      @george1421 The only reason for connecting to the internet is to run updates and get Adobe software, etc.

        @george1421 I am going to start from scratch and see if I can work around this.

          @John-Johnson Just as a recommendation, for windows updates use a 2012 wsus server. And for adobe updates download them to a flash drive so you can install them. It sounds like you are building your reference image manually using audit mode?

          Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

            @John-Johnson I ran into a similar error.
            This answer is similar to the other’s but I had to run the following powershell script on every local user to get sysprep to work.

            $AppsList = "Microsoft.Bing" , "Microsoft.BingFinance" , "Microsoft.BingMaps" , "Microsoft.BingNews"`
                        , "Microsoft.BingSports" , "Microsoft.BingTravel" , "Microsoft.BingWeather" , "Microsoft.Camera"`
                        , "microsoft.microsoftskydrive" , "Microsoft.Reader" , "microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps"`
                        , "microsoft.windowsphotos" , "Microsoft.XboxLIVEGames" , "Microsoft.ZuneMusic"`
                        , "Microsoft.ZuneVideo" , "Microsoft.Media.PlayReadyClient"
            
            ForEach ($App in $AppsList)
            {
                $PackageFullName = (Get-AppxPackage $App).PackageFullName
                if ((Get-AppxPackage $App).PackageFullName)
                {
                    Write-Host "Removing Package: $App"
                    remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online -packagename $PackageFullName
                    remove-AppxPackage -package $PackageFullName
                }
                else
                {
                    Write-Host "Unable to find package: $App"
                }
            }

            Have you tried the FogApi powershell module? It's pretty cool IMHO

              @george1421 I am actually building the image on the computer model we will use it on. We have several different models. I had no issues with Windows 7 but Windows 10 has been a struggle.

                  @george1421 This worked. Arrowhead IT suggested the same.

                    @John-Johnson just for clarity the power shell script that ArrowHead-IT posted (same as what I posted only through the link) corrected your issue? You were able to update your win10 with all of the updates from the internet and you applied the adobe updates? I just want to ensure your workflow was the same and the only thing you changed was the powershell script.

                      Yes. I was able to lift my image to fog by using powershell as the user and removing the offending apps.

                        I would say this topic is solved and I appreciate the support.

                          I apologize for not responding for a while. I did find a solution to this. I simply made an account that I knew I would remove later. I loaded everything I needed under that account. After I was finished I created the account I wanted to keep and removed the other. All the Microsoft apps went with it. This works for me and I hope it helps…

                            I’d just like to mention that if you clean install the latest W10 iso, this shouldn’t happen (unless you incorrectly remove certain apps)

                              not sure if anyone has moved from this or not but there is a much easier way to sysprep then going through and removing the native apps. All I did was do a fresh install and have the OS offline. Go to services and disable Windows Update. Then go ahead and put it back online, install all my apps and use the SCCM 2012R2 capture ISO. Worked like a charm. It’s something in the Native App updates that kills sysprep.

                                I run this on powershell

                                Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage
                                

                                And then I use this sysprep unattend file. It works really well in my environment.

                                <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
                                <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
                                
                                <!-- Autounattend_x64_BIOS_sample.xml
                                
                                This file automates the Windows installation.
                                
                                    Before using this file:
                                     * Replace ProductKey with a product key for the edition of Windows you are installing
                                       (example: Windows 8 Pro)
                                       Note:
                                          The product key used in Microsoft-Windows-Setup\UserData\ProductKey\Key 
                                          can be used many times in different installations and is not used to activate Windows. 
                                          It is only used to choose which edition of Windows to install. 
                                          
                                          The individual product key is either specified by the user, or by setting 
                                          Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup\ProductKey.
                                    * Set the default language to your own:
                                      Replace "en-US" with your language code in Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE\SetupUILanguage. 
                                      For a list of languages, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=206620.
                                    * OEMs: Replace OEMInformation with your support information
                                
                                    To use this file: 
                                       Save this file on the root of a USB flash drive with the filename: Autounattend.xml
                                       Put the Windows DVD and the USB key into a new x64-BIOS PC.
                                -->
