Sysprep Fatal error

[Tesla]

Sysprep instantly fails with a fatal error, event viewer shows an error code 0xc000000d , can only see things online so far pointing to MSE being installed (which it hasn't) and messing with its registry and disabling its services...which obviously don't exist.

 

Sysprep initially ran but failed half way through (with a random blue screen), but now can't even get it to start.

 

Ideas?

There are log files inside: C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\Panther

 

The few times I've had sysprep fail on me I was able to fix with the help of these.

Are you sysprepping a virtual machine or a bare metal? I'd try to keep the drivers to the minimal if it's to build a base image (and use a virtual machine where possible).

Ta for responses, It was because i'd imaged the same machine too many times ( a couple failed, the last one i accidentally set it to reboot, and left the machine, so it ran the OOBE automatically, they were my three!)

 

Thanks for replying

I was going to suggest that as an issue (took me a few hours to work it out first time round lol. If you KMS activate it, you get a rearm back and can sysprep.
