This works well however, the keyboard is still accessible. What mechanism is there to prevent the user starting Task Manager to start the shell or log the computer off by pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL?

Hi Niles,

HIDESHELL is a feature that was introduced in MDT 2012, it can be placed in any section.

Thanks,

Ben

HideShell not working in MDT 2012. Where does this command need to be placed in the CustomSetting.ini?

Very good article!

When reading this article, Í asked my self why are this options not default to YES, in the script ? Would it not make more sence that the end user should have less options until the deployment is finished completly, instead of having the possibility to mess al the work. ?

best regards,

Thorkell

Is there any way to hide the command prompt that is behind the Task Sequence UI while HideShell is active?

@LookingForSolutions

Keith Garner, has created a small application to sort your applications from a deployment share (also for task sequences itself)

For a small guide look at his post on:

deployment.xtremeconsulting.com/.../mdt-2010-application-ordering-new-tool

While the links aren't working anymore, you can get the files from his Skydrive:

cid-5407b03614346a99.office.live.com/.../MDT2010Ordering.zip

I've tested these tools on the 2012 beta, and they still worked.

Kind regards,

Stephan Schwarz.

Is it possible to (automatically) sort applications in the deployment UI alphabetically in MDT 2012? It's one of my pet peeves ...
