Unable to sysprep the machine 0x00004005

[BRO-T]

Hi there,

 

I'm new to SCCM and I've inherited a working implementation which now has a few issues.

 

I ahve started by building my own collections, OS images etc followign the website. I have got to the stage where i have PXEboot my 1st machine to build and capture the XP image. It gets so far, installs the OS, sofwtare, drivers, I believe it is failing on the sysprep task which is almost the last task.

 

Can somebody please help, below is a sample of the SMSTS log file

is sysprep present ? did you create a sysprep package ?

[BRO-T]

Yes there is a sysprep package, I created it following your guide. Updated distribution points and tried the process again. Same error message (

[BRO-T]

I'm also now getting a different error message before the OS starts to deploy. Failed to get client identity 8004005

 

Haven't touched the systems over the weekend.

This is still an issue and is becoming a BIG problem as we can't image our machines any more!

Had the same problem.

Found this http://blogs.technet.com/b/smsandmom/archive/2008/08/18/configmgr-2007-osd-fails-with-sysprep-did-not-complete-successfully-error-when-capturing-a-windows-vista-image.aspx

 

I solved the problem

 

Resolution: There are two possible solutions or workarounds to this problem:

 

Use the above described method in building the Windows Vista image from scratch each time by using a task sequence. Anytime you need to make changes to the image, change the task sequence and allow the image to be built from scratch again. This is the preferred method

 

 

Everytime I perform a build and capture (Windows 7 - to install latest patches) - I use an untouched version of Windows 7 - and NOT one, that I have previously patched
