Error when deploy Windows 7

[alicuky]

Dear all,

 

Today I try to deploy windows 7 using SCCM OSD. The Taske sequence is ok. I pass to these steps below:

 

Installing Windows mode --> OK

Copying Windows files --> OK

Expanding Windows files --> OK

Installing features --> OK

Installing updates --> OK

 

Reboots

Setup is adjusting registry settings

A Setup is starting services

Completing installtion

The screen refresh's to higher resolution

 

Then the following error apprears:

Install Windows

--> Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize]. The settings specified in the answer file cannot be applied. The error was deteted while processing settings for component [Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup] <---

 

Please help me to solve this problem. Many thanks

i've seen if before too, usually when adding incorrect drivers or something in the unattend.xml that shouldn't be there,

so.. have you tried disabling drivers to see does it help and/or remove the unattend.xml changes if any ?

In the pass, I can deploy the win7 os. Every things run very smoothly. But later, after I configure the Asset Intelligence, import the license file then when I try to deploy the OS again, the error happen.

I tried to disable the step using the unattend.xml, or tried to create a new fresh boot image with the correct driver. But it still error. It makes me crazy.....

Some Microsoft experts ask me to give them the smsts.log but I can't find it.

post the file here and we'll have a look.

 

are you adding the Windows 7 product key to your task sequence ? if so remove it and try again

Not sure if it'll help you or not, but here's a sample .XML file for Windows 7 Enterprise that should work with SCCM (watch out for odd word wrap and spacing due to the formatting on this board of course):
