Could not capture W8.1 image

[RudoK]

I am trying to create reference image for Win 8.1 using CM2012 R2, but task sequence finished without creating wim file.

 

Virtual machine reboot twice after winpe phase and installation finished in Laguage selection screen. After that I am not able to login as administrator (account is disabled). I am not able to see logs. ( I enabled account and specified the local administrator password

 

(

I followed instruction for Win7 -Part 7. Build and Capture Windows 7 X64 SP1 and It is work fine - the infrastructure is correct ,

 

but I not able to finish win8 instructions - Part 12. Connecting Powershell and building a reference image of Windows 8 with .NET 3.5

)

 

Is there any way to get logs from the machine?

 

Thx

Perhaps you can create a script that creates a local account, and adds it to the local administrator group.

Alternatively, you could create a pause script after the capture phase, so that you can press F8, and check the logs.

 

Can you check if you can browse to the UNC share when you pressed F8(command prompt)?

Can you check if the user has write permissions(share and ntfs) on the destination?

Put in a pause before and after the "Apply Windows Settings" step. It seems like that step is not completing correctly if the admin account is disabled even though you've specified it.

 

Just to make sure, you don't join the computer to the domain, right?

Additionally, you can monitor the deployment.

I've described how you can do it here:

Yeah, forgot about that. I even use it myself, all the time

Yeah it works pretty good! Unfortunately you need to create it for every deployment, it doesn't work on a 'task sequence base'.

Anyway, I think that it's a very good solution, especialliy when the computer you are deploying isn't anywhere near you.

Ok, I will try trace sequences

[RudoK]

Installation reboot on Setup Windows and configuration sequence. I will try analyze logs when reboot windows occured.

I could not find any error in logs. System gust rebooted and Install application sequence did not start. ( I have a pause sequence befor and it not triggered)

[RudoK]

I found only error on DtcInstall:

 

DTC Install error = 0, ....
