Captured Image missing HAl details

Hi,
One of our Windows 7 images has been captured using imagex and then added to WDS. When we go to deploy it, it doesnt show up on the list. After looking at the properites of time .wim it has no hal type, is this why its not showing up?
If i do an imagex /info this is what I get
WIM Information:

Is there any way of adding the hal info to the image?

Hi,
According to my previous experience, HAL does not exist in Windows 7, I think the issue is elsewhere. This issue may be related to the X86 or X64 booting.
Please refer to the thread below.

  • WDS Install Image missing HAL details

    I have a Win2008 R2 WDS server that has been up and running for quite some time. I have a Windows 7 x86 image that is hosted on that server.
    I recently updated the Win7 image, syspreped, and uploaded to my WDS server as a new (v2) image. In the past this has always been quite simple, but for some reason i cannot get the new v2 image to display at the WDS client image selection screen.
    The WDS server allowed me to add the new v2 image to my install image group, and says its online and working properly.
    The WDS Client will only display the old v1 image and not the newly updated v2 image.
    Both images were created on the SAME computer, x86, acpi multiprocessor. I am using the SAME computer to test/deploy the image.
    The source of the problem seems to be from the install image missing the HAL details
    If i use the WDS console and drill down to my old and new install images, right click and look at the properties this is what i get:
    v1 Image: HAL Type ACPIAPIC
    v2 Image: HAL Type (ITS F"N BLANK!!!!)
    I get the same results looking at the <HAL>  </HAL> parmeters using ImageX /info blah.wim
    SO, Why the HELL does WDS/Sysprep not recognize my HAL type of my new v2 image???? I have tried 3 different computers to generate/capture the install image and ALL are missing the HAL type.
    Anyone have a clue why the WDS/SYSPREP process does not identify the HAL type and leaves me with a blank string - and hence a useless image?
    I have previously tried this KB with no change:
    "An ACPI APIC UP HAL operating system image cannot be deployed if a Windows 7 boot image or a Windows Server 2008 R2 boot image is used in the deployment process
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980711"

  • Captured images missing installed applications

    Greetings,
    I am using MDT 2013 to capture an image of a reference computer that has Windows 8.1 installed, along with several additional applications.  When I deploy the captured image with a new task sequence set up for that purpose, the applications are
    missing.  This is not a matter of the shortcuts being gone; they do not exist in the their respective Program Files folders either, and do not appear in the Programs and Features list.
    I have verified that I'm using the captured image, and captured the reference image again (from a Hyper-V VM) just to be sure.  My understanding was that sysprep & capture did not remove applications, just data that's unique to users and the machine. 
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    Problem solved.  After updating the deployment share, I had forgotten to replace the boot image within WDS. 

  • Images Missing in Detail Layout? Please Help!

    So for some reason the details section of my web apps will not show images, and I cannot figure out why.

    Just for anyone that wants to know the issue:
    On import through spreadsheet Arielr190 missed the required / before the image folder for the custom image field. This is needed to tell BC to read from the root.
    What was happening was the image path thought it was inside the web app folder, which it was not.
    This is now fixed.

  • WDS capture image on a Windows 2012 R2 server fails with a winload error

    Hello,
    I have been fighting with this problem for days now. I have to install
    30 Win8.1 Pro PC's with  WDS. The WDS service is running on a Win2012 R2
    server. I added the Win 8.1 Pro boot and install images and created a capture image.
    Now when I boot the reference computer I get  a Boot Manager message saying that winload.exe is missing or corrupt. The original boot wim works
    correctly.I removed and added the WDS role a couple of times, I tried the procedure with a 32 bit Win7 boot image, and that worked, But when I added the capture image created from the original Win8.1 boot.wim, that spoiled both capture images.  I tried
    the same thing with a Win2012 R2 Standard server after removing and adding the WDS role again, but the capture image generated the same error as above. .I see that since about mid-April many people has the same problem.Different solutions are suggested, but
    none of them   worked for me.  One of them is to mount and unmount the capture image, that didn't help for me.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks
    Gabor

    Do I understand correctly that if you deploy original wim file to your testPC1 it works all right, but if you deploy an image that you captured on buildPC to testPC1 then you get the winload.exe error ?
     Are you formatting (deleting all the partitions) on testPC1 during the
    deployment of captured image ? Can you check and confirm if the HDD seting for AHCI or IDE (yes, its still around) is the same option on both stations?

  • Administrator account is disable when deploying windows 7 x64 captured image

    I’m using MDT 2012 update 1. I create one deployment share with two task sequence.
    The task sequences are: one for windows 7 x86 and the other one is windows 7 x64.
    Both are working fine until I try to sysprep and capture with all the windows updates.
    Sysprep and capture windows 7 x86 with all windows update work fine. I’m able to deploy the captured image without an error.
    My problem is with the windows 7 x64 captured image. I’m able to sysprep and capture the windows7 x64 with all the windows update. Once the capture is completed, I change the .win file in my windows 7 x64 task sequence to point to the new .win file (capture
    image with all the windows update). When I deploy windows 7 x64 on a pc, the OS get install but boot up to the sign on screen. The Task sequence does not complete. No error message. Cannot log in as local or domain administrator, account is disable.
    Why does it work with my windows 7 x86 image and not with my windows 7 x64 image?
    With my windows 7 x86 image the task sequence completed successfully with no error and it logon automatically in windows but not with my windows 7 x64 image.
    Both task sequences are the same.
    Let me know if any info for this please.
    thanks

    They should both work, perhaps you missed a step when creating the x64 image.
    1. Verify that the Windows 7 x64 image was created cleanly, with no errors. Sysprep ran with no errors.
    2. Verify that you created the windows 7 deployment task sequence cleanly. I would do a windiff of the TS.xml and unattend.xml file from both folders in the deployment share.
    3. Try running without a domain. Some domain's have a GP set to disable the local administrator account.

  • AVCaptureDevice adjustingExposure is False but captured image is dark

    The facetime camera is supposed to automatically set exposure but the adjustingExposure parameter of AVCaptureDevice is always "NO" and the observer is never called. So my app does not now when it's safe to capture the image.
    I've described my code in more details on stackoverflow:
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27260697/avcapturedevice-adjustingexposure-is -false-but-captured-image-is-dark

    You may need to register your camera with the the launch service database again, see this post by Alan Roseman: Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
    There is a "typo" in the command given in the link above, so read also the following posts on how to correctly enter the command and how the fix is supposed to work
    Good luck.

  • Windows 7 Professional PC hangs at "Loading files" when trying to boot with custom capture image on Windows Deployment Services.

    I have created a custom capture image in WDS. Now when I try to boot my reference PC into this image the PC hangs at "Loading files". The reference PC is running Windows 7 and I am using Windows Server 2012 Standard on my server.
    I have followed the instructions on how to create the custom capture image on the server to a fault. I PXE boot the PC and it shows the capture images after I hit F12. The problem is that it starts to boot and then hangs about 2/3 way through the progress
    bar.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Capturing image with electronic signature.

    A new functionality of electronic signature is provided with webcenter content. We can create metadata for electronic signature but its type can only be text, int, checkbox, lontText etc. It does not allow capturing image.
    As per our requirement we want a process like
    1. System will allow every user to upload an image of his signature. (We can do it by normal check in so no problem here)
    2. Electronic signature should be configured to take image as a metadata. (Currently I believe signature can't take image)
    3. When user signs a document, image metadata should get automatically populated with users signature as checked in in first step. (Currently I believe we can't set default value for signature metadata)
    4. User should provide password and other metadata information and document should get signed. (No problem here)
    5. As part of water mark we should be able to show image of signature on document.
    How should we achieve it?
    Thanks
    Sanjeev.

    I believe there's a disconnect between what an official "electronic signature" is vs. other electronic signatures. There is a defined regulation that states what an official electronic record signature is: 21 cfr part 11 .
    putting an image isn't a 'real' esig.
    I do not believe that WCContent's new esig feature is what you're after.
    I'm not sure exactly what the last few lines of your previous post were after, but you might be able to get away with only using the PDF Watermark component if you just want to stamp specific content into the pdf.
    If you want to stamp images into pdfs, you'll have to create a custom component that does some custom image manipulation, I believe.
    If you have a requirement for 'real' electronic signatures. you should check if your requirement needs to follow 21 cfr part 11. if so, then you should use what WCContent offers out of the box.
    This document seems to cover the topic in very good detail:
    http://www.usdatamanagement.com/attachments/article/274/Oracle-ECM-Part-11-Certification-White%20Paper.pdf
    Does this help separate what UCM offers as an esig vs. stamping an ink-signature image into a pdf?

  • Is it possible to capture image at specified wavelength​s

    The filter is attached to camera. The filter is switching betweeen   5 specified wavelengths. On giving the "Start Aquisition" button the camera will capture image. the problems are
    1)  the wavelength selection is written as  subvi. It changes the wavelengths , but the control returns to the calling vi only with the final wavlength( here 686.7). The other values are not reflected in the main vi.
    2)  on giving the "start aquisition" the image taken is for this final wavelength. Is it possible to take images for all the 5 wavelengths by giving "start aquisition" only at the beginning?
    3)  Now the execution control loops inside the section which captures the image( since I have given a while loop there)
    4) instead of this sub filter vi, is it possible to add a sweep program( i already have one) so that when the desired wavelength values come it will capture the image.

    Your code shows a complete lack of understanding of dataflow programming. Maybe you should start out with a few tutorials and study some example programs from the example finder.
    How are you running the code? Run continuously??? There is no toplevel loop! It is difficult to say more, because most subVIs are missing so we cannot even test.
    Your toplevel is unmaintainable, with loops and sequence structures stacked knee deep. Have a look at state machine architecture instead. Your only seem to work if controls are operated in a specific sequence. Most of the time, controls will not respond because the code does something else.
    Your "sweep program makes no sense. Why are you setting a value property that overwrites a control, making the control useless. Only use controls if the user can actually change something. Why not just initialize the shift register with a diagram constant of 400? After you do that, the sequence structure is obsolete, delete it. Why is there a local variable? Why don't you delete the local variable and place the indicator in its place inside the loop? 
    Your subfilter code makes no sense. Nothing will happen in the main VI while it is running. Data is only returned at the output terminal once the VI is finished. It does not change any wavelenghts as you claim, it simply updates it's front panel. What else do you expect? Why don't you flatten that code in the main VI, simply autoindexing an array with three wavelents in the loop that does the acquisition. Why does the output go to a case strucure with only choices 0 and 1? Since none of the outputs will ever be 0 or 1, only the empty default case will ever execute.

  • SCCM 2012 SP1 fails to install OSD of Captured Image

    I installed Windows Server 2012, Visual Studio Pro 2008, 2010, 2012 and SQL Server 2012 onto a machine. Configured the settings on Windows Server 2012 and SQL 2012 to how the Developers requested to be configured. Ran the Capture Media from SCCM 2012 SP1,
    saved to the designated network share. Capture was successful.
    I create a TS to deploy the image to the other Dev Servers but it reboots to say no valid operating system found. I checked Monitoring for the Deployment I see the Task sequence but has the following error: Device - Unknown, MessageID - 11170, Description
    - The task sequence manager could not successfully complete execution of the task sequence.
    I see in the Apply Operation System from a captured image shows 1-1, 2-2, or 3-3. Does it matter which one I select and if so what does the numbers mean?
    Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!!

    Hi Blacksuit,
    Those numbers of the captured image stand for the indexes that are part of your WIM.  And yes, it does matter which one you select.  In the ConfigMgr console, go to your Software Library > Operating Systems > Operating System Images and select
    the image you imported into ConfigMgr.  Then at the bottom, click the Details tab to display your indexes.  The index that contains your OS will have an OS Version and a description.  The other indexes will be data images and not contain any
    information in the Details tab.  You'll need to choose the index (number) that contains the OS for the Apply OS step.  To apply the data image indexes, use the Apply Data Image task sequence step and specify the partitions to apply the images
    too before the Apply OS step.
    Good luck!

  • Capturing Images

    Can you help? Is there any way to use a Mac (iPhoto, Image Capture, whatever) to capture images directly to my computer as I take them (imagine capturing a still image from a webcam but with a real camera)?
    I need to take a lot of photos in very quick succession without the hassle of (a)removing my memory card, (b) uploading images, (c) deleteing images on card, and (d) reoading the card.
    I guess there MUST be a way. Do you know what it is?

    Sorry, your profile above says 10.3. Anyway:
    From the Image Capture Help:
    Taking a picture
    Many cameras let you take a picture using Image Capture when the camera is connected to your computer.
    Connect your camera, and click Download Some.
    Click Take Picture.
    The camera snaps a picture, which then appears in the window.
    If you don't see the Take Picture icon, choose View > Customize Toolbar, and drag the icon to the toolbar.
    If the Take Picture icon is dimmed, your camera does not support this feature.
    I missed the 'Download Some' Step.

    We have a server using 2008 R2.  I am new to WDS and I'm trying to deploy an image that we captured, via WDS.  I was able to build a capture boot image and capture the image from an old AlienWare Aurora R4 computer.  I am trying to deploy
    this image to three more AlienWare Aurora R4 computers, same configuration.   After I create the boot image, and install image, I boot the AlienWare computer via PXE and choose the boot image.  I seems to start just fine, but then gives an error
    saying that there is a communication error with the server, make sure that the server is online or that the ports on the firewall are open.  Again it boots fine to the capture image, but not to the boot/install image.  What am I missing????

    Ok, I've tried deleting the unattend.xml file, which I found in another thread.  I've deleted and re-installed my images, and I'm still getting the following error;  WdsClient:  An error occured whild communicating with the windows deployment
    services server.  Please check to ensure that the server is operational and that the necessary ports are open on the server's firewall.  Server Name [servername], Server IP address [serverip]
    I can't seem to get the image to work.  I've attached the proper driver, since if I didn't I would get a different error stating that the driver was not loaded. 
    We are using Symantec Endpoint as per DOD requirements. 
    If we don't find a solution soon, I may be forced to uninstall and reinstall Deployment services.  This project is becomming  time critical.

  • Capture Image rest API deletes Virtual machine

    Hi,
    When we capture an image of a virtual machine, then it deletes the virtual machine in the azure portal itself.This is the same behavior through REST API as well.
    Is there any way we can keep the Virtual machine after a capture on the image is done through REST API?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You could refer the following link for details on how to capture an Azure virtual machine running Windows and it clearly mentions that "When you capture an image of a generalized virtual machine, the virtual
    machine is deleted."
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-capture-image-windows-server/
    Instead, you could try taking a snapshot of the VM using "Export-AzureVM" and "Import-AzureVM".

    Also you could consider cloning your VM (https://github.com/dsdinter/Azure-VM-clone).
