Error in unattend file windows 8 and 8.1 sysprep

Hi,
I am using MDT 2013 and ADK 8.1. I am trying to deploy Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 base image. Once the PC has finished imaging and starts the first boot it come up with the following message:
"Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize].  The setting in the answer file cannot be applied.  The error was detected while processing settings for component [Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup]."
I have not created any answer files, I think this is created automatically my MDT when you create a Task Sequence.
I am not trying to deploy a custom image, this is the base image that was taken off the DVD and imported to MDT. When I use the DVD to install the OS it works fine but not through MDT.
Any help will be much appreciated..
Thanks

Check your dism.log
You can find it on your client: C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log
This will tell you exactly which setting cannot be parsed.
Cheers!

    I have a new 2 month old(Aug 2014) hp eliteone 800 all in one computer running win 8.1 64bit. i have two  1 tb hard drives raid configuration. left computer on for an afternoon and when I came back it was off mysteriously. tried to turn on and it
    attempted to repair and was never able to repair. hp sent a new windows 8 software to install, they said os was corrupt. installed three times now i get error code: 0xc0000001 file: \windows\system32\winload.efi  missing or contains errors. hp said installation
    disc probably corrupt and sent me another. installed twice with same result, error code: 0xc0000001 file: \windows\system32\winload.efi  missing or contains errors. This began after the computer was just one month old and after i had placed 300-400
    gb of my personal data from other computers on it. I need all of these files so can't just recover/delete all of the files on the computer, although i have read that that may be my only solution? If i do recover will the files still be on the second hard drive??
    can you help with this problem?? thanks.

    Hi Richard,
    Did you try to repair or reinstall the system when you insert the new media?
    Have you tried to carry out a system recovery, which will restore your system back to factory defaults and how was the result?
    In addition, I suggest you use the new installation media to do a clean install(full format the old system).

  • Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?

    Like the topic - "Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?"
    I installed this OS, and it looks nice, but it's terrible to use. I randomly have the volume controls get disabled, and sometimes the volume menu in the system tray does nothing when adjusted which I've never seen in an OS before. The trash won't empty. When I try to drag and drop newer files over existing ones, nothing happens. The old ones just stay there. I have to delete the old ones and then move the new ones. And when I go into the protected files to manage audio plugins (I make music), the first thing I hit are error codes galore, and password prompts that either don't popup when they should, or don't execute the command after I provide my password.
    What can I do now that I installed the flames of **** onto my computer?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    resetp
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Javascript error at startup, file open and shutdown

    I am using Dreamweaver CC on Windows 7, 64-bit.  Starting with the last CC update to Dreamweaver, I get a javascript error at DW startup, file open and DW shutdown.  The application seems to work fine, but the errors happen everytime and are always the same.  At startup, it complains that a variable bcinit does not exist in file "BusinessCatalyst."  At file open, the error is in file "_onOpen" onOpen is not defined and at shutdown, in file "TeamAdminTempDelete" delTempFile is not defined.

  • Trying to edit on Encores provided Menu templates. Error message PhotoShop File-1 and Sorry, Abnormal Condition has been Detected

    I've had Encore CS5 for 1 1/2 years and have only used it twice. This third time, I started getting an error message when I try to edit on one of the menu templates provided by Encore. First message is PhotoShop File-1 and then "Sorry, Abnormal Condition has been detected. You have one chance to save your work (use a different file name to save it under)

I tried updating Encore. I am at a loss.@

    One of the first issues we saw here with Mavericks. Appeared to be more of an issue with Encore 5.0 and 5.1 than 6. But I believed users found a way to fix this. We did not get enough reports back.

  • Can't see anything in Print and New File window and others..

    Hello,
    I just bought a new computer with Windows 7. I downloaded the Illustrator CS5 trial to check it out before I purchase it. It installed fine and I can open files but when I open the print menu, the print window opens in a long vertical rectangle, completely empty. If I press enter though, the file will print. When I go to new,  I have the same problem as well as with other menu options like document setup.
    Is there any way to fix this? I tried running it under XP compatibility but that didn't make a difference.
    THANK YOU!

    If you installed iWork from the disk, did you run the updates?
    If you copied the app over from the old Mac you would also need a copy of the iWork '08 folder which is in Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support

  • File window not updating modif. dates – and mysterious parallel universe discovered

    The day started innocently enough when I tried to edit some <meta> content on a site I'm building and then saved my work. Little did I know...
    DW's "File" window refused to update the "Modified" column of the files I worked on.  Open and closing the files shows that my changes have been recognized and incorporated into the HTML, and the files show up with correct modification dates in Finder (I'm on a Mac). They just won't change date in DW.
    When I upload the modified-but-not-redated-in-DreamWeaver files to my remote site, they appear with the incorrect dates on the server, but a text comparison in DW shows that my local and remote files are synched.
    Now for the truly weird part: when I run the site in Safari (after flushing its cache), a Source check shows the old code is still operational.  (I also changed the titles of the pages in question to quickly confirm which version was being displayed. This check shows the old title displayed.)
    Here's the site address:  http://www.bearriverbooks.com/index.html
    Now for the truly, truly wierd part.  I have a parallel site ( http://www.queen-of-the-northern-mines.com/index.html ) which contains copies of the bearriverbooks.com files. These files, too, show the wrong modification dates in DW's "Files" window and on the remote server – but they display correctly. Anyone who wants to check can compare page titles, which are longer in the later pages with correct code.
    I checked the remote site addresses in the "Manage Sites..." center.  I have not crossed my wires there (though I can smell a few arcing badly in my brain.).
    The players:  2.8 GHz Intel Core i5 27" iMac running Mac OSX 10.6.7  /  Dreamweaver CS5 v.11.0 Build 4964

    I am having the same issue on a Mac 3.4Ghz i7 running Mac OS 10.7.  I have Dreamweaver CS 5.5 v.11.5 Build 5344.

    Both my mac and my linux server are set to the correct date and time.
    And ls on the linux servers tells me the files have the correct modified date and time, but this is getting lost in translation to dreamweaver when I view the remove server in the File tab.
    Any help appreciated.

  • 1.4 errors - Mac vs. Windows

    I'd like to see a concise list as to which of the recently discovered 1.4 errors effect Mac platforms, Windows and both Any help here would be appreciated. I'm using 1.4 on a MacBook, importing and then converting my CR2 files to DNG and have so far noticed no errors Am I missing something?
    Bill

    Dick,
    LR 1.4 is readjusting certain aspects of RAW files, which gives me a huge case of the willies. This happened with some of my images but most of my images were previously set to read only. Luckily i had the effected images still on a memory card so it was easy to restore.
    There are a few threads discussing this already, so i won't go into all the detail about observing this here.
    See the thread, 'Lightroom 1.4 writing inside CR2 files'

  • "Save Pdf File" window

    Hi,
    I have an Access 2000 aplication which works fine with Acrobat 8.1.2 Pro
    -you select a product name
    -a PDF file is generated from this product's "Report"
    -and it's sent by mail
    It is a VBA code which stores: folder name, file name, printer name into Windows Registry
    I have migrated the file to Access 2007 and now there is a problem.
    It opens a "Save Pdf file" window and asks me to select a folder and to enter a file name.
    Seems that name and folder retrieve from the registry is not working.
    What is it? What can I do to resolve the problem? Any idea?
    Thanks,

    I searched without success ...How to find it?
    I have this:
    ' Put the output filename where Acrobat could find it

  • Two file windows disappear if I use extend screen to compare 2 lessons

    I use a laptop and an extra screen in "Extended" mode. I drag out one file window from Captivate and maximise it to the full screen size. I drag out the other file window, and make it as large as possible on the laptop.
    When I move to another app (e.g. Outlook) , I lose both these file windows and can't find them again without closing them and reopening them. Usually, if Word is in the extra screen, it still shows as a window in the task bar. This does not happen for the Captivate file windows despite having the standard functionality window controls.
    My question is where in Captivate can you bring back these files when they disappear? I checked the windows menu but to no avail.

  • Adobe File Window repeatedly opens on boot-up of PC ??!!!?!

    Hi, I've checked all the posts and don't see this anywhere
    else so here goes.
    I like what I see program-wise BUT, how do I stop the Adobe
    file window opening each time I boot-up my PC?
    This maybe small and insignificant to some but I am beginning
    to find it pretty irritating.
    I boot up and there it is, after usual system tray load-ups
    etc up it pops. The open window displaying the contents of the
    Adobe.com files.
    I have checked the root and it states, correctly as far as I
    can tell, C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat.com yep that's where it's
    loaded, but why is it popping-up open on my Desktop open each time
    I boot-up?
    I have checked my preferences and find nothing to invoke
    this, I am definitely sure it isn't open on the Desktop when I shut
    down so how and why is this happening.
    I have never seen this behaviour before with other programs
    and can only assume it's something to do with the Beta version, and
    an Adobe burning desire to keep reminding me that "I'm here!".
    Before I uninstall completely (assuming that will cure this
    narcisstic little annoyance), any suggestions would be most
    welcome.
    Thanks, Rob.

    Hi Dean & Pete thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
    You may well have identified an install problem when you
    asked "did you upgrade to Reader 9 from an earlier version"
    Yes I did, one of the reasons I was bothered by this
    auto-launching of the Acrobat.com file window is because I had just
    completed a total clean install of operating system (XP Pro) onto a
    brand new hard drive and I have been very choosy about what I 'OK'
    for start programs when loading or reloading all my software.
    Adobe Reader version 7 was installed during me loading
    Pinnacle Studio 9 Plus.
    I was aware there were several upgrades to 7 and went along
    to Adobe's site to download the very latest Reader version, this is
    where I discovered Acrobat.com Beta
    Maybe the problem is part of a leap-frog of several versions
    and why that this happens?
    Also, thanks to Dean for a workaround, makes sense and worth
    doing if I couldn't solve the problem, as I really like the look of
    what's developing with Acrobat.com
    The great news is I have found a cure without uninstalling
    anything.
    What I did was go into my startups via System tools/System
    information/Software environment/StartUp Programs and there is an
    'updateMgr' for Adobe reader version 7 and Adobe Acrobat
    Speedlauncher (Type: 'Global')
    Due to the Windows system information appearing not to allow
    me to change any of the settings, I have use a neat little freeware
    program called System Explorer (
    http://systemexplorer.mistergroup.org/
    This has enabled me to easily disable the two Adobe startups
    that seemed to be conflisting and causing the problem, and now
    everything seems back to normal, with no Autolaunch of the
    Acrobat.com file window and total use of Acrobat.com from my
    desktop shortcut.
    Hope this helps others!
    Regards, Rob.

  • PDF "FILE DAMAGED AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED".

    I work at a software firm. We have a web app. Users are complaining that when they download a document in the Web app, they can't use that PDF, as the ERROR Message is "FILE DAMAGED AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED." Known issue. But, how do I fix it. It has to do with encoding and my suggestion is to call the ISP, but is that all that I can do? Is there anything in this forum I can point to?

    there is something with the pdf itself that is stopping FF from opening it, as when i try opening the same in Crome ... there also i encounter the same problem (the file opens partially and then stops opening). But if i download the same then i can view the same in Acrobat reader properly.
    May be the way the pdf was created used something which FF s not able to render (the graphics used in charts etc)
    The work around that is available is that you download the file and save it somwhere, then open the same in Acrobat reader separately
