      @Tom-Elliott Just made the changes as requested, but I’m still getting the same GPT error when trying to deploy unfortunately. Any other ideas/suggestions?

        @vanopy I imagine the GPT Error is due to the d1.mbr file. We may have to manually run the process to get the image to push onto the machine.

        Can you redo the tasking into a debug mode again? (Goto create new tasking and just before confirming there will be a checkbox to “Schedule as debug”. Check this box)

        Then boot the machine you want to deploy too.

        My editing of the files doesn’t change the MBR file which I believe is where you’re seeing the error.\

        @Sebastian-Roth Theoretically, at least for the case of GPT, we shouldn’t need to apply the MBR file in order to build the partition data, correct? I know we’ve talked about this in the past and I really don’t know what we need the MBR for when we have the exact partition layout information in the d1.partitions and d1.minimum.partitions files. I’d think we could apply the minimum and do our adjustment calculations based of the new table.

        I’m sure there’s a reason we’ve kept mbr applying though I can’t see why at the moment.

          @Tom-Elliott I’m out of the office now. Will be able to test again on Tuesday and will let you know the outcome

                @vanopy I might suggest clearing all partition tables using sgdisk -Z /dev/sda

                Then try:
                (using the d1.minimum.partitions as I requested to be modified.)
                sfdisk /dev/sda < /images/winv10.3/d1.minimum.partitions

                From there can you get us the screenshot?

                  @Tom-Elliott Ok, so this is what I’ve done and got:

                  Fog clear partitions.jpg

                  Want me to try to deploy again now?

                    @vanopy don’t try to deploy yet as it will still error out the same way.

                    What’s output when you run:
                    partprobe /dev/sda; fdisk -l /dev/sda

                        @vanopy Is this what your d1.minimum.partitions file looks like?

                            @vanopy Why are all the quotes listed as .?

                              @Tom-Elliott Good question, I just copy/pasted them from what you gave me, just noticed myself.
                              I’ll edit those and see if that changes anything.

                                @Tom-Elliott Ok, so I’ve replaced the . by ", but it doesn’t really change anything, I’m still getting exactly the same error when I run the commands.

                                  Can you paste the contents of your d1.minimum.partitions here?

                                  There may appear to be an error, but that’s not a bad thing in and of itself. The reason it failed to create any other partitions was because line 8 (the first partition) had met symbols that didn’t make sense (the .)

                                  Replacing all of the . with " should allow the partitions to at least get created.

                                      Ticket can be closed for me.
                                      I’ve captured a completely new image, before doing so, I’ve shrunk the disk, just to make sure.
                                      Deployment is now working as expected for me.
                                      Thanks for your assistance.
