Cacophony

Has anybody had any success with OSD and EWF?

Seems this has something to do with EWF... This from C:\Windows\Panther\setupact.log after that error occurs. 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info [0x0f008b] SYSPRP RunRegistryDlls:Found entrypoint in registry at SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\SysPrep\Specialize\{afc4e571-4b1d-095e-190d-477c783cd71b}; will try to launch 'C:\Windows\System32\ewfcfg.dll,EwfSysprepSpecialize' 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info [0x0f0080] SYSPRP LaunchDll:Found 'C:\Windows\System32\ewfcfg.dll,EwfSysprepSpecialize'; executing it 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: EwfSysprepSpecialize --- 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: SMI volume data empty. 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: Need default config: FALSE 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: ConfigureEwf() Start. 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: GetSMIParametersEx: ======== Examining: System\CurrentControlSet\Services\EWF\Cached ======== 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: GetSMIParametersEx: EwfMode = 1 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: GetSMIParametersEx: Attempt to retrieve BootStatusPolicy failed, hr=0x80070002 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: GetSMIParametersEx: Attempt to retrieve DisableDefragSvc failed with status=2 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: GetSMIParametersEx: ProtectBcdPartition = 0 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: GetSMIParametersEx: Key 1 , PVDisk = 0 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: GetSMIParametersEx: Key 1 , PVPart = 1 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: GetSMIParametersEx: Key 1 , EnableLazyWrite = 0 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: GetSMIParametersEx: Key 1 , PVOptimize = 0 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: Defragment Service is disabled. 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: DisableDefragSvc success 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: DeleteEwfPartitions: Skipping removable disk (diskNumber = 1) 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: Disk #0 layout info: 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: Disk #1 layout info: 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: PRIMARY partition,start=0x0000000000100000, len=0x0000000744d00000, type= 12 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: DeleteEwfPartitions: Skipping removable disk (diskNumber = 1) 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: Failed to create EWF partition. 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info SYSPRP WFCFG: ConfigureEwf() End, status = 0x80070057. 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Error [0x0f0082] SYSPRP LaunchDll:Failure occurred while executing 'C:\Windows\System32\ewfcfg.dll,EwfSysprepSpecialize', returned error code -2147024809 2016-06-21 14:51:14, Info IBS Callback_Specialize: Internal Providers Specialized Failed.

I captured an image from a HP t520 Thin Client (Windows 7 Embedded) and all seemed to go well, until I'm now trying to deploy it via Task Sequence from a boot disk. The TC boots into PE and the TS seems to run fine and gets through all of it's steps then reboots. That's when I get this error: (See attached image) Any ideas? I pulled the smsts.log from X:\Windows\Temp right before the reboot and everything seems to look good in there. I'm pulling out what is left of my hair over here!
