WDS Woes

[jertsy]

Hi all

 

I'm trying to capture an image via WDS, I run sysprep shut PC down restart and hit F12, select capture an image and was getting a 0x000000f error see attached. I downloaded drivers from Lenovo and extracted them via driver max and uploaded to WDS and inserted into the WDS capture image. Now I don't get the error I get the windows bar appear as if its carrying on but them all I get is a black screen!?

I have tried 3 PC's now, tried an 8.1 boot.wim as we are server 2012R2, tried downloading again in case of corruption etc... I'm at a loss now, I am a beginner with WDS so has anyone come across this before?

Any help greatly appreciated as I'm tearing my hair out now!

 

Cheers

Have you found a fix to this? After Sysprep I get the same error but as i'm testing this in VirtualBox I have no idea what other drivers to insert

Yes, basically update 1 on 2012 r2 broke wds so I just used mdt instead.

Wds should really just be used for pxe boot. MDT is the way to go. If you are feeling brave sccm is better.
