MDT 2013 - Litetouch deployment failed, Return Code = -2147467259 0x80004005

I'm attempting to deploy an image that I have recently captured with MDT.  I was able to capture the image without any problems and after capturing, it booted up properly.  But now when I go to deploy the image using a Standard Task Sequence it errors out.  It does boot into WinPE and gets to the installing operating system portion then spits out the following 8 errors:

(5624):2: Run ImageX: /apply "\\PDC31089\DeploymentShare$\Operating Systems\Win7_BUP_1-31-14\Win7_BUP_1-31-14.wim" 1 C:
Litetouch deployment failed, Return Code = -2147467259  0x80004005
Failed to run the action: Install Operating System. 
Unknown error (Error: 000015F8; Source: Unknown)
The execution of the group (Install) has failed and the execution has been aborted. An action failed.
Operation aborted (Error: 80004004; Source: Windows)
Failed to run the last action: Install Operating System. Execution of task sequence failed.
Unknown error (Error: 000015F8; Source: Unknown)
Task Sequence Engine failed! Code: enExecutionFail
Task sequence execution failed with error code 80004005
Error Task Sequence Manager failed to execute task sequence. Code 0x80004005
After I receive the error messages if I attempt to restart the computer and allow it to boot up it just comes up with:
"An operating system wasn't found.  Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an operating system"

I have tried the following to resolve this issue:

  • Create a new deployment share with only network drivers added and the one .WIM that was captured with MDT as well as one Task sequence.
  • Update to MDT 2013
  • Update Deployment share and completely regenerate Boot images
  • Tried starting deployment from within Windows by mapping the drive and executing litetouch.vbs
  • Also tried starting deployment using USB boot disk

I'm running out of ideas and seem to keep getting the same 8 error messages.  It's very aggravating and am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction.

I've included some log files on Skydrive at:  https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=6375A8F9E8089918%21105

MDT 2013 Unable to Install .NET Framework 3.5 for Windows 8.1 Enterprise

I'm just starting to create a reference image of Windows 8.1. I'm adding .NET Framework 3.5 in the Task Sequence as a role and it's failing to install. The bdd.log shows

About to execute command: cmd.exe /c C:\windows\system32\DISM.exe /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:"NetFx3" /Source:"C:\MININT\sources\X64" /LimitAccess /All /NoRestart /logpath:C:\MININT\SMSOSD\OSDLOGS\ZTIOSRole_Dism.log >> C:\MININT\SMSOSD\OSDLOGS\ZTIOSRole_DismConsole.log

ERROR - NetFx3 role processing with DISM.exe failed, rc = -2146498529

The ZTIOSRole_DismConsole.log shows

Enabling feature(s)
Error: 0x800f081f
The source files could not be found.

The ZTIOSRole_Dism has the same errors as well, basically that it cannot find the source. I can see the c:\minnt\sources\x64 folder on the machine. Is there another step to ensure MDT 2013 properly tells the machine it has the files there?

Per Panasonic, I am trying to install their one click driver bundles via a WMI query. See screenshots for how I have it configured. From what I can tell I have it setup correctly. I'm using the post OS TS just for testing. HELP!

I get several of these errors if I let it error out during the TS:

Without using a userexit script, is it possible to check if a particular variable is empty/unset via Bootstrap.ini or Customsettings.ini?

Like, would something like this translate correctly?

I have setup a Native VHD system and am having problems moving the Windows Recovery Environment out of the VHD to its' own partition.

(of course when the system is examined from booting with WINPE, it becomes more clear that C: is [VHD])

Is this impossible to do?  I was thinking that even if I got BCD to change and boot to Recovery, it has references to the systemroot and path (\windows\system32\...) which are in the VHD.  Am I able to get BCD to "mount" the VHD and then boot from the Windows Recovery Environment partition?

My only other option it seems is to just remove Recovery entirely, and make recovery media on USB or CD.....

Hi, I have MDT 2013 installed, copied tools.cab for Dart 6.5 in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Deployment Toolkit\Templates\Distribution\Tools\x86 and C:\Program Files\Microsoft Deployment Toolkit\Templates\Distribution\Tools\x64 folders. x86 version can in x86 folder and x64 in x64 folder. However, I don't see dart tools in the WINPE Features packs in the deployment share properties. I need to deploy Windows 7. Can someone suggest what is wrong? I have tried copying the dart tools.cab files for dart 6.5 7.0 and 8.1 without success.

MDT 2012 - Will not continue after Windows 8 x86 LTI Deployment First Logon - FAILURE (Err): 429: CreateObject(Microsoft.BDD.Utility) - ActiveX component can't create object

May 2, 2013, 3:37 pm

I've looked at all the other threads I could find in Technet that look close to this issue.

In my BDD.log, the last entry is "FAILURE (Err): 429: CreateObject(Microsoft.BDD.Utility) - ActiveX component can't create object" right after "RUN: regsvr32.exe /s "C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\Tools\x64\Microsoft.BDD.Utility.dll""

I have the following:

  1. C:\_SMSTaskSequence folder
  2. C:\MININT folder    
  3. LiteTouch.wsf link under the Startup Folder
  4. Deployment share is mapped properly
  5. System logs in automatically as local administrator

Even with this, it does not automatically resume the imaging job. I do not understand why it is not continuing.

If I launch the LiteTouch.wsf from an Admin elevated cmd window, the Task Sequence resumes like nothing was wrong.

Any guidance is appreciated!


EDIT1: I changed my customsetting.ini file to join a workgroup instead of the domain and it appears to be continuing without issue now. Is there something I am missing as to why it does not automatically run when it joins to a domain?

Mdt set proxy-server

Hi,

Please advise howto set a proxyserver in MDT. I used a configuraiton script but that did not work:

http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/cnackers/archive/2010/11/30/microsoft-deployment-toolkit-using-the-mdt-windows-update-tasks-in-image-engineering.aspx

Tried via add registry, tried via netsh winhttp set proxy but those did not work either. Tired of looking/trying. No errors but the proxy just doesnt appear. Just need a rock solid command that works. Don't want to do it via GPO (Windows updates should occur during task sequence and besides I don't want to depend on a gpo during ts, after ts I still can set/correct  it).

Please advise.

Edit unattend.xml file - No catalog, 64bit install.wim on 64bit 8.1 EnterpriseOS

Environment:

OS the MDT is installed on: Server 2012 R2 Datacenter x64 

OS I am attempting to image: Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64

Logged on with user that is domain admin as well as explicitly added to the local administrators group. 

I'm trying to edit the unattend.xml file within Deployment Workbench on a task sequence.  It is coming up with an error message as follows: 

PROGRESS: 10: Mounting Windows image: E:\images\Operating Systems\Surface 8.1 Ent Base Image\Sources\install.wim. This might take a few minutes.
ERROR: Unable to generate catalog on E:\images\Operating Systems\Surface 8.1 Ent Base Image\Sources\install.wim: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process
   at Microsoft.ComponentStudio.ComponentPlatformInterface.WimImageInfo.PreCreateCatalog()
   at Microsoft.ComponentStudio.ComponentPlatformInterface.OfflineImageInfo.CreateCatalog()
   at Microsoft.BDD.Catalog.Program.DoCatalog()

And then a dialog comes up with not being able to create a catalog file. 

I've used handle to find out if there is a currently open lock on the file, and the only listed is for the deployment workbench (the mmc process itself). 

I've tried to use the Windows System Image Manager to create the catalog file which comes up with a different error message,  16:12 : System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): A required privilege is not held by the client. 

I then tried rebooting the machine and launching the commands manually by using powershell (as admin)

Import-Module "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Deployment Toolkit\bin\MicrosoftDeploymentToolkit.psd1"
get-MDTOperatingSystemCatalog -ImageFile "E:\images\Operating Systems\Surface 8.1 Ent Base Image\Sources\install.wim" -Index "1"

which has come up with the same message, (0x80004005): The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.  

As a test I gave the user account every permission in user rights assignment after seeing the message in WSIM, and this still occured.

Can anyone give some steer as to what may be the issue here, please? 

Thanks.

Hello, 

Im having an issue with MDT 2013 Custom Settings
In 2012 U1 I used the following lines to enable diffrent rules set to diffrent Task Sequences but in 2013 it's just doesn't work

"
[Settings]
Priority=TaskSequenceID, Default

[Default]
Skip1=YES

[TaskID]
Skip2=YES
"

The Problem is that Skip1 get's skipped but Skip2 does not,
All the rules which are not under Default are ignored.

I temporary resolved it by puting only one task, and all the rules are in the Default rules but I must get it working like in 2012.

Thank you!

Cannot find the script file "c:\ltibootstrap.vbs"

Looked around for those with the same problem, only to find the only one that's resolved isn't relatable.

I'm trying to deploy a Windows 8.1 installation iso image (so not captured from a machine), and everything works as expected until near the end when the error "Cannot find the script file c:\ltibootstrap.vbs" shows, and it doesn't install the applications I've specified, so they have to be done manually. The operating system is working, however it automatically boots to the local administrator every time, and for the purpose of the machine this should not be happening.

Windows 7 deployment does not have this issue.


This issue has also only occured since I've switched domain, however the files are identical.

Hi,

I'm testing a depoy on MDT, sometime I need to interrupt the ts and start from scratch. Then I always need to remove the harddisk (vmware) and start all over. There is a tasksequence step which formats the drive but this happens once the specific ts is started.
How can I make sure the drive(s) is(are) formatted before starting the ts?

http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2014/09/09/managing-the-store-app-pin-to-the-taskbar-added-in-the-windows-8-1-update.aspx

I can stop my Task Sequence and manually run gpedit.msc to make the GP setting change but I wonder if there was an easier way to do this prior to capturing the image?

I created a local GPO to put our company logo on the desktop when my systems are imaged.  Now they no longer want this logo on the desktop and only want the generic Windows desktop on the workstations.  Is there a task sequence that I can create to run to modify the wim and remove the company logo without having to recreate a new image.  I'm using MDT 2013 and this is on a Windows 7 system.
