My environment is running on physical hardware - no virtualization across any of the components.....sorry should have mentioned that.

OS wim files etc downloading normally under WinPE. This was running on a fully patched Server 2008 R2 instance with local minimum SQL 2008 R2 level DB instance. My PXE enabled DP's are also running Server 2008 R2. I had one instance of WDS failing on one of the DP's after the upgrade, removing WDS and reinstalling the role corrected the problem. Upgrade path as follows: Uninstalled ADK 8.0 via add remove programs Installed ADK 8.1 Installed MDT 2013 which updated the MDT 2012 Update 1 instance Installed Config Manager 2012 R2 Re-ran MDT Integration following successful upgrade to R2 Removed existing WinPE 4.0 boot images from distribution points and left them intact within the console Created new MDT 2013 generated WinPE 5.0 boot images and replicated to DPs Created new MDT 2013 files package in Config Mgr after upgrading my MDT deployment share Adjusted Task Sequences etc, etc I do have the Dart 7.0 components in my MDT WinPE 5.0 boot images however I don't believe this is related to the slow downloads within the PE environment. No other additional components have been added when creating the WinPE 5.0 boot images and I don't have any additional files or pre-exec hook's built into the boot images. Just standard MDT generated with the Dart 7.0 component. OS wim files were captured using MDT 2012 Update 1 (for Win 7) and MDT 2013 (for Win 8.1) with standard sysprep and capture TS. Source wim images built and captured using Hyper V on Windows 8 Enterprise. Hope a fix is found soon!

Is there anything "Exotic" about your configuration that stands right out? Anything done to these OS, there is a variable involved here, some are seeing the issue and others are not :( Robert From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jason Sandys Sent: 28 October 2013 01:02 To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] RE: Slow download in 2012 R2 WinPe They've had a hard time repro-ing this internally but are well aware of the many folks having the issue and are actively working to address it. Your best bet is to contact CSS and provide information about the environment and issue - the more info that they have, the better they will be able to find the root cause and provide the fix (whether that be code or configuration).

Hopefully a hotfix / work around is released by Microsoft shortly. When you have 150+ replacements coming up - an extra 15-20 minutes to download the OS to the disk really blows out your replacement times. I've also noticed that its slow when downloading driver packages and the MDT 2013 Files package.
