Install ADK for Windows 10 Deployment

In this post I will walk you through installing the Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 10.  If you are upgrading you system to Windows 10 by using SCCM you need the ADK for Windows 10 if you want to deploy the latest features.

First thing you need to do is uninstall any old version of ADK installed on your SCCM server.  I have ADK for Windows 8.1 installed.  I will uninstall this and reboot my server.

Click here to download ADK for Windows 10 version 1511.

Important - their is an know issue with the PXE boot images in the ADK for Windows 10, version 1511. Click here to see the Microsoft Blog post about it.

Once you have the ADK for Windows 10 downloaded you can start the installation.  You will see the screen below asking what location you would like the installation file to be install on.  I selected the default and click the "Next" button.

 

Error 0x80070490 during PXE Boot

In this post, I will talk about repairing the 0x80070490 error you received when your PXE booting a system to re-image.

The cause of this error is your hard drive is not partition correctly or there is not any available space on the hard drive.  I have notice this error when making my Build & Capture image using a virtual system.

This fix is also good to repair error 0x80070002 and 0x80070570.  Your PXE boot will fail immediately and you will see error 0x80070002 or 0x80070570 in the SMSTS.logs.
