Windows 8 Deployment Secure Boot to packed hard drive-MDT 2012

Thought I would throw this out here to see if anybody could help.  The company I'm working for has decided to go with Samsung Ultrabook Series 5 for Windows 8 deployment.  This is the first mass deployed system for us that has been a non-Dell system and of course, also the first to use the featured secure boot.  Now we've been successful at image these bad boys from the MDT 2012 server, but failed at creating a self packaged hard drive that will install itself once the user boots up.  I've tried this 4 different ways and wound up with 3 different issues.  The closest being the 2nd scenario.  This secure boot has left me limited, but this is the way that our IT director wants the laptops imaged and understandably so.  

Scenario 1: Create a litetouch OEM installation from the live MDT server.

I PXE boot into this server and run litetouch OEM.  It fails after the hard drive format.  

Error: Failed to run the action: Copy Media CD to Local Hard disk for OEM pre-installation.  Execution has been aborted.  The SMB requested a CSE FSCTL on a non-CSE file.  (Google search yielded nada.  Even one site I found humorously defined this error by simply restating the error.)

Scenario 2:  Create a Media ISO from Deployment Share and use Hyper V with mounted VHD.  Format partition option is standard NTFS

This actually goes all the way through, and I copy the VHD to an SSD via a partition editor.  

Error:  No error message really.  Just the hard drive won't boot.  

Scenario 3: Same as scenario 2 except format partition option is GPT.

This will copy the contents of the ISO to the hard drive, but then it fails at Staging Media with what looks like an invalid media error code.  

Error:  Sorry, I didn't write this down but it appears relate to invalid media code and what I wonder might be a limitation of Hyper V and secure boot.

Scenario 4:  Same as scenario 1 except deployment through Hyper V instead of the actual laptop.  

Error:  Failure is the same as error for #1.  

Also as a side note, I've done step 2 before exactly as is with the Dell Latitudes that we deploy too.  Hard drive once installed on the laptop boots and unpacks successfully.
