SYSPREP - Unattend.xml Issues

[CHR1S]

All I want to do is skip rearm -

 

 
- 
- 
- 
 1 
 
 
 

 

This throws up these errors when running -

 

unable to deserialize explicitly provided unattend file

 

Then -

 

sysprep error 0x0f0073

(Rearm Failed)

 

So, why would it not be processing the skip rearm?

[CHR1S]

Even with skiprearm set I still had to reset the rearm count for this to work.

 

First had to boot into WinRE - then run the following commands -

reg load HKLM\MY_SYSTEM “d:\Windows\System32\config\system”

reg delete HKLM\MY_SYSTEM\WPA /f

reg unload HKLM\MY_SYSTEM

 

Then Reboot and do these -

 

Set these values -

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Status\SysprepStatus\GeneralizationState\

 

CleanupState:2

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Status\SysprepStatus\GeneralizationState\

 

GeneralizationState:7

 

After done with the registry, do the following :

 

Start -> Run : msdtc -uninstall (wait few seconds)

Start -> Run : msdtc -install (wait few seconds)

Restart the machine

Check the registry for the right registry keys values

sysprep with the new XML answerfile.
