Abort PE Startup in MDT 2010 and Return to OS


A quick annoyance and one that I always forget. For anyone using MDT getting stuck with MDT loading up time after time and not knowing how to abort the PE load-up here’s  the simple trick:

In PE environment, hit F8 to load up a cmd prompt. List out the directories (dir) and use command rd /s MININT and rd /s _SMStasksequence. You may have to search root drives as it  may not always be on C:.

Once killed the system boots up like it did before.

I’m sure there is a better way but… *shrug*
