@BedCruncher Everything seems to be working with no AV, no FOG Client, and no AutoLogon/CopyProfile. Only problem now is that the administrator account is NOT enabled because there is no “net user administrator /active:yes”, so I need to reintroduce AutoLogon and see if everything breaks again.
EDIT: I also took a snapshot within VirtualBox for my “PreSysprep”, which means I’m not sysprepping the “same” image 5000 times over.
I’m in the process of building a new image and removing the FOG Client and McAfee Agent (I’ll install these from a pendrive post-install). Also will remove the auto-login lines from the unattended install.
One interesting quirk is that the installation never fails on the virtual machine, and none of the virtual machine’s drivers are being carried over to the image. It also plays nice with certain hardware and not others. One thing is for certain: this isn’t an issue with the image itself. I have tried building an image on the hardware I’m attempting to deploy to using the same unattended file and still continue to receive the same error. That’s why I’m pointing to the CopyProfile flag and will definitely update you all if this thing works without it.
@BedCruncher Audit mode at first, then there were a few modifications I had forgotten to make and so I logged in as the local Admin and sysprepped as necessary. I’m thinking that the fact that I sysprepped about 3000 times might have something to do with it but I set SkipRearm to 1 so I don’t think I’m running into the “3 and done” thing.
I’m having trouble getting Windows installs to finalize. I’m perplexed because this image was working beautifully for 40 machines before this error began happening. When I check the log at C:\windows\panther\unattendgc\setuperr.log, I see this:
[msoobe.exe] COMMIT: failed for plugin LocalUser Plugin with hr=0x80070490
Googling the error code gives nothing except for Windows Update errors, and this seems to have not a thing to do with Windows Update. I’m wondering if it’s failing at the LocalUser Plugin because I have CopyProfile enabled. I’m in the middle of testing this theory now, and I’m going to remove the AutoLogon script next. Anyone else have any suggestions?
Thanks so much,
Ryan
