MDT 2012- Can no longer deploy images: Unattend Answer file-for pass specialize....

Hello again.
I've got a recently captured Win7 Pro x64 image (successfully captured) via MDT 2012. It has baked in: IE11 and Office 2013 /sp1 and a few misc small prg's, like CCleaner and MWB for example.
I created a new TS to deploy it and ONLY unchecked the "Apply local GPO".. and just before it completes, I'm greeted with the following error: (Hope I can link)- if not: It's the "WIndows could not parse... c win\panther\unattend..for pass
[specialize] error....
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/Marginjoey/ParseError_zps2d9d2105.jpg
I know I caused this. When my original image wouldn't capture with IE 11, I was advised that IE 11 was likely the issue (and maybe still is?) So, I believe my issue still sits in this possibly ill-advised change I made ..
Edited the UNATTEND.XML.. under ‘Specialize’, ‘amd64..ie-InternetExplorer_neutral’, then went into ‘IE WELCOME MESSAGE’ and Right-clicked to uncheck ‘Write Image Value’, then altered TRUE to FALSE on the same line. Even though I’ve been back to the default
settings more than once (and right now, back to default) I continue to have this PARSE/Specialize error. All of my settings files are default at the moment. I was using the SKIPPBDD-WELCOME for a bit, but it didn't help, so I removed it.
So, even though I'm back to default in this SPECIALIZE step, is there something else I can do to get around this? Time is of the essence like never before. (Frankly, I'm losing it.. I've been imaging/capturing/ and deploying numbering easily in the
30's and 40's...

More info:
What just happened: I went into my DS$, and into my newest DEPLOY MARCH5 TS, and checked the UNATTEND.XML, did it take so long to open? Did it just create a new one? Is it based off the settings I chose in the TS? Is it a NEW default
copy?
Please help Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope. ;)

Getting "Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize]" with IE10 integration? Read this...

Hey guys,
I just discovered an issue with using MDT to integrate Internet Explorer 10 into Windows 7 & 2008 R2 image files. Building the images was no problem at all, but when I tried to deploy them it would bomb with this error every time:
"Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize]."
So a very annoying and cryptic error to say the least. Obviously the issue was with the unattend.xml file that gets auto-generated by MDT, but all the items under "specialize" had worked just fine when I built the image and the IE version
was the only item that had changed. After comparing the Windows 7 & Server 2008 R2 unattend.xml files to my Windows 8 & Server 2012 unattend.xml files (because they have IE 10 native) I discovered that the following flag was missing
from the Windows 8 & Server 2012 unattend.xml files:
<IEWelcomeMsg>false</IEWelcomeMsg>
So I simply commented it out like so:
Re-ran my test deployment and viola, 100% successful with zero errors. I was a little embarrassed/annoyed that this took me so long to track down, then I realized others might be struggling with this too so thought I'd share.
Hope my time spent saves someone else some grief!

I know the last reply was from a couple weeks ago, but honestly, I haven't been able to find anything else in the last week of searching Google. I'm new to the MDT process but I'm having the same issue with what you posted. I can shift-F10 during the "Applying
system settings" and open my unattend.xml file and remove the IEWelcomeMsg line and the image deploys perfectly, so I know that's my problem. I can't figure out where that line is coming from. I have edited every unattend.xml file in the Templates folder under
MDT and also the one in my deployment task sequence, but somewhere during that deployment, that one setting gets added back to the unattend file and nukes the whole image. I'm about to pull my hair out. I'm implementing MDT to save time but I feel like the
last couple of weeks trying to get it to work have been a waste. I have thought about backing my reference image back to IE9, but having to deploy IE10 post image seems like it's an unnecessary burden. Any help would be appreciated.

Windows Could Not parse or process unattend answer file for pass [specialize] after WDT Litetouch 'sysprep and capture'

I setup an ACER VM6620G (Win7x86) how I wanted, including disabling the administrator account and creating an administrator user "PVA"
Navigated to \\wds\DeploymentShare$\Scripts and ran the litetouch script. Chose my "Sysprep and Capture" task.
Everything went off without a hitch until I restarted the technician pc.
I got the dreaded
"Windows could not parse or process unattend answer file [C:\windows\Panther\unattend.xml] for pass [specialize]. A component or setting specified in the answer file does not exist"
I tried to deploy the captured image to the same computer and got the same error
I've scoured the internet for solutions (Shift+10 opens command prompt. Good to know!) with no luck.
I've saved the unattend.xml and looked for errors- going as far as to install an x86 Win7 virtual machine to validate the unattend.xml file in WISM
Other information that might be useful:
I never used WISM to create an unattend.xml nor did I attach one to the image.
I didn't try to copy user profiles/settings/migrate etc
I imported the captured image to WDT. Created a standard task and added 2 nodes
-Inject Drivers
-Install Application
As a side, I've got another image that I've already injected the drivers/installed the application as a test. Everything went smoothly.

Windows could not parse or process unattend answer file (c:windows\panther\unattend.xml). Error message during setup.

I'm having an issue, with Windows 8.1 sysprep WIM, when applying the image and don't know what to do.
I am using the Windows 8.1 WADK/Windows Kits for Windows 8.1. Using the Image Manager for creating my answer file, using deployment/imaging tool for creating and editing my images, and using the same Windows 8.1 DVD media for my catalog as in my WIM. No MDT
involvement.
Using WinPE to clean and partition my disk and to apply the image.
I have done the best research I'm able to do at the moment and for this issue it all comes back to removing/editing the "IEWelcomeMsg" line.
I have left at false and removed the line as all have mentioned, however I'm still getting the error "windows setup: windows could not parse or process unattend answer file (c:windows\panther\unattend.xml). A component or setting specified in the answer
file does not exist".
Is there something I missed? From what I can tell for now, nope.
Any help to enlighten what might have been over looked would be beneficial.

Hi JFrederick,
Please try what Tripredacus suggested first.
For the error message, we have a similar thread for reference:
Windows
Could Not parse or process unattend answer file for pass [specialize]
The cause might be different, you may refer to the others who offered suggestions in the above thread.

Windows 8.1 having same issue: Windows could not parse or process unattend answer file (C:\Windows\Panther\unattend.xml) for pass [specialize]. A component or setting specified in the answer file does not exist.

I know there are similar other issues with IE 10 and Windows 7. This is WINDOWS 8.1, and the IE Welcome message is totally absent from the default unattend.xml in the c:\windows\panther directory. In fact, I did a sysprep without using any injected
unattend.xml - this is the Microsoft Default!
So I suspect this will start appearing all over again soon. Anyone figure out what was causing it?
Here is the new Specialize section from the xml:

I'm thinking of dumping the entire IE section and see what happens.

I too received this error as I tried to run my first Windows 8.1 deployment. Per another post I commented out this line
<IEWelcomeMsg>false</IEWelcomeMsg>
from the IE section of the unattend.xml. I was then able to run my deployment. I do not see this line in your posting though.
I referenced this link even though it was for Windows 7.

Hope this helps someone.

To clarify, I edited the unattend.xml file from from Deployment Share, not C:\Windows\Panther.

I can no longer drag images

I can no longer drag images in photo or in apps. Any ideas please?

In photo and the Procreate app I was able to drag images to organise them. Suddenly I am no longer able to do this. The users guide says this is possible and although it is not a major problem it is annoying nonetheless. Is there a solution? Thanks

Hi Rachel,
Have you tried reinstalling Microsoft Word? Have you tried reinstalling Office? Have you run any updates recently for Microsoft Office? There was one that came out this week. You may wish to ask this question over at the Microsoft Word forums, there's a good chance you'll get a better answer as well. This forum is primarily designed for the MacBook Air hardware and interoperability with OS X on a MacBook Air.

Suddenly I can no longer sort JPG and RAW files together by capture date. I have two Canon SLR's shooting in RAW and one Canon point an shoot shooting in JPG and want to collate the photos in LR4, which I was able to do up to now. I cannot find out what I did to make this happen or correct it in LR preferences. Any solutions?

How do I drag an image or text box to the "workspace" off of my working file but where I can still see the image and text box for future use?

How do I drag an image or text box to the "workspace" off of my working file but where I can still see the image and text box for future use?
When I drag the item off of the trifold that I am creating, it just disappears but I still want to use it. I just need to move it out of the way to modify other portions of the document.
thanks,

I can know longer get to my office files. I am running on a MAC

I can no longer get to my office files and email system

Hmm, sorry, I don't know anything about Inside GGP. But from that website it looks like there is some software you have to install on your computer. The "install" link won't load for me so I can't try it out, but it may be that whatever software it is, needs to be installed again. Or it may be incompatible with Firefox 4, if it was an extension written for Firefox 3 and the extension hasn't been updated yet.
You'll probably have the best luck talking to your office network administrator about the problem. Sorry that I wasn't able to be more helpful than that.
Good luck!

So how to specify different answer file for different install images in WDS snap-in?

hello
in WDS snap-in, in properties on server name, on client tab, we can define an answer file for unattended windows installation on WDS clients.
my question is, maybe we have added multiple images in WDS snap-in (win xp image, win 7 , win 2008,...)
now this one answer file applies to all of them ?
so how to specify different answer file for different install images in WDS snap-in?
thanks in advanced

Under the "Client" tab of WDS, you should only use an answer-file with settings relevant for the installation. This would be credentials for the WDS deployment share, international settings used during the setup and possibly also destination drive
details (if you want the installation to take care of partitioning the disk etc). The settings relevant for unattend-files used under "Client" would only be of those in phase 1 (WinPE).
However, if you would like to have specific unattend file for every installation, e.g. Win7, Server 2008, Win 8 etc, you can browse to the image under "Install Images" under the image Groups. There you can select properties for every image and
have a personal unattend-file.
hi Joel
very cool. thanks a lot, that really helped me.

Unattended Answer File

Hi There
I know that a few others have posted a similar question but a lot of the answer go far over my head. Here's my personal situation
I have a version of home premium that I downloaded as a student from microsoft a few months ago, and burned my copy of windows 7 onto a dvd. Before that I had windows xp ultimate so I had a clean install I think. Anyways, I'm getting a terrible
virus now that keeps opening up IE and plays random virus files like 5kjfwq35.exe so I want to reinstall windows. (It's blocked access to everything like being able to use windows defender and run updates so i mention the virus in case it has to do with anything)
I have a tried a few times now to go through advance recovery with my burnt dvd copy in the computer, but i get the
"Unattended Answer File Contains Invalid Producti Key". How do I get rid of this? What does it mean?

Hi,
As I know, the student versions are upgrade versions of Windows 7.The upgrade Windows 7 needs to verify that the previous operating system is valid. Thue please re-install and
active Windows XP, then perform an upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 again.
References:
Error: The unattended answer file contains an invalid
product key. Either remove the invalid key or provide a valid product key in the unattend answer file to proceed with Windows installation
The Unattended answer file contains and invalid product
key
