Windows 7 becoming corrupt after "Setup Windows and ConfigMgr" step

Hey all,
Redid my reference images and now I got an issue with several machines I tried doing bare metal OSD on. 
The TS aborts somehow, it still thinks it's running, after Setup Windows and ConfigMgr. After that step it reboots and I'm greeted with a weird Win 7 logon screen where the font kinda looks like Windings (the font folder on the machine is almost empty, that's
why).
Looked at the ccmsetup log. This error is listed: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ee4e31cd-d456-44f4-a980-6a785d393d84/ccmsetup-failed-with-error-code-0x80040154-in-ccmsetuplog?forum=configmanagerdeployment
The log also complains about BITS, too low version to be able to install ConfigMgr. But obviously Win 7 contains BITS v 4, so I don't get what happens.
None of the apps I install in the reference image build I'm able to start (IE 10, Office apps), Office is not even listed in Add/Remove Programs.
I have redone the reference images two times, once in plain MDT 2013 and once in SCCM. 
The error is inconsistent. It happens most frequently on Dell Precision T1700 machines, but not always. Sometimes there's no error when installing the ConfigMgr client and I don't get any font issues, but I still can't start Office apps or IE 10. This is driving
me mad.
ccmsetup.log and smsts.log files are here if anyone wants to take a look: http://1drv.ms/1ETazJx
Please help!

You may have a similar issue we had. When we upgraded to R2, and updated our boot images from WinPE 4.0 to WinPE 5.0 we came across a bug with DISM. Our machines would get to the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step and hang on a black screen/white cursor. After
working with Microsoft for a few weeks we found using a x64 boot image resolved our issue deploying Windows 7 x64. 
Can you try recreating your x86 boot image and if that does not work try creating x64?
Daniel Ratliff | http://www.PotentEngineer.com
For me, using a x64 boot image solved the problem. Why I don't know. I created a new x64 MDT boot image and task sequence and tested all newly captured wims on several different models, with different settings, and I couldn't reproduce the problem.
Then I tested the old task sequence (basically only difference is that it uses x86 boot image) and the first deployment went fine. The next one gave me the ccmsetup/windings font error again.
Thanks for your help! I'm also very eager to hear what Microsoft came up with during your support ticket.

  • Any active window becomes inactive after 10+ seconds.

    Any active window becomes inactive after 10+ seconds. This doesn't just affect the Finder. It makes it very difficult to type an email or post to this forum.
    No matter what window I select with the mouse, it will become deselected in a few seconds. I've ruled out the mouse and the keyboard. I don't know of any settings that would cause this. Can anyone offer a solution short of reinstalling the OS. I just finished installing my apps from receiving this computer at work on Friday.

    I just reinstalled the OS, as Archive Install with Preserve User settings checked, without running System Update to 10.5.1. All is well now. Though I haven't run all of the installed apps since reinstalling. Some of my apps are not Universal Binary (ex. QuarkXPress 6, MS Office 2004, Adobe ImageReady CS2), though that shouldn't be a problem. Right now I will be ignoring the 10.5.1 update.

  • OS X partition becomes corrupt after switching from Bootcamp

    So I've had to reinstall os x 10.9.1 no less than three  times this week and multiple times before in the past after switching between os x and windows 8.1. This usually happens after I've been using windows for a prolonged period then switch back to os x but it happened today after reinstalling os x from a time machine backup just yesterday. I'll switch between the two and os x becomes corrupt and begins the loading bar sequence after selecting the os x partition via the refit boot manager. I tried repairing the partition using disk utility from the repair partition and an external installation of os x 10.9.1 but every time the disk becomes corrupt and needs to be wiped and reinstalled or install a time machine backup. I've lost count of how many times I've had to do this and to make things even worse both of my external disks have become corrupt after being disconnected for two days while I sort this mess out. Does anyone else have similar issues or can locate an issue somewhere?

    Yeah I reinstalled osx 10.9.1 and installed all my apps, put everything back then used bootcamp to create a partition for windows then used wineclone to install my windows 8.1 backup. I jumped from windows > osx > windows > osx inside an hour to move around a few things and I forgot verify bootcamp after I installed the backup and that last time I booted to osx it was corrupted. I used disk utility from my external installation and the recovery partition and both times they need repaired which only came up with the backup and wipe notification window. There have been two occasions where I was able to fix the osx partition from my external osx installation and continue using osx quite perfectly but usually the partition becomes un-mountable after it fails to repair. Usually when this has happened the twenty something times before it's after a prolonged period of a few weeks using windows.
    I'm using refit boot manager and paragon NTFS 11 which may be the only software I've installed that could be corrupting the boot.

  • Task sequences won't run after "Setup Windows and ConfigMgr"

    In my Task Sequence for SCCM 2012 R2, no task sequences that occur after the "Setup Windows and Configuration Manager" step will run if I add to the Installation properties:
    PATCH="\\server.domain.com\D$\SMSPKGSIG\PHX00033.2\configmgr2012ac-r2-kb2905002-x64.msp"
    I believe this hotfix is necessary because I had to install on the server to fix the speed of downloading the WIM file. And I believe it says I need to append this PATH= switch to the install. 
    Is my path used incorrectly or something? Because that is the actual path to the file. 
    My task sequences will run fine if I remove it and just leave the SMSMP=server.domain.com in the install properties. 

    Your path would then be :
    PATCH="C:\_SMSTaskSequence\OSD\JJJ00033.2\configmgr2012ac-r2-kb2905002-x64.msp"
    I suggest that you plan for further patches. Create a directory with all your future hotfix in it.
    Ex: D:\SCCMHotFixes\KBNumber\x64
    Your "Patch" parameter will grow over time, when a new hotfix will be release, you'll need
    to add it after this one and so on...
    I always use the _SMSTSDataPath without any problem, you could also try this.
    PATCH=""%_SMSTSMDataPath%\OSD\JJJ00033.2\configmgr2012ac-r2-kb2905002-x64.msp"

  • Finder and application windows, become inactive after a few seconds

    I just finished restoring a G4 from a disk crash, installed new disk drive and a clean OS X 10.3.9. Than I restored the user's home directory and all end user applications. I am not exactly sure when I noticed this behavior, but I performed the basic troubleshooting steps below already :
    • Removed any third party System Control panel
    • AppleJack complete routine
    • Removed Finder plist
    • Switched to another user, with same result
    • Booted up in SAFE MODE, no change either
    • Reviewed system logs and other logs, and found no hint to his problem
    • Monitored Activity Viewer for unknown services running
    About every 15 seconds, the foremost window becomes grayed out/inactive. Clicking on it makes it active again, and if you start typing anything, it will not complete, due to the window going inactive again.
    I have researched the net, but found not similar issue reported.
    So if anyone can shed some light on this, short of re-installing the OS, it would make my long day or night by now.
    Thanks in advance.

    Will I lose my emails I have on there? I have numerous client email files and can't afford to lose any of them. I do have everything backed up but I'm fearful of losing important client info. What if something happened during the back up and it doesn't have my files?

  • Mavericks is corrupted after installing windows

    I installed windows 7 home premium a few days ago, like 2 i think, and then i downloaded a game aon the windows side and now i want to use mavericks again. I restart the mac and now mavericks keeps booting up with a loading bar and shutting down halfway. If i use disk utility, it says mac is corrupted. When i repair it, it cant repair it. I dont have a backup of mac because time machine never works, and i dont know how to use it. Any help? This is the second time its happened and i am not wiping the hard

    A Mid 2010 Macbook pro
    MacBook Pro 7,1
    i dont know much abot mac os x, so 2. Was a no. Never heard of it either
    i actually installed Final Fantasy XIII-2 and played it for half an hour before switching to mavericks, with mavericks working. Two things i think may have causd it would be either
    1. Holding down power button while mavericks was booting up a few times because i missed the alt key when booting
    2. Windows update?
    The only thing i did after the restart was install, then reinstall a windows 7 theme. Install xbox 360 controller for windows, a directX patch (installed before and mavericks worked so not directX) and a few more windows updates.
    sorry for any typos, a ipad mini isnt very fast.

  • JPG files become corrupt after Exporting in LR 3

    Does anyone have any idea what would cause
    my JPG files to be corrupt after I export my edited Raw images in LR3?  There are no problems with the Raw file, but once I edit them, apply what ever settings to them in LR I need, I export them as JPG to the same hard drive but in a sub folder where the raw files are, they will not open in photoshop or anywhere else. They are corrupt or lacking data????   When I upload them to my proofing website, there are colored streaks all through the image.  Now, I noticed that when I go into that folder of RAW images, and delete the .xmp files, I have to start over, but it fixes the problem.  So, now, I can't use .xmp sidecar files to save my editing. I'm fairly new to LR, so any suggestions would be great. I did recently upgrade my system to OS windows 7.  Everythign was fine till I had to reinstall everything on my computer...and I also changed hard drives. I upgraded to a Terabyte drive moving all my images from a 500G to the terabyte.  Could that cause my sidecar files to be corrupted?????
    Thank you!!!!!

    I doubt that the XMP files have anything to do with this, as Lightroom doesn't use these files when it creates an exported file.
    It sounds like your hardware may be the culprit; these types of corrupt files are often caused by a failing hard drive. Some corruption may have happened in the transfer from one hard drive to another; or the new hard drive has some sort of problem.
    Can you hook up the old hard drive again and see what happens to the photos there? Open one of them and compare it to the photo on the new hard drive.

  • Video app becomes corrupted after streaming iTunes purchases

    I wasn't sure what to use for a title here, but chose this because it captures much of what I am seeing.
    Hardware:
    3rd gen iPad, 32GB, iOS 7.0.4
    What I am doing:
    I purchase TV shows and movies from the iTunes store, but as we watch them while on the home Wifi network, there is no need to download the content to a device before viewing. Once a TV show or movie is purchased, it can be viewed in the Videos app as streaming content, much the same way that it does on Apple TV (which doesn't permanently store anything).
    Key observation: I usually make these purchases through the Videos app itself, rather than going explicitly to the iTunes Store app. I am not sure this makes a difference, but it may.
    What happens:
    It all works well for several weeks or months. Then 3 bad things happen:
    1) During this time I observe that the available space on the iPad steadily decreases (viewed through Settings -> General -> Usage). It starts with a value of approximately 12GB free space, and then declines, despite the fact that I am not storing any media files locally. After approximately 2 months, I now have 5GB free, and cannot account for the "missing" 7GB, not even close.
    While it is to be expected that any streaming device must temporarily store content, that content is usually cleared after viewing or after some predetermined time interval, etc. I do not expect this content to simply accumulate endlessly.
    2) Eventually, videos will fail to work properly. I will attempt to watch a purchased item, and it will run painfully slow, and may be missing audio. I check Usage, and my free space continues to decline. Subsequent attempts to view TV show and movies are now unreliable.
    Big clue: shows that do not work properly cannot be deleted or downloaded locally.
    3) The entire iPad becomes notably slower and less responsive running all of my usual apps (Pages, Numbers, Facebook, etc.)
    What I tried that was illuminating:
    I noted that under Settings -> General -> Usage, it shows the Video app as containing "No data". So, I tried downloading a different purchased video in order to guarantee that there is some data. While this video plays within the Video app, I observe that Usage still shows the Video app as having "No data", which is verifiably untrue.
    Conclusion: the database used by the Videos app is failing to purge old streamed content, becoming corrupted, and now failing to report data storage to iOS.
    What works:
    Sadly, the only cure for this problem is a complete erase/restore of the iPad from iCloud backup. When I do this, all of my "missing" storage returns, and videos work normally. The iPad performance returns to its usual snappy self. But the cycle repeats, and I must eventually go through the 3+ hour restore process again.
    This solution is 100% consistent with a corrupt database, and hence I suspect that the Video app is the culprit, consuming space until other systems are affected.
    Has anyone else seen this?

    I'm experiencing this exact issue on two devices:
    iPhone 4S 32GB
    iPad Air 64 GB
    Both while running iOS 7.03 and 7.04 (recently updated both devices to 7.04 hoping it would help. It didn't)
    My iPhone had become nearly unusable until I found your post. It had apparently accumulated >12 GB of "temporary streamed content", as after I did a backup/wipe/restore, I had recovered to around 12 GB free space.
    It's unfortunate that the fix requires a complete reset/restore cycle, as it's very time-consuming, but thanks for providing that fix! It saved my iPhone 4S. Now I can comfortable wait until the 6 comes out to get a new iPhone.
    Really, though, this seems like a critical bug for iOS devices. I'll certainly not stream any iTunes content until/unless this is fixed. I found that if I turn off "Show all Videos" in the Video App settings, it doesn't show the iTunes cloud content for streaming from within the App. This forces me into iTunes to do a full download if I want to watch something. Kind of a pain, but it beats a device that's maxed out on storage and basically bricked.

  • Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step doesnt run, shows 'in progress' indefinately

    Hi
    We have a new SCCM 2012R2 CU3 infrastructure in place and just trying to get OSD working with our existing images, on Dell OptiPlex 980/990 models. I have created a basic task sequence from the wizard and imported our images (windows 7 x64, created
    with imagex). The task sequence applies the image and drivers, but then doesn't finish the task sequence. Instead, it reboots,  runs the mini setup, reboots twice more and returns to the CTRL ALT DEL prompt. The smsts log shows no errors, and the console
    just sits there with the client stuck in 'in progress'. There are no ccmsetup logs in C:\Windows, so the setup didn't start. The files are downloaded successfully however. This is on an image that has never had the ConfigMgr client installed, but I have also
    tried capturing the image with a manual client install and deploying that. When that image starts, the task sequence also doesn't finish and the SMS Agent Host service is disabled.
    Below is a list of things I have tried:
    removing all unattend.xml files from the win7 image
    removing all 3rd party drivers from the win7 image
    adding all drivers to the boot image
    removing all drivers from the boot image
    adding all drivers to the 990 driver package
    removing all drivers from the 990 driver package
    adding just disk and network drivers to the 990 package
    adding chipset drivers to the 990 package
    deselecting migrate system time in the task sequence
    using the RTM client with the PATCH command switch for the CU3 update
    Forcing install onto C drive
    deleting boot partition from task sequence and creating single boot partition at 100% space
    entering the Win7 Pro KMS key into the task sequence
    Using the SMSMP= switch in the client installation properties with the %_SMSTSMDataPath% variable
    Using the SMSMP= switch in the client installation properties with the C:\_SMSTS folder
    removing the scripts directory from c:\windows\setup from the win7 image
    replacing apply driver package step in task sequence with auto apply, limited to 980 category, which only contains nic driver
    tried manually installing agent, capturing via task sequence and redeploying
    Nothing seems to work. Ive even tried deploying Windows 7 SP1 from the media ISO, this also has the same problem. I have used F8 and open a CMD prompt to verify the machine has an IP and can see its storage in WinPE, so I don't think it is a driver issue.
    Ive also tried multiple combinations of all drivers versus no drivers in both the boot image and driver package.
    I cant upload the log file as we restrict file sharing sites here, but I can paste in certain sections if it helps (the file is over 1MB)
    Thanks

    Im resurrecting this again, the issue seemed to be rectified on the VM capture, but has now resurfaced on a Hybrid image which is based on this image. We have 2 hybrids, the base image which is a vanilla install, customizations such as company background,
    .Net 4.5.1, Silverlight, VC++ runtimes, AV, IE10... Then the big hybrid which is based on this, which contains all LOB apps.
    So, the flow is like this, with each step being the basis for the next image/task sequence:
    Win7 x64 SP1 media install in Task Sequence - WORKS
    VM capture, with all outstanding Windows patches - WORKS
    Base Hybrid Image, .Net 4.5.1, Silverlight, VC++ runtimes, AV, IE10 - WORKS
    Fat Hybrid 1, LOB apps with Office 2003 - DOESNT WORK
    Fat Hybrid 2, LOB apps with Office 2013 - DOESNT WORK
    Ive gone through and verified all images have the latest binaries for CU3 2012 (version *.1401). Ive also tried to take off all AV (actually, I didn't even install it, is more accurate) before image capture, just in case this is stopping the TS from
    completing. This issue is happening on both virtual and physical, which leads me to suspect drivers are not the cause.
    So far, Ive come up with the possible causes:
    Driver (less likely, images seem to work/not work regardless of hardware)
    Software
    AV (did not make a difference)
    Number of activations (less likely, new fat image built from vmcapture2, rather than base image - still doesn't work)
    Customizations/background (less likely, base image has customizations/background and works)
    Im disabling the application install steps one by one in the capture TS to see if I can identify an application that is causing this. I have also looked through the list of hotfixes to see if this is a known issue or has a fix:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/9539.sccm-2012-list-of-public-microsoft-support-knowledge-base-articles.aspx
    I also have the dism and smsts logs from a broken 'fat' hybrid TS and a working base hybrid ts and will
    compare them.
    Really tricky issue.

  • Windows 7 -Delay after right click and installation query

    Hi,
    I have freshly clean installed Windows 7 home premium x64 in my HP laptop which was previously running the x86 version of the same factory installed OS.I have performed a usb install.Now,I have two queries-
    1.During the installation,when the machine rebooted,to complete the installation process,it gave the option of 'Continue with win 7-EMS ENABLED'-and I went ahead with it and completed the process.I want to know whether this EMS thing is normal or not?
    2.There is a slight delay after the right click in the desktop-how can it be resolved?
    Looking forward for your valuable opinions regarding this

    Hi,
    First please know that EMS allows users to control particular components of a server remotely, even when the server is not connected to the network or to other standard remote-administration tools. In Windows Vista and later, use BCDEdit /emssettings command
    and its parameters to establish EMS settings for all boot entries. Then, use the BCDEdit /ems command to enable EMS for a particular boot entry.
    It's ok to get EMS enabled.
    For your second question, it seems a performance issue.
    Please first let me know except the system default context on the right click menu, if there is any 3rd part context menu or extension. if so, please use shellexview to remove them:
    1. Download ShellExView v1.41 from the following link
    http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.zip 
    Please Note: The third-party product discussed here is manufactured by a company that is independent of Microsoft. We make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
    2.  Extract "shexview.zip" file and open shexview.exe. It will scan the registry for all the shell extensions.
    3. Select all the non-Microsoft extensions in pink by press "Ctrl" in the keyboard.
    4. Click the "Disable Selected Items" on the toolbar and click Yes.
    5. Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.
    If there is no such context menu, please run performance troubleshooting under Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\All Categories.
    Also, help to test the issue in Clean boot mode.
    How to perform a clean boot

    If the issue doesn’t appear, you can determine which one can be the cause by using dichotomy in MSconfig. Checking on half of Non-Microsoft service and restart, determining which half of the services cause the issue and repeating to check half of the problematic
    half services.
    If the issue still persists, please check if there is any related error or warning in event logs, post back for our further research.

  • Windows 7 Corrupted after installing new keyboard

    Installed a new keyboard on my Dell 1525 Inspiron computer. Good news the new keyboard works perfectly, bad news, Windows 7 will not launch. I have run the diagnostics and it all says it is fine. I have run the recovery mode and auto repair, and it comes
    up and says a recent hardware installation should be removed and try again. So I removed the new keyboard and reinstalled the old keyboard, but did not fix it. Try going back to a previous backup and it did not fix it either. Now what? Should I reinstall Windows
    7? I don't have a recovery disc or the original disc since I upgraded from XP to W7 by downloading it.  I hate spending $90 dollars on new software as old as the computer is, but it still works really well, which is why I bought the keyboard. Help!!!!!

    Hi BeckyLaWR,
    Is the keyboard a USB device ? Have you tried to choose the "Last known good configurations" option to have a check ? Does machine boot well without the new keyboard ?Can we boot into safe mode ?
    There is a possibility that the driver installed for the keyboard is corrupted.It is recommended to download the driver from the manufacturer website for the new keyboard.
    Best regards
