Image deployment Stuck at Applying Unattend.xml with DISM.EXE
Hello All,
I've integrated around 90 Patches into MDT Image of windows Server 2012. so far, only Image and Packages are in Media contents.
When I am deploying Image on a VM- then it is working fine till applying Operating system Image upto (100%)...and gets stuck at Applying Unattend.xml with DISM.exe which is very next step, see screenshot below.
This process is going on for a longer time and after this I am getting below Error and Image is not getting deployed ...
Please advise!!!
Please....
In the task sequence folder ([deploymentsharename] -> Control -> [task
id]) do you see an unattend.xml file there?

MDT 2012 - applying unattend.xml with dism.exe is extremely slow
Hello,
The image is completing successfully but it takes forever during the applying unattend.xml with dism.exe stage.
Takes well over ½ or so just for that part. It’s not a fat image just windows.
I redid my task sequence but no change. It used to be fast but now it seems like it hanging during the stage.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advanceOne of the things that DISM does is to apply all the device drivers you specify. Please check the selection profile you have used for the Inject Drivers step and while you are at it check also for the Packages. By default it is set to everything,
if you do as I do and select specific device drivers make sure the selection profile is set to what ever you need or set to nothing if you set the MDT variables DeviceDriversxxx specifically.
Thanks for the reply. I have all of my selection profiles selecting only the drivers for each computer.
This all started after I added the latest Lenovo laptop with the Haswell processors.
I will keep looking.
Thanks -

Inconsistent DISM.EXE error when applying unattend.xml during LTI deployment - Possible bug!
I've been using MDT 2012 and 2012 update 1 with ADK for Windows 8 successfully for years. This week I decided to uninstall those tools, and install ADK for Windows 8.1 and MDT 2013. I'm running Windows 7 x64. Instead of upgrading the current
deployment share, I created a new share to start fresh.
So, I created a new share, added Windows 7 OS, and created a client deployment task sequence. I modified the unattended.xml to enable telnet client and disable media center. No drivers, no applications, and no packages for this test. Stock, unmodified
task sequence.
Problem:
It works as expected sometimes. But, about 50% of the time, I get this error:

Please help!To be honest, I've never tried to modify the installer packages via unattend.xml. And come to think of it, it appears that the /applyunattend switch may not understand how to install packages (might not know where the sxs folder is located ). What
is confusing to me is how it *does* work 50% of the time.
did you import the *full* sources or just the *.wim file?
Here is a post in the configmgr group which suggests to perform the package management *online*
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/42eb50b6-7059-431c-ae84-2e5753507a90/unattendxml-and-microsoftwindowsfoundationpackage
Keith Garner - keithga.wordpress.com
Thanks for the reply Keith.
I imported the full source, and I'm also not sure why it is not consistent with failure or success either.
To narrow down the problem, I created a reproducible set of steps (for a possible future call to Microsoft support). Those steps are described in this
thread. When following the steps in the thread, the problem appeared every time. I only tried it 6, or so, times though.
The enabling/disabling of features via the unattend.xml is a supported and documented feature. In fact, following the hyperlink in the solution of the thread you mentioned documents the process.

ERROR - NetFx3 role processing with DISM.exe failed, rc = -2146498529
I am deploying Windows 8.1 x64 with update using MDT 2013 and everything works perfectly until the Apply Patches is changed from "Nothing" to my "Windows 8.1 x64 Updates" profile (which contains all the offline updates) is there a particular
patch I should be looking for to eliminate? If I change it back to "Nothing" .NET 3.5 installs fine.
ChrisYou should have something in your bdd.log. If you're in WinPE, it's on your OSDisk under MININT.
Also, I've seen a lot of people recommend not patching through the package functionality. Depending on the patch, stuff like that I usually let Windows Update handle that through our WSUS. The specific feature you're trying to install is a pain in
the *** though. I came up with a workaround for this when building out my Windows 8.1 image. Instead of trying to patch the .NET 3.5 install, I created an application with the command line -
Dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:"Y:\Operating Systems\Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64\sources\sxs" /limitaccess
Your drive letter here will either be Z: if you have no network logging, or Y: if you have network logging enabled.
All this is doing is pointing back to DS Windows 8.1 SXS directory so the install has it's source directory. I'm not sure why they went with this method, and it's also extremely annoying in a Windows Recovery/Reset scenario as this install resides
in an area that will not be captured in the recovery image. Hope this helps.

</unattend>
When the client starts instead of going in automatic screen appears windows where I am asked to choose which operating system to install.
What is wrong?
Please, DON'T GIVE ME LINKS, BUT THE SOLUTIONS on how to fix it
Thank you in advance.There seems to be some confusion here. What you have posted is a customized unattend.xml file used in WDS deployments, however most MDT deployments won't use these highly customized unattend.xml files, instead using it's own unattend.xml template files.
FOr example when choosing the SKU type, WDS will allow you to select the type from the unattend.xml file <InstallTo> element above.
In MDT, however, the SKU Index is chosen and applied manually through a dism.exe /apply image.
And although your unattend.xml file is interesting, I can't tell what the problem is just by looking at it.
If you are still having problems, best thing is to start looking through panther logs to see where the OS got confused looking for the image source.
Check out my help file:

ComputerName in Unattend.xml ignored by Windows 10 Technical Preview [all builds]
Since I was not successful in creating an Unattend.xml with
Windows 10 Technical Preview ADK I modified the one from Windows 8.1. This works with exception of
<ComputerName>MYW10PCNAME</ComputerName>
I do get an auto-generated PC name instead.
The process is, that the Unattend.xml is copied into Panther folder after image build incl. sysprep.
Can someone post an Unattend.xml that is working for Windows 10 Technical Preview?
I will try to post this in feedback app.Hi,
It seems like there is a problem with Windows 10 deployment. Firstly, please post this phenomenon to Windows Feedback.
In my opinion, it is probably Windows 10 itself problem, I would make a deep research with this problem, hoping there is some progress.
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help, and unmark the answers if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Support, contact [email protected] -

When i try to open an unattend.xml for a x64-image no problem! -
Device Fails Task Sequence at the Windows Setup Unattend Step, but No Unattend.xml is Specified
This is the first time i have encountered a laptop straight from OEM with two physical SATA disks (Disk 0 = 256gb SSD, disk 1 = 750GB HDD). [this might not be relevant, but as all other machines are working fine with this TS+WIM, i will mention it.]
During the task sequence, after the WIM is applied and the device reboots, the Windows setup fails and displays a general Unattend error (stating the specialized pass has failed) There is no unattend.xml specified in the apply operating system image step,
so the only unattend.xml is the one generated by the task sequence.
When looking at the C:\Windows\Panther\Unattend\Unattend.xml everything seems OK to me.

OSD: unattend.xml in capture conflicts with unattend in deploy?
Hi,
We need to remove some Windows components in our capture, so we created a small unattend.xml for it.
Now we deploy this capture and apply an xml which contains totally other settings but it fails.
Please advise what best practises is: only 1 unattend.xml in deploy? Then components are installed which we don't want (like Media Center), if we use the unattend.xml in capture only, we lose flexibility: each change we need to capture the image again.
J.
Jan HoedtIf you want to remove Windows features, you could just use DISM:
In WinPE phase, after Apply Operating System Image Step
Add run command line step
Commandline: cmd.exe /c dism.exe /image:%OSDTargetDrive%\ /disable-feature /featurename:MediaCenter /scratchdir:%OSDTargetDrive%\Windows\Temp /norestart
Just make sure that you use %OSDTargetDrive% -variable in your Partition Disk 0 and Apply Operating System Image -steps. -
Capture image with .wim and unattend.xml?
Hi,
We captured an image with the default wim of windows 7 + an unattend.xml. Now it seems this unattend.xml was not correctly applied (media center was removed but is still there, some components were installed
but are not etc). Question: when capturing an image, you CAN use a default .wim right? Or should you use “apply operating system from original installation source” to have it applied correctly?
Our problem is that our original task sequence had to many Windows updates and crashed. That’s why we are using offline updates which we include in the capture task sequence.
If we would need to use the "apply operating system from original ..." then we'd need to:
1.capture without updates
2.import this wim into sccm
3.offline update this wim
4.use this for capture WITH updates
Please advise. J.
Jan HoedtHave you tried making a package of your unattended.xml and pointing to it in your Apply Operating system step?
If I remember correctly SCCM will make it's own unattended.xml even if one exists in the wim file, using the package of the unattended.xml that you have already created will make it use that one. Looks something like this in the task sequence with the highlighted
yellow parts filled out by your package of the unattended.xml: -
Localize Windows 8.1 with unattend.xml
Greetings,
I am using mdt 2013 with sccm 2012 R2 to deploy windows 8.1. I wish to localize it to en-AU.
I have created a package with the unattend.xml file and specified that file in my "apply operating system image" task sequence step. I used windows SIM to add the "international-core" to my answer file and specified InputLocale,
SystemLocale, UILanguage and UserLocale as en-AU.
When I deploy this task sequence it ignores my settings and installs the default en-US.
Exactly how does one localize a Windows 8.1 installation using the unattend file?
Thanks
David ZI have these settings in my customsettings.ini
UserLocale=en-AU
SystemLocale=en-AU
KeyboardLocale=0c09:00000409
UILanguage=en-AU
GeoID=12
and I have the gather step specifying that file and it still doesnt apply. Im still getting english(US)

WDS unattend.xml shutdown the system after installing the image instead of reboot.
I have a large number of machines that I want to install Windows 7 by using WDS unattend.xml.
unattend.xml works absolutely fine but I want WINPE to shutdown the system at the end of image installation and before OOBE.
Could you please let me know, how can I automate this process, so Winpe shutdown instead of rebooting after image deployment and before oobe.
Do I have to put this command x:\windows\system32\wpeutil.exe shutdown somewhere in unattend.xml or elsewhere else.
I would appreciate if you could please answer this question.
Here my unattend.xml it works fine, but reboots the system instead of shutdown.

WinPE does not even start with above mentioend wpeutil.exe shutdown command, it throws an error and reboots.
I would really appreciate if someone can help me figure it out, how can I auto shutdown the system instead of reboot after WDS / WINPE installs the image.
Thanks in advance1. When the error message appears, open up a command window with SHIFT + F11
2. open the REGEDIT
3. navigate to hklm\system\setup
4. change CmdLine to blank (no value entered) (was oobe\windeploy.exe)
5. change CreateNewQueueOnFirstBoot to 0 (was 1)
6. change OOBEInProgress to 0 (was 1) (i am guessing that might be AUDITInProgress
if that was your sysprep choice)
7. change SetupPhase to 0 (was 4)
8. change SetupShutdownRequired to 0 (was 1)
9. change SetupType to 0 (was 2)
10. change SystemSetupInProgress to 0 (was1)
11. exit REGEDIT and reboot -
Unattend.xml parsing/merging issue with SCVMM 2012 R2
Hi all
I have a problem with a new install of SCVMM 2012 R2. I have created templates for 2008 R2, 2012 and 2012 R2. I have an issue with the unattend.xml losing some of its configuration when the 2012 and 2012 R2 templates are built, this issue however doesn't
occur on a 2008 R2 template build.
I have generated unattend.xml files for all 3 OS's using System Image Manager in the latest AIK using the original install.wim from each OS media.
In the unattend.xml file I have specified language settings, and a few other bits but the issue I have is when I configure autologon with local admin and password. I specify a logon count of 1, I also specify a GUIRunOnce command in SCVMM and not the answerfile.
The problem is the resulting merged unattend.xml has a logon count of 999 and no GUIRunOnce command. I have tried different variations where I specify GUIRunOnce in the xml and not SCVMM, applying the autologon to the Template or Guest OS profile and
all end with the resulting xml with logon count of 999 and no GUIRunOnce. If I remove the autologon part then GUIRunOnce gets parsed and works correctly.
As mentioned this only happens with Server 2012 and 2012 R2, 2008 R2 works correctly.
Any ideas?Hi Kevin
I am struggling with the same thing during bare metal installs of Hyper-V hosts. In my case I have managed to narrow it down to the language settings in the oobe pass. If I include them, parsing of the unattend file halts (without an explicit error anywhere)
and the host fails to join the domain. Could you try to leave out the language settings in oobe pass and see if it then completes as expected? Would be interesting to see if it actually is the same issue with a slightly different flavour :)
EDIT: Got a bit further now with the new release of WS2012 R2. All the testing I've done has been with the 05182 build. Stumbled across KB2913316 which stated that a new build (31419) was released december 11th. Allthough the KB does not directly apply to our
issue I thought I'd give it a go, so I went about building a new vhdx-image. Low and behold - the first test went smoothly applying all the settings in the unattend file! I'm going to continue testing to make sure the successful run wasn't just a fluke. -
Deploying Windows 7 Via WDS using Unattend.xml Answer File
I have been trying to transition over to using WDS for my main method of Windows 7 image deployment in our Server 2008 R2 domain environment. I am having trouble with getting the answer file to work properly. I have read through multiple threads, posts, and guides including the guide on this site:
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/286053-system-preparation-tool-use-customize-windows.html
And I have been making progress. As of now I have two answer files, as described in this guide:
http://blog.augustoalvarez.com.ar/2010/04/21/deploying-windows-7-using-windows-deployment-services-wds-step-by-step-part-ii/
One is used to tell WinPE which image to install, and the other is used to answer the questions after the image push is complete. My answer files are as follows:

Now, what happens is - the image installs on the client successfully, I am not prompted for any input during the installation, it is fully automated. Windows boots successfully after installation, and I can log in with the "adminaccount" that was included in the image. The OS IS activated. The computer IS joined to the domain, however the computer is named: DomainUser1. I deleted the computer account in AD, I pushed it again and it named the computer to: DomainUser2. I'm not sure why the computer is being named the name of the domain user. Originally I had put in TestComputer for the computer name in the answer file, but it still had named it DomainUser1, so I took the TestComputer out of the answer file, thinking it would prompt me for a name, but instead it named it DomainUser2. This is one issue.
The second issue is, after the first log in, the "Set Network Location" box pops up. Is there a way to avoid this so the user is not asked this?
Third, I need the user that's created during the process to be disabled after it's created since I already have an administrator account included in the image. However the OOBE needs to have a user created, so I just had it create one.
Any and all help is appreciated.Hi,
For your first question, based on my knowledge, if ComputerName is missing, you must enter a computer name during OOBE.
I suggest you write an empty string in Computer Name to check if can get a random computer name. If ComputerName is set to an asterisk (*) or is an empty string, a random computer name will be generated. This random name has at most eight
characters from the RegisteredOwner and/or RegisteredOrganization strings plus random characters.
The second one, if you want to disable set network location wizard, you may try to add a command in Run Synchronous Command
setting, just like this command:
CommandLine = REG ADD “HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\NewNetworkWindowOff”
This is for your reference:
Turn off the Network Location wizard

for the last question, based on my knowledge, the sysprep tool will disable the built-in administrator but not clear the password. So you can enable it in your answer file to check how it works.
If there is still some errors in process, you can upload the specialize process log to check the process error:
%windir%\panther
