Make an MDT task sequence resolution independent.

You will often find yourself with a deployed computer that doesn't match the resolution it's supposed to use. It's quite annoying, especially on laptops (have you seen how ugly Windows is when displayed at 1024x768 on a 1920x1200 screen?).


There is a very easy way around that:

  1. Go to your task sequence properties.
  2. Go to the OS info tab then click on "Edit Unattend.xml"
  3. WSIM will launch, navigate to: Unattend\Components\1 windowsPE\x86_Microsoft-Windows-Setup_neutral (replace x86 with x64 if using a 64-bit OS, of course)
  4. Delete the Display component.
  5. Navigate to Unattend\Components\7 oobeSystem\x86_Microsoft-Windows-Setup_neutral (replace x86 with x64 if using a 64-bit OS, of course)
  6. Delete the Display component.
  7. Save and exit WSIM.
Congrats, you now have a resolution independent task sequence. It is highly recommended to have up to date drivers available in your deployment process.

Namaste.
