Re: Windows 10 1703 Image with strange issue
I have taken advice from all over the Internet, and I’m failing every time after the SysPrep has completed. I want to create an image (generic or specific to the hardware) with Windows 10, Office 2016, browsers and our regular applications. Part of what I want to do is also duplicate the Start Menu layout, but nothing is working.
The latest attempts will capture the image, then a message comes up on the same computer I built the image on saying "Windows could not finish configuring the system. To attempt to resume configuration, restart the computer.". I can click OK many times, and the computer just restarts and does the same thing.

The latest take was done in Hyper-V, with the recommendation to make base images in a virtualized environment. Next step will be to figure out how to get it to work with FOG’s PXE boot mode, but that’s later.
Steps to reproduce:
- Use our Volume License media to install Windows 10, wiping the hard drive and letting Windows partition as necessary
- Go into Audit mode during Cortana setup screen
- Install Office 2016, AVG Anti-virus (disabled during testing and setup), Chrome / Firefox, Adobe Reader
- Apply Local Group Policy (no Active Directory domain setup)
- Install the FOG client from my FOG installation (Running Version 1.3.4, SVN Revision: 6064). Service is disabled in
services.msc
- Customize the Admin profile (i.e. desktop icons, Start Menu, background picture, etc)
- Restart system (still in Audit), verify everything looks good. Copy
SetupComplete.cmd, Layout.ps1, and our Wireless profile file to C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts. Copy the unattend.xml file to C:\Windows\System32\SysPrep
- Restart one more time for good measure.
- Run
sysprep /quiet /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:unattend.xml from the Command Prompt, in the C:\Windows\System32\SysPrep working folder
- Attempt to capture image
- System turns back on, and the error message appears.
Below is my SetupComplete.cmd file:
sc config FOGService start= auto
net start FOGService

Where can I go to troubleshoot further?
