[ltsb, 1809] Win 10 Capture stuck at 1%

[Sharmanl]

Having a few issues with the capture of Win 10 LTSC. We are wanting to roll out Windows 10 over summer across the domain so i have been getting the image ready for deployment. We use old school of pushing out the image via WDS installing Office and some other bits of software then capture that image back to WDS. I have tested with Win 10 education and all that worked fine. I have been tasked with getting Win 10 LTSC set up as the network manager wants to go down this route.

I have installed the latest ADK and WinPE packages on the server. Deploys fine but when i go to capture the image (Even just the vanilla image from the ISO) it gets stuck at 1%. I have tried to just save it to the local drive and not push back to the WDS server but still same issue. I have removed and re added the boot and capture WIMS. Totally removed the LTSC build and downloaded a fresh ISO to see if it had corrupted, reinstalled on WDS same issue deploys fine but gets stuck at capture.

 

Any assistance gratefully welcomed as im now running out of ideas.

 

Cheers

Is it worth trying the hard disk in a different make/model of computer and running the capture again?

 

We use LTSC and have had no issues.

I've had a few issues capturing and in the end I find it best to log in as a local user, delete all the roaming profiles from my domain accounts, then capture.

Looks like Jawloms may have the solution just "borrowed" a machine from one of the offices that wasn't busy and pushed out LTSC, syspreped and now capturing.

Normally easiest to deploy to a virtual machine when building an image, can take snapshots at key points then too in case anything goes wrong.

Another vote for using snapshots in a VM - it's how I maintain my image. As far as capturing is concerned I just do it at the command line through WinPE that boot over PXE. Use DISM to capture the image. No issues with LTSC.
