MDT UDI Pre-flight checks

UDIPreflight

One of the best things to come out of MDT is the User Driven Interface (UDI) and the preflight page which allows custom checks. You can control whether a check passes or not with the exit code of the script. The locations to put preflight scripts is MDT Toolkit files packagetoolsArchPreflight

Check TPM Chip

This is a powershell script that exits 0 if it is a VM or a MAC (machines allowed to not have TPM) then checks for the existence of a TPM chip. It then checks to see if it has been activated in the BIOS.
Takes a few seconds to run, hopefully I can optimise it in the future.

Check AD Name

I have a script that looks to the AD to warn if the computer name exists. There's quite a bit of work involved to get it working, will share if anyone is interested.
