  • 1.  How to create a Windows uefi disk only with Deployment Solution Partiton Disk Task?

    Posted Oct 07, 2016 08:18 AM

    Is it possible to create a uefi disk for Windows 7/8/10 with only a Create Partition Disk Task?

    When i choose GPT, the size option is grayed out??!!

    Are there number of consecutive create partion disk tasks necessary?

    Does somebody have a configuration sample?

    I was also wondering how this gets done. @SmiWil, were you able to figure this out?

    Hello Pouch-M-T,

    I couldn't make the partitions with only the create partition disk task.

    Now i have build a client job with a combination of diskpart and create partition disk tasks.

    Hello,

    I was able to do this with the Altiris Disk Configuration.

    1. Erase Disk (Remove all Partitions)
    2. Erase Disk (Convert to GPT)
    3. Partition Disk
      1. EFI
        1. GPT Partitioning
        2. EFI
        3. Align = 1MB
      2. NTFS
        1. Primary
        2. 100%

    Hi SmiWil,

     

    Could you by any chance post more information on the diskpart scripts that are running in your job stack, as well as the partition job?

    Some screenshots of the jobs would be great!

     

    Thanks,

    Justin

    Hi Pouch-M-IT,

     

    This method preps the disk just fine, but how are you deploying windows 10 afterwards?  I have an image that was built from a scripted install and captured on a legacy BIOS PC with only one partition for the OS (using Altiris 8 HF4).  After running the job we created based on your description we have 2 partitions, I then try to deploy our image to the second partition and the job gets to 80% then claims it was successfull, but the PC will not boot afterwards.

     

    Any help suggestions would be helpful.

    Hello,

    Below is a picture of all my Altiris tasks for imaging. I do UEFI boot instead of Legacy BIOS boot. I have secure boot turned on and UEFI network stack turned as so I can PXE boot.

    I have not tested my method yet with a captured image. I'm assuming you can just replace your captured image task with my Win10 install task in the picture below. Did you do a "back-up image" when capturing or just a "disk image"?
