MDT customsettings.ini Switches

I have spent a lot of time working with MDT and figuring out quite a bit of command switches in order to manipulate the deployment outcome. I listed them below. I will keep adding to this list, and if anyone has any that they do not see, please feel free to send it to me and I will make sure credit is given! Most of these are self-explanatory, but I have done my best to put them together in “categories” and given brief explanation to some.

There will be more to come, and I will also be adding the custom switches for Hardware Type, Machine Make/Model and Architecture 🙂
