Reinstall Windows 7 using SCCM and Hardlink

[ia2s]

Hi there,

 

I try to reinstall a Windows 7 computer using hardlink (Windows 7 to Windows 7 using Offline mode in Windows PE). I try to follow a similar topic (using Offline Mode in Windows PE using USMT 4 via a task sequence in SCCM 2007 SP2) but it's doesn't work. I haven't got any error on log but on the screen, i have a 0x80070091. When i browse the disk, i can see that the system cannot delete a file (c:\windows\system32\config\SOFTWARE)... Excuse for my English.

 

 

Topic i follow : using Offline Mode in Windows PE using USMT 4 via a task sequence in SCCM 2007 SP2

When cleaning the drive as part of Configuration Manager 2007 OSD task sequence, machines consistently fail to wipe the drive with a file-in-use error. The problem seems to only occur on 64-bit systems.

The USMT scanstate fails to unload the SOFTWARE hive before exiting.

 

USMT (scanstate.log)

 

2010-01-27 15:09:07, Warning [0x0803de] Failed to unload hive at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\$DEST$SOFTWARE (error 5)

2010-01-27 15:09:07, Warning [0x0803de] Failed to unload hive at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\$DEST$SOFTWARE (error 5)

 

 

Resolution

 

 

Adding a reboot to the OSD task sequence after the USMT scan will clean the system and allow for the drive to be wiped.

Mandatory Task Sequences are forced to apply without prompting for user to select.To aviod that,make it as optional advertisement,remove the time schedule for mandatory advertisements.
