours, this is mainly on the Disk Cleanup and Windows Update Patch cleanups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I've been working with in the IT Industry for around 6 years and have worked across private and public sector companies. The original idea behind \"hypervlab\" was that I required an 'RnD' environment which would allow me to be able to replicate any kind of enterprise on-premise environment which I could use for learning and testing without learning in a production environment. So in 2019, I decided to branch out and use the domain for a public facing blog to be able to contribute to the IT Community about all things Microsoft.","sameAs":["https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/simon-john-lee\/","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/smoon_lee"],"url":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/?author=2"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1351"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1351\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1351"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
