Losing a product key does not mean you have to purchase the product again, as most of the time you can recover it by scanning through the registry file.I am having a somewhat strange issue with MDT at the moment, in that our system which has worked fine for about 2 years is now playing us up, its carrying out the reimage of a machine to our 64 bit image without any fuss and everything in the build is being imported across (we are mid rollout of our 64 bit image site wide and we have had no issues whatsoever since we started in September until now), even the GPO based application installations are happening without a problem during the build, the only thing thats not installing now is our Office 2010 32 bit installation, its been setup as an application with the MDT and has gone on fine with the all reimaged machines until now, only now its decided that it plain out is refusing to play ball at all with two of the 4 machines I have recently reimaged last week.Ģ of the machines both failed to install MDT with the following problem :- IMG_0319.jpg which is not a particularly helpful problem, as it states that "An unknown error has occured".
