Task Sequence Error 080070070

[tmiller_hockey]

History:

 

Everything was working fine. I have two images I deploy.

 

Yesterday, I captured another image for a different lab as these machines need Adobe CS5 and that's a huge application to package up and deploy to a lab at once.

 

After creating this image, I created a TS for it and told it to use the MDT x86 boot image. My other TS's use the normal x86 boot image.

 

After the TS was created, one of my images stopped working throwing up the TS error shown in the subject. It happens when it applies the data image to the formatted partition. I've tried this on multiple machines and get the same error each time. What struck me as odd was that the old image TS was now trying to utilize the MDT boot image instead of the standard one it was set for.

 

So far what I have done is delete the new TS that was created for the new image, I've deleted the old TS for the image that was erroring and re-created the TS.

 

That hasn't worked. I'm in the process now of capturing a new image and will create a new TS for it.

 

Anyone have any other ideas? Basically I have 15 people who are trying to mass image machines that are sitting around doing nothing right now.

After doing some research on this error, everything points to partitioning. That the image is trying to install on a partition that is too small. I changed my TS and told the TS to partition it 100% of the disk and put the image on the next available formatted partition.

 

At this point, the TS applies the image but when it goes into the Applying Windows Settings portion, we get a new error code:

 

0x80004005

I'm not using a custom answer file though.

 

Basically I deleted all the TS's and recreated them. Problem fixed.
