Trying to setup a MDT 2012 enviromnent. Plan is to roll out Windows 7 with MDT.
Server:
Windows 2008 R2 Standard
Windows Automated Installation Kit for Windows 7
MDT 2012, Update 1
WDS configured for PXE boot
Added a deployment share, added operating system files (Windows 7 64 bit pro), drivers for network interface for test machine, created the boot media, and placed this on the WDS.
Starting PXE just fine with the boot-wim-file.
Reaching WinPE, starting the Wizard automatically, gathering information, and is finally prompted with the "Microsoft Deployment Toolkit".
With the option to "Run the Deployment Wizard to install a new Operating System" or "Exit to Command Prompt".
When clicking on "Run the Deployment…." I'm faced with an error:
"A connection to the deployment share (\\mdtserver\deploymentshare$) could not be made.
Connection OK. Possible cause: Invalid credentials"
Pressing F8, to reach a command prompt.
"ipconfig" shows an IP-address.
I can PING the deployment server.
I can mount the Deployment share using "net use" and providing the username/password added in the bootstrap.ini.
Bootstrap.ini contains:
DeployRoot=\mdtserver\deploymentShare$
UserDomain="domain"
UserID="mdt-account"
UserPassword="password"
I've been trying all I can think of, but Im still faced with this error.
According to all instruction videos and all manuals I have read/seen, I do the same thing as everybody else, it's just that my config doesn't work 🙁

Found the reason.
I was using Swedish version of the 2008 R2 OS.
Installed again with English 2008R2, and after that I had no problem at all.
So Swedish OS was the problem here. Installed English version of AIK also.
So case closed
