Windows 10 sysprep error.

@george1421 said in Windows 10 sysprep error.:

@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.
