IEM for OS Deployment - MDT Bundle Creator 3.3: accessing internet on networks restricting Windows XP access

(imported topic written by francesco.latino)

Some companies have recently applied restrictive filters to their network devices to prevent malicious communications that attempt to take advantage of the discontinuation of Windows XP security updates.

These filters cause the tool to end in error like the following:

ERROR: Request failed: Size mismatch. Expected: ‘6707712’ but found ‘6408’

This scenario is only affecting MDT Bundle Creator 3.3 or earlier.

Next versions of MDT Bundle Creator (>=3.4) will not be affected.
