MDT: 1607 capture issue during Windows Update phase

[Tsonga]

Hi all,

I have a Windows 10 1607 capture task sequence that seems to be running into trouble during the update phase. It just seems to get stuck for a long period of time without doing anything, but will then eventually come to life after possibly hours.

The big update a clean 1607 has to install is the Cumulative Update for Windows 10 (KB4041691) and that is where the process seems to be halting. Looking in the setup logs in event viewer I am getting a constant loop of:

Initiating changes for package KB4041691. Current state is installed. Target state is staged

and

Package KB4041691 failed to be changed to the stages state. Status 0x800f0816.

Notes:

 

• I have tried both letting the machine get the update from Microsoft and injecting it during the task sequence.
  
• We are pointing to MS update servers, not out own.
  
• I cant stop/start or do anything with the Windows Update service at this point.
  
• Eventually this continues, possibly an 'attempt counter' maxes out.

Ahaha! Fixed it.

Apparently the KB4041691 is poop - use KB4041688 instead (dated yesterday).

I didn't get this as part of the normal 'check for update pass' (we point towards MS servers, not our own WSUS) so add a step into your TS that adds this update.

That's not the only problem that patch has caused.

It's a fubared patch [emoji14] It's been breaking hundreds of systems across ze world!

 

 

 

Ironically those that can install it it's often nuking their machines into a BSOD loop if they have USB C on it [emoji14]

 

 

 

There's a post about using the script to basically delete the update for now until it's patched.

And that is why MS are years from persuading network managers that we'll just go with regular OS updates...
