Microsoft Surface Windows 8.1 Sysprep and Capture
SO I have a peculiar issue. I am trying to Sysprep and Capture and MS Surface Running Windows 8.1 (Pro or Enterprise). I am able to DEPLOY images but I am unable to capture. The problem is I get no errors. I select the task sequence and it starts running
and then it gets to the configure phase and the next phase is Copy Sysprep Files. It appears to be skipping that, but it jumps right to the end and then says, Completed successfully and there are zero errors. Clearly it didn't do anything, but I don't know
how to trouble shoot it with no errors.
Any ideas? Thanks
From another TechNet post -
[Settings]

BackupDir=Captures
Where [Default] would have your domain join information and [MyTaskID] is your TSID for your capture sequence. Then when you select the capture sequence, it will instead select the non domain join option and capture your image. Good luck.

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.

Administrator Account Disabled after sysprep and capture task sequence in MDT 2010
Hi
We are currently migrating from Windows XP to windows 7. As part of our migration we have 5 base Images (for different areas of the business)
Here is what we are doing:
Create a reference machine with the source files for windows 7 Pro x86
Install applications as part of the Task sequence to build a reference machine.
Make the updates to the machine - required for the build.
Run the Sysprep and capture template to take the capture of the Reference machine.
Import the Capture into the Operating system folder within MDT2010
Create a task sequecne to deploy the image.
Deploy the Image for Testing.
Deploy the image to a machine
Update the machine with the defects
Re Capture the deployed machine and call it ver2.wim
re deploy ver2.wim
Testers test
Defects logged + additional user settings to be captured in the build
Re capture and sysprep runs says the capture has been succesful however after a reboot the administrator account is disabled.
We cant seem to capture anything from here on in. Nothing has been changed in the unattend.
Autologon is set to enable the administrator account and the password is set to blank as this is then handled by policy when the machine is joined to the domain - we have not enabled the unattended join to the domain at this point in time but it will be
for deploying the image.
Have we got our image strategy wrong? does the same rule apply about sysprep running more than 3 times on a single machine if it is captured and redeployed after a sucessfully sysprep to the same hardware or even different hardware.Hi,
One of the things Sysprep/WAIK do is disable the adminsitrator account.
You mentioned that you are setting the autologing to the administrator account and that you are setting it with a blank password, you can add a simple command in to sysprep's xml to reenable the account:

Give it a try and let us know .

Hi Marianok,
Thanks for your response and taking the time to read the topic we have raised. We believe we already have this step in place but perhaps we have it in the wrong area of the unattend.

Winsows 8.1 Pro Sysprep and Capture
I've been using MDT for a few years now and seem to got Windows 7 deployments down. I created my first 8.1 Sysprep and Capture TS and am running into an issue. It seems to be failing at the Win PE step before sysprep. I have made sure my DS is updated, CS.ini
is correct as far as I know, MDT 2013 with 8.1 ADK... I sysprepped and captured my Win 7 images fine. This is my first Win 8.1 GM image. Is there something obvious I am missing?

Sounds like the problem occurs because the LTIApply.wsf script fails to check for the existence of the boot folder on the system partition before the script runs the
takeown.exe command to change ownership on the folder. The
takeown.exe command fails with a "Not Found" error if the boot folder doesn't exist. This causes the Sysprep and Capture task sequence to fail.
Is your MDT 2013 a fresh install or a upgrade from MDT 2012 U1? -
Sysprep and Capture Task Sequence Fails "Can not find script file C:\LTIBootstrap.vbs"
I've just installed Windows 8 on a Lenovo ThinkPad T440s using Lenovo's recovery discs. I did not join it to a domain. I logged in as Administrator, navigated to our deployment share, and ran Scripts\LiteTouch.wsf. I selected the new Sysprep and Capture
Task Sequence that I just made, told it to upload to DeploymentShare$\Captures, then started the Task Sequence.
It seemed to run fine until after the first reboot. Windows 8 configured the PC for a while, then displayed an error that it had been shut down unexpectedly. I wasn't sure if this was normal, so I just clicked OK. Then I got an error that said "Can
not find script file C:\LTIBootstrap.vbs". After clicking OK on that, I am brought to the desktop.
The image cannot be found in DeploymentShare$\Captures. Under the Monitoring section of the DeploymentWorkbench, I can see that MDT thinks the Task Sequence is still running on the machine (though it is not), with progress stuck on step 16 of 23: Execute
Sysprep. There are 0 errors and 0 warnings listed.
BDD.log is too long to post all of it, but here's the last few lines in case that's helpful.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance determining what went wrong and how to correct it. Thank you.You might get teh c:\LTIBootStrap.vbs error if you are running SysPrep with a unattend.xml template that contains the c:\bootstrap.vbs template, yet you are *NOT* deploying the image with MDT Litetouch, instead just applying the image to the final machine.
Crack open your install.wim file and search for the unattend.xml file in the normal places to see what it is.
I am concerned about the "shut down unexpectedly" error. There should be no shutdown state information left from a captured *.wim file.
If you still need assistance, please feel free to copy the bdd.log file to a public site like OneDrive, and share the link.

Using the default Sysprep and Capture template fails on reboot with BOD UNMOUTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
On a 2012 r2 server with MDT 2012 I am using the default template to capture a Win 8.1 64 bit master image to deploy to 60 Dell e7440 laptops. When I start the cscript litetouch.wsf thru command prompt, the litetouch wizards starts sysprep starts to
work and when it goes to reboot BOD UNMOUTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME.
The only way around the BOD is to PXE boot to the deployment server and LiteTouch continues to create WIM but fails. Click finish and the laptop boots as if it was the first time so sysprep worked.
Any help is appreciated.Here is the process prior to rebooting.

Windows 7 64bit Build and Capture Task Sequence keeps failing. Need to Offline Patch
Hi All,
I have been having problems running my SCCM 2007 R3 Build and Capture Task Sequence for Windows 7 64bit since MS released the October 2014 patches. (Having problems described in KB2894518, but can't get workaround to work)
So my next step is to try to apply the patches directly to the install.wim file using dism and "Offline Servicing". I'm hoping this will allow my TS to finish, and also adds the benifit of making my TS much faster to run every month. So I followed
the steps in
this post, and injected 165 updates into the install.wim file (extracted from Win7 ISO). Now, I've copied the updated WIM into my Operating System install package and updated the distribution point. But the Install Software Updates step still installs 160
updates (same as before the Offline patch injection). The only thing that seems faster is that the download of the updates is instantaneous. So it seems like the Offline patch injection just copied the patch installer files to the WIM, but did not actually
install them.
I remember reading a post by Niall C. Brady or Jason Sandys about exactly how they inject patches into a WIM, but have been unable to re-locate the post. Does anybody out there have a tried and true method for offline injection of patches into install.wim
for use with SCCM Build and Capture task sequence? thanks!My recommendation would be to use MDT to build your images instead:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn744290.aspx
This will make your life much easier with the patching of the image :)
You can use Nickolaj's great MDT Factory tool to set up an MDT Build machine from scratch:

Windows 8.1 Deploy and Capture stops with no error
I have a standard deploy and capture TS for Windows 8.1 using the volume media 'install.wim' file.
The only modification I have made is to add a few applications into the TS.
Once started from WinPE, the TS goes smoothly, deploying the OS and the applications. It then restarts and just goes to the login prompt. The TS doesn't continue as expected, rebooting to WinPE and running the capture.
I've checked the smsts.log file and I cant see any obvious errors or anything that could cause this behaviour. The only warning I can see is 'Active reqeust handle is empty, registering with new active request handle' though I'm not sure if this is even
related.
So the process I see is:
Boot to PXE WinPE
Select build and capture TS for windows 8.1
Install OS
Install Apps
Restart
Login screen
Anyone have any ideas?

[MDT] Sysprep and capture, and OOBE
Hi my friends, I'm experiencing a little issue.
I want to deploy custom images with OOBE. In other terms, when a client boot his computer for the first time, I want Welcome window display, and ask for account name, etc.
But now, when I boot client computer, it auto-signs in to an administrator session and finish MDT deployment. Please help me understand.
Let's me explain how i proceed. First, I installed with an iso file my Windows, and when I get welcome windows, I enter in audit mode to add some programs etc. Then I launched my \\ServerMDT\DeploymentShare$\Scripts\LiteTouch.vbs to start Sysprep.
It reboots, and I am able to boot PXE and start capturing. Works like a charm. Now I upload my captured image in another DeploymentShare using a Standard Client Task Sequence to deploy my captured image. I updated my new DeploymentShare, etc.
The deployment looks to work great. But when it reboots, it signs in without asking for password or else, and finalize deployment. My programs are here, it is OK. But I haven't my OOBE.
What I misunderstood ? Help me guys...OK. I finally achieve this after two long days. For those who will be interested, this is my little how to.

Sysprep and Capture TS problems
I am trying to capture the image of a reference machine I have in VirtualBox. I am working in MDT 2012. The first pass on this I initiated the process from the CMD window starting the LiteTouch.wsf from in the scripts folder. This worked to a point, sysprep
worked, the VM was rebooted but this failed (VirtualBox Manager failure). I restarted the VM and the PE started and got to creating WIM and a very slow agonizing window showing the percent done. It got to 6% and stopped. I did see the WIM file getting built
but it only got to about 1.3GB. Next I tried the same VM, after recreating from a backup, and this time tried booting from a LiteTouch CD as I read is preferred in MDT2012. This failed at Sysprep. Below is the failure report.Are you using a slow network connection to capture the image? You should have the VM configured for GigaBit between the VM and your MDT Server.
I have had problems with MDT re-running and getting confused when the target *.wim file already exists. Try deleting from the host if you have problems.
IF you still have problems, please post the bdd.log and smsts.log file to a public site like onedrive, and copy the link here.

ADK 8.1 Update 1 breaks sysprep and capture
I have three different MDT-installations providing me with one fully automated ref.image i then use in two different systems depending if the computer is in school or in other community service.
i recently updated the ADK to the one released just a few days ago (http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=39982) and now my ref.image capture process is broken. the capture will not
happen and i get this error message:
Error creating an image of drive C:, rc = 1
ZTI ERROR - Non-zero return code by ZTIBackuo, rc = 1
Litetouch deployment failed, Return Code = -2147467259 0x80004005

Task Sequence Engine failed! Code: enExecutionFail
Task Sequence execution failed with error code 80004005
Error Task Sequence Manager failed to execute task sequence. COde 0x80004005
i also have this issue in one of the other installations which also is used to provide our computer supplier with a correct WIM-file.
so, i did what most people would do i guess... i reinstalled the older version of ADK and now i got it working in both my enviroments used to create WIM-files...
how can i provide information in order to solve this issue?
i would guess i rather have the new ADK installed instead of the old one, but the new one is not working properly.If you are still having problems, please upload your bdd.log and smsts.log files to a public site like OneDrive and share the link here.

SOLVED!!! - MDT 2013/Windows 8.1 Sysprep & Capture Fails
I'm running a basic Client Task Sequence that installs the OS, installs a few applications/drivers and then should Sysprep and Capture the image. Everything works fine until after the Sysprep. The machine reboots but does not reboot into the
PE environment. Instead it reboots to the local disc and the machine runs the initial OOBE setup.
My BDD.log file can be found @
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14521312/BDD.log
I see what look like some BCDEdit errors being returned but I'm not sure what they mean.
If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. I have to get 30 machines out yesterday.
EDIT: REPLACED BDD.LOGLets try a disk format first.. I still use the old Win98 fdisk utility :)
Wipe all drives clean and then re-run it...
I will do that but is that not already happening at this stage of the Task Sequence?

Missing Log and Capture window
Firstly, let me say....I'm new to Macs, go easy on me if this is an obvious question.
I'm trying to import some P2 files from a HVX200 but when I click on the Log and Capture option in the menu, I have no Log and Capture window.
In the list in the Window menu it is listed there. Clicking on it seems to do nothing. Is it possible that the window is somehow out of the viewing range of my monitor or something ? If so, how do I restore it ?
Thanks in advanceI haven't used FCP 6 before, but I've seen some tutorials on it, and if I remember correctly, the place you import HD footage is in the "Log and Transfer" window, not the log and capture one. However, log and capture usually just comes up the second you click it in the menu, so that's odd. Maybe it's hiding behind one of your windows haha. --David
