I´ve been working with MDT 2010 lately, and I seem to forget some basic stuff from time to time. I´m making this post to document some of the stuff I usually end up googling.
Pause Task Sequence in MDT
Create a Run Command Line task and insert the following
cscript.exe %SCRIPTROOT%\LTISuspend.wsf
Some variables for customsettins.ini
I keep forgetting some of the variables I use from time to time.
| Variable | Description |
| SkipBDDWelcome=YES | Skip the Welcome screen. Might need this in bootstrap.ini also to make it work. |
| SkipAdminPassword=YES | Skips the wizard for username, password and domain to connect to shares. Also needs these variables set in bootstrap.ini:UserID=<username> UserDomain=<domain> UserPassword=<password> |
| SkipSummary=YES SkipFinalSummary=YES |
Skips the summary pages both on start and end of deployment. |
| SkipLocaleSelection=YES KeyboardLocale=0414:00000414 UserLocale=nb-no UILanguage=nb-no |
Skips the Locale selection and sets the locale for the installation. In my case Norwegian. Make sure to use the correct language code and locale ID. Oddvar has mentioned this before. |
| SkipBuild=YES BuildID=W7-X64-00 |
Skip the selection of Task Sequence ID. Make sure to point to the correct ID you want to automatically select. |
| _SMSTSOrgName=My Organisation | Set the organization you want displayed. |
| SkipProductKey=YES | Skip the product key screen. Great if you are using KMS. |
| SkipBITLocker=YES | Skip Bitlocker screen. |
| SkipUserData=YES | Skip USMT screen. |
| SkipCapture=YES | Skip Capture screen. |
| JoinDomain=domain.local DomainAdmin=domain_join DomainAdminDomain=domain.local DomainAdminPassword=domain_password MachineObjectOU=OU=Computers,DC=Domain,DC=local JoinWorkGroup=Workgroup |
Variables to join a domain or workgroup. In this example I make the user choose whether to join workgroup or domain with predefined values. |
| SkipTimeZone=YES TimeZoneName=Romance Standard Time |
Skip and set time zone. |
| HideSHELL=YES | Hides the Windows Shell during deployment in MDT 2012. |
There are a lot of other variables for both customsettings.ini and bootstrap.ini. I´ll probably add more to this list later.

Indeed. That is however as far as I know for MDT 2012. I´ll add it though.
