Windows 7 Unattend.xml Errors during Sysprep

I am getting the dreaded Unattend error. Im running the XML below. I am trying to run it on a Lenovo model 20A7 (X1 Carbon). We have used this file on other images but for some reason it wants to error on this model. Any help would be appreciated.

 Hi ,
Could you plaese share more detailed information with us? Such as message prompted when you deploy the system, (a screenshot will be helpful) or check sysprep log as mentioned in this link

  • 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.

  • Error during sysprep

    Hi guys,
    I am trying to make a 64-bit win7 image, but for some reason when I run sysprep I get this error "sysprep a fatal error occurred while trying to sysprep the machine". I have checked my unattend.xml file and all seems fine. I have pasted the sysprep log file below as well as my unattend.xml file. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    AH HA!!!! I found the answer! For future issues, I found the answer in the link below. Long story short, Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service was causing sysprep to fail. Had to disable the service, ran sysprep again and all was happy happy. Leave it to Microcrap to break their own products. Thanks for the help Anders!! I really appreciate it!

  • 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.

  • CopyProfile fails in unattend.xml - error 0x8007012b

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a Windows 8.1 x64 bit Enterprise image. Upon sysprepping I am getting a copyprofile error (listed below). Normally this is caused by a profile not being deleted out of the registry but I have not deleted or created any profiles in the
    image. Also listed below are the profiles that are in the registry (I believe that all of these profiles should be in the registry). I appreciate any help that anyone can give me!
    Error from C:\Windows\Panther\UnattendGC\Setuperr.log:
    2014-06-25 08:23:19, Error                        [Shell Unattend] CopyProfileDirectory from C:\Users\Administrator failed (0x8007012b) [gle=0x0000012b]

    Profiles in registry:
    SystemProfile, LocalService, NetworkService, Administrator

    Hi,
    the system time should be syncronized in the deployment process.
    This problem may occur if you manually delete the profile folder that is located in the \Users folder. This action causes an inconsistent image state, and leaves the profile information orphaned
    in the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
    To work around this problem on a WIM image on which Sysprep was run and captured, follow these steps: 1.Mount the WIM image by using the following DISM command:
    DISM /Mount-Wim /WimFile:<path to the wim file> /index:<index number> /MountDir:<Path to an empty Mount Directory>
    2.Start Registry Editor. To do this, click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box (or on the Start Screen in Windows 8), and then click regedit.exe or Registry Editor in the results.
    3.Select the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key, and then click Load Hive on File menu.
    4.In the Load Hive window, locate the mount directory in which the WIM file is mounted, open the %WINDIR%\System32\Config folder, and click SOFTWARE. When you are prompted for a key name, type test.
    5.In the Registry Editor winodw, locate the following subkey :
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\test\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\ProfileList
    6.Delete the key that corresponds to the user profile that is based on the path in the ProfileImagePath value.
    Note The key name is the SID that is associated with the user profile and user account. The value points to \Users\<user name>, as shown in the screenshot in the "Cause" section.
    It also can be seen at:

  • 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

    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.

  • Acrodist.exe installation error during Acrobat XI pro intallation. WIN 7

    I purchased and downladed Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Student and Teacher Edition (Windows,English) Acrodist.exe error during installation. Installation completes but I cannot open acrobat or any of its other utilities. Uninstalled using CC including registry and installed again with my firewall and antivirus turned off.....No luck! .

    Dear Amish,
    I generated the msi.log file as you lined out.
    It is with 16kB rather long, so I just have posted the last couple of MSI (C) messages.
    Let me know if there is a way to upload the complete file if you are interested.
    Of course, A-IX does not start, same problem as before despite of the Installer
    coming back as Installation finished successfully.
    So far no word from the Adobe Tier 2 team.

  • Windows could not finish configuring the system error after sysprep /generalize

    Hi
    I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate RTM off from technet and as always I do make use of WIM images on having them deployed to my home PC's
    I was able to have it installed on a clean machine and once the wizard appeared i immediately entered Audit mode (shift+ctrl+f3) and the usual I loaded all of the software i need to pre-install after I was done I Immediately loaded sysprep and had it with the generalized option
    now this is where the problem begins....... after it restarts during the "Setup is starting Services" screen it gives me a message box error saying "Windows could not finish configuring the system. To attempt resume configuration, restart the computer" and once I press ok it jsut restarts and gives the same error again.
    This does not happen when i dont select the generalize option in sysprep.
    Anyone who had the same issues?

    I now have the ACTUAL SOLUTION to this problem.  This solution will actually tell you exactly what registry key is causing your sysprep to fail, so then you don't have to slowly install
    every program until you find the problem -- especially since this didn't work for me because my problem has been intermittent.
    This issue is caused by certain registry keys that are either:
    a) Larger than 8kb
    b) Set with incorrect permissions
    c) Corrupt in some way
    For me, the problem was intermittent (same registry key would sometimes cause the issue and sometimes not - must be corrupt sometimes) so it was impossible to tell what program was doing it.  Luckily, there is a log you can look at that will tell you
    exactly what registry key is erroring out.  Here are the steps for getting the log you need to see:
    When you see the error message, do the following:
    1.) Push Shift+F10 to get to a command prompt
    2.) Navigate to C:\windows\Panther
    3.) Find the Setup.etl file and find a way to copy this file off of the system (I copied it to the D:\ partition and used Ghost to gather that partition and get the file off)
    4.) Copy the setup.etl file from the corrupted system to another computer that has Windows 7.  Put it on the root of C:\ for easiest access.
    5.) Open a Command Prompt on the Windows 7 computer.
    6.) Navigate to the root of C:\ (or wherever you saved the file)
    7.) Type "tracerpt setup.etl -o logfile.csv"
    8.) Close the command prompt and open up logfile.csv in your text editor of choice. 
    9.) Look through the log file (towards the end probably) for messages that say "Failed to process reg key or one of it's decendants"  For me, the exact eror looked like this: "Failed to process reg key or one of its descendants: [\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESET\ESET
    Security\CurrentVersion\Plugins\01000200\Profiles\@My profile]"  If you search for "reg key" or "failed to process" you should find the failure.
    10.) Remove this software from your image, or find out how to get the registry key that is failing to work properly.
    After this, you should be able to properly identify any problem keys and remove/workaround them on your image.
    I see this post is about a year old at this point, but after searching the internet for weeks, I had high hopes for this solution. It seemed to go well, but the logfile.csv doesn't have the word "fail" in it anywhere...no "reg key", nothing. Did a sysprep
    install with an unattend.xml answer file that seems to be working properly, but hangs at "Setup is starting services." forever.
    At this point, I'm pretty convinced that the problem is a service or reg key error from one of the apps I installed during audit mode, but I can't tell which app/service is causing the problem.
    Are there any other methods for viewing failed services or registry errors that would cause the sysprep install process to hang at "Setup is starting services."?
    Willing to post logfile.csv from the "tracerpt setup.etl -o logfile.csv" command, or other log files such as setupact.log, etc. Nothing popped out at me.
    For now I think I'll start making multiple .wim files with only certain software installed to try to discover which application is the culprit...just wish there was an easier way.

  • Office 2013 apps showing templates error after Sysprepping Windows 7 with CopyProfile setting

    Here is my setup:
    I installed Windows 7 Professional.
    I entered Audit Mode (which automatically logged me in as the built-in Administrator user) and installed the entire Office 2013 Professional Plus suite.
    In Audit Mode, I opened Word 2013 to get through the "new user" prompts, such as the opening movie that plays in all Office 2013 programs. I did this to ensure that any new users who log into the computer would not need to sit through these "new
    user" prompts.  I also rearmed Office 2013.
    I ran Sysprep with the CopyProfile setting in the Unattend.xml file, with the /generalize switch, and the /oobe switch. The CopyProfile setting copies settings from the built-in Administrator account to any new user who logs into the system.
    Both Windows and Office were successfully activated using KMS.
    Everything seemed to work, but there is one problem: when any user -- all of which are standard users rather than administrator users -- logs into Windows and runs any Office 2013 program that has templates (such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), the templates
    on the Start page do not appear. In their place, the following error message appears on the Start page where the templates would normally have been listed:
    "Sorry, we had trouble getting the featured templates and can't show them right now."
    Below the error message is a link that reads “Work Offline.” If you click the “Work Offline” link, the error message disappears and the templates appear as they should.  However, the error message re-occurs when the application is closed and re-opened.
    If I login as the built-in Administrator account (i.e., the account I used to modify the default profile), this problem does not occur at all when using Office 2013 programs.
    Any ideas?

    "logs into Windows and runs any Office 2013 program that has templates (such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), the templates on the Start page do not appear. In their place, the following error message appears on the Start page where the templates would normally
    have been listed:
    "Sorry, we had trouble getting the featured templates and can't show them right now." "
    Is there any chance to let you skip the Start page for Office application? I mean that try to open Office application (such Word)and go to File > Options > Untick the option "Show the Start screen when this application starts". Try to re-launch
    the application again to check if the error still pop-up. If yes, I'm afraid the default build-in template is corrupted somehow and we need to copy a healthy one from another computer or totally rename normal.dotm documents from %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\template.
    Afte that, please check if the issue still persists.

  • 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.
    Here is the end of the setupact.log

  • MDT 2012 'Failed to save Environment to (80070057) Error during Windows 7 x64 Pro Deployment

    Hi There,
    I've been using MDT for a little while now, but I'm having problems successfully deploying an image to a batch of new laptops. The laptop HDD's are completely blank, and I am PXE booting using an x64 Litetouch Image via WDS. I have successfully captured
    my image from a reference laptop (the same model that I'm trying to image), and I am now trying to deploy it using a standard client task sequence.
    The 'Install operating System' phase seems to go ok, but then sits for quite some time at the 'Applying Unattend.xml' stage, then eventually, I get a general error 'Task Sequence Failed - 80004005'. I then exit MDT (it doesn't reboot as it should), and let
    the laptop boot, which it does, and logs straight on into Windows, but gives me error along the lines of 'can't find the litetouch script', which I assume means MDT hasn't been able to copy it across. The laptop is however joined to our domain, and I pretty
    much just have to tick the 'require a password to log on to this computer' box in user accounts, and all looks ok.
    So in summary, the image is applying, but the laptop is not rebooting and running the final cleanup scripts.
    I have already changed the SATA mode to IDE, instead of AHCI, having read this sometimes causes problems. I also read that systems with UEFI BIOS can also cause problems with MDT, but I'm not sure if this is the case.
    I have edited my customsettings.ini, to copy log files back to my server, which it has done for me. Having looked at the logs (with CM Trace), I can see these errors:

    You don't mention what kind of OS this is (Windows 7 Pro x64?)
    This is a known issue/FAQ.
    I would recommending using MDT 2012 (update 1) for UEFI machines.
    Machines with uEFI 2.3.1 only support Windows 8.x.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh824898.aspx
    Recomendation: Convert the BIOS to CSM and/or upgrade to Windows 8.1 :^)

  • How can I disable windows firewall and install cluster software and its service using unattended.xml file?

    Hi,
    I am not quiet understanding your question, could you clarify your question, as far as I know, an answer file is an XML-based file that contains setting definitions and values
    to use during Windows Setup. In an answer file, you specify various setup options, including how to partition disks, the location of the Windows image to install, and the product key to apply. You can also specify values that apply to the Windows installation,
    such as names of user accounts, display settings, and Internet Explorer favorites. The answer file for Setup is typically called Unattend.xml.

  • 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]
