Hi I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction with this one. We have created a *.wim file using MDT, but when we try to create an unattended file the following error message pops up;
14:52 :
14:52 : Windows SIM was unable to generate a catalog. For troubleshooting assistance, see the topic: 'Windows System Image Manager Technical Reference' in the Windows OPK or Windows AIK User's Guide.
14:52 :
