2008 R2 cannot proceed sysprep. Error 4201 SOLVED

Hello,
I've tried everything what i have found on the internet about the error code 4201 when proceeding to a sysprep generalise.
I've made a clone of a virtual machine, removed the network connections. Putted the Windows server 2008 R2 in workgroup and then tried to sysprep.
All the possible registry changes that i have seen does not work. Removing the Panther folder does not work. The Event viewer service is running and the event view is working. 
The only message i have is : The instance name passed was not recognized as valid by a WMI data provider
I would like to make a kms activation but i'd rather prefere to keep this machine in workgroup offline since it still has the same SID as the original machine.
I have attached the screenshot of the setuperr log file.
Any advice is really appreciated.
Thanks.

That did fix the issue for me about the event viewer. I could not read the security events.
I did this in normal mode but a reboot is recquired to work
This problem can be caused by a permissions issue to the: C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\WMI\RtBackup directory. The SYSTEM group needs full control permissions for the directory.
 Here are some steps on how to fix the problem.
Start Windows in Safe mode.
Open the “C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\WMI” folder.
Right-click on the RtBackup folder and choose Properties.
Click the Security tab, and click the Edit button.
Click Add, type SYSTEM and click OK button.
On the “Full control” Permission select “Allow”.
Click OK, and then click “Yes” button when asked for confirmation
Restart Windows (in Normal mode), and verify if the Windows Event Service has started.

    I digged a little deeper and figured out it was a missing directory/file in %TEMP%. Seems some CleaningTool removes all files/directories in %Temp% and after that SSMS was not working any longer. The missing file is actually not needed, but the
    missing directory causes the "Value cannot be null" error.
    My missing file name was:
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\2\6vvdaozf.tmp
    But the file name changes on every startup.
    So my missing directory name was:
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\2
    After creating a empty directory with the name "2" in %TEMP% all went back to work fine for me.
    I'm not sure the directory name is every time the same, but you can discover your missing file with the process monitor from Sysinternal Tools and filters to "Process Name is ssms.exe" and "Path contains AppData\Local\Temp"
    Hope this helps other people to solve their issues too.
    Thank you!! When I run %temp% it takes me to "C:\Users\Admin ...~\AppData\Local\Temp\some random number". At first the random number was 3, after I logged off and back on it was 2. My temp variable in enviromental variables is correct. I looked on another machine
    running SQL2008 and temp is correct there. If I try to rename the numbered folder SSMS stops working. Any idea?

  • PI 7.30 Message Mapping with MsgSplit error Split mapping created no messages, cannot proceed.

    Hi @all,
    I am working on a scenario to split one soruce message with several items to 0..n message for the same receiver.
    Therefore the occurrency of target message (signature in MM) have been adjusted.
    Not all items are forwarded to receiver, only if the content meets some rules the item should be forwarded.
    It could be that no item of the source message meet these rules and therefore no target message at all should be created.
    During test of this case I am facing following error in RWB, scenario is setup as integrated configuration.
    MappingException: Split mapping created no messages, cannot proceed. Review your mapping setup: splitting to 0 messages is not allowed.
    As the occurrency of the target message is 0..n, 0 should be also valid and there should be no error in this case, just stop processing like if there is no receiver in receiver determination step (mode IGNORE)
    Otherwise this will end up in lots of error messages which have to be analyzed and canceled manually which is quite time consuming.
    Maybe someone faced the same issue and found a solution to get rid of this error message.
    Best regards
    Jochen

    Hi Somil,
    hi Sriram,
    thanks for your response.
    In my scenario there also multiple receiver applications receiving data from one single sender application. We are using PI 7.30 dual stack and major goal is to setup all scenario as integrated configurations to have java only processing. One reason for this setup is that the main support user do not have extensive PI knowledge so far and we want to keep it as simple as possible and therefore do not want them to care about the abap stack as much as possible.
    Unfortunately migration to java only is not possible yet.
    In this release extended receiver determination using operation mapping is not supported in integrated configuration.
    There is quite complex rules to check if an item should be forward or not including lots of fields and also value mapping, so it would be quite difficult/impossible to write XPATH expression to have the same check during receiver determination step.
    One workaround could be creating a dummy message in case of no item to be forward and root this message to different place (local file which is always to be overwritten)
    Are there any alternatives/workarounds?
    Best regards
    Jochen

  • Remote Desktop Connection - cannot proceed because authentication is not enabled

    Hello,
    I try to connect via RDP from a Windows Server 2008 R2 to another 2008 R2 Server.
    I always get the error message.
    The connection cannot proceed because authentication is not enabled and the remote computer requires than authentication be enabled to connect.
    On the target machine the Remote Settings are set to:
    Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop.
    Firewall is disabled on both servers.
    Therefor I do not understand why I get an error message, that authentication is required.
    The target box is a nearly fresh syspreped machine with all current Hotfixes installed.
    I already found a lot of people having that problem by using XP (old RDP client), but no one seems to have this problem when connecting from 2008 R2 to 2008 R2.
    Thank you very much in advance for every hint.
    BR
    Matthias

    Hi Matthias,
    First I would like to confirm if you have deployed RDS (Remote Desktop Services) and you got the error, if so, please check this option
    TS Configuration, >> RDP-Tcp Properties >> change the Security Layer to "Negotiate"
    Then Recycle the TS Gateway service.
    Refer to:
    Unable to connect to Server using the Remote Web Workplace (RWW) Small Business Server 2008
    If this issue has nothing to do with RDS, and I suppose you used the cmd "mstsc" to remote access. This issue may also occur because of the version of mstsc, please make sure it has been upgraded to the new version.
    In addition, Did you have another newer server available like Server 2012? So we can test and try to use Server 2012 to remote access Server 2008 R2, and check if the issue persists.
    If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
    If you have any feedback on our support, please click here.

    Nope. I dont think you would be able to open a higher version report on a lower versions client tool as it is. However you can do this small workaround and make it work most times

  • Unable to upgrade firmware on LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw - HP Device Update cannot proceed

    I just bought a new LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw and was trying to upgrade the firmware to the latest one posted on the support website of HP and the error I keep gettin is HP Device Update cannot proceed. Below is a screenshot
    Everything is plugged in and I don't have any errors on the printer. Please help.

    Hi @EddieTr ,
    I see you're experiencing issues updating the printer's firmware. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
    Power cycle the printer.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    Print a Configuration Report to see which firmware version you have now. The latest Version is 20140129.
    Printing a Configuration Report.
    Connect the USB cable from the printer directly to the computer and run the firmware update again, if your version is older. (don't use a USB hub or Dock)
    Be sure to select the newly created print queue for the USB connection while using the tool.
    Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836 if the issue persists. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assis​t.html

  • HP 3520 all in one airprint not working. Firmware update cannot proceed

    Dear HP,
    Two days ago I purchased a HP Deskjet 3520 ALL in one printer. The installation went smooth and I am able to print wireless with my PC. However I cannot print with my iPad, iPhone 5 and using airprint. I am able to print with my HTC one mobile phone. I already went through the Apple airprint troubleshoot http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/airprint/#section_1 .
    Trying to solve the problem I wanted to upgrade the firmware.  But when I try to update firmware with the HP device updater I get the 'Update cannot proceed' message. I have tried a wireless update and an update with my usb cable connected. I have even tried various usb ports. I checked the control panel to see if my device was connected and available and it was. I have reinstalled the driver sofware from the hp website: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5162... . I have also performed reset (disconnected ALL cables, waited more than a minute, held the power button for 30 seconds and reconnected the power cable) but with result.
    How can I update my firmware to the latest version to check if I can use airprint?
    My current firmware version = STP1FN1241BR ( Hp docter)
    I am using Windows 7 64 bit

    Sorry for the delayed response. My phone quit telling me I had any notifications.
    This could be a number of things really.  Do not forget you can contact HP Cloud Support at 1-855-785-2777 and they may be able to assist you with this (not sure of any policies regarding warranty, etc, etc).
    This link will cover some of the basic router settings.  I wouldn't get into anything too detailed so these settings should be easy to change.  I made this post to help me as a reference to network issues.  The info here is from my time with Cloud Support in regards to helping you print from Apple/mobile devices.  Although the post is titled differently, this is the same info I would have given you over the phone.
    Let me know if that information helps you any.  Also, try the HP ePrint app and see if the printer is found using that method.  I am always happy to help so let me know what happens.  I will try to keep a closer eye on here for your response.
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.
    Every problem has a solution!

  • Background job SWFSLSDLEX cannot be scheduled (error )"

    Hi All ,
    i got the following error ,
    when i try to customize the SWU3 " Schedule background job for dead line monitoring ".
    The error is :
    "Work item -: Background job SWFSLSDLEX cannot be scheduled (error )"
    And the Error log says :
    Refer to your workflow system administrator.
    The specified error number should indicate possible reasons for the error. It is possible that the system is in an inconsistent state. The scheduled start of the specified background job must be compared with the minimum date/time of all work items in table SWWDHMIN. It may be necessary to delete the scheduled background job by hand and reschedule it by calling report RSWWDHEX.
    Apparently i dont see any table SWWDHMIN.
    Thanks!

    The issue is solved by adding start profile and instance profile to operation modes.
